(rROM TILL COVINTRY litliALD Or MOLT ) A public meeting was yesterday holden at the County I Hall, in this city, fur the pnrpose of considering the pro ;piety of petitioning Parliament for an amendment of the presentilaws respecting Insolvent Debtors, which was most respectably attended. The MAYOR being called to the Chair, briefly opened the business of the meeting; and Mr. Carter, the Town Clerk, having read the Requisition, the Mayor observed, that se well was he convinced, not only of the propriety, hat of the absolute necessity, of the object set forth in the Requisition, that immediately on receiving it, he decided on calling a meeting on the earliest flay that appeared to present itself,allowing due notice to be given. Ile feltthat there could be but one opinion as to the necessity of the measure for which this meeting' was called—that of peti- , tioning Parliament fur the repeal of the present Insol vent Deboors' Act. It was not his iutrntion, neither was it for him as Chairman, to off r spy lengthened oh aervations to the-meeting. He hail no doubt, that, feel ing the importance of the subject, there were gentlenteu present who hadzoine prepared to enter upon it; and lie should be most happy to attend to any observations from them, and in every way possible to facilitate the object for which they were assembled. Mr. Beck then rose. lie said he was quite satisfied that every Gentleman present would agree with him in what lie was about to offer to their notice, respecting the Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors. It would be quite unnecessary for him to dilate on the subject of the present meeting, as it would be a reflection on the Gentlemen present to suppose it necessary that Ire shout& use any arguments to convince them of the bad effects of this iniquitous act (as he might so term it); for he had' no doubt they had all experienced its injurious consequences. He was satisfied that the Act was pea -1 sed from motives of humanity, to relieve honest nnfor innate debtors, but it was evident that it had failed— that it had been grossly perverted—that it had produced an effect stirred! contrary to that for which it was ori ginally intended—and that it was calculated in its opera. tions to benefit the fraudulent debtor, to the honest and industrious trader.—He (Mr. Beek) was sore he should have the opinions of all Gentlemen present in favour of embracing this opportunity of petitioning for its re peal. The professional Gentlemen present, as well as the Commercial, would, be bel.ereil, gladly join with them in so doing t for he understood, that even with regard to them it might be said in some measure Othello's ocenpation's gone," as they also felt its injurious effects. lie should no longer detain them, but submit for their adoption a resolution founded on the remarks he had made. Mr. W 11.3107 said, he conceived there could be but one opinion, as stated by the Mayor, upon this subject. It is in the know ledge of all trades persona, that the facili ties with which debtors are discharged from just debts have been greatly encreasing every Jay since the Act has been in operation. He had seen a statement in a newspaper, that since the Act has passed, the debts of those who had taken the benefit of it had amounted to about nine millions of money, and that only :60001. had been paid upon that amount. Mr. iVilmot then stated a case which had come before him professionally, in which a debtor requested one of his creditors, to whom he stood indebted 201 to arrest him, in order that he might go to prison, and take the benefit of rho Act; stating. that he (the debtor) would give him Vied seen rity for his debt of 20f. ; his object was to avail himself of the benefit of the Act, and thereby defraud all his creditors, except the one who should - be the means of enabling him to avail himself of it. lint this Pea pre vented by Mr. Witmot giving the creditor, who Was his client, such advice as :ended to counteract it.. - - wee Mr. SrAll!tald be bed iwys =l „....w ieu at= WWI , Ate lareirbrMralrlMMMattva TO the amount that had been paid by time debtors who had taken the bend!' of this Act, and also farther statements connected therewith, which he would read to the Meeting. (The statement read by Mr. Sharp is similar to that which was read at the Meeting of the Inhabitants of Bristol, and which appeared in TLe Statesman the following •reek.) Mr. Sharp concluded by saying, he thought, instead of being entitled An Aet for the Belief of Insolvent Debtors," it ought to be called "An Act for the Relief of Frareest Debtors." A number of Reaolations were p- wed unanimously, and a Petition framed tlereon. The Prayer of the Pe tition is, we conceive, such, that every Tradesman will most heartily join in; and we feel assured it will be very rtainerourly signed. An account was received from Bath in the cones, of yesterday of the death of Don Francisco Antonio Zee, the Colombian Minister, on Thursday evening, at the York House;in that city, where be had been staying fur a few days. The disorder of which be died was dropsy. Tattsmat.—About a year ago, a considerable ntinther of gentlemen of property and high respectability in this neighbourhood resolved upon associating themselves for the better maintenance acd display of a virtuous at tachment to public liberty. An union composed of such materials seemed to comprise all that was desirable in patriotic sentiment, with every thing that was adapted to its honourable and 'useful exposition. The motives avowed were in the highest degree creditable to the members of the association, who necessarily conferred, by their individual respectability, a corresponding dignity on theinstitutiou to which they had subscribed. The in itiatory meeting and public dinner, which took place in consequence, augured the most welcome results for the future interests of the body; and we have now the satis faction of stating that the accession of a considerable number of gentlemen, eminent in station and powerful in local influence, has placed this association far be yond the chance of a merely ephemeral existence.— (Ilrentex Coaritr.) A circumstance of considerable interest to the natu ralists may now be observed in Reading. A " Black Martin, or Swift," as strong as in the summer months , Is flying. chiefly in the line of - Broad-street, Butcherarow, and King-street. This WO was first seen on the 13th inst. The main body of these birds retire from this country before the middle of August. generally by the 10th (which is but a short time after the flight of their young). and not a single straggler is to be seen on the kilth. 'This early retreat is wholly unaccoantable, as that Bum is often the most delightful in the year. But, what is yet more extraordinary, they begin to retire still ear lier in the most southerly parts of Andalusia ; where they cab by no means he influenced by any defect of heat, or even (as one would suppose) of food. This is one of those incidents in natural history, which not only baffle the lies of the naturalist, but elude' also his con jectures. It is recorded in " Bingl q's Animal Bio. craphy," that is the month of Feb. 1766, a pair of Swifts were found adhering by their claws, and in a torpid state, under the roof of LungnorChapel, in Shrop shire : un being brought to the fire they revived, and moved about the room. CURIOUS Law CAM—A farmer's meadow, near New York, was infested with grasshoppers, D:ea.ling the destruction of his crop of hay, lie collected bis relatluns, armed with fifes, drums, tin kettles. and frying Puns, and drove them into the fields of hie next neighbour. The crop of the latter was eoneermently in a few days completely destroyed. He commenced an action for trespass, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff -14 dollars damages and coats. DRURY•LA'd6 lIIICATREs Lest l'ight's performance proffered en overflow. ThOTO yes the same anxiety on the pert of the public. as was ma nifested at the Tragedy of Oarflo, and the same exertion on the perkof the two Tragic Heroes to reword that anxiety. — terwse's master-piece of Venice Preserved was the Play; Mr. Youtsb was the Pierre, and Mr. KEAN the Pierre, with all his faults, is a powerful drEmetie character; APT, with all his love, cuts but a very sorry figure so far as his actions Jail principles are concerned. but the situ,- lions in whieli he is placed, and the poetical language In which his sentiments are clothed, afford a great actor an op- portunity not only of saving him (ruin contempt, but even of raisins him into importance. We need scarcely say that this was effected by Mr. KLAN. Mr. YOUNG'S Pierre always struck us as a bold ant menly performance. The repetition of last night was well calculated to confirm this opinion. for it abounded In spirit and energy. His first scenes with Jaf fier were well managed, and his taunting botn of the con spirators and the senate were admirable. lie was also very Impressive in the reproach of Jaffier's treachery. Mr. KraN's Jaffier was a fine effort of the art. He contrived to keep the baseness of the character out of view by the forms whit which be depicted its agonies. Nothing could be more solemn than the manner In which he delivered the oath; but it is unnecessary to pert icularise further respecting efforts 30 well known. Mrs. West, in the character of Belridera, exerted herself with cousidereble effect, and was deservedly applauded in all the scenes. The whole went off with the spirit that might be expected. (Tense • CORIMPONDINT.) The attraction of Mr. Kean and Mr. Young perform log together, as Jaffier and Pierre, raised the expec- Amine to such a height that long before the curtain drew Isp tb.c hewn:twos crowded to an overflow, and apparently ; sot a seat was to be had. On Mr. Kean'. eatrh he was .greeted with the most enthusiastic reception, by the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, as was Mr. It oung. We have before seen and noticed Mr. K. an in the cha racter ofJaifitr, and therefore it 'foes not need any comment, other than lie performed It last eight with in- creased effect 111 r. Young's Pierre is one of the finest pieces of acting on the singe. The scene with Jaffler rousing hint to join in his enterprise, and the scene atter the conspirators had been condemned, were truly beau• tiful and sublime. Mrs. West played Belvidera to the greatest advantage, her mad scene was a chef &duvet of acting ; and the whole of the performance appeared to Ore universal satisfaction.

In half an hour afterwards the fugitives were pursued by the lady's brother, who was armed with pistols. He traced them to the Bricklayers' Arms, when they quitted the chaise, and no further clue could be obtained.
