COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE CHASSEREAD.

This bankrupt was descrited as late of Finsbury-place
South, merchant, and now of Lime street. The bank-
rupt had also been connected with the firm of D. W.
Wright, of Oporto, in which he was liable to a large
amount. The balance sheet, by Messrs. Batter and
Cannings, commences Jan., 1857, with a surplus of
1,1821.; and the present debts unsecured in England
amount to 7,7231. 11'.; in Portugal, 3,801/. ; to ac-
ceptances for account of D. W. Wright, of Lisbon,
5,3501. Lie.bility on draught4, 3,9911. It is ex-
pected that D. W. Wright will pay a com-
position of 551. per cent, on this claim. To
acceptances for account of J. M. de Costa, of
Oporto, partly against wines warehoused in
my name per contra, and liabilities on drafts on him,
5,5931. ; liabilities on other drafts, 4,8151., probably
reduced by weight to 1,7001.; probable claims upon
Oporto house, 5,6951. ; profits, 2,6621. Creditor—by
cash in the hands of the official assignee, 701. ; doubtful
debts, 1111. ; property to realise, 1,1401. ; wines in
dock, 1.2251. Shipments and cash advances on account
of Oporto—the balance, 10,0131.; assets in Oporto now
in course of realisation for the benefit cf creditors, as
per agents' account, 5,9621. ; trade expenses, 2,0611.;
domestic, 1,3631. ; loses, 6431.

Mr. Saxton appeared for the assignees, and Mr.
Linklatcr for the bankrupt, who passed without oppoei-

General proofs were admitted, one of which was by a
Mr. Dick, as co-trustee with the bankrupt and others ;
the sum amounting to about 6,8001. had been lent to
the bankrupt by the other trustees.
His Honour said that the transaction had been ex-
ceedingly improper, and although he would 'admit the
proof he should put a memorandum on the proceedings
that the dividend should be securely invested for the
benefit of the parties entitled to the funds.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Gonlburn.)
IN ItE TREDDENICIE.

This bankrupt was de,orib?,d as of Gresham House,
Old Broad street, share and mining agent, and to-day
was appointed for his last examination, which had been
adjourned from time to time with a view of superseding
the bankruptcy, and negotiations to that effect are still
going on with a probability that the arrangement will be
satisfactorily carried out. An adjouronment was there-
fore taken for a month.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM SUMMER MEETING-TUESDAY.

Soon after the commencement of the sport the
wind blew a hurricane, shaking the wooden stand,
and threatening to rend the canvas froin the booths.
It however soon subsided, and; with the exception
of now and then a smart shower of rain, the after-
noon turned out propitious. The course was not
so well attended as we have seen it on preceding
"opening days," but the falling off in t!,e assem-
blage of spectators was mainly attributable to the
lowering clouds and bleak atmosphere. The high
wind exercized a most beneficial effect on the run-
ning ground, drying the grass, and rendering the
course generally " good going."
The preparations for the Derby' Day have been
completed on the usual extensive scale. The Grand
Sand has been thoroughly cleaned and renovated,
and, should the weather be fine, this English car-
nival will be marked by its wonted gay and excit-
ing incidents. The field will not perhaps number
more than 20 runners, but the changes in the bet-
ting and the open charac'er of the race contribute
to sustain the curiosity of those persons who have
only made a venture in a private " sweep," whilst
they heighten the expectation and deepen the in-
terest with which legitimate turfitea regard the
event.

Although no such sudden demonstration wal
made as that which last year brought Tournament
to the foremost place in the betting, yet the ad-
vance of Toxopholitqand the retrogression of Fitz-
Roland were movements of no less importance.
Lord Derby's horse w4s made the decided favour ite,
and was most spiritedly supported., A "shade of
odds" over 4 to 1 would have been eagerly 'booked
about him. The success of Zuyder Zee caused his
stable companion, E ist Langton, to rise to 15 to 1,
taken freely. The other changes do not require
comment. We have given at the end of our report
the latest quotations on the course.
The Woodcote Stakes was the only event of pro-
spective importance decided to-day. The other
races merely excites a transient interest.
