COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and
and Justices Blackbdrn and Slice.)
THE QUEEN V. RUSSELL.

This case has frequently been before the courts of
law. It was an application on the part of Mr.
White, a gentleman lately filling the office of a
clerk of the peace in Kent, for a mandamus calling
upon the magistrates of the county of Kent, to ::how
why they should not re-instate Mr. White in his
office from which he had been wrongfully dismissed.
Mr. Mellish adresied the court in the early part of

the day, and Mr. Charlei Pollock followed. The
arguments will not be (concluded to-day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Murray.)
IN RE LORD GEORGE WILLIAM LOFTUS.

This bankrupt was described as of 10, South-
street, Park-lane, then of Regent's Park, and now
of 31, Edward-street, Portman-square, and to-day
was appointed for the first meeting. From the pre-
liminary statement filed it appeared that the bank-
rupt ascribes his failure to losses on shares, losses on
bills, upon which he says he has received no consi-
deration, and ill health. The total liabilities are
set down at about £9,000, but no account of assets
has yet been filed. Amongst the creditors are Lord
Henry Loftus, Bantry, Ireland, who claims £l,OOO.
Assignees were chosen, and a day named for the
next meeting.

LIVERPOOL COr lON MARKET.
This Day.

The continued falling off in the receipts in the
American ports, with the more peaceable look of
the Luxemburg question, has caused the market to
open at a halfpenny higher than on Saturday, and
the sales will be 20,000 or 25,000 bales.

THE NEW NOVEL " RAYMOND'S HEROINE."
Threo Rsymond's Heroine' (says the Times) is a
clever and vigorous book. This is a book which deserves
to be read, and it will be read. The reader will gallop
through it with breathless interest. It is a book which
will be guilty of causing- cAreful mammas to say to their
daughters -- 'My dear, do put down that book and go to bed.'
It is very smoothly and fluently written throughout. The
scenery of the various incidents is vividly painted ; the
conversations are lively, the plot is carefully and cohe-
rently put together. There is a chapter in the third
volume, called Walter Lee's Dream, where the peculiar
phenomena of that half-sleeping, half-waking, state, which
we call nightmare, are turned to very powerful and
p let uresque account."
