claimants included the proprietors of almost every , newspaper in Eondon . The total amount of debts is said to be about 5 OO 0 £ ; the assets about 5007 . "Mr . Smith , newspaper agent of the Strand , -was chosen assignee . Mr . Frederick Reynolds , a clerk in a merchant ' s cormting-liouse , and Mr . Arthur Wilson , were brought last Saturday before the Marlborough-street magistrate , charged with causing a disturbance at Her Majesty's Theatre during the performance of Jullien ' s Conceits . Reynolds threw money on the floor , and caused people to scramble for it , and , on being taken into custody , Wilson , attempted a rescue . Reynolds-was ordered to find two sureties in 507 . each for six months ; and "Wilson was fined forty shillings . Both aTe liable to be proceeded against for the damage caused in the theatre , and probably to indictment for causing the riot .
M . Henry Laurent , musician , and his wife , both fashionably dressed , and the latter in a high state of ball-room elegance , were placed before the same magistrate on a charge of being drunk and disorderly the previous night in Rupert-street . As they left , a fine of 5 s . each having been inflicted , they turned aside their heads , apparently- desirous as soon as possible of ' avoiding observation , and Mr . Bingham told them that with all that finery they might -well be ashamed of themselves . Monday being the first day of Michaelmas term , the various law courts reopened , but little business of special interest -was transacted . Mr . Simpson , the proprietor of Cremorne , obtained iu the Court of Queen ' s Bench a xule » w » calling upon a Mr . Carter to show cause why he should not answer to certain interrogatories with reference to some alleged slanderous observations of his
spoken at a meeting of the vestry board at Chelsea , to the effect that Cremorne has a tendency to corrupt the morals of youth . The defendant had obtained the leave of a Judge to plead Not Guilty , and also a plea of justification , and he applied to the Judge that he might be allowed to propound interrogatories to the plaintiff ; but it was objected on the part of the latter , by his attorney , that the answers to the proposed interrogatories would tend to criminate him , and were objectionable upon that ground . In consequence of this objection , the Judge referred the question to the Court . Lord Campbell said there was my objection to putting the questions , and that that was not the stage for taking the objections . The questions , it appears , suggest that , -with , Mr . Simpson's knowledge , prostitutes had been allowed on his premises the whole night .
• Mr . Commissioner Holroyd gave judgment on Tuesday in the Court of Bankruptcy in the case of Sadgrove the Younger and Kagg , upholsterers , -with reference to whom some extraordinary facts came out on a previous meeting , as related in the Leader of October 24 th . His Honour severely condemned the conduct of the bankrupts , more especially that of Ragg-, whose certificate was refused , while it was directed that the certificate of Sadgrove the Younger ( who , though so designated , is old and infirm ) be suspended for two years from the day of the application , and that , when issued , it be of the third class . Protection will be granted in the latter case .
The affairs of the Metropolitan Bread Company ( Xiimited ) were before Mr . Commissioner Fonblanque on Tuesday . The object of the company was to supply the public with unadulterated bread ; the capital was 20 , 000 / ., in shares of 1 ? . each , to be paid in instalments or calls of 5 s . a share , with power to increase . The meeting on Tuesday was for proof of debts . It was stated during the proceedings that Mr . Molledonn , one of the directors , has been convicted of forgery on the previous day—a statement to wliich only a qualified denial was given ; and that the company is now offering a composition of 5 s . in the pound to its creditors .

Naval And Military. The Niagara At Plymo...
NAVAL AND MILITARY . The Niagara at Plymouth . —The officers of the United States steam frigate Niagara , Captain Hudson , which -was engaged with other vessels in the unsuccessful attempt , last August , to lay the submarine telegraph between Ireland and America , gave at Plymouth , a few days ago , a public ball and supper at Bate ' s Hotel to various English and American ladies and gentlemen . The rooms were tastefully decorated ; the English and American flags were twined in friendly union ; the ensign of Prussia was also combined with that of England , in allusion to the approaching marriage of the Princess Hoyal ; and , for a reason of a similar nature , the emblems of Austria and Belgium , were grouped together . Varitms other flags were displayed j but the most significant decoration consisted of three stars , red , blue , and ¦ white , composed of swords and bayonets , with these ¦ words beneath : — " Lot there be peace between mo and thee , between my people and thy people ; for we are brethren . " Above was an arch bearing thirty-one gas burners , each shade exhibiting the name of one of the American States ; below were three other burners , ornamented with the rose , thistle , und shamrock , corresponding with three at the other end of the room , on which were engraved the words England , Scotland , nnd Ireland . Several of the neighbouring nobility nnd gentry , with the heads of the naval and military departments , were present ; and the evening passed off cordially and brilliantly . &; | The lath Gale : on- this Eastbhn Coast . —The full extent of the damage inflicted on the shipping on the eastern coast by the late galo ia only just com ing to
l'Skt . At Bacton , on the Norfolk share , a trig was w r ecked and the crew were drowned . At Mundesley , a barque , name unknown , was also lost , and the crew of ten men were drowned , one dying soon after he lad succeeded in reaching the shore . The schooner Mary Ami , Kirk , master , came into collision with the schooner Brothers off Lowestoft , and the hitter vessel sank . The brig Premium , Bennett , master , of Sunderlaud , from Seaham for Nieudiep , sustained immense injuries in her sails , masts , & c , and at one time the vessel lay helpless in the trough of the sea , so that it -was expected she would become a total wreck ; she -was fortunately assisted , however , into Lowestoft harbour . The Lord Farnham sank in Lowestoft North Roads , aud the Frederick , of Sunderland , foundered off Cortou ; the crews were saved and have been forwarded to their homes by the Shipwrecked Mariners Society .
Ladt Franklin's Arctic Expedition . — Sir John Barrow communicates to the Times a letter from Captain M'Clintock , the commander of the Lady Franklin Arctic Expedition . It is mainly written , from the yacht Fox , lat . 71 degs ., off Cape Cranstoun ; but the postscript was penned while off Uppemavik . IBoth portions are dated August Gth . Everything had gone well up to that time . An Esquimaux was on board , as well as thirty fine dogs . The captain adds that the vessel "is complete with coals , having filled up at the coal cliffs iu Waigat Strait . I have sent home one of lny crew , who pro-ved to be consumptive , and , having-proved the others
pretty well , I can answer for their soundness aud willing cheerfulness . "We get on admirably—exactly as in the old Intrepid . At Lievely I saw two whaler captains , whose ships were crushed in Melville Bay'last June . They seemed to think I should not experience any difficulty . I cannot find that we have forgotten anything-, great as was the hurry of sailing . TVc are very comfortable ; our provisions are most excellent . ' The Fox sails well , but steams slowly in consequence of the screw being too small . As she gets lighter , she will go better . I have tried her among the ice , and find that her sharp bow readily opens a passage where a bluff one would knock in vain . "
A Channel Fi ^ et . — -From the activity displayed in preparing for the steam reserve , the screw line-of-battle ships Duke of "Wellington , Mariborough , and Royal Sovereign three-deckers , and the Victor Emmanuel , Caesar , Algiers , and Hannibal two-deckers , at Portsmouth , it is supposed that a Channel fleet or , squadron of evolution is . to be commissioned in the early part of the ensuing year . The Csesar and Hannibal are very forward in their equipments . IEscape of a Soldier feom Custody .- —Cornelius O'Erien , a private of the 18 th Royal Irish Regiment , who was adjudged to receive fifty lashes , and afterwards to undergo a term of imprisonment , for having robbed on « of his comrades , and for other acts of theft , was
found to have absconded from the guard-room of Chatham Garrison on the morning when the corporal punishment was to have been inflicted .

Tim Memorial Ciirucii at Cawni-okk , —A great many persons havo responded , apparently with much earnestness , to the suggestion made byja correspondent of tiie Times , and quoted in this paper last week , that a church should be erected over the well at Cawnpore into which the bodies of our massacred countrywomen and their children were thrown . The writer of the original letter has written again to say that he hopes the undertaking will not be prosecuted in any sectarian spirit , arid that , if the edifice fee devoted to the forms of the Church of England , the ministry will bo that of Ileber and of Henry Martyn . If tho enterprise be conducted by extreme men in a sectarian spirit , it will fail , or ought to do so . " I maUo this remark . " continues Mr .
Christopherson , because of an announcement tliut lias appeared in the Times to tho effect that one society , ordinarily identified with extreme ecclesiastical views , lias proposed to receive subscriptions and give a body to tho idea . I my , no . Let not nny oi » o society have the entire inanagomon t of a great national worlc like thin . Let tho erection bo ns national as tho Mutiny Fund , and then let tho appointment to the incumbency lie with tho present bishops of the Indian dioceses , or , better still , with good Dr . Wilson alone . " Tl » e * o stipulations arc highly necessary and proper , under tho circumstnncen ; but , if they coiihl conic- to tho knowledge of Hindoos aud Mahometans , what a comment they would suggest on our national Christianity ! They have led to n good
