BANKRUPTCY—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE PAPPS.
This insolvent,. who had- carried on- business • as a coal-
merchant in Kennington-oval, came up for an interim order,
and was opposed on behalf of Mr. Langley, a surgeon, for a
debt of 25/.

The ground of opposition, was, that the insolvent's debts
only amounted to 179/., to meet which lie had' an income of
140/. a year, arising out of funds in the Four per Cents. The
creditor's solicitor said it was quite absurd to argue that a
person situated like the insolvent was entitled to relief under
the Act.

The insolvent said he had been driven to the present
course through the proceedings of Mr. Langley, whose
debt amounted only to a little mere than 201. He (insol-
vent) bad accepted an accommodation bill for 101., which 41-
Langley was to have taken up, but bad not done so. Mr. _
Langley then pressed him to become security for a loan
society, which he declined. A breach of friendship had re-
sulted, and Mr. Langley had brought an action.
The Learned COMMISSIONER asked the insolvent whether
he was disposed to make any proposition for the payment of
his debts? The insolvent said he really could:not, for, in the
first instance he had not received any money under the trust,
and the trustees anticipated great difficulty in obtaining it,
and that even when obtained, it would belong to his wife.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said, as there was no disposi-
tion to meet the case fairly, he should dismiss the petition.

THE POTATO DISEASE.
TO THE EDl7'olt OF THE SUN.
Sin,—A farmer in this neighbourhood who had a bury of
about fifty sacks of potatoes, discovered that they bad been
attacked with the prevailing epidemic. To such an extent
had the ravages of the disease prevailed, that only six bags
out of the lot were thought worth saving, and these (being
more or less affected), he sold .o a tradesman of this City for
pigs. This latter gentleman bad them emptied into an out-
house, which was dry, and to which there was a free access
of air, and in a very short time he found that the diseased
parts were completely dried up, and the remainder ht for
culinary purposes.
This suggests the propriety of keeping the potato out of
the clamp, and in places where there is free ventilation; and
I trust this communication will be attended to ,by potato
Sc.,wers, who have the accommodation of barns, out-houses,
Sz to enable them to try the experiment.—Yours,;&e.
Worcester, Oct. 20, 1845. P.

To-day is the fortieth anniversary of the last of
Nelson's great battles—the battle of Trafalgar. It says little
for the gratitude of the inhabitants of London that, while in
so many provincial towns monuments have been flit -twenty
or thirty years erected, forty years after his death the monu-
ment in Trafalgar-square is still unfinished.

A woodcock was shot in the parish of Ilalwell,
near Totness, on Tuesday, the 7th inst.— Western Times.
DRINKING FOR -A WAGER.--On Tuesday a per-
son called Thomas Lister, a shoemaker, living at Barneslcy, un-
dertook, fora trifling wager, to drink two quarts of ale and a pint
of rum in ten minutes, which he accomplished, but was so ill after,
that a surgeon was obliged to be sent for, and narrowly saved his
life by the application of the stomach-pump. —Leeds Intelligencer.
SIIAKING A WOMAN IN A SACK.-- At the Black-
burn Petty Sessions on Wednesday, Sylvester Whalley, Thomas
Taylor, William Whitehead, and George Heap were charged by
Mary Pollard with having shaken her in a sack. All the parties
were employed at the print-works of Mr. Hargreaves, at Broad
Oak, Accrington. The complainant stated that on Monday week
a person who had previously courted her had got married, when
the defendants, who worked in the same room in the mill as her-
self, came up to her, and said, as she had " lost her chap," they
would shake her in a bag if she would not pay them tome money
for drink. She refused to comply with their request, when Heap
got hold of her, and Taylor found a sack, and they at"Rirced her
into it, and shook her. Her person was very indeeelitly exposed
while she was being forced into the sack. The defendants ad-
mitted having committed the offence, and said in extenuation, that
the complainant had laid hold of one of them by the neck and
tried to kick him. The magistrates expressed their surprise at
the cowardly nature of the assault, and the pitiful excuse offered,
and fined each of the defendants in the penalty of 20s. and costs.
The defendants expressed themselves very dissatisfied at this de-
cision, as "shaking in the bag" was a custom on such occasions as
that referred to by the complainant, whereupon the magistrates re..
called them, and increased the fine to 50s. and costs, and ordered
them to find two sureties to keep the peace for twelve months.
Subsequently, however, at the intercession of Mr. Hargreaves, who
pleaded the ignorance of the defendants and the custom spoken of,
and on the defendants declaring their contrition for the offence
they had committed, the penalty was mitigated to 20e. each and
costs.—Halifax Guardian.

A RAILWAY CASE DECIDED WITH RAILWAY SPEED.
—Yesterday morning a youth, named John Silvester, was charged
before the mayor with having stolen a carpet bag, containing a
variety of articles of wearing apparel, the property of the Rev.
Matthew Henry Farm, of Shirley, Croydon, Surrey. The
rev. complainant said that, upon the evening of the 7th inst., he
arrived by a train at the London railway station in this town, on
his way to Laucaater. On alighting from the carriage he placed
his carpet bag upon the platform while he went to look for his
portmanteau, and on his return he found it was gone, and had seen
nothing of it till that morning, when it was pointed out to him in
the possession of Mr. Inspector Edmonds. Inspector Edmonds
stated that on the evening of the Bth inst., from information he
had received, he apprehended the prisoner in New Summer-street,
and found upon him part of the property that had been stolen.
The carpet bag and the remainder of the articles claimed by Mr.
Ferrer were found at the prisoner's lodgings. Alter hearing the
above evidence, and the property having been identified, the pri-
soner was committed to the sessions, then being held, and in less
than two hours he was Nought before the Learned Recorder, and
having pleaded guilty to the charge, was sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment with hard labour.—Birmirighaile Journal,
Oct. IS.

THE RECENT SECESSIONS FROM THE -lIE RCII.—
We are enabled to correct one or two misstatements which have
appeared in several of our contemporaries respecting the recent
secessions to Rome. It is not, as has been reported, Mr. and Mrs.
Crawley, of Littlemore, who have gone over to the Itomaritatholio
Church with Mr. Newman, but Mr. and Mrs. Woodmason, also
residents of that place, who, with some of the membeis of their
family, have taken that step. Again, the resignation of Mr.
Rogers, Fellow of Oriel, has, we believe, been erroneously connected
whh ecclesiastical circumstances. On the other hand, we under.
stand that the Rev. EJgar Estcourt, M. A., of Exeter College (a
nephew of the lion.. Member for the University), has withdrawn
from his college, with a view to enter the Roman Catholic Church.
We understand also, that a clergyman and member of Oriel Col.
lege has resigned his living with a similar intention. The Oxford
Herald, of Saturday, corrects a statement which has appeared in
the English Churchman and ether papers, to the effect that Mr.
Newman was received by Dr. Gentili, of Loughborough; whereas
it was Dr. Dominick, Superior of the Passionist Monastery, at
Aston.hall, In Staffordshire, under whom Mr. Newman made his
profession; and the admission took place, not at Oscott, but, as we
originally stated, at Littlemore, where Mr. Newman has long [e-
-1 sided in strict retirement. —Post.

Mons. Thiers returned to Mivart's Hotel yesterrlay
from visiting Lord Ashburton at his scat, the Grange, near Basing.
stoke, and, accompanied by Mr. Greville, subsequently proceeded
to the Foreign-office.
-On Saturday the Earl of Derby presented the
members of the Zoological Gardens, in the Regent's-park, with
two large alligators.
CAPTURE or A SIIARK.—On Monday, a abash,
measuring-seven feet eight inches in length, and four feet one
inch in girth, teas caught by John Robertson, and three other
fishermen on the shore at the Magdalene Fields. This is the fifth
of these voracious fish which has been caught here within the
last twelve months, and the fishermen say that they have seen
several others in the bay.—Berwick Warder.
TUE CIRCUIT OF TUB 'BUSSES.—The City omni-
buses are still going the circuit. Business with them has been
very dull, for persons.who are in a hurry to get from Piccadilly
to the Haymarket do not like being carried round the Regent's
Park, whilst an excursion into Holborn and Covent-garden is not
found, upon trial, to be the shortest cut from Temple-bar to the
Bank'. Several old 'gentlemen, who are 01 the habit.bf riding U.
the City every morning, have adopted the plan of getting out of the
omnibus at Fetter-line, and waiting for it as it conies into Its
usual track again at l'arringdon-street. During this lora interve
1 of time they quietly take their breakfasts ; and on their returt,
home they dine. This arrangement of tilling up a tedious hour
has.become so popular that most of the omnibuses base been
obliged to adopt the theatrical system of giving checks to persons
who go out and intend to come in again ; and it is now usual
for a cad to ask of every passenger who steps out, 14 Do you return,
Sir This plan will kept up as long as the exhibition of the
sewers continues open in Fleet street from morning to dusk.--
