WALSH AND NESBITT'S BANKRUPTCY.—Saturday
was appointed for the final examination of the Bank-
rupts, but Mr. MONTAGU, Counsel for the Creditors,
proposed an adjournment, with a view to a private
examination, observing that he had some inquiries to
make connected with Mr. Wahh's seat in Parliament,
which, if his instructions were correct, might interfere
with his retention of it. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Capel,
who had examined the Bankrupt's affairs on account
of their creditors, thought an adjournment and private
examination would be for the advantage of all parties.
After some discussion the meeting adjourned till Sa-
turday.
Ciry Busnass.—At a Common Council, on Thurs.
day the LORD MAYOR laid before the Court a letter
he had received from the Right Honourable Earl
BAYntnts-c, President of the Board of Trade, respect-
ing the Improvement of Smithfield Market, together
with a Copy of a Memorial presented to that Board
by the Land-owners, Graeiers, &c. His Lordship
stated, that the Committee of City Lauds had for-
merly in contemplation two Spots of Ground, in the
neighbourhood of Islington, and which his Lordship
had since taken a view of, and he thought either of
them would be a very eligible situation for removing
the Market; his Lordship recommended the same to
the serious consideration of the Court. The Letter
and Memorial were then read, and it was referred to
the Committee of City Lands to examine and report.
The Committee of Members of that Court who are
Governors ex officio of Christ's Hospital, presented a
report, stating, that in consequence of the unanimous
resolution of that Court, they requested Sir J. ANDER-
SON, Bart. President, to call a General Meeting of
the Governors, 'which he accordingly did ; that they
met on the 2d day of December last ; that a motion,
which they had previously prepared, was made to ap-
point a Committee, to enquire into the abuses in the
presentation and admission of children, which after
some discussion,-was negatived by a considerable ma-
jority. •
Mr. Warrustax, at considerable length, entered
into the nature of the Institution"; the abuses which
prevailed ; the interests of the Citizens of London
therein ; and the conduct of the Governors in resisting
inquiry, after the flagrant instances of abuses which
had been alledged. He concluded by moving," That
it,be referred to a Select Committee of '2l members,
to enquire and report to this Court, whether the Cor-
poration of London had any, and what means of en-
quiring into the abuses of Christ's Hospital."
Mr. WAITHMAN'S motion was unanimously agreed
to, and a Committee appointed.
