IN RE H. HOLLIS.

The bankrupt applied for his certificate and was opposed
by Mr. Peacock for the assignees, on the grounds of ab-
straction of his property, gambling, and betting on horse.
racing, and with having obtained credit by false represen-
tations of the state of his affairs. He underwent a search.
lag examination by Mr. Peacock on all the grounds of
opposition, in the course of which he stated that he won
£3OO at Chester on the horse Intrepid. Mr. Lowndes,
for the bankrupt, contended that as it had not been
proved that he .Lad ever lost £2O in one day by betting,
nor £2OO within 12 months of his bankruptcy, the opposi-
tion must fail. After a very long examination, the case
was adjourned to Thursday, for the production of witnes-
ses in reference to the disposition of certain goods.

BASE COlN.—Three persons, Thomas and Margaret
Farrington, and Mary Burns, were yesterday charged at
the Police-court with uttering base coin, and being con-
cerned in making the same. Several cases of uttering
base shillings were proved against them, and in the house
tenanted by the male, in Rose-place, were found two
crucibles for the melting of metal, moulds for casting coin,
and other apparatus for the trade of coining. The priso-
ners were remanded until further evidence could be
adduced.
THEATRE ROYAL, WILLIAMSON-SQUARE.—This es-
tablishment opened yesterday evening, for a short season,
with the " Flowers of the Forest," in which Mr. Buck-
stone sustained his original character of Cheap John, a
travelling auctioneer, in his usual racy style; with Mrs.
Fitzwilliam as Starlight Bess. We need not say that the
audience was in roars of laughter. Buckstone's " Rough
Diamond was second on the list ; and the performances
concluded with his farce of " Our Mary Anne." A num-
ber of stars are engaged to appear in succession.
Mr. Jones, the lithographer, has produced a telling
tinted lithographic engraving of the burning of the
Ocean Monarch, after the Prince de Joinville's sketch.
The proceeds of the sale Mr. Jones will hand over, with a
very praiseworthy humanity, to the fund for the relief of
the sufferers. Presentation copies have, we believe, been
forwarded to His Worship the Mayor, to the Brazilian
Consul-General, Admiral Grenfell, and the other parties
who distinguished themselves on the occasion, by all of
whom it has been highly approved.
OPERA AT MANCHESTER.—Mr. Howard Glover is
about to try the success of a series of lyrical performances
by English artists, at the Theatre-Royal, Manchester.
He has engaged Miss Rainforth, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr.
Galli, Mr. Whitworth, and Mr. Delavanti, besides the
pupils of the Musical and Dramatic Academy in London,
over which he presides. The band and chorus will con-
sist, of about sixty individuals. The first performance
will take place next Saturday, when " The Bride of
Lammermoor" is promised.
THE WEATHER.—The past week has been most propi-
tious for bringing up the lee-way in the gathering of the
crops, and if the farmers have not availed themselves of it,
we can scarcely sympathise with them should they be
losers by delay. We have had a succession of the finest
bright and sunny days that ever occurred at this advanced
season of the year. The grain is, we believe, generally
secured, and the growing field and garden crops still look
well and promising. The alarm attempted to be raised
regarding the potatoes appears to have died away, and the
probability is that there will be at least a fairish crop.
DEATH FROM A BLOW.—About half-past six o clock
on Sunday night, a man, yet unknown, was observed to
be maltreating and assaulting a little boy in the neigh-
bourhood of Great Howard-street. A car-driver named
John Kelly, went up to prevent a further assault, and
with this view gave the man a push, in consequence of
which he fell. He became insensible, and was taken to
the Northern Hospital, where he was well attended to,
but died at half-past eight yesterday morning. Kelly
has since been taken into custody, but it is probable the
verdict at the inquest will be " Death by chance medley."
SHEEP STEALING.—Two young men, James Mathison
and James Hughes, were yesterday charged before Mr.
Rushton with stealing a lamb. A police-officer stated
that on Saturday while he was in Crown-street he heard
what he thought was the bleating of a sheep, and going
up an entry found the prisoners in possession of a lamb.
They said on being challenged that they had found it at
Low-hill going at large. The owner said that he had in
a field in the neighbourhood of Kensington, 41 lambs,
and on selling them found only 40. That which he had
seen was marked like the others. The offence is a trans-
portable one, and the prisoners were committed for trial
at the assizes.
A REBUKE.—Honour to the people of Liverpool, wko
have shown themselves both merry and wise," both
"just and generous !" In subscriptions they have raised
the munificent aggregate of £6,000 towards the relief of
the suffering passengers of the Ocean Monarch. Nine-
teen out of every twenty of these miserable emigrants are
Irish, men, women, and children, and have no more
claim on the people of Liverpool than they have on any
other section of the universal brotherhood of humanity.
Yet, how nobly has that claim been allowed ! Mean-
• ei-lnyvv-havt.T-I.lm- gentry- unil zliurceeperS Of-Dublin
been engaged ? They have been ravished with a fantasia
by Grisi or a serenade by Mario ! To our everlasting
shame, up to this moment, not even a penny subscription
has been set on foot to assist and comfort the live debris
of the Ocean Monarch.—Dublin World.
CRICKET.—The following match was played on Friday
and Saturday last on the Birkenhead ground, between the
Garrison of Liverpool and the Birkenhead Club, when the
Garrison obtained an easy victory, having 119 runs to
spare. The bowling of Messrs. Piper and Fenwick was
truly admirable throughout, as also was the batting of
Captain Campbell, and Messrs. Dallas, Fenwick, Lake,
and Piper, on the part of the Garrison, and Mr. Wright
of the Club.
