INSOLVENT DEBToIIF COUR I', Novadave IS. Samuel Burgess, a very young-locking man, was opposed by Mr. POLLCCK, on behalf of Messrs. B:eaJen and Co. the proprietors of the London Tavern, Bishops date -street, for a debt of about 301. the charge for two inners, contracted under very whimsical circumstances. The insolvent, who described himself in his schedule is a publisher, a librarian, and latterly a Diuenting Minister, went to the London Tavern on the Ist ot February last, arid informed Mr. Alexander, one of the proprietors, that he wanted a large dinner to be pro vided for the St. John's Charity, established for the maintenance and education of poor children, of the chapel of which society be was Minister. He said that this being the first anniversary of the charity. he wished to know what would be the terms? Mr. Alexander told him that he Might have a din ner at any cost. from three shillings up to ten guineas a-bead ; but the' usual rate at which dinners of that description were ordered was eight shillings. The insolvent then said that he should consult with the stewards on the subject, one of whom he stated to be Alderman Key, and he mentioned Dr. Collyer as another. He also observed that Prince Leopold was to be in the chair. He then went away, and in a few days he came again, and ordered a kind of preparatory dinner, to be provided for the steward r, at eight shillings a-head, on the 17th of February. On that day, accordingly, the insolvent arrived, dressed in a gown, bands, &c.— in shqrt, in the full canonicals of a Clergyman of the Church of England, and accompanied by two other persons, who were all that came to dinner. The insol vent having waited some time, and expressed his sorrow that the lest of the stewards had been prevented by the weather, as lie supposed, from attending, the dinner was ordered to be served up, and he and his two companions sat down to table. The trio having alone full justice to a sumptuous meal, originally intended ,for eight ; and the insolvent relishing the flavour of Messrs. Bleaden and Co.'s champagne, he felt disposed to extend his convivial circle, and for that purpose be went across the street to the City of London Tavern, where a large charity dinner was taking place,•ani returned with a reinforcement of guests to the number of ten or a /keen, several of- whom were respectable Dissenting Clergymen," 6y whose assistance fourteen bottles of wine were dispatched, four of which were champagne. The insolvents when retiring, directed the props ie ors to send their bill addressed to the Rev. S muel Burgess, Collet-place Mile-end. Shortly after this, the insolvent agsio made his appearance at the Tavern, and expressing his satisfaction at the style of his former entertaintueut, he ordered another dinner, to be provided for eight; Mr the 10th of March. On this vecasion, the guests eeceeded Ore expected number, no leis than ten sitting doiin to dinner, with the insolvent, again in full canutic .Is, in the chair. He had previously delivered isis - - card . to Mr. Alexander, containing the fnllowing . add , ess :-...... The Rev. Samuel Bilges:, LL.D.' F.A.S. Minister of St. John's Chapel, Mile End New-town." He gave his order for wine written upon similar cards; sealed with large aimenial bearings in black wiz, in the issuing of which be evinced no small taste for variety—Tenerife, Sherry, hfouniain, Lisbon, Champagne, and Port, being amongst the different kinds honoured with the chairman's selcc tier!, lentil at last, "'his reverence" became so drunk as so be no longer able to give written orders, and there fore be contented' hints& thencelor ward with calling for more 'eas.; leaving the choice to the proprietor? distrition.

Emma Glassgen, a young Lady of respectable ap pearance, was opposed by a creditor in person, named , Charles Crooke. Mrs. Crooke, the opposing credit Or's wife, first re sented herself to the :mention of the . Court, and begitedl to be allowed to conduct the opposiion, as the debt, I which was for the nursing of the tnsolvent's child, had been contracted with her. The Cower informed her that she could not be heard; and di rected the husband to come forward. Crook then ascended the boa, and in reply . to one or two questions of his, the insolvent stated, that her lather had bequeathed a suns of money to her, of which she never received a farthing. She had told-the opro creditor that she received £4OO under lur father's will, and she actually did receive securities to that amount; but having lodged them with a Ma. Holmes, to be turneJ into cash, that Gentlemen had applied the money to the payment of a debt due by her brother-in-law. That ap plication, however, having been unsar.ctioned by her, she considered that she had al just claim uponNlr.Holines for the return of the money. The opposing creditor was then asked like bad anything to state upon oath In support of his opposition ? He replied in the affit mauve and was swore. w What I bare to state is this," said he, I' I should like very much to have my money, if I could"—( Laughter). The wife here came to his assistance, and again beg ged very hard to be allowed to speak. She was in formed that the law did not allow her to be a witness for Eer husband. That was very hard, she obsery d, as os he had not sufficient judgment to explain the case."— The usual inquiry was then proceeded with by the Court, but the wife once more in:erposed, and applied a strang term to the conduct of the insolvent in withholding p sy ment of her debt. It was then insisted upon by Mr. Heath, the insolvent's Counsel, that she should be eilerst ; to which she candidly replied, that" she could rot help talking ;" and added, " that she was the fitteit person to be beard, as she could explain everything." The Coes% after examining the imago* minutely as to tha items set forth in her schedule, diciared her entitled to her dis charge.—After the inquiry had terminated, the insolvent became strongly affected, and was carried out of Court in a swoon. Brii was conveyed to a house in the neighbourhood, whither she was followed by Mrs. Crooke, who took that opportunity of making herself amends /or the restraint which the rules of the Cuurt bad, imposed upon her tongue, by treating the unfortunate object of her indignation to an harangue, in the course of which she did not stop to measure her expressions with too scrupulous a nicety. John Roger baulk, by trade a tailor, was opposed by Mr. H Lean, on behalf of a creditor named Gibson, whb keeps what is called " a tally-shop." In the facts elicited by the opposition, the Court de. Oared that there was nothing which eallei upon it to delay the insolvent's discharge. But at the commence ment 4 his examination, the insolvent stated that be was an uncertificated bankrupts and bad been a prisoner for upwards of three years. He had had the benefit of the rules until about seven weeks ago, when, having broken them by going a few yards beyond their limits, he was then confined v, ithin the walls. Upon this Mr. FILM* contended, that the Act re quiring that a baukrupt petitioning this Court for his Discharge must have been in prison for upwards of three years preceding, the present peti.ion must be dis missed, the insolvent having been out of prison seven seeks ago. for he admitted he had broken the rules. Mr. Canunisaoftet Law did hot look upon a breach of the rule, like this to be a gemination of his imarlionwent. and thcrt. tort (after an inquiry into the sneritsl, deflated the insolvent vu 'tided to his discharge. eirimm.meurrumm. KING WILLIAM RUFUS AND SIR W. TYRREL. The staternent lately made, that the tree is still stand ing in the New Forest, against which the arrow of Srr: Walter Titre' glanced, and killed King William Rufus, is incorrect, as it appears, that . about the year 174.5, the tree alluded to (then 645 years old), became ' so decayed. that the spot would, perhaps, have been forgotten,lf rime other memorial had not b:en railed. Before the stump was removed, a tiiangular stone was erected by the Right Hon. John L Delaware, who then resided at Boldrewool Lodge, in the New Forest. As the ,tone is greatly mutilated, by pieces having heen repeatedly broken off by those who have regarded them as relics of antiquity, the following is a copy of the inscription,which,howeve , is now illegible: 014 rue Fsaar 51De...." Here sto d the oak tree on which an arrow, shot by Sir Walter Tyrrel at a 'stag,. glanced, and struck King William H. surnamed Ru. sus, in the breast, of which stroke he instantly died, on the 2J day of August, 1100." &map Stor..—. 6 King William 11. being tests was laid in a cart belonging to one Puries, and drown . from hence to Winchester, and butted in the Cathedral Church achat city." Tanw Sin That the spot wh le an cent so memorable happened, trig t not hereafter be for g tten, this stone was set up by John Lord Delaware, who. has seen Acute growing in this place." A Latin inscription also iecorded - rhe visit of 1 is late . Majesty to•the spot ; and the repair of the stone by John Richard. Rail Delaware, 1789. Tnis stone stands in i the bottom of a fine plea ant vale, about a mile from Stony Crass Tan, eleven mils from Southampton, on the Ringwood and Poole road. Soon after Rufus's 4eath, a Small oratory was erected sear the road (with a large stone cross near it) where masses were per- formed for the repose of the King's-soul; but this was discontinued very early. Leland and Camden notice it. The site is not known, and the tradition will be soon forgotten, were it not that the inn is named thereafter The family of Parke► still reside in the vicinity. A few years ago the last remains of the e tt w hich conveyed the body of the King to Win Chester was burnt in a solemn manner, the whole family of Pulk.cs stand,ing round the tire, ex:Wining at intervals, 4. there is the. last of old Rufus."' Rufus's stirrup is still - preserved in the King's house, at landhurst ; its width at bottom is ten inches and a half and measured .41 round, it compasses Wit MO seven inches. It was formerly ar, r iled as a test for ascertaining what dois kept within the forest should suffer eapeditation (i e. cutting off' three elates Of one of the fore fees). If a dog could not be aiall tbi'ough the stirrup, be was to undergo this operation to render him unfit to pursue deer. Friday, RICHARD MARTI'', Esq. M.P. went over ihe• Dromedary, outward-bound convict ship, lying off Woolwich, and inspected all the prisoners sentenced for transportation. The Hon. Member espreised satisfac tion at the arrangements made for their comfort, and , 'their cleanliness and general healthy appearance. SUNDAY MORNING AMOSEMES TS. • A mosey group, consisting of two athletic looking butchers, in the full costume of Clare -Market, a third in " a suit of sable*," and a fourth, the pink of the , arty, most gorgeously equipt in a claret-coloured hunting frock, drab keiseymeres, and blown-topped knots, were brought up beim e S r R. Biazirlf, charged with a violent astaiilt upon a Nachman on S itlll day night, or rather on Sunday morning, in Clare-court. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, Ablitun, that at the time alluded to he was just emerg ing fionthis box to acquaint the staking part of the, neighbourhood that St. Clement's clock had *ins' chimed half•past two, when he perce:ved the four personages now in limbo making their egressfrom the con: t at the very momeot when he himself was meditating an in gress.---la an iostant bis attention . was at reste.i by those " sounds unmusical to ,Natclinieh% ears,"—floor the Charley ! and bet re he could even grin; his rattle to the recover, al four rushed to the onslaught, yelling like young Catabaws, and pummelling him, " entirely" deprived him at (MCC of laiithorn, staff (for which last they soon found a use), and in short of " everything but his honour." This latter article, however, he not oily preserved as immaculate as did Francis the First, in a ilear;y similar situation ; but, more fortunate than that inonatc l ), at length succeeded in regaining his rattle, which he used with sa good a will, that what his utinoa efforts had been unable to effect, while rolling in the kennel, with four as-ailants peilorming a bolero in duplicate upon his piostrate carcase, the magic soun .1 of that little engine p 'formed in a moment. Up came a ieinforcoment of his blanket-coated brethren. Fortune, proverbially fickle, changed sides at once, the victors became the vanquished, and were borne of in ttiumph by the allies to prison. Mr. Ashton stated his case with great minuteness,,, duelling esprcially OR what he seemed to consider at " the unkindest cut of all," viz. that the major part of iglu si bating" had been inflicted with his own bludgeon, the peculiar ensign of his rank 'and dignity, his duke . deems as well as tutapien, a feeling so happily described in Byron's allusion to poor Kirke White, and which, ulutatis toirtgusdis, his Lordship would have probably rendered— 61 So the struck watchman, streteb'd upon the plain, Ns more to bawl the hour through Drury-lane, Waved his own weeps'', &c. &c."

The claret coloured * beau, on being questioned by Sir RICHAIID a s to occoPatlivs, wNritthe worthy Magistrate presumed was not that of a butcher, conArnsed his Worship's surmise, by hid mating that " A clerk be was in London gay !"
