BIRMINGHAM BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Ccmmisdoner Balguy.)
WALTER PALMER'S LIFE POLICY OF 12,0001.
Me. John Smith made an application to the
court in reference to this matter. It will be re-
membered that during the investigation of the cir-
cumstances attsncling the death of Walter Palmer,
who3e life had been insured by his brother William
in the Prince of Wales Office for 12,0001., it ap-
peared that the deceased had at one time been
bankrupt. 0,1 this circumstance the present appli-
cation was founded. Mr. Smith stated that Wal-
ter Palmer was bankrupt in 1849, and in the same
year obtained his certifiqa•e. In 1855 he assured
his life for 12,0001. The policy of assurance be as
signed to his brother William, without William
having any interest in his life, which being con-
trary to the policy of the law, rendered the assign-
ment void. Mr. George Palmer had administered
to Walter Palmer's estate, and now claimed the
12,000/. ; but the assignees under the bankruptcy
also claimed P.. They did so on the grJund that
inasmuch as the assignment to William was fraudu-
lent Lnd void, the 12,0001. would properly belong
to Walter Palmer's i stat 3 ; and Walter Palmer
being deal, their claim nmw seated on the fact that
within the last month they had discovered that he
lost something like 1,2001. in gambling during the
period when he was a trader, the consequence of
which would be that under the 201st section of the
ac-, his certificate was absolutely void. The certi-
ficate being void, Walter .Palmer's estate would
become vested in his trustees, and on their bebalf
he (Mr. Smith) now asked the leave of the court to
bring an action for the recovery of the 12,0001.
After some conversation, the matter was deferred.

ELECTION OF SPEAKER

Lord H. VANE, in proposing a suceossor tc
Mr. Shaw Lefovre, highly eulogised the con-
duct of that gentleman in the chair, whici
ho said it would be difficult for any ono tc
equal, and impossible to exceed. (Cheers.) Hi
thought, however, they had a member of that
house (Mr. E. Denison) who possessed all the re
quisite qualifications for the discharge of the clutie,
of the office—(cheers)—and he had much pleasurt
in proposing him to fill the office of Speaker of tilt
House of Commons. (Cheers.) He entertainer
a sure conviction that the house would ratify thai
proposition, and that experience would show tht
wisdom of the choice. (Cheers.)
Mr. THORNLEY seconded the motion. Mr.
E. Denison first entered parliament thirt3
years ago, and having watched his parliamentary
career, he (Mr. Thornley) had much plea-
sure in seconding the motion from the belief
that he possessed all the requisite qualifications for,
a Speaker of that house. He referred to the inH
crease of private and public business of late years
and referred to the numerous improvements
that had been lately made in the forms and proceed-
ings of the house, and expressed a hope that under
the Speakership of Mr. E. Denison, should ho be
elected, the duration of members' speeches would
be shortened. (Cheers.)

THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT LUND•

HILL.

LIINDHILL, WEDNESDAY.

At an early hour on Tuesday morning the men,
while at work close to the bottom of the cupola, or
upcast shaft, where the fire had raged so fearfully,
found a body, aud, as might be expected„ from
the exposed situation in which it was placed, it
was in a dreadfully burnt and mutilated state, and
there being not the most remote chance of its being
identified, it was buriei on Tuesday aft ,rnoon in
Darfeld Churchyard. Two other bodies were found
during Tuesday, one of them that of a boy, who it
was thought might possibly be recognised, as it
was not so decomposed and burnt as the others. At
eight o'cl.ck this morning the party at work in the
south level Navin; penetrated nearly to its ex-
tremity, about 50() yards, met with the body of a
stout man, which was more perfect and in a better
state of preservation than those hitherto brought
out. It was thought that he was one of the family
I of Kellett, of which seven members were in the
pit at the time it was closed. Up to three o'clock
this aftrrnoon, however, none of the bodies had
been identified, and two of them are to be interred
this evening,- and, not having been identified, of
course without being viewed by the coroner and
jury. The coroner has given directions to Mr.
Superintendent Green, of Barnsley, that whenever
one, two cr more bodies shaq be recovered which
can be clearly and distinctly identified notice shall
at once be given to him (the coroner) to that effect,
that the jury may be summoned to view them ;
but, with regard to the remainder of the bodies,
the coroner has given directions that they shall be
interred without needless delay. The jury will
therefore only once more be summoned to view a
I few of the bodies, and all the rest will be interred
as they are recovered with all convenient despatch,
wheth',T they can be identified or not.
In the north levels, where the roof has given
way so much, and in the workings leading from
which a considerable number of men were em-
ployed, great ex.,:iltious aro being ,lnade L clear
va }ll9 vast acen ululation of fe.llota wittEe•ials
When this has been .accomplished, as it !-,11e:71.1y will
be, an exploration of the workings will be made,
and the recovery of the bodies will proceed with
' greater rapidity,

Clerk of the Hose of Commons, and a large body
of the new Memoers.

The Chef Clerk of the House of Lords then read
the Royal Commission for the opening of Parlia-
ment ; after which

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the name of her Ma.'
ebty and by virtue of the Commission which had

MR. WILLERT BEXLE begs to announce
that he has entered into an arrangement
with Mr. W. H. RUSSELL, the Special Correspondent of
the " Times" with the British Army in the Crimea, for the
delivery of a PERSONAL NARRATIVE of the GREAT
CAMPAIGN of 1854-55-56. The scenes and operations of
which Mr. Russell was a spectator comprise every event of
importance, from the departure of the army to the evacuation
of the Crimea, including—The Battle of Alma, the Bombard- •
ment, the Battle of Balaclava, the Battle of lukerman, the -
Winter Sorties, the Trenches, Death in the Camp, the Expe-
dition to Kertch, the Assault of the 15th of June, the Battle
of the Tcliernaya, the Final Assault, and the Fall of Sebasto-
pol.
Amid the scenes of daily excitement in which he was placed,
obliged, as the correspondent of a great public journal, to
record at the instant Ilia impressions of the snore momentous
events around him, Mr. Russell was compelled to leave un-
noticed many circumstances which appeared of insignificance
when they occurred, but which subsequent experience showed
to be of great interest. He had no time to describe the little
world in which he lived, or the actors who moved in it ; but
be has now the oppo tunity of recalling more minutely the
particulars of all he saw and heard, to sketch as it were the
private life and interior economy of the ann.:es, and of the
camp, and to enter upon the description of subjects which,
during the war, it would have hem injudicious :ma impolitic
to have communicated to the world.
The Narrative will consi,t of Three distinct Parts, and will
be delivered at WILLIS'S ROOMS on -
Part I. MONDAY EVENING, May 11.
Part 11. THURSDAY EVENING, May 14.
Part 111. SATURDAY EVENING, May Id.
To commence at Half-past Eight o'clock.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Chamber is hurrying on the business
before it, in order to get finished before the c!ose of
the session, which will take place in three weeks.
The committees of the Upper House have csincluded
in favour of the adoption of the bills relative to
the railways in the eastern provinces which are to
jonthe Russian lines, and for the interdiction of
f reign bank-notes. The Chamber of Deputies
has just adopted art 1 of the bill on patentes, or
licenses to trade, which •is the essential part of
the measure. This change in the law will open
fresh sources-of revenue to the treasury, and is also
a very neeessay amelioration on the former law on
the subject.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette,
says :—" The Emperor and Empress, in their ap
proaching journey to Hungary, will only b 3 accom-
panied by two Ministers, Baron de Kentpen and
Baron de Bach, who will remain with 'their Majes-
ties during the whole duration of their visit. The
other Ministers will remain in the capital. Count
de Jellachich, Ban of Croatia, had a long inter-
view of the Emperor yesterday."
Another letter from Vienna, in the Weser Ga-
-1 zette, proves that the telegraphic despatch given in
a London journal of the departure of the Sardinian
Minister at the Austrian Court was erroneous. The
Marquis de Cantono, although he has broken off all
official relations, will remain here for the rest of the
spring. Probably before the period for his depar-
ture arrives some arrangement may be come to. A
despatch from General Martini, the Austrian am-
bassador at Naples, confirms the statement that
the court of the Two Sicilies is more and more dis-
posed to make advances towards the re-establish-
ment of diplomatic relations with the western
powers. The construction of the building for the
Industrial Exhibition of 1859 is to be commenced
in a few days. It will be situated near the
Schwartzenberg Garden.

MR. WOODIA'S OLIO OF ODDITIE.

We extract the following genial tribute of admi-
ration from the columns of our contemporary the
Morning Chronicle :
A great advantage cf an entertainment like Mr.
Woodin's is the facility which it affords for the introduc-
tion of new waiter. Made up of shreds and patches,
the " Olio of Oddities" can readily be refitted with a
ipiece l

graphic Hall, and always find something new in addi-
tion to those standing features of the monopolylogue,
which are too unique and wonderful ever to grow stale.
Among the recent additions, the imitation of
Manuel Perez, the Spanish dancer, as the " Doctor in
Love," is singularly grotesque. In this character
the expression is entirely choreographic. You see
before you a Spanish doctor, not M.D., but D.D.,
dressed in a black suit of tights, with clerical bands, and
a coat whose long mallow tails fly in the wind behind
the clerical person in a most ridiculous manner. You
are to imagine the Doctor deprived of every other means
of expressing the love which fires his heart, and de•
ranges his brain, but that of dancing. Accordingly, the
Doctor dances. Such a dance I There is no describing
that dance. The demented seriousness of the Doctor's
face, the demented evolutions of his thin, black legs, and
the perfect devilry which his tails keep up in the rear,
combine to produce a spectacle at once so novel, so gro-
tesque, and so ludicrous, that you can only scream with
laughter.

Herr Formes, as Marcel, is in every respect a won-
derful performance, though it may not be equal to the
personation of Mr. Albert Smith and Mr. Henry Rus-
sell. "make up" for Herr Formes is no slight
achievement, while the adoption of the basso profundo,
and sustaining it throughout the whole of the " Puff-
paff " song, is perhaps the greatest polyphonic feat
which Mr. Woodin has performed. Our old friends, the
Foxhunter, Lady Ever Green, and Miss Chattaway,
are as fresh—especially the Foxhunter—in their respec-
tive ways as ever. The last is perhaps the most finished
performance of the whole entertainment, In the re-
presentation of female characters Mr. Woodin is the only
male personage who has ever approached the natural.
In the early days of the monopolylogue the women were
all coarse and elderly ; the scold and the fish-fag
were the favourite types. Mr. Woodin, however, has
attempted the fashionable and beautiful young lady of
the drawing-room, who plays and sings, and his Miss
Chattaway shows how marvelously he has succeeded.
Those Punch•like figures which pop up behind the flap
of the table are as startling and incomprehensible as
when they first began their strange mercurial career
The instant change of expression and costume, all so
marked and decided, never cease to draw upon our won-
derment. Does Mr. Woodin do it, or does he keep
some dozens of indiarubber figures under his table ready
dre3sed ? You might imagine this but for the fact that
india-rubber figures have not yet been endowed with the
powers of speech and action.

MONTENEGRO.

The Austrian, Gazette of the 4th contains the fol
lowing observations on the present state of Mon
tenegro

" The importance of Montenegro, which is not incon-
siderable, results from her geographical position. Her
mountains form a line of fortresses which constantly
menace the Turkish provinces of Bosnia and Albania.
In the event of a war, the Montenegrin nation, though
counting not more than 150,000 souls, could furnish
40,000 fighting men, which might prove dangerous to
Turkey. An opportunity now presents itself to diplo-
matists who oppose Russian influence in the East for
reconciling Montenegro with Turkey. It is certain
that a great many of the acts of brigandage of the
Montenegrins proceed from a war.t of sufficient food,
as the agricultural capacities of the country are,
from its mountainous character, unequal to the
wants of the population. Prince Danilo wishes to
make peace with Turkey, and he begs the Euro-
pean Cabinets to act as intermediaries. The Prince does
not appear to aim too high. Let a portion of territory
capable of cultivation, sufficient to maintain the people,
be accorded to the Prince of Montenegro. Turkey does
not lack adjacent territories, for the most part unculti-
vated, and which are constantly being ravaged by these
inconvenient neighbours. On that condition, the Prince
of Montenegro appears disposed to recognise the suze-
rainty of the Porte for the territory conceded. Let
well-defined limits be determined, and let any incursion
into foreign territory be rigorously punished.l It may be
objected that to aggrandise Montenegro would weaken
Turkey. As for ourselves, we do not see the prejudice
which the cession of some square leagues of territory to
a vassal could'cause to Turkey ; we believe, indeed, that
she would rather gain in having the Montenegrins be-
come more peaceable and civilised."

TIAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Buckstone, the highly-respected lessee of the Hay-
market Theatre, re-opens his popular establishment on

pricebe sof admission. Th uoxes 5a., are to for the future 3A. ;o

We sincerely hope that this liberal concession to the
phaygoing public may be duly appreciated ; that in-
crease of patronage will follow decrease of price ; and
that the new arrangement, whilst it reflects great credit
upon Mr. Euckstone's spirit as a public man, may also
prove remunerative in a pecuniary point of view.
