JULY 11. Vent Debtors now in confinement were voluntary inhabitants of prisons; he was for the Acts dying a natural deavh. that the per ions now in confinement might have a few months cootinement as it punishment for their conduct. Mr. Alderman AV AlTllst.sw expressed a similar opinion. If the Acts were suffered to expire, many of the debtors now coal fined would soot, discharoe the-a:selves. He adverted to the eir aimstarices attending former Acts; and said, that when they were expected to pass, the prisons immediately became full. Ile thought the .let ought not to be renewed ; that a breathing time of about six months ought to be allowed ; to see the effect of suspending the law. Many persons, it would be found, would immediately discharge themselves. As to the construrtion of the Curt, it was most objectionable. llow could they be sa:i.ficol when they saw the Commissioner of sir own wound imposing fees; all of which he could not even give an account , and those fees, to the amount of 4 sir 3.te to/. in the course of two or three years, divided between the ones and his clerk. How could the Ministers behold suet proceedings and rest satisfied ? As to the cloirge of cruelty against the l'itizens in opposing the losolrent lrehtors' Aet, lie rebutted it by observiug. that the Corporation had been most anxious to procure a mitigauon of the criminal Laws. Regarding the motion before the House, he should hare beam the note pleased with the Learned Mover had he attended the lownlittee, and endeavoured to amend the low b 0 as to meet with the approbotion of the other llouse. Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that the public mind was as much against reacting to the old law a. etintiouiug the present Insolvent Acts; Iry he thought, under all the circumstances, the best course would be to adopt the motion. lie hoped, early in the next Session, this questiou would be sot at rest. Mr. Catoasro remarked, that there were questions in It of so mitchimportinee to the public, lie lametded that it Web deemed necessary to pronigue Parliament by the I oh and isth of July insteial of continuing the Sittings till August. winch would afraid the opportunity of doino Jo dice to the ptiblic. Mr. G. LAMB. atter all he had loomed on this etilklat in the emnrnioce, could not consent to the continuance, even for a short period, of so obnoxious anal injurious a law. %Vat answer would tho modal now made be to the thousand; of petitioners who had approached that Homey and he dial think that a return to the cld km would be less fetal than continuing Acts under suli,!) so many heeds were emiimitted. Serjcant OusLow asked why the House could not sit as long Li tile loader why weer the ['mullions to adjourn, when the other !loose was sitting; why were th 1 , to puss such a measure as this in tee day ? if this were a Hes.' tie Act, should they he tequired to adjourn ? Certainly not Then why not consider such nice sort, property and chid/crawly. fr. R. BATHURST aupponed the motion, observieg, that as the Commoai took the lad, they were compelled to wait ha the Lotals. Lord ERRTHOTG]n lamented. after all the painful and exem plary enquiries of that littae, that they should be compelled to cor.onac a law which they had stigmatized as of most pernicious tootle icy, merely because the Lords had not time to examine the yrrnsiont of the new Act. As they hod stigmatized the Inwd vat Acts with sonic severity. be thought it would be adviseoble to rezert to the old law. . _ Mr. %V. Cot trrys;sy thought, after all the remonstrances received from the people, that they would not he doing itn•r by coMinuing the obnoxious Insolvent Acts—he r.voar..ble to ;everting to the old law. as the must yivia.a )IC searse to be adeptel at the present moment. bir J. WIN mitt bore testimony to the humane feeling of the l't*: of I.mnl et n, as evi:o"..tl in their proceedings rcpnling the i'ri Tf.nal Laws. He added. that the other House did not reject new Bill from want of leisure, In.: because they disapproved cf tc.s of it; Raul that the present Bill teas lot eling in contra to die prayers of the people. It would afford them the crpertunity to bring in a permanent law on the subject, and thereby to comply with the pwtyrrs of the country, Mr. Alterman Well4i asked on what principle the House could agree to pass such a measure in one day, and without any strentlincnt whatto er to be made? And was the Court to impose fees its it leased , and to divide the fees according to its o p tion? Talk of the ti tie of that House—what was its time eompared with the interests of all England, with this i n to. tire& of thoteands of pounds of injured tradesmen ? *rangers were then ordered to a ittalritw.

Sir J. G Alla M said. that this MI would create great disgust tl:roughout the country, particularly amongst the tredlng inte rests. _ . .

The authors of this profanation, alter twing introduced themselves by night into the cemetery of the Conupune of Neyron karroudisseittent of Tre von:, in the department of the Ain, opened the tomb of the Sieur Antoine Quequet, late Mayor of that Commune, They then cut the head off the dead body, and boiled It for more than an hour in a put, in the hope that, after this operation, the head would point mat to them the good numbers in the Lottery. 'file guilty persons are all known, and have been indicted before the f:orrectional Police ut Trevoux. The number of suicides attempted or executed in Paris during the months of January, February, March, and April last, amounts to 124, of which 33 were by females. Among thou were 64 un married, and 60 married men or women, The greater part terminated their lives by means of tire. anus, coal vapour, or by drowning ; among the lat ter there were 4(i. Of the entire number 53 destroyed themselves front a disgust of life; the re. mninder in consequence of derangement in their affairs, nillismduct, play, and debauchery. Corn. Pitring this period in the prtscnt year with the corresponding period of tit,) last year, there appears an increase in the present year at 41 4.104th5, It appears hum the Scotch papers, that the Lord Provnat and several officers of the Corporation of Edinburgh have bees compelled to attend the Com mittee of the I louse of Commons on tho tasks of the Sewell burghs, in consequence of their having discovered a previous order to transmit iniiirmation on certain points connected with the pending inquiry. Deacon Gillespie protested against the determination of the Town Council to dialibey . the order alluded to, es likely to lead to the step Knee taken by the Committee, and thus to aerostats a great and unneeessarY expenco which tbe .
