LONDON, 1831. We have a great affection for children's books, dwayS excepting those nightmares of the youth ill mind, the Greek, Latin, and English Gram nars. They bring us back to our own days of childhood—to the solitary walk by the river side —to the seat among the old ruins of the Abbey— to the stolen hour at night, when, long after our companions, fatigued with the day's cricketting and prisoner's-base, and trap-ball, had retired to their respective dormitories, we perused by the dim candle-light, whose wick, as a matter of course, was snuffed by our own fingers —a peril ous achievement, and requiring much presence of mind—the wondrous adventures of the grim old American Buccaniers—of Scanderbeg, at once the pride and the plague of more than one Amurath—of Captain Cooke and Owhyhee—of Robinson Crusoe, and the print of the strange foot in the desert island, that most fortunate and dramatic of incidents, which Scott and Shakspeare have equalled but not surpassed—of Anson and his voyages round the world—and above all, of Aladdin and his Enchanted Lamp—of Sinbad and the Court of Serendib—of the inimitable oriental Barber and his Seven Brothers—of Gul- Ever and his Flying Island, read then as a work of amusement, now of sound moral and politi cal instruction—of Christendom and its Seven stalwart Champions—of Mrs. Bunch and her endless Fairy Tales, invariably commencing with "once upon a time" and terminating with the cha ritable and by no means necessary conclusion, " and so the young Prince and Princess married, and lived very happily afterwards." Those days are gone. Other and more worldly pursuits en gross the attention of manhood. Romance has given place to Reform ; the fairy tales to the tithe question ; Scanderberg to O'Connell ; Lord Anson to Lord Londonderry ; the gossiping barber and his brothers to the Ultra Tories and their associates ; Don Quixotte to Sir C. We therell ; and the veracious Lemuel Gulliver to the Hon. Member for Preston ! Is this a change for the better, or the wiser ? We fear not. At any rate it is inevitable. The golden bowl of romance has been broken at the fountain ; the wheel broken at the cistern ; and to unite the shattered fragments is no longer possible. Still memory may do much ; and it is by her means that we are here enabled to express our un feigned, hearty love of children's books, in all their forms and varieties. Of late years a great change, it must be con fessed, has taken place in these books. Reason has superseded romance ; instruction has taken the place of entertainment. Boys from the earliest period at which they are capable of forming an opinion, are now lured to the level, broad highway of science, instead of (as of yore) to the tangled wilds of fiction ; imaginary, they exchange for real voyages ; legends of fairies and magicians for treatises on natural history, &c. By this whole sale change the reason is of course the gainer; in fact the rising generation ought (from the pains taken with them) to turn out a generation of philo sophers and metaphysicians, and to despise poetry and romance as things of no marketable value, and wholly beneath the consideration of preco cious Utilitarians. Whether they will do so or not, cannot of course yet be known ; but we con• ceive we hazard no very reckless prediction, when we assert that thirty years hence, a true poet will be as great a phenomenon in England, as a professor of poetry is now a bore cf the first water. The Editor of the volumes before us has wisely consulted the taste and temper of the times : he has produced a child's book which is at once amusing and instructive ; which strengthens the judgment while it satisfies the imagination. The first number is confined to a collection of the most approved Voyages ; the second and third, to Travels of similar excellence; the fourth to Ancient Biography, embracing well digested :Memoirs of some of the most celebrated Legis lators and Warriors of antiquity. All these various subjects are treated i❑ a familiar, popular man ner, so as to engross the willing attention of youth. Trite, lengthy reflections are scrupu lously avoided, as matters fitter for the considera tion of riper years ; hence the book is just what it should be—strictly and emphatically speaking, a book for youth and youth only. We must not omit to state that it is of a convenient size and price, and remarkably well embellished. shut In r)idttiao Stock 3 dis. South Sea Stock shut Old Annuities — New Ditto shut 3 per Cent.

In the House of Lords, last night, nothing of any immediate importance transpired. On the Earl of SALISBURY inquiring whether Govern ment intended to bring forward, during the Session, any Bill on the subject of the Poor Laws, the LORD CHANCELLOR replied, that if no other Noble Lord did, he would him self propose some measure respecting those laws. In answer to a question from the Earl of WINCHILSEA, with regard to the Politi cal Unions, Earl GREY said that he thought Government was already sufficiently armed with power to put down all illegal associations. The French Papers of Wednesday, with the Evening Papers of yesterday's date, have been received. According to the latest accounts from Lyons every thing seemed to be going on favourably. The workmen had nearly surren dered all the arms in their possession dur ing the revolt ; and such was the determina tion with which the Executive were proceeding, that Marshal SOULT had dissolved the National Guard of the city of Lyons, ordering them to deposit their stores and arms in the. Government depot. This decision must have been the re sult of the inefficient manner in which the National Guard conducted itself during the insurrection. The Marshal felt himself, no doubt, called on to act with firmness, but he should well weigh the consequences of perhaps ill-timed temerity. Public feeling in the South of France is not to be treated slightly even by Marshal SOULT and the Duke of ORLEANS to boot. Lours PHILIP is not yet so firmly seated in the hearts of the people that he can afford to play the Grand Monarque. (From the tifoniteur of Tuesday, Dec. 6.) Pants, DEC. 5. —The despatches which the Govern ment has received to-day by estafette left Lyons at the same time as the telegraphic despatch which arrived yes terday, and of which they are to supply the place in case of bad weather. On his entrance into the city, the Prince was received by the municipal authorities at the gate of Vaise. M. Pilinglle, Mayor of Lyons, had addressed his Royal High ness in a speech, to which the Prince replied in an answer full of dignity, which was received with unanimous ap probation by those who bad been able to hear it. Every where on his passage in the surburb of Vaise, and on the quays of the Rhone, his Royal Highness not only met with countenances animated with joy at his presence, but frank and sincere acclamations everywhere accompanied hilts. Happy expressions, showing the gratitude of some, the repPotaDee of others, the confidence of all, where heard on all sides. At the moment when the despatches came away, the Prince had just gone to the Place de Bellecour to review the troops. Their appearance wan admirable, their spirit eracellent. The attitude of the citizens corresponded wor thily with that of the army. Every thing announced the return of good understanding, under auspices which were the more satisfactory, as the delivery up of the arms, which had been completely effected, proved the most en tire submission to the authority of the laws and the orders of the Government. The ordinances, the proclamations, and the decrees, were read by the crowd and elicited no objection. At the head of the troops marched the part of the National Guard of Lyons, which, after having so valiantly seconded them, had followed them out ,of Nis city. This detachment brought b ,ck its colours which it had constantly retained, snit which it had just deposited at the Town-hall with its arms, in ikedience to the ordinance for its dissolution. Other battalion/ pf the National Guard of the Saone and Loire, of the Drone ak,ul the Isere, showed by their pre sence the ready concurre,oq pf the population of those de partments in the re-establishruent ,of public order, without which there is neither industry, nor liberty, nor country. We expect more ample details, especially apeeches of the tauthorities, and the answers of the Prince, the 41ec t t of which was naos t t satisfactory.

This reflection gave me hopes that these sentiments were not effaced, and decided me, on the first news of the troubles, to come to you, and cause the effusion of the blood of Frenchmen, which I continually deplore, to cease. These are the sentiments which animate me, and I do not come to seek out the guilty, this is the duty of the law, but I come as a pacificator, and to recall Frenchmen who have been misled to return to their duty, and tell them it is their true interest. To day I have fulfilled this task, and I shall commence with another more agreeable, to administer all the possible sou lagemens to the working people of Lyons, which my fa ther, the King, has ordered me." They write from Lyons on the 3d inst. at nine o'clock at night :—" At the moment I write, fires are lighted in all our places, and our houses encumbered with soldiers, cavalry, National Guards, and artillery, which obstruct the passage of the city." It was reported at Paris that Don Pedro was to leave that capital in a few days.

Other apconnts from Niesa affirm that the Vac" of Scutari gave himself up by a capitulation, which, how ever, the Grand Vizier bad not respected, but had caused the Pacha to be arrested as soon as the citadel was de liyered up. Others assert that Mustapha Pacha, judging a longer resietance to be fruitless, and finding his terms rejected by the Grand Vigief y he e d submitted to the Porte at discretion, and had himself desired to be sent to Cop atantinople to learn the decision of his fate from the Sultan's own month. We shall probably be able to give the parti culars by the next post, POLISH FRONTIERS, Nov. Iy.—People were riot pre pared to see the amnesty so soon published, as it was known that before the Emperor left Petersburgh a decree that had been drawn up was thrown aside, and all man ner of intrigues were employed, jf not entirely to prevent such a measure, yet to delay its publication as tpuch'as poi sible. For the old Russian party is extremely desirous to extinguish the propensity to aevolution, by vigorous mea sures, and to make an example of the Poles, who have ex cited great sympathy in Europe by their bravery, and at the commencement ;, , ,f the revolution, by prudent conduct. The Emperor appears not inclined tq concur in this, or to leave room for arbitrary persecutions by Imager deferring a positive declaration, end pardon of the leas culpable. Hp rather believes himself called upon to heal the wonude which a series of most disastrous events has inflicted on a nation persecuted by fate, and not to cherish hatred, but to concilige the hearts of those who taught by ill success, and by the pxheusted state of their country, repent of their attempt, and wish hence forth to live in peace, under the protection of just laws. In fact the Emperor seems to be the only advocate of the Poles, subdued by the force of arms against the predo minant hatred of the Russians, by taking the part of the less guilty, assuring them of oblivion of the past, and abandoning to their fate and to just punishment only the authors and leaders of the insurrection, as well as those who have rejected the clemency so often offered, even after the fall of Warsaw. The state of affairs among us, how ever, is very melancholy ; thousands of children deprived of their parents, thousands of hands without work, and no hope of seeing trade and prosperity soon restored. We have besides the prospect of famine, for the magasines of provisions are exhausted or wasted, and the fields un sown. This alone is a sufficient warning against revo lutions, and there is no neel of imagining new sufferings to increase the distress to the highest degree. The Russian Colonels, especially of the artillery, pure chased many horse., and the horses belonging to the late Polish army are employed to remount the Russian cavalry. This affords no favourable expectation of the speedy re organization of the national army, with which many flat tered themselves. Should it ever come to pass, it is not easy to see, considering the total want of Polish officers, by whom the national troops can be trained, and com manded. Probably by the Russians, but would this be like a national army. Great efforts are made to bring the finances in order, and, notwithstanding the bad state of the country, they seem to be pretty successful, A sequel to the clever little pamphlet, " What will the Lords do ?" has just been published, under the title of " What have the Lords done, and what will they do next ?" The reasoning in this pamphlet is as temperate as it is unan swerable, and puts the present and past positions of the Lords in their proper light : " Such was the state of public feeling previous to the discussion of the Lords on the Bill. The King was popu lar beyond all former example—the Prelates of the Esta blished Church were venerated for their piety—the Nobi- . . . lity of the land were held in respect. All promised well for the future peace and prosperity of the kingdom. The Reform question once at rest, industry and quiet would have resumed their sway among the people; the aristo cracy would have reaped a rich harvest of gratitude from their concession to popular feeling; the Church, though evidently destined to undergo some modification of its tem poralities, would have exalted itself as a religious body in the esteem and confidence of the nation. These were the expectations of sober-minded men, well-wishers to their country, some weeks ago. " What have the Lords done ? " They have for the present blighted, and for the future endangered, all these fair prospects of national happiness and tranquillity. They have thrown the country into un exampled disorder and confusion. They have rendered many of themselves objects of general contempt and aver sion, to which their whole body may hereafter be exposed, unless their Lordships should timely avert such a misfor tune. One source of satisfaction, indeed, remains for us, and it is invaluable—they happily bad not the power to deprive the nation of their unbounded attachment to the King, nor of his magnanimous adherence to their cause. But tote evils they have entailed on the country are de plorable. An excited state of society is utterly destructive to the peaceful pursuits of the people ; the longer it is procrastinated the difficulty of returning to their usual habits becomes greater, and the danger of insurrectionary movements increased. Trade stagnates—industry is pa ralyzed—confidence is overthrown. The ferment spreads wider and wider, and, instead of wasting itself, gains st •ength, by the diffusion. No man can foresee how or where it is to explode into open violence. No man can predict who or how many may fall victims to its effects. Such is the precarious condition of things at present, arising from the unfortunate decision of the Lords. All is one scene of anxiety, suspense, and trepidation. Nothing seems fixed, but the calm, resolute, unconquerable deter mination of the multitude to obtain their rights." This is precisely the true state of the case. The Lords, by their refractory and insulting behaviour, have not only perilled the tranquillity of the country, but even placed their own exist ence as a separate body of the State in jeopardy, The Lords Spiritual have done, if possible, worse; tkey have not merely perilled, but actu ally sealed, their own 4c:4rpction as Members of the Upper House ; nor does it require any very extraordinary sagacity to foresee that ere two years have elapsed, the Episcopal Bench will be a Bench unknown, save by tradition, in the House of Lords. All this Might Inge I)eeti saved by the exercise of but ordinary prudence on the pait of the temporal and spiritual Peers. Both had it in their power to preserve the affections of the people ; .but the ,9ppwtp;i: f ty was neglected ; the warpipg voice rolled unheeded abwie o;eir heads, an d b e h9lpi,c4e,ir condition .! Still, though they have lost pupla of ti . e . iF former influence .; though the spell that kept theirs in Xheiir ‘! Jgg,l) ,' and pOmy state" is broken ; though the very term l, .‘ aristoeracy" pas lost its virtue, the Peers 1 1 I have i in tkeir power to cio icai i ;,.,h, very much' towards winning baek the, at pr i es,ent estrani,e,:l, affections of the country. Let them recant their former declarations; let them pass thg 4PfoYrn.. It would appear that the spirit of Tory ma lignity is not yet quenched in Lincolnshire, nor do we suppose it ever will be, till the passing of the Reform measure shall convince the defeated boroughmongers of the utter inutility of further animosity. In the meantime it will be seen, by re ference to another column of The Sun, that a correspondence has taken place between Lord BROWN LOW and Mr. TENNYSON, of a nature by no means creditable to his Lordship's cha racter for frankness or civility. The false cry of "reaction" which it has been the fashion of the Ultras to raise throughout the country, seems to have afforded a faint chance of attempting a kindred bugbear at Stamford, while the Lincoln Militia was op duty there ; but the thing would not do. Disappointed in their aim the Ultras thought it V 110,1114 be a good joke to fasten the impptatiop of endeavouring to get up a riot, on the Reformers—and the fai lure of their attempt occasioned in the correspon dence alluded tg. The letter of Lord BpowNLow to Mr. TENNYSON is dictatorial and offensive in the e*treme—it is even more—it is ungrateful at the hands of the Noble Lord, who cannot have forgotten the manly and generous manner in which, only a few days before, Mr. TENNYSON interposed to protect the Tory Lords and Bishops from the indignation of the county of Lincoln, of which Earl BROWNLO W is Lord-Lieutenant. Our readers may recollect the proceedings at the county meeting, which comprised the strongest resolutions directed against the Peers and Bishops who voted to reject the 13. efmn Bill. Qn that occasion Mr. TENNYSON was the very individual who more prominently than wisely stood forward, at the risk of his own popularity, to stem the tide and soften the bitter feeling towards these recusants. And now, be hold his reward !—So much for Tory gratitude. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

" I am quite convinced that none of my friends either have done or will do anything to excite disturbance or dissatisfaction in the regiment. Any conduct which could have that ten dency would be so inconsistent with the admirable and loyal feeling for which the Blues have been pre-eminent, that it is quite clear his Lordship's ear has been Abused by some of our mischievous opponents. I thnik kt due to you, however, to ap prize ypli of this imputation. ". I am, my dear Sir, very sincerely your's, " CHARLES TENNYSON, Mr. John Drakard, Stamford." " Stamford, Nov. 28, 189.1 "Mr DEAR SlR,—Lord Brownlow is under ki very great mistake, if he supposes that I haxe even spoken to, any one of the niilitiameii during their being at Stamford, Indeed, I believe that I am pot personally known. to any of those residing out of Stamford ; for had I been known, I have no doubt but that they would have given some token of such knowledge ; on the contrary, I have passed them apparently as a total stranger, as they are all of them to me,—and all of this lam ready to prove on affidavit. I believe, from \vhat I have heard, that very few of the militia atiencled the Free and Easy;' I rather think nci: above half,a;doaen, if so many. " ns his Lordship has thought proper to make A chAtge agaipst me without any foundation, I will take the liberty of saying, that the calling together iNplen, at a time when the country is so excited as it now is, was any thing but prudent, ante sy,rely it i 3 not fair to affix blame to me and others for ex cting a tumultuous feeling, which, if existing at all, has been caused by the maladministration of a set of bigotted " I am quite of your opinion, that our friends ace the last persons who would catue any disturbance. Our adversaries create a bad feelitig by their obnoxious conduct, and then cry out against those whom such bad conduct has excited to in temperate expressions, hav, , e the honour to be, my dear Sir, " Your's most faithfully, " To Charles Tennyson, Esq., M.P." " J. ORAKARD. The Editor of the Stamford News, in publishing these letters, called upon Mr. Tennyson to produce the corre. spondence between him and Lord Brownlow ;—,and it seems that the Bee—which is the Tory Stamford Paper, commented upon Mr. Tennyson's answer to Lord lirownlow, in terms which proved that his Lordship had communicated it in that quarter. Accordingly, in the Stamford News of this week—the South Lincoln Militia having in the meantime been disbanded and quitted the town—the following letters appear : TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAMFORD NEWS. " Park street, Westminster, 6th December, 1831. ci S►a,--You call upon me for what passed between Lord Brownlow and myself, on the subject referred to in my letter to 311% Drakard, published in your last paper. " I might have had some difficulty in complying with your wishes had I not observed that the Bee newspaper has Com mented upon my reply to his Lordship's communication, That reply having thus transpired, I am reiievecA from any considera tions of delicacy, and accerdingly I inclose you copies of the only letters which have passed between the Lord Lieutenant and myself, " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " CHARLES TENNYSON." THE EARL BROWNLOW TO 31R. TENNYSON. " Stamford, 23d Nov. 1831 " STll,—Having given a ready assent to the request which you made to me at Lincoln, in appointing your son to a Corn. pany in the Royal North Lincoln Militia, I feel myself fairly en titled to address you on a subject connected with the Militia, wherein you ought, not only in courtesy as a gentleman, but more especially as a Member of a Public Board under Govern ment, to meet my wishes by exerting your authority and influ ence over certain meddling and officious partizans of yours in this town, who have evinced by their conduct a desire to excite insubordination in the R. South Lincoln Militia, now assembled here under my command. " Thebehaviour of the men during the first week of their train ing was most exemplary, but an invitation by Mr. Drakard and others induced a certain number of them to attend the Blue Free and Easy club on Monday evening last, and from that source a tumultary disposition has had its origin among them. I must observe that the Red party have, with a very creditable prudence, voluntarily abstained from holding any club meetings during the training period of the militia, and I there. fore think it would be but reasonable, that you should represent to your friends the importance and necessity of adopting a si milar line of conduct. In the discharge of my public duty in this county, I have ever studiously laid aside all political consi derations, and I feel that, in carrying on the public service, I have a fair claim to be supported by his Majesty's Government in all its departments. " I have the honour to be, sir, " Your obedient servant, " C. Tennyson, Esq., &c., &c., &c." " BROWN'LOW." MR. TENNYSON TO EARL BROWNLOW. Bayons Manor, near Market Rasen, " Nov. 1831, " MY Lotto,—Last night I was honoured by your Lordship's letter of the 213 d instant. " I confess I am surprised at the tone of your communication, and still more at the ground upon which you seem to consider yourself entitled so to address me. " Lord Portmore, as Colonel of the Royal North Lincoln Militia, most kindly proposed to my son a company in his re giment. Having accepted this flattering offer, I thought it right to take the opportunity which the Lincoln Ball presented, for mentioning the matter to your Lordship as Lord Lieute nant ; although the appointment to Companies is understood to rest, practically, with the Colonel. Besides, I was not un willing to feel obliged also to your Lordship ; and if this dispo sition gave to my application for your formal assent, the tone of a request, it was the more painful for me to feel—as I did at the moment, and expressed to others—that it was not met by you with the courtesy usual on such occasions, and which I had for.. merly experienced from you in personal intercourse. At any rate, I cannot think that even your Lordship's estimate of the obligation warranted the terms of your letter, which dictate to me what 1 ought to do as a gentleman and a public officer. I should be unfit for either of those stations if I did not consider myself the best judge of my own duties in both. " I now proceed to the subject of your communication. "As you charge some persons—whom you describe as cer. tain meddling and officious partizans of mine'—with a desire to excite insubordination in your regiment, and mention their conduct as the evidence of that desire, my opinion is, that any public officer on the spot whose duty it may be, cannot too soon collect the proofs, and bring to justice the parties guilty of conduct so highly criminal and dangerous. In the meantime, lam bound to believe that your Lordship is misinformed, especially as the conduct imputed would be entirely at variance with that genuine and devoted loyalty which I have constantly seen exhibited by my friends at Stamford. " With regard to the offence more specifically stated, namely, that Mr. Drakard and others induced a certain num. ber of your men to attend the Blue Free and Easy on Monday last,—all I can say is, that if such attendance be contrary to the regulations affecting your regiment, it is in your Lordship's power to prevent it;—it permitted by those regulations, I am glad to find they were in such good company, although sin. doubtedly, if the red party thought their convivialities would corrupt your regiment, they acted very meritoriously in ab staining from any club meetings during its presence at Stamford. " Your Lordship calls for my interference. Now although I consider it due to Mr. Drakard—the only individual named— to apprise him of your complaint, yet I think any thing like in. terference on my part, would be as impertinent as I believe it to be needless. If any intervention were really necessary to pre, vent the criminal conduct you impute, such as mine would be insufficient, while you have at your command all the civil and military authority capable of being directed against everything but imaginary evils—for independently of the powers with which you are personally invested, the Corporation of Stamford will not be backward in aflbrding to yonr Lordship their aid in any case where, by possibility, a Blue may be implicated. " I have the honour to be, say Lord, " Your Lordship's obedient servant, " CHARLES TENNYSON. ,4 T h e Earl Prownlow, &c. &c. &C."

The COURT was occupied the who'e morning with thit, part-heard case, which came before the Court upon exceri ?ions to the Master's report. The principal question ii i the came wda, whether certain land in Staffordshire watt purchased subject to a modus or not. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY, CHAMBERS'S BANKRUPTCY.—THE KING v. PHILIP SELBY' This was an indictment against the defendant, who wise a Sheriff's officer, charging hint with committing wilful and corrupt perjury. The cause of the indictment ar ose out of the apparently interminable litigation conneetd with Messrs. Chambers' bankruptcy. The charge against the defendant was, that on the trial of the action brought by Mr. Chambers the elder against his assignees, 10 the Court of Exchequer, the object of which rots to try the validity of the commission of bankruptcy, the defendant in his evidence for the assignees swore to havi4 had warrants, against Mr. Chambers in June and No* 1825, that he frequently applied at Mr. Chambers/ cottage at Paddington, and Mr. Chambers was denied to him, and that ha was answered through a grating in the door of the front garden door, whereas it was alleged dist he had not those warrants, that Mr. Chambers had not been denied to him when he (Mr. C.) was, in fact, st home, and that there was no grating whatever in the doer , Mr. CAMPBELL, with whom was Mr. For.LETT, s tied the case for the prosecution, and adverted to the hardshiP, experienced by Mr. Chamber s on b e i ng so l ong d epr i ve d his liberty by the conduct of his assignees, and of the c oy' tinued expenditure of such large portions of the v 0 funds which had been collected, and which would have, paid all the creditors under th e comm i ss i on . Th e L ear ned Counsel enterod at some length into the proceedings which had been taken to support the Commission, to assist which he stated the perjury of the defendant was employed' and concluded by calling the following witnesses : Mr. Hodges, a short-band-writer, read the evidence given by the defendant on the trial in question, after which The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE stated that some parts of 0 8 evidence in chief alleged to be false were so far explained by the cross-examination, that the allegations in the ill' dictment in that respect could not be supported. After some discussion, it was at length agreed to rote fine the case to the alleged perjury regarding the grating the door. The defendant swore upon the trial that in Nov., 182 5, he looked through a grating in the door, and was so' swered through it by a servant. In support of the allegation of perjury Mr. CAllyatt•! called Mr. Chambers the elder, Miss Chambers, daughter, besides his servants, and other persons, who s l ', positively swore, that they had known Mr. Chamber s cottage for many years—some of them even from the period it was built—and that there had never been, tire I° the present time, any grating whatever in the door. Mr. Chambers, and Mr. Green, his present attorney were cross-examined at considerable length respecting the legal proceedings which h ave t a k en p l ace s i nce hi s baoe,: ruptcy, the whole of whi c h ha ve b een so repea ted') before the public, as well as Mr. Chambers's cel l !,, nection with Mr. Wilton, hi s l a t e a tt orney , wheP:, he met in the King's Bench prison, where Mr. Wiltone"; a debtor. It appeared that by Mr. Chambers's directio e ' _independently of the actions already tried—his assignel i. had been arrested for a sum of 45,0001., and he h a d brotegl, 120 actions against as many of his creditors for a Vele' of covenant in revoking the letter of license. The door, which was sworn by the defendant to hs, /1 had a grating in it, was produced in Court, and all t"', witnesses swore that it was the s am e whi c h h a d alsfel; b , en at the entrance of Mr. Chambers's cottage, and neee had a grating in it. Sir JAMES ScAmArr, in his lengthened reply, der y cited the continued litigation that had already taken P I W :I S , and was likely to continue, and attributed it entirely , Mr. Chambers' desire to keep it up so long that the et!, Lute of limitations would interpose and release him fro all his simple contract creditors. The Lear''' Counsel then stated that the Jury would be Burps to hear that he was prepared with abundant to show that not only was the door now in Court a o r , one, put up within a few years, hut that for many Ye% s there was a door with a grating in it there, though what particular time it was removed could not be P ts, cisely proved. d Daniel Sired, a nurseryman, proved that he had p tags,ma a y n e d harse knew work thedaet aid d the garden yh o i f ci lt , l w r. as e c h e a r m tan be il r y es h, C; ing in 1825, and it had a grating in it.
