COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
THE LEATHEE. TRADE.—IN RE HOOPER AND PARUINSON,

These bankrupts were described as of Seething-lane,
leather dealers and leather factors, and to-day was ap-
pointed for their last examination; which, however, was
adjourned, the balance-sheet not having been filed. The
debts proved amount to £35,000.
Mr. Linklater asked for the continuation of the allow-
ance for one month, with leave to apply at the end of that
time, the examination being adjourned for two months.

lORTIFICATION OF ALGERIA.

The distrust manifested oflatein England against

France, and the system now acted on of fortifying
the coasts of Great Britain, ought, the Opinione
Nationale declares, to suggest analogous acts of pru-
dence to the French Government, and the coasts of
Algeria should not be left any longer unprotected.
England, the writer thinks, could not take umbrage
at such a course, since it is the very one now so
strongly patronised by the English Cabinet for its
own country. The follo;`•ing is an extract from
the article :

" Algeria is for France he most valuable of colo-
nies; she would not exchange it for the Indo-Brit-
tannic Empire, because. inderendently of its future
prosperity, which will largely remunerate France
for her sacrifices, it is destined sooner or later
to givo her a preponderance in the Mediterra-
nean. It will therefore appear very natural that
we should raise our voice to demand that a posses-
sion of such importance should be put beyond the
reach of a sudden attack. We do not, we repeat,
stspect the pacific and friendly intentions of Eng-
land, although one of the principal German journals
lately stated positively, that the Cabinet of St.
James's was studying the surest means of annihi-
lating our domination in Ageria, by exciting a re-
volt among the native population. All that comes
from Germany is not, however, Gospel. But,
nevertheless, let us suppose (for an hypothesis com-
promises nothing) our relations with Great Britain
broken off; let us imagine to ourselves her fleets,
supported on one side by Gibraltar, and on the other
by Malta, and everywhere seeking for our weak
point ; should we, could we feel easy as to the fate
of Algeria? The 625 miles of coast which we possess
on the African coast are deprived of natural shelter,
and skirted for the most part with steep cliffs,
which would render a landing difficult or even im-
possible. The coast only presents five large inden-
tations,—the Bays of Oran, Algiers. Bugia, Ph ilippe-
ville, and Bona, where a descent might be effected
with success. Those are the points which ought to
be protected. Long and costly works have provided
for the defence of the port and city of Algiers, but
nothing has been done at Mers-el.Kebir and at
Bugia, which are the two principal positions on the
coast in a nautical and strategical point of view.
If, therefore, the English were to gain possession of
Mers-el-Kebir, which is almost at the mouth of the
gut of Gibraltar, they would intercept all our com-
munications between the Atlantic and the Mediter-
ranean ; prevent our revictualling by sea the pro-
vince of Oran, and would raise at the same time the
tribes subjected tG our authority, and the neigh-
bouring inhabitants of Morocco. In the present
state of things a landing might be easily effected at
Mers-el-Kebir. It would not be less on the beach
of Bugia, and the enemy, in possession of that town,
might brave all our efforts, arm against us all the
Kabyles, and send out her vessels in all directions.

It is therefore important to repair without delay
the carelessness of the Government of Louis
Philippe, and to execute at 'Hers el-Kebir, at Bugia,
and at Fort Genois, the works which are necessary
to place those three important points beyond the
reach of an attack, by applying them to the wants
of our navy."

Fresh up to-day a very limited supply of English wheat
came to hand, coastwise and by land carriage. New quali-
ties—the condition of which was very inferior—met a dull
sale, at Monday's decline in value ; but old parcels were
in somewhat improved request, at that day's currency.
We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat,
in which a moderate business was transacted at unaltered
quotations. There was very little inquiry for floating
cargoes of grain.

Good and fine barley was steady in price, but inferior
parcels were a dull sale.

There was less activity in the malt trade, nevertheless
the quotations were supported.
Oats were a slow inquiry, and damp parcels were the
turn in favour of buyers.
Beans awl peas supported previous rates.
Tho flour trade was inactive, at Monday's fall in the
quotations.

There is a fair average business doing in good and fine
hops at very full prices, but other kinds command very
little attention. The advices from the plantations are still
unfavourable, and the duty is called £50,000 to £55,000.
