Mr. Fox left his house in Stable-yard. St. James's, yesterday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, for Chis wick, the eleg.tnt seat of the Duke of Davison' t as, and not more than five miles distant from Hyde ?irk Corner. A platform, covered with siren baize, was raised from the hall•door, gently ascending to the bottom of the carriage. the hr might enter it with more fan than by the gradation of the reps. A crowd of people aitenJeti from an early hour, at Of door, where the carnage had been in waiting a considerable time ; rime of t r m sere anti:lifted by a report that Mr. Fos would atte d the Council, at the Queca's House ; and others, by the rial account of his in- Undid departure from town. Mr. Fox had a brown loose mantle thrown over his shoulders, and vote very wide nankeen pantaloons, and a fur Ravelling cap. His appearance excited great emotion among the speEtators. many of whom shed teas on seeir - .g the change in his countenance, which lore strong marks of the severity of his disease. In the generous crowd were, however, a few mo urn from the city, who, conneeling Mr. ha's life with the tucceis of the negotiation, were awaited ly a desire to ascertain lite aaual state of his health. One of these generous gentlemen threw himself under the carriage, to take a view of his legs; but the platform completely Intfeed his peyote. Indeed, the looseness of Isis dress Fri:vented all specula:ion upon his person ; and it o.ny from his face, any conclusion could be Breen. Mr. Fox was aisiated into the carriage by a Wend on each side.— Xiscn seated in ir, be looked toned with an air of ,atisfaetion—seemed in very good spirits and his ;ye displayed all the vi• tlttty of a min in full health.

To d' justice to rho public spirit of the inhabitants, the improvements and accomniolitions are such as cannot fail to in sure a continuance of that influx of Nobility and Gentry, which has been so conspicuous through the season.—The gentleman-like conduct and affa bility of Mr. KING, the master of the ceremonies ; the amusements of the Theatre, condueted with becoming attention and spirit ; the well-supplied tables of the boarding houses ; the pleasant and well-furnished lodgings; the water and walks; are sufficient recommendations to give this Temple of Health a decided superiority over every place of fashionable summer resort. You cannot conceive bore much Miss Sutra, of Covent Garden Theatre. is admired here. Her Botoidera and Widow Clicerts , , fully evinced her claim to shine in both the leading walks of the drama, and justified the praise so repeatedly bestowed on her per formances last winter. in the London Publications.

The Doc tor is very badly .sounded, inrornuch that his life is considered to be in great danger." MAD Doos.—ln Kirkoswald parish, so general is that evil extended, that it has been found fleets scary to kill about SO dogs. The Excessive attach ment of some individuals in refusing to do common justice to themselves and their neighbours, by killing their dogs, when they knew they were bit, has ex tended the mischief, and ought to put people on their guard in othet parts of Ayrshire. An instance of this strange fatuity appeared in the concs& of a man and his wife, who allowed their deg to go about, though he bit a stirk belonging to them, which became mad before him ; and the wife, while the disorder was destroying the animal, instead of killing it. prepared some nostrums, which she. with her own hard, thrust down the animal's throat. In two days it died, end then they found it necessary to tie up the dog. which very coca became furious, enawed the rope he was tied with, and !same they got him kided, their own son was scratched in the lace by the Jog. while attemptins W bite Liner Ci.":1;•7 mewl A 1.1 111 1 . • - • •• • INSOLPRNT DEBTORS. • • SURREY AWOURNEU SESSIONS, Aus.l7.

The investigation for •he dist harp. of Insolvent Debtors from the King's Bench Prison, under the late aft, was this day again resumed, when near Lucy persons were discharged. Among those who were opposed, were— Angus Macphie, formetiv a merchant. Mr. Laws, on behalf of the Creditor, Mr. Jameson, stat ed, that the Prisoner was indebted to bim in upwards of 1001. and the case was referred to the arbitration of .dr. Pooley, a very respeftable Barrister, and the result was, that he awarded a sum 0f.5221. to he paid to 'sir. Jameson upon some bills of exchange, in the monih of May, 1804. About thi; period, the Legis lature had it in contempi ition to pass an Insolvent Aft; and the Prisoner voluntarily surrendered him self in dischage of hdt bail; but unfortunately for him , Lord Eldon made some alterations in this Aft, and it only extended to those confined previous to the Ilt of January, 1804 ; so that the Prisoner lost his opportunity at that time, and now sought his dis charp* under the present Aft. But he (Mr. Laws) should slww, under the 42.1 Clause, the Prisoner ova. IRA an ohjed of that AEL rile Prisoner having a propetty of 7001. in the Oe+r per craft.

A Petition was presented to Lord Eldon. stating these circumstances, and his L o rdship referred is back to the Commissioners for their investigation ; but nothing snore was done under the commission ; and the Prisoner, through the intervention of the present ad, sought his liberation. He contended, that the whole transaction was founded in fraud And fabrication; and, therefore, did nut some wiu.in the meaning of the A& He further objeted to the Prwoner's schedule, as not setting torth 11149 sum so invested in the S per tents. now in the dank.

Mr. Alescider Turnbull, a Student of Lincoln's- Inn, being clammed, deposed, that he was present at a coilversat un between the PI ironer and Ng. Jameson, when the former admitted he had such a sum in Bank. Mr. LAWS intimated, that he had expeted other witnesses to the fats he had stated ; but, from some circumstances, they did not . attend. His client, Mr. Jameson, was now in prison, at the suit of the Prisoner, and he was to have been brought up by Habeas Corpus. l'he Learned Chairman considered, that there was not sufficient proof to attach fraud upon the Prouner ; but directed him to be remanded far a detective schedule. Edmund Paddon was also oppas-d by Mr. Laws, on toe grounds of a defedive schedule; obtaining goods under false pretences ; and further, upon the 49th clause of the Ad, for removing his effets from his dwelling-house by night, in order to evade the payment of his rent, being upwards oi SOL It appeared in evidence, that a Mr. Skidamore had sold a quantity of combs, broaches. and other fancy articles, to the Prisoner, and suspecting his integrity, he went with John 'lron and William Wood, two of the Police Otlizers belonging to Hat ton Gat den, to the house of the Defendant its St. Mary Axe, when they found all the furniture packed up, As it for removal ; and among other things, dis covered a quantity of new guns, towlingpieces, &e. ready for sale ; also a quantity of piper, jewellery, &c. kc. which were afterwards claimed by several people as their property. 'loess Officers also fur ther stated, that they knew use Prisoner to be an arrant swindler. It turned out, however, that in all these trans adions, the Prisoner never appeared in person, but that one,S—, who bad since Bed, was the resimite sible person, through sirSoris these transitions took place. It aim appeared, that his rent had been paid up to the (loaner day. The Learned Chair man was therefore of opinion, that there was not any evidence to bring home the fraud to the Pri soner diretly, so as to remand him upon those grounds, but as k appeared that he had nut set filth in his schedule SOM.! property he had An interest in, he should be remanded for a deiedive schedule.
