The Colonel was one of the senior Alder men of the Corporation, and since April. 1793, lie has had the command of the militia of the city of Dublin. As a soldier, he conducted himself in a manner that gained the approbation of his country, mid as a Member of the Corporation, he tilled tbe civic chair in 1792 with distinguished hospi tality arid credit.

Ace, °addled!. asetill/ 5A.411111 OP THE STAR INSVRANCE OF/ICE. • Mr. James Mitchell, Secretary to the Company, attended to prove a debt against the bankrupts' estate, on two bills of exchange amounting to 1,1141. 14s. drawn by Mr. Mitchell, rod accepted by the bankrupts for the premiums un policies of ineurence issued by the Company. Mr. Mitchell produced a book, containing a minute of the Directors of the Company, autho rising Itiya„uithe Secretary to drew bills. Mr. TRULOTB, Counsel for the Commission, objected to the proof being rrceive.l, on the ground that the Company was a mere association of trades men, and not aii incorporated Company. He then proceeded to examine Mr. Mitchell to that point. Who doe.s 4M cogsgsay consist of ?...About 200 persons. Iry c.wi By whet mempodarOpese persons become mem.. hers of it I—Any pews holding poli c i es , o ld tug to sell, apd other persons being desirous to pur. chase, on application to the Directors, and getting their sanction for that, thty become share-holders. Mr. TaltaLovi contended that the Company was illegal, and expressly contrary to the Act of George I. providing for the fortnatioo of Companies; the .conisequeuce of Atucli on association being al lowed to exist would be, that if • person in awed with them, and sustained a loss, lie would have to mike the whole of the share-holders De. fenthiuts, and on the death of any one of them the suit 'mold be abated. The present was similar to the case of the King v. Dodd. It was impootible that the Star Insurance Company should be allowed to prove a debt uuder the commiiilion, us there was tto such Company legally in existence. Mr. MONTAGUE, Counsel fur the Star Company, insisted that it . the deposition of Mr. Mitchell was worded us we bare suited it, the proof ought to be admitted.

Mr. TRIALovs then put a question to Mr. Mitchell, whether he had paid auy money on me. count of the bills for which be had claimed to prove I He answered that he had not vet, but he lied given a party notice, when he produced the policy he would pay ou account of the bills. Mr.Tßpt.uve said, that the Secretary could not be caasidered liable for the Company es they were an illegal association, it being a serf-appointed Society, without a charter, and if a party could not bring au uetion against the holder of • bill, the Secretary, as holder, could not prove under • com mission of bankruptcy. Mr. MONTAGUE said that he did not think it necessary fur him to state any authorities in the City of Loudon to prove that Insurance Offices were legal ; there was not an Act of the Legisla ture that said individual* could not associate them selves into a Society for a virtuous purpose; the Act alluded to by his Learned Friend was to pre vent Societies for vicious purposes. He could not slate his opinion better on this subject than by re ferring the Commissioners to a book which he had written during his professional study on the Low of Partnership. If it was necessary to refer to the case of the King v. Dodd, it would be found in the gth of East's Reports. It was true that the statute had slept for a considerable time, and when the case of the King v. Dodd came before Lord Ellenborough, he laid u strong hand on it, but said that it must be 'hewn that the Company had united for a bad purpose before cooviction could take place, as they bed the right to unite for • proper purpose. The case of the King v. Webb was also in point, and under thaw consideratitsits there could be no doubt but the Secretary ought to be allowed to prove, as the bolder of the bills. Mr. TassLova replied. The Commissions:as gave their opinion that the debt ought to be allowed to be proved. Mr. Mitchell's proof was accordingly received. MR. CARROLL'S CLAIM. Mr. MONTAGUE requested that Mr. Carroll should be permitted to prove his debt for 13.4701. on three bills of exchange accepted by the Bank rupt.. Mr. TitEilLOvE said, that on the last examination of Mr. Carroll on this subject, he had declined to answer a question which had beets put to him, which made it necessary that it should be put again to him: 411: ;•.:1 _now h.. 4 -Ir - •,. • ),,,g Pena Xrillaaatilf , r . alie to die 4114 lie Vieons.: • The gold,l4olr. which. was wined to be marili in Amu of tboar articles which were carried off by some optbulastic bands from. the Coronation ban goat, was on Saturday deposited is the Jewel.

On Monday se' ght the Rev. THOMAS Wit.. iIAMS was sworn into the office of Bailiff of Brecen, on which occasion upwards of 100 gentlemen and respectable inhabitants of the town und neighbour hood partook of a sumptuous entertainment (pro vided by Mr. PHILLIPS, of the Old Golden Lion pun) in the Town Hall. Among the numerous and respectable com puny were Sir CHAS. Mo aG A N, M.P. W. A. MADoCKs, Esq. M.P, GNOMON MORGAN, E N , M.P., and the Rev. CANON WILLIAMS, of Abercamlais. In the course of the evening the party were much delighted with the urbanity, atten tion, and hospitality of the Rev. THOMAS WIL LIAMS, the Bailiff, as Chairman ; and much plea sure was experienced on Me. Maw:ices announc ing to the guests that the Eisteddfod will be held at Brecon next summer, under the auspices of Sir Cu Anus Moittia N. The evening passed with great hilarity, and after a long list of constitutional and other toasts, the company separated in great mirth and good humour. The Members of the Tewkesbury Prince Regent Survivorship Society dined together on Monday de'nnight, at the Swan Inn, to celebrate the ter mination of the period for which it was established. This Society originally eonsisted of twenty mem bers, who agreed to contribute 31. quarterly to a fund for ten years, at the expiration of which the principal and interest were to he divided amongst the surviving members ; and it is stonewhat singu lar, that only one out of twenty should have died within the period of ten years, although many of them were far advanced in life when they entered. The same conviviality and harmony pervaded this final meeting which had alinually distinguished the friendly merlins of this most respectable Society. Q. On a former day you were asked the follow ing question : Was there not a loan account be tween you and the Bankrupts, which war generally balanced every three months ? to which you an swered, There is an old account subsisting, but which has nothing to do with my present claim.— On being then asked when that account was ba lanced. you at first declined to answer, but after wards said you had no recollection of the time, but that you might probably bring it to your know lege by a relerence to your books and papers. Are you now prepared to answer that question? Mr. MONTAGUE, Counsel for Mr. Carroll, sub mitted to the Commissioners, that the Learned Counsel in support of the Commission had no right to put such a question to his (Mr. Mentague'r) client. This war not his own opinion, for if it war, he was afraid the Learned Commissioners would think hint tire►ome—lie knowing, although they had not expressed it, that they differed with him in opinion on the subject ; it was the advice of persons to his client, *lto were more able to advise him than he was.

Mr. TREK LOVZ said the amount of what hod f a ll en f rom his Learned Friend, Mr. Montague. was, that M r. Carroll's legal advisers had ad vised hi m th e t the Coasniiiisioners opinion was wrong, and that' he ought not to be pressed to gn awer th e i p te , t h a a. It was the first time he lied ever heard that a Court formed of Commissioners. or any other body . were to be guided by the opi nion of legal advis 'era, who sat no one knew where. H e h a d a l wa y s n ud e istood that Commissioners form ed their opinion up, us the argument of Counsel on the law of the case, o of on the advice of Counsel oat of doors. However - espectable they might be, and how high their opiniot is might be considered, taariss Commissioners could not recognise them witile n they were b e f ore th em . It w a s unnecessary forltl to labour to chew ho w important it was that the question put should be answered. Mr. Carrelt ad milted by his answers ;that there was an account existing. How were the I 7.01112111114101/elll to know but the bills which be wished to prove did not foim one of the items of that recut tot? and if he was allowed to prove this item, he sit sight go on proving etery item of his @casuist with the bankrupts, without he was obliged to answer respecting it iu the first instance. Mr. F. POLLOCK followed, and protested against the• Commissioners giving say weight to what hod been said by his Learned Friend, Mr. Mo o as to the opinion of Contact,. which might lave very properly taken by Mr. Carroll ; but they had! not stated their opinions before them. He was con vinced that when his Learnt d Friend alluded to those opinions, which they kut tw uothing of, that ho, done it because he could not find an argument; against what he supposed wotild be the opmion the Commissioners. Mr. Corm ll had come there to prove a lar • debt on three big s of exchange me . . . by _urge , cepted by the bankrupts, and admitted there was a sub►isting account between them, but refused to say when it was balanced. He c•9iiteiided, there. fore, that before lie was admitted to prove, the Commissioners were bouud to decide whether he, Mr. Carroll, was a debtor or a creditor out that account : for if he was a debtor lie had no right to prove under the commission on the three bills, and how were they to decide whether he war a debtor ur a creditor when be refused to be examined, or to go into that account ? Mr. MONTAGUE replied. The Commissioners slated, they were of opinion that Mr. Carroll ought to ■u►wer the question. They did not see any difficulty in coining to this decision, as the Legirlature had expounded it when it gave the lower to the Commissioners by the 48th section of the Act of George 11. to examine the ac counts between the person proving and the bank rupt's estate, and to strike ■ balance ; therefore, they were of opinion that Mr. Carroll had a right to answer, and to give an explanation of all the deal ings between him arid the Bankrupt•. Mr. MONTAGUE then informed the Commie sioners it was the intention of Mr. Carroll to appeal to the Lord Chancellor against their decision; and that lie would on Saturday next move the Commis sioners, that the meeting for the choice of assignees should be postponed until the decision of the Lord Chancellor on the appeal was known. The Solicitor of Mr. Carroll applied for a copy of the proceedings under the commission. The Commissioners said, they had not made up their minds whether they ought to grant them or not; but if he would apply to them to-morrow, they would give him a direct answer. Mr. TILESLOTE observed, that Mr. Carroll had not said whether he would or would not answer the question which Ise hail pot to him, and it was necessary that it should be entered on the pro ceedings. Mr. Carroll thought the Learned Gentlenrin ought to have mentioned this subject before Mr. Montague left the Court, as he entirely acted un der his advice ; he was willing, however, to give any answer that the Commissioners thought he ought.
