But, to go on with my story : You must know, Sir, a few years ago. the Rector of a parish here, an honest worthy man, who thought that or 3001. per annum giveu in alms, at the altar, ill one of these fashionable preaching places, might as well go to the parochial poor. as to the proprie tor of the shop, i wisted that all the offerings should be received, et the time they were made, by the churchwardens of the said parish. A sent was ac 'Nardi-ie.:ly provided tor thrin there, in which they snot their wives were accommodated, at every in..titl.ly sacrament. It happened, however, Sir, that a sponse of one of these church-officers, de si,ous of gratifying a neighbour with a sight so much out of the common way, as a fashionable cha pel, invited her to go thither one Sunday. Her friend, an indastlious tradesman's wife, accepted the invitation glldly. curious to leans what sort of ' rites were performed in these magnificent pagodas. Wonder at the man of silk and his show-hoz. and surprise at the odd way in which the fine people said their prayers, effectually prevented all devo tion is tile Sisitor. She sat, however, till the con gregation w as di sm i sse d w i t h a benediction. a gracefid bow, and a sweet wade; and then went home, fully resolved serer .tia no to • faihtenable chapel again. But she seeded not to have made any aletertuimation no the *object. A prohibition had been issued frunittnother quarter ; for, on the following morning, the Chief Actor of the eliapel farce, waited upon the church-wiinfora's wife. and addressed bet in these wesds-es• Yon ow feasible.

Ido not know that my nerves ever received so severe a shock as yesterday morning, when I perceived your friend, Airs. Toyman, as one of my hearers: and beheld my congregation petrified with astonish ment and horror at wring a person in trade amongst on audience that is never disgraced by vulgar society.' So yo u see, Mr. Gorge, ' con tinued Mixrim, 4 , if you wish to say your prayers, without being polluted by the kennel. (as we call the common people), you have n shop for the pur pose, whenever you are inclined for half an hour's amusement of that sort ; but, ailzooks, I have something else to do than talk about prayers and sermons, chapels said churches, and such things as are quite out of my way—l've orerstaid my time, ;and Lady Nadel will be in the devil of a passion, if I should not dress her blister before Canna/4 comes to give her a lesson."

Sir SAMORL ROMILLY replied in a yak+ re plete with strong and ingenious argument. The Lucas Cnsecati.ea observed, the reason that influenced him in directing en issue in the Ant instance was, that undue influence had befit used with the servant of the Illsiekrupt, to prove the act of bankruptcy. She ball been inveigled oat of her mister's house, by a ritiliff'e follower, who infornidd her that • legacy to a large extent bad been left her by a distant relation, and it' she went with hini,he would bring her where she would receive full information; she accoMpanied him, and he introduced her into the Ake if the Petitioning (.;reettioi's Solicitor, where she waitineuced to make to affidavit of the Bankrupt's insolvency ; on the petition, praying that an isstor might be directed, an affidavit wile made by her, that she was rat is a fit state to give evidence when she swore to.the art of bankruptcy of the Bankrupt ; the disappoiut went of the legacy, and the number of questions put to her ty the persons in the Solicitor's room, made her incapable and unfit to Rive proper testinvony ; but the case was completely alteted when she went before a (curt of Lao, and confirmed the testimony she had before givisti . and he 'had not Sr doubt ou his mind bet it was an act of insolvency. Two Bailiffs came the day before and searched the Bank napes brew: for him, telliug his servants they had a writ against him. On the next morning, before day-tight, they knock at the street-door, and the Bankrupt makes his escape nut of the back-door, and is not seen again for three weeks. In his opinion, this was a continued act of bankruptcy. If he was chnrg ' ing a Jury on the question, he 'meld pnt to them whether they did not believe that the bankrupt knew there was a writ against him ? lied whether they did not believe that he left the house ou purpose to prevent as" arrest.' If the Jury were of opinion that he was not ac tuated by those motives. he would certainly differ from them. He was of opinion, that Ili-twentieths of the notice was improper; hut there was ene twentieth of it, in which the Bankrupt could net be taken by surprise, as the stuns testimony had been before the Court before its direction of the issue and be meat bare been fully acquainted with it.—ender these considerations, he thought the verdict of thi Jury a correct one, and of course be dismissed the Motion for a new trial. .LIII 11171 . simma auThe me am &mow :,..... * Tel IterielPburer^ mph eteeleig •• hie litle.
