LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 184 i.

a the case of Mr. Gums, formerly an " eminent
bill-discounter and money broker"---in the parlance
of the day, an " attorney and scrivener," profes-
sionally speaking—we observe that Mr. Commis-
sioner HOLROYD has refused the bankrupt his cer-
tifica'e. To those who will not be at the trouble
of reading the report of this judgment, the decision of
his Honour may appear somewhat harsh. We confess,
with pain, that we think it a most righteous and salutary
decision. Without the slightest desire to bear hardly
upon the unfortunate individual, who has been thus re-
fused an indulgence which the law rarely withholds from
parties in his situation, we must say that Mr. GIBBS is
but one representative of a class of bill and money-
dealers, the whole of whom it would he well for the in-
terests of society to see removed and absolutely shut out
from any further pursuit of their calling. What can
be expected by the victims who advance moneys for
profitable investment to the custody or employment of a
man vi ho raises other moneys for his own us'-, at the
enormous and most avaricious rate of 40, 50, and 60 per
cent. interest ? Mr. Commissioner lioLaoitip declined to
enter into the consideration of the question, whether, in
these days, when bankers and brokers are as plentiful as
blackberries, there be a necessity for permitting the
business of a scrivener (the ancient substitute for both
the one and the other) to be any longer carried on. We
are sorry that his Honour did not go into this question.
If the "no necessity," which his observation thus
glanced at, were once made out, on such authority, to
the sati►faction of the Legislature, we should not have
another session of Parliament pass by, without getting
rid of a whole colony of legal vultures, who, at present,
less honest or more prudent than Mr. GIBBS, raise
fortunes for themselves on the ruined fortunes of other
men—their clients or their customers. Every hour in
the dgy one may see men reclining at their ease in their
carriages, with unabashed and insolent effrontery, who
have stepped into them only by means of the basest
chicanery, and the most profligate turpitude which
cunning bad men can commit, within the safe limits of
the law. Every day the public journals teem with re-
ports of cases, in which improvident young men, the
absolute possessors of property, or entitled to it in re

version or expectancy, are found to be irretrievably
ruined by their unhappy connexions with diseountilg
attorneys, or " accommodating" money brokers' agents.
The exigencies of the moment, relieved by consenting to
enormous and utterly unwarrantable sacrifices, is conti-
nued by a series of " accommodations" (as they are
termed in bitter irony), extended through some months,
or one, two, three years, as the case may be, but surely
terminating in the permanent ruin of the deluded bor-
rower. He is tempted by the offers of a " discount"—
he is played with, and his business is delayed until that
which was but an inconvenience, more or less grave, be-
comes an inexorable necessity. In proportion as his
wants assume this formidable and imperative shape, the
cost of relief, the amount of the sacrifices to be made,

• are carefully and cruelly enhanced. Thus he is led on
; till a knife may be said to be at last put into his hand
wherewith he is compelled to cut the throat of his own
' fortunes, absolute or contingent, and not for his own re-
lief after all, but for the benefit of the callous usurers
who have brought him to this moral suicide. Look at
the case of the creditor of GIBBS, resident at Ostend.
Whether designedly or inadvertently, we know not—but
actually, it is evident, one of Mr. Ginns's most
unfortunate victims—his embarrassments have been
extended, his anxieties accumulated, the penalties of his
misfortunes trebled and quadrupled by a species of tor-
ment greater and more exquisite (we hope for the
honour of the old Greek " Onyth ") than any. which
TANTALUS himself experienced. Forced to live out of
his native country—constantly applying to GIBBS for
more prompt and for larger remittances—amused by
the scrivener with driblets only, doled out from time to
time, to keep him quiet and prevent his importunate
harking—this unfortunate man appears to have been
compelled to play the part of a useful but unrewarded
puppet in GIBBS'S bands. Then he makes applications
to limns, under GIBBS'S instructions, for advances of
money, which money GIBBS obtains from third parties
on the strength and exhibition of those applications:
bills are drawn to carry out the appearances needful to
give a genuine character to the scrivener's proceedings.
Bi Is are discounted in one batch to the tune of 5,0004
The proceeds (4,800 b and upwards) are actually re-
mitted to the Ostend victim, and he is obliged to go
through the tragic farce of returning them, sub rosa, to
GIBBS, on receiving another similar remittance from
that party, SQ as to withdraw the bank-notes trans-
mitted for the first transaction, those of the second
being submitted to a similar course of operations, and
then—converted into gold; the poor gentleman at
Ostend all the while deriving precisely as little benefit
from this evidence of the convertibility of the bank
paper into bullion on demand, as this country has ex-
perienced from Sir ROBERT PEEL'S convertibility nos-
trum in the working of its currency system—•that is, he
gains a loss.

We earnestly hope that this remarkable judgment will
be extensively perused and studied. We know of no
more disorganising and demoralising influence, affecting
the peace and welfare of society in this country, than
the practices of these money-lending and bill discount-
ing attorneys of whom we speak.

Letters from Tripoli state that if the Ottoman Govern-
ment had ever entertained any idea of an expedition
against Tunis, it had now finally abandoned it. Two
French ships of war still remained at Tripoli.

Madrid papers of the 14th and 15th have been

received.

In answer to an address from the Commissioners of
the Mercantile Society of Madrid, praying for a modifi-
cation of the the tariff, the Minister of Finance stated
that it was his intention during the ensuing session to
present a project of law on the tariff to the Cortes.

The QUEEN and her Mother left St. Sebastian for
Mondragon on the 16th. The Infante Luise remained
at St. Sebastian.

General CAMINERO had orders to remove to Almeira
He,aldo mentions that several merchants and shop-
keepers called at its office, and stated that if the Minister
of Finance did not yield to their complaints, or make
some modification in the new law of taxation, they would
close their establishment. It disapproves of the measure
contemplated by them, and advises them to lay their case
before the Cortes as soon as they meet, and in the mean-
time make every effort with the Minister.
General O'DONNELL refuses to give to the English
Commissioners at the Havannah a house for the use of
the freed negroes. Ile maintains, that it is to the
Mixed Commission, and not to the English portion of
it, that the house is to be given, instead of the old three-
decker.

According to the Ticmpo, Don N. PRATS, the uncle
of General fart, had bet n arrested.
Great dissatifaction is expressed in all the papers at
the arbitrary conduct of NARVAEZ. With one excep-
tion, the whole press is against the NARVAEZ Ministry,
ar.d it is thought probable by the well-informed that
some modification of its composition is at hand.

The 15th, being the feast of Assumption, was kept as a
holiday at the Bourse.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
They contain intelligence from Leipsic to the 16th,
up to which day everything had continued quiet there.
There is, in fact, owing to the precautions adopted by
the municipal authorities, but little probability that the
tranquillity of the city will again be interrupted. The
Municipal Council has published a proclamation, recom-
mending the communal guard and students to continue
acting together in maintaining tranquillity, inasmuch as
it is highly important that the news of the restoration of
order should reach foreign countries quickly, in order
that the interests of the fair of St. Michel should not be
compromised.

A statement appears in the Cuurrier du Havre to
the effect that Queen VICTORIA would visit King Louis
PHILIPPE at Eu, on her way back to England from
Germany.

A tremendous hurricane raged on Tuesday, which
did great damage at Paris and at Rouen. It is stated
that at Rouen 200 persons had been killed or wounded
by the blowing down of a large factory.

THE BONE-CRUSHING CASE AT ANDOVER.--It IS
a curious circumstance that, on account of the late exposure at
Andover, the price of bones has fallen from 3s. 6d. to 2s. 6d.
per cwt. in Winchester, and several other towns. The chief
source of supply to the former has been sent from Winchester,
and on Tuesday last a contractor sent over twenty-two cwt. to
the workhouse, the purchase of which was, however, declined,
with an intimation that no more would be received. It may be
observed that the workhouse at Andover was chiefly supplied
with bones front Winchester, and that these being principally
from the barracks, are what are called " barrack 3 ones," and
that, in consequence of the quantity of marrow, fat, gristle, &c„
which they contain, they are esteemed of much greater value
than common bones. Sometimes they are sent over fresh, but
at other times in quite a raecid state. The parish of Andover
used to purchase the bones at 3s. 6d. per cwt., and after
they had been broken by the paupers into " chump bones" they
were disposed of for agricultural purposes the parish receiving
the profits. The practice of bone-crushing bay been discon-
tinued at the Winchester union poor-house.

THE SUN, •LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1845.

MARKET NE WS -(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Since Saturday.last the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market coastwise. as well as by land-carriage and sample,
have been on a somewhat extensive scale for the time of year
—they having amounted to nearly 10.000 quarters. Fresh up
to day, only a moderate quantity of that description of grain
came to hand, yet the number of samples on offer was large.
From nearly all parts of the country, our reports, respect-
ing the progress of harvest work, are more favourable, owing
to which, and the settled appearance of the weather, to day,
there was little or no disposition evinced' to purchase
hence, the demand was in a sluggish state ; yet the
factors would not sell, except at prices equal to those
paid on Monday, and a clearance was not effected.
There was no New Wheat on sale, but several parcels are
expected from Essex on Monday next. The imports of
Foreign Wheat have been only moderate, viz , 10,610 quar-
ters ; but several vessels are reported to have passe t the
Sound, grain-laden, for England. Although the quantity
brought forward was not to say large, the millers purchased
with extreme caution, and we have no alteration to notice
in value. The duty declined yesterday to 18s. per quarter.
In Corn, under lock, scarcely any sales took place, the spe-
culators refusing to conclude transactions during the pre-
sent uncertain state of things. Several large parcels of fo-
reign Barley have been lately released for home consumption.
Scarcely any English Barley Was on show, butlhat of Foreign
was somewhat on the increase. For nearly every kind,
especially for grinding parcels, the sale was steady, and pre-
vious rates were readily supported. The receipts of Malt are
rather on the increase, upwards of 4,000 quarters having
been received this week. We had a fair retail demand for
fine season -made at fully late prices ; other kinds were quite
as dear. From Ireland, as well as from foreign ports, rather
a large quantity of Oats has reached us this week. This had
a depressing influence upon the trade, and prices were barely
supported. Beans, Peas, and Flour were a slow inquiry, at
late rates. The parcels of New Seeds on show were deficient
in quality; hence higher rates were demanded for select qua.
lities. In Old Seeds next to nothing was doing.

The supply of Beasts was, the time of year considered,
moderately extensive, though the quality was by no means
first rate. Generally speaking, the Beef trade was exceed-
ingly heavy, at, ha some instances, a slight depression in the
quotations. From Holland we received 40 Oxen and Cows;
and from Scotland 240 Scots in good condition. The num-
bers of Sheep were by no means large, yet the sale for them
was heavy, and the inferior kinds declined 2d. per Bibs.
Lambs were a mere drug, on easier terms. The Veal trade
was heavy, at a decline of 2d per 81bs. Pigs moved off
freely, at full prices. Milch Cows sold at from 161 to 191
each, including their small Calf.

Since our last report rather unfavourable advices have
reached us from parts of Kent and Sussex, relative to the
appearance of the hop vine. The demand has, in consequence,
become firm, at an advance in the quotations of from ss. to

SPGAR.—West India sorts have been in good request, and
full rates have been realised. Privately the transactions have
been extensive, and at auction U 5 hhds. Barbadoes sold at
545. for fine yellow, 525. to 535. for mid., and 48s. to 495. for
low. 191 hlids. Trinidad sold at 50s. for mid greyish. The
general value of brown sorts is 445. to 475., and of yellow

EAST INDlA.—Mauritius is scarcer, and at very full prices
find ready buyers privately. brown is 40s. to 465., yellow
475. to 575. per cwt. Bengal also is dearer, 2,434 bags at
auction went at 475. to 50s. 6d. for low yellow date kinds, at
525. for mid, and at 51s. 6d. for mid. sound greyish. Dobah,
good strong grainy has been sold at 60s. 6d. to 61s.
FOREIGN has met with tree purchasers. Good white Havan-
nah at 41s for 1,200 boxes, and 32s for old white Bahia.
Pernambuco also bad a fair sale.
REFINED.—Firm prices have been realised, there being a
good trade doing. Standard Lumps have been 68s 6d

COFFEE.—British Plantation descriptions have been at
full rates, but there has not been much doing. Jamaica has
been sold at 37s to 82s and 120 s for ord to fine. Ceylon
is in improved request, and still creeps up. Privately,
Plantation descriptions have been sold at 60s to 965, and
at auction fine ord and mid greyish have realised 63s to
80s, and good ord pale 48s to 48s 6d per cwt. About 6,000 bags
Padang have been offered publicly, and sold well, good ord
greenish mixed at 28s to 28s 6d, and good ord brown at 28s
fid to 29s per cwt. Company's Java, good bold sound even
yellow has realised 525. 'There were 1,000 bags low good
Oil St. Domingo sold at 335, and 173 bags La Guayra were
mostly taken in at 72s for good mid, and 40s for brown. Rio
has been sold at 30s to 32s for ord, and at 54s for middling
ccdoury.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bags, including 1,000 on speculation, and 500 for export,
with a steady market.—There was a dull market for Shares,
and prices were lower.
It appears by the private accounts from Brazil, that the
increased duties upon British manufactures are not at all
likely to be levied, for the Chambers had absolutely rejected
the proposition, and there is a prospect of matters being
even now accommodated between us, provided our Cabinet
should not prove so entirely blind to the interests of this
country as to reject the overtures made to it by the Govern-
ment at Rio. The state of the trade between both countries
is not by any means brisk just now.
The Funds have been rather firmer, and as far as the
weather is concerned, there seems no longer to be any appre-
hension, so potent is the influence of sunshine. Consols have
realised 991 y to 9914. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been marked 102% 3/4, the Three per Cents.
993/4 to Bank Stock is worth 211 to 2111,, and South
Sea Stock, 112. Exchequer-bills have touched 50s. to 525.
premium. Nothing but the effect of the sales making by
the Accountant-General in Chancery prevents a rise in prices. '
The Foreign Investments have been somewhat livelier.
Spanish Three per Cents. are steady at 384 ; and the Five
Cents. at about 271/e. Mexican Bonds bring 35 to 351 .
Colombian realise 17% 3/4. Brazilian are 90 ; and Peruvian
33 to 39 t,2, Dutch Four per Cents. arc 10014 %.
Shares are better as respects nearly all the railways. The
old lines have improved as much as the Scrips, and this is
decidedly the most buoyant day of the week. The French
lines have also been better.

NAVAL STORES.—A new form of bond has been
instituted and approved, to be entered into by parties re-
moving goods and merchandise of various kinds from the
bonding warehouses of the docks to her Majesty's ships of
war, for the use of the officers, as their stores. The form of
bond, after mentioning that a party is bound by a certain
sum, to be specified, to her Majesty, her heirs, &c., sets forth
that he is the proprietor of the goods, &c., subsequently
mentioned, and which are lodged and deposited in a ware-
house or warehouses in the port of London, under the regula-
lations of an Act passed in the 3(1 and 4th years of Wm. IV.,
entitled, " An Act for the Warehousing of Goods," and that
the said party intends to remove and convey the said articles
from the warehouses mentioned, and to put the same on
board a certain ship, being one of her Majesty's ships of
war, for the use of certain of the officers of such ship, sub-
ject to the rules, regulations, and restrictions in that be-
'half by law provided, and pronounces the condition of this
bond or obligation to be such, that if the said goods, stores,
and merchandise, and every part thereof, shall be duly deli-
vered, without alteration or diminution, on board her Majesty's
ship of war, the name of the ship and the part at which she is
lying being distinctly stated, and if a certificate, signed by the
proper officer or purser of the ship, shall be produced within
fourteen days from the date thereof to the collector and comp-
troller of customs, certifying that the said goods have been de-
livered into the custody of the proper officers on board the ship,
then the bond or obligation is to be void, otherwise to remain
in full force, vigour, and effect. It is understood that this
form of bond simply applies to contracts for the supply of
stores for the use of her Majesty's ships of war from the bond-
ing warehouses of the docks, for the use of the officers of such
ships when in commission or otherwise, and not in respect of
goods quarterly contracted for, and supplied to her Majesty's
victualling yard at Deptford, for the general use of the naval
department.
FATAL. CHAISE ACCIDENT.—Last evening Mr. W.
Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on the
body of Wm. Staines, aged 43, a carver and gilder, of Charles-
street, Hoxton. On Monday night last, between nine and ten
o'clock, a gentleman named Coburn was driving a four-wheeled
chaise, drawn by one horse, ace mpauied by Mr. Pryor, a
surgeon, through Pitfield-street, Hoxton, on their road from
Edmonton, when the horse, which was given to shying, took
fright at something in the road, and before Mr. Coburn could
pull him up, the chaise came in contact with a cab, by which
Mr. Coburn and his friend were thrown out, and the horse,
which had broken away from the chaise, ran against the
deceased, who was passing along the pavement, and threw him
violently to the ground, and fractured several of his ribs. He
was removed to the above hospital, in which he expired the
same night, from injury to the lungs, caused by the accident.
Verdict, " Accidental death," with a deodand of 151. upon the
horse.

CRICKET.—THE GENTLEMEN or SURREY V. THE
PLAYERS or SURREY.—Many years have passed away since
Surrey, as a county in its own district, has been heard of ;
indeed, the only occasion when it has been brouv,ht into the
field of late was last season at Lord's v. the hlarylebone Club.
But then it was not Surrey alone. The present match, there-
fore, has been got up as the first step towards the foundation
of a Surrey club. The gentlemen, yesterday, when they
had a.sembled on the new ground, Kennington-oval, found that
they were unexpectedly short of two or three members of their
eleven, in consequence of the compulsory absence of Mr. Pon-
Forihy and Mr. Randolph. The numbers were consequently
made up by as many members of the Montpelier Club, which
meets at this ground. The match was commenced by the
Gentlemen. The score was as follows when the stumps were
drawn for the day :—The Gentlemen, 127; the Players, 16.
SHOCKING MURDIIKS AT VIENNA.—A letter from

the capital of Austria, dated August 9, says :—" Two exe-
crable crimes have, within this last fortnight, been committed
in this city and the environs. Two days ago a couple of
hussars, attracted by the seeming wealth of an old Jew, waylaid
him on the high-road, and strangled him; but found their
booty to amount only to the paltry sum of 31 florins (about 31. )
The next morning the booty was found, and suspicion falling
on the two hussars, they were arrested. On the same day a
journeyman watchmaker was taken for the murder of an old
man, a septuagenarian. It seems the old man was in the habit
of wearing some articles of jewellery, of slight value, but suffi-
cient to attract the cupidity of the murderer, who found means
to introduce himself into the room occupied by the old man,
killed him, and, seizing some objects of value, endeavoured to
effect his escape. The cries of the deceased had, however,
been heard by a woman dwelling in the same house, whogave
the alarm, and the police arriving, the murderer was seized
almost on the threshold of the room of his victim."— Consti-
tutionnel.

A cemetery is about to t.e- formed at Dudley, in
Wolverhampton-street, Worcester. The ground, comprising
part of the ields and gardens between there and the Castle
bounds, in extent about ten acres, with a frontage of 100 yards
to the main street, is given by Lord Ward.
EXETER.—.Native silver ore, of a very rich qua-
lity, has recently been discovered in the East Coombe Silver
and Lead Mine, in the parish of Stembridge, in this county ;
and the pro,pects generally are very fl at tor ng.— §lterburne
