deserved compliment to tho manner in which the late Lord Mayor discharged the duties and dispensed the hospitalities of his office . Some startling disclosures were made in the Court of Bankruptcy or , tho Gth inst ., as to the way composition deeds are sometimes concocted . A bankrupt named AA ' m . Hopkinson , made a clean breast of it , and admitted that in the deed which
he had attempted to carry through , many persons were put down for amounts which he did not owe to them at all , or which were enormously in excess of the actual liabilities he had incurred . Altogether the list contained creditors for
£ 1 , 600 , although he only owed £ 600 , the object , of course , being to trump up a fictitious settlement , and to sacrifice tbe interests of the real creditors . It is to be hoped that the registrar will give effect to the indignation which he expressed against the authors and abettors of this scandal , and make a judicial example of the most guilty ! A deputation from the council
of the Pioyal Agricultural Society waited on the 7 th inst , upon the Duke of Buckingham , in reference to the cattle plague . The deputation urged that the restrictions on the importation of foreign cattle should be made permanent ; that fairs and markets should not be re-opened yet ; and that the Privy Council should obtain greater power in respect to these matters
from the Legislature . The Dnko of Buckingham made known to the deputation that the Harwich scheme , had received tho sanction of the Government . Foreign cattle may be brought there and turned on to lands where they will remain in quarantine for twenty-eight days . This sort of thing is expected to satisfy the public demand for more meat from abroad .
As to mai-kets avid , fail's , they are Yiot to be allowed just yet . The cattle plague returns show that , spite of all the restrictions , the disease which seemed to have all but died out has flickered up again . There were thirty-two attacks reported last week , being twenty-five more than in the preceding week . A few days since a most alarming subsidence of the ground , occasioned by coal excavations beneathtook lace at Newton
