(Before Mr. Commissioner M FRIVA LE. )
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN COURT.

The creditors of Charles Gregory, of Luzon,
Bedfordshire, malt-ter, met to-day, in order to be
present at the last examination of the bankrupt.
The proceedings under the commission are not of
any importance either as regards the amount of debts
or the trading operations of the bankrupt, but only
deserve notice in consequence of a determined at-
tempt on the part of the bankrupt to stab himself
while under a private examination a few days since.
The brother of the bankrupt was under examina-
trot) as to some imputed acts of collusion, and the
answers not being of a satisfactory nature, the Com-
missioner threatened to commit the brother unless
he gave more correct intelligence as to his connec-
tion with the affairs of the bankrupt. The threat
had hardly escaped the lips of the Commissioner
that► the bankrupt took a large clasp knife from his
pocket, tore open his waistcoat, and made two
thrusts with the open instrument at his left breast.
In the second attempt the knife, it is imagined,
struck against part of the buckle of the braces, and
the blade was turned off arid shut up. The utmost
confusion existed in the Court, and many persons
rushed towards the bankrupt, and after a severe
struggle took the knife from him. By the first
s►roke the bankrupt cut himself, the blood firfl:rised
copiously, and Gregory fell back, apparently in a
dying state, to the consternation of the 1% hole Court.
The wound was exam ned and found to be very
slight, and by no means dangerous. The further
proceedings were adjourned until this day, when the
answers of the bankrupt were so unsatisfactory that
Mr. Commiss over MERIVALE felt bound to adjourn
the final examination sine die.

COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nov. 29.

(Before Sir JoJIN Nrciv.:LL.)
THE MARIk:.A.

Dr. ADDAMS had a moron to make, which was,
that the Court should direct the pa)ment out of the
registry of 9801, the proceeds of the sale of the
schooner Mariana and her cargo, to the officers
and crew of his Majesty's ship Primrose, under the
following circumstances :—The Donna Mariana
was a Brazilian vessel, and was cap, to ed 4,11 Lagos
and carried in o Sierra Leco;e by tie Primrose, si e
having been engaged in the slave trade, the ce-sel
having first been captuted by the Campadoria, a pi-
ratical vessel, and recaptured by ttie Primrose.
Proceedings w ei'e commenced in the Vice-Admi-
ralty Court of Sierra Leone, and the vessel was con-
demned as a good and lawful piize, in June, 1829,
to Captain Gieenhoff, the Commander of the
Primrose. He ( Dr. A.) could not then contend
ti.at his sentence was in good form or correct in
point of taw. After the sentence hairbeen given
the Braz pan Consul intervened on be ralf of Bra-
zilian subjects generally, and the Judge of the Vice-
Admnalty Court suireittied his decision, on the al-
leged ground that the vessel was Brazilian pto-
petty, and decreed one-eighth of the proc. eds to
ne paid to Cup ain Greentiotr, and directed the
remaining seven-eighths to temain in the military
chest at Sierra Leone, to meet the claims of Big-
,zilian subjects. lesh proceedings were corn-
metired in the March foTowing by the Captain
of
the Primrose to recover the remaining seven-
eighths, their being no Braz lian claimants, on the
ground that the ship was engaged in the illegal
traffic f slaves, and the Judge then decreed that
the remaining seven-eighths of the proceeds of the
.essel were the lawful prize of Captain Gieenhoff.
l'tie money was now in he Registry, and the substan-
tial interest was vested between the Captain and
the Crown. The latter had consented to the de-
cision of the V►ce-Admiralty Curt as far as it
