On ascending and passing the tower, his condescension and affability to the ladies and others, in waiting to welcome so distinguished a visitor. was most engaging. The sublime scenery of Matlock, es men from the heights, and along the serpentine walks, drew from his Im. perial Highness the strongest expressions of admi ration and pleasure; and followed, as his progress was, by minty elegant females. his Imperial High. nem, by one of those fine traits of high rank and high breeding, reversed his person on the pony, that his attention to the ladies might be marked by the highest possible compliment. On entering the clo ver's every object attracted his attention : the beau tiful flour, delicate crystals. emerald-like carbonate of zinc, the ores, minerals, Sec. were all admired and observed with minute attention; and, on entering the grand and noble Hall of °Man, • silent pause of awe end wonder arrested fur is moment the atten tion of his Imperial Highness and the noble visitors. The Hell of Enchantment, which was greatly as sisted in its groupes of interesting females. dressed iv white, with wax-lights, was splendid beyond de scription. The Lion's Cave. ROO feet high—the well of rock water, of which his Imperial Highness drank—the Roman mine and other cavities, were all viewed with so much interest, that he declared, in his brother's immense dominions, or on the Conti nent of Europe, nothing of such magnitude, or of the like interest and character existed ; it made the deepest impression on kis mind. which could never be effaced. He collected and was furnished with specimens from this interesting cavern fur his own private cabinet, and also for the Imperial Museums at St. Petersburgh and Moscow, and departed high.. ly gratified, with a determination to renew his visit the next morning, and again ou his return in six weeks from his northern tour, for which preparations are making, and for other noble and distingui.hed visitors. who have notified their intention of visiting this great national object.

ORDERS OF COURT. • Mr. Mou'rscua—.• I have to make a request of your Lordship, which I must confess is inconsistent with the present practice of the Court. I:wOuld not trouble your Lordship if the fault did tint law With myself, and I am anxious that dly fault should not be visited on others. I held a brief in a .Binik rupt Petition before his Honour the Vice-Chan cellor, and on actkrant of my not being present in Court, it was struck out of the list, and my client, the Solicitor, made liable to the costs of the day. I feel more concerned on this case than I otherwise would, ou this account, that when I saw his Honour's printed order that the absence of Counsel would have this effect on Solicitors, that 1 returned my briefs to the number of 200 to my clients,. knowing that my duties here, and my avocations elsewhere, would not allow the to be always ill at tendance on his Honour. The brief in the present instance was neglected to be returned by my clerk, and I cannot think of the Solicitor bellig visited with his neglect, which in fact is mine, as I eon answerable for his c.. duct." The lAN° Cll4 scer.Loa—" There is an order now p re pa ring , Mr. Mtaltiglie, that will oit this Court on a footing with the other branch of it. It has been my study to accomm o d a t e m y se lf to every person in this Court, whether Counsel, Solicitor*, or Suitors ; and if I have not hero fortunate enough to give them all satisfaction. I have the consolation of knowing that no man that ever sat here legs taken more ;wins to accomplish that object, and I cannot bring it to my reculleciion that I ever acted un courteously to any person which the hesitates of this Court has brought before me. I confess I could not have made the order which has been made in the other branch of the Court, relative to its practice, without having given notice to the parties concerned. This may by some be consider ed wrong, that notice would he lowering the dig nity of the Judge. I cannot think so ; for it is im possible that we can justly censure for non attendance to duty, before that duty is pointed out. I have sat on this bench 16 years, and never before thought it was necessary to visit Solicitors with the neglect or absence of Counsel. However yob will see my order when it comes out."

Ou this statement of supposed facts his Lordship had granted the injunction. The Defendant had put in her answer, setting forth that her late hiss band was • publican and a journeyman weaver, and that the Plaintiff was also a journeyman weaver ; that her husband died insolvent, being indebted is hid brewer 3001., and that the letidlouti of the public-house put in a distress. The brewer said lie would be satisfied to take an instrument which he understood had been its the posses sion of her late husband, and theti iu her's., of a tenement ; she, not being able to read or write, gave it up ; but since understood it was only a promise of a lease for seven year., five of which had expired.

There was another meeting held yesterday at Scraggies, of those Gentlemen who have determined to persevere in petitioning Parliament against the proceedings at the late County Election, and the return of the Sheriff upon that occasion. The inert tog was very respectably attended, and such Mea sures adopted as were considered nutrient awl sieces: wiry in the first instance. A subscription was im mediately entered into, and collected on the spot, to cover all immediate expen-re, and step* were taken to obtain a general one throughout the CoHoly, sufficient to meet the vigorous prosecution of the appeal. The opinion of two English Counsel of eminence, conversant in such subjects, was directed to be taken, and in consequence, statements of the circumstances, which took place at the Election, were forwarded to London last night, upon the opinions on which will, of course, depend the mode of proceeding to be hereafter adopted. We can pledge ourselves for the minute accuracy of the statements thus submitted to Counsel, having at. tended and noted down the entire of the extraor dinary proceedings.—(Southern Reporter.) The importance of savit.g Assize Commissions, by opening within the time stipulated, has always been felt, and in no instance has this importance been illustrated more decidedly than upon the Ox. ford Circuit. We allude to an occurrence which took place at the Lent Apsizes in 1786. Mr. Jos lice BULLER was then one of the Commissioners. He had been detained very late in Coosa at Worces ter, on the Cousinission day for StaffOrd, and having barely time to accomplish the distance before mid. night, he set utf with all possible speed. The night was extremely inclement, a heavy fall of snow cone on. and by the time he reached Wol verhampton, the country presented one pure sur face of white, the roads being scarcely distil guisla►ble, and the progress of the carriage being of course greatly impeded. At Wolverhampton, one of the bailiffi for the county of Stafford, as was customary, met his Lordship, to receive his coin mends, and to know at what time and place the Fl hi Wirral should come to meet him. Mr. Justice But.- Leo, upon looking at his watch, found that he had not a minute to spare to save his Commission ; call ing for his horse, therefore, he mounted it, and sending the Whir forward of his guide, rode full speed to Stafford, where lie arrived just in time to open the Comnsission before midnight. The mare dote goes on to state, that the poor bailiff; from his being extremely lusty, and uoaccustou►ed so such violeut exercise as he had undergone with the Leagued Judge, tool a fever, and died iu two days.
