THIS DAY'S NEW

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
There were about a dozen cases put down for hearing
before Sir Charles F. Williams, but they were all un-
opposed, and therefore uninteresting.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Two precocious varlets, the one thirteen, and the other
fifteen years of age were placed before Mr. Alderman
Farebrother, charged with picking pockets.
Alderman FARIMROTITER addressing the younger
prisoner—Have'nt we met before ? Prisoner—No, I
never was took before.

Alderman FAREBnoTnER—Oh, yes, we did though.
We met in Newgate.
The two juveniles were sent: to where it was sup-
posed they would be better known by the officers.
Sarah Smith, a woman with a child in her arms, was
charged with breaking five squares of glass in the window
of Mr. Butterfield, licensed victualler, Farringdon-street.
The shopman said that the prisoner was in at the bar
yesterday drinking with her husband, and as she was
quarrelsome and fighting he put her outside, when she
broke the windows.

Alderman FAREBROTHER—The husband, having the
money, was kept inside of course. How much did he
drink ?—Only half a pint of beer.
Alderman FAREBROTHER—Oh, more than that. You
ought to have turned the husband out, and the wife
would then have gone away quietly.
The husband was then called in, and after some few
questions and replies, the Alderman discharged the
prisoner.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Ellen Smith, an Irish woman, was brought before Mr.
Hall, charged with creating a disturbance in Stanhope-
street, Clare-market.

The officer who took the prisoner into custody stated
that he saw the prisoner in Stanhope-street the previous
night, screaming and crying out that she was a true
Catholic, and that she would never be a member of the
infernal Bible religion. She also expressed her reverence
for his Holiness the Pope in very energetic terms, de-
claring that he was the father of all the world. She
was quite sober.

In her defence the prisoner said that she had been
married a short time since, and her husband was a Pro-
testant, but she was a Catholic. Her husband wished
her to conform with his religion ; but this, said she, I
will never do—no I would sooner lay my head on the
block than leave the blessed religion.
Mr. HALL—But you must not make a noise in the
street.

Prisoner—l will always support my religion, and I
am ready to lay my head on the block to do so.
Mr. HALL—WeII, if you are brought here again for
making a noise I shall fine you. You may go now.
The prisoner then left the Court protesting that she
would never be an apostate.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Amongst the numerous objects of human infirmity
and wretchedness daily brought before this Court, is one
half-witted looking creature named Renry Wright. He
has only one eye, and there is a ♦acancy of expression in
his countenance, which, though it betokens nothing of
insanity, seems to border on fatuity. This man was one
of the principal witnesses at the trial of the miscreant
Gould, for the murder of Mr. Templeman. He was
then barman in a public-house. During the last few
years he has been repeatedly brought before this Court
for sleeping in omnibuses, out-houses, and shutter-
boxes. The Magistrate has, upon these occasions,
usually sent him to the workhouse, but he remains there
no longer than a few hours, and resumes his former wan-
dering. He has been found lying in the snow during
the night, and if he were not as hardy as a Kanischatkan,
he must long since have perished.

Last night Police-constable Wright, 304 N, found him
sleeping in a slaughter-house, and conveyed him to the
station-house„.

Inspectors Thatcher and Penny said they considered
the prisoner was not right in his mind ; the former
added that he seemed to be almost starving this morning,
and that he gave him some food in the station-house.
The MAGISTRATE directed that he should be subjected
to the examination of the parish surgeon, so that, if he
were of unsound mind, he might be provided for in a
proper manner.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
John Dwyer, a middle-aged man, having the appear-
ance of a groom or coachman, was charged with having
obtained four pair of trousers, a coat, a silk waistcoat,
and two cravats, by false pretences, from the valet of
Captain Williams, of 36, Connaught square. The
prisoner had been employed to remove the furniture of
Captain Williams from Connaught-square to another
house, which he had lately taken. He came to the valet
on Tuesday morning last, and told him that the Captain
had given him the clothes, which were in a drawer
in one of the rooms. The valet remarked that the
Captain had given him no instructions to do so, but
believing his story he ultimately gave him the articles in
question.
Capt. Williams said he was unwilling to pro3ecute the
prisoner for the sake of his wife and family. He had
given him a quantity of clothing, and that was the way
he repaid his generosity.
The prisoner, who said he understood that the captain
intended to give him the things, was remanded till Sa-
turday, to give the police time to search for them.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—Between ten and eleven
o'clock this morning, as J. Underwood, about eight years
of age, the son of very respectable parents, residing at
No. 9, Buckingham-street, Pimlico, was, with a crowd
of other children, in the Broad Sanctuary, Westminster,
looking at one of the street cleansing machines standing
there, when he either fell, or was pushed, against it by
another boy at the instant the horse drawing it moved on,
and his right hand being drawn in between two of the
cog-wheels, was literally crushed to pieces, two of his
fingers being torn off, and falling at his feet. The child
was instantly carried into the Westminster Hospital.
Amputation of the wrist, it is feared, will become indis-
pensable.

MURDER.--Yesterday information was forwarded
to the various metropolitan police-offices and stations,
that on Saturday:night last as Mr. William Inchbald was
proceeding to his residence at Low Dunsforch he was
shot in the body by some malicious individual, who after-
wards succeeded in making good his escape. Mr. Inch-
bald, on being conveyed to his residence, received medi-
cal aid, but without avail, as he expired on the Monday
following. A man named William Kendrew is suspected
of having committed the murder. Kendrew, who has
since absconded, is about twenty-three years of age, but
looks older, about five feet ten or eleven inches in height,
round shoulders, rather square built, low forehead, light
brown hair, short face, eyes rather sunken, large feet,
and shuffles in his walk. A reward of 20/. is offered by
Mr. Charles Inchbald, of Aldborougb, near Borough-
bridge, for the nprehension Kendrew.
LOSS OF A VESSEL WITli ALL HANDS OFF YAK-
NOUTIL—A melancholy shipwreck occurred on Sunday
afternoon last off Yarmouth, about ten miles distant from
the coast. A large foreign vessel, reported to be a
schooner, with a white ball painted on her bows, was
suddenly seen to capsize in a gale of wind and disappear,
about a mile outside of the Cross Sands. She had signals
of distress flying, and was apparently running for the
land when the catastrophe happened, and it is feared
that every person perished. There were several eolliers
passing iliroogh the lea Ls at the tittle, and the masters
immediately bore to the spot where the vessel had gone
down, in the hopes of picking up some of the unfortunate
crew, but none were to be seen,

. FLANDERS MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
STYaIA.—The journal of the Austrian Lloyd con-
tains the following letter from Bruck, in the Aluhr, of
10th September :—" To-day Styria saw for the first time
a locomotive, and that, too, of Austrian manufacture.
The now railway from ➢livizzuschlag to Newdorf, be-
yond Gratz, was opened today, by way of trial, from
Alivizzuschla,,-; to Bruck, and the distance (about twenty-
fire English miles) was performed in two hours, notwith-
standing numerous stoppages on the way and at the
station. In the course of this week the railway will be
open as far as to Badel, and then to Gratz. Thus what
till now bas been generally doubted, and deemed incre-
dible, is accomplished, and in a shorter time than was
announced."

Prince Waldemar of Prussia embarked at Trieste on
the 16th, on board the Mahmndie steamer, belonging to
the Austrian Lloyd, for Athens, whence his Royal high-
ness will proceed by way of Syra, Alexandria, and Suez,
on his voyage to India and China.—Austriun Observer,
Sept. 25.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 30.— BELGIUM AND TILE ZOLLVE-
REIN.—It seems certain that the treaty of the Ist Sep-
tember meets with some opposition even in the Prussian
provinces of the Rhine, where, however, the great majo-
rity of the inhabitants have declared in its favour. Ac.
cording to the Cologne Gazette the German masters are
in the opposition. If we are rightly informed, a depu-
tation of speculators and merchants is gone to Belgium
in order to attempt to raise obstacles to the ratification
of the treaty. The Cologne Gazette has lately published
a long letter from Brussels, in which the advantages
which the Belgian iron-masters may derive from the
treaty are appreciated at their just value.
An arrangement has just been concluded between the
Minister of Finance and Messrs. Rothschild, Brothers,
by which the interest of the Bonds of the New Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., which have been lately issued, and
of those which will be issued for the conversion of the
loan of 1832, may be paid at Paris at the option of the
holder.
