commenced its sitting in this city ; and the suits
against Col. Wm. S. Smith, and Mr. Sam. G. oe-

We are sorry, (says TAe Ch wirston Courifr 01
July 1,) to communicate to our under* the death
of this enterprising and indefatigable traveller,
whose rev:arches in Africa have been read with so
much avidity, and have afforded so much instruc-
tion. He had been amply supplied by the British
Goisernment with every thing necessary 'to render
his second tour through the interior of that country,
of the highest benefit to mankind.—Fle arrive I at
Gorce, in a British ship of war, in the month of
March, 180 ; from which he ascended the tiler
llambia, with about fbrty attendants, provided with
portable canoes, and every suing necessary to ren-
der their travels easy and speedy—they had pene-
trated about fifteen kindred miles into the interior, to
a place called Sego, which Mr. Parke has described
is his former book of Travels. The number of his
attendants had been red*ed by sickness and death
to three, exclusive of himself ;—the King of this
place, after carrying him into every part of the city,
which is wailed in, and considered the largest in
Africa, and spewing him evety curimsity which it
afforded, had cruelly and brutally murdered him,
together with his attendants. 'Phis intelligence is
furnished us by a gentleman recently from the Ria
Pungus, who received the imormation from traders
from the interior country, and on whom reliance

INSOLVENT DEBTORS.
SURRRY ADJOURNE.L) SESSIONS, Am 29.
Before WI t.t.t A St ONsLow, Ell. Chairman, and a
numerous Bench of Justices for the county of Surrey,
held for the pnrpose of discharging Debtors from
the king's Bench Prison, under the late Insolvent
A.

Samuel Underhill was opposed hylliomasWright,
to whom he was debtor in the skim of 611. 105. for
building a cottage forihirn on some waste ground
adjohxiag Mr. William Field's premises, on the moor
near Streatham. This Creditor objected to the Pri-
soners' schedule, on the grounds that it did not set
forth the cottage in question as a part of his pro-
perty. On the other hand, however, it appeared,
that the Prisoner was an honest industrious poor
man, with a wife and children, whom he had con-
trived to support by following the business of a
gaid.ener. This Creditor wanted to have the cot-
tage delivered over to him; and the Prisoner refus-
ing to part with his only home, the Creditor, at the
nest Quarter Sessions of the Court Leet of the
Minor; represented the poor man's habitation as a
nuisance on the Manor. The Prisoner held this
cottage by special favour. the spot of ground being
a voluntary and charitable gift from the proprietor ;
and since he was in
.gaol, the Prisoner made such
assignment as was to his power to make, to Mr.
Imas, fora good and valuable conOderation.
Mr. lmas proved the fairness of the transaelion
between him and the Prisoner, rand declared that he
would take the premises,ind pay all the poor man's
debts, if a good title could be made out ; he knew
him to be an' honest industrious man, end had done
various alts of friendship for his present Creditor. It
further appeared, that the Prisoner had neves re•
ceived a bill from his creditor of'the work dons,
nor any credit for sums of money he had receved on
his account ; although the Prisoner had frequently
offered him 301. in payment, being all he could give
him.
Mr. Laws, for the Prisoner, intimated to him, that ,
if a proper representation was made to the Dean and,
Chapter of Canterbury, to whom the. premises
questiou belonged, it was very probib;e they would..
grant a lease to the purchaser. the Learned Court-
set, joined by the Court, commiserated the situation
of the poor Debtor. But Mr. Wright persisting in
his opposition, the unfortunate Debtor was remand:
ed, until he should amend his schedule.'
During this elimination, every person in Court
appeared disgusted with the Creditor; so much
so, that even there, they could not ieptess their in-
dignation, but vented it in hisses and groans, until
reprimanded by the Court. When Mr. Wright
retired, he was followed by a considerable contours
of people, who ontinued hissing and hooting after
him till out of flight.
. James Whitohurch was opposed by ?4r. laws,
'lllll behalf of a creditor, named Wm. Pope, on
itts grotto& of an imperfeet schedule, 'ibis Croat
-
tor bad sold to the Prisoner a large sviainity of.
pigs, to the amount of 11031. all of which he soon'.II
afterwar 'cis sold at different markets. But no Wit-,
nesses attending to prove the felts, the Learned
Counsel endeavoured to prove, upon the examination
of the hiscuer,' that he had an interest in a house
in St. Martin's La. prand, where a favourite com-
panion of his, known by sbe name of Pretty Polly,
resided : but it appearing fie had no interest in these
premises, and no other fan beino, established against
him, he was accordiogly.discharged.
Mt. Joii:,n Toting, a yUiing gentleman of re-
spedable family, lately from Calcutta, was also op-
posed by Mr. Laws, on the part of his Creditor,
Mr. Moore, upon the 37th section of the Aft, for
misapplying the money of his employer. It was
stated, that Mr. Moore being about to leave the
East Indies, and the Prisoner holding an office at
Calcutta, under the East India Company, and being
a young man of cha7ailer, he entrusted him with
the receipt of a large sum of mousy ; which, by his
letters, lie hid acknowleded to have received, but had
iltet wards converted 9201. of it to his own use.
It appeared, however, in behalf of the Prisoner,
upon the evidence of Mr. Braham, late Governor of
Beticoolen, that he was reduced to a most deplorable
state of ill hearth, had lost the entire use of Me limbs,
and, under all these circurn_stances, was obliged to
make use of tl.e Money of • Mr. Moots. The IVit-
ness paid his passage for him to this'couqtrt, and on
the whole he was reduced to a wretched state. The
Learned Counsel then observed, that under such
eircum•tances, the young gentletnim's father, who
WAS an ("potent man, might have come forward to
extricate hi, son. ' Hut Mr. Biaham replied, that he
understood there were some matters in controversy
between the parties.
The Leasned Chairman observed ,that there wasno
evidence in this case of any absolute agency on the
part of the Pt isioner, and therefore he did not come
within the meaning of the AR, and should accord-
be discharged.
Mr. Samuel Glover, the husband of Mrs. Glover,
the celesra-ed actress, was next opposed by Mr.
:slarryatt, oo the groundi of an imperfat schedule,
in not inserting the profits of his wife's engage-
minas at the shiferent Theatres, since his imprison-
ment ; but it appearing that these engagements
were precarious, and he had no contripul ov:r them,
he was discharged.
Mr. Richard Tomkios was next opposed by Mr.
Laws, WI various grounds—a defahve schedule ;
obtaining goods under false pretences ; being re-
fused liberation under the former ad, for obtaining
goods under false pretenses, 3cc.
The Learned Counsel stated, that there was
scarcely a Clause in the Ad upon which he did
not oppose this gentleman; and his present oppo-
sition was on behalf of M . John arc Thomas
Thompson, tonnes Grackey, Chambers and Cowie,
and Messrs. Goodwin and Co. brewers. He con-
idered• this gentleman the king of swindlers ; for
not content with taking in several persons in the
city, where he was well' known, be next took a trip
to Scotland, where lie contrived to get' into the
bo iks of those several gentlemen, for whom he was
then Advocate, to the amount of near 1,5001.
H- said, he should prove that in the year 1801, the
Poisoner was brought up to take the benefit of the
Insolvent AO at the London Sessions, when he
was remanded for obtaining goods under false
pretences.
The'Clerk of the Peace's books, for the London
se:rions, being produces', the entry of this last fast
appeared recorded.
Ale. Marry itt, for the Prisoner, ably coatendcd

that this proof was not sufficient, as the nature of.
the charge on which he was remanded; should 1)41
particularly and specifically set out.
The Learned Chairman, howavet, considering the
dc-numents produced sufficient to answer the pur-
poses of the AR of Parliament, the Prisoner was
consequently remanded.
Mr. Robert Leauct was oppos-d by Mr. Morris,
on behalf of his creditors, for a defeetive schedule.
The Learned Counsel, after adverting to the cir-
cumstances of the Prisor,r NAving ti a iseak.
rtyt, and convided of a conspiracy for defeating
the fair purposes of that Commission, and of his
having sulfated imprisonmeat, and the pillory, for
such Offence ; entrs-ed into a long examination of
the Prisoner, on the subjed of a Bill of Exchange
of 501 which he had charged against Was. Play-
fair, and other circumstances of his property ; the
result of which was; that the Court ordered him to
be remanded for a defedive'schedule.
Several `lnsolvents who were last brought up to
he discharged, objeded to paying the Marshal's
fees, for room rent,- itc. under one of the Clauses
of the present Aft; Sut the ofrjeclion being over-
ruled by the Chairman, they weit'clischarged as to
their other debts, bet remanded for their fees.
The Adjoutned Se.sious here finished, in the
course of %filch, 316 Insolvent Debtors obtained
their discharge.
The next Elution, take place the latter end rf
October, when many who were new opposed. will
again apply for their liberation.

The Magistrates and Officers are indefatigable in
their exertions to discover the p'e'rpetrators of the.
horrid murder of ibis young women, on Saturday
night, in the Borough.' A letter Was received on
Tuesday. stating, that a young man, a carpenter,
who resides in a town in Kent, was the murderer ;
but no reasonable ground being stated, why the in-
dividual should be stispeettd, and there being strong
saspicion that the writer was deranged, and the
letter likewise being anonymous', it a as not attended
to. . •
Yesterday mornilig Mr. GRAHAM received in-
formation against a man and two women in the
BOlutlgh. The gr.und of suspicion was such, that
he thought himself justified in taking them into
custody, and he accordingly dispatched Hopwood
and Lavender, two of the patrole, to apprehend

and esaissined them pritately ; not eied a Cleric

no ground of unpicks% they were discharged.

Yesterday, Nadi, the drayman, Iselonging to Mr.
Whitbread, who was, on Tuesday last, Committed
for 'driving his dray over a poor glen; named
Saunders, and breaking arm, was again brought
before Alderman flarlasv, who Piesided for the
Loan M A YOR, for the purpose of being discharged,
having. as he cor,ceived, coMpromised the bu-
siness.
It appeared, from the statement of Mrs. Saunders,
and Mr. Whitbread's Clerk, that the Prisoner had
agreed to allow Saunders and his family a weekly
allowance, daring the time of his confinemcat, on
condition that Saunders would abstain frOm an*
further pr nsecution, and that he, the Prisoner, should
be immediately discharged.
Alderman HAMICILY said, he could by no means
accede to the settlement. The Prisoner was guilty
of a very gross offence,_ in piling through the
streets In the manner he lout done, and such an
offence as, if overlobked on toy occasion, would be
very apt to increase, so as to endanger the hies of
every person who crossed from One side of the way
to the other. On the part of the public, therefore.
he found it his duty to oblige the Prisoner to fine
bag for his appearance at the next Sessions. With'
respell to the private Mkt' tr, he thought it ne

axles for the injury he had sustained.
two Clerks, bringing to Mr. Whitbread, then
went bail for 'the Piisoner, who was discharged,
first hailing paid a fine of 20s. for sitting on his
dray, and driving it through the streets, the horses
not being under the care of any other person.
GUILDH ALL.
Yesterday, a countryman was brought before
Alderman Rowcaor r. charged with taking forcible
possession of a coat, the property of a Mr. Walker.
The Complainant stated. that the Prisoner; the
day before, came into his shop without a coat, and
then fitted himself with one, for which ha was to
pay fifteen shillings. When he got the coat on his
back, he paid down one shilling. and desired the
man to call at his lodgings in Gray's-Inn.Lane, foe
the remainder of the purchase-money. Mr. Walker
refused so let him have the coat, unless he paid the
full money ; and on this a bug altercation took
place : the countryman positively refusing to take
the coat off his back, and declaring that he had no
more money about him. Mr. Walker then seeing
him tesolved to leave the shop without paying him
fostthe coat, thought it prudeat to call an Officer
to his assistance, who conveyed him to the Compter.
The Complainant stalled at the house in Grays.lrin.
Line, where the Prisoner said he lodged; and,
much to his astonishment, got a good character of
the man from his landlord, who offered to pay the
fourteen shillings ; and said that the Prisoner, for some
time hack, since the death of his wife, had been in the
habit of getting intoxicated, and being unacqoaiated
with the town, gut into many foolish scrapes. •
The Prisoner said, he was very sorry for what he
had done, but he was a little in liquor, and coining
through Moor Fields, a man fastened a quarrel on
him, and he took off his teat, a bran new tattle
green one, to fight,- but after a great deal of talk,
tl.e man would clotfight. and when he wanted to pat
on his coat again, he could not find if. He thea, he
said, went into Mr. Walker's shop, and took a coat,
which he always intended to pay for. •
The Complainant declared himself satisfie4, sing
the Alderman discharged the Prisoner.

Cancan* having ascended the throne, afforded
them protedion : in general they enjoyed a pro-
found tranquillity, till Constantine; and remained
peaceable spettators of those persecutions against
the Christians, which resembled the last struggles
of Paganism.
Under the Christian Emperors, the fats of the
Jews varied according to the genius of those Princes.
Constantine began by laying striae restriftions on
the liberty they enloy,:d ; but their turbulent temper
obliged him to pass several char against their.—
Among these, we remark one, in which he reproach-
es them with stoning and burning such of their
brethren as appeared shakes in their faith. A vio-
lent persecution, which they excited in Persia,
against the Christians, and multiplied rebellions in
different points of the Empire, obliged Constantine
to turn his arms against tit. He began by for-
bidding theft to enter Jerusalem. With.respect to
'titian, they obtained his good-will, as enemies of the
Christians; when they had obtained permi sion to
eebuild their temple. they began to persecute the
letter, overthrowing their churches, and destroying
all the objeds of their worship. Their temple, how-
ever. was never rebuilt, for Jovian having suc-
seeded Julian. was soon compelled to repress their
insolence. They remainedetunder Valens, Va-
lentinian, and Arcadian. 'Theodosius granted them
a particular juriedilltion. on account of the mul-
titude of processes which they had with the Chris-
' dans. He appointed a Prune, petforming the lune-
dons of an Imperial Judge. to reside among them.
and before whom alone they could be cited. He
acknowledged, by an express law, the authority of
their Ecclesiastical Magistrates, that is, of their
Doftors ; finally. in the year 429 of our arra, he
abolished the dignity of Patriarch, created, as we
have seea, during the reign of Nerva. Honorius,
who reigned osi-r the other portion of the empire,
treated the Jews with great equity and inJul-
mince ; he, at the same time, forbade them to
destroy one synargue, and .to build new ones.—

or s. The ten nibesexperwnoed a different lot : in
Persia. they were eXposed to a persecution, which
coutinued seventy-three years. The sixth century
epersed fee them under the same unpins: Cavade,
King of Persia, arid Chosroes the &eat. destroyed
them as well as the Christians. If We an to believe
certain Greek Historians, they drew down these
calamities on themselves. a This nation," says one
of them, ( Pheophilus Simocates) " faithless, tut-

was then powerful enough in Persia to excite the
people to rebel against their Princes, and to
strength-a the revolters. because they had main-
lined exceedhigly, sad anseseed immense wealth in
that country.
At the commencement of the 7th century, Ma-
hornet made his appearance in the East. He was
at first ep good terms with the Jews, who were
Inclined to take him for the espied Messiah. The
ten tribes passed, with all those countries, under the
dominion of the Mu:pitmans. The Arabs affeded
great toleration; the Jews were welcomed and pro-
redid by them. Under the first Caliphs. they
opened their academies; they flourished under
lifahoaset and Omar. In Egypt. and in Syria, they
lived in !' if sa..ie manner, under the dominion of the
Ommiades.
They were not so fortunate at Constantinople,
where, about the middle of the sixth century,Justinian
distsibed the Jews in the exercise of their religion.
He Chiba& the Magistrates to receive the deposi-
tions of the Jews against the Christians, and de-
prived them of the power of disposing of their
property try donation or by will, unless they ab-
jured their faith. At Barium, a town of Africa,
where they were powerful, he consecrated a mu-
nificent temple, which they bad eroded, to the
Christian worship. The reigns of Justin and Mau-
ritius were favourable to them. Phocas sent an
army against those of Syria, who had revolted,
mutilated the Bishop of Antioch, and murdered
all toe Christians. At this veiy time, they were
proteded by Gregory' the Great. throughout the
whole Christina world. Thai Pontiff mpefted
them as the Witnesses and the living proof of
the troths of Christianity. which he looked upon
them as destined, at one time or other, to embrace.
He accordingly exerted himself with indefatigable
zeal, to convert them, by all the means of persua-
sion aid gentleness. But Heraclins bore them such
inveterate hatred, that, not satisfied with persecuting
them is his empire. he wrote to France, to induce
the government of that emmtry to compel them to
abjure their religion ; and prevailed upon Sisebut,
King of Spain, to expel them from his dominions.
Several councils, assembled successively at Toledo,
censured and approved the condos!! of Sisebut. Ne-
vertheless, the Jews, who Teased to change their
religion, went obliged to lean the countries subjea
to the Goths.
It is in the 6th century that we find them, for the
first time. is France. In the year 540, Childebert
muffed a deci eo, prohibiting their appearance in
the streets of Paris, from Maundy Thursday till
Saturday in Easter week. The Council of Orleans,
held the nabe year. made a similar regulation.

In the dioceses of Unz. nod of ormont, they
