Mr. HICALD stated, that this was a Petition of a, very pressing nature, and related to one of those Country Banks, which, irom the necessity.of the times, had been compelled to suspend its payments. The Petition now presented was that of Mr. Joseph Pickering, Mr. John Dryden, and otherereditors of the'Batilcpraying that! the Commission. might be superseded On ihegrotind of concert. The Learned Cottniel stated' the following facts, as they were detailed in :the Petition, and supported by the various affidavits which accom panied it. The Commifsian was issued on Vie 24th of, December last, at an Inn called the Tontine Inn, in.the, county of York, fourteen miles from Stcckton: and it was alleged that this Commission was conceited be-- tween the partners, John, Joseph, and Henry Hutchin son, the bankrupts, and some of the Commissioners. Messrs. ey, Clarke, and iLoundtree were three of the Commissioners appointed, and were Solicitors carrying on business at Stockton. On the 13th December, a . meeting was held between Grey, Cias ke, and Round tree, and the Bvkers, Messrs. Hutchinsons, previous to the issuing the commission, and, a; it was alleged, lot the purpose of concerting schemes to obtain, that object. ft then appeared, that the whole amount of the debts due from the firm was 230,0001, but that there were bills and notes in their hands to meet this demand; and among them 22,0001. in notes of the Bank of England. On the 170, December, four days after this meeting, Mr. John Hutchinson proceeded to London with the view of-obtaining money to supply ;Le wants of the Bank; and a few days afterwards he wrote, informing his partners that his efforts had been.• wholly fruitkss. On the receipt of this letter, Mr. Giey hasteded to Mr. Hurst, an attorney, residing at Northalierton. Mr. Hurst went immediately into his kitchen, and te:d Bar-. bare Smith, his servant, that he had a hundred potads in the Bank, and that it was necessary that she should swear that an Act of Bankruptcy had been committed, in order that he might strike the docket against the firm. The affidavit was accordingly made. Mr. Hurst went immediately to London, and the docket was struck., The commission issued 9n the 24:h of the same month. The Learned Counsel then read several passages from the affidavit; is support of the petition, to prove that no Act of Bankruptcy had been in fact committed, and' that the commission was 'wholly concerted. On these grounds, therefore, it was prayed that it might be superseded. The Leas CHANCILLI.OII prisosised a devote the earliest portion of his time to this petition. A WARD AND A TAILOR. Tuesday, Mr. CHINA said he had in his hand a peti tion relating to the marriage of a war:. The case had been referred to the Master, to inquire whether the pro posed marriage was a fit and proper marriage, and it he should And it to be a proper marriage to be SO. lemnised, then to approve of a settlements The Master had reported that it was a proper marriage, and had nketehed out a form of settlement, settling the whole of her property upon herself (consisting of 9001. stock, in the Accountant-General's name), and giving the chile 1 dren a vested.interest at the age of tneqty-one. The present application was for an order, re4rring it back Ito the Master to make a slight . alteration, by inserting that the sons should. have an interest at the age of twenty-one, and that the daughters should at t4enty. one or marriage; that then the report should be con ' firmed, and that the Accountant-General should be or dered to transfer the stock into the names of the trustees. Souse merriment was excited on it appeasing that the gallant was a tailor, not overburthened with worldly good. An examination into the affair induced the Loan 0111ANCEI,L011 to declare that the tailor was a proper husband for the Lady, and the prayer was allowed. The Marquis of LONDOyDaltitlf has preferred a claim to the right of •otiog at elections for Peers for Ireland. It is re., (erred to the Committee of Privileges. It appears, by a return made to the House of Com mons, that the number of persons convicted of horse stealing daring the last three years amounts to 505: of these only ten' were executed. The remainder were im prisooed or transported for different periods.—The num ber of persons convicted during the last three years of sheep-stealing is 289: of these only three were executed. Two of the Bristol aspirants for Botany• Bay were last week committed for trial, in that city, for taking a hand some shawl from the person of a Lady, in the public street, in the open day.

MOnday se'nnight the Driver Union Coach was robbed of a bag, containing nine hundred sovereigns, and a parcel, containing two a. notes, a gold. repeater, and pieces of six other watches. BILLUTTINU SoLOISRS. — It appears from the present, course pursued by the Commandants of the Foot Guards; that the Mlitary and General Orders for the Resnik. Lion of Soldiers in their Quay tees n ill be enforced im mediately, as the absence of the soldier from the housel wherein he was billetted, has generally been found to give ri.e to much irregularity, and frequently insubor- 1 dination. A number of licensed victuallers have, within the last few days, been summoned before the Magis- 1 trates of the Marylabonne Office, for having placed soldiers sent to them upon billet in other lodgings, against the condition imposed opon them by the Act of I Parliament. The Magistrate, Mr. Hostages, addressed them generally, observing, it was not the wish of the Adjutant to proceed against them harshly, he only re lquiring that the terms of the Act should be complied with, therefore they were to 'understand, that under no circumstance of inconvenience whatsoever was the soldier billetted upon them to be lodged eat of the house, and if they chose to give him money to provide lodgings elsewhere, they acted illegally, and were liable to a penalty. The licensed victuallers offered, in reply, that almost all the s yldiers %sere satisfied ar being pro , vided with comfo►table lodgings elsewhere, knov log that they had the accommodation of the taproom, whenever they were inclined to avail themselves of it; and as many publicans actually had barely room in their house, for their own families, were they to under. stand that they n.ust be inconvenienced to comply with lany such regulation? The Magistrate, in . . answer, observed, their licences imposed the compliance of the regulations, even at personal inconvenience, and any 'deviation in future vs ould bc visited by a penalty.

The CHAIWAN, having put the question for Adjournment, as the business of the day was concluded, Captain blainzca rose, amidst cries of " adjourn," to address. the i%leeting. After some observations, the film. Member proposed a Resolution, the purport of which was to substitute, for the pre-' sent class of Shipping, vessels of a smaller size, which would be much less expensive, and more efficient. The CIIMINADI regretted that the Hon. Member had not pursued the usual courtesy, in giving some notice of his intention to bring forward the question. He could only - say that, whenever the Company advertised for additional shipping, he should feel obliged to the Hon. Member to supply it at a more reasonable freight. The proposition was then negatived, and the Court adjourned. JERUSALEM.-GOOD FRIDAY. Among the various religions eerearnnies in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, at this particular season, may be mentioned the following, which is marked with extraordinary devotional fervour: On the evening of Good Friday, on dark night, as it is denominated by the Monks, they assemble in a body, when a Sermon is delivered, during which the lights are extinguished in °Her to create a more deep im pression on the mind in reference to the supernatural darkness that overspread the earth. A procession af terwards commences, when each person carries in hi's hand a lighted taper. A crucifix is borne before them, with an image of the SAVIOUR as large as life attached to it, representing him in the act of hanging on the cross, with nails in the hands, a crown of thorns on the head, and the body is marked with blood After pro. ceeding to those parts of the church which have been consecrated to same particular acts performed in them relative to the death, burial, and resurreetion of Jrsus Crum; and adorned with ornaments ; the procession arrives at Mount Calvary (which, it will be observed, the church encloses), which is ascended by the Monks without their shoes. A cross is here erected, and a Sermon delivered on the Crucifixion, and the benefits resulting from it to mankind, followed by singing a hymn. Alter this, two persons, representing Joseph of Arithmathea,' and Nicodemus, approach the place with great solemnity, draw the nails, and take down the effigy, which is so contrived that the limbs are flexible, as if it was a real body. This is laid in a if and taken to the spot where it is anointed with spices. Another hymn is chaunted, after which a funeral sermon is delivered, and the ceremony termi nate/ by depositing the body in the Sepulchre.--(From Travels in the Holy Lend by Won. Rae Wilson, Esq.) EXECUTION of JOHN DIGGLE, a LANCASTER, FOR THE MURDER OF MR. AND MRS. CASS. As soon as the awful — se"ntence of the law had been passed upon this man, and he had been tenaoved from the dock to the prison, all that firmness which he ma nifested on his trial gave way. He burst out into bitter weeping, and positively affirmed his innocence. He was immediately afterwards visited by the Rev. Mr. Rowley, the chaplain of the prison, to whom he confessed in a frank and open manner the. justice of the sentence passed upon him. He acknowledged that the bloody deed was perpetrated by himself alone: although he maintained that the subject of the robbery was first suggested to him by Ralph Weston. Ac cording to his own account, he accomplished the, san guinary purpose whilst under the influence of liquor ; and he said he thought he did it with the poker alone, and never used the spade, which it was intimated by the surgeon must have been employed in cutting the old man in the way he was found, but of float he could not speak with certainty. As to the stick stated to have been found in the house, he said it must have beat there before he went, for it was not taken there by him. That his sole object was plunder; and being perfectly well known to both the old people, he murdered them, in order, as he Conceived, that no testimony should rise up against him for the robbery. That he searched as' ' much as he could for money ; but the appearance of the old people, after their snurder, - so horrified him, that he seized the first article that came to his hand, and then fled with precipitation. That ever since be committed the murder, the remorse and gnawing of his mind were indiscribable. That he was determined to deny his guilt till legally convicted ; and that now, having dis- 1 burdened his Mind from the load, he felt more tranquil. Sunday he attended the chapel, in company wih James Simpson, John Smith, and Thomas Martin, who are also left for execution for uner in,: forged notes. On entering the chapel, he appeared to be composed and firm; and there was very little alteration in his general appearance from what it was at the time of the trial. On his being placed in the apartment appropriated for condemned felons, lie wept bitterly for a length ofi time. lie brought a prayer-book into the chapel with him, opened ir, and appeared to peruse it even during the time the Chaplain was delivering an affecting dis course from the 2d Peter, 3d chapter, sth verse. —He slept composedly the whole at Sunday night; and on Monday morning, the Chaplain again visited him. About eleven o'clock, the sacrament was admi nistered to him, and soon afterwards he was pinioned in the usual way. Exactly at twelve o'clock, he came upon the fatal scaffold, and after the burial service had been read over by the Chaplain, the drop fell, and he was launched into eternity. He appeared to struggle very little. Shortly before one o'clock this morning, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Starkes, oil and colourasan, of Drury-lane, which entirely destroy ed the same. So rapid was the fire, that the only inmate in the house narrowly escaped with his life, by jumping from a Window. A body which had been picked cut of the Thames, near Sr. Katherine's _Ducks, and which had been re-. moved to the bonehouse, waiting for an inquest, was, a few evenings since, stolen ll'elefrcm by some experi enced. re.urtection-men.

In about ten minutes the first fl for of the building was on ire; the flames ascended to the upper stories, and by two o'clock the warehouse, which is six stories high, was na fire in every part. The flames, after destro)ing the warehouse, caught the shop of Mr. Steele, the optician. the interior of which was entirely destroyed. as well as the stock of that Gentleman. Four or five engines were upon tie •spot ; but, up to three o'clock, not one of them could obtain a supply of water. They were subsequently supplied, but by the time they got a supply of water the fire had died away from want of fuel, all the timber in the warehouse having been consumed. A serious affray took place in Nen-castle-on-Tyne a , few days ago, which had nearly proved trial to two of the Serjeants at Mace.
