BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY).

IN RE LOUIS COQUEREL.
The bankrupt, who up to yesterday had not sur-
rendered under the fiat, had been proprietor of the
Commercial Hotel, Leicester. square.
It will be in the recollection of the readers of The
Sun, that, on the 10th of August, the bankrupt ab-
sconded from Leicester-square, upon which day a
foreign gentleman, named Saclier, who was stop-
Vng at the Commercial Hotel, applied to the
ofice-Magistrate at .Marlborough-street, to whom
the stated that the bankrupt had robbed
"'ln of 13,000 francs and 801. in English
money, with other property. Placards were imme-
. cliately issued by M. Saclier, offering 1001. reward
for his apprehension, but he continued to evade the

This day being appointed for a proof of debts and
choice of assignees,
Sesse appeared to prove for money which it
t'as alleged had been fraudulently obtained by the
bankrupt. Sesse stated, through an interpreter,
that the bankrupt got possession of the money on the
ground of safe keeping from him, and almost imme-
diately afterwards paid it away in the City. It was
uged against M. Sesse's claim, that it was a case
ePlaing under the cognizance of the criminal law, and
that, therefore, he was not entitled to establish his
Pivot at proem.

Mr. Commissioner ForinLANQue said, in the evi-
dence adduced it was stated that the Police Magis-
trates and the Lord Mayor had refused to consider
the case as one of felony, and it would be therefore
unfair to refuse the claimant a remedy in this place.
Under those circumstances the charge, of felony was
so vague that he could not reject M. Sesse's right
to prove.
Several debts having been proved, most by fo-
reigners, the choice of assignees was proceeded with.

POLICE INTELLIG ENC E.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

William Moss, a cabman, was charged with drun-
kenness, and robbing his fare.
Police-constable 98 E, saw last night late a crowd
at the corner of Berners-street, and Oxford-street,
surrounding the prisoner and his cab. The prisoner
was partiallz* drunk, and a boy, inside was quite
senseless. } rom information received from the by-
standers he thought it his duty to take him to the
station-house. The boy was sent home by the inspector.
A witness proved that defendant had taken money
out of the boy's pockets while he was insensible.
The prisoner entered into a rambling defence, in the
course of which he admitted having received money
from a third party to take the boy home.
The Magistrate fined him 40s.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Owen Macarthy, Ellen Macarthy, and Ann
Shanahan, Irish basket people, were placed at the bar,
before Mr. Broughton, on a charge of having violently
assaulted Patrick Macabe, a dealer in old clothes, and
stolen from him a handkerchief and waistcoat.

Patrick Macabe stated that, on Monday evening,
when standing near Monmouth-street, the prisoners
severally came up and violently assaulted him.
They threw him down, and stripped him of his hand-
kerchief and waistcoat.. lie had his coat on 'at the
time.

The witness having been asked by the Magistrate
how he could be stripped of his waistcoat while wear-
ing his coat, seemed at first unable to give any other
answer except that he was an Irishman. He after-
wards said that the waistcoat was torn off his back.
ra,trick Quin confirmed a portion of his statement.

The prisoner Shanahan totally denied the charge.
Waddington, the gaoler, here stated that the com-
plainant was in the habit of bringing parties before
Magistrates on charges which were altogether unsus-
tained by evidence. He believed the complainant
had been transported many years ago for a highway
robbery.
The MAGISTRATE said that he could not believe the
statements of the complainant, and dismissed the charge.

Some days since intelligence appeared in The Sun
of the existence of a conspiracy in St. Petersburgh,
the object of which was the assassination of the Em-
peror of Russia. A Morning Contemporary
claiming priority of information, denied the
truth of this statement, inasmuch as it had
not first received it. The whole is now
confirmed by a party who has just arrived in
this country from thence. It appears that even now
the utmost precautions are observed about the pa-
laces, and so much distrust is exhibited, that it
is never accurately known one day where the
Emperor will be on the next, the guards
and attendants being as frequently changed. Arrests
are almost hourly taking place, or suspected indivi-
duals arriving in custody from the provinces for exa-
mination and the numbers which have already been
sent to Siberia are said to be extremely great. It is
stated that the ramifications of this plot have been ascer-
tained to have extended almost throughout.the whole
empire, and to have caused the utmost alarm, as it
has not yet been fully developed. It may appear ex-
traordinary that the particulars have not been made
more generally public, but the three-fold danger which
attends correspondence from Russia, renders indivi-
duals excessively cautious as to what is written.
