the High Sheriff of the county, *ere not to have taken any precautions for keeping the peace, or being present at Knightsbridge during the affray had declined to interfere for the suppression of the riot? Had the gates of Knightsbridge barracks been kept open all the day—had the obnoxious W9laieri been suffered to stand at the gate during the passing of the people to and from the place of the burial—had no one in authority to whom the people might look with affection and respect been present to check their violence--had a serious 'quarrel ensued, attended with the loss of many lives, the ministerial papers would, we doubt uot. have exulted in these circumstances, and the High Sheriff might possibly hare escaped censure. Vet upon further thought we could not promise him so signal an escape, for albeit the Minister of. the Crown did not in his arrangements for keeping the peace on that day condescend to communicate with the first 'Magistrate of the county ; yet if any evil were to arise from such remissness, the Ma gistrate thus despised and overlooked would be the first to be reproached for an alleged neglect of his duty, and every puppy in the train of the Ministers would conceive himself entitled to snort and bark at the supposed delinquent. Lord BATHURST has promised that an inquiry shall be instituted intothe occurrences at Knights bridge on Sunday treeing, but he hew not said whether it is to be conducted in public or in private. Two representations differing, RS Lord BATHURST has said, "in many essential particulars," have been presented to the Government. We do not know who the writer is of the statement which differs so essentially from that made by Mr. WA ITN'S AN, no► shall we now venture to express an opinion upon its merits, or upon the degree of credit that may be due to it, but the circumstance of there being two conflicting statements upon a subject of so much general interest, requires im peratively that the inquiry into the truth of each respectively should be conducted in the most solemn mid public manner. The Treasury Journals, acting in their usually unfair manner, publish from day to day statements of the occurrences at Knightsbridge, under the ap pearance of communications from correspondent., who, however, are ashamed to authenticate their narratives by adding the Dames of the writers. If a man were conscious that he was telling the truth, why should be hesitate to disclose his name ? The trick, however, is new too stale not to be obvious to every one. - The pretended letters are, io fact, writ ten in the Office of the Paper in which they are published, and under such circumstances it is no d►Aicult matter to assume an imposing signature, such as " A Lower of Troth"—" A Country Ma goarate"--" An Old Whig," &c. &c. The public, who will at no great distance of time be called upon in their high judicial capacity to pro nounce their final judgment upon this matter, need not, as we think, be pus upon their guard against such insidious attempts to prejudice their minds ; they most feel that they ought not to receive any thing as evidence which does not present itself in an authentic shape, and that it's statement not yeti. fled by oath ought not to be admitted, with still greater jealousy ought they to regard every repre sentation which appears snonymously in the public papers, and for the truth of which neither name nor character is vouched. There are now two mails due from Dublin, and we remain without any papers or letters from that city later than the 26th, at which date the NINO remained on his visit to the Marquis of COMTNGHAM, at Slane Castle.

" The Irish," sly, the Dumfries Courier, in their present state of over-excitation, bear a strong resemblance to the English at the termination of the Commonwealth; said the reade► who is not fa miliar with that period of -our history, wall hardly believe that the following sentences were penned nearly two hundred years ago : This was owe of those popular torrents where the most indifferent, or esen the most ■verse, are transported with the g I passion, and adopt the sentiments of the community to which they belong. The prospect of peace, concord, liberty, justice, broke forth at once from amidst the darkness in which the nation had lung been involved. The view of past calamities no longer presented dismal prognostics of the future: it tended only to enhauce the getters' exultation fur t hose *MIPS of happiness and tranquillity which all men coufidently promised themselves. The Calhoires, the Pro &striate, forgetting all animosities, mingled is tulllllloll joy and transport, and vowed never more to gratify the ambition of angry leaders by their calamitous divisions. The populace, more outrageous its their festivity, made the air resound with acclamations, and illuminated every street with signals of jollity and triumph. The rapidity with which all these events were conducted was marvellous, and discovered the passionate zeal and entire unanimity of the nation. Such au impatience appeared, and such an emula tion in Lords and Commons and City, who should make the most lively expressions of their joy and skity, that, as the noble historian expresses it, • man could not bet wonder where those people dwelt who had dune all the mischief, sod kept the King so many years from enjoying the comfort and support of such excellent subjects. The King himself said that it surely must have been his own fault that he had sot simmer t diet, possession of his (Irish) throne; since he found every body au zealous in promoting his happy ac cession." FUNERAL OF HEk LATE MAJESTY. STADE, AUGUST 21. The inhabitants for many miles round this town left their houses, and came here to witness the ar rival of the Queen's remains yesterday, and stayed to see the procession set out to-dry for Brunswick. The sight, which was truly affecting, made a deep impression on the spectators : I have seldom had an opportunity of observing such heartfelt sympathy as the people universally manifested. Each pe►son seemed to feel for the Queen as if her. Majesty had been a um and dear relative, mixed with a sort of •we, inspired by the exalted rook of this unfortisuate Princess. Dr. and Mrs. Lushington were the only persons of consequence who attended the royal corpse yes terday on its passage up the canal, and lauding here. Lord and Lady Hood, and Lady Ann Hamilton, &c. &e. who left the ships at Cuxhaven, fur the purpose of coming hither over land, were not iu time to join the impaling -. ceremony. At four o'clock this afternoon, as you are already aware, the procession began to move forward. All the horses in this part of the country are put in re quisition, upwards of seventy being necessary for the hearse, carriages, and vehicles, of one descrip tion or another, which 'unite up the cavalcade. To an Englishman, the appearance of the procession, as it left this place, was, in the extreme, grotesque. A great part of it was made up of German wag gons, into which several of the attendants and other persons were stowed. These waggons are the na tional vehicles here, and almost the only machine used by all classes of people for travelling. At Cuxhaven, Lord end Lady Hood, Lady Ann Hamilton, and the rest of their party, were obliged to put up with a carriage of this descrip tion ; that is, an open waggon; drawn by four draggle-footed horses. In this way they travelled eight German, or about forty-six English miles a distance which the waggon performed in some thing more than 12 hours. The procession is ex pected to re4cll Brunswick early on Saturday, and it is supposed that the interment of the Royal Corpse will not be postponed beyond that day. The following is the route fixed upon for the fu neral cavalcade, and preparations have been made at the places mentioned below for the proper re ception of the Royal Remaios. On Tuesday (this day, when it left Stade) it will proceed to German Miler.* Buttchule IVedoestlay, to Welk Ther.day, to Celle 8 Friday, to BargsdotE. &flunky, to Brunswick * A German mile is about En g lid, awe..

The piece of plate was got up for the occasion by Messrs. Makepeace and Co. Serle-street, Lin coln's Inn, London, and reflects the highest credit on the skill and taste of its manufacturers. It is • plateau, nine fret long and two broad. Its value is estimated at 5001., and on the centre part is en graced the following inscription, and the anus of Mr. Littleton : " Presented by the Coal and Iron-Masters of the South- Western District of the County of Stafford, to Eduard Juba Littleton, Esq., is testimony of their unfeigned re spect, esteem, and gratitude, for his judicious, zealous, sad indefatigable exertions in fru s ng an attempt to imposes Tax upon Inland Coal—Amur Domini 1821." About four o'clock Mr. Littleton arrived, and was usl.ered into a large room, where the 'date wits placed for the purpose of 'greenling, and where the Committee appointed for the occasion were waiting, when Thomas Price, Eeq. after a suitable address, presented the same. Mr. Littleton returned thanks in a neat and appropriate speech. The cowpony then sat down to an elegant dinner, and the eve.t inte concluded wish harmony and good humour.— ( Wolverhampton Chronicle.) iNSoLfrEkt DEBTorts' cOukf. OLD BAILEt, FRIDAY, Aubori 31. E. B. Engles; a Marine racer, was opp o sed by various creditors.

Mr. HEATH, ou the part ur the losulrent, readily coorented to this. • Ale. D. Powicst, on the pert of certain ere - ditors whose debt: had been contracted in 1914 and 1815, opposed his discharge, on the ground that he had, at the time of contraviing them, no reuson nble expectation of being able in pay. lie had, in 1814, left Rochester in debt in the amount of 4681. from thence he went to Beth, which lie left 236/. in debt. He then went to Abergavenny, where lie contracted further debts to the amount or 490/. Thr Learned Counsel contended, that being an greatly involved when he quitted Roches. ter, he could slot have any expectation of paring the debts which he subsequently contracted. The Learned Counsel also complained that he had put his clients to expense in defending two actions un necessarily, and as a proof of hie intention to liti gate, he read part of a letter which lie had written to his wine-merchant, who had proceeded against him. He cautioned him of the inutility of throwing good money after bad. and stated the expense lie might put a Plaintiff to by sham pleas, writs of error, Ste. Mr. Haven, for the insolvent, expeeted, from the solemnity with which his Learned Friend had read what •as merely an extract from what hod been long in print, that he had something to state against the Insolvent besides his hewing merely pleaded the general issue to actions commenced against bun. He had expected he would have proved that Mr. Eagles had made his (Mr. Pol lock's) rheas starer some of those evils which a Noble Lord (Erskine) had humorously detailed, oinicluding wilt , t the taking of the Plaintiff's t!". 4 , 4 7„„,, for conterrept of the Court of Chancery. The letter, lie said, was a salutary caution, which he regre'tird his Learned Friend's clients had not at tended to. He contended that, under the present Act of Parliament, it could not be objected that Mr. Eagles had not reasonable ground of expects. tion of paying certain creditors, because he was itsiebted to other persons by whom he was not pressed. The COURT had not usually considered the plea of the general issue as a vexatious proceeding, and the letter which had been read did nut induce the Commissioners to put • different construction on that plea in the present initatice. The Court thought differently in the other and mote material point, and could nut agree with the construction put Upon the Act of Parliament by the ingenuity of the Insolecnea Counsel. The Court thought he neither had the expectation, nor indeed the honest intention of paying the debts which he had ectlititicted. tiIiATH begged the Court would give Min permission to ask one question of the Insolvent. The Court gave leave. The purl)°, tof this addi tional examination was, that thee losolvent had ex pectation of a legacy of 4,0001. fume his uncle, John T. Warm, E4q. of Taunton, but lee had died about fifteen mouths ago, leaving him nothing. The COURT did not think this sort of expects. tion, depending, as it did, on the caprice of an in dividual, and which might be years before realiza tion, even if ever realized, was of a nature to very the ease. The Court could not but advert to the circumstance of the time which the Insolvent had remained in prison (two years). during which time he had received 460/. great portion of which might have gone amongst his creditors. The judgment of the Court therefore was, that he should not be discharged till hr had been twelve wombs in prison at the putt of his detaining creditors, from the dine of filing his petition. ft is a proverb among the hospitable inhabitants of the Isle of Man, that, .6 when one labor man r,w hese, another.
