DISMISSAL OF MR. ED WARDS, THE OFFICIAL

ASSIGNEE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTOY—THIS DAY.
(Before Mr. Commi.sioner Holroyd.)
_ _ _

His Honour, on taking his seat, said—ln the case of
Mr. Edwards, it becomes my g ainful duty to announce
the dismissal of Mr. Edwards from the office of official
assignee by order of the Lord Chancellor, which I received
yesterday. The reasons for such dismissal are fully set
f)rth in the order which the registry of the court wil
now record.

Mr. Registrar S. Price then read the order of the Lord
Chancellor. lle recited the Bth section of the Bank-
ruptcy Act of 1861, whereby official assignees are for-
bidden to hold any other office of employment, or
follow any business, on pain of dismissal—also the
122 d of the rules and orders made in pursuance of the Act
of 1840 ; it then recited that Mr. Edwards had, notwith-
standing such rule, entered into an agreement with the
then house of Overend, Gurney, and Co., to act for them
in all matters in which they might require his advice
and assistance in consideration of a payment of a sum
of £5,000 a year for five years from 1863 to '6B; also that
the said Edwards had received .£20,000 from the said firm,
partly in pursuance of the said agreement, and partly, as
he alleged, in consequence of the agreement not being
carried into effect. After reciting the present Lord Chan-
cell r's letter to Mr. Commissioner Rolroyd, of the 29th
of January last, directing an inquiry to be made, and
Mr. Edwards's statement in answer thereto, the order
proceeded—" Now, therefore, I do hereby, and from th
date of this order, dismiss the said Edward Watkins
Edwards from the office of official assignee, in considera-
tion of his deliberate violation of the 122 d rule above re-
ferred to. HATHERLEY, Feb. 27, 1869."

His Honour said the order of dismissal would be forth-
with sent by the Regisrtar to Mr. Edwards.

KITTY. By M. Betham-Edwards, " Author of
" Dr. Jacob," Ste. 3 Vols.—lt is loud since we have read
such a thoroughly fascinating story as this. it possesses
the charm of deep and well-sustained' interest of origi-
nality, and of really good writing. We have seldom met
with much better delineations of caracter. Each indi-
vidual is a perfect study, and causes us to wonder at
and admire the author's knowledge of human nature and
her cleverness at so vividly imparting it. The conversa-
tional parts, too, are admirable, piquant, but thoroughly
natural. We heartily recommend our readers to make
Kitty's acquaintance, and assure them a great pleasure in
the perusal of her strange history."—Observer.
THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.—
Ajnost interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness,
the rise and progress of watch and
clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of
25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-g,rove, and the City Steam
Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely
illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase
without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly
valuable work. By ita aid persons residing in any part of the
United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for
themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent
to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint-
ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address
on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly
recommend it to the notice of the intending purchaser. _

Joseph H. Buckingham, of Lancaster, New
Hampshire, has purchased the entire township of Dix
yille, partly for the sake of its abundant timber, and
partly for the purpose of erecting a hotel to accommodate
those who wish to visit the superb natural soonery of that
region.— A Nashua teamster named Allen, who invested a
fuw dollars some years ago in California land, is having it
returned to him multiplied into thousands by the advanced
value of real estate.

We take the following curious extract from " Trench's
History of Ireland" to show how property can rise in
value :—" Farming in Ireland, Co. Monaghan.-1576.

The erection of the new theological building at
Yale College will begin next spring upon the lot owned

men to one woman ; and in Colorado twenty to one.
Strangers coming. to America from Europe are said to be
struck with the size and stateliness of the American car-
riage horses, which in these particulars excel those of
London and Paris. But the saddle horses are generally
nferior to those of Europa.
The value of tho telegraph has just beeu illus-
trated in San Francisco, viler() a "sneak thief" China-
