LA TEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)

SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR
NAPOLEON.
PARIS, MAY 7.
Yesterday the Mayor of Auxerre presented an
address to the Emperor Napoleon, to which his
Majesty replied as follows:
<< I see with pleasure that the memory of the first
Empire has not been effaced from your minds.
Believe me, for my part, I have inherited the feel-
ings entertained by the chief of my family for this
energetic and patriotic population who sustained
the Emperor in good as in evil fortune.
" I have a debt of gratitude to discharge towards
Yonne. This department was the first to give me
its suffrages in 1848, because it knew, with the
majority of the French people, that its interests
were my interests, and that I detested equally with
them those treaties of 1815 which it is now sought
to make the sole basis of our foreign policy. I
thank you for the sentiments you have expressed
towards me.
" Among you I breathe freely, for it is among the
working population both in town and country that
I find the real genius of France."

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn).
IN RE NORRIS, THE LATE M.P. FOR ABINGDON.
This bankrupt, who was formerly M.P. for Abingdon
and a Common Councilman for Aldersgate Ward, was de-
scribed as a printer of Aldersgate, and to-day he came up
to pass his last examination and for the order of discharge.
The assets show a total indebtedness of £74,262, of whiCh
£30,998 is due to creditors unsecured, and £42,671 to
creditors secured. The assets consist of good debtor
£9,952, doubtful £2,981, property £9,782, property held
by creditors £35,413, and deficiency £16,127. Tho ex-
penditure of the bankrupt for his wife and family has
been at the rate of £1,250 per annum. Amongst the
creditors holding security are Mr. Alderman Bosley for
£3,000.

Mr. Linklater, for the assignee, said he was quite satisfied
with the accounts, and had no objection to the bankrupt's

passing.

Mr. Beswick, on behalf of two apprentices, asked Mr.
Norris as to the indentures, and the bankrupt said that
the boys were bound in his establishment, but the
premium went to the foreman of the department in which
the boys were apprenticed.
Mr. Beswick said it was a very bad case.

Mr. Linklater remarked that there was no hardship in
the case, as the boys were transferred to Mr. Norris, jun.,
and were now being taught their trade.
His Honour then granted the order of discharge.
A good dividend is expected.
