BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GouLEur.N.)
IN RE GLOVER.
Miss Mary Ann Glover, described in the schedule as other-
wise Mary Roberts (the daughter of the celebrated actress),
came up on her petition for an interim order.
Her debts were about 570/. There was no opposition, aNd
the interim order was granted without the insolvent being
examined.

OBBARD AND OTHERS V. RUDD.
This defendant who had carried on business as a plumber
and glazier, at Beckenham•place, Denmark-hill, attended on
a summons obtained at the suit of the plaintiff's, who are
glass merchants, to show cause why he had not paid the sum
of 10/. due from him. _ _ . .

.......
The plaintiff's solicitor said that he had no doubt the
Learned Commissioner would consider this a case in which
the power of commitment should be exercised. The facts
were, that the defendant had attended before a Judge at
Chambers, and admitted the justice of the plaintiffs' demand,
but shortly afterwards he assigned over the whole of his pro-
perty to his son.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said if that was proved, it was
unquestionably a gross fraud.
The defendant having been sworn, admitted that he had
made the assignment for money previously advanced by his
son. The property was worth 70!. or 801.
The Learned CO3IMISSIONER said that it was a very
flagrant case that a man having property to such an amount
should make away with it after he had admitted there was
a justl claim against him. He would therefore be committed
for forty days to the county prison.
The defendant entreated to be allowed to make terms with
the plaintiffs.
The plaintiff's solicitor said they were not disposed to in-
terfere with the course of the law.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said the insolvent had acted
with great dishonesty, and he ought to be made an ex-
ample of.
The defendant was immediately taken into custody by one
of the messengers.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The;attention of the Committee of Management of
this Company having been directed to a paragraph in the
Times of the IGth instant, respecting the insertion of the
name of Lord Charles Wellesley, I am instructed by them to
state their deep regret that the mistake has occurred by the
unintentional wrong designation of a member of the same
family, the Hon. Lord Viscount Wellesley. The error will
be rectified in all future advertisements and prospectuses ;
orders to withdraw those already in circulation having been
immediately given.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
J. T. MILLER, Solicitor to the Company.

Dated London, 18th October, 1845.
P.S. A similar notice, but not as an advertisement, was
sent to the editor of the Times on the day the paragraph in
question appeared, by the Secretary of the Company, but
which has not yet been inserted in that journal.—J. T. M.

ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM ACORRRSPONDENT. )

MEDINA IiIVER IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.

The promoters of this measure subscribed about 1,4001. to
forward it, the whole of which was swallowed up in surveys
and in introducing the Bill into Parliament. The opposition
to it was found to be so great that there was no chance of
carrying it, and it was withdrawn at the second reading, and
the subject was now almost forgotten, when the different
subscribers received a printed notice from the solicitors to
the Company, informing them for the first time that their
Bill amounted to 901./. 35., and they required an immediate
settlement, and appointing a meeting at the Town-hall,
Newport, to arrange it. This has caused no little sensation
amongst the unfortunate shareholders.

WOOD GOODS.—The Commissioners of the Customs
having had under their consideration a memorial from an
eminent firm, importers of wood goods, requesting that all
deals exceeding 21 feet in length may be in future delivered
upon an average quantity of the whole contents of each pile,
without reference to numbers, instead of being required to
enter the exact quantity and endorse the particular numbers
of the deals upon the locker's order, by which practice great
delay and additional expense are occasioned, and the Board
being of 'opinion that there is no objection to the delivery of
deals exceeding 21ft. in length, in the same way as fir tim-
ber, upon an entry being passed for a given quantity, speci-
fying the number in loads, the locker on the part of the
revenue taking care to deliver to the extent of that quantity
only, observing to endorse the number and contents of each
deal on the back of the order, and to carry forward any small
surplus in the delivery (not exceeding the contents of one
deal) to the subsequent order, until the whole parcel be de-
livered; and the Commissioners having further had under
their notice a report from their principal officers as to the
directions which it may be necessary to issue with a view to
give effect to the Treasury Order recently issued, approving
of the fractional parts of a foot, less than 3 inches, being
rejected in future in measuring deals in bulk ; and their
surveyors general having submitted that their officers may
be informed, that in the measurement of deals, battens, &c.,
in bulk, in future, the fractional parts of a foot, less than 3
inches, in taking the lengths of the piles, are to be rejected,
in conformity with the existing practice observed with
respect to deals, &c, exceeding 21 feet, when measured
singly; and further, that where the pile consists of four
great hundred deals or planks, or of six great hundred boards
or battens, and upwards, the fractional parts of a foot, less
than 3 inches; are also to be rejected in taking the width
and height—it has been resolved by the Board that these
several propositions and recommendations are approved, and
directions have been issued to the revenue officers of the
several departments in London and at the various outports
of the United Kingdom, to govern themselves accordingly
with respect to all future importations of these descriptions
of wood goods.

CRYPT OF EXETER CATHEDRAL. It is asserted that
the crypt of Exeter Cathedral is used as the bishop's wine cellar!
We shall be glad to hear that the statement is untrue. —The
Builder.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, OCT. 17.—The sup.
ply of wheat is large, and only limited of other grain. We had
not much business done in wheat to-day, but holders were very
Sim, and prices of old wheat were rather higher. In new wheat
no alterat on from last week ; damp parcels were difficult to quit.
New barley sold freely at late rates; grinding Is. per qr. dearer.
Beans were held for more money. Oats and shelling each valu-
kble at a slight advance. Fine malt is extremely scarce, and Is.
per load higher.

Tre Directors of the London and Brighton
Railway Company have made a proposition to the Postmaster-
General to convey mailbags to and from London and Brighton by
every train, without any additional expense. It is hoped that
Government will avail itself of this very liberal offer; in which
case, this town will be placed on the same footing as the metropolis
with its two.penny post delivery.—Brighten Herald.
TEE LAST DAY.—Friday, October the 10th, was
the day fixed on by Prophet Dealtry and his companions for the
consummation of all things. The sun has passed the meridian,
and the day already begins to decline. We have no token what.
ever that these presumptuous men had any foundation for their fa-
natical ravings. One of them at least appeared to be honest; but
we have some difficulty in absolutely believing that, because the
same parties have fixed on three successive years, and after quitting
one scene of delusion, have broke ground in a new place with a
new period. Our Ashburton correspondent reports that they
passed through Ashburton last evening, three men anal one
woman, bound to the north of England, where very likely we shall
hear of them before long, They seem to b 3 too anxious to escape
from the scene of their western mission.—Western Times.
FOREIGN CATTLE.—Another prime lot of Spanish
bullocks-28 in number, consigned to Messrs. a. Treeby and Co.—
arrived here on Friday last, from Corunna, and were landed at the
Commercial Wharf, ex the schooner Isabella. They were sold at
auction on the following Tuesday.—Plymouth Journal.
Don Carlos and the Princess of Beira left Nice on the 6th for
Genoa, where they will decide upon their place of residence.
The postal reform, recently made in Austria, is about to be
extended on a much larger scale. A double tariff, one of twelve
kreutzers for the greatest distance, and the other of six kreutzers
for the shorter lines, was the basis of- the first reform. It is now
said that the one is to be reduced to eight, and the other to three
kreutzers. If this be done, ti:e rate of p, staff eof letters will be
less in Austria than in any other part of the continent.
