BANKRUPTCY.

The final examination under the Commission to prove
debts being announced in the Gazette for nine o'clock
on Saturday morning, at the Commissioners' Court,
Basinghall-street, the creditors to the estate attended in
great numbers.
• Several depositions (in addition to those already ad-
mitted) in proof of debt were put in ; the gross amount
proved was, however, by no means so considerable as
had been anticipated. •
Very great antiety seemed to prevail amongst the
holders of the cheques on the house, to lumw.wharde-
eision had been come to respecting their claims. This,
however, was set at rest by a communication from Mr.
Montagu, intimating that they would be admitted in
proof, though not now, as the •puecise form in which
they should be put in was not yet agreed on; but the
cheque holders would have notice of the decision
through the medium of public advertisements in the
Newspapers. This reply gave very ,general satisfaction.'
At about half-past ten -o'clock, Mr. Montague ad-
dressed the Court, and said, " I hold in my hand an or-'
der signed by the Livid Chancellor for adjourning this
examination, in the case of the bankrupts, Messrs.
Marsh, Stracey, and Graham, for forty-nine days from
this day, so that more ample opportunity will be given
for the investigating the affairs of the house."—Though
this enlargement may be treated as mere matter of
course, and though no specific grounds were mentioned
in the order, yet it is quite clear that there could be no
thorough or satisfactory investigation of the bankrupts'
affairs, until the fate of one of the partners (and he too
the acting partner) be definitively settled. He, of
course, could give much important information ; but at
present, considering the delicacy of his own situation, it
would be not only indecorous, but contrary to rule, to
press him on a subject which might possibly affect him-
self. Besides, The presence of the other partners was
looked for, when this day seas named for the exami-
Iron, and their compulsory attendance in another Court;
of course precluded the possibility of their appear.

Sunday serniright, a hid named Hanton, about seven-
teen years of age, incautiously entered a grove, near
Northfield Wood, in the parish of Stow-market, for the
purpose of getting a few nuts, and, by treading on the
wire of a spring-gun, he was dreadfully wounded, re,
ceiving its whole contents in his thigh

At a- Salop Session, Robert Herbert, a Geritleinan's
gamekeeper, was sentenced to six months imprisonment
and hard labour, for an aggravated assault upon an
old man' of 66, who was quietly passing along the foot-
path of a coppice, with a whelp, which was also in the
path. Herbert, it was proved; set a Newfoundland dog
upon the whelp, and ultimately cut its throat ;-. When
the old' man attempted to rescue his dog, •the prisoner
threw him down with great violence, and otherwise ill-
treated him. •

FATAL EFFECTS OP PROVOCATION.—Last meek two'
boys employed by Mr..Elvy, of Newnham, were assist-1
ing in getting in some clover teed from the field ; one
of the boyi, named Brown, was driving the-horses, and
kept playing' With or teasing the boy named Jacksnn
who was in the cart, by whipping his legs; and at one
time, when Brown was about striking him again, Jackson
held out a pitch-fork which he bad in his hand, and
endeavoured to keep off the whip ; the fork slipped from
his hand, and the point of it struck Brown, entered the
back part of his head, and went completely through it !
—the boy fell instantly ;—and a man who was em-
ployed with them pulled the fork out. Brown lived
from 'the time of the accident, about four in the after-
noon, until one the following morning. A Coroner's
Inquest has been held on the body, and returned a ver-
dict of—Accidental Death.

LONGEVITY.-J. Gordon, who died near Turiff, Banff-
shire, some time ago, had attained the remarkable age
of 132 years. All the travellers who chanced to call
at the neighbouring inn of Turiff, were uniformly di-
rected ,by the landlady, Mrs. Wallace, to the cottage
of the patriarch, " where they would see (she used to.
Ay) the oldest man in Banffshire—ay, or in the world."
Atitong the visitors one day, at the close of.the harvest,
war a young Englishman, who, coming up to the door
of the cottage, accosted a ♦enerable looking man, 'ern:
ployed in knitting hose, with "So, my old friend, can
you see to knit at your advanced petiod of life? One
hundred and thirty-two is truly a rare age." "
i' the man ; it will be my grandfathere ye is seeking—
I'm only seventy-three—yell find him iound the corner
o' the house." On turning round the corner, the stranger
encountered a debilitated old man, whose whitened
locks bore testimony to his having long passed the
meridian of life,, and whom the stranger at once con-
cluded to be John Gordon himself. " You seem won-
derfully fresh, my good Sir, for so old a man ; I doubt
not but you have experienced many vicissitudes in the
course of your long life." " What's your wull, Sir r
inquired the person addressed, whose sense of heating
was somewhat impaired. The observation was repeated.'
"0, ye'll be wanting ray father I reckon ; he i the
yard there." The stranger now entered the garden,
where he found the venerable old man busily employed
in digging potatcesi. and. bumming the ballad of the
" Battle of Harlaw.° " I have had some difficulty in
finding you, friend, as I successively encounteredjour
grandson and son, both of whom I mistook for you ;
indeed they seem as old as yourself. Your labour is
rather hard for one at your advanced age." "It is
(replied John), but I'm thankful that I'm able for't, as
the laddies, puir things, ate. no vera stoat now." The
united ages of the worthy trio amounted to upwards of
three livxdrect years.

DRURYZANN.
After the Comedy of the Dramatist, in which Mr.
ELLirton sustained the part of -Vapid with greats effect
(closing with the original epilogue, delivered by him in a
style not inferior to that of the happiest days of the re,
nowned Lima)) the grand Spectacle of the Enchanted
Courser was performed for the third time, with increased
success. This appears to us to be one of the,most ex-
pensive Dramas sot up at either Theatre for many
years. The scenery And dresses are truly splendid, the
_equestrian evolutions excellent beyond all stage pre-
cedent, the pageantry imposing in an infinite degree,
-and.the piece altogether of so magnificent a description.
.that,malgre its lack of in some respites, it cannot,.
in its present improierd'srate, fail of proving attractive..

Instead of Toms and Country, which had been an-
nounced, for representation on Saturday at this Theatre,'
the Schad for' Scandal was performed. Dowros aban-
doned his old.cMraeter of Sir Oliver for Sir Peter, and
gave many touches of excellent humour and feeling-
Mr. HAMBLIN was highly respectable in .Joseph Surface,
though perhaps he carried stiffness to an excess. VINING
as Charks was full of spirit; and obtained much de-
served applause. Mrs. HAMBLIN appeared for the first
time at this Theatre as Lndy Teazle. Her countenance
possesses both intelligence and beauty, he manners are
pleasing, and her whole performance of this character,
if nut the most effective that we have witnessed, was one
of considerable merit, and produced much applause.
The other parts were well filled, and the wheile save
great satisfaction to it very numerous audience.

BOW-STREET.

DAUM thrant.aar.—Saturday, Belmar 1 O'Hara' alias Captain
Patina°, a worthy well-known to the police, was brought up by
Avis, on suspicion of having been concerned iu a burglary, in the
dwelling-houfie of Mr.-little, at the Oaks, Dear Ospringe, Kent.
Mr. ,Little is in the 94th year of his age, and his wife is nearly as
old, and they are buds very infirm.. On Wednesday night, they,
were awoke out of their sleep, by a fellow dressed in a carter's'
frock, who presented himself at• their bedside, saying, " I want'
'some money—l know you have sense in- the house, and if tiu give'
it up quietly, it will be ell very wellif _nut, you must take the
consequenres !" Mrs. Little,in a dreadful, state of alarm, assured
him she had no money, a, .he had paid her rent that day ; but he
told her he knew she was speaking falsely, and advised her tote
careful how she triti.:(l wirh-bim, or she might have cause to rue it,
Just then the moon shone brightly .into the room, and the light
falling open a chest of drawers, it occurred to her that in that chest
of drawers was a bundle of nitres of the " Weald of Kent Bank,"
which bank stopped payment ten years ago, and the notes had lain
by them useless i-ver since. To recollect this, and to point to the
chest of drawers, was but the work of a moisten? ; and the robber
instantly. forced 'open the drawers, took out the bundle of worth-
less notes, and withdrew through the window, by which he had
entered. It afterwards appeared, that he had reached the window
by placing a hurdle against the wall beneath, which hurdle be had.
carried from a plantation at a considerable dktance ; but nothing
appeared which could•lead to his detection, until Friday, when one
of the notes was offered in payment, at the King's Arms public-
house, in .lames-street, Covent-garden, by
_this Captain Pattenho,
Igo ralkd, by his companions, from his wearing a patten on one of
:his feet, beertise his legs are not both of a length. The landlord of
the King's Arms, having beard of the robbery, stopped the note,
and told Avis of the circumstance, olio shortly after took the pri-
soner into custody. Avis produced the note, which purported to
'he of the value of £lO, and he said he had received information
that the prkaner had spcceeded in paying awayAeveral others of
-the same kind, but be had not had time to get the witnesses
. together. The prisoner declined saying bow
.the note came into
his possession, and the Magistrate committed him for further exa-
mination on Friday nest.

The CALLIOPIt retuined to Spithead on Tuesday,
having left thoNlastert and trial sloops off the Lizard
on the previous Sunday. The CALLIOPE was in com-
pany when these'sloops made their first trial, on Mon-
day the 18th inst. and. was stationed sonic distance to
windward by the senior officer as the goal for decision.
The signal was made to chase her; and, after a dead
heat to windward for file hours, the CHAMPION crossed

the CALLioPit's bows, leaving her competitors at a con-
%iderable distance to leeward; the 011itsTES, it is sup-
posed,. about half gun-shot, and the Pit:Awes but just
within range. ' From this, and other trials made during
the time the CALLIOPE was with the squadron, the pre-
vailing opinion seems to be, that the CHAMPIONyiII ul-
iiinately'prove herself the finest vessel as a man of war.
She is found- to sray well, pay off easily, and fall off
but little, consequently is soon brought to the wind
again in going about. She is so buoyant in compa-
rison with the other sloops, that while their forecastles
are quite wet, she is perfectly dry. The ()rums is
also considered a fine sloop; anssse:ing her helm quick-
ly; but front 'being a long time falling off, she is prir--
portionably long an .being again brought to wind.
The point in which the Prta DEs proved herself supe-
rior was that of running, and in this respect the CRAM-
plow was much her inferior. We give these observa-
tions, not with a view to establish the superiority or in-
feriority of either of these vessels, whiCh of course can.
not be-done until the. trial which they are now making
has been fully completed in every-respect, but merely as-
the floating rumour of the day, and with the wish. to
afford as much information as it is in our 'power on a•
subject about which much laudable curiosity is excited.
Saturday the Loyal Briton transport, Lieut. Amattose,
agent,- arrived at Portsmouth from Bermuda, which
island she left on the2Bth September, when the garrison
and inhabitants. were healthy. The Loyal Briton took
out Col. Levts and a detachment of Royal Marines, to
guard the •convicts, who have made great progress in
the public works carrying on there. The 'calms, 10,
Captain GRAHAM, had arrived at Bermuda-in 35 days
horn Jamaica; lan from Havannah, with specie for the
Commis.ariat. The Icastua had captured, near Cayo
Blanca, the piratical scooner Diablito, Jose Antoci
Master, mounting two large nines, midships, two 18
pound carron,aides, ,and two smaller guns, besi'les two
'long 'nines in -the hold. The boats of the Inanus (which
We.* commanded by Lieutenant Ceoese), sustained no
loss: They also captured a sloop, with a quantity of
'captured piratical goods on board ; and had the grati-
ficatioa of releasing nine, Americans (the master and
crew of the American brig Henry, of Hartford) who
'were captured nine days before, were most barbarously
treated, and were to be murdered on the following day.
This pirate had destroyed twelve vessels within three
months, and had murdered at least 120 persons.
An Inquest was held on Monday, at the Black Horse
Inn, Tiverton, on Were. It appeared that the de-
ceased (a mason's labourer) was employed to do some
repairs to the cellar.l Mr. Boyce, spirit-merchant;
while at work, he and.. his companion discovered a cask
'of gin, with a common cock in it, and procuring a cup,
proceeded to help themselves. The deceased drank too
freely, and forfeited his life in consequence. Verdict—
" Died from the effects of, excessive drinking.' •
'Thursday evening, at the rising of the Court, an ap-
plication was made to the Magistrates at the Middlesex
Sessions, on the part of Mr. W. CUNDY, for a renewal
of the license .of the Pantheop, Oiford-street. The
Court refused the application, on the ground that Mr.
toxin had no title to the premises. An application
:was also made on behalf of Mr. HAMMOND, for a license
.for a new theatre at Hackney, for musical entertain-
ments, ballets, and burlettal. Ai the petition was not
signed by the Minister of the Parish, the license was
refused. The licenses were renewed for the Adelphi
Theatre, English Opera House, West London Theatre,
and other places of public entertainment.

Fl gLO SPORTS FOR NOV:
Grouse and partridge shooting may be. cuesidered

Pheasant shooting should be deferred, by legal
.vember. They appear ao have. hatched later
killed in October not having been larger than
appear to have bred better than the partridge.
November may be justly,considered as the _-
season : these birds are generally to be found in more abeindavel
about the middle of this month than at any other period: Mira
these long-billed visitors ruake.their appearance very early; it i.
generally regarded as a sign of approaching plenty: in the middle
of September, a woodcock was shot ip itughton, Lancashire ; anti
another was seen a fortnight afterwards, in I.at horn, in the sane
county. If we calculate, therefore-, according to the received °O-
nion, we may confidently anticipate good sport..
. Hares seem' to have bred well ; and as thil it the season fa
Coursing and hunting them, good diversion may be obtained. Thrre
is no legal period appointed for pursuing.this fleet little animal ; hut
it may justly be considered Man outrage upon common law, as
well as upon common sense, to pursue the bare with either grey.
hound or harrier, till the crops have been hoesed.
Fox-hunting, which has already begun. will now be eagerly for.
Owed. Melton Mowbray will become the very focus of attraction;
and; as far as an opinion can be formed, from no very ambigunes
indications, there is likely to be a greater assenildage at this place,
in the ensuing season, than has ever before been witnessed.
Ancumo.—Much good bottom-fishing and sport may be had is
rivers, but not so in ponds or any other still waters, except uollirg,
land live-bait fishing for jack sod. pike. which may be practised in
aud' places all through the winter. In rivers, chub tie roscb will
feed freely. both of which are now fat, firm in flesh, and strong in
body, and will take a bait in favourable weedier, during the wink
of the day. This month the lover of trolling should lose no title
in tho pursuk of his favourite diversion, as the weather in Decem-
ber is geperally subject to heaoy raips and falls of ten*, which
either prodyce floods, or such thirk and foul water, as to leave
little chance of killing a fish with the angle;"and as jack and pike
are how I. the best possible state for the • tilife, every advantage
should be taken whets a fine day occurs.in November, as, after Mb
month, the angler will probably hove to wait till the latter cad ef
February before he can again wet a line. Barbel, dace, perch.
carp, eels, and Bounders' are now retiring to their winter Meets ;
the tackle, therefore, used fair these fish may be laid aside, till the
winter has passed away.—afarsola .japerting.

After the examination of two or three witnesses, one of
whom stated that the " candle" had been burning sbrile
time, Mr. Waterhouse, a junior Counsel of, prorniaing
talent, rose and begged to suggest that a legal objec-
tion might be taken, as the indictment charged the
prisoner with stealing " ascasdle," whereas it WAS now
proved to be bnly ‘! a ;NW of .one," This flaw proved
fatal to the indictment, and the prisoner was discharged.
