ways closely united), anti of participating with then, in the
advantages of the liberal constitution framing at Lisbon,
should prove abortive, do all with one conasnern acand re-
solve as follows :

cruit-II tin details, it appears that the change did

were killed.
%%lien the account came away, all was tranquil.

These circumstances, when connected, it was
urged by Mr. Houuwroo. 'solicitor for the oppos-
ing creditor. were tantamount to a fraud, and lie
submitted that the Insolvent was not entitled to his
discharge ; and, as a further proof of frandolent in-
tent, Insolvent had given a bill of sale of his pro-
perty so early as in May, 1819, and before the pur-
chase of the timber. The insolvent had, there-
fore, Mr. Houghton contended, made the con-
tract tier timber, well knowing that he had not the
probable means of paying for it.
To rebut these charges, the Insolvent proved,
that at the time he purchased the timber, be had a
reversionary property in expectancy, from the le-
gacy of his grandfather, and i I V1.1.1'.1 reversionary
iu-
terrst be did absolutely sell, previous to the bill
for the Marquis's timber becoming due.
The COURT, after duly considering the case,
decided that there was no fraudulent intention, and
that the Insolvent was entitled to his discharge.

GLASGOW, APRIL 514.
Yesterday the King's .birth-day was celebrated
with the customary demonstrations of loyalty. The
military and volunteers, in the presence of an im-
mense crowd, manoeuvred sod fired in the Green;,
and in the evening his Majesty's health was drink,

Strews. The juvenile loyalists amused themselveis
cluing the day by letting off pistols, squibs, and
crackers. 'rise populace came into play as the
evening advanced. A timing yo-barrel was pa-
✓aded through the principal streets, and then used
to light up a bonfire in front of the prison. 'Lillie
Clelland'a palings are the materials usually seized
upon for expressing loyalty. Five Akmitlis ago the
mob consigned them to conflagration for the escape
of the Queen ; and last night a similar ass was
made of them in honour of his alolesty. The bon-
fire had not lasted long, before the police-officers
came forward and endeavoured to prevent further
depredation; but they were fiercely assailed by the
mobb and obliged to retire.
A small party of dragoons then came to the spot.
The officer commanding then), in the most humane
manner, tried to persuade the populace to desist,
but they sosswered his mild deportment by hisses
and a volley of sticks. The officer still contented
himself with keeping off the crowd front the fire,

praise ; every mars of this small party was cut or

lord Provost and the head gauler were cut on the

Goelnitz, a small town situated among the 1110L111-
tains; not far front the village a countryman joined
her, and demanded whine she was going; the girl
replied, that she was journeying with the ruin of
200 florins to Goelnitz. The countryman told her
that he sits going there also, mud proposed to travel
together. The young girl expressed much satis-
faction at this arrangement, because she was not
very well acquainted with the road through a wood
which she was to pass on her journey. At the wood
the countryman pursued a path which lie told the
girl would shorten their journey at least Iwo leagues.
At length they arrived et the mouth of an excavation
which had once been wen keel as a mine; the country-
man stopped short, and in a loud voice said to the
girl," Behold your grave! deliver me the money in.
staidly." The girl, I rembling with fear,cumplird with
Isis demand, end then entreated him to spare her life;
the villain was inflexible ; he commanded Ins vie-
tan to undress herself; the unfortunate girl was
soon stewed to her chortise ; the monster command-
ed her to deliver to him even this last article of her
dress. The poor girl fell on he► knees sold suppli-
cated, with uplifted hands, to have her chemise re-
turned to ',coerce her modesty ; the villain then
turtling round, the girl sprung upon hint, precipi-
tated him into the cavity, theu ran and announced
to the village what hail hapuened to her. Seveial
of the inhabitants., provided with ladilers, retained
with her to the spot. They descended into the
hole, and found the countryman dead, with the
clothes and inetrey which he had taken from the
girl in his immersion. Near him lay three dead
feeble bodies in a state of putrefuction. It is pro-
bable that these were vict:ins to the rapacity of the
same villain. In a girdle which he had round his
body was discovered a sum or 600 florins iu gold.
