My DEAR Morrierr-1 I have not, beds for the !Vt., tvw for any one at present. The H.'s can xleep at Mans•, field. I do not know that Iran be compared with Jean- Jacques Rousseau. 1 have not the ambition to resem ble so illustrious a fool ; but this 1 know, that I will live as I like, and as secluded as possible. When my apart ments are ready, 1 shall be delighted to receive you. At present that would be inconvenient, and would in commode both )ou and me. You cannot be displeased that I have made the bowie habitable, notwithstanding my departure for Persia in March, or in May at West, since you will occupy it till my return ; and is case of accident (for I Irate already made my will, which shall be drawn in due form as 53011 if 1 am of age), I have settled that you shall have the house and grounds during your life, and also a sufficient allowance. You see, then„ that my improve• ments do not entirely arise from selfishness. As I have a friend here, we shall go to the ball for the sick* on the 12th; we shall drink tea with Mistress Myron at eight o'clock, and we expect to see you at the ball. If this Lady would procure us a couple of rooms to dress in, we should be much obliged to her. If we are at the ball at ten or eleven o'clock it will be sous enough...— We shall return to Newstead by three or four o'clock —Adieu; believe me very sincerely, BYftON. 2.—TO TILE SAME. /freistead Abbey, Nov. 2, ittoi. MY DEAR MOTHER—We will forget, if you please, the things you speak of, I hate no wish to remember them. When my apartments are ready, I shall be de lighted to see you. As I speak but the truth, you should not suspect me of using deceit. I furnish the house more for you than myself, and shall put you in possession be fore I set sail for India, which, I hope, will take place in March next,' if no obstacle present itself. lam now putting the green drawing-room in order, the red will serve as a sleeping-room, they will soon be ready- -at least I hope so. I would wish you to ask Major Watson (who is an old Indian) what things it %%11 be necessary to furnish myself with for my voyage. I have already found a friend, who had undertaken to write - to the Arabic Professor at Cambridge, to ask him for some testimo nials which lam desirous of obtaining. I shall easily procure from Government letters to Ambassadors, Con suls, &c. also for the Governors of Calcutta and Madras. I shall put my effects and will in the hands of trustees, amongst whom it is my intention to place you. I have heard nothing of H—. As soou as I do hear any thing, I will inform yhir of the circumstances. After all, you must admit that my project is not a bad one. If Ido not morel now, I shall never do it; and all men ought to travel one day or other. I have not at present any tie which keeps me at home—nei ther wile, nor sisters to get married, nor brothers, nor . &c. I shall take care of yon, and when I return I , shall make, perhaps, a legislator. Some years passed in other countries will not render me less capable of sustaining this character. If we do not travel in other countries than our own, we cannot be just towards man kind. It is from our own experience, and not from books, that we ought to judge of men.—l am, &c. BYRON.

INSOLFENT DEBTORS' COURT; JANUARY 4. . James Harvey,late of Elstow, Bedfordshire, butcher, applied for his discharge, when Mr. BA RAY, the Counsel for Mr. %%bite, an opposing creditor, stated to the Court, that all the insolvent'; debts were due to persons living in or near Bedford. It was, therefore, the desire of the creditors that he'should be removed to the jail of that town, preparatory to the ensuing Insolvent Cir cuit. The Learned Geutleman proceeded to state, that he had a further application to make, which was novel in its nature. It did not emanate from him, yet he was called upon to make it, and the Court would then say whether or not they could entertain it ? It was this the opposing creditor being aware that he must re move the insolvent at his own expense, was therefore desirous that be should be delivered over from the pri son to a competent person, instead of incurring the ex pense of an officer. Mr. Commissioner Law wished to know who would be liable in case of escape, if the prayer was granted ? The Cusie Commissional' said, that persons who called upon the Court to give effect to the, Act of Par liament, must take the evil with the , good. The Court then ordered that the opposing creditor should have un til the 17th instant, to consider whether he would re move the insolvent or not. Should he determine not to do so, the insolvent would be heard on his petition on that day. Mr. Hankin, the attorney, observed, that he would undertake that tile insolvent should be removed, and here the matter ended. Hugh Mills Banbury, Esq. late a student in Ca. tharine Hall, Cambridge, was opposed by Messrs. Pot. I • IpOCK and HEATH, for twenty-ooe creditors, residing in Cambridge. The insolvent stated, that in April hit he went to Cambridge, and was soon after followed by his wife I and a young Lady, who continued to reside with bins I there till the Ist of September, when he returned *to Walwortb, where he had previously resided. He soon after obtained a situation with the British Union In surance Company, which he would have retained, but for the annoyance of hi, creditors, which also pre vented his returning to the University to take his de gree. He wa ; not son nor nephew to Sir C. Bunbury, nor had he ever so represented himself, nor said his father was Commissary-General of the lonian Islands. .He was 28 years of age, and married 18 months. His income at present was -under 1201. per annum. So early as the year 1812, he had an allowance from his father of 6001. a-year, and has since spent upwards of 1:0,0001. On going to Cambridge he entered himself it Fellow-commoner of Catherine Hall, and soon after ir i :t ri cooncert, and engaged several eminent - vocal per amongst whom were Flacoi, Sapio, Campo ease, and other eminent performers. The entertainment was supplied by several of his creditors, who were not ince paid—he bad pines, ices, flic.—He had possessed an extensive wardrobe, but the greater part of it was in pawn. He had not mentioned the duplicates in his ache dole, because he had given them in discharge of a debt to his brother,in-law. He was in the habit of driving is gigs—sometimes tandems, but they were hired. At the tune he went to Cambridge he was indebted 704 mostly to tailors ; while there he increased his debts to 5001. and upwards. The affidavits of A. Campbell, Esq. Wm. Ford, Esq. and John Barnet, Esq. kc. &c. all members of Cam bridge University, were put in and read, and stated, that the insolvent had represented himself to be the son of A. Bunbury, brother of Sir Charles Bunbury, and was in the receipt of 9001. a-year, and Led been an Officer in the 16th Lancers, but sold out two years ago, for the purpose of going into the Church, Lord Grey having promised hien a living of 2,0004 a year, but the Bishop of Salisbury had refused,him ordieation till he had *mended course of Divinity in Cambridge.— One of the affiAiavits stated that the insolvent had represented, the living as being worth 6,0001. a-year: Several other affida.v.tts, made by creditortwere put ia, which stated that the insolvent had obtained credit from then by similar representations. His father is a West India planter at Demerara. He hopes to regain his father's confidence, who is very rich, mad then intends to discharge 'all his debts. Mr. Poccoee addressed the Court in aggravation, an i Mr. COOKE in.extenuation of insolvent';. conduct. The CHIEF Courerasionee, after examining the in, .Ivenes papers, said several of the services of notices on his creditors were incorrect, which would prevent the judgment of the Court being then pronounced; but he, thought it necessary to say, that , the insolvent': conduct, isiad proved him so,reckless of all consequences, that it Mould be necessary to remind him for a considerable length of time. 'The cue excited considerable interest, and the• Court was . :rowded to excess. • EDINBURGH, JANUARY 1. • Thia-morning,heing the first of the year, was, ac- cording to custom, ushered in with noise and revelry, but we are happy to say without any breach of the public peace. From the outrageous scenes which re cently took place, considerable apprehensions were en tertained that the occasion might be productive of riot and mischief, which the police were prepared instantly to repress. Numerous - parties patroled the streets, and l a powerful reserste, together with the High Constables, were in readiness to act on emergency. Happily, how-. ever, there .was no necessity for their interference.— Everything passed off with good humour ; and there were only two or three individuals taken into custody, who were, from inebriety, incapable of taking care of themselves. CILASGIOW, JAN. 1.••••• N LW YEAtllt.....The high wind and heavy rain which continued during the greater part of last night, seem to have had no effect in de terring those from stirring abroad, whose inclination and duty led them to welcome the approach of the new year with the customary festivities and solemnity. To judge from appearances, it bas really been a busy night with multitudes. The streets, at an early hour this morning, we, e more than usually crowded, and we never saw so many people upon them, intoxicated, upon any similar occasion, which proves that both ;Loney and whiskey were plenty, add used freely. Ex cept diversion and noise, however, nothing cot cuirod to disturb or annoy the inhabitants. POLICE ISTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. John Britten; a young man of very gentlemanly appearance, was brought up on the following charge—Mr. Pullen, Solicitor for the prosecution, stated that the prisoner formerly lived as Clerk with his uncle , D. Britten, of Basinghall-street, but in conse quence of some family disputes, he left that Gentleman's service, shortly after which he called at his warehouse and took sway seve ral bales of goods, and for which the present charge of felony was made against him.—Mr. Boma." who attended as Counsel for the prisoner, said he was glad that he had an opportunity of giving a very erent version of the story told by Dir. P. The fact was, that during the time tiroprisoner was clerk to his uncle, the latter borrowed of him 100:. and offered by way of security to assign over to him a certain debt of 1701. for packing some goods which then lay in his warehouse. Inconsequence of a family quarrel, the prisoner left his uncle's service, and by the advice of his Solicitor, took possession of the goods to bold them till his advances to his uncle were repaid. giving a receipt for them. There was, therefore, no felonious intention. The Loss M*voa immediately discharged the prisoner. • MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday being the day to which the further examination of Mr. Ventura, of Shenly Hill, Hertfordshire, who is in custody upon a charge of bigamy, was adjourned, to give time for the production of sufficient proof of the marriage of Lady Co!born, who is alleged to be the lint Lady with whom Mr. Ventura was married—with Sir James Colburn, and who is still living—Mr. Ventura was, about two o'clock, brought to the Office, from the House of Correction ; but Mr. Anournus not being able to attend, the case was further adjourned to Friday next. Yesterday, two men, named ,ffiseph litmus and Thomas Nett, were charged with the following coach robbery. Jonathan Mobbs, one of the Bow-street patrol, stated that about half-past nine o'clock the night before, he was on duty, with three others of the patrol, in Piccadilly, and saw a coach coming into town from towards Hyde Park Corner, and close behind the coach followed a one-horse chaise, driven by the prisoner Hatt; just as the coach got to the end of Dover-street, in Piccadilly, the prisoner Titmus mounted the coach from behind, and unfastened a box that was on the top, which be handed to Hatt, who took It Into the chaise. Titmus then got down from the coach, which drove on, but he still continued to run after it. Witness dispatched Smith, one of his party, to watch his movements• while he himself secured Hatt, who still continued to follow the coach with the chaise. Wit ness asked Hatt what box that was be bad In the chaise ? but he de nied having any box in it ; on searching,however, the witness found the box now produced, together with a new saddle, and a Gentle man's box coat. Witness then took the prisoner to the watch house, widths horse and chaise to the Grew Yard for the night. Richard Tripp, the guard to the Hibernian Holyhead coach, -stated, that on Sunday evening he took up the box now produced at she booking-office at Shrewsbury. The box was fastened with several other articles of luggage on the roof of the coach, and se cured with a leather strap and a cord; he saw the box secure when the coach stopped at lianintersmith, and did not miss it until he was apprised of the robbery by the patrol. The reason, the wit ness said, that be did not perceive the prisoner while removing the box, was, that it rained desperately at the time, and in order to shelter himself, he (she witness) got between the body of the coach in front, and the coachman's seat, where he covered his head with a cla e t coat.. being eats' upon for their defence, Titmus stated Ideal:Z: 1 been the driver of a eabriolet for a bk. Abbot; but is not now employed. He denied basin taken the box, or that he had ever mounted the Pasch more than once before the time he was apprehended. Hatt said that he had been a servant in several Gentlemen's He had' been employed by Me.

SPANISH AND ITALIAN REPUGENS.---A numerous and. highly-respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Ply .mouth was held on Thursday last, at the Guildhall, for the purpose of contributing towards the relief of the 'distressed and destitute Refugees, when a subscription in their favour was resolved upon. Two prisoners effected their escape from Brecon ,County Gaol, on Monday, by forcing back the bolt of the lock of the outer door, with a key formed out of' a composition of lead and other metal, part of which was found broken in the lock. The High Sheriff for Glamorganshire has received, from the Secretary of Suite for the Home Depart ment, his Majesty's pardon for Joseph.

'From what has been stated respecting the weather, it will easily be perceived that fox-hunting -must have -sull'ered in eonvequence.

BOXING. Thursday afternoon, a pitched battle was fought he the Hunting.

The fire is supposed to have been occasioned by the carelessness of 'fa work-boy taking a candle from his lantern in the barn. There were four North American Indian Chiefs at Moorfields Catholic Chapel, on Christina:-day. One of them is a King of one of the back settlements. They came in a carriage provided for them by Government, and on entering the Chapel, they knelt down among the poor, until they were discovered by the attendants at the Chapel, when they were shewn into a sect in the gallery. .
