FOR THE SUN. THE EARL OF DUNDONALD. MR. EDITOR—TIiiS Nob!ennui has long been di.tinguished for scientific genius, and has libe rally expended great property in the promotion of discoveries which have been eminentry useful to mankind, however heavily, in the prosecution of them, they nary have been injurious to' himself. At length it is too well known, that by these dis coveries which have been so beneficial to society, and from which the country wit always derive advantage, the venerable Nobleman has absolutely exhausted all his resources, and is now almost destitute of the meaus of• supporting himself and an amiable wife. It has hitherto been understood that when Noblemen have, by misfortune or the improvidence of their predecessors, beets reduced to a situation similar to the case of the unfortu nate Nobleman in question, the liberality of Go vernment has been extended to them, and they have been allowed the means of decent support, if not sufficient to maintain their rank ; and it is confidently said, that the Earl has applied for such support, but that his application has been rejected. It would be libelling Government to gise the least credit to the report of such rejection. It must rather be supposed that the natural pride of reek, and the delicacy of genius, conscious that reward ought to be offered rather than to be acquired by humiliating solicitation, have prevented The No bleman from making any such application. But his situation ought to be made known, and as your Paper seems instly to have acquired the character of an independent spirit, notwithstanding its ob vious attachment to Government, I beg leave, through the medium of your truly patriotic co• limns, to submit the case to the country at large. Butt admitting the truth of so very improbable a report as that such an application had really been made, and that it had been rejected, it would then be a matter of regret that the application had not heen presented in the first instance to the PRINCE REGRNT himself, as it cannot be doubted that the well-known benignity of the Royal Character woul&hate given a gracious assent to it, and that a due provision would have been extended to an aged, unfortunate, and ingenious Nobleman, a great part of whose life, as well as fortune, has been devoted to pursuits of great public benefit, Whose,rank•gives him a claim to the protection of Government, and whose useful discoveries entitle him to the gratitude of his country. klarles-btreet, June 8. DENVOLIO. COMMON COUNCIL. A Court nt Common Council was yesterday lieu at Gikildhall, which wns most unmerously attended. The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court a Let ter he bad received from Charles Montague, Esq. resigning his office of Clerk to the Auditors ; which was accepted, and Mr. Scott unanimously sleeted in his room. A Bill for a further Supply of Money for the London Workhouse was read a first and second time, and referred to the City Lands' Committee to fill up the blanks therein, and report the same to the next Court. The Btidgehouse Committee presented a Re port tor the RemoYal of St. George's Alms-houses, i n the Borough, to another part of St. Geotges fields ; which was agreed to. THE NEW TAXES. The Court then Otter some debate, on the motion of Mr. HUMSTEAD, who was followed by several other Numbers pro and eo►n agreed to petition P;trlisment against the imposition of any new 'faxes, when a Petition was agreed to by a considerable majority, and ordered to be pre sented accordingly. SWORD-BEARER. The Court afterwards proceeded to the election of a Sword-bearer, the numbers being as fullow : Mr. So)it II Mr. Reeve ' 64 Mr. Piper I Mr. White 4O Mr. Andrews 1 Whereupon the LORI SMITH co be dilly elected M AY OR declared Mr. FASEIONABLE ELOPEM eNT.—An event bus re cently occurred which has excited great bustle in the neighbourhood of ConnanOit-place, owing to the sudden retreat of Mrs. P. C. who, it is under stood, went on Tuesday last tc, Paris, under the protecting shield of Sir R—T an officer, who by zeal and gallantry of another kind, distinguished himself in Spain, and whose literary and mental powers are not less known.—The Lady, it seems, is young, beautiful, and accomplished, and the excise she offers for her conduct on this occasion is, the long separation from her husband., and his alleged connection with another person. If thii statement be correct, the vengeance of the Law will probably not fall heavily uo the ujec• tionate fugitives. • It is said in the theatrical circles, that Mr. KEAN is positively resolved to leave this country for America, it the terms which he has uttered for the future Alimagetnent of Drury-lane Theatre are not accepted. The Princess of WALse, it is said, will pass this summer at Rome, she having sold her seat on the Lake of Con►u to the Duke of ToRLONIA. Yesterday morning hi.: Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, v,ith part of the Board of Admiralty, and the Efersiin Ambassador, embark ed at the Tower, for Deptford, to view the Dock-yard atid the ships braiding in the RQyal Arsenal. b R F,TitY-LANt Tin A T Rt.

XX. These proposals are, however, submitted with au eat nest desire, on tie port of the Select Commiiter, to canvass any objections that It r Les-see way point out, and to admit diem, if it shall appear right so to do.. SUN. INVI4ITANT DEBTOIVS ACT, AND ITS ADMINISTRA TION. Iroprrott—l - lavine attentively.perused the Report qf the Committee in the Iloose of Commons on this subject, and having duly weighed and con sidered the .evidence in support thereof, I have been somewhat sorprised that, in dkft.itice of such Report, an attempt should be made by petition to continue one of the greatest abuses has ex. •isted under this law. 1 allude to the practice of person,s, as AGENTS of the Court, who have never o btained a legal qualification Inc such practice, and to erhotTl sqch 1 1 .Agrant initances of m;scopduct have been proved tietorc the CA:menittee. It is trite the persons who are peC:ioncrs hate been for some !line al!owed to on the le.. gitimaie rights of ushers, and the 1 - ,tichiet whien they have created in the Chararter of Agews have been highly injurious to the Voltlir. Tbes , .. are a sufficient answer to their pc - tit:;rm, and af ford a direct argument against grantiu4 the pra:er of it, They have unquestionably fonad it a prfoluet: , c pursuit, aided as it was by extortioo d thlftitMtind f 'mount rfor ',Web little or nothing was dune in malty casss, and in with. bolding the discharges of the . Debtors till those monies were paid. If the discontinuance of these Agents should induce their return to the former pursuits in which they were ettgaged, they will, at least, have the consolation of know u 4 that they no longer deprive others of those just earn ings to which professional labour and alteetiott entitle them. And should any of the late Agents be found qualified by ability and integrity, they may hope to obtain employment under those w hunt they have heretofore injured. Any attempt' to prove that Agents out of the Profession would be of any public utility or gene• ral advantage, must be whofly abortive, and trult they will not be rashly inclined to press toy application for the continuance of practices which have been so strongly, so justly, and so decidedly reprobated by the Committee. It they should„ they may expect to create additional censure for their presumption, and will probably bring upon themselves tine decided aversion of the whole legal profession, An:l ever after close the door of hope against their ng obtaioi employment under those w . whom they so essentially injured already. Whatever in:l)74m attelopted by these applicants to Parliament, by way of Petition, I feel well assured, from a full consideration of the various. Statutes for regulating legal Practice, and the rules. of Court in reference to such practice, it must be impossible they can retain the ascendancy which they had heretofore unjustly assumed. For the right of persons to practise in any of his Ma- Jes,y a Courts of Record, without previous quali fication and regular admission, under liability to Revenue Duties, is what an equitable Legislature must indiA,nantly refuse to ordain if ever such art EnHOMeilt is solicited.
