BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FORBLINQUE.)
IN RE, G. WOLSEY .
This bankrupt was described as of Wereham, Norfolk,
baker and miller, and to-day was appointed for his
last examination, which had been adjourned under pe-
culiar circumstances.
It will, perhaps, be recollected that on the first appli-
cation the bankrupt gave a most unsatisfactory account
of his affairs, and he was committed to Newgate, but
shortly afterwards he sent for the messenger and dis-
closed that he bad secreted 500 i. in cash, and gave in-
formation where it could be found at his house.
Mr. J. W. M. Fonblanque appeared on behalf of the
bankrupt; and Mr. Stansteld, the official assignee, said
the accounts were not well vouched; but as the accounts
appeared to be the beat that could be rendered, the
bankrupt was allowed to pass his examination.

INSOLVENCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(More the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)
IN THE MATTER OF SIR WILLIAM TWYSDEN, BART.
This insolvent applied under the Protection Act, on
his interim order. It appeared that Sir William had
been mixed up in railway transactions, and the result
was his present application.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER inquired of Sir William
whether he had any proposal to make for the payment
of his debts? Sir William replied that it was out of
his power to make a proposal. He was now supported
by his friends.
Mr. LEWIS called the attention of the Learned Com-
missioner to the state of the schedule. The Court would
find no personal debts, but only railway liabilities.
His HoNoua appointed a day for the final order, and
granted protection in the interval.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A respectably-attired, good-natured, looking man,
whose name did not transpire, was charged before Mr.
Jardine with screaming and shouting in Whitehall last
night.

A police-constable stated that he was on duty last
night near to Scotland-yard, when he heard a great noise
a distance off. On going to the spot, he found the pri-
soner and another man and woman quarrelling. He
wished them to go away, but the prisoner did not seem
at all disposed to comply with his wish, and he therefore
took him to the station.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he was a
deeply-injured man. The woman was his wife, who was
in the habit efery now and then of going from home
and leaving him to take care of their two children. Yes-
terday she left him again in this mysterious manner,
and she remained absent nearly the whole of the day.
Last night he thought he would ease his mind by taking
a stroll in the park, and accordingly he passed through
the llorse-guards into Parliament-street, where he saw
his wife walking arm-in-arm with a young man by whom
she had a child before he married her. He ran over to
her, and desired her to come home, but the man, for
whom he had been induced to accept bills fur between
80L and 901., said she should not, and he called out
"Police," when the constable came up and took him into
custody, as his wife said she was in danger of her life
from him.

Mr. JARDINE told him that he c mid not be allowed to
make a noise in the public streets; he must confine his
quarrels to his own house; but as he appeared to have
been much irritated by the conduct of his wife, he should
not punish him this time.
The prisoner was therefore discharged with a caution
C,

CORK, BLACKROCK, AND PASSAGE RAILWAY.-
An engine was run, for the first time, on this line of railway
last evening. Its arrival was to a certain extent unexpected,
and the numbers who were attracted to the Park and New-
wall by the fineness of the weather, were equally surprised
and gratified at its unlooked-for appearance. The engine left
Passage about eight o'clock; and as the trip was merely to
test the steadiness and solidity of the rails, the distance was
accomplished in about eighteen minutes, but it is said that it
can be done with ease and safety in ten or twelve minutes.
It is intended to dispatch the engine to Passage in a few
days; and as the waggons will be fitted up to afford tempo..
rary accommodation to the directors and other gentlemen
connected with the company,
this may be looked on more in
the character of an experimental trip. The line, it is confi-
dently stated, will be opened for general traffic on or before
the Ist of June.—Corh Examiner of Wednesday.

1.)
The quantity of English Wheat r,ceived up to our
Market this week, coastwise, has been but moderate,
viz., 2,640 quarters. By land-carriage and sample. the
receipts have been small. To-Jay scarcely any parcels
were offering, and a clearance of them was speedily
effected, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Mon-
day lest. From abroad, 8,670 quarters of Wheat have
reached as. Selected qualities of both red and white
moved off freely, at fully previous rates, and a steady
business was transacted in the middling and inferior
kinds, at late figures. The supply of Barley was limited.
Grinding parcels produced Is. more money. Malting
and distilling sorts were quite as quite as dear. Although
the supply or Malt was seasonably good, the trade ruled
steady, at very full prices. Very tew Oats, either Eng-
lish or foreign, were on the market. All kinds sold
readily, at an improvement in value of 6d per quarter.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were held at very
full prices.

SMITHFIELD.
The number of beasts on offer in to-day's market
being in excess of the wants of the butchers, the Beet
trade ruled excessively heavy, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on Monday, and a total clearance was
not effected. The extreme figure for the best Scots was
3s 6d per 81bs. With Sheep we were heavily supplied,
even the time of year considered. All breeds moved off
slowly, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs.
The primest old Downs sold at 3s 10d per 81bs. There
was a considerable increase in the supply of Lambs,
owing to which the demand was extremely inactive, at a
fall in value of 4d per 81hs. Calves were very dull, and
again rather lower. In Pigs scarcely any sales took
place. Milch Cows were selling at from 14/ to 181 each,
including their small Calf.
