" A STCDENT." SINGULAR CHARACTER. Last night, in his EIGHTIETH year, and at his house in Be'gra ve-place; Pimlico, died Mr.TiIoNIAS CLARK, one of the most singular and well-known Characters which this Great City exhibited. Ile vraS the Proprietor of Exeter 'Change ; and occu pied with rite sale of cutlery, turnery, Ste. about - otte half of that extensive range of Mere his dealings were marked whiethe utmost integrity, and here he realized a fortune said to le immense. What he sold was good ; the price *sited was invatiably the price taken and this excellent rule, added to the moderation of his profits, secured hint that rapid retail custom which .6 lied his coffers with the fruit of fair industry.— lart what perhaps increased his wealth still more, Rol the moderate, we only say penurious nature of his habits. Every day he dined with his plate' r oo the bare hoard, in his little closet, and pro bably the expence of his men!, with his pint of Porter included, never reached the sum of one shillin‘. After dinner he was accustomed to take one glass of spirits, in water, at the public `house opposite tete end of the Chaege, and thetfelii returning, to resume the business of the da.yo-7,. 14orning awl evening saw hint on his old hot*, with his rider, ds.well known at Charing-cross as Kir* ChIARLES himself. Latterly, however, lte Ins:come to town, :and returned in his son ' s • 6mi:iv ; anti it is barely a week since we were at 'thiseulil; but respectable' individual, iroapthe windows of Tee Su N. Otliee. - We have heard trimly stinks. of Mr. CcAttet : some of. them founded Con his peenli.irities, but riot one to his discredit. Though addicted to the aecnimillition of Money, -it was by honest means ; and What appeared to tattlers bard self-privation;' Wits probably to him, who relished no higher plea -I:ures, meenjoyment, as it was a second lettere. Nor Was lie incapable of performing, at times, actions of the' most liberal andhouourable kind. — Antnng the anecdotes told of him it is reported, Ow when the tincothe Tax wits 'imposed he gave ih his schedule et '6OOOl. The Tax Collector re turned it to him for amendment, under the sup position that he had returned (and over-rated ton) his whole stuck, instead, of his Ronda' in come. Mr. CLARK hitched on another thousand', i in d . ."-'cared the CollectUr that he was sure it was the full alumna. " Ave, but (said the other) I event, your Income; not your Property."—" Are /ee content ?"---Yes !"—" S atli I, " replied the old Merchant, and wished the astonished Collector brio - Conti morning . 11 Wa s S only be that Mr. was taken „12erinusty In his will, we h ear , h e h as remem bered all his friends and' faithful servants in a handsome manner. Ev ter 'Change is to-day partially shut,' and tab front its wonted light and bustle, a strange ,Pneeraiice. A likeness of Mr. CLARK on horseback is fe tti our print-sl!ops, and conveys a perfect idea , 'of 'Original Character.

Ile also begged to state, for the information of the agents in'the Court, that a misconception 111,4 prevailed relative to two rules which he had made six months. ago. One of these was for the prO teetion of the creditor, and its intent was that no money should be wild into Conn .wit4out tt pre vious expiess application for that purpose. The second was, that no money should be tir3Wll out of Court, without a similar application. When ever R petition and schedule were given in, which state any sum of money in hands, be it large or small, let it in future be understood, that such sum Must be paid into the hands of the Receiver in the outset of the proceedings. The Court sat from nine o'clock until after four, and went through a considerable portion of the business set down in the day's list. SEPTEMBRII 6. A considerable number of prisoners were dis charged, no opposition being offered. J.

There was also a debt of 501. due ty the insolvent to a Mr. Kings - ion, on a promissory note since 1801. He could give no satisfactory reason to the boat for not having paid this note, and the Learned Ser jennt, after summing up the evidence, ordered him to be finally remanded, as a person guilty of gross injustice.
