SH 3 £ » ks ? 3 £ x £ « = ^ S 5 r ™^ i « = ™ SSy bushels of malt were forfeited to the Crown . A nJt of Knaverx . —The aflairs of Samuel Newman , lately a buUder and publican at Lee , near Lewislam were entered into at an examination meeting in the Court of Bankruptcy on Wednesday . The bankrupt , it may be recollected , was arrested some short time ago for having a loaded pistol in his possession , and
having intimated his intention to shoot Mr . Bunn , the trade assignee , and was released upon giving bail . A request was now made on behalf of Mr . Bunn that he should be relieved from his position . The bankrupt said lie had acted under feelings of great excitement . Mr . Ives was a secured creditor for 6600 / ., and the claims of the other creditors amounted to only about 400 / . Having a capital of his own of 4000 ? . when he entered into an arrangement with Mr . Ives , he was indignant at the manner in which his children ' s beds were being sold under them , and his property improvidently realized . He believed that Mr . Ives , acting through Mr . Bunn ,
iis assignee , intended , by the manner in which the sale was conducted , to depreciate the property for a time , with a view ultimately to get it into his own possession . Mr . Ives had suggested to Mm to become a bankrupt , and to get up a fictitious opposition . His reply was that he had always paid 20 s . in the pound , and intended to continue to do so . Mr . Ives appeared to approve this ; but he afterwards said , " Call a meeting of your creditors , place everything in my hands , and say nothing about a parcel of land . I will then lend you 1100 / . to pay the creditors . " The bankrupt promised not to molest Mr . Bunn . His honour therefore refused to remove that
gentleman , and the bankrupt passed his examination . A Soldier Mukdkked by a Comrade . —A shocking deed was perpetrated at Dover on Tuesday in the open light of day , in the view of a dozen spectators , and within a few yards of the town , the scene being a meadow in front of the military hospital at Archcliffe Fort , where the 49 th Regiment is encamped .

Review of the German Legion . — The Queen , accompanied by Prince Albert and thp royal family , reviewed on Saturday afternoon the troops of the British German Legion encamped at Browndown . Disaster at Sea . ' —The Pacific steam-ship Santiago , Commander W . It . Bartjott , from Valparaiso , with ouo hundred and fifty persons on board , and carrying a valuable cargo , and specie to the amount of 200 , 000 dollars , two days after leaving Valparaiso , on the 28 th of Juno , struck upon a reef of rocks , known as the ' Infernal Rocks , ' during a dork and hazy night . The ship was immediately stopped and backed off the rocks ; but , the water having gained upon her forward , it was anticipated ovary instant that she would go down . The coolness , energy , and judgment of the captain , officers , and crew , however , saved tho ship ; and , after almost incredible exertions , shared' in by all on board for two days and nights , she arrived in safety at Calluo .

Him ACCHMWr AT TUB SlEQK OlUCBA . TION 8 .-Tho court of mquiry in thta oaae ha * arrived at tho following decision , which wa , read to tho whole of tho troop * on parade at tho Artillery Barracks , on . Monday : — "The cpurt , having maturely considered tho statements of the witnesses i » of opinion that tho evidence is" not
suffieiently dear to a ; < as the cause of the explosion of tho charges which took place in the counter battery during the siege operations on the 19 th of August , 1856 . " The whole of the sufferers by the accident have nearly recovered . Religious Differences . —Captain Pitman , of the 1 st Devon Militia , states that the men of his regiment where frequently insulted , while stationed at limerick , on the ground of their being Protestants . Loss of A Schooner Tacbbt . —The schooner yacht Viking , belonging to Colonel Stirling , was on Friday week , about an hour after sunset , run into by the barque James Holmes , bound for London from the West Indiesfand cut down to the water ' s edge .
, The yacht made for Newhaven in a sinking state . All hands were saved . According to a private letter we have received , it was a case of the grossest carelessness on the part of the mer « hantinan . The yacht was on the starboard tack , and had a light at her mast-head . The James Holmes showed a light in answer to the yacht , and was running up Channel . " The barque , " says our correspondent , " ran deliberately into the Viking , tearing the yacht ' s mainsail in half with her jibboom . The master of the yacht sprang on board the barque to demand her name , and found her master in his night gear : he had evidently just come up from below , and prolearnt
bably had put his helm the wrong way . Having her name , the master of the Viking w « nt back to his own vessel and fonnd her sinking , so he got her into Newhaven , and from thence she has been towed to Cowes . " If , as isliere alleged , and as we have no reason to doubt , the yacht was on a wind , and on the starboard tack , and the barque running , it was strictly the duty of the barque to give way to the yacht , though , as a general principle , we think yachts , bound on pleasure only , should give way to laden vessels , whose time is money . On the other hand , the recklessness of merchantmen , and their want of a look-out forward are proverbialand deserve to be visited with heavy damages .

B ., has been placed as a Lieutenant-General upon the staff of the army in the United Kingdom , with a view to his appointment as Inspector-General of Infantry . The Anglo-Italian Legion . —The Austrian Consul , at Malta , on hearing that orders had arrived for conveying the brigade to England , caused it to be made known in the camp that such Austrian subjects as were of good character would be allowed to return to their country ;
that their ' father , ' deeply grieved at the unworthy treatment they had received during their residence in Malta , was ready not only to pardon their having engaged in foreign service without his consent , but to admit them to the honour of serving under his standard . About four hundred availed themselves of the Emperor ' s offer , and have received , or will receive , passports to Venice . The remainder of the Legion will be despatched to England as soon as an opportunity offers . — Times Malta Correspondent . The Duke of
Tile Camp at Colchester . — Cambridge on Tuesday reviewed the regiments of tho British German Legion now encamped at Colchester , numbering in the aggregate about 5200 men , divided into six regiments of infantry , under the command of Major-General Baron Stutterheim . The whole neighbourhood presented a holiday appearance , and the field exhibited a gay scene of elegantly-dressed ladies and brilliantlyaccoutred soldiers . The Commander-in-Chiof expressed the highest satisfaction at the evolutions of the soldiers , and , on leaving tho field , proceeded to the house of Mr . Rebow , at Wyvenhoe Park , where he partook of lunch in the company of the officers who had formed his escort . Ho then returned to the station at Colchester , attended as bofore , and left by the four o ' clock train for London .
