INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

UNQUALIFIED ATTORNIUAII.—On the sitting of the
Culp t, on Monday, the Cliicf Co aaaaaa issitouer delivered the
following address :
The Court takes the earliest opportunity of pronnilgating
a role respecting the practice of thi. Corot, which we
have this mor aa iaa g unanimously agreed sm. We have lung
sects with regret, and with feelings beyond regret, the
very culpable negligence ot• the attorneys appointed to
practise in it. Ido not of course mean all the attorneys
who practise in this Coal t, but those who so greatly
neglect the business of their clients as to leave it in the
hoods of their desks, or even of those who are not their
clerks, but to whom we greatly suspect they delegate the
power to act in their names. had any evidence beets
brought before us, substantiating the fact we suspect to
exist, the person so offeanling would et:M.6llly be sus-
pended from acting in this Cunt!. Every attorney who
has beets guilty of this practice, has twirl degrading the
protession to which lie belong., and acting in direct op-
position to the rules by which lie was appointed to prat-
rise in the Court. We feel it uur ditty to interfere to stop
a glowing evil, for which pm pm.e we hope that the rule
we have agreed on will be Accurst.
'I. he learned Commissioner then read the rule, which
is as lUllOWN:—" That front and alter the day of Jill)
instant, every schedule and balance-sheet ',hale he attested
slid signed by the alto; ney acting rut oily insolvent who
may apply for relief, and not by clei x. Gut it its. h
attorney should be absent titan Iv wit, or prevented by
any reasonable cause from making such attestation, then
in such case some other of the atturnies ut the Court way
attest the seine."
John "Ifliatchtr was brought up to be heard on his peti-
tion to be discharged.
The insolvent was opposed by Isis landlord, for refusing
to 11, liver up possevsiuu of the house its which lie lived on
flso uspirstion of Ise lease. It appeared that the ru•olvent
paid his tent in full, but that ins tclusal tv delver the

fir

possession had obliged his landlord to bring an ejectment'
the proceedings on width cost SOI.
The Court censured the insolvent's conduct severely,
and declared that lie should Out be entitled to lois
charge until lie slionld lie in prison *is months from the
date of tiling his petition.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO DRURY-LANE
THEATRE.
On Tuesday night her Majesty, pursuant to the
intimation given during the week, honoured this
theatre with her presence. She came attended by
Lord and Lady Hood, in her state carriage, and,
on her entrance into the theatre, the audience rose
and greeted her with continued and unanimous
acclamations. God save the Queen was called for
from all parts of the house, when the theatrical
corps came forward and sung the anthem of God
save Ms Xing, substituting only the name of the
Queen for that of the King. Some of the performers
however omitted to do this, and the omission was
supplied by the audience, who joined in chorus.—
The anthem was loudly encored, and, after some
delay, the company obeyed the call of the audience;
not, however, so promptly as we have seen them on
recent visits of a similar nature. The pit and gal-
leries were crowded to excess, and the boxes were
respectably, though not so numerously attended as
the other parts of the house, until the middle of the
performance. The play was Guy Mannering, and
was decently performed.
Her Majesty remained until the conclusion of the
entertainments, and received on her departure the
same manifestations of regard as on her entrance.

The printer of the announcing the ho-
nour her Majesty intended doing the theatre, very
properly according to custom headed it—" By com-
mand of her Majesty"—this Mr. Elliston impudently
altered to—" By special desire of her Majesty"—an
alteration which we hope will be properly remem-
bered by the general frequenters of the theatre.
