TWO-YEAR-OLD HANDICAP.—Kate Kearney made all the
running, followed closely by Ridley, Heberle, and Lady Al-
bert ; at the ropes Ridley and Heberle challenged ; a pretty
race ensued. Kate Kearney winning rather cleverly by half a
length. Heberle was beaten a length from the winner. The
rear was brought up by Young Mouse, Mohair, and Adana.
Lady Albert was fourth.
ST. LEGER STAKES.—Olympic made running, Armadillo
waiting on him to the Abingdon Mile Bottom, where he took
up the work, carrying it on to the commencement of the Cri-
terion Course. Here he shut up, and Olympic resumed the
lead, which he maintained to the Duke's Stand. Bentley now
went in front, and Charivari took a position alongside Olympic,
but did not hold it many strides. At the ropes the event was
doubtful, and Olympic at one moment looked so well that two
or three galloped off the course, from a conviction that it was
all over. In the last three or our strides, however, he ran
cowardly, and was beaten half a length. Shilelah and Armadillo
pulled up at the ropes on finding that the chances were out.

SIR WALTER SCOTT IN JEOPARDY.

We had several very pleasant days' sporting among
the woods of Yarrow, and along the flats on the
banks of the Tweed ; on one of which occasions
an accident had like to have happened, which
would have rendered my visit a painful reminiscence
for the remainder of my life, instead of a pleasant re-
collection of happy moments. Sir Walter, G
myself, and three or four more of the guests, had pro-
ceeded to the lower wood, armed with the implements
of destruction to the winged tribes ; for although I am
no sportsman, and more used to managing briefs
than barrels (I mean gun-barrels), and memoran-
dums than Mantons, r always wore my belt, and
cocked my piece, with as desperate a determina-
tion as the best sportsman among them. We had
been about two hours in the wood, when G
attracted by something to the left of the path we
were pursuing, called us to follow him, and darted
through a thick clump of underwood. Our host was
next to him ; and, unfortunately, G 's gun
got entangled among the brushwood, when, as he
was rather carelessly carrying it with the butt fore-
most, it went off, as we imagined, full in Sir
Walter's face. All was consternation on the in-
stant,
and we crowded to the spot ; the alarm, hap-
pily, was the only mischief, as our host was unharmed.
The shot, however, had perforated his hat ; and, as he
lifted it from the ground, and pointed to the orifice, he
said with a smile, " Mr. G—, you have nearly
done what all the reviewers and critics in the literary
world could not effect—put an end to the Waverley
novels." The good-humoured manner in which he said
this, however, did not restore the harmony of the party.
What might have been the consequences of this acci-
dent quite depressed our spirits, and we soon returned
to Abbotsford. Mr. Hogg had left us the day before
this ; and I do not think that many of the guests but
those with us were made acquainted with the awkward
circumstance. Sir Walter plainly perceived how much
G— blamed himself for his carelessness, and avoided
touching on the subject.—New Monthly Magazine.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday a case of great importance connected with the
law of settlement came on in an incidental way before Mr.
CHAMBERS, under the following circumstances :
Two of the parochial officers belonging to the parish of
St. Giles-in-the-Fields attended for the purpose of entering
into recognizances to prosecute ari appeal in the Court of
King's Bnch relative to the settlement of a pauper of the
name of Barrow, which had been moved from the Quarter
Sessions by a writ of certiorari.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, accordingly read over
the recognizances to the appellants.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Pray what is -this about ? A gentle-
man who attended from the parish of Marylebone, which is
the respondent, replied it was merely to try the question as
to the legal settlement of a pauper of the name of Barrow.
Mr. CHAMBERS—What ! are you going to the Court of
King's Bench with a pauper's case ? The respondent re-
spondent replied it was a question of considerable im-
portance to parishes, and on the decision of the Judges in
the present case a great number of othors would depend.
It was whether a person who, having rented a house, but
part of which he let out to a weekly tenant, was or was not
a parishioner. In the present case the pauper rented and
occupied a house, but a portion of which he let out to a
lodger at a weekly rent, and they therefore contended that
he had no claim whatever on their parish.
Mr. CHAMBERS--.-According to your statement no person
who happens to let out part of his house has any claim to
the parish in which that house is situated.
Respondent—He has not.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Then those large hotel-keepers in and
about Bond-street are not householders, for they let out
nearly the entire of their premises to families and gentlemen.
Respondent—Such is the law.
Ali. CHAMBERS—In all cases of felony in which a per-
son who is robbed happens to lodge the offence is stated to
take place in the house of the occupier.
Mr. FITZPATRICK observed the law required such a
description.
The appellants then entered into the usual recognizances.
It appears that the pauper had formerly occupied a
house in the parish of St. Giles, and afterwards in that of
Marylebone, to which parish he became burthensome. The
officer of the latter parish removed the pauper to St. Giles's,
under an Aet which came into operation on the 31st of
March, 1831, which prevents a person becoming charge-
able to a parish who takes a house after that period, pro-
vided he lets part out to a tenant. This question was
mooted about twelve months since in the Court of King's
Bench at the Sittings in Banco ; the parties in that case
being the parishes of St. Nicholas and St. Margaret of
Rochester. r considereble time occupied by Counsel
in arguing the law, the Lord Chief Justice and the other
Judges decided that a person who took a house after the
31st of March, 1831, and let part out of it to lodgers, had
no claim to the parish in which such tenement was situated.

Yesterday a private of the 60th Rifles, of this gar-
rison, deliberately shot himself while on guard at the barrack
gate ; the ball entered opposite the heart, passed round the
ribs, came out near the spine, and dropped in the sentry-box.
The rash act is attributed to the operation of unhappy feelings,
produced by jealousy. Dr. Renwick, medical attendant on the
garrison, was immediately on the spot, but the wound precluded
all hopes of recovery. He died a few hours after. He was
a fine soldier-like young man.— Wexford Conservative.
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS OF HASTlNGS.—Has-
tings had, half a century ago, trading vessels to the Mediter-
ranean ; a little silk weaving was also carried on, but no other
manufacture, the town having been at all times principally
employed in its fisheries, which seem to have been, and still
continue to constitute one considerable branch. Boat-build-
ing also occupies a considerable number of hands, and the
people of Hastings have gained a high reputation for their
skill in the construction and quality of their boats and vessels—
the latter in particular, as to strength and goodness, has been
acknowledged and sanctioned by Lloyd's, before they pub-
lished the late regulation with respect to size and squareness
of scantling, &c. In addition to these branches of industry, a
lime company is established here that affords some employ-
ment. Several vessels are regularly employed from April to
November, or even longer, in bringing chalk from Holywell-
Hills to Beachy Head. One of these vessels in the summer
season will frequently deliver at Hastings from four to six car-
goes a week ; and the kilns, which are situated at some dis-
tance westward of the town, produce, upon an average, about
120,000 bushels of lime a year. A great deal of timber plank
and grain, &c., are brought here from the country, to be
shipped and carried coastwise. Formerly cannon were brought
here from the iron foundries at Robertsbridge and Ashburn-
ham. The only articles imported by sea of any consequence
(besides fish) are coals, fir timber, deals, groceries, and other
goods, from London, &c., all of which imports have consider-
ably increased since Hastings has become a place of so much
fashionable resort.

him. On Sabbath night his Lordship was to be at Dunkeld.

We have authority to state that no claim upon Mr.
Raikes, the late Governor, exists on the part of the Bank of
England, nor did he ever avail himself of a single opportunity
to receive pecuniary accommodation or sssistance from that
corporation.
A meeting of the Court of Directors of the Bank of
England was held in the Bank parlour this afternoon (Thurs.:
day), for the purpose, among other matters, of taking the
measures that have become necessary in consequence of the
disqualification, and consequent resigi?ation, of Mr. Richard
Mee Raikes, the late Governor. It is understood that Mr.
Pattison, the Deputy. Governor, has accepted the seat, and
that a notice will be issued to-morrow for the election of a
Deputy Governor. An opinion has been expressed that some
inquiry should be instituted by the Court of Directors into the
state of affairs which led to the failure above noticed ; but, on
the other hand, it is conceived that this would be going beyond
the line of duty imposed upon the Court of Directors, as they
ilr with certain transactions
immediately
concerned, iin whichbut
we the
arcould have no control over the private transactions of the firm
in question. There have been reports circulated, connecting

THE GREAT WILL CAUSE.

It is said to be the intention of Admiral Tatham to
move the Court of King's Bench for a new trial, upon the
ground that the verdict is contrary to evidence, as well as
on the alleged partiality of the Judge. Sir James Scarlett
left Lancaster on Monday, at one o'clock, immediately
after he had finished his case. He proceeded to Storrs
Hall, the seat of Colonel Bolton, for a few days, and from
thence he was to pay a visit at Lowther Castle, where his
son, Major Scarlett, had been staying. Great blame is
attached to Sir James Scarlett by Admiral Tatham's
friends, for not watching the case to the end, as both Mr.
Cresswell, Mr. Starkie, and Mr. Armstrong, frequently
interposed, whilst Baron Gurney was delivering his charge,
and a notice to move for a new trial has been given. It is
certainly reprehensible in any advocates not attending until
the conclusion of the trials in which they are retained : but
in the present case of Sir James Scarlett, perhaps some
excuse may be made for him. It was agreed upon, with
the consent of all parties, that neither he nor Mr. Pollock
(who was also anxious to leave town) should appear in
court, during the delivery of the charge ; so that there
might not be a greater advantage on one side than the
other. Thus, in parliamentary phrase, they " paired off,"
leaving the management of the cause to those with whom
they acted. Mr. Pollock left town at nine o'clock on
Wednesday morning, with his lady, his eldest daughter,
and one of his sons, who came on purpose, it is said, to
hear this far-famed trial.—Edinburgh Paper.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, SEPT. 25.

EXTENSIVE FAILURES.
Several fiats have been awarded to-day, and within the
last few days past, against persons in the city, who have
been carrying on business on a very extensive scale.

CHANDLER AND KING'S BANKRUPTCY.
The bankrupts in this case have for a long period car-
ried on a large business as woollen-drapers, &c., in St.
Paul's Churchyard. A fiat of bankruptcy was issued
against the firm on the 19th instant ; the first meeting of
the creditors was held to-day, for the proof of debts and
choice of assignees. The proof of debts was continued
during the whole meeting, claims objected to having been
postponed until the next meeting. The total debts and
liabilities against the estate of the bankrupts are estimated
at very nearly 50,0001. The value of the stock is calcu-
lated at between 5,0001. and 6,0001., and the debts due to
the firm are about 12,0001. The total amount of debts
proved to-day was 21,7771. 16s. The further proceedings
were adjourned.

NAPOLEON'S INVASION OF ENGLAND.

Among other matters Sir Neil Campbell, (British Com-
missioner at Elba during the Emperor's exile there) stated
that he had purposely questioned Napoleon as to the reality
of his intention of ever invading England, it being supposed
by many that all the preparations at Boulogne and other
parts of the French coast, had no other object than to lead
the British nation into extraordinary expenses, and thus to
make a ruinous war upon our finances. Napoleon's reply
was, " that he never had engaged more seriously in any
project—that had Villeneuve obeyed the instructions im-
peratively imposed upon him, to come north about the island
on his return from the westward, nothing could have pre-
vented him (Napoleon) from holding the channel for a week ;
and that such a command of it for that time would have
been sufficient." He should then have ascended the
Thames and landed in Essex, aiding (and this part of his
answer is particularly applicable to the subject of this
work,) " Pray, Monsieur le Colonel, what was there to
prevent my entrance into London ?" It was also Napo-
leon's opinion that England would lte exposed, from time to
time, to similar attempts ; and that it would require an
armed force of great extent in the Channel to provide
against them during war ; for he observed, while a powerful
armament would call off, under various pretences, the re-
gular channel fleet, a second would be required to replace
it so as to give England the necessary security, in case the
hostile fleet were to succeed in evading the chase, and re-
turn, unseen towards the east ; which was exactly the case
of Villeneuve.—Bordwine's Fortification.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-SEPT. 23.

Wm. Giles was opposed by Mr. COOKE on the part of
three creditors named Fisher, Wilson, and Smith ; he was
also opposed by Mr. Dicas, the attorney, in person ; and
was supported by Mr. WOOD4OFFE.
In this case a point of some importance was raised. The
insolvent had been a •ribbon-manufacturer in Lad-lane,
Wood-street, Cheapside. He was declared a bankrupt at
the instance of Mr. George Wilson, one of his opposing
creditors, who, it was stated, soon afterwards left for New
York in 1831, and his last examination had been adjourned
sine die. The bankrupt, however, obtained an order on the
signature of two creditors to investigate the petitioning
creditor's debt, but that proceeding was abandoned. A pe-
tition was subsequently presented to the Court of Review
to reverse the adjudication of bankruptcy, on the ground
that there was neither a petitioning creditor's debt, or an
,act of bankruptcy. That petition was dismissed, and the
bankrupt ordered to pay the costs of all parties,
which—it was stated—was an unusual proceeding, and
the judges observed that his conduct was vexatious. The
costs amounted to 371. Gs. Bd., and he was now in cus-
tody for them. The next step he took was to indict
Mr. Wilson and his joint assignee, Mr. Smith, with Mr.
Fisher, of Walbrook, the solicitor under the commission,
for a conspiracy. The defendants made up their own re-
cord and went to Westminster, -were tried, and were ac-
quitted. An action in trover was then brought to try the
validity of the petitioning creditor's debt and the act of
bankruptcy, and both were established by the jury finding
a verdict for the defendants. It was stated that the pro-
ceedings had put the opposing parties to between GOO/. and
700/. law expences. The insolvent affirmed that he owed
nothing to the parties who made him a bankrupt ; he had
given up some property, but no dividend had been paid.
Mr. Dicas was the attorney for the insolvent in some of the
proceedings ; his bill amounted to about 3001., and the in-
solvent admitted that he had not made him a payment.

On the part of the opponent it:was urged by Mr. COOKE
that the insolvent must obtain the consent of three-fourths
of his creditors, or remain in prison till the expiration of five
years from his bankruptcy, inasmuch as the debts incurred
had been unnecessary, and excluded him from the 64th
section.
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN was of the same opinion, and
adjourned the case for him to obtain the 'consent of three-
fourths of his creditors in number and value.

BANKRUPT'S STOCK.

MR. SAMUEL LOVE begs to inform the
Trade, he is authorized by the Assignees of Messrs.
Chandler and King to submit to public competition their large and
well assorted STOCK, comprising a most extensive assortment of
of the very best goods, consisting of best west country superfines,
double-milled and other cloths, cassimeres and Petershams, Har-
ringtons, rich silk and other waistcoatings, cantoons, drills, and a
great variety of other goods. The value of this Stock is between
8 and 9,000/., and it is the best and most extensive that has been
offered for many years ; and as it is to be sold under a Bankruptcy,
the whole must be submitted without the least reserve. Buyers,
who are about to make their autumnal purchases, will do well to
defer the same until they have had an opportunity of examining
it, which will be shown very shortly. The sale will take place
within about three weeks of this date.

Catalogues and full particulars of the sale will be advertised as
early as possible.

CHOLERA.

d's
We are concerned to say that within the last few ,
the cholera has broken out with much virulence at Spr'nog..
burn, a small village about three miles north from Glasg,°l.ii
The first victims were two children, who died on Thur,,n.3il
—other cases followed rapidly, and betwixt SaturdaY jig
Sunday morning there were seven other deaths---ltel.
twelve cases yesterday afternoon, in four or five ofsc-ed.
there was no expectation of recovery. It is almostt" ti ethe
less to mention that every thing has been done IV
ave•
authorities, and different medical gentlemen here, tr° tiritb
viate the sufferings of those who have been visited m.
the disease, and to check its further progress. YesteOrtbe
the magistrates assembled at the police office, and gav',.:t.
most prompt and liberal orders that every possible asthe
ante should be rendered—and the sick were visited ill
course of the day by no fewer than six medical ge,nlle,l9,iel-
amongst whom were Drs. Corkindale, Spittal, ."--,‘ery
son. Captain Watson was also out twice, doing A'fire
thing in his power for the comfort of the villagers. ."; f
engine and water butt were taken out for the Purrled;
thoroughly cleansing the spot where the disease Pl'e"--this
and we must say we never saw ariy situatioP wlleniest
was more necessary. The whole of the deaths, and
each
all the cases, took place in four buildings , which i°'ll
other on one side of the road, having suk flats for weasas
ing, while at the back of the premises there are dungsteol
in a very bad state, and in the front stagnated waterhese
mud choking up the sewer. In short, the whole °frtentlY
dwellings were surrounded with a moat of filth, 813138 there
of long standing. On the opposite side of the "add r
os
are no sunk fiats, and matters are in much better or,eoll
regards cleanliness—the consequence of which is, tha'his
one or two cases have occurred there. We trust t
the extent of the calamity, and our hopes are the rn°reester
guine on this point from there being no new easeto.re•
day. Dr. Francis Ritchie was sent out last night
main on the spot. Our accounts at nine o'clock' % oell
mention that two more deaths had taken place, but
cases. There have thus been eleven deaths
there are yet ten cases under cure.—Glasgow Hera—.

IRISH LINEN-PRIZE MEDAL.

We have had the gratification of seeing two pieces of
linen, for which a silver medal was voted at the last exhibi-
tion of Irish manufactures in the metropolis. This linen
was manufactured from handspun yarn, that produced by
•machinery being, it appears, less serviceable], by a tenant
on the estate of Viscount Mandeville--is of the very finest
texture, and in other respects, whether as to the quality or
the state in which it is finished, might be put inncompetition
with the best productions of the lo•m either in this or any
other country. The medal, which is elegant, bears the fol-
lowing inscription :
" The Royal Dublin Society to Mr. Joseph Malcomson,
county Armagh, for two pieces of finest lawn."
We understand that the success of this individual has
stimulated others, also tenants of. the Noble Viscount, to
exert their utmost skill in preparing articles for the next
annual exhibition. And whilst adverting to this subject, it
is but justice to mention that which may serve as an
example to other landlords—naMely, that Lord Mandeville
provides both wheels and lonins to his tenantry, who pay
for them by quarterly instalments. This truly wise and
benevolent system has been acted on by his Lordship for a
considerable time past, and with so much success, that it is
hoped, ere long, such a thing as a hired loom will not be
found on his estates.—Newry Paper.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday the Committee of the whole Court upon the
Municipal Institutions of the City assembled, for the pur-
pose of discussing the merits of a letter directed by the Lord
Mayor to William Pritchard, Esq., the Chairman of the
Committee, in answer to an application to his Lordship to
appoint an early day for deliberating upon the Report re-
lating to the Corporation.
The CHAIRMAN of the Committee stated that he and
others, who formed a deputation of the eighty-two mem-
bers of the Court, had waited upon the Lord Mayor, to
represent to his Lordship the anxiety of the requisitionists
for the appointment of as early a day as possible for the
discussion of the Report of the Committee. Upon that
occasion the deputation stated their reasons in as forcible
terms as-they could, and the Lord Mayor promised to re-
turn an answer on Monday last, a promise which he,pune-
tually performed, but in such terms as excited a consider-
able degree of astonishment, and led to the present assem-
bling of the Committee. The following was the letter of
his Lordship :

" Mansion House, Sept. 22, 1834.
" Sir,—lt is my intention to endeavour to clear the paper
of business before my year of office expires, and having stated
(upon the motion being made for the adjournment of the Court
especially called to consider the Report of the Committee of
the whole Court), that if the motion was persisted in, the fur-
ther cGnsideration must come in its regular place • and as the
notices for the two last Courts have been printed, so as to
lead the different members of the Court, now out of town, to
consider that some time must elapse before the further consi-
deration would be brought on, I cannot now alter it ; but if
the Commissioners of Inquiry will honour me with any com-
munication that they are delayed making up their Report until
they receive the opinion of the Court of Common Council, I
will give sufficient notice to insure the attendance of the mem-
bers, and call an especial Court.—l have the honour to be your
obedient servant, " C. IP ARE BR OTHE R.
" To William Pritchard, Esq.," &c.
After some discussion, a motion by Mr. GALLOWAY, that
the Chairman should write to the Lord Mayor, expressing
the regret of the Committee at the conduct of his Lord-
ship in refusing to grant a Court for the dismission of such
important questions, and stating that they had no intention
to discuss them during the present Mayoralty, was carried
unanimously.
It was also unanimously agreed to that the Town-Clerk
should wait upon the Lord Mayor with the instruction, and
the Committee broke up.
London, England, 1834-09-26

SILK TRADE.

This branch -of the nationaLindustry is suffering now
severely. Many causes may be assigned- for this, but Lb.°
principal one appears to be the fact, that the consumption
of silk goods throughout the world has overrun the produc-
tion of the raw material, which is from its nature susceptible
only of slow increase. Owing to the changes in the affairs
and proceedings of the East India Company, the imports of
raw silk by that body have undergone a positive and cone
siderable diminution. The result has been a serious reduc-

tion of the stock of raw silk in this country, and, by the
assistance of some speculation, a very great rise in the price
of that article. The endeavour to obtain an adequate in-
crease in the price of manufactured goods has, to some
extent; actually checked the consumption, and, in addition,
has alarmed the buyers, who will not purchase beyond their
immediate wants, unless at prices productive of heavy loss

to the manufacturers. Under these circumstances one pru-
dent course only seems left to the manufacturers and
throwsters, which is, to curtail their production, and that
materially. By this means the demand for raw silk will be
proportionately lessened, and a further advance (otherwise
inevitable) avoided, and on the other hand, the market will
become by degrees bare of goods, and the confidence of the
buyers restored. This has been already done to some ex-
tent in this neighbourhood, and although the working
classes are beginning to suffer from it, the stability of their
future employment depends upon its being more extensively
acted upon and persevered in. It may be mortifying enough,
at the same time, to hear that the continental manufac-
turers are so active, that raw silk is being daily re-exported
to France ; but it is quite obvious that the evil will be in
no wise mitigated by keeping the home market redundant
of goods, and selling them at a loss.—Macclesfield Courier.
