CH A 118 MS'S BA NKR tT PTC V. --A correspon-
dent of the Morning Chronicle says, the assignees
in this cruel bankruptcy, after having the estate
six months at their disposal, dare not makes divi-
dend, the Court of King's Bench having decided
against the allegeOlict of bankruptcy on which the
commission issued, and no other can be established.
From the moment the commission issued, the soli-
citor has not been inactive, as may be judged from
the fact of his bill of costs amounting to 20,0001.
and 1,0001. in fees having been paid to each of the
mnimissioners !

worked by three persons with ease, and the most
delicate female or aged person may be placed in it
and brought down without the slightest danger.
A number of scientific gentlemen attended to wit-
ness the exhibition, the whole of whom coucarred
in placing it the first on the list of inventions.

persecutions of that bigot. The register contains
