tion, his Lordship having largely patronised the
" kite flying" system. A great many creditors en-
tered opposition, but upon the Registrar calling out
the name of Lord George Loftus, and inquiring if
any of them appeared in opposition, no answer was
returned.

Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said, upon looking over
the insolvent's schedule he perceived a great number
of the persons who had lodged detainers against him
had been paid their demands. Lord George Loftus
replied that such was the case.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS—Are you a married
or single man? Lord George Loftus —I am single.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS,—Have you any pro-
perty in your possession now ? Lord George Loftus
—None, except the few articles of clothing which are
at the prison, and which I believe are termed the
excepted articles. There were several boxes, an d a quan-
tity of jewellery left by him at the Hotel de l'Europe,
at Brussels, in 1840, when he went last on the Conti-
nent, and/the hotel-keeper had charge of them for a
time. He was not indebted to the person, who had
since removed to the Hague, and he (Lord G. Loftus)
had been unable to trace him since ; consequently the
property could not be made available to his creditors.
He had been now eleven months in prison.
Mr. COOKE, who appeared on behalf of the insolvent,
said there was an immense number of creditors upon
bills of exchange, for which no value had been given,
and the Marquis of Ely, a short time ago, paid
13,200/. to those who might have been considered as
bona fide creditors of his son.

His Lordship, after some further discussion, was
declared entitled to be discharged as an insolvent
debtor, after he had amended his schedule by dis-
closing the nature of the property which he stated
to have been taken to the Hague, the Court at the
same time declaring that its appropriation at present
was out of their jurisdiction.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

John Bryant, Stephen Wright, Thomas Hunt,
John Crutchley, Charles Phillips, Eliza Pritchard,
Henry Howard, Thos. Shell, Wm. Brown, Wm.
Fawcett, Joseph Ewart, and Barney Welsh, twelve
miserable-looking ragged urchins, were placed at the
bar, charged with bleeping under the arches at the
Adelphi.
The policeman who took the prisoners into custody
fully proved the charge.,
The prisoners, in their defence, said some of them
that they had bad-hearted fathers, who constantly
"whipped" them ;
.others, that they had fathers-in-
law, who did the same ; and some that they had no
fathers at all. .

The majority of the prisoners have been at this office
before. Their sleeping in the manner charged was
not from destitution, but acquired bad habits.
They were sentenced to various terms of imprison-
ment, varying from eight to fourteen days Beach.

MARK-ET NEWS.

(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Since our report on this day se'nnight, we have re-
ceived a very moderate time-of-year supply of Eng-
lish Wheat, coastwise as well as by land carriage,
and samples, and we had scarcely any put up to-day,
from either Essex or Kent.

The stands being very poorly supplied, and the
attendance of both town and country buyers rather
more ,numerous ithan of late, we have to report a
somewhat improved inquiry for all descriptions, and
the sales concluded were fully equal to those noted on
Monday last, while a fair clearance was effected.
There was rather more inquiry for fine Foreign
Wheat at full rates of currency ; but in bonded
parcels scarcely anything was doing. The
duty still remains at 20s. per quarter. We
had another heavy market for Barley, and the
quotations receded is per quarter from last week.
Foreign Barley was little sought after. Good Ware
Malt was taken by the dealers at last currencies; but
the middling and, inferiori kinds were mending, and
might have been purchased on easier terms.
From Ireland, about 25,000 quarters of Oats
have come to hand ; but the arrivals of that article
-from Scotland and our own coasts have been small.
The best Potatoe kinds maintained their value, but
other kinds were 6d per quarter lower. Beans and
Peas were very dull, and mostly is per quarter
cheaper. The Flour trade was inactive, at about sta-
tionary prices.
