In „ 811, the House had, on his motion, appointed a ounnittee to inquire into the extent of business In that Court ; and soon after a measure was adopted, with the view of giving some Os s.istanee to f ac ili tate the administration of justice 24 the Court of Chancery. His wish now was tio a scertain wh et h er this assistance h a d been el -71"al.

M. COTTU, the Gentleman who came last year to England for the purpose of obtaining informa tion respecting , our Criminal Code and the Insti tution of JURIES, has again visited this Country. This Gentleman Lad a long interview with Baron de CAZESj the Secretary of the French Embassy, at the Paris Hotel, Dover, on his arrival, and it. is sai d that he conies to England on a Special Mission from the Minister Count de CAZES. We mentioned a few days since, in extracts from American Papers, a Report from the Secre tary of State to Congress, unfavourable to 'the application of certain individuals to be admitted as Consuls on behalf of some of the Governments set up by the Independents in South America.— The Report is now published at length. We have not room for the. document this day, hut propose to give it the first opportnni to. It manifests a temarlcable degree of caution with respect to any recognition of the cha racter cl3imed by the persons alluded to, and shews, from the writers on public law, that they cannot be received as Consuls without recogniz ing the independence of the Governments ap pointing them, which, in the present state of the rela,,tlrms of the United States with Spain, cannot be done. The British Press of this day very naturally re fers to what we •said yesterday on its joculaiiiy, in pronouncing the knowledge of Messrs. GREN FELL and TIERNEY superior to that of Lord L1v13111,001. v13111 , 001. and llr. VANSITTART, but has thought proper now to be '.grave on the subject, con ceiving,• no doubt, that it would be carry ing the joke too far, and would • be too sarcastic a banter on its friends to repeat this ironical preference. But that Paper is wisely silent on our inquiry how, if the estimate .of the former Gentleman respecting the amount ref the bal lances of the Exchequer in the Bank should prove erroneous, it will justify itself in its' implied charge against Government of premeditated de lusion ?"—And how will The British Press recon cile the opinion of the Marquess of LANS DOWNE, whose estimate of the balances was seven millions, with .that of Messrs. GRENFELL and TIER N EY, which was only three! Lord SIDMOUTH is not yet able to resume his official functions, but is much better.

HOP INTELLIGENCE, SOUTHWARK, MARCH 29.—We are sorry to say our IVJaiket is so exceedingly dull that we are unable to give you any correct particulars about it. MrsJo i stice BAYLEY, at the Susse x A ss i zes on Thursday last OS mentioned in the account of the trial of James Gibbs, in our Paper of Sault . :lay), pronounced the awful sentence' of death, in a manner so impressive and pathetic, as to leave no dry eye in :he Court, holding out to the prisoner no hopes of mercy.—The prisoner, during . the whole of the trial, was sensibly agitated by re morse and apparently unaffected sensibility.— After he was removed from the bar, the, prosecu tor and his father appeared in the witness box, and earnestly implored the Learned Judge to spare his life, and mitigate the sentence of the law to transportation; but Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that his duty was imperative, and if he dared to relax the severity of the raw, lie should want no sug gestion of mercy on the part of the prosecutor to prompt hint to an act to which he was naturally impelled by his own feelings of commiseration for the unhappy convict. But lie dared not, for the. sake of the public, suspend that punishment. If mercy could be extended to the prisoner, it could only be attained by au application to - the Secre tary of State. SINGULAR WAGER.--011 Saturday se'rmight a number of villruse politicians assembled at the Horse Shoes, in Oulton, near NVakefield, and were en joyin?' . their social glass, until time pointed his en viousfinger at " eleven !" when the hottest hostess reminded them that it was time to adjourn for the night : they accordingly rose to depart ; when one of them, named Holeroft, a resident of Pon tefract, began to complain of the length of his journey (nine miles), upon which a stripling, called Jos. Swales, who was present, offered a bet of half-a-guinea, that he would carry hint safely on his shoulders within 'six hours. This task was deemed impracticable, Swales being an exact prototype of Shakspeare's half-starved apothecary, while Holeroft, on the other band, may be mote aptly termed a lineal de scendant from John Falstaff. The wager lacing made good, Gulliver monnted on the shoulders of the Lilliputian, who started front Chilton a few minutes after eleven, and pitched his lo a d opposite the Sessions House in Pontefract, pre cisely• at half-past four, more than half an hour before the time alkwed. A number of persons accompanied them from °allot), to witness the novelty of the undertaking, as well as to render assistance to Swages, in case of his breaking down. NExT SATURDAY.---4.

CATHOLIC QUESTION. MR. Eneroa—Good as any opinion is of the L'apiSts in general, and ready ask am to believe tliem men of truth i n their private affairs, I should ,doubt it if they said, " what we petition for from you, we would instantly grant, were we in your situation and you in ours." To solve this doubt, let the Protestants put to them the following question : (‘ Gentlemen—We live usider a Protestant Go vernment in Church and State, which - is our pride and our glory ! Would ye, if it were PopiSh, grant to us as Protestants what you so urgently claim as Papists ?- .you not deny it ITS, and have none to share in political power but Papists IVould ye not do more, and deny us toleration in our religion, even as Our dissenters of old did, who, •when in power, denied to their brethren what when out of it they loudly called for, saying it would encourage the grOwth of schism ?" Should ye answer in the affirmative, and speak truth, it would, put ye in a dilemma, and .maka you appear insincere in your own faith, and alto gether indifferent to any religion whatever. So preposterous and anomalous is your claim, that to exlmine it in its minute- parts, strips of its water gilding, is to tumble it into pieces, and annihilate the whole. ThRILE FOR THE SUN. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. MR. EDlTOR—Having noticed the Remarks of your Cotrespondent Ar k O.I3 \ SERVER," who most incautiously gives the Appellative Swindling as an Accompaniment to Debt, I take leave to reply to such parts only cif his Letter as ha‘ve not been fully and most ally answered before. If any Debtors have been discharged by the Commissioner of the In'olvent (;curt, after im putations of fraud which were nut established, and future evidence can be obtained to prOve such fraud, the Court has a power of re-caption over the Debtor, and may again commit him for fuller investigation, and upon proof of fraud may irin prison him for five y6rs. The Writer says, " The Act gives Legislative sanction and encouragement to unprincipled " persons to:contract debts, by letting them know " the extent of the consequence." If the fact was so, it cannot be said that the same Act re quires, or invites, Tradesmen or others to part with their property on credit. But, in truth, the operation of the Act' is totally different:---for the consequences of Debt and ImprisOnment ,being established by Law, those who_ were inclined heretofore to obtain credit with--fraudulent views, are now deterred by the penalties of tl:e . Act, which provide against such fraud ; and Creditors arc more cautious, because ;heir power is di- zuiuished. Luxury, Extravagance, Profligacy, Fraud, and Crime, have no protection nuuler this Act ; but on the contrary, it the Act is mainly deficient in any thing, it is in those Provisions which direct penal intiictkons, without having directed that such Penalties shall follow lawful Convictions, as is uniformly required under Prosecutions for Crime. A SPECTATOR. THE ITALIANS, or The Fatal :Accusation.—We are requested to state, that a FIFTH EDITION Of Oils TRAGEDY, with au APPENDIX to the for mer PREFACE, was PUBLISHED YESTERDAY MORN ING. MELANCROLY ACCIDENT.—On the night of the 9th instant, Mr. Hilliard,Revenue Officer, of Monaghan, accompanied by a seijeant and 12 men of the 29th Regiment of Foot, and a constable, Proceeded to make a seizure of a still, near Roban, parish of Derryrnore, in the county of Armagh. •Having -effected th?s object, beleft the serjeaut and five of the men to take care of the still, until Ire went to another bill with the constable and the other men to make another seizure ; and charged the soldiers on no account whatever to fire. unless in defence of their lives, and should either party be in danger, they were to fire a shot as a sign,i. Mr. Hilliard had not long gone when Mr. Geoftge Reed, revenue officer, of Arrn,gh, aceotnpanikl by a party of 30 men of the sante regiment,havim got an information also, approached the still- house, when the Monagbau party called out, who are you ?' Mr. Reed thinking they were only the people who Were distilling, advanced, -when the signal shot *was fired. ifetortunately the Armagh party thought they were fired upon, and immt diately discharged their arms into the lions?. We understand Mr. Hilliard made all possible speed to prevent. mischief. On the approach :if his party to the still-house, the Armagh division had pre sented to fire upon them, boa Mr. Hilliard railed out '1 ant Hilliard the gauger,' and Mr. Reed im mediately knew him. When they entered the still-house, two unfortunate young tnen, of the Monaghan pally, lay on the ground—the on. dead ; the back past of his head hating been blown away. The other is severely wounded in tne head also, the bullet having lodged in his forehead, about one inch above his nose. recovery is not expected.
