BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FAKE.)'
A very great number of insolvents' interim orders
were on the paper for hearing in Mr. Commissioner
Fane's Court, but none of them possessed any feature of
interest.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
A young man of very respectable appearance, who
gave his name Downing, was committed to Newgate,
for having stolen from a public-house, in which he lodged
for ten days, a satin waistcoat and pair of trousers, va-
lued at 2/. 7s.

The prisoner seemed deeply affected at his isgraceful
position, and said that transportation would be a blessing
to him, as he had now lost caste, and his friends had in
consequence. deserted him.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
John Smith and James Clindon, young men dressed
in very fashionable style, were charged with attempting
to pick pockets. From the numerons robberies that
have lately been committed by picking the pockets of
ladies and gentlemen passing through the Quadrant two
additional beadles have been placed there, at the expense
of the housekeepers, to prevent the continuance of these
depredations. Yesterday afternoon, between four and
five o'clock , the prisoners were seen acting in concert
attempting to pick the pockets of two gentlemen in pass-
ing by ; they did not, however, succeed in extracting
anything. Seeing that the officer was about to appre-
hend them they endeavoured to escape, but were even-
tually secured. _

Hartpwrcx—Are the prisoners known to the
police?—lnspector Russell, of the C division—They
have both been repeatedly convicted, at this Court as
reputed thieves.
Mr. HAnnwicx.—l commit them both for two months
to hard labour in the new Westminster Bridewell.
The prisoner Smith—This is the most shameful treat-
ment for real gentlemen ; our (boss 'll prove that.
Leitch, the gaoler, removed the prisoners by force to
the lock-up cell.
James Juddenham, a carman, and Alfred Walker, alias
Ribbins, who gave his address, at No. 302, Strand, and
deibribed himself as " Bug destroyer to her Majesty,"
were charged on suspicion of being concerned in the fol-
lowing extensive robbery of Bank notes and sovereigns
from the mansion of the Earl of Harrowby in Grosvenor-
square.
Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock,
the housekeeper of the Earl 'left home, and on her re-
turn in the evening missed from a workbox on a table
in her room, Bank of England notes of the following
amount :-3001., 501., 201., 101., two of 51, and fifty-six
sovereigns.
Information was immediately given at the statinn-
hmico of tina flivicinn in ATin., riccadilly, and a
strict inquiry was instantly set on foot by Inspector
Aos, from which resulted the apprehension of the ac-
cused under circumstances of strong suspicion, both of
them having been employed on the premises.
Some of the witnesses not being in attendance, the
further hearing of the case was postponed.

THE BRITISH PENITENT FEMALE REFUGE.—
Last evening the fifteenth annual meeting of this society
was held at the Asylum, Cambridge-heath, Hackney,
for the purpose of receiving the report and transacting
the usual business of the institution. In the absence of
the Earl of Mountcashel, the president, the chair was
taken by John Dobee, Esq., the treasurer. The report,
which was read by the secretary, stated that the society
was instituted to afford protection to innocent females
who may be exposed to imminent temptation and dan-
ger, as well as to assist the restoration of those who
have fallen into sin, and are desirous of returning to the
paths of virtue. Since its formation 805 females have
been admitted. Thirty have been received during the
present year, and the number at present in the house is
thirty-four. The balance showed that last year the do-
nations amounted to 9981. 6s. I Id. Annual subscrip-
tions, 323/ 17s. Id. Legacies, 1101., making in addition
to o her sums, a gross receipt of 1,902/. 15s. 9d. The
expenditure amounted to 1,433/. 7s. 9d. The whole of
the debt of 8161. Os. 3d., which was due from the so-
ciety on the 22d of April, 1843, has since been dis-
charged, and the institution is now free from incum-
brance. The report was unanimously adopted. The
meeting was subsequently addressed by several gentle-
men, and resolutions tending to the prosperity of the
institution having been unanimously carried, thanks
were voted to the chairman, and the meeting broke up.
WORCESTER, AUG. 17.—There is a decided change
in the opinions to-day, as to the prospect of the Hop
crop, which is by no means so promising as it was a week
ago, the bur having made but little progress for several
days past, owing, it is supposed, to the cold nights; and
the plant is looking dull and rusty from the same cause ;
the duty has, therefore, receded from 18,000/. to 16,000/,
with the feeling generally against the latter estimate.
Notwithstanding these unfavourable appearances,business
is slack, very few sales having been effected since our
last report. The best 1843's are nominally worth 1265.
per cwt.— Worcester Chronicle.
SALMON FISHING.—The fishing on the Tweed for
the week up to Thursday night has been rather un-
productive ; but on Thursday night and Friday morning
the take was immense—so much so,indeed, that we have
been informed it has exceeded that upon any occasion
for wally years.---Ayr Observer.
