LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 25.
(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)
IN RE C. C. FOOTE.

In this case the insolvent, an attorney, and sometimes
an attorney's clerk, applied for his final order.
Mr. STURGEON opposed for creditors to large amounts.
In the insolvent's former account he had put down a per-
son named Harvey as a debtor in 6001., but in his
amended schedule he had brought him in a creditor to
the amount of 2001., thus making a clear difference of
800/. The creditors prayed time to investigate the
matter.

Sir C. WILLIAMS would give any time the creditors
might require. Such a system was truly disgraceful.
He found the debts stated at 6,0001., and he supposed the
assets, 1,2501, would not produce so many shillings.
The Solicitor to an opposing creditor said the debts
are placed in the amended schedule at 13,0001.
Sir C. WILLIAsts, after again, in the most strong lan-
guage, characterising the system adopted in this case as
a vile one, deferred the further hearing of the case for a
month, in order to give the creditors full time for inves-
tigation.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oct. 25.
Mr. Commissioner lIARms sat this morning for the
purpose of hearing applications for bail.
Although the usual hour for the sitting of the Court is
ten o'clock, the Learned Commissioner did not take his
seat on the Bench until nearly half past eleven, to the
annoyance of those in attendance upon business.

The Provisional Committee have the satisfaction to announce
that the Shares have been all allocated to a highly-respectable and
solvent Proprietary, a very large portion of the deposits received,
and the remainder is in course of payment. _ ... .

The Parliamentary Surveys are nearly completed, and will be
ready in a few days to be submitted to the Board of Trade, with
authenticated statements of the traffic, which more than verify the
expectations originally formed of this undertaking as to the cost of
construction, and prove that it will be highly remunerative.
Another Company, styled the Irish Great Western Railway,
having been lately brought before the public, and adopting a course
from Saltine to Athlone, and thence to Galway, a line originally
examined as far as Athlone by this Committee, and aban-
doned in consequence of the manifest insufficiency of the traffic,
has been mistake i by many persons as the same undertaking as
that to Mullingar and Longford. The Provisional Committee,
therefore, feel it necessary to guard the public against any mistake
in this respect, by stating that their Line to Mullingar, with
branches to Athlone and Longford, has no connexion whatever
with the Company referred to.
By order of the Committee,

IN RE GEORGE WINTER.

In this case the insolvent applied on his petition to be
discharged upon bail until the day appointed for his final
hearing.
It appeared from his schedule that the amount of
debts exceeded 2,500/., for 8001. of which it was stated
that he received no consideration, while the sum for
which he was arrested was only 401. upon an accommo-
dation bill drawn by a person named Boland, and ac-
ceepted by the insolvent. A great many other bills had
been accepted by him in the way of accommodation, for
which he never got any consideration.
The Learned COMMISSIONER commented strongly upon
the insolvent's conduct in accepting accommodation hills
when he was so deeply indebted to others. Such a
course could be only described as cheating his creditors.
He should not accept bail in this case.
The insolvent was accordingly taken back to the
Queen's prison.
In the matter of Richard Roberts, the application of
the insolvent, who was confined in Dolgelly gaol, to be
liberated upo■ bail, was rejected upon the ground of in-
sufficiency in the proffered sureties.
The application of John Whatford, an insolvent con-
fined in Northampton gaol, was rejected upon similar
grounds.

IN RE THOMAS HOW ILLS.
This insolvent had been before the Court on a former
occasion, when the hearing was adjourned, in order that
he might file a fresh schedule, and account for a large
sum of money which was left him as a legacy.
In the schedule which he now produced in Court he
accounted for the disposition of this money, by stating
broAlearlis hands, thatil Ir,le sxent. it in " folly, extravagance, and dissipa-
tion,"
at a time ;
He was remanded
continually drunk, he lodged it in his

DISSOLUTION of PARTNERSHIP
SELLING OFF.

Messrs. J. and J. HOLMES, in consequence of the termination
of the Partnership of J. and J. Holmes and Le Batard, will corn.
mence selling off, at an immense sacrifice, on WEDNESDAY, the
30th of October, their vast and magnificent stock of INDIA,
FRENCH, and BRITISH SHAWLS and SCARFS. Gold and
Silk Delhi Shawls and Scarfs, India Tables, China Vases, Card and
Work Boxes, with various other Oriental productions, collected
with the greatest care, from India, China, the Continental and
Home Markets ; together with their extensive and fashionable col
lection of CLOAKS, MANTLES, SCARFS, &c.
It will be necessary, for the purpose of re-marking the entire
stock, to close their warerooms from the 26th to the 30th of
October, on which day they will re-open for the purpose of selling
off, without reservation.
The high standing and notoriety of the house of Holmes, for
many years, for the splendour and magnitude of its stock, which
has, within the last few years, increased to an enormous extent,
induces them to adopt this mode for its reduction, upon the retire-
ment of M. Le Batard to Paris.

FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND

NOTES.

The discovery of a forgery of Bank of England
notes has created great excitement among all who
are acquainted with it, as there is every probability
of the fraud having been carried on to a most alarm-
ing extent. The notes discovered to be forgeries are
all for 100/., and all of them, it seems, are dated the
sth of December, 1843, and one marked with the
letters "EY," although their numbers are different, as
if they formed part of a series. The paper on which
they are printed distinguishes this from all similar
attempts that have been knout n for some years. In
the ordinary forgeries of Si. notes, the water-mark
has been copied on a wooden block, and a mark,
snfficiently like the ordinary water-mark to deceive
the unpractised eye, has been made on the false note
by intense pressure. In these 1001. notes, on the other
hand, there is a real water-mark, such as could only have
been obtained by manufacturing paper expressly for
that purpose. The parties who have seen the notes
declare that they are such excellent imitations, that
none but experienced inspectors of the Bank of
England could detect the forgery, and even those only
by the most careful examination.
As far as can be learned at present, it seems that
the perpetrators of the fraud selected the foreign
Bourses as the places where they should give circu-
lation to their forgeries. The notes already dis-
covered have come from Belgium and Antwerp; and
it is said that a real note, bearing the same date and
letters as the forgeries, and now in the possession of
the Bank of England, can be proved to have travelled
to Paris. The supposition is, that this note, which
was paid into the Bank of England as far back as
last June, is the original, according to which the for-
geries were made as copies. Therefore, it is far front
improbable that the paper was made, and the plate
engraved, at Paris

The whole amount of the notes already discovered
is less than 1,0001., but there is no reason to believe
that this is the whole extent of the fraud. If the
forgeries were copied from the note now in the Bank
of England, there has been sufficient time to issue a
great number of them, and it is hardly to be expected
that so much pains would have been taken for the
sake of a limited amount. The foreign Bourses are
notorious for the facility with which stolen Bank of
England notes are circulated, and considering the
absence of immediate check, it is obvious that the
facilities for circulating forged notes may be equally
great. Every caution, therefore, should be used by
merchants and all whose business requires them tt)
receive remittances from the continent, for it is evi-
dent that a party has been at work whose acts it
requires the greatest vigilance and acuteness to de-
tect.— Times.

accompanied by General de Itu:.7 igny, Baron de Ge

an airing to-day on horseback on the roaa to Dieppe,
but returned to dinner. The Prefect of the departi.2:!",
General Ltdaing d'Audenarde, and the Mayor of Eu,
were amongst the guests."
His Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale arrived at
Eu on Monday.
According to the Constitutionnel, Marshal Soult is on

the fourth anniversary of the Cabinet of which he is the
nominal, and M. Guizot the real, President.
"We are informed," says the 7'ouknnais of Sunday
last, " that a small squadron will be sent to Naples to
bring to France the intended bride of the Duke d'Au-
male. The period of the departure of this naval force,
which some persons think will go under the command of
the Prince de Joinville, is not yet fixed, but it is be-
lieved to be very near."
The Messages announces the completion of the ar-
rangement for the new service by steam between Mar-
seilles and Oran and Stora in Algeria. It is to com-
mence on January Ist, as already stated. There will
thus be seven departures for Algeria per month—viz.,
three for Algiers, two for Oran, and two for Store.
Dispatches had been received at Madrid from Rome,
which were considered highly satisfactory by the Court,
inasmuch as they contained bulls prolonging the office
of the Royal Commissary de la Cruzada for two years,
this being looked upon as a special favour, no autho-
rization having been as yet given for more than one year.
We learn from Berlin that the municipality of that
capital, having entered into a contract with an English
company for lighting the city with gas for upwards of
20 years, and finding that, consequently, there will be
no expense created by forming the establishments which
would have been required for that purpose, has l'fisolved,
instead, to erect a new hospital, sufficiently spacio;is to
receive 600 patients, and suppress all the present smaLler
hospitals. The cost of the new edifice is estimated at
275,000 dollars.
A letter from Weimar announces the death, at Vienna,
of the only grand-daughter of Goethe.
The mortal remains of Weber, the composer, who
died in London in 1826, have just been finally depo-
sited with some pomp, in the Catholic cemetery of
Dresden.

Letters from Figueras, of the 15th, state, that the
correspondence and papers seized upon General Amettler
positively prove that measures had been taken by the
conspirators so that the movement should break out
simultaneously in the provinces of G-ironi and Tarragona.
The Barcelona papers, of the 18th, state the military
authorities to be adopting every possible precaution, in
order to check a Progresista movement.
The Observateur tht Rhin states that, in addition to
the sum of nine millions and a half of francs, contri-
buted by the states of the Germanic Confederation, for
the construction of new fortresses, they have also agreed

ECONOMY of ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.
" Report of the fourteenth meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement of Science, Mon-
day, September 30. Section G. M!chanical Science.
On the Economy of Artificial Light for Preserving
Sight. By Mr. J. Hawkins."
"Few were aware," he said, "of the injury in-
flicted oa the Sight by too much, or too little light,
i and by a sudden transition from gloom to light. He
J had tried several experiments with a view to procure
a light of a medium description. He commenced
with two common candles, alternately snuffing and
leaving them unsnuffed, and measuring the intensity
of the light. The result of this experiment was,
that he found that the candle well snuffed, gave eight
times the light of that which was unsnuffed. He then
proceeded to a process of weighing, and found that
one pound of the snuffed candles gave as much light
as nine pounds of the unsnuffed candles."
Mr. Hawkins further found that a pound of candles,
to burn (like Price's Patent Candles) without snuff-
ing, gave the same light as four pounds snuffed in the
usual way, say every ten minutes, and the same as
eleven pounds unsnuffed altogether. After alluding to
further experiments with Candles, and also with
Oils, he concluded by recommending the Self-Snuff-
ing Candles in preference to 01 Lamps.
Price's Patent Candles have for some time past
been advertised as more economical than common
tallow ones, because, not requiring to be snuffed, they
give so much more light. The Patentees now pub-
lish the above extract as a remarkable confirmation of
the truth of their assertions. Those who still persist
in burning tallow moulds, or dips, in the idea that
candles at sixpence per pound are necessarily cheaper
than those at a shilling per pound, may now learn
how much real economy there is in such a course.
Four pounds of the snuffed candles giving, as above
shown, the same light as one pound of the self-snuF4-
ones, those who burn tallow candles at s;-- —"g
pound are doing the same thing. Jr they paid two
as •,. ....pence per
shillings per pound for Pri7_, s Patent Candles ; for
they pay four sixpe:ces for that quantity of light
which one you rj: of these candles will give. They
ni::,teover, the bad smell, dirt, and annoyance,
suffer,
ro.ing from the use of the snuffers every ten minutes,
and the injury to the eyesight, stated above, to follow
the sudden transition from gloom to light when the
candles are snuffed.
Price's Patent Candles are sold by respectable
dealers in most parts of the kingdom, but care must
be taken to insist on toeing supplied with the real
ones, as many imitations are made at low prices for
the shopkeepers, which, on account of the greater
profit, some of them endeavour, and with too fre-
quent success, to palm upon the public as " just the
same as the Patent Candles." The trade may obtain
them wholesale from Edward Price and Co., Belmont,
Vauxhall; or from Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell.—From the Athenceum of Saturday, 19th

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES

Sir,—On the architrave of the north facade of the
Royal Exchange are three inscriptions insculpt in re-
lief, each divided by a simple moulding. The one on
the left of the spectator is the common City motto,
" DOMINE. DIRIGB. NOS," and that on the right is
" HONOR. DEO ;" both of which inscriptions every
passer-by, though unacquainted with Latin, can
readily comprehend. But the motto in the central
compartment, " FORTVN. A. MY," appears to puzzle
thousands, and the Latin scholar more than any other.
By some it has been deciphered " Fortuna ad Murat"
(prosperity to these walls). But the truth is, that it
is not Latin, but Norman French, and was the motto
of Sir Thomas Gresham's family arms, "Fortune a
moi" (prosperity to my house); or, literally, " For-
tune to me."
In old Norman French the termination i or of is
usually written y; the preposition a is not accented;
and the omission of the final e in fortune (leaving it
doubtful whether it is Latin or French) conduces to
the general puzzle.—Yours, &c.,
P. A. NUTTALL.

He considered his servant had done nothing more than
he would have done in the steward's presence ; but
owing to the officious meddling of the police he had been
treated as a criminal, and his (Lord Lovelace's) property
had been
.jeopardized by 'wire); intructe-1 to a littl-
trate iitiukt leei ii riBitt, vi order tt,e ietease ser-
vant, and make him some reparation for having been
confined among felons. If that was not done, he should
take legal advice as to the best means of exposing the
oppression under which an innocent man had been de-
prived of his liberty, and respectable bail refused.)
Mr. CLIVE said he had distinctly understood the lad's
age to be sixteen who was intrusted with his Lordship's
team, and that he had himself stated that he was fully
capable of managing it; but that did not matter. It had
nothing to do with the charge.
Mr. Kaye—My opinion is that the police should have
found some one more competent to take the team home.
Mr. CLIVE—It does not matter about your opinion.
If his Lordship thinks it necessary to take proceedings
against the police, they will be prepared to meet the
charge.

Kaye—llis Lordship will expect compliance with
the terms of his note.

Mr. CLIVE-It is not becoming in you to threaten in
a court of justice. I told you before, the police will be
prepared to meet any charge, and I repeat that they
were justified in what they did.
Mr. ClaV, afterwards road a letter from Mr. Collins,
the master of the other prisoner, in which that person
regretted that his servant should have got into trouble,
and blamed him for not having taken sufficient food for
his horses from home. The Magistrate thought this
letter proved that no exchange took place, or was in-
tended; for it was pretty evident that Clements had no
clover, or any other kind of fodder, to give in exchange
for hay. The prisoners were then discharged.

MAGAZINES.—(CONTINUED.)
HOOD'S MAGAZINE.
The present portion of Mr. Hood's domestic novel,
entitled "Our Family," opened with a humorous
scene of an altercation between two servants respect-
ing the proper mode of treating their master's infant
children. The one is all for the soothing system, the
other for compelling the helpless innocents in question
to rough it through their nursery career. The quar-
rel between the two servants is carried on with a dis-
regard to the
.proprieties of grammar and com-
mon-sense exquisitely extravagant and original.
" Sonnet," by the late John Keates, is a very poor
affair, remarkable rather for verbiage than thought or
sentiment. " Uncle Tom in Trouble," is a cleverish
sketch of academic life at Oxford. " Camberwell
Fair towards Midniklit," contains one or two sketches
of character pcurtrayed in a touching, unaffected
spirit, that at once makes its way to the heart. IVe
subjoin some elegant stanzas on " The Rose of
June :"
Oh ! sweet are the flowers of early Spring
When her budding wreath she weaves ;
And bright are the glowing tints that cling
To the last of Autumn leaves.
And dear to me was the spring-time once,
And bright yeas the harvest moon
But mine eye now turns with a kinder glance
To the cloudless skies of June.
For we met beneath those skies at eye,
As the sun in splendour set ;
But our souls were dark as the eastern wave,
Which the evening rays forget.
For Fortune screed my love from me,
And we wept to part so soon ;
But the token she gave for memory
Was a blooming rose of June.
For that was all of its worshipp'd wealth
That the world had given us then ;
But, oh ! for the wasted hope and health
Of those vanish'd years again I
And, oh ! for the love so freely given,
For life bath no such boon
To offer now, as was promised then,
By that lovely Rose of June.
Long, long was the treasured blossom worn,
When its leaves were dead and sere,
And far was the frail memorial borne,
'Through the storms of many a year.
For dear to the depths of memory,
As the wanderer's household tune,
When heard on his far and weary way,
Was that wither'd Rose of June.
My task was done,. and my hopes were crown'd,
And I sought my native shore ;
And my home and my kindred's hearts I found
As I left their land of yore.
I came in the strength of hope and love—
In the pride of manhood's noon ;
But I came to. plant on her early grave
The first bright Rose of June.
Oh ! many a spring, with its blossoms bright,
O'er my lonely path 'lath swept,
But joyless all, as the morning's light
To the eyes that have not slept.
Yet the flower in my first affection shrined,
Though its beauty perished soon,
Still it blooms in the wastes of memory, twined
With the lovely Rose of June I
