THE EXTRAVAGANCE OT WALTER

WATTS.

But £2OO a year would not pay for young Watts'
gloves and cigars, much less his town house and
his country house, his carriages and horses, his
opera box, his banquets, and his hundred other
sources of expenditure, to say nothing of his thea-
trical speculation. He was a young man of great
discernment, quick apprehension, and not over
burdened with moral principle. He found, in the
conduct of the financial affairs of the Globe Assurance

Company, -----------------------------
an inexcusably lax system, which his in-
genious mind saw might be made conducive to his own
pecuniary profit ; and, after some short consideration,
he proceeded to turn it to account. His position gave
him access to the most valuable of the books—the
cheque-books and the banker's books; and, by a
system artfully conducted, he fraudulemtly obtained
funds which, by passing through his own bankers,
lulled suspicion, and was, after all, only through a
comparative accident discovered, though his expen-
sive style of living, and his heavy theatrical en-
gagements which it was well known could only be
conducted at a large sacrifice, should have long
before attracted the notice of the directors, and led

to the proper and necessary investigation. • The
City life of Walter Watts merged more in the
duties of his office, where from ten till four he was
supposed to be following the ordinary routine of
official responsibility. His attendance, though
punctual, involved no heavy labour ; it was mere
check work, which, from the loose system adopted,
resolved itself into no check at all, and consequently
he had the greater time and opportunity to arrange
the preliminaries of those frauds which he subse-
quently followed out with so large a share of tem-
porary success. These he no doubt at first perfected
by a slow and gradual process ; but confidence once
attained by the ease with which he arranged his
malpractices, induced the perpetration of frauds
which, originally commencinc, with hundreds of
pounds, eventually terminated by turning those
hundreds into thousands. His City life over, he
frequented his West-end haunts, and divided his
attention between sporting and other gay amuse-
ments, until he_launched into that adventurous
career as lessee of two theatres, having first adopted
the Marylebone, and after the well-known " neat
little house" in Wych-street.—Facts, Failures, and
Frauds.

other hops is well supported.

- 'BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Full average time-of-year supplies of potatoes have come
to hand since our last report, coastwise and by land Car-
riage, in good condition. The imports have amounted to
20 tons from Calais, 22 do. from Antwerp, and 700 do. from
Ireland. Nearly al kinds are a dull inquiry, as follows :
York Regents, 90s to 105 s ; Lincoln, 70s to 90s ; Essex
to

702; Foreign, 40s to 60s ; Irish, 40s to 60s per ton.

WOOL MARKET.
There is an improved feeling in the demand for most
kinds of English wool, and fine qualities are the turn
dearer. Foreign and colonial qualities move off slowly, but
We have no change to notice in their value. The imports
last week were 2,086 bales from Geelong, 997 from Sydney,
and 67 from Shanghai.

IN RE EDWARD HEWITT.

This bankrupt was described as of Chatham, corn dealer,
and this was a meeting for the last examination.
Mr. Lawrance appeared for the bankrupt, and asked for
an adjournment, as the bankrupt had been in prison, and
Messrs. Hart Brothers had not had time to complete the
balance-sheet.

Mr. Plews opposed for the assignees unless bankrupt
paid the costs.

Mr. Lawrence objected to this. Assignees had even
taken the excepted articles to which bankrupt was entitled
His Honour granted the adjournment.
IN RE PELLET.

This bankrupt was described as of Woolwich, carrier,
and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. No ac-
counts were put in but assignees were chosen.
Mr. Buchanan appeared for the petitioning creditor, and
was appointed by the assignees.

SIR ISAAC L. GOLDSMID, BART., AND ANOTHER V.
CAZENOVE et al.

This is an appeal from a decision of Mr. Commissioner
Perry, of Liverpool, rejecting a double proof of debt on the
bankrupt estate of a Liverpool firm, carrying on business in
Brazil and Liverpool. The Lords Justices reversed the
decision of the Commissioner, and allowed a double proof
on both estates. The appellant appealed against this deci-

sion.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
THE METROPOLITAN SALOON OMNIBUS COMPANY-AP•

FOINTALENT OF OFFICIAL LIQUIDATOR.

This was a meeting for the appointment of an officia

liquidator under an order of this Court for winding up the
affairs of the above company. The facts of the case have
been very fully published, and although a long discussion
ensued no new fact was elicittd, and Mr. George Wm.
Jones, news agent, of Finch-lane and Hammersmith, the
holder of 456 shares, was nominated by 93 shareholders
representing about 7,000 shares—and there was no counter
nomination.

Mr. Lloyd Jones, a shareholder, submitted that an ad-
journment ought to take place, as he insisted that no proper
accounts had been submitted to the creditors for two years
past.

Mr. Vining, for the directors, denied this, and said ac-
counts had been made up to February, HA and that sub-
sequently it had been agreed that no further accounts
should be made out pending an arbitration between the
Saloon Company and M‘Namara's Company.
After a desultory discussion, Mr Lloyd Jones not being
prepared to make any nomination,
His Honour appointed Mr. George William Jones as the
J liquidator,

It was stated in the course- of the proceedings that the
busineas of the company had been carried on up to the
present time, but a meeting would be held this afternoon
with a view of disposing of the stock.

Between the 7th and Bth the armistice was agreed
to by the principals without intervention, and on
the Bth the news was communicated to Baron von
Schleinitz by the French Minister in Berlin. It
took him of course by surprise, and he instructed
the Prussian Chargé d'Affaires in Paris to ex-
press to Count Walewski his astonishment at the
answer of Prussia on the subject of the armis-
tice not having been waited for. At the same time
he instructed him to state, that after holding a
council, it had been decided not to propose
the armistice, as it did not then seem oppor-
tune. Both propositions were thus originally
French. At Villafranca the Emperor Napoleon
showed Francis Joseph the project in seven points,
giving him to understand that the neutrals were
not averse from adopting it. Then he at once
brought forward the four points proposed, and re-
jected on the 7th at Berlin. They were-
1. Cession of Lombardy.
2. Erection of Venetia into a Duchy.
3. Confederation of Italian States.
4. Restoration of the banished Dukes and an
amnesty.

On the second point the Emperor Napoleon
yieldid to the reasoning of the Emperor of Austria,
that he could not be expected to resign what he
still held possession of. This is a somewhat lengthy
statement, but you may depend upon its being in
every point correct.

THAMES.

CASUAL PAUPERS.—Ann Smith, aged 35, with a child
in her arms, Catherine Dalton, 17, Emma Green, 18, Ellen
Brian, 32, and Ellen Dutton, 19, were brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with tearing up their clothes in the Mile-
end Old Town Workhouse.
Dyer, the porter of the Mile-end Workhouse, said the
prisoners were all admitted into the casual ward as destitute
paupers last night, and they all tore up their clothes di-
rectly afterwards. Dutton committed a similar offence
some time ago.
Catherine Phillips said she had to look after the casual
ward, and that she found all the prisoners in a state of
nudity this morning. Every particle of clothing they
brought with them into the house was destroyed, and they
were supplied with the clothing they were now wearing.
The prisoners all made the same defence. They were
so dirty, uncomfortable, and covered with vermin, that
they could not endure their misery any longer.
Mr. Yardley—This offence has become very common,
and it is not to be tolerated that paupers are to take advan •
tage of the casual wards, where they are sheltered from the
inclemency of the weather, to destroy their clothing, and
put the metropolitan parishes to the expense of new
clothing.
The woman Smith was first questioned by the magis-
trate, and said she belonged to Cambridge. Her husband,
who was employed at Woolwich, died last week. She had
no means of existence, and had two other children in
Cambridge.
Mr. Yardley, who is a Cantab, questioned the woman
particularly about Cambridge, and her answers being satis-
factory, he said she appeared to be a decent woman of
good address, and it was very much to be regretted she
had acted so foolishly. If she had come to him and told
him her tale before she went to the workhouse he would
have given her sufficient to have paid her fare to Cam-
bridge. He would make a slight deviation from the course
usually adopted. He would discharge her, and give her a
shilling to help her on the way to Cambridge.
Dalton said she belonged to Little Minlow, Bucas, and
was travelling from place to place.
Mr. Yardley—You are sentenced to eight days hard
labour. As to you, Dutton, you are an old offender, and
are sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour.
There were some mitigating circumstances in the cases
of Brian and Green, who said they were on the tramp, and
would obtain work if they were discharged.
Mr. Yardley—Go about your business and get your liv-
ing by honest industry.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 11.—The improvement esta-
blished on Tuesday is fully maintained, and a
good business is doing at very full pri-3es. In
domestics a very fair business is reported, and
some large quantities of T-cloths have been taken,
Longcloths are in good demand, so far as the
lighter makes of 36 and 40 inch fabrics are con-
cerned. Buyers have to give very full rates- for
these goods, and prices have a tendency in
favour of sellers. The business in India shirtings
continues good, and some heavy sales have
been made during the week, establishing an
advance of 10. to 3d. per piece on the quotations
of this day week. The demand for 36-inch shirtings
also continues good. Printing-cloths are very low
in stock, and some heavy contracts have been made,
especially in the lighter makes. There is conse-
quently a tendency to higher rates. The demand
for yarns is of a general character, including export
as well as home markets, and stocks being consider-
ably lessened, with numerous contracts for future
delivery, prices are -1-d. and in some some cases id.
per lb. above the rates of last Friday. Cops and
warps are in considerable request. The state of the
cotton trade is rather favourable to the trade, Ame-
rican qualities beginning to come in more fret ly,
while there is a good supply from India on the
way.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FASHIONABLE LADY PICKPOCKETS.—SINGULAR CASE
—Elizabeth Dyson, the wife of the proprieter of the Union
Tavern, Haokney-road, and Jane Gough, described as a
dressmaker, of 95, North-street, Brighton, were placed at
the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged by Charles Cole, 317
A, a detective, with attempting to pick pockets in Oxford-
street.

The prisoners were both stylishly attired, and had each a
gold watch and chain. On Dyson was found £8 10s., on
Gough, £5 Bs. in money; eight threepenny pieces, and
♦arious tickets, a spade guinea, and other articles, being
found on both prisoners. '

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the prisoners.

Charles Cole, 317 A, said that on the previous afternoon
he saw the two prisoners near the Pantheon, in Oxford-
street, and from their pushing against several ladies he was
induced to watch them, when he saw Dyson place herself
in front of a lady ; the other prisoner, who was behind, act-
ing as a cover. He then saw Dyson place her left hand
under the lady's shawl, then withdraw it and leave her.
Dyson then placed herself beside a lady looking in a fur
shop window near the Princess's Theatre, and he saw her
put her hand into the lady's pocket, and follow her into
the shop ; but on inquiring of the lady, he found she had
lost nothing. He then placed himself in a linendraper's
shop, and saw Dyson go up to another lady, and put her
hand into her pocket. He afterwards saw them make at
least a dozen other attempts to pick pockets.
Mr. Lewis cross-examined the officer, and remarked that
he could scarcely believe the officer. _ _

Mr. Bingham said he had long known Cole as a well-
conducted officer, and placed reliance in his statement, and
committed them for three months each, with hard, labour.
The property found on the prisoners remains at the Marl-
borough-street station.
