The SOLICITOR-GENERAL prayed judgment on this defendant, who, in consequence of not appearing on his name being called over by the Officer of the Court, was declared to have forfeited las recogni zance, and the forfeiture was accordingly ordered to be recorded. THE KING V. NATHANIEL RATS. This defendant, having been convicted of smug gling, was brought up for judgment, on the motion of the SOLICITOR-Gassam., who suggested that the defendant had travelled a great distance to receive their Lordships' judgment, and that there was every disposition on the part of the Crown to treat him with lenity and forbearance. The Count told the defendant, that in consequence of the suggestion of the Solicitor-General, they would not pass any judgment on him, but would hold him, bound in his own recognizance, to appear when called on, which would not happen while he con ducted himself well. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. UNQUALIFIED ATTORNIES.--111 the Sittings of the Court, yesterday morning, the CHIEF CommissiowEa spoke to the following effect :—" The Court takes the earliest opportunity of promulgating a Rule re specting the practice of this Court, which we have unanimously agreed upon. We have long seen with regret, and with feelings beyond regret, the very cul pable neglect of Attornies who practice in it. I do nor, of course, mean all the Attornies who practice in this Court, but those who so greatly neglect the busi ness of their clients as to leave it in the bandsof their clef ks, or even of those who are not their clerks, but to whom we greatly suspect they delegate the pryer to act in their names. Had any evidence been brought before us, substantiating the fact we suspect to exist, the person so offending would certainly be suspended from acting in this Court. Every Attorney who has been guilty of this practice has been degrading the profession to which he belongs, and acting in direct opposition to the rules by which he was appointed to practice in the Court. We feel it our duty to inter fere to stop a growing evil, for which purpose we hope the Rule we have agreed on will be effectual." The Learned COMMISSIONER thln read the Rule, which is to the following effect: " That from and after the 20th day of July instant, every schedule and balance-sheet shall be attested and signed by the Attorney acting for any Insolvent who may apply for relief, and not by any Clerk. But If such Attorney should be absent from town, or prevented by any reasonable cause from making such attestation, then in such case other of the Attornies of the Court may attest the same." The COURT lately observed, that it was fearful that Creditors were often deterred from accepting the office of Assignee, on the fallacious supposition that they would be at a great expense. The Court wished it to be known generally, that the taking out the assignment was only seven shillings and sixpenee ; and further, that all reasonable expenses incurred subse quently would be paid out of such property as might fall into their hands. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.-Last night the Opera of Rob Roy was performed at this Theatre. The Charac ters of the Piece are well cast. Mr. COOPER was an able representative of the outlawed Chief. Mad. VES• TR IS and Mr. HORN, in the characters Diana Vernon and Frank Osbaldiston, sang some duets very sweetly. Mr. MACKAY, in Baillie Aka Jamie, afforded a rich treat to the lovers of genuine humour. Mrs. EGER.. TON played Helen Macgregor with her usual excel lence. The Opera is very well got up, and was re ceived with great applause by a fashionable audience. At the fall of the curtain, Mr. COOPER came forward, and announced the entertainments for this evening, by special desire and under the patronage of her MA , JUTE. This announcement was received with plaudits. SADLER'S WELLS.—This Theatre is most fashion ably crowded nightly to witness the representation of The Heart of Hid-Lothian, in which Mrs. EGERTON sustains her original character of Madge Wildfire, with a degree of talent seldom beheld upon the boards of a minor establishment. COBURO THEATRE.—Last night, an interesting Melo-drama, taken from the French, entitled. The Orphan So ldier, was produced for the first time, which met with a very favourable reception. The historical Melo-drama of William Tell, which fol lowed, continues to be very attractive. The House is crowded every evening with fashionable audiences. DREADFUL Acctozwr.—Yesterday afternoon, a calamitous accident happened at the manufactory of Mr. CUBITT, builder, Gray's-inn-lane-road, by the explosion of a quantity of strong varnish, used in polishing mahogany. One nun (the foreman) named Forester, was killed on the spot, and three others were carried to the hospital so much injured as to make it doubtful whether they will recover. The boiler being on a fire in the workshop, where the men were at work, it boiled over, and having com municated its contents to the fire, the whole instantly ignited, with an explosion resembling that of a piece of ordnance. Monday se'nnight, while several youths were di verting themselves at the mouth of an old coal-pit, in the immediate vicinity of the village of Wishaw New town, one of the boys threw his companion's bonnet into the pit, which the other insisted he should go down for; this was acceded to by the lad (William Sommers, a boy about 10 years of age), who attempted to effect his purpose by means of a tree which had been placed in the pit, and by which it was common for the boys to descend on former occasions ; but, unfortunately, on - this occasion he had not descended many feet when he lost his hold and was precipitated to the bottom. James Hamilton, a mason, who hap pened to be near the spot, immediately volunteered to rescue the boy, and for that purpose a rope was fastened round one of his thighs, by which he was to be let down, and drawn up if he felt the effects of what is called foul air ; he was scarcely six feet down when he attempted to cry out, but instantly fell back wards, and was drawn to the mouth of the pit appa sendy lifeless. Medical aid being procured, and the necessary means used, animation was with great dif ficulty restored, and he is now in a fair way of reco very. The body of the boy Sommers was afterwards dragged up, but quite lifeless, his body bearing much the appearance of those who are killed by lightning. BONAPARTE. The following is an Extract of a Letter from an Officer on tke St, lielerra station, dated 6th May, 1821: • " I have just returned from witnessing an awful spectacle— etc body of the deceased General Bonaparte, late the terror of tkewhole of Europe. The Honourable Company's ship Wa terloo anchored here at three o'clock on the afternoon of the 61 instant, and Napoleon departed this life at ten minutes past six o'clock, on Saturday, the Pith, after an illness of some time of a omplicAed nature, dropsy, liver, &c. The cause assigned for kb death by the medical men, was a cancer in the stomach. " I may say I bad the earliest opportunity of seeing him, and of being in his company, of any person on the Island, and nearly ike List view and touch of his body. I lived under the same roof for seven weeks on his first arrival, and had an opportunity of having a great deal of conversation with him; during which time he was very pleasaht and agreeable with the family I re sided with: since which I have seldom seen hint until to-day, when he was laying in the full dress of a General of the Legion of Honour, and appeared to be more like a person asleep than a corpse, and very little altered, front when I first saw him.— On his countenance there was an appearance of a pleasant smile. " He is to be interred on Thursday next, at four o'clock, on a spot chosen out by himself some time previous to his death.— It is under a willow tree (about ten yards from a spring of water, from which he has been supplied ever since his residence at Longwood), in a valley called by the natives the' Detits Penh l Nod; and at this moment there are 100 men employed cutting a road fur the body to be carried along I he is to be buried with the military honours of a General. " The road to Longwood farms an almost level circle of three miles round the place. where be is to be buried He has yeri. led his assertion, that be would never live in the house erected for him, which is finished and furnished ready, save and exes pt some trifling work In the offices. As every comfort was con• salted for hints no expense was sl'afsd " I saw Madame Bertrand and her family. She look. very mach altered for the wane, as also does the Count. .3lontholon stems to preserve his health better than any of the rest. " Napoleon's death will cause a great revolution in the affairs of this Lland ; some will be half ruined, and others will benefit considerably by it." Ezwer of a letter from a Naval Officer high in command en the St. Helena station, dated St. Helena, May 7 "Bonaparte, for several days previous to his death, had his sin's bust placed at the foot of his bed, and constantly kept his eyes fixed upon it till he breathed his last. I went with the Admiral to see his body, previous to the operation being per formed. He looked more like one sleeping than dead, nor had die least appearance of sickness. His nose and mouth I was particularly struck with, as being handsome. The countenance was placid and serene. and there was something very noble and comniandb gin it. If I had not known his age I should have judged him nut more than forty. We are now busy converting tine of our store-3hips into a trooper, and fitting the cabins under the poop for Bonaparte's establishment. They, I expect, will sail next week. We remain until orders come from England." Another letter says—" The last words of Bonaparte have not yet been recorded :, they were uttered in a state of delirium, bet still thew what wet working in his mind :•—• Mons fa were the first words, and afterwards he murmured what seemed to the hearers to be Fete gramme.' He shortly afterwards said • France, and never spoke again. The bead and face of Bona parte were immensely large in proportion to his body ; they may , with great propriety he said to be the only parts that could be reckoned fine; his face, fourteen hours after his death, was one et the most interesting that could be imagined, but from the ex treme Mit of the climate, the decay was so rapid that shortly afterwards the features collapsed ; and by the time that he was laid in state, after bis having been opened, the countenance had oadergone a total alteration. The wounds on his body were as follow small wound on the head, received from the halbert of an English serjeant at Toulon ; one above the knee, by a spent ball, received at Ratisbon ; and one near the awl*, a deep musket baU graze, that he received in Italy Ilis cranium did not give the satisfaction to the craniologists that was anticipated. A great deal of trouble was taken by Doctors Mitchell and Burton to have a cast of his face and cranium ; but unfortunately the quality of the gypsum, which was only to be procured from the Island, was such as rendered all their attempts fruitless. A short time previous to his death, he scratched an N with a penknife on a snuff-box, which he presented to Dr. Arnott fur his attendance on him, and has left the above Gen tleman 500 Napoleons. His valet (Marchand) is a very superior young man; it is said he has amply provided for him; and he made him a Came, previous to his death, exacting a promise from Bertrand and blontholon that they would respect hint as such. It appears that Bonaparte, during his whole confinement at St. Helena, never allotted any of his suite to relax in those attentions and duties that he had formerly exacted as Emperor. He always dined alone; no one was allowed to sit in his pre sence; and to insure the impossibility, be took care to have but cite chair in his room. Indeed, from all accounts, Bertrand, Montholon, and the rest of his suite, had no sinecure in their retreat with the 1....0per0r, and they have at least proved their fidelity, in their continuing with him until his death. The effects at St. Helena are said to be left to Bertrand and Montholon ; they wester, valuable, consisting chiefly of plate and the finest Sew China; a most beautiful antique cameo snuff-box, given to Mtn by the Pope, be has left to Lady Holland, with a slip of paper snit written by himself, in acknowledgment of her kind sees; but the rest of Bonaparte's Will is kept a secret at 5... Mama: The greatest enemies of BONAPARTE are now obliged to acknowledge, from Crezegte.alithority, that with all his tailings, he had a good I:ea, t ! Last week the following, accident occurred in a sand-pit, on Westward Common, near Lur.hwaite, in Cumberland :—A man, named Armstrong, was proceeding to the spot for sand ; aad seeing a young girl of his acquaintance standing at her door, not far front the pit, he jocslarly said to her, " thou host often begged an apron-full of sand, come now and help me to fill the cart•" She took him at his word, went to the pit, and whilst bath were busily engaged in dirgitl the sand, the soil, which had been under:nlned, fell, and buried them; when taken oat, Dinh were trite dead. HOLKHAM SHEEP SHEARING. MONDAY, JULY S.—FIRST DAY. The company assembled on the lean about half: past ten ; soon after Mr. COKE appeare 1, accompa nied by his Royal Highness the D.ske of Sussex, and proceeded to inspect the different gradations of pre paring flax by machinery from the rough state until it is spun into yarn. The work was done chiefly by children. who performed the labour with consider ble a _tivity and adroitness. The machine for the breaking of the flax stalks is very sim i de ; it consists of two rolls, ar►ned with bars of iron, through which the flax is pullJd by the children. The u p per roll is constructed so as to lift it up, which is performed by a foot-board, to which is attached a spring commu nicating with the upper ioli. The instant the foot is raised from the board the roil flies up, and the flax is quickly placed between the teeth. This work has been introduced by Mr. COKE since the Meeting last year, at which one of these machines was exhibited, and speedily adopted by Mr. COKE, as it afforded a means of employing the children of the adjacent vil lages. The company, after this pleasing spectacle, rode to Longlands Farm. In the progress to the farm, Mr. COKE pointed nut a piece of sainfoin mowing, which had been laid down for thirteen years. In the proper course he stated this land should have been ploughed seven years since ; but in consequence of Mr. Hommel-is recommendation, it had been manured with gypsum, which had so completely re stored it to its original vigour, that it this year bears a luxuriant crop, and upon the average had pro duced last year one ton per acre more than it would otherwise have done. The cavalcade next arrived at Longlands, where the prize stock and implements were exhibited. The implements consisted of a drill roll for light lands, invented by Mr. JOHNSON, of Hempton; it consisted of a roll with the usual ap paratus for sowing. The machine was provided with small Wheels with buckets, which received a certain quantity of seed for distribution, and apportioned it egularly through the conductors to the ground. The principal object►on to this implement appeared to be its size and weight. A plough with a drill attached to its side was also shewn ; the scuppers were adapted to any grain. It was calculated for ploughing and drilling at the same instant. Mr. COKE then led the way over the Quarles, Waterden, and Egmore Farms. The state of cultivation and fine crops of these farms drew from the visitors frequent expressions of admi ration. The company returned to dinner about four o'clock. , When the cloth was drawn, Mr. Corte rose to express his acknowledgments to the Royal Duke, to the many Noblemen, illustrious Foreigners, and celebated Agriculturists, who had done hi.n the ho nour to attend the Meeting. This Meeting, Mr. Once said, had been originally held for the benefit of Agriculture, and for the benefit of the county of Norfolk. This Meeting had extended itself; and he hoped it had also extended its benefits all over the world. He then expressly stated, that although at this Meeting politics were not discussed, yet, on the present occasion, Agriculture and the Country had arrived at such a state, that he should not, as there were so many Gentlemen "so eminently qualified to speak on such subjects; so entirely prohibit the intro duction of political sentiments as heretofore. Mr. COKE said that he had always had an opinion that a Committee on Agriculture could do no good. He, however, as the Representative•of Norfolk, the first corn county in England—the garden of England-- supposed that, in all probability, he might be placed on the Committee. Such being his supposition, he had gone to Mr. Goocrt and requested to know the Gentlemen on the Committee, and to beg that his name might be struck out. Mr. Goocu said that he should appoint only one Member in a county, and that his Colleague's name had been inserted. " Of course," said Mr. Corm, "my Honourable Colleague is much better qualified than I am !" Mr. COKE then gave— " Constitution and King." " The Queen."—(.l laud burst o f applause.) " His Royal Highness the buke of Sussex, " and thanks for the honour he has done me in coming to Holk ham. After loud cheering the Royal Duke expressed hit thanks, and in doing so said he Was perfectly aware the country laboured under great difficulties, but he placed the firmest reliance on its resources; "for," said the Royal Duke, " there is still stuffleft with us to bring us out of all our difficulties; and sure J am that meetings such as these are well calculated to produce union and good understanding both at home and abroad." His Royal Highness then gave— " Live and let live !" which was drank with three times three. The Duke of Sussex again rose, and after advert ing, in the warmest terms of approbation, to the obli gations due to Mr. CoKE, gave his health, when it was received with that simultaneous shout of feeling which proved that it emanated from the heal t. After this applause had ceased, Mr. COKE rose to express his thanks for the kind ness the company had manifested to him. The worthy host alluded to the late Report of the Committee on Agriculture ; it was a delusion, a system which had been carried on for years : the Report had been de ceitfully drawn up. Mr. Coke had never expected any good to arise from it; and the farmer would be disappointed of any assistance, so long as the present system was continued. Mr. Cote then complimented Mr. Hume on his extraordinary exertions in the House, which had laid bare the extravagance and patronage posses' ed by the Government, which, if continued, precluded relief. So long as taxation existed, patron ' age would remain; and while patronage remained, the present system would continue. Acting on his (Mr. ' Hume's) principle,all the prc>ent supporterswc aid soon desert the Ministry ; for it was not from principle they supported the Government, but from selfish motives. He should wish to have forborne to enter upon poli tics, but it was impossible, in such times as these, for men to conceal their feelings and opinions. It was time to tell the farmer, that the system which had been carried on, t , n lit. was what they had teen kng before told, was a system of delusion. Mr. Coke then alluded to the Hon. Member for Kent (Mr. Ho nywood), from whom some knowledge might be gained, whose County is called the Garden of Eng land; and truly it might be called so, since it grows. very fine gooseberries. He thought the Honourable Gentleman would give some credit to Norfolk for its agriculture.• Mr. Coke, in allusion to the late repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax, said, that Mir, st-rs had forced it upon them,. for they could not gt t t :err creatures to vote for it, and theiefo .e they gave it up. • H: was soli y that Mr. Cut wen, after the e•ser-
