The case of . Sir 'Matthew Itloxam, lint. rind Alderman of the City of London. came on for a final heating this day. At the former examina tion of this insolvent Alderman it was referred to Mr. Dance. as officer of the Court, to tin - L-44;11e certain statemeuts of accounts. and to into the truth of his schedule. The report of the racer was now reed, 'from which it opPettred that • cee-.. lain SUMO. stated to be due to the 'Plate if the i i . so iveur, aught to be reduced. and certain other. sums stated to be owing by thiflosolvesit teatime of.

'The former gentleman stated that the debt doe to hit clients, set ilowo in the schedule at 4,9701. arose out of the INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, 'SATURDAY, NOVEMBILIII. transactions of Morgan and Co. with she ineo!vesit, in his capacity of bin-broker. fie continited _ _ tliscnnatiti4 Innis fur them is the .regniar way down to June, 1818. , b At.

At the tiose of 1818, the Imolvent received from Mess►s. Morgan sod Co. several bills to get dos . counted, ..:11(1 raised 1,7001. upon them: giving Morgan and • Co. checks on a hanking•huuse (poet dated, *we L'udrrstood,) for the amount. Wfien one of these checks was nearly due, he applied to Morgan sod Co. for a.respite, which they granted; Anil when the renewed term was expired he sgaiii rtpielded further time, which they were not able to girr loin. and accordingly presented the checks at -Ow banking-Wear, where they were ieformed that 'there were no edicts to meet it; and in cootie quence of that disappointment, Messrs. Morgno and Co. failed. At a meeting of the insolvent's meth- tors, Mrsws. M.'s account was admitted all correct, and I composition entered into fur lit!unfating the claim; the terms of which not having been corroctly fulfilled, the Insolvent was arrested, and since his arrest, had tiled a bill in the Exchttgiter, and ob- t:~inrd au 114411010 U, calling on the patties to fulfil the terms . of their agreements. They therefore now opnoseil'his discharge, ou the grounds—first, .if his loosing 'contracted this debt without any probable mess' of psyilg•it. being insolvent st the '1 iur~and secondly. of haring. by filing the bill in the 'Eschtquer. adopted a trirdous and vexatious oppoindion to their jest claim. Mr. Adolphus rise counneuted as the mode in which the debt had been contracted; the insolvent Irot of ull Liking 1,000/. on loan, without any proweet of repaying. it., and aifterwattli appropt;ating to Ins ono use, money received on sccouot of the 'parties being the proceed• of bills with which he had been intruded by them-for 'the purpme of g etiim: diem tio.cotiot •est. In consideration of the former condition in life of the 'lnsolvent, he would forbear to press too Ivirdly oil the attention of the Court the sum ad mitted in the schedule to have been expended by Sir Matthew Bboxisen since ins arrest, although it did to him appear to be rather too much for au Iti tavern man. Perhaps. howiver. the Court would think that some part of the 4001. per annum. which Sir Matthew was receiving from his sjtastion of s'arekeeptr in the StalloneTy Office, she . old be at,s,ned for the beotft of hi. creditors. Mr. Adel . wine els proceeding tweet! %sourest*, when being eked by the Court if he could carry his proof be. yond hi. statement, replied in the motive. Mr. Commissioner Bowen then said, it appeared to the Court that at the tune of contracting this OA% the Itoultrut bad prob.hle espectations of it•e means of paying it. With respect to the jiiection, they could not olefin the filing of the Bill tube tither a frivolous or treaties* proceeding, as. although en answer bad been put in, the in. je•irtion had nut yet been dis.olved. IVitt respect incime of 4001. per annum, it did not ap. •i,tar by the term. of the Act, that it came within their cimtrol.

Si► Matthew Blows.) represented to them that 1w mot *horde about to receive 1,600/. from the Tit...wiry, ■nd he would then immediately take up the notes. Ile received the 1.6001. in ten days afterwards, but he had not to this time taken u,. the votes. Another eircu►nstance he should mention war, that under a prestos% emergency, Messrs. Pick ford had lent this gentleessu 370/., for Which they took his hood, and it was, is his opinion, natter a remarkable cticustistaiice that all wenn. ii of ibis debt should hare been omitted in the ache. dale previoaii to the reference to Mr. Dance. Mr. 0. POLLO44, for the Insolvent, stated, that the cheek for 3001-was paid, as was also the bill for 1001. at one month, when it' became due. They now complained of a breach of agree►urut in not taking up the non; on receipt of the money Irtau Treasury, mitl yet at the time they had accepted the payment of the 1001. as if the agreement had not been broken. He contended that this latter circumstance amounted to a waver of objection ou the ground of the breach of agreement. M r, fi•itaas concurred in that opinion, and added, that the rxeipt of the money A proved the prot4e to have been good at the time whe'si it was made. Mr. BANNATTNE then proceeded to oppose the disehalle, on the part of Mr. Day, a crecioor, fermi whom Sir Matthew had received, in 1818. two 1).11s to get discrointed, amounting to 668/. of which he paid Mr. Day 2001. Nod applied the rest to his OMI use. Mr. Day lied, like the other cre ditors, consented to takesthe Insolvent's prontisso►y notes, at six, Moe, and twelve months, for the re mainder of ins claim. but they had not hrto paid. He had then a note from Sir Matthew Bloxliam to his sun, ordering him, out of the remaiwder of the proceeds of a lease of a house at Widworth, esti mated at 1,000/. rifler lie had paid off a lien of 300/. which the son had on it, to pay the amount of Mr. LEty's claim. The ants (Mr. Bloxliani) told Mr. Dry that the property was certainly worth the sum named, and promi*ed that he would pay his claim when the amount ea. realised ; but, although the property waa sold hni,.; since, not a farthing had been p tort to Mr. Day. Mr. DEA ru, io reply. sheaved• that the property, thou t tli at the time truly stated to be estimated :t 1,000/. had afterwards deirtioratril and become so reduced in value, as on sale to fetch little more than the amount of the lieu which Mr. Bloxhoni had on it. The COURT thought the objections were strtisfac. torily answered. Mr. HEATH then stated, that he had now learnt. tLat tier office of Storekeeper in the Stationery fice was held by Sir M. Rhodium by •ppointinent. Sir Matthew being then examined by the Court, stated that he was appended to it three years hat, by a warrant, signed by three Lords of the Trea sury ; that the warrant specified it to be held ilia ! nig pleasure ; that there were duties attached to the office ; and that previous to lets arrest he called at the office every tier. The appointment wits on a stamp fo . .- SOL, and the additional fees paid en it amounted to 201. The valary was sperill in the appointment to be 400/. per annuli). It had never' netted him more than that. There were no fees or perquisites accruing to I . lle had recerved a sum of 1,60a1. since the date of that warrant, which was merely a grant made him by the Lords of the Treasury in consideration of his foreseer services. MrJ BAIIIIATTIIII then observed, that in the schedule this office was said not to be held by any appointment, but inertly froin the pleasure of the Government, whereas it scow appeared that there was a regular appointment. Mr. Comnsirstoner Hams said, the Court thought Sir Matthew Bloshuiu might very probably have meant to suite that it was use office held only during pleasure, us in fact it seemed te be. There appeared Is be a great wont or attention in drawing the schedule; but it did not appear to the Court to be any desi! , tt of concealment, which indeed could tint have been effected, because they could at lily lime have ascertained tire fe-ct by inquiry at the Treasury, or even from the Red hook. The COURT then decided that the losolvent was entitled to lees di+charrge, under the provisions of this Act; and appointed as assigne,s to the estate, Mr. Thomas Kelly, and Mr. lattliew Pickleed.

TH A FUNDS. The tendency of the fonds towards improvement, the con sequence of the great abundance of money in the stock market for some weeks past, has been materially 'misted by the failure of the Dill of Pains sod Penalties against the 'Queen, which, white its success was at all probable, was, whether justly or not is Ministerial, the source of much alarm to many of Ilw leading stockholders. In the latter stages of the proceeding. when its fate began to he foreseen, this apprehension subsided, and those whom it bail induced to sell, gradually resumed confidence, and replaced their stork. This anticipation of the event, which almost always takes place in operations on the funds, and is aptly termed iffsraionfing fads, canoed the actual rise, uu the receipt of the intelligence, to lee less than it otherwise would base been. With all the foresight that existed on the rubject, however, the improvement was full one per cent. whirh meat be deem ed very considerable in the •present state of the funds, and elKeellii that which has often occurred (on the Hews of many a glorious victory. Had it come suddenly on the market it would, no doubt, bare been much greater.

The apathy Baronet e‘patiated largely upon the propriety of such meetings as the prevent, and upon the unjust and odious character of the Bill of P dos and Penalties against the Quern.-I.4pplouse.)

He recommended a public subscription to indemnify the reapeciahle portion of the press from any impending prosecutions by Ministers, who would no doubt now call every thing a libel which had defeated their infansous projects The suggestion was received with applause. After some complimentary votes of thanks, and speeches to acknowledgment of than, the meeting broke up. BERWICK-UPON-TWEED ELECTION.
