The total amount proved yesterday wu 32,7201. 18s. 3d.
There wu some little warmth exhibited amongst the creditors on the
subject of the choice of assignees ; but Mr. Young, who proved on the
first day for 5001. Mr. Morecroft, and Mr. Howell, were finally
appointed.
There was one peculiarly bard cue, which was much talked of, that
of Samuel, the first creditor on the list. The poor man has been foe
some time employed in some low situation about the brewery, and was left
4801. by a relation. The bankrupt having heard Samuel say that he did
not know what to do with the money, as all he could get by an invest-
ment was three per cent. said to him, " Well, I'll tell you what
you'll do, Samuel. Leave it with me, and you shall have 4k per
cent." Samuel thought his money was u safe in Prior's bands as
in the Bank of England, and accordingly handed it over to the bank-
rupt, who handed a piece of paper u security, of which the following
is a copy ;
" Brewery, Islington, Oct. 8, IMO.
" Twelvemonths after date I promise to pay Kr. Samuel, or order,
the sum of 4801, with interest at 41 per cent.
" WM. PRIOR•"

Amelia Opie is at Paris, and a constant visitor at the
soirees of General Lafayette, where this celebrated female
always appears in the simple garb of a rigid Quakeress,
forming a striking contrast to the gay attire of the Parisian
ladies.

It is said to have been the appearance of a large shark
which has driven so large a portion of the minor fry from
Fishmongers' Hall.—Herald.
An awful instance of the evil effects of excessive drinking
occurred on Sunday night, on board a ship off the No. 3
Quay, in the London Docks. Mr. Cosgrove, a tide-waiter,
of the Customs, joined a party in a vessel, nd during the
evening drank more than a quart of strong Schiedan gin.
and became much intoxicated. He was about to fill a glass
of liquor„when the goblet fell from his hand, he uttered a
heavy groan, suddenly fell backwards in his chair, and al-
most immediately expired. The deceased was in his 35th
year, and previously in the enjoyment of excellent health.
LOVE AND SUICIDI.—On Saturday last, a young
woman, residing at Bangor, in Flintshire, who bad been'
" crossed in love," swallowed a quantity of poison. For
several hours afterwards her life was despaired of; but she
was finally restored by the aid of the stomach-pump . On
Monday morning, another instance, arising from the same
cause, which proved fatal, took place :—Jane Lee, about 20
years of age, the daughter of a fishmonger, residing in that
town, deliberately came down stairs about seven o'clock,
got her father's reser, and after sharpening it, returned up
stain again, lay down in bed, and cut her 'throat in the
most horrid manner, nearly separating the bead frank the
trunk. She was found a short time aftdnvards Iftbnity
bathed in gore, and quite dead.—Cherter Chroni'ctb.
