THIS DAY'S NEWS.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(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 600/., but in his
amended schedule he had brought him in a creditor to
the amount of 200/., thus making a clear difference of
800/. The creditors prayed time to investigate the
matter.

----,....
Sir C. Wriaxots 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, 1,250 L, 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. WILLIAMS, 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 COURT-(THIS DAY,

Mr. Commissioner HARRIS 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 ROYAL EXCHANGE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—On the architrave of the north façade 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. DIRIGE. 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.

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 2,5001., 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 bills
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 upoa hail, 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.

whole Livery procession, under the directions of the
Commissioner of Police.
7. That the barriers for the admission of company
be closed at eleven o'clock, and not opened upon any
pretence for the admission of company going to the
Exchange, except the members of the Royal Family,
the Cabinet Ministers, and Officers of State, and those
engaged in the procession, who are to precede the
Queen, and that they be not re-opened till after her
Majesty has passed out of the City.
8. The inhabitants of the sgveral houses in the line
of her Majesty's procession within the City be re-
quested to take particular care that the parapets of
their houses' are made secure, to prevent accidents
occurring to their inmates, or the public, by the falling
in thereof of the copings, or materials therefrom.
9. That the foregoing regulations be put up in the
public streets through which the procession will pass,
and that the same be printed, and a copy delivered by
the police at each house in the line of procession from
Temple-bar to the Exchange.
MEREWETHER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—Surely the Queen is coming in full state to
open the Royal Exchange, or else what use is the
state carriage and all those enormously splendid ap-
pointments—if we are to verge down into plain down-
right democracy at once ? Surely the household
troops, and every other means the Government has at
its disposal, should be brought into action on the
present occasion.

I am sure the whole of the people will be much
disappointed if this event is to be carried through at
a railroad pace, merely for the sake of getting credit
of it, instead of being a national event in the history
of the first city of the world.
Pray say a word or two on the subject in your
powerful paper.----Yours, &c. CIVI S.

HOLME DYE WORKS.

SALE of EXTENSIVE and Valuable DYE WORKS, at
THORNES, near WAKEFIELD, advantageously situate for
carrying on business in Cloth and Wool Dying, and also in Stuff
Dying, and Finishing, in connexion with the Towns of Man-
chester, Bradford, Leeds, Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, and
Wakefield.

MESSRS. BECKET and CHILD, have the
honour to announce that they have received instructions
to offer the above valuable and eligibly situated Premises for
public competition, on FRIDAY, the 22d day of November next, at
the Strafford Arms Hotel, in Wakefield aforesaid, at Four o'Clock
in the Afternoon.

These Premises arc upon the Banks of the Calder (the water of
which has long been celebrated for its excellency for Dyeing put.
poses), and are situate higher up the stream than any other similar
establishment.

The works possess facilities for the transit of goods rarely to be
met with. They are bounded by the river Calder, the Calder and
Hebble Navigation, and the Wakefield and Denby Dale Turnpike
road, and are within a short distance of the Manchester and Leeds
Railway.

In the immediate vicinity are several working Collieries, from
whence fuel may be obtained on very reasonable terms.
The Buildings have been erected within the last four years, and
are arranged upon a plan admitted by competent judges to be equal
if not superior to any other Dyehouse in the kingdom.
The Steam Engine is 30 horse power, and connected with it are
FIVE LARGE BOILERS,

constructed for the purpose of generating steam for the works, and
all the machinery (including large Indigo Mill, and every requisite
for preparing Dye.woods), utensils, and implements, are on the
most modern and improved principles.

_ . .
Attached to the premises is
A NEWLY-BUILT DWELLING-HOUSE,
containing dining, drawing, and breakfast-rooms, and two kitchens
on the ground-floor; and adjoining are tastefully laid-out Plea-
sure Grounds, sloping to the river, and forming a most desirable
residence for the Proprietor of the Works.
Contiguous are

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1844,

Our readers may perhaps remember that, some five
or six weeks since, Mr. O'CONNELL publicly an-
nounced his intention of coming over to England
previously to the meeting of Parliament, and making
a sort of tour through the country, everywhere pro-
claiming his own and his country's grievances. He
promised to treat his English audiences to a full and
particular history of the State Trials, of his own sub-
sequent imprisonment, and of all matters appertaining
thereto, in the confident assurance that his narrative
would be listened to with interest, and the popular
indignation be roused at the idea of the injustice
done him and his brother traversers. Mr. O'CON.•
N Enr. would not have been disappointed in
his expectations. He would have found the majo-
rity of his English hearers—who are notoriously fond
of fair play—perfectly ready to sympathise with the
story of his wrongs, hacknied as is now the theme;
46 but, distrusting their feelings towards him, he has
thought fit to change his mind ; and if he now visits
this country, it will only be as a Member of Parlia-
ment, in the discharge of his senatorial duties. At
the Repeal demonstration, which took place last week
et Waterford, the Honourable and Learned Gen-
tleman, alluding to this alteration in his views,
observed that he had no longer any hope of being
able to make an impression on the heads or
he.rts of Englishmen, for they evinced a total
disregard of everything Irish; and then proceeded to
make an attack on the English Press, which he ac-
cused, in no measured terms, of refusing to report
the grievances of the sister country. Really this is
doing us gross injustice. When have we hesitated,
in common with the majority of our Contemporaries,
to denounce the conduct of Government towards
Ireland ? When have we ever declined to make
known the wrongs of that ill-starred country, and to
insist on a full and complete measure of justice being
awarded to her? Have not the columns of the
English Press teemed month after month, week after
week, for many years past, with minute, circum-
stantial reports of Repeal meetings at the Con-
ciliation-hall, and Repeal dinners at the various
provincial towns of Irelan 1 ? There is not a
public man in the empire whose sayings and doings
have been reported at such length, and with such
scrupulous accuracy in the English journals, as Mr.
O'CONNELL. He is the very last person who should
complain of our neglect. Even his worst jokes have
been chronicled with the minuteness of an item in a
tradesman's ledger. Nay, so studiously solicitous
has the Press been to do him justice that it has not
omitt::(1 even to make honourable
mention' of the
velvet crown-shaped car, w hich he wore the other
day at one of the Repeat gatherings, and
in h we have every reason to 'believe
he looked unusually captivating ! Why then dose he
denounce us, instead of exhibiting towards us all the
bland benevolence of gratitude ? Simply because we

will not pay more deference to his Repea crotchet

EXCISE INFORMATION.— William Coots and John Hay
were charged by Mr. Knyvitt, an Excise officer, with
having sold gin in Hyde Park, without a license.
Knyvitt said he had received information that persons
were in the habit of breaking the law by selling gin to
the skaters on the Serpentine, and that, acting on this
information, he went to Hyde Park on Sunday afternoon
to make observations. He saw one of the defendants
with a table before him in the park selling something
from a bottle to various persons. He saw the other de-
fendant place a small bottle on the table, from which
both defendants drank a glass of some liquor. Witness
went up to the defendants, and asked what they charged
for a glass? One of them replied the charge for a glass
of peppermint-water was 2d. Witness asked what was
charged for a glass of gin, and on being told 21d. he or-
dered a glass, and was served with the gin, for which he
paid. The defendants were afterwards given into cus-
tody. In their posses ion several bottles were found.
These bottles were either full of peppermint-water or
smelt as if they had only had peppermint-water in them.
The only bottle containing gin was the small bottle out
of which witness was served. _ _ _

In defence, one of the accused stated that after
having dinner on Sunday he asked his companion to
fetch some gin for their own use. When the gin was
brought they drank some of it, and at that moment the
Excise officer came up, and as he wanted some gin and
not peppermint-water, and there being about a glass of
it in the bottle, he was supplied with a single glass. The
defendants further said that they only sold peppermint-
water for the accommodation of the skaters.

Mr. MALTBY had no doubt that gin had been sold im-
properly, but under all circumstances he was of opinion
that the present was not such a case as called for a con-
viction, and he should, therefore, dismiss the complaint.
BENEVOLENCE.—The Earl of C— sent SL, and
A. 8., Conduit-street, $l., for the poor-box.

UNION-HALL.

A respectable tradesman of the name of Dronsart,
carrying on business in the City, made an application to
the magistrate under the following circumstances :
Ile stated that he wus the brother of Fanny Dronsart,
a young female, who was charged, in conjunction with a
Frenchman named Charles Richart, with stealing a gold
watch and gold neck-chain, the property of a lady named
Williams, in Stamford-street, and that they were
examined at that court on Saturday ; that since then, he
(applicant) had had an inter view with his sister in the
county gaol, and that she there apprised him that while
they were under examination at that court oa the day
above specified, her fellow-prisoner (Richart) made a
confession of his guilt to her, said that he had taken the
watch and chain out of Miss Williams's drawer, and had
pledged the former article at the shop of Mr. Atten-
borough, the pawnbroker, in Fleet-street. The ap-
plicant added that he was persuaded his unfor •
tunate sister had no concern whatever in the robbery.
Mr. TRAILL said the charge was brought before his
colleague, Mr. Cottingham; that he was of opinion the
latter gentleman, would, under the circumstances just
mentioned, sanction her liberation on entering into her re-
cognisance to be present on Wednesday, the day ap-
pointed for the next examination. The magistrate then
directed Burridge, the chief usher, to proceed to Fleet-
street, and ascertain whether the watch was pledged, as
described, at the pawnbroker's.
The officer returned, and reported that the watch was
pledged on Monday last (the day on which it was stolen)
by a man answering the description of Richart.
Mr. TRAILL, upon this information, sent an order for
the liberation► of the applicant's sister from the county
gaol; and being afterwards brought up to this Court,
and the necessary bail being entered into, she left the
Court with her brother.

LAW AND BOL3ON.

At Nottingham, on Monday, Robert Lightfoot, the
station-master at Nottingham, was arraigned on the
Coroner's inquisition, for manslaughter, in causing the
death of John Dean, on the 21st November. He pleaded
not guilty.
The same prisoner, together with Raven, the Beeston
station-master, was then arraigned on the Coroner's in-
quisition, for the death of James Bolestridge. The bill
had been thrown out by the grand jury on Saturday.
The counsel for the prosecution having intimated thit be
did not consider there was evidence to support the
charge of manslaughter, the charge of course was
abandoned, and the parties immediately left the dock.
In the Court of Exchequer, a widow of the name of
Boyle, brought an action in ibrrna pauperis to recover
damages for the loss of services of her daughter, alleged
to have been occasioned by herseduction by Mr. Brandon,
cashier at the Atlas Fire and Life Insurance-office, King-
street, Cheapside. The jury, in a short time, returned a
verdict for the defendant.

At the New Court, Old Bailey, Joseph Smith, aged 11,
was indicted for stealing 123 farthings and other coins,
the property of Mr. Collyer, his master. He pleaded
guilty, and the Court respited its judgment.
Cornelius Sweeney, aged 18, was indicted for feloni-
ously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Richard Percival, on the 27th of November last, and
stealing therein sundry spoons and other articles of
plate, &c., his property. The jury found the prisoner
guilty of stealing, but not of breaking and entering.
Witnesies were then called and documents put in to
prove a previous conviction in Surrey, when the prisoner
was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. Mr. Com-
missioner Bullock now adjudged him to be transported
beyond the seas for seven years.
At Lambeth-street, the four men, Sandford, Priestley,
Robinson, and Saunders, who had been in custody for
several days, on a charge of stealing two bottles of
quicksilver, of the value of. 401., and substituting two
dummies filled with lead in their stead, were brought be-
fore Mr. Henry, for final examination. The evidence of
the witnesses, fourteen in number, was read over, and the
prisoners fully committed to take their trial at the pre-
sent session at the Central Criminal Court.

•.* The Bouquet Duke of York is the last new fashionable
perfume of the season 1844 ; but though the last, is not the least
i nperfection, AS it happily combines the preceding excellence of all
the royal bouquets, with the delicate and delicious fragrance of the

And stands upon the honour of his birth
If he suppose that I have pleaded truth—
From off this briar pluck a white rose with me.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY

CORN EXCHANGE.
Last week, the arrivals of wheat from our own coasts
were comparatively small, but those of Barley were mo-
derate. Of all other Grain, of home produce, the receipts
were scanty. With the exception of a fair supply of
foreign Barley, other Grain has come scantily to hand.
Fresh up, scarcely any Wheat was received coastwise,
while the stands were poorly supplied. For all descrip-
tions of both Red and White, the demand was very
steady, and a good clearance was effected at prices
fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight,
while many of the millers refused to buy, expecting
increased supplies. In free foreign Wheat a good bu-
siness was again doing, and most of the holders demanded
increased rates, which were not, however, submitted to.
Although the supply of Barley, particularly that of
foreign, was large, that article was in improved re-
quest, some large sales being concluded at full prices.
The Malt trade, though the supply of the article was
limited, ruled dull, at last week's figures. The larger
brewers appear to be holding off for better quality.
Scarcely any Oats have been received from any quar-
ter. The demand was steady but without any advance in
figures. Several vessels are close at hand from Ireland,
so that we may shortly expect a fair supply. Beans,
Peas, and Flour, without the slighest alteration.
