THE LIVERPOOL STANDA , TUESDICY, 'OCTOBER 21, 1851.

IN RE 301 IN WRITSON IRVING,

This bankrupt, a shipwright, of Liverpool, had been in
custody during the past week, and was now brought up
by Mr. Duke, the Governor of the Borough Gaol. He
applied, through his solicitor, Mr. Wheeler, for his dis-
charge and for protection. Mr. Houghton, solicitor, for
the plaintiff executing judgment, opposed the application.
The bankrupt, in the course of a long examination, said
he was in partnership with his brother, now unfortunately
a lunatic, and incapable of attending to the affairs of the
firm. Their liabilities were more than £3,000, but he
had now a ship and valuable cargo in this port, which
would realise more than £4,000, were he enabled to give
his attention to it. He and his brother owed his father, a
shipwright, earning, when he chose to work, from 30s.
to 50s. per week, about £4OO for money lent, in small
sums, varying from £5 to £2O, and for the board of his
brother. This sum was due on the 19th of February
last, but he had not then, at his father's request, inserted
it in a list of debts which he laid before a meeting of his
creditors. Other debts were omitted for the same reason,
but were now included in his balance sheet. His father,
it appeared, was the petitioning creditor.—The COMMIS-
SIONER did not see sufficient reason to detain the man.
The omission of the debt said to be due to the father, but
omitted from the list handed in to the creditors on the
12th of February last, would form matter for considera-
tion at an ulterior stage of the proceedings.—lrving was
consequently discharged, and the customary protection
granted to him.

sails this morning for Italy, with a large portion of the
late Earl of Derby's menagerie, purchased by Prince
Demidoff, for his estate near Florence.

STEAM FROM LIVERPOOL TO THE BRAZILS.—We are
now enabled to report the formation of a line of steamers
for the above trade. By reference to our advertising co-
lumns it will be seen that Messrs. M'Kean, M'Lartv, and
Co., of this port, the pioneers of the magnificent squa-
dron of screw-steamers now engaged in the Mediterranean
trade, are building on the Clyde three powerful steam-
ships, of 1,500 tons each. They will be of the finest class,
with every improvement of the day, combining great
swiftness with strength and beauty of model, and unsur-
passed for the extent, elegance, and unusual comfort of
cabin accommodations for passengers. The Cleopatra, the
first of the new line, will be ready for the berth by April
next.

JEWS' DISABILITIES.—The Daily News states that on
Saturday the solicitor of Mr. Alderman Salomons re-
ceived notice of trial" in two separate actions, which
will bring the question of the admission of Jews into Par-
liament before the Court of Queen's Bench in the course
of a few weeks. The notices of trial are for the sitiings of
Michaelmas Term, consequently the cases will come on
early in December, as the term ends on the 25th of No-
vember. The actions are brought for " having voted in
the House of Commons without having first taken the
oath required by law."
