At half play the O. P.'s, as usual, appeared in the pit, but more feeble than ever. They could not., fur some time, either raise the 0.

As fresh supplies, however, poured in, they ma naged to keep up the row at such a pitch, es to,de putty the latter part of the Opera. and the whole of the Entertainment, which was The child of Nature. Severlil placards were hoisted, and battles ensued between the standard-bearers mid those who attempted to pull theta down. Among the most prominent•of these placards were two or three in the form of large caricature prints.—One was a caricature of Mr. 'Neruble, asking what do you want ?" while a bull, pursued by a consta ble with a staff in his hand, stoops with his horns to toss up st, medallion, on which was written 0.

It appeared, by the petition in his build, that Mr. Firmin resided at the Rookery. near Col chester, and was a respectable -attoruey, and a wan of property ; that he bad the .Wisfortutie to labour wider n lowness of spirits, at certain lealfolllll of the year, during which he used to imagine tiiiuself un able to discharge his debts ; is appeared, that a geutleinan'of die irime of Moore was indebted to him in the aunt of 10,0001. which, though :veil .4e. cured, occasioned him, at those intervals, great un easiness; Petitioner was accustomed, upon 'those occasions, to consult with Mr. Woudgate, • a solicitor, and his relation, for advice. Mr. IVuorigate, who peifectly understood the nature of his disorder, used to tripe a of him to keep up his spirits, as the only thing- necessary to the success of his affairs. in the year 1608, the Pe titioner was attacked with this milady, aiol Mr. Woodgate, for the purpose of rinsing his mind, drew up an account of his circumatitices; from which it appeared, that tw was possessral of 40001. after paying all his debts, and I,iOul, re-year. Subse quent to this, Mr. Woodgate told Colonel Master, (the Petitioner's in-other-tit-law) that the best way to act with respect to Air. Firtnio, would be to get an act of bankruptcy issued against het, mad that it would be necessary to have a friendly lawyer to conduct it. Upon this, his affairs were again esti mated, and it appeared his debts amounted to 42,0001. and his property to 60,0001. Mr. Coke reinotistratA against the bankruptcy, which put an end to it fur the present. Upon this, a clsodestitte cerrespontleime took place between Mv.

How they could have considered mich a measure advantageous to hien or his family, it was illirMleibld tr guess.— The act If bankruptcy, which they made out against lons, was a short absence from his house while on a visit with a Mr. Skely, a relation of his. Upon the whole, the circumstances Were such, that he trusted there would be no difficulty in grautiog the prayer of the petition. • Mr. WETHEWAL (Upon the same side) observed, that it ens oat neceitary to attribute tivitive., in order to du away the coininisOoti of bankruptcy. Whether the Defendants were of optnioa, that it would be serviceable to Mr. Finish% or isot, if it was not his owl: act, he %wild he relieved front the consequences. Seine Gentletneu Law Stationers were tieri•ioning creditor , : but if they were not ig norant of his salsency, at the time of their applica tion, lie trusted that they would not be sanctioned in involving him in row. The grounds of this ease be cou,idered so extremely prominent, as to pre chide the necessity of a ruteute discussion. Mr. Nluaysaus (upon the same side) apologized for taking up the time of the Court. es:iecially alter the able statement which Sir Samuel Hominy had made ; but the question was of such a kind, sad the result so important 'to the, future peace, per. haps to the life of his client. that lie would claim their indulgence in the present instance. lie contended that Mr. Firmin was a professional gentleman of property, at } lie titre the act of bankruptcy was issued; and that he was so. to the knowlmlge both of Mr. Woodgate and Colonel Master. The Learned Gentleman went through all the eircurostanCes of the case, with great inieuteness ; he produced affi davits, not only tate-ming that Mr. Woodgate uol vised and planned the bankruptcy ; bet that lie threatened, in cuss: Mr. Firinin shonld resume bu siness again, to cry down his credit. In the answer given to this, it was allowed, that he might have re monstrated against his resuming husiii. as ; hut de nied that he had ever threatened to cry down his credit. The bankruptcy was the act of Mr. Wood. gate and Colonel Mister. Mr. Finish] had nothing to do with it, nor his friends. Mr. Coke, so far from agreeing, offered a sum of four thousand pounds N keep it off, if possible ; the answer giveo by Mr. Firmin to this was curious; he said that no such offer had been made to hits ; he supposed it was made to Mr. Woodkstes who took care to conceal it. Ile was himself willing to execute a deed of trust, hut nothing short of bankruptcy would satisfy those gentlemen. lie did nut wislel to ascribe improper motives to them, but it was int possitile not to see that many presented therte•elves, which might he ascribed to such conduct. He he lirvrd the intention was originally good, but that inteution was exceeded. The treatment of Mr. Firmin might have been the result of kindne,s, but every one meat see that it was a mo.t mistaken kindness, something . like that of the bear to the gardener, who, in its solicitude to pi otect his slum bers from a fly that had alighted In hit face, killed the fly with its ;►aw, but ►ore dr hit face in the action. He insisted ►trongly .au the letter frnin Mr. Woodgate to Sir William Rush, .iu conse quence of winch. Firiniu lost the business of that geotleman.
