LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 18.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)

IN THE BANKRPTCY OF LAKEMAN AND RUMIGNY.

This case has been reputedly before the Court.
The bankrupts carried on the business of commission
agents in St. Mildred's-court. Rumigny had been
aide-de-camp to the late King of the French. Upon
this, as well as any former meeting, affidavits were
produced setting forth that Rumigny was unable to
attend in consequence of the refusal of the French
Prefect of Police to grant him a passport, for which
the General alleges he has often applied. It was ru-
moured, but the rumour was not traced to any au-
thentic source, that the bankrupt firm was established
at the instance of Louis Philippe after his abdication,
for political purposes. Mr. Lucas said the firm was
set up at the instance of Mr. Lekeman, a statement
which was positively denied by Mr. Lawrance on
Lakeinan's behalf, Mr. Lawrance declaring that
Rumigny was the originator of the concern ; that,
having got into difficulties, he left his partner to deal
with them, and that the General's avowal that he was
unable to obtain a passport was a mere " sham," and
an attempt to evade the process of that Court.
The COMMISSIONER remarked that no gronnd had
been shown why the French Government refused to
grant Rumigny a passport, and that the production
of the letters of the Prefect of Police did not appear
to be sufficient to excuse or explain the bankrupt's
absence.

Mr. FONBLANQUE, on the part of the assignees,
asked an adjournment fur a month, in-order to inves-
tigate the balance-sheet, which application was
granted by the Court.
The main items of the joint balance-sheet (pre-
pared by Mr. Hutton) are house and creditors, 2,424/. ;
secured ditto, 535/. ; liabilities, 7491. The assets are
said to consist of good debts, 22/. ; doubtful, 4,9401.,
and property, 2,2201. The profits are set down at
7,786/.; the losses at 274/. ; the trade expenses at
1,3671.; and the law expenses at 274/.

(SIT,*ITO aUlt.

LONDON, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1850,

Accounts from Hindostan contain the mention of
another mutiny among the soldiers of the Nue*.
The announcement of this new embarrassment to that
unfortunate Sovereign, while reminding us of his
questionable position in reference to the supreme
authorities at Calcutta, elucidates to our comprehen-
sion only the more clearly and the more explicitly
the cause of his great financial involvement. His
treasury has naturally, or we should rather say, ine-
vitably, suffered from the preposterous system so long
practised in the dominions of the Dekkan—the custom
of supporting an enormous army for no earthly rea-
son whatever, an army, the maintenance of which has
exceeded the capabilities of the resources of the
country, and are consequently on that very account
perpetually ripe for rebellion. The folly of this
egregious act of military extravagance on the part
of the Nizax becomes only the more apparent when
it is considered that while his superfluous troops are
continually in arrears as to their pay, the large dis-
bursements requisite for the bplstering up of this
profligate system of administration precludes the
ruler of the Dekkan from transmitting to the Com-
pany the periodical instalments of the contingent. For
the sake, therefore, of upholding a vast and unwieldy
body of soldiers; this mistaken or ill-advised Monarch
has been simultaneou sly undermining his interests
'n two directions Ole- has been giving a handle to
the two-edged sword of intrigue and insurrection,
while his annual defalcations have been leading more
and more directly to his estrangement from the
8.-itislit•lndian Government.
A merely superficial glance at the history of the
Asiatic peninsula during the last half-century will be
sufficient to demonstrate beyond all contradiction the
justice of our claims upon the Nine( of the Dekkan
and tae shamelessnels of his repeated evasions of the
contingent. About the close of the last, or the com-
mencement of the present, century, the ruler
of those immense and fruitful dominions col-

lectively designated the D ekkan recognised the
absJlute and imperative necessity of supporting his
state (by some judicious alliance) against the incur-
sions ortWMora:, powerful and predatory hordes of
HAndostan. Against the formidable strength of the
Mahrattas especially it was ease ntial that some such
bulwasic, should be erected. To that end a treaty
was formally entered into with the Company's Go.

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
♦natomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to aqualifie&physi-
clan for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that those complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

Presidency of the Union for eventual assistance in the
case of prolongation of anarchy. A body of executive
t'oops rcarehed from Gotha to Coburg on the 7th, and
Union troops are also expected."
A letter from Hanover of the 14th states that the
Ministry Stilve had resigned in a body, and that

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The following is the short order of the day issued
by General KROGH to his army, relative to the defence
of Friedrichstadt

" Schleswig, Oct. 7.
The enemy made several desperate efforts, prepared
and supported by a quantity of heavy artillery, to carry
and possess himself of, and drive us from our works at,
Friederichstadt.
" The garrison under the command of their brave
commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Helgeson, honourably
repulsed their attacks. The endurance, contempt of
death, and the true soldier spirit which was manifested
during the fiercest moments of the assault, deserve to be
held up as a brilliant example.
" The army and its General thank their bravo com-
rades, the defenders of Friedrichstadt.
(Signed) " KROGH."
The town of Friedrichstadt is completely destroyed,
there is not a single inhabitant in it.
The Borsenhalle says that Prussia has addressed a
note to Russia, England, and Austria, relative to the
arrangement between those powers to interfere, by
force if necessary, to put a stop to the hostilities of
Denmark and the Duchies. In this note Prussia
takes her stand on the protest she made against the
protocol of London, and repudiates foreign interfer-
ence in a question purely German, as well as on the
question of the succession of the Duchies, which, she
states, would be contrary to the rights of Germany.

A MIRACLE IN FAA:' CE.
A LIVING BEAR DESTROYED BY A DEAD

SAINT.

The priesthood of France are determined not to
be behind the rest of the world in miracles; but the
manner by which they seek to increase the num-
ber of the faithful is more interesting and ro- '
mantic than the winking virgins of more clumsy
contrivers. They are assiduously promulgating
a story of the destruction of a monstrously big
Bruin by the ghost of St. Bruno. A huge and fero-
cious bear has long spread terror amongst the pea-
santry of the Chartreuse D?sert, and devastation
amongst their cattle. When the snows appeared last
month, the brute became particularly impudent.
One night the child of a woodman belonging to the
monastery of S. Bruno was taken ill. The father'
set out in the dead of the night to the monastery,
and obtained from one of the fathers a
bottle of medicine, with which, after a hasty
prayer to the Virgin for the safety of his darling, he
returned towards his hut in the mi ist of a raging
tempest. Ho cared little for the storm, however, but
be terribly feared the ferocious bear. He had to cross
a ravine over the trunk of a tree, and just as he had
reached the middle of the narrow bridge, on which it
was impossible to turn, he saw the big bear with gnash-
ing teeth awaiting his arrival. The torrent roared be-
low, and the poor man expected nothing 'but instant
death. In his extremity he prayed to St. Bruno; a light
appeared, the saint stood beside the bear, handed the
poor man safely across, at the same time d*shing the
bear into the ravine, where its body was found next
morning. The child recovered, and the woodman
related the miracle to the fathers, and returned thanks
for his preservation. The skin of the bear is exhibited
in Paris, and sermons have been preached on the
wondrous event.

MIDLAND AND SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE.
On Monday the directors of both these lines visited Grimsby,
to examine the progress of these important works, and from
thence to New Holland, to view the accommodation for
traffic at this point, with a view, we were given to under-
stand, of immediately arranging together to work traffic
from the North-Western and Midland to Dull, via
the
Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, in preference to the Hull
and Selby and York and North Midland, which will be a
considerable acquisition to the Lincolnshire line, and no
doubt raise it much in value in the railway Market.—Hull

GERMANY.

A letter from Stuttgardt of the 13,h, in the Post
Ampt Gazette, says :—" We have received from a
source on which we can rely, the important news
that an arrangement between the two great Powers
of G2rmany, on the German question, will be
soon come to ; and that in order to extricate Elec-
toral Hesse from the complicated situation in which
she is placed, it has been agreed upon that M.
de Ilassenpflug shall be dismissed, but that he
shall provisionally remain Minister of the Diet
of Frankfort until the moment when Prussia shall
take part with all the Union. If, notwithstanding
the withdrawal of M. de Hassenpflug, an interven-
tion in Hesse be necessary to re-establish the autho-
rity of the Sovereign, it shall take place on the part of
Austria and Prussia. It is also said that Prussia will
withdraw her troops from Southern Germany, with
`he exception of a small garrison at Rastadt, and a
small body in the principality of Sigmaringen. The
publication of the conferences at Bregentz, it is ex-
pected, will take place very shortly."
Accounts from Cassel of the 13th say—" An order
of the day has been addressed by Lieutenant-General
Ilaynau to all the colonels of regiments, giving to
each officer an indeterminate delay to reflect on the
gravity of their conduct. General Haynau expresses
hope that the officers will address themselves to
him, either verbally or by writing, to remove any
doubts they may have relative to the Constitution.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 18.
(lkfore Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)

IN THE DANKRPTCY OF LAKEMAN AND RUMIGNY.

This case has been repeatedly before the Court.
The bankrupts carried on the business of commission
agents in St. Mildred's-court. Rumigny had been
aide-de• camp to the late King of the French. Upon
this, as well as any former meeting, affidavits were
produced setting forth that Rumigny was unable to
attend in consequence of the refusal of the French
Prefect of Police to grant him a passport, for which
the General alleges he has often applied. It was ru-
moured, but the rumour was not traced to any au•
thentic source, that the bankrupt firm was established
at the instance of Louis Philippe after his abdication,
for political purposes. Mr. Lucas said the firm was
set up at the instance of Mr. Lakemen, a statement
which was positively denied by Mr. Lawrance on
Lakeman's behalf, Mr. Lawrance declaring that
Rumigny was the originator of the concern ; that,
having got into difficulties, he left his partner to deal
with them, and that the General's avowal that he was
unable to obtain a passport was a mere " sham," and
an attempt to evade the process of that Court.
The COMMISSIONER remarked that no gronnd had
been shown why the French Government refused to
grant Rumigny a passport, and that the production
of the letters of the Prefect of Police did not appear
to be sufficient to excuse or explain the bankrupt's
absence.

Mr. FONBLANQUE, on the part of the assignees,
asked an adjournment for a month, in order to inves-
tigate the balance•sheet, which application was
granted by the Court.
The main items of the joint balance-sheet (pre-
pared by Alr. Hutton) are house and creditors, 2,424/. ;
secured ditto, 5351. ; liabilities, 7491. The assets are
said to consist of good debts, 221. ; doubtful, 4,9401.,
and property, 2,2201. The profits are set down at
7,7861.; the losses at 2741.; the trade expenses at
1,367/.; and the law expenses at 2741.

EGYPT.

The Paris Journal des 'Mats has the following on
the affairs of Egypt :—" The last news which we re-
ceive from Egypt speak at great length of certain
changes which had lately taken place in the personnel
of the high functionaries of that country. We find
in some letters bitter complaints against the adminis-
tration of the Viceroy ; while others, on the contrary,
contain nothing but a string of eulogiums, par-
ticularly induced by the discharge of Artem
Bay, formerly Minister of Commerce and Foreign
Affairs. The motives of,this dismissal are, we are as-
sured, very serious, and the gravest charges of mal-
versation of the public money weigh against him.
In the absence of precise information, we give the
following without comment. Numerous reforms
were attempted after the death of Ibrahim Pacha
by his successor, Abbas Pacha, the present Vice-
roy, in order to alleviate the miseries and burdens
of the persons engaged in agriculture, and to
render articles of life cheaper. The personal
tax was diminished by six millions of francs,
and the duty on land, meat, and various articles of
primary necessity has been sensibly reduced. These
innovations naturally led to some changes in the per-
sonnel of the functionaries, and hence arose numerous
complaints from private interests at the expense of the
general interests of the country. The views of the
Pacha ware latterly completely thwarted by the system
followed by Artim Bey, the Minister of Commerce and
Foriegn Affairs. This system, in contempt of the trea-
t ies of commerce with foreign powers, tended to re-esta-
blish, for the benefit of some, the old monopoly which
had been abolished for the benefit of all ; the auctions
of the produce of the land belonging to the State, the
adjudications of the works to be executed, and of sup-
plies of all kinds ceased to he free; it was a blow aimed
at the entire commerce of Alexandria and of Cairo. The
department of commerce was taken from Artim Bey ;
but the Pacha, in consequence perhaps of the support
giren to his Minister by the Sublime Porte, wished
him to retain that of Foreign Affairs. Artim Bey,
who was then at Alexandria, was informed of this
decision, and at the same time was requested to
come to Cairo to see the Pacha. A few days
after it was announced at Alexandria that Artim
Bey could not proceed to Cairo to the Viceroy,
in consequence of indisposition, but immediately
after he suddenly embarked on board a French
packet boat for Constantinople, whence, it is said, he
proceeded to Beyrout. What is the meaning of
this flight ? Will it give strength to the accusations
brought against Artim Bey ? Our next letters will
doubtless inform us. The nomination of the new
Ministers is already known; Stephen Bey, formerly
director of the Egyptian School at Paris, is appointed
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Edden Pacha
Minister of Commerce. Both of them have resided
a long time in Europe, particularly in France and
England.

ARGILL-ROOMS.—This popular salon de danse bee I
again opened its doors for the season, having been closed for
a few days, to be entirely Te-decorated. Last night the ex-
citement in the neighbourhood consequent on its re- opening,
was intense, some four or five hundred persons waiting
around the doors to see the company enter. The c pup (rail,
on entering the ball-room, is beyond description, so elegantly
and so tastefully is the salon arranged. The decorations
are pearl white, emerald green, gold and tins, crimson.
The whole of the embellishments were pronounce d to be, by
all present, sansfaute. The addition of a third magnificent
chandelier is a beautiful improvement. The rooms were
crowded.

RUSSIA.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger says that the Russian
Government has distributed a circular among the ar-
tisans of Vienna and Prague, stating that there is
employ for 300 carpenters and joiners in the south of
Rus'sia. Every workman who shall present himself
shall receive a gratuity of 15 florins, independently of
the expenses of his journey. _ _ _

The health of the Empress of RUSSIA. is so impaired
that she will be compelled to pass the winter in the
south of Europe.

MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA.

The Turkish Government has made energetic
demands on the Russian Cabinet to withdraw the
nusaian troops from the Danubian principalities, or
to declare its intentions ; whereupon Russia, has in-
quired of the Elospodars whether they thought that
tranquillity was sufficiently re-established to allow of
the dispensing with this occupation. Prince GHIKA
hesitated ; hut STRIBBEY, who is under the influ-
ence of Russia, demanded two years for reflection.
Accordingly, bloblavia will remain occupied by 6,000
Russian troops, and Wallachia by 7,000.
