INSOLVENT CO URT—(T HIS DAY.)
IN RE WILLIAM AUGUSTUS JAMES.
The insolvent was a boot and shoemaker, carrying on
an extensive business in Exmouth-street, Clerkenwell,
and also having another establishment at No. 1, Union-
street, Middlesex Hospital. His application to be dis-
charged was supported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed by
Mr. Woodruffe on behalf of two creditors, named Bright
and Shaw.
It appeared from Mr. Bright's evidence, that ha
bought the insolvent's interest in the house and business
in Union-street, the latter covenanting to pay a portion
of the rent and other demands on the premises. Mr.
Shaw was landlord of those premises, and judgment
having been issued against the insolvent upon the Sheriff
levying execution, the goods and stock were found to bo
taken possession of under a previous execution, issued
by Mr. Wm. Cleaver, for the sum of 2831. The Learned
Counsel, in opposition, contended that this latter execu-
tion was not bona fide, and that the insolvent had said,
if his creditors refused to come to, a settlement with him,
he would pay them at the expense of the public, by
coming into this Court.
The evidence was then gone into, upon which the in-
solvent-was taken back to prison, the Learned Commis-
sioner having refused to enlarge his bail.
IN RE THOMAS SKINNER.
The insolvent, who had been already heard in Court,
and the particulars of the case reported in The Sun, came
up for judgment this day.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, after expressing
his opinion that the insolvent had been guilty of gross
fraud, and regretting that the most stringent provisions
of the Act could not ,be enforced against him, finally
ordered him to be discharged.

flatness in the trade, and in some instances sales were,
made on lower terms.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.
Tho price of admission to this delightful summer
evening lounge is now reduced to one shilling. Last
evening was the first of the season in which the
Gardens have been thrown open to what John
Wilson Croker calls " the shilling public." " The
shilling public" testified its approbation of the new
arrangement by a very numerous attendance. The gar-
dens were brilliantly illuminated. and shortly after eight
o'clock the concert commenced. This was succeeded by
the equestrian performances in the Rotunda, in the
course of which Mademoiselle Caroline elicited thendcrs
of. applause by her series of elegant and graceful exer-
cises on two horses. Why are not these equestrian e%'
erciscs exhibited in the open air ? There is ample
space in the gardens for an arena, and the Ro-
tunda is so small, that not half of thus
It,
who visit the gardens can find accommodation in
and of those who do, the greater portion repent than
of their good fortune before the performances are over.
. and are even more desirous of getting out, on account,
of the suilbcating heat, than they had been °I
getting in ; but such is the close packing, that egress
is impossible. After the equestrian perfortuanes
came the wonderful slack-rope exercises of the "Flemish
Sprite of Antwerp," decidedly the first slack-rope pe.r'
former that has appeared since the days of Antonio.
The most extraordinary performance of the evening, 1/115
the ascent on the inclined rope of Julie Dyke. This young
lady who does not appear more than sixteen years of age,
ascended a rope stretched from near the ground to tho
top of one of the tallest trees in the Italian Walk, amidst
an explosion of fireworks. .llcr performances are
most wonderful. The conflagration of Hamburgh,
with a brilliant display of fireworks, concluded
the evening's entertainment. During the course of the
evening Herr Joel, the German Siffleur, gave his ilium.'
tions ; and there were bands playing in different part!
of the grounds. It would add much to the attractions of
this delightful place if a few more benches and seats
were provided in the open air. The gardens were crowded.
