COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the sitting Commis.
sioner, but was engaged at a private sleeting up to half-
past 12.

IN RE HEATHER.

This bankrupt was described as a builder, of East Mous
fey, and came up for his certificate.

Mr. S. Chidley appeared for the assignees, but did no
oppose.

Mr. Brough supported the application, and urged several
points in the bankrupt's favour.
His Honour said that the bankrupt had carried on busi-
ness beyond a time he ought to have done, but, as there
was no opposition, he might take a certificate of the second
class; but he ought to take warning, for if he came again
he would not be so leniently dealt with.

POLICE INTELLIGEN CE-( THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ANNOYING A TRADESNIAN.—Mr. James Kennedy, of
29, Castle-street, Oxford-street, feather manufacturer, was
charged, before Mr. Beadon, with annoying Mr. W. H.
Heath, hatter, of 2GI, Oxford street, in his business.
Mr. Heath said the defendant came to his shop yester-
day, created a great disturbance, and, on his at length
getting ?aim outside, he caused a large number ( f persons
to assemble round the house by calling him a swindler, and
he was therefore obliged to give him into custody.

Defendant said he called for the settlement of an account.
Mr. Heath ordered him out of his shop. saying, that if he
did not leave he would turn him out. He told Mr. Heath
he would call when he was in a better temper, when Mr.
Heath sent for a constable, and he had been locked up
ever since.

Mr. Beadon (addressing the defendant) said his language
on the pr4ious afternoon, when he was brought to this
court, was so abominable to all persons, that he was obliged
to have him locked up in the cells. He had never heard a
man use more blackguard language.
Mr. Heath said he told the defendant to call when he
was sober, and then it was he called him a swindler.
A gentleman who was in the shop at the time confirmed
the plaintiff's statement, and said he heard the defendant
addressing the crowd, and pointing Mr. Heath out as a
swindler.

Mr. Beadon said persons were not to be called swindlers
in this way. If.-the defendant had any claim on the com-
plainant he could go to the county court. He should fine
him 40s , Dr in default 14 days' imprisonment.

SPEECH BY A .PARSEE PRINCE.

Vire learn from the Bombay Gazette that his
Highness Meer Jaffer Ali Khan Bahadur enter-
tained the Parsee community of that place at dinner
in honour of the late marriage of his daughter.
He made a speech to them in which he said that
he reckoned the Parsees as his brothers—" as,
indeed, the whole human race is one common bro-
therhood." Of the impressions which England
had produced upon him, his highness thus spoke :
—" I was anxious that an occasion should arise
when I could give an account of my sojourn in
England to my fellow countrymen ; and by the
grace of God an opportunity has presented itself to
us this evening. I wish I could describe to you
the remarkable intelligence of the Englishmen as
displayed by them in their various dealings—social,
political, commercial. So vast and varied is their
knowledge in everything that they have rightly
earned the title of being ranked amongst the first
and foremost of nations on the face of the globe.
On the first occasion when I visited England in
1844, I stayed there for about five months. The
gentry and nobility of that delightful country
treated me with all the kindness and consideration
for which they are so remarkable. In 1853 I paid
a second visit to England, and had occasion
to prolong my stay there for five years. During
that long period I had every opportunity
of making myself acquainted with their manners
and customs, their social and political laws,
their judicial system, &c., &c. I moved amongst
the leading men of the realm ; and my as-
sociation with Englishmen has impressed me with
a very high opinion of their transcendent intelli-
gence in every branch of human knowledge. To
appreciate their several virtues, to admire their
mechanical ingenuity, and to become acquainted
with all that exalts our mind and enlarges our
heart, we must be there on the spot. No descrip-
tion, however full and glowing, could adequately
convey the idea I have received from personal visit
of the magnificence and grandeur of England and
ha people. One of the most remarkable things
that struck me was the system of their legislation
and government. Their form of government is the
yet seen.
To the people of the East, it
strikesnge that the people should have
control over the acts of the Queen ; in point
o sof muchfc
people govern the country; and to my
be best
fact,
I tthehave
us
a s
very tr
mind it should be so. If we go deeper into the
subject, we will see that the people of a country-
should be the ruling body. I was also struck with
the mode in which justice is administered. I would
go no further than in 3 self—you are all aware, gen-
' tlemen, of the particulars of the case, you see how
equitably they have disposed of the matter. Let
us all pray for the permanent establishment of the
British power iu India, and for the welfare and
prosperity of their nation wherever they go, and
wherever they are." _ .

It appears that. notwithstanding the accounts
continuously received of the glut of English goods, our ex-
ports to the Australian colonies during the first quarter of
the present year exceeded those of the corresponding period
of 1859 by £267,865, or more than 13 per cent. They were
also 6 per cent. in excess of those of 1858. Hence it is plain
that through improper advances by joint •stock banks or
other facilities some transactions of the reckless character
of those which were exp sed in 1857 are still carried on. In
the ease of Mr. John Blaikie, the Aberdeen lawyer who ab-
sconded last month, leaving deficiencies to the amount of
£200,900,. it has transpired that he was an active speculator,
not only in shares, but in consignments of cotton and other
goods to China and elsewhere.

THE PULLING ER FRAUDS.—The Committee of the
Stock Exchange met yesterday with a view to the publica-
tion of a report on the Pullinger frauds, but some facts
having transpired to show that other members, in addition
to the four now suspended, may be found to have been
engaged in-transactions for him, they adjourned the matter
for further consideration. The brokers in question are a
highly respectable firm, and it is said the operations in-
cluded time bargains in Turkish Stock,
