INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

It has been very sensibly asked, whether it would not
be a wise and benevoieln reaulation, that a clause should
be inserted in the repent Insolvent Debtors ACt, em-
powering the CI tttttt iissioners to call up before them, and
examine upon oath respecting his viler: s, any discharged
ins,dvelit deb or, upon a represcuta•ion braig made by
any or -Ins sintering creditors, that such insolvent is car-
rying on a very evensive busmen. This is so notorious
a cacuinsiatice, as ,u need nu further comment ; and it
would be no ninre than a fair question for the Commis-
sioners to ask, whether the capital so employed he ►he
insolvents own, or money lent him by his fa lends.

LEWIS U. WALTER.

This was an action against the Antes newspaper, for the
pirblicatMui of a libel, purporting to be a report of cedLoo
proceedings which took place lit the Kingston Assizes.
The plaintiff considering the report injurious to his cha-
racter as an attorney, brought this action, which w.is tried
at the Sittings atter Michaelmas Term at Guildhall. The
plalindlavet led in his deelaral hat the defendant, cot,.
[riving to iijure him in his said taunt 111 l of al tunic), unit to
to him into contempt, published the libel which aas the
subject of action.
There was no evidence to prove he was acting as as attor-
ney, and the learned Judge directed a nonsuit.
The Solicitor General non moved to set tile non-suit aside
and obtain a new trial, on the ground that the publication
was a libel, whether the plaint:ll was, ur nos nut, acting as
an Attorney.

motion, grunted a rule to show cause.

SECOND MEETING.

I

After the business had been regularly opened.
Mr. NI etteter came forward and informed the meeting,
that they must begin anew, and go through all the resolu-
tions once more before they gave their sanction to the
resolution in behalf of reform. He then read all the
resolutions, and moved that they be adopted 116 those of
the meeting.
Sir R. HARLAND seconded the motion.
The HIGH SHERIFF; before he put the question, sug-
gested to the meeting the propriety of waiting for the
return of Mr. Omni', and of several gentlemen who had
in I
uitted the hustings. He as informed that Mr. Goch
had been sent for, auJ in all probability would return a
few minutes.
A pause of a few minutes occurred ; but as Mr. Gooch
did not make his re-appearatiee, the High Sherd put the
resolutions to the meeting; they were entitled unani-
mously, and amidst the loudest cheering. On tha reso-
lution ill favour of reform being put, a gentleman pro-
posed that it should be carried with three cheers. This
proposition was imuie.liately acceded to.
On the cheers subsiding, a fellow in the crowd moved,
that three groans should be given to the High Sheriff.—
We need nut any, that this proposition was met with the
decided reprobation of the freeholders.
Mr. hluttsT hoped that sill symptoms of irritation
would be exhibited towards the High Sheriff, who had
only acted as he had done from a sense of duty. He
respected the manliness of the High Sheriff's character,
and the boldness with which he had acted topon his °pi-
ntos, of what was light, Besides, as he bail given them
au opportunity of canvassing the propriety nod expedi-
ency of a reform in the House of COllllllOll4, the tha
rnks
of the meeting were certainly tine to him. He (M....M.)
trusted that they would not withhold from the High she-
riff that mark of their approbation, which was generally
bestowed upon all officers presiding over public nicet-
ings. He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to Philip
Henna, Esq. Sheriff of the county oh Sutton., lur

ELSBY V. SMITH.

This was a question fur the opinion of theCotirt,
brought before the Judges upon a writ of error.—Tue
question was, whether tile judgment ought to be arrested
upon informality in the declaration.
The Lord Ciiiet Justice was of opinion that the alle-
gations w the declaration were not impeached, anti
that judgment fur the plaintiff in the action ought to be
affirmed.

The rent of the Judges were of the saute opinion.
MANDAMUS.

Mr. Campbell moved for a writ of Nlandamus, com-
manding the Alayot of Maidstone to i.ruceed to the elec-
tion of three COIIIIIIOII Councilnicii. The Learned
Couasel, some slays ago, inured for a guo wanortio, calling
upon three of the COIIIIIIOII CUUIICiI of Maidstone to
show by what authority they held that oilier. In case
the Court should grant a madainus, it w..s intended to
abandon the quo warranty.
The Lord Justice observed, that the safest
course was to abide by the yaw warranty, and refund the
application.

Lord Chief Justice asked whether the ohject he had

it was a case which required the interference of the Conn,
it was not usual to occupy their time.

summoned, retired to elect the mayor, and make the,r
presentment; contrary to the custom, Hector, who was
the agent of the Joliti family, remained with theta to
influence their decision. '1 he principal freeholders of

ment, application would be made to the Court of King's
Bench for a criminal inforination. Not,. ulistanding

• OD7SSA, JAN. I.—As the wind continues to be
favourl,le, we have received for some days past
news of a very recent date from Constantinople.—
Some ve,s2ls have arrived here, which sailed from
that city on the 29th of December. and they have
brought private letters of the 28th. At that time
the city was tolerably tranquil.
The Porte had publicly announced that hostilities
with the Persians had finally ceased, and it has in
consequence withdrawn its declaration of war. The
Persians who were imprisoned arc stated to have
been set at liberty. The termination of this affair,
which is of such great importance to Turkey, is
ascribed to the prompt intervention of England.—
But yet there are some people who do not believe
that this affair is entirely settled,
The French Ambassador has been received by the
government with much respect. The Porte observed
the most profound silence respecting the Russian
ultimatum; there is nothing surdrising in this ;
vernments do not usually acquaint the public with
the progress of negociations of thi: kind, and tht.
Turkish government is still less communicative
than any other. At all tvents, it mast wait fin- the
answer of the Cabinct of St. Petersbure, which
may make some modification in the actual state of
the negoi•iations. Great exertions are making to
equip the fleet for another expedition.

arrival of the Hind, by the vigilance of the British
Consul, and the offer of 500 dollars to the Magis-
trates, Tweedie was traced to his lodgings, and the
option offered him of either being sent on board the
Hind, or giving up the money: he acted upon the
-latter, the amount being in bills. On the following

BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE.

Letters dated tl:c Gth, from Bayonne, contain the
following particulars:—
In the patriotic society of St. Thomas, at Madrid,
the several letters Emil Barcelona were lately read,
which mentioned tine appearance of the French
frigatz L'Ainadee betore that port, and even m:ded
that other French men of war were expected cm the
coast of Catalonia, unit the answer which the French
Consul has given to the authorities of Barcelona,
that the mission of Captain ltiguer had no other
oltject than to make hians.lt mquainted with the si.
' illation of the subjects of his )(mg in this province,
and especially in this J ort, and to oar them in case
of need, the protection uf their savereign, has nut
produced a good etkct in people's minds. The
journals of the capital copy, on this occasion, an
article fi•inn the Indicator Catalan, which contain
some virulent remarks on the subject, and affirms
that all good Frenchmen arc sufficiently protteted
by our WWII and our honour. "We have always
proclaimed peace," says the indicator ; " the Spa-
niards seek no ground for quarrel with any body,
but neitlizr du they fear any one ; they are at present
more prepared ilian ever to give a new lesson of

LONDON, SLNO.IY, NOVEMBICII 17.

The rumours of a rupture between France and
Spain have subsided, und of course their eflect
upon the Funds has ceased—the depression was
great, Consols having been done at 79—but they
appear likely to regain progressively the height
they had betime attained, which was about 83,
Foreign Stocks also went down, and indcid in a
much greater propottion under the panic, but they
have been improving since—nothing but a degree
of fear as to the stability of the Governments could
keep the market of Foreign Stock so low as it is,
while it will net from G to 7i. per Ct. at the same
time that in no English Stock can you make four
per Cent.

The Congress still sits, and the Duke of Wel-
lington is still unnecessarily with it—we do hope
that some independent Member will notice this sub-
ject in the House of Commons—if the expence were
the only consideration, it would be important, but
when the dignity of the empire is compromised, it
becomes doubly so.
Mr. Bowring, it is said, is to be removed to Paris
immediatey, to be put on his trial—it will then be
seen how far the French Government has been jus-
tified in the harsh measures it has adopted towards
this gentleman.
Little Waddington has been sent fur 12 months
to Culdbath Fields, for selling one of Carlile's
works—the perseverance of these people, without
entering into the right or wrong of the thing, ap-
pears to be almost madness, forasmuch as they must
know that the oral of the law will ultimately be too
strong for them, and for ourselves we cannot at all
consider it desirable to place in the hands of the ig-
norant and uninformed plausible fallacies, by which
they may be deprived of an all-comfortable hope with-
out the powers of mind competent to the comprehen-
sion of arguments which thus defraud them—a poor
female maniac, who was brought up fur judgment
under a similar conviction, is to appear again on
the fourth day of next Term--this foolish woman,
forsaking her proper functions,

We have heard, from authority, that the painful

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

On Tuesday afternoon the oeighbourhood of Maryle-
bone, was 'Mown into the greatest slate of alarm, in
consequence of an explosion I irking place at the house of
Mr. Hall, a gunsmith, of Upper Itlarylelione-street. It
appeared that Mr. Hall is a maker of the priming for
percussion guns, and carried on such business in the
upper part of his house in the above street, and two
youths, of the age of 10 and Ise, were engaged in pre-
paring such composition. Mr. Hall being truni home,
had left the two youths and his sou at work in making
the printing, which is csmposed of potash, chin coal, and
sulphur. Mr. Hall, junior, went 11011 U *twos from the
won kehop, ■nd was in the act of returning when time ex-
plosion took place. On his return into the room, be
found the beim ementioned boys lying un the floor, iu a
mass of blued; every pane of glass, and part of the sashes
bad been blown out ; the explosion, at this time, hail ex-
tended itself round the room, tearing down the Mune fire
plaice, and actually taking the doors off the hinges; the
force of it was so great, that the whole of the ceiling of
the WWII underneath fell, and part of the wiudows un
the staircase was blown out. On examining the buys,
one was lound to be dead, and the other injured in so
dreadful • manner, that i• the evening he also died.—
There had been about five ounces of the priming in the
room, and it is supposed that one of the boys was show-
ing the other the quantity he had made that day, when
the spook of the candle accidentally falling on it, instantly
caused it to blow up, there being at the time two ounce*
in another part of the room. A coroner's inquest sat on
the bodies on Wednesday evening in the surgery of Mid•
illesex Hospital, before Mr. Stirling. The first st itness
was Mr. Hall; who stated that the two boys, who were
biutlitts, wire in his employ—that be was absent the
whole of Tuesday, mid on Isis return at sit; iu the even•

lio-WLEY, JUN. v. 6 kOUG N.

This was an action to recover damages fur assault and battery.
The defendant pleaded that he kept a public house, and •
little before the assault the plaintiff came in and conducted him-
self in a riotous and quarrelsome manner, and on his refusal to
go out, the defendant put his hand upon him and turned him
out. The cause was tried before tb• Lord Chief Justice, at the
Sittings after last Term, in Middlesex. The plaintiff is the son
of an auctioner, and the defendant, who is a respectable licensed
victualler, keeps the Swan, in Bury-street, St. James's. It ap-
peared on the trial, that the plaintiff and another person entered
the defendant's parlour, and not only rung the bell with violence
but beau to stir the tire in a most offensive way. The defem
slant finding there was a disposition to behave in a disorderly
manner, requested his visitors to leave the house.—They re-
fused, and the defendant turned the plaintiff out of doors. The
farts of the case were proved in a very able manner by a little
boy in the semice of Mr. Bruu6h, and the Jury found a verdict
fur the defendant.

Mr. Chitty this day moved to set aside the verdict and ob-
tain a new trial, no the ground that the justification by the de-
fendant bad not been mule out.
Mr. Scarlett also said he had some recollection that his
Lordship at the trial intimated that the justification was riot
'nude out.

The Lord Chief Jastice observed, that he could ma have
charged the Jury that way, because the evidence in support of
the justificatiu.. had some weight on lain mind.
Mr. Chitty then adverted to the evidence, and particularly
to the act of stirring the fire. The plaintiff mad his friends
were driven into the defendant's house, he said, by the pelting
rain. They called for beer, and the defendant refused to supply
them, on the mere ground that they had stirred the fire. He
nest assaulted the plaintiff, and turto-d him out. It was the
first time he had heard that stirring the fire in • public house
was sufficient to justify an assault committed by the landlord.
The Lard ChielJustice said, Mr. Chitty was not warranted in
that conclusion. The evidence proved improper continct on
the part of the plaintiff' and his companion. In C the Jury
ad found a verdict for the plaintiff the dausag. s inns, have

it Rid NCHOLY SHIPWRECK.

In the dreadful gale of Friday the Ist inst. The sloop Two
Sisters, of Pembroke, William Lewis, master, was driven on
the rocks called the Castles, St. Govin's Point, Pembroke-
shire,' and the hull instantly went in two. The mast' MI for-
ward, the upper part renting on the ledge of the rock, by which
the Captain and • boy ascended, which they bad hardly done,
b.-fore the nest wave broke the 'nest into three pieces, ■nd all
hope of escape was cut off.—M.-lanclioly to relate, the mate
and two passengers (a Mr. Platt, who has for some time tra-
velled from Bristol to Milford and Pembroke, &c. in the straw
bounet line ; and • • Mr. John Morris, a native of Salve, who,
alter an abseace of 25 years, was returning bonus to his friends,
fell victims to the fury of the waves!
The Captain and boy remained on the rock she whole of Fri-
day night, and till eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, com-
pleiely drenched with rain and the spray of the sea ; when, as
the only resource, the Captain attempted to ascend the cl.ff,
or immense height, and projecting in more than one place ;
tlist be most miraculously accomplialied, and, having alarmed
the neighbourhood, a rope was lowered, by which the boy was
hauled up. By Sunday morning not a vestige of the vessel
was to be seen, nor was any part of the cargo saved, except
some iron bars, • few iron axles, • malt Mill, and part of ■
grate. Lord Cawilor attended personally, with all the tenantry
Ire could intniediate2y muster, to prevent depredations ; Mr.
Freeman, of Crickinail, also assisted all in his power, and his
hospitable mansion afforded a shelter for the distressed.

Mr. Williams moved in this case, which was tried at the
Somerset Assizes, for a rule to skew cause why the •erdict of
Ills. damages in this case should not be set aside and a non-suit
entered, upon the ground that it was not proved, as set forth in
the declaration, that he bad refused either to marry or con-
tract marriage with any other ; and the defendant pleaded, that
he denied having broken the promise, and that he was still
ready and willing to marry her when called upon so to do.—
(Laughter.)
Lord Chief Justice —lt is not the business of the woman to
call upon him to marry her. It is his business to perform his
promise, by asking her to be married, and then this action,
which is for non-performance of contract, will be abated upon
the marriage taking place, Ths Court rejected the application.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
MuNDAY, NOV. it.
MURRAY a. Tilt EARL Of STAIR.
This was an action on a bond for 2,0001. executed by the
motile defendant when be was Mr. Dalrymple. The qaestion
upon the case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the
last sittings at Westminster, and the Jury found a verdict fur
the plaintiff: The bond, which arose out of a gaming triune.
tiou at Paris some years ago, was given conditionally. It was
not to be in operation before the death of the late Earl of
Stair. That couilition, according to the evidence, was not
duly observed, and the court wa. moved to set aside the ver
diet, on ground that non-cornplianoe with the conditions of
the instrument made it a nullity. They granted a rule to sliew
Cause.
