IN AZ DAVIS.

This bankrupt, who carried on business in Jermyn.street, as a
dealer in regimental and court dresses, came up to pass his last
examination, and was opposed. His debts were very considerable,
but the whole of his property had been taken under a levy.
The examination this morniag was principally confined to the
debt of the judgment creditor, a person named Samuels, whose
slain was for 1,553/. The insolvent said that he had given
Samuels bills to the amount of between 4,0001. and 5,000/., on
the latter promising to advance the amount to pay his creditors,
and he (insolvent) was to give security to pay 3001. a year and in-
terest, but he never had the advance. He had not kept any books
to explain the bill transactions, nor had he made out a detailed
account as between himself and Samuels.

The Learned Comwtsarowint said.that it was against reason to
expect that the bankrupt should pass on such accounts. The
bankrupt had carried on a large trade, and was bound to give a sa-
tisfactory account to his creditors.

Mr. LEWIS, for the bankrupt, said that the creditors were satis.
feed except the one who opposed.
__ _

The COMMISSIONER said that, supposing no one opposed, he
should not consider he was doing justice to the public to pass a
man and grant a certificate on such accounts, even though he was
able to pay 10s, in the pound. The present dispute, however,
would only, if favourable, bring in 3701. to the creditors, who, on
principle, ougnt not to ask for the bankrupt to pass; the whole
claim of 1,5531. might be founded on fraud.
The last examination was adjourned till the audit.
Mr. Lewis applied for the bankrupt's protection.
The Learned COMMISSIONER-.4 will grant it for a Month, and
let us see what he can do to clear lip the matter.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Cyprian Dgfort, Edward Johnson, and Edward Fuller were
placed at the bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with creating a die.
turbance in Betts' Chop House, in the Strand, and with assaulting
Mr. Dormer, the landlord of the house, and divers others of her
Majesty's subjects.

The landlord said that the prisoners came into his house last
night, about half past-eight o'clock, and called for a pot of porter,
which he gave them. They afterwards had other liquor, and one
of them became so drunk that he refused to give them any more.
At that moment, a stranger came in, and while he was waiting for
some drink which he ordered, he challenged a person who was
there when he came in to fight him. This person, a Mr. Jeffreys,
who did not appear this morning, said he did not want to fight, and
did his best to avoid a disturbance. The prisoners, however, en.
couraged the stranger, and endeavoured to force Mr. Jeffreys into
a quarrel. The stranger went away as soon as he had finished
what he had to drink, but the prisoners were bent on a fight, and
after endeavouring for some time to provoke a quarrel, they made a
gratuitous attack on several persons who were there.
Mr. Gillingham, who was present, and who had been attacked
by Johnson, corroborated the prosecutor's statement, as did the
waiter, who had likewise been assaulted.
The prisoners denied the truth of the statements made by the
prosecutor.

Mr. lieu, after dwelling at some length on the peculiarly aggra.
rated circumstances of the case, said he would fine Dufort 405.,
or in default 21 days' imprisonment ; he should fine Johnson 40s.
for the assault on Mr. Gillingham, one of the witcesses, and 40s.
for the assault on the waiter, or in default 21 days for each
offence. As the evidence• against Fuller was net distinct, he
should discharge him.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Walter Chambers, a well.dressed man, was charged by Mr. John
Christopher, the landlord of the Windmill public.house, in Lea.
ther.lane, with obtaining from him refreshment under false pre-
tences.

The prosecutor is the keeper of the tap connected with the
brewery of Messrs. Reid, and on Wednesday the prisoner, In com-
pany with three other men, entered his house, and, after stating
that they had been sent from the brewery, called for food, beer,
brandy, and tobacco. They were served to the amount of ss. 7d.,
and witness then, having some misgiving of them, went to Messrs.
Reid, and ascertained that no authority had been given to the pri-
soner to obtain the goods inquestion ; and when asked for payment
he bad "no effects." His companions, who were similarly
situated, left him in the lurch, and he was handed over to the police.
Mr. GREENWOOD said the conduct of the accused had been
wicked and disgraceful, but he had no jurisdiction in the matter.
It was merely a debt, and he reluctantly discharged him.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 7,000
bales, including 2,000 on speculation. Prices were steadily
I supported. Business:done-200 bales Maranham at 514 d. to
63/ d. ; Peruvian, at 614 d. to ; 100 Egyptian, at 6%d.
to 9d. ; 300 Surat, at 31,4 d, to 3%d. ; the rest American at
4d. to 6%d. per lb.
A fair business has been done in shares.
The Brazil mail brings no very important intelligence from
Rio, but in reference to the state of the money market and to
mercantile matters there is nothing particularly favourable
in them. Should the Minister succeed in his plans, some im-
provement may perhaps occur. The exchange was 24% to 25.
From Buenos Ayres the dates are of July 11, and here
there is doubtless food for reflection, since, if the accounts
are to be credited, we may expect the next arrival to bring in-
telligence of the cessation of hostilities at Monte Video, or the
commencement of them by the English and French squadrons
opposite Buenos Ayres.
We have some hope of an amendment, in the United States
tariff, if the following extract from a recent communication
dated New York is to be reliedon
"Every one must admit that the existing Tariff Act is very
defective, and many of its provisions are burdensome upon
the poorer classes, and many necessary articles consumeofi
almost exclusively by the lower classes are taxed with a very
high duty, while luxuries, consumed exclusively by the rich,
are entered at a comparatively low rate. Some of these
things should, and undoubtedly will, be remedied ; audit is
these defects that the present Secretary of the Trea-
sury is aiming to abolish. The principal object he
has in view is a complete revision of the tariff, and
whenever it is necessary, and can be done without sacrificing
revenue, to remove the high duty upon many articles, and
place it upon others that will produce about a corresponding
amount of revenue. There is plenty of room for the exer-
cise of the pruning-knife, and it is in judicious hands. The
organs of the two great political parties will find, soon after
the convention of Congress, that they have been more
frightened than hurt. The Tariff will, without doubt, during
the approaching Session of Congress, be perfected, and the
defects and abuses of the present Act be removed."
The Funds have been very flat this morning, and we quote
Consols % per cent. lower again, viz., 982 14 for present
transfer, and 98% % for Account. The premium on Ex-
chequer-bills has been 48s. to 495., being firm.
