large debt due to his brother. The trade assignee com-
plained of the bankrupt's ccnduct, not only in not ren-
dering an account as directed by the Court, but that he
had grossly insulted him. It was said that he was still in
a good business, and his wife had a large private income.
The bankrupt now denied his previous admission of
the removal of property belonging to him. He said it
was not his. He, however, admitted having gut rid of
one horse, but he offered to pay the value.
The COURT said that if ha did so the certificate would
be allowed, not else.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Joseph Upton, who said he was by trade a black-
smith, but was now in service as waiter at a public-
house, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine,
charged with an assault on the waiter at the " Cider
Cellars" public-house.
From the waiter's statement, corroborated by that of
the landlord, Mr. Rose, and of policeman F 55, it ap-
peared that the prisoner went into the Cider Cellars at
a late hour last night, and asked for some liquor, but
as he was already drunk they refused to serve
him. At this he took offence, and proceeded to
vindicate his wounded honour by practising the
art of self-defence upon the unoffending waiter,
It must not be supposed, however, that the prisoner
showed any partiality in the distribution of his favours,
in which the landlord was not forgotten, for the latter
would no doubt have received even a greater share than
the waiters but for the interference of policeman F 55.
The prisoner said he remembered nothing of what
had occurred, and pleaded the usual excuse of drunkenness.

Mr. JARDINE fined him 75., and, in defaulC(ior;lrefi;;
was not paid), sentenced him to 14 days' imprisonment.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE,

There was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day: sales nearly: 5,000 bales. Prices were steadily sup-.
ported, but there was no demand. Cotton wag not so freely
offered. There was rather less done in shares, but prices
generally were firm.
It is scarcely necessary further to refer to the conflict of
statements pro and con. made by the Time: and the Standard
on the subject of the corn•laws. All now that is demanded
by the merchant, manufacturer, and the tradesman, is that
en early statement of the intentions of the Ministers should
be made known at the earliest practicable period. Until
then trade and commerce must languish.
A point connected with railway projects, where new lines
have been started, but where the letters of allotment were
not issued, before the first Bank notice was circulated, de-
mands attention. Upon the faith of the respectabi-
lity cf a host of applicants for allotments the managing
committees have incurred expenses for advertisements
surveys, officers, clerks, &c. The expenses must be paid ;
and under the new law all the promoters are liable, as
well as those who have undertaken to accept the whole of
the shares asked fir, or any lesser number the various com-
mittees have alloted. Promptly ought the applicants for
shares to perform their duty, so as to prevent law-suits.
Escape from liability there is none.
There are not any late colonial or other arrivals in the
City to-day.
A report is current that an individual connected with a
savings' bank in the northern part of the metropolis, has
committed suicide under peculiar circumstances. At the
Coroner's inquest appointed to be held, we are told, this

flat at 114 to 112, Spanish at; 27k, and the Three
