INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 22. ha Leech, formerly proprietor of the London Coffee' ;house, applied to the Court to be discharged, and was un 'opposed. The insolvent had been before the Court on a 'former day, when his case stood adjourned, to perfect the service of a notice on a creditor. The insolvent had been la bankrupt. He ascribed his present situation to having !taken a tavern in Chancery-lane, which failed in consequence lof his being imprisoned in the Fleet Prison. The COURT ordered him to be discharged. William Duncan Campbell was opposed is person by Mr Hunter, a creditor, and supported by Mr. Cook. The in olvent was discharged under the Act in 1829, and again din July, 1833. His present application being within five lyears, he was bound to show that he had incurred no un• necessary debts. It appeared that he bad formerly entered into large contracts, and had great expectations from the South American Government. His claims had not been settled. Under his first insolvency he had given up pro perty amounting to 39,3391, and his debts were uncle; 4,000/. His property would pass, after the payment of those debts, to the credit of his second estate. His pre sent debts were about 4441., and his principal creditor was Captain Thompson, his brother-in-law, who bad made hiai ,weekly advances for some time. T. 40 insolvent was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. QUEEN VICTORIA AND THE JOLLY " GOD."—Yester day Charles Jackson, a rough-spun looking artisan, with a juniper countenance and a dirty apron, was brought up by a policeman, charged with having been found in a state of intoxication yesterday morning at an early hour, incapable of taking care of himself. The constable stated that, on going his round, he found the prisoner lying in the road, kicking about and flourishing his arms, exclaiming, with a clip of the King's English, " Wictoria for ever !" He went up to him and asked him to get up, but he paid no atten tion to him, and continued his toast, " Wictoria—Wictoria for ever !" Finding him insensibly drunk he called anothet policeman, with whose assistance he carried him to the station-house, and all along he called out " %Victoria-- success to Wictoria !" On their arrival at the station-house he was placed before the inspector, who asked him hi: name, and with a vacant stare he vociferated " Wictoria!" and nothing else could be got out of him but " Wictoria— success to Wictoria !" and he was locked up ; but during the morning his loyal and gallant feelings were so efferves cent that he disturbed the whole of the prison -house by his cries of " Wictoria, Wictoria for ever!" The prisoner, who on being placed at the bar seemed to be more collected, but still had the effects of his excess upon him, listened to the evidence and smiled. The MAGISTRATE asked him what he had to say ? Pri soner (rubbing his hands) —Why, your Worship, I am sartainly werry sorry, but I met with a few shopmates, and they axed me to go and see the proclamation of Wictoria, and I went to Temple-bar ; and after that ere we went and had a few pots together and some gin ; and when I got into the air I felt myself overcome, and I fell down, but I didn't 'salt anybody to my knowledge. MAGISTRATE—No ; but you have given a great deal of trouble to the constables. You must pay a shilling and be discharged. Prisoner—l hope not,, your Wuship, I havn't got sich thing about me. MAGISTRATE--,YOU must find it, or you'll be locked up. The gaoler was handing him off, when it was " proclaimed - ' that the prisoner should be forgiven ; and, being brough• back, he made an unsophisticated bow, thankel his Wor ship ; and on getting outside the office he swore that he - would never get drunk again until the next "proclamation.".

BENEVOLENCE OF A MAGISTRATE.—Yesterday a young 4 irl, about 14 years of age who gave the name of Sarah Ledbitter, was brought before the Magistrates under the f. flowing circumstances : Police Constable G 168 said that he found her sitting down in Chiswell-street, about twelve o'clock that day.' She appeared very much fatigued, and had a bundle with her. To his inquiries she stated th a t her f a th er lived ati Crawley, in Sussex, and that she left that place the morning before, in company with her uncle, and they were coming to London, but that morning he left Croydon with out her. She then walked up to London, and had not, had anything to eat. Sh e h a d h a d some b rea d a nd cheese! at the station-house. In answer to Mr. Codd, she stated that she did not. know why she was coming to London, and that she had never been there before. She had some relations in Lon don, but she did not know where they lived. She gave the names of the resident clergymen at Crawley. The policeman said that the bundle contained a change 'of linen. Mr. Conn directed that she should be forthwith sent back by the coach to Crawley, that she should be sup ported while in London, and that she should have a shilling to buy her victuals on the road ; the whole of which ex penses he would pay. Mr. SIMPSON, a county Magistrate, also gave her sow victuals. She then left the office ih the care of the police.

Brown and Co., of Liverpool, and everything remains in the same unsettled state, many conceiving that the Bank will only continue their succour as long as they consider themselves safe in doing so, without any, regard to the impression which may have been conveyed generally. It is well known that in the case of Messrs. George Wildes and Co., many bills upon them were readily cashed, after they had been before the Bank, and were understood to 'be winding up their affairs, because the parties who took them, like the public in general, placed reliance on the de cision of the Court of Directors. They, however, were deceived, and may it not be in the instance of Messrs. Brown and Co. ? As the Bank of England appears to he reluctant to give any correct information. on the subject, we think it would be much to the advantage of Messrs. Brown and Co., if they came forward on the occasion and stated what was the engagement of, the Bank. Until something of the kind is done we feel convinced that distrust will prevail, and the paper of that firm will not be so readily circulated as if all doubt were removed. Money is getting daily more scarce both at the Stock Exchange and in the commercial world, notwithstanding the advance which is gradually taking place in Consuls. This, at any other period, would be an unaccountable anomaly, but is now easily explained. The demand for produce is increasing —the spirit of speculation in com mercial matters is also returning ; yet, at the same time, confidence is not sufficiently restored to induce the holders of Consols to sell out for the purpose of placing their money in less certain but more profitable channels, and hence the • demand for money to obtain the different articles of mer— chandise, as sufficient credit cannot be obtained,—Morn liny Paper. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JUNE 21. • Up to three o'clock this afternoon the intelligence of the King's demise had not reached the capital. GENERAL ASSOCIATION.—At the usual weekly meeting held yesterday, an address, transmitted to the Association by the Dundee Radical 'Reform Association, was presented. The Dundee reformers assure their Irish brethren that they may rely on the firm aid and support of the Reformer:: of Scotland. A good deal of discussion afterwards took . place on two motions made by Mr. R. O'Connell. The first was to postpone the announcement of their second year's existence as a National Association to the 15th July =next ; his second referred to the name to be thenceforward • borne by the Association, should the insane and unjust policy of Lyndhurst and ~the Tory faction drive them to another year's existence. The anniversary of the glorious victory of Waterloo was celebrated on Monday by a grand review and sham fight, on the Fifteen Acres, Phcenix Park ; the 18th of June having fallen upon Sunday. The hour originally an nounced for the review was one o'clock, but a subsequent order was issued early on Monday morning, postponing it until three o'clock. A vast concourse of persons were in attendance, and numerous fashionable vehicles thronged the 'space near the flag-staff, upon which was hoisted th e U n ion ;Jack. BY THE QUEEN. A PROCLAMATION, 'OR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF PIETY AND VIRTUE, AND FOR THE PREVENTING AND PUNISHING OF VICE, PRO FANENESS, AND IMMORALITY. VICTORIA R.

HIS LATE MAJESTY WILLIAM IV With respect to the statement which has appeared in th papers as to the remarks made by his late Majesty, who. the tri-colour was presented to him on the part of the Duk of Wellington on Sunday last—the following, we have it from authority, were the actual words, or as nearly so as is possible to repeat them, which our late revered Sovereigi. did make use of on this highly interesting occasion : " Tell the Duke," said his Majesty to the bearer of th. Waterloo trophy, by the presentation of which his Grace Wellington holds the tenure of Strathsfieldsay—" Tell di( Duke I wish I could have received this flag at his house, and have seen him once more preside at his dinner among 'the diminished ranks of his brave associates. lam very ili I know, but I hope it. may please God to carry me thou& this day, as I should grieve to think that my death shouk !cast even a momentary gloom upon a day which is so brigh► 'in the annals of my beloved country." When the Queen Dowager visited the chamber in whirl our late beloved Monarch was laid out, her feeling, wet. so powerfully affected by her melancholy bereavement, that she fell into hysterics, and was carried out by her atten dents. Her Majesty's health is seriously affected by be' • continued attendance on the late King. Marlborough House is immediately to be got in readineo for the Queen Dowager. PR On Saturday last Dr. Baldwin, M.P., swore informations against Mr. R. O'Driscoll and Mr. Henry Bourke, the former for sending, and the latter for delivering him a hos-' tile message. Yesterday Mr. R. O'Driscoll lodged informations against Dr. Baldwin, for having unprovokedly and without any cause whatever, addressed language to him calculated to lead to a breach of the peace. The parties were bound over in 2001. each to prosecute, at the Assizes. - I It was yesterday stated at tlie political club-houses, that Forei gn D ur h am i s to lie appointed Secretary 0f stat , f or the Home Dep ar t ment , and that L or d P a l merston i s to ho, called up to the House of Peers. THE HARVEST. We are told there never was a greater improvement in the growing crops generally, than there has been during the last week or ten days. The clovers are very good aIH most everywhere, and coming fast into blossom, and there' are several pieces of grass already cut. The forward Swedes' are a good deal bitten by the fly. The ground works re markably well for 'the turnip sowing ; and the wheat fal-; lows, in the Weald, are in a very good state, generally l speaking. The flock-masters have lately had rather severe l losses in their lambs, and the flocks are for the most part' very poor.—Brighton Gazelle. Since Thursday last we have had the most favourable weather for bringing fora and the different crops. We may' s.iy that since then we have had rain and sunshine equally.' The quantity of rain that fell on Friday night, caused thel river to overflow its banks miles below Glasgow.—G/as-I r .gow Chronicle. Mowing has commenced under the most auspicious cir cumstances in the immediate vicinity of this town, and be fore the week has expired, will be very general through- Out the neighbourhood, should the weather continue fine. The late penetrating rains have had the best effect upon the grass, and an abundant " shear" is fully expected. Some of the cider-growers in this neighbourhood, speak of a re cent blight upon the apple-trees. From a variety of in-, quirks, however, that we have made, we are glad to find it is but paitial.—Tawilon Courier. We are sorry to hear that a blight has appeared in the' orchards in some situations in this county, to a consider-' able extent. The late rains have nearly doubled the crops ,of grass, but the hay harvest has not yet commenced in' this vicinity.—Hereford Journal. _ The bark seasonlas latterly proved very favourable in this county, 'and the present prices are—stock 6!., cop pice W. 10s. per ton. One of the largest ricks Been here for some years has been formed at the usual place, near St. Martin's-street, in this city. It is from thirty to forty feet high, is supposed to contain about 700 tons, and is, consequently, worth some thousands of pounds.—Here- i ' ford Journal. -1 COURT CIRCULAR. THE QUEEN. KENSINGTON, THURSDAY EVENING.—ShortIy after five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by the Duches s o f K en t, l e f t K ens i ngton P a l ace, i n a pr i vate ' open barouche, without any attendants, for the purpose of taking an airing. After proceeding across Westbourne green, to some distance down the Harrow-road. her Majesty and her illustrious mother alighted from the carriage and 'walked for about a quarter of an hour. They then returned Ito Kensington Palace, where they arrived a few minutes before seven o'clock. Her Majesty on going looked rather (pale, from the fatigues of the day, but on her return she appeared much refreshed. During yesterday large numbers of the nobility and gentry called at the apartments of the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Sussex, and the Princess Sophia, with cards of condo lence and congratulation. Prom two o'clock until past six o'clock there was one continued line of carriages, extending i to the bottom of the Palace avenue. In the early part of the day her Majesty gave audiences to the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdowne,l Lord Teignmouth, Sir J. C. Hobhouse, &c. About four o'clock his Majesty the King of Hanover arrived in an open barouche for the purpose of taking leave of her Majest3 previous to his embarking for his dominions. A few minutes before six o'clock this evening her: Ma. jesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, the Princess of Leinengen, and Baroness Lehzen, left the Palace in a ba rouche with four horses and outriders, for an airing, in the Regent's Park. Her Majesty, we rejoice to say, looked much better than yesterday. The Duke of Sussex, accompanied by Mademoiselle ',l) Este, also took an airing in his private carriage. CITY ADDRESS OF CONGRATULATION.—Yesterday, at noon, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and others of the municipal authorities, proceeded from Guildhall to Kensington Palace, in order to learn from her Majesty on what day it would be convenient for her to receive the Deputation with the Civic Address of Congratulation on her accession to the Throne of the United Kingdom. Previous to the appearance of our young Queen at the , window of St. James's Palace yesterday morning, she' anxiously inquired of the great offiCers of State as to the etiquette observed in the proclamation. Her Majesty said that she wished to follow the example of King William [V. on the same occasion. Orders have been received at Buckingham Palace to pre pare the apartments for the inspection of the Queen, who will make her first visit there early in the ensuing week. It is expected that a drawing-room will be held about five weeks after the burial of the King. t Pe:ice, cause thi s our R o y a l Proclamation to be isputdielYl given.; !•!! read in open C our t i mme di a t e ly before the charge The King of Hanover dined with the Duchess of Glou-,„,,!
