•S ..; ~ INSOLVENT DEUTORS.-.—We unJerstand, that owing to an inadvertency in the wording of the late Act of Parliament, intended to give continuance, during the dissolution, to all expiring Acts, the Act for the Belief of Insolvent DAtors cannot be ad ministered during the recces, as was expressly in tended by Parliament. The word. of the new Act passed a clay or two bane the dissolution, to keep alive other Acts until the new Parliament shall as semble, are as follow—" That all the Laws now in force, and which would expire at the end of this Session of Parliament, or on or before the fist day of June, 1820, shall be, and continue in full force to all in! ..ntsand purposes, until the `3sth day of June, 1820.." Now untiortunately thr the poor Insolvent DAWN who are confined in the gaols throughout the kingdom, the last Act passed by the Legislature for their relief expired on the 22d of February last. Its tempornry revival cannot, therethre, be comprehended in the words of the other Act to which we have alluded. Mr. Reynolds, the King's Counsel, who acted as the Com missioner under the late Act, has had repeated interviews with Lonl Sidmouth within the last day or two upon the subject ; it is said nothing has been decided on in behalf' of the poor debtors. But the general opinion is, that the inaccuracy in the word ing of the last Act, is conclusive against the opening of the Insolvent Debtors' Court until the new Par. liatrrent meets, and makes a fresh provision for the administration of this branch of the law. It is in contemplation to erect a matisolnem ou the island of Herm, to the memory of the late King. liticrnseu raper. Sir N. C - onant has retired from the bead of the police of the metropolis, on account of his advanced iv, being nearly 80 years old, and is succeeded by Mr. Baker, front the Marlborough Street office It is not, as far as we know, decided who is to be Mr. Baker's substitute at Marlborough Street. GLASGOW, Urn. 23.—Last night a large party of the Radical Reformers, which met in a tavern in the Galliwgate, were apprehended, by a warrant of the Sheriff of the County, and committed to the jail of this city ; Vi in all were seized, consist ing of delegates from various ;daces in the city and suburbs, as also from different towns and villages the neighbouring counties. Thy examinations arc now going on at the Court-Row, before tbl Sheriff. The appearance of the military, and the seizure of such a number of individuals, collected a considerable ctowd. The shopkeepers closed their shops, and.,f,r about an hour there was much bas il': and confusion in the street. The military guard, n returning to the barracks, were followed by a crowd of disorderly persons, and assailed with stones. We are glad to understand, however, that four of the most active in lite mob were laid hold of, and are at present in custody ; and that a pre cognition is going on, ssith a view to their trial for this daring offence. The sentinels at the jail were doubled, and in a shots time the town attained its usual tranquillity.
