af'.,erno n a n3eering of the me 1111a.n, of the Libe-
ral Re4tatration Assoc,ation of the flty of L3edon was
held at the Lontivn Tavein, Bislcp,gat -street, to con-
.:idtr the state of tb represeia,,tn&H •,t the ()ay ot Lon-
don, in reference to t'ne tinpenditig election, Tne meet-
ing was called by advettl emet,t in the llewSpspr'. and
describ,d as a " gen, rr.l meeting of the members or the
Association," stating the ctj ct for wi.iott it was h.l-1,
and conveying an tuipressio,i that the reprisentitives of
the organs of pubic opinion (.6 is usual in these cases)
would lie adinitled. On attending at the hppoint(-.1 hour
we were informed by the secretary Chet the "associa-
ti.ti " bad determined on ho ding a prv,ite and emir.
dentiai meeting, and that conseque rep.,rters could
not be admitted, at the same r-i,::;to;ng a c rceltr

notice. -•1 the mse• 'lig (c,nuclie I i . .tefina
that of the advertisemen ), in fw,p,:rt l f his as erlon,
that it way a private ineetin;z, viz.—" That a special
meeting of the General and Parliamentary Ginimitteen
of the Association will be la:lien," &c. Much
disapprobation was expressed by many of the members
at such a course of proceeding, as being likely to give it
the character of a "hole-and-corner" meeting, rather
than one caled, as it wag understood, for the purtsai
of allowing the members of the association to give
pression to their feelings with reference to the conduct
of the present members for the City on recent
events, and also an expression of approval of
Lord Palmerston's pt licy. An idea was generally pre-.
valent that this illiberal proceeding of the association
bad been adopted out of deference to the feelings of a
few influential members who are firm supporters of Lord
John Russell, and who wish to stifle, if possible, tin
expression of indignation entertained against him for his
recent conduct by the great majority of the subscribers.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN BE BAINBRIDGE AND LEELL.

These bankrupts were described as of Southwark-bridge-
road, boos and shoe nianufa.:turers, and to-day was ap•
pointed for their last examination.
The case has been before the court for a considerable
time, and was at length adjourned sine die without pro-
tection, as the bankrupts hrod been.unsble to file a balance-
sheet. _ _ _ _

The bankrupt Bainbridge left England shortly before
the proceedings in bankruptcy, and, it was alleged, had
taken with him a considerable sum of money in contem-.
plation of bankruptcy, but he returned, and denied the
allegation, or that he had contemplated bankruptcy, and
had only taken a small sum, and had left Leell to
wind up the business. The statements of the two bank-
rupts were very conflicting as to the state of affairs, and
some of the books had bean lost. Mr. Pettis, of Rising-
hall-street, was then called in, and made oat a general.
statement, which to a great extent reconciled the ditcre-
pancies, and accounted for the supposed deficiency. • !`
Mr. A. Turner, for the assignees, was still dissatisfied
with the statement, and the bankrupts underwent a fur-
ther rigid examination.
The bankrupts were supported by Mr. Bayley, instructed
by Mr. Warrand, Basirghell-street.
The case was proceeding when our reporter left, and will
most likely end in a further adjournment, as no formal
balance-sheet has been filed.
