LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEA.T.-JIIDGMENT-DUNCOMBE V. GREENACRE,

This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the
Rolls overruling the demurrer to the plaintiff's bill.
The Lord Chancellor said looking to the allegations in
the bill, I agree with the Master of the Rolls in thinking
that the demurrer ought to be allowed. The testator
charged his land with a legacy of £lOO in favour of his
daughter, who was afterwards married, payable six months
after his death. His lordship was of opinion that her hus-
band had no right to interfere with the legacy, and that it
should ternain in court till disposed of according to
equity. The Master of the Rolls protected a married
woman from the misconduct of her husband in attempting
to make away with profits belonging to her.
His Lordship dismissed the appeal with costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
THE LEATHER TRADE AGAIN-IN RE MARSHALL.

This was appointed as the last examination in the matter
of Marshall, described as a boot and shoe manufacturer, of
Billiter-street.

Mr. Albert Turner (Sole, Turner, and Turner), for the
bankrupt, applied for a further adjournment. The accounts
had not yet been filed, though every exertion had been
made to do so.

The Commissioner observed that these adjournments
made the matter very expensive. It should be borne in
mind that by the adoption of such a course the assets were
materially diminished.

Mr. Turner said that the accounts were very voluminous.
Commissioner—What are the assets ?
The Official Assignee—They are put down at £lO,OOO.
Commissioner—ln that case perhaps no harm will accrue
from granting the adjournment.

Adjourned accordingly, and allowance increased to £4
per week.

ANOTHER CASE.--IN RE JOHNSON.

This bankrupt was described as of Hackney-road, boot
and shoemaker, and to-day was appointed for the certificate
meeting.

The Commissioner found, by the report of the official
assignee, that the balance-sheet commencing July, 1859,
does so with a deficiency of £Bl. The unsecured creditors
are £1,251, and the profits £2,295. The assets are : good
debtors, put down at £lO7 (realised £B7) ; property, £6BB
(realised £474).. The bankrupt had been in business 15
years, and commenced without any capital. The books
had not been well kept, and there was no cash book at all.
Mr. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, for the assignees, did not
oppose. The bankrupt had been in business a long time,
and though the creditors were naturally angry at losing
their money, yet they felt that this was not a case calling
for opposition. A memorial from a number of the creditors
had been handed to him (Mr. Sorrell). The creditors,
therein stated, expressed themselves satisfied with the con-
duct of the bankrupt.

Mr. Marshall, for the bankrupt, hoped that his Honour
would take into consideration the memorial of the creditors,
and the Commissioner, after reviewing briefly the facts,
awarded the bankrupt an immediate certificate of this
second class.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( TB'S DAI .)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A CURIOUS DEPENCR.—RacheI Clifton, alias Rachel
Williams, a woman known to the police, was charged be-
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch, of the value
of £6, from the person of George Lynes, 18, Crown-court,
a servant.

From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that he
met the prisoner at Surridge's, at the corner of Coventry-
street, having at the time a watch in his pocket. After
some conversation in French he accompanied her home, and
there missed his watch. He told her he would give her in
charge, and she went with him for that purpose, but on the
way she gave him the slip, and he had seen no more of her
from that time (the 4th) till this morning, when he gave
her in charge.

The primmer said she met the prosecutor at Tagg's, in
Castle-street, where she had some tea, and afterwards
went with him to Surridge's wine-vaults and had several
quarterns of gin. This was at five in the morning. Pro-
secutor said he had no more money, so would leave his
watch, which was. refused. She then went with him to a
court, where he went into a house and got a half-sovereign,
and then they went and had some more gin and some
mutton chops, and after that some more drink at Nab
Lanham's. She did not remember much more, for she
was not exactly sober, having had more drink—in fact she
had been drinking all night on her own account, and was
getting pretty intoxicated at that time.
Prosecutor denied having shown his watch at Surridge's,
and the prisoner replied that he did, for he showed it to the
" carrotty man."

Amies, 343 A, said ho had been to Surridge's, and there
he was told that they came in with a Frenchman, and that
they stood at the bar drinking gin all the while—about
four hours—and that the prosecutor wanted another quar-
tern of gin, offering his watch for it, but it being seen that
ho was much intoxicated, this was refused, and he then
left with the female.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that supported the prisoner's case. It
appeared to have been a regular drinking match, and no
jury would convict on such evidence. If the watch was
afterwards found she could be given into custody again.
He should now discharge her.

NEWS FROM SEBASTOPOL.

The Anxious, Captain Cawthorne, has arrived at
Hull from Balaklava, laden with guns and bones.
Captain Cawthorne arrived at. Balaklava on the 2d
of August, and left that port on. the 2d of September,
and from him we learn that, having been over
Cathcart's.hill, he was surprised at the high state
of preservation which the graveyard was in,
all being neat and in order, flowers also of
various kinds being seen over the graves in
every direction. Mr. Cawthorne visited many
of the graveyards about Inkerman and Bala-
klava, and having previously heard of the reports
of churchyard desecration, he was astonished
to see the beautiful order in which the grave-
yards were kept. _ On entering the grave-
yard in which lie the remains of Captain Hedley
Vicars, Mr. Cawthorne's attention was imme-
diately attracted to the grave of that gallant officer.
which occupies the most conspicuous position in
the place. The headstone was in no way dilapi-
dated, and the grave altogether presented as neat
an appearance as is seen in our own cemeteries, and
Mr. Cathorne expressed the same opinion generally
in respect to all the graveyards which he had
visited. Col. Gowan, a gentleman in every respect,
and high in the estimation of both the Russian and
American Governments, along with Capt. Nichols
and Mr. France, the owner of the Anxious, a native
of Leeds, in Yorkshire, but residing and carrying
on the business of a merchant in Odessa, are the
parties who have the charge of the graveyards,
and as Colonel Gowan has been several times
complimented by the English press for his
disinterested attention to the graves of the
English who fell in the Crimean campaign, it is
quite evident that under his and coadjutors' super
intendence no anxiety need be felt at home for the
preservation of the graves of England's brave sons,
who so nobly died in their country's cause.
Sebastopol itself yet bears (as it will for ages)
the traces of that memorable campaign ; roofless
houses are to be seen in all directions, but the
population is slightly on the increase. The
only building which as yet has been restored
by the Russian Government is the Admiralty
building, which was only slightly damaged, the
once fine hospital being still left in its- dilapi-
dated state, only tenanted by a few old Jews,
who earn their living by going over the battle-
fields, digging up old iron and lead, which they
sell, and upon which they have to pay a small
percentage to the Russian Government. Of the
renowned Malakoff and Redan towers nothing now
remains but shattered mounds, in which lie em-
bedded several guns, dislodged by the allies, and
where may be occasionally seen half-a-dozen men
engaged disentombing the old cannon ; and here
and there in the trenches, or surmounting earth-
works, may be seen live shells, which no person
dare touch for fear of the havoc an explosion
of one of them would cause, and there is a
likelihood of their remaining there for some time
yet. Captain Cawthorne was unknowingly going
to pick a live shell up to bring home as a trophy,
but was only too glad to leave it on being
told by a friend that if touched it would ex
plode. The population of Sebastopol and imme-
diate district is between 2,000 and 3,000. Colonel
Gowan is proceeding with his contract to raise
the sunken vessels in the harbour,which he has now
rendered perfectly navigable. He employs daily
about 200 men, who, with his clerks, &c., occupy,
the naval arsenal, which was converted into a ren-
dezvous specially for them. The operations con-
nected with the raising of the sunken ships, &c.,
are on a large and grand scale, by the improved
apparatus which Colonel Gowan uses, his principal
divers being enabled to remain in 22 fathoms of
water for the space of four hours ; and though the
operations have extended over four years only one
accident has happened, and that was the drowning
of one of the divers in consequence of one of the
air pipes bursting under the pressure of the air
which was being pumped into it. It is supposed that
Col. Gowan's operations will occupy two years more
before the harbour is totally cleared. During Capt.
Cawthorne's stay at Sebastopol, one of the largest
of the sunken vessels was raised, and a considerable
portion of the iron which he has brought home was
got up from the sunken ships. Between 500 and
600 men, Russian and Circassian labourers, are
daily employed at the four new patent slips now in
course of construction, under the superintendence
of Mr. Muir, who has the contract under the Rus-
sian Government for the construction of the slips,
but they are being made under the direction of an
Edinburgh firm. They are to be on a grand scale,
and when completed will each be able to lift a ship
of 800 tons burthen. The large fly-wheel in con-
nection with each slip will weigh 10 tons. The
chief characteristics of the Russian customs officials

is by every visitor to Sebastopol noticed to be their
extraordinary disposition of friendship towards
those who give them good donut's on the one hand
and their overbearing injustice and oppression on
the other to those who aredisposei to be less liberal
towards them. On a man well bribing the cfficials,
he may land all kinds of prohibited articles, whilst.
if he does not give liberally, he will not be allowed
to land articles which are not prohibited. All Eng-
lish newspapers are strictly forbidden. The resi-
dents in Balaklava, who are Greeks, number only a
little aver 100. These, during the Crimean war,
were taken prisoners and brought over to Plymouth,
some of them in H.M.S. Excellent. They have by
some means got back again, and they speak in
grateful terms of the kindness they received in
England, and express their love for the English
people. Balaklava abounds with vineyards, some
of them covering an area of 150 acres, and the
soil is remarkable for its fertility. Of grapes,
melons, and various kinds of rich fruit there are
large crops, the ♦ineyards being the only means
of support the population of Balaklav a have.
