BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE MILLS.

This insolvent, who had kept the Blue Posts public-house,
South am pton-bui!dings, came up for his adjourned final order.
Mr. DUNCAN appeared on behalf of a Mr. Shar-
pies to oppose, on the grounds that there had been a
vexatious defence to an action and an improper
dis-
posal of property. It appeared that an action had been
brought for a balance of account for 251., but the verdict was
only for 51., but on the execution being put in it was dis-
covered that the whole of the property had been swept away
by a previous writ, at the suit of the insolvent's mother.
➢lr. Duncan pressed for an adjournment.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that, as this was an ad-
journed meeting, he did not think it ought to be adjourned
again, as it would be forming a _very bed precedent; the
opposing creditor should have been prepared with his case.
As, however, it was a case fraught with suspicion, he would
adjourn it at the cost of the creditor, and the insolvent's
mother should be called.

Mr. DUNCAN said that Mr. Sharpies would consent to pay
the costs.—Adjourned.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary PorrEn.)
WILLIAMS AND ANOTHER V. GALLIARD.
The plaintiffs in this action are managers of a loan society
in Red-cross-street, City. The demand was for 51 13s. on
a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was alleged to be
the acceptor. The defendant, who conducted his own case,
pleaded non-acceptance.

On the part of the plaintiff, a witness was called who de-
posed that he was present in May, 1844, when he saw the
defendant sign the bill. The witness was rigidly cross-exa-
mined on that point, but persisted in his identity of the de-
fendant. He was further questioned as to whether the loan
for which the bill was given had not been paid.
The Learned SECONDARY said that the defendant must
confine himself to the plea of non-acceptance; he could not
now be admitted to prove payment.
The defendant said it was very hard on him ; he was too
poor to employ a professional adviser. He then addressed
the jury, denying most positively that he ever signed the
bill. He said the acceptance was not even in his name, as
there was an error in the spelling.
The Learned SECONDARY said that the defendant had un-
fortunately not taken the steps to try the issues now raised ;
it was a simple question whether or not he accepted the bill.
The defendant said, the truth wag, a lodger of his had re-
presented him without his knowledge, but that the amount
of the loan had been paid. It was strange twetve months were
allowed to elapse before he was called on.
The SECONDARY said that the jury had but one issue to
try, and he did not see how they could set aside sworn evi-
dence on mere assertion.
Verdict for the amount claimed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Mary Evans, a female of homely look and meanly clad
was charged with intending to drown herself in the Serpen-
tine River.

She was observed by Charles Griffiths, one of the boatmen
belonging to the Royal Humane Society, who gave informa-
tion to John Hawkins, police-constable, No. 157 of the A
division, who took the priaoner into custody. On her way
to the station-house she admitted that she intended to drown
herself.

1 The prisoner, in answer to inquiries put to her by Mr.
Hardwick, stated that she was 24 years of age, and had been
living in service in the family of Mr. Scrivener, butcher of
Reading. A farmer's son, who visited the family, seduced
her, and induced her to follow him to London, a short time
since. She lived with him about three weeks, in some place
in the City. About a week ago he deserted her, leaving her
pennyless. She was forced to quit the lodgings they had oc-
cupied, and wandered about until she got a lodging at Pad-
dington,which she was obliged to leave the night before last;
her only change of apparel being detained for the rent.
Mr. HAnDwicK—ls the account you have given of your-
self true? Prisoner—lt is, I assure you. My father is a col-
lector of rates, and parish clerk. of Wellingford.
Mr. HAnDwicii—Why not, rather than purposing this
most wicked act, sinning against the laws of God and reason,
make an effort to get back again to your family? Prisoner
(crying)—l wish to do so, Sir, but my shame— ' •
Mr. HARDwicK—lf you will promise not to repeat the
wicked attempt you have made on your life, the means shall
be furnished you of returning to your family. Prisoner—
I am verry sorry, I assure you ; I'll never do it again.
An inspector of the C division said she was literally
famishing when brought to the station-house. SLe had no
money abeut her.
_ _

Scott, the principal officer for serving the processes of the
Court, was ordered to attend to the unfortunate young
woman's return to her parents.

THE WEATHER.—During the last few days we
have had a foretaste of winter. From Saturday night till
Monday morning we experienced a succession of stonily
blasts from the south-west, accompanied by hail showers of
unwonted severity, which rendered it unsafe for any one to
be out of doors during their prevalence. Such was the- vio-
lence of the storm that it sent the hail against the windows
in exposed situations with a force that threatened to demo-
lish every pane of glass. In the upper districts of the county,
where . unfortunately the greater part of the grain is still
out, the stooks were laid totally prostrate, and the uncut
crop has suffered considerably from the deluge of rain that
fell. This backward turn of the weather, it is to be feared,
may endanger the safety of many parcels of crop in late lying
places. The storm, we perceive, has been extensive in its
range. Last night the gale returned with unabated fury, and
to-day is cold and wet.—Ayr Observer.
DEATH OF THE GOVERNOR OF THE NAVAL. KNIGHTS
OF WlNDSOR.—Lieutenant C. Carter, who succeeded Lieu-
tenant Jones about four years since as Governor of the Naval
Knights of Windsor, expired on Wednesday evening, at his
residence, in Travers' College, after an illness of several
weeks. The late Lieutenant Carter, who had been for some
time past afflicted with dropsy and diseased liver, was be-
tween 60 and 70 years of age. The funeral of the late Go-
vernor will take at St. George's Chapel on Monday next.
A week or two must elapse before the high sales
of wheat can come into the returns, and it is probable
that the duty may advance a step before it begins to
recede ; ultimately a much lower duty may, however, be
expected.—Devizes Gazette.

FOItEION.-91 chests Bahia sold is to 2s lower ; fine brown
255, and low 22s Gd. Cuba Muscovado has been taken in at
26s for fine yellow, and 457 boxes Havannah at 31s to 32s for
fine yellow, and 37s for mid and white
MOLASSES.—There has been a fair demand.
COFFEE.—There has been very little doing in British Plan-
tation, but there is more disposition to purchase Ceylon,
and holders ask higher rates. Good ord pale has been at 47s
to 48s, and real good ord bold pale were at 51s to Ms 6d
per cwt. Holders have taken in some at 47s to 645. Mocha
has been also taken in at 60s to 635. Padang, 500 bags, sold
at 27a. 133 brls Rio were nearly all taken in at 45s to 100 s,
and 106 bags Laguayra at 65s to 98s.
SPICES.—There has been a fair general business done in
Mace, Nutmegs, Cloves, Pepper, &c. White Pepper is held
for higher rates.
