COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Mattel' 29.

(Concluded from The Sun of Yesterday.)
ISIESSRS. CHAMBERS' BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. Mayhew, the solicitor to the commission
said that there could be no doubt of the validity o'
t' e commission. Out of seven trial- that had take,
lace two decisions only had been given against the
commission, and those not upon the facts and
merits of the case, but upon points of law. The
Ailiole of the re-olutions, except one, were, we be-
lieve, unanimously agreed to, Mr. Hamilton some-
Imes excepted.
Mr. Coartenay, the deputy-clerk of Parliament,
was in the chair, and the number of creditors pre-
sent was about .50.
As the creditors entered the room, a statement,
(which we gave yesterday), drawn up, we be-
lieve. by the opponents of the commission, was put
into their hands. Of course we did not give it a-
authentic, but merely as showing the views taken of
the matter in this long-contested commission. In
Ole course of the day it was mentioned that the
Northaw estate lad been sold by unction for 2,800/.
and this bef.are any objection was made to the
Die sum given for it by Mr. Chambers was under
1,0001. If this be taken as a specimen of the ac-
curacy of the statement, the credits would certainly
appear to be much exaggerated, but we give it as
we find it.

rig was strapped round his body ; his stick lay near
he body.
John Ormond had seen the prisoner for the la:t
=ix months about the cabin. He Rub:i.teil on the
,harity of the collier., and whatever the gentlemen
.1' the country gave him. He saw the body of the
•ecea:ed. The right-hand glove was tightly
clinched in the left hand. He assisted in taking
away the body, and went in search of the prisoner.
He found him at about nine o'clock in the morning
at Abbeyvale. As soon as he came sip to him he
gave him a blow, which he (witness) returned. He
took prisoner in a chiti:e to Nantygld. He was
brought into the room where the body was. Wit-
ness asked prisoner did he know the deceased, and
if he had killed him. Prisoner answered both
questions in the affirmative. Witness asked him
" for what ?" Prisoner replied that the p.istman
had come into the cabin and said bwrrw gwilan, an
expression which means it rains hard, and that the
postman lighted his pipe of tobacco, and he (the pri-
soner) a-ked him for half a pipe of tobacco, and the
postman, instead of giving him any, struck him on
he head, and he (prisoner) then stiuck the postman
with the-iron bar. He asked him did the deceased
cry our. Prisoner said that he only moved hi: head.
Several witnesses came forward, and deposed to
the insanity of the prisoner.

the Learned JUDGE sentenced him to transportation
for life.

There are 11,755,525 !ling and 4,282,000 Even.
ing Papers putdisi,ed every year in London, making a tot,.
of 16.040.525. The daily publications, therefore, amouni
to 4:3 947 per diem. This heirs a very ,mill proporrio
to a population of 24,000,000 of people, and when we r• •
fl-ct that in every part of the United Kingdom one o•
more of the Papers are to be mei with, and that a great
number are dispatched to our Gdonirs, as well as to rh,
Continent and Vie Unit, d States it is difficult to conceis
that the numbers printed could be so ',mill. The tax.-
p,i'd to Governmeir upon the Press of London alone ex
seeds the revenue of one-half at the petty states of Get•
mane, Swi-zerland, and the north of Italy, and it is ego,'
to the whole capital and property of kingd.,ms for whirl
Eogland has gone to war and sacrificed her millions
Although the taxes paid by the Press of Lord 'n is greatei
than the revenues of so many stares upon the Continent
it is not lia:f sufficient to pay the pensions and s'necure•
of the British Government, nor does it amount to on,
tithe of the j..bs, direct and indirect, which the last Tor)
Administration has entailed upon our people.
