INSOLVENT DEI3TORS' COURT, Nov. 13.

jaws Orpwood, the younger, described as a surgeon's
apprentice, was opposed by a lady of the name of Darby, a
lodging-house-keeper, residing in Rodney-terrace, Mile-
end•road, a claimant for a debt of 291.

The opposing creditor appeared in person. She stated
that in the beginning of last April the insolvent called at
her house, stating that he had been recently married to a
widow lady of fortune, and wished to obtain a board and
lodging for her and himself for a period of three months,
by which time he should recave his dividends. He re-
ferred her to. Mr. Fairhead, a surgeon of Bow, to whom
he was apprenticed. She went to the house of Mr. Fair-
head, where she was informed that the insolvent was re-
spectably connected, and that his wife was possessed of
considerable property ; she was likewise told so by a lady
who lodged in her house, and believing the statements
she agreed to board and lodge them. The 'insolvent
brought his wife and her child by a former husband.
After having been in the house for a short time, the lady
herself confirmed the statements as to her property. They
remained in her house until the middle of July, whoa
they went out one day, wishing her " good morning," and
saying that they were going to receive their money, but to
her great surprise and disappointment they never after-
wards returned.

Soon after their departure she received a note from the
Insolvent, in which :hokprnntised to rail ansils,thaeOno4
did not fulfil his promise, and steer several letters TSPaSsed
between them she arrested him, considering his conduct
most fraudulent.

Mr. WOODROITX, on behalf of the insolvent, cross-
examined the opposing creditor, but nothing particular
was elicited from her beyond what she had previously stated.
The insolvent was then examined by his Counsel. He
stated that he was 22 years of age. He was apprenticed
to Mr. Fairheud, and his apprenticeship had not yet ex,
pistil. He married his wife, supposing she had property,
hut in fact she had none. His debts, which were principally
contracted for his wife, amounted to 80/. • only. His
father, he (.41, was an auctioneer.
Mr. Woonaorrx having addressed the Court,
Mr. Commissioner Howell said—l cannot see any good
that wankd be likely to arise from keeping this young man
longer in prison, yet a clear case has been made out egainst
hint under the 47th section of the Act of Parliament, I
shall not, however, remand him under that, for it would
be an everlasting stigma on his character, but I shall
sentence him to three months' imprisonment under the
discretionary clause, from the (late of filing his petition.
The insolvent was remanded accordingly.

MR. BROUGHAM AND A HOSTILE COM-
BINATION OF ATTORNIRS,-...Mr. BROUGHAM has cum•
',Mined of the menaces ofeertain attoruies, who threatened
him with professional damage for the services he proposes
to render the public by his Bill for the establishment
of local Judicatures. As we have before remarked,
the alarm and hostility of those who make profit of ex-
pensive justice are certain tests of the utility of the pro-
jected reform. From such persons, resentment was na-
turally to be expected ; hut it grieves and surprises us to
perceive bitter shahs of enmity proceeding from another
quarter, where interest does not excuse prejudice. We allude
to a distempered—we might say, a truculent•--atteck on Mr.
BROUGHAM'S plan in the last number of the Westminster
Review. We have never hesitated or feared to oppose or
censure Mr. BaouuttAst when we thought hint In error
or in fault, but we should take shame to ourselves did we
nut, with the same frankness, do justice to his meritorious
exertions, and, to the best of our ability, prwect hint
against detraction. We have been informed that the same
body of attornies intimated to SCA/MITT that 1,6 Bill for
the abolition of arrest on mesne process for debts under
100/. would be attended with disastrous consequences to
the profession. It is certain that the Bill was withdrawn,
It is for Mr. HOME, or those Members who took an in-
terest in the measure, to obtain an explanation of the cir-
cumstances. —Examiner.

Mr. THEODORE BOOK'S " Story of the
Middle flanks" will certainly appear in a few days. The
principal actors of the tale do not, we understand, rise
above the level of physicians, attorniea, artists, and oilier
proft-ssional men, and the reader is made acquainted with
the burnout's of a class which is not cursed by the demon
of fashion, ennui, and which therefore contains a rich
variety of individual,: whose eccentricities flourish in un-
pruned luxuriance. The author is also said to have
availed himself of a mine of female character hitherto ne-
glected because thought to be ill calculated for the pur-
poses of fiction; an error which will lie abundantly dis•
prow(' in tits sketches of wive', widows, mistresses of
families, old maids and other well regulated and deserving
women in the tale of "Maxwell."

Englishmen have been often justly reproached
by foreigners for neglecting their unequalled opportunities
of cultivating natural science. Though every quarter of
the globe constantly
brought accession to the stores of
zoological knowledge, yet the standard work on the sub-
ject long continued to he " Goldsmith's Animated Nature,"
a work written indeed in a pleasing style, but utterly de-
ficient in accuracy and information. The researches and
labours of Baron Coviun have produced a complete reva•
lotion in' the science of zoology ; his system is equally
remarkable for its beautiful simplicity, and for its complete
accordance with the order of nature, The publishers of
it in England have enlarged the work by copious illus.
tratinos derived from the brat modern voyages and travels,
and their selections arc distinguished as much by their
tendency to produce practical benefits its by their lively
interest. Of this great work the mammalia, the birds,
aail this fossil animals have been published; the reptiles
are now in course of publication, and from the specimen
we have seen, seem likely to maintain the high ekaracter
squirtsd by their piedecessers. We trust that the success
of the work will be proportioned to its merits.

SIR CLA UDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER.

(From the °tuner of yoterday.)

SIR CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER'S (THE 1.0.
CUM TENENS) WRITTEN OBSERVATIONS
UPON TILE CHARGES AGAINST HIM 01'
HAVING ADVISED MINISTERS TO SEND
'TROOPS INTO THE, CITY,
" Artillery-Ground, London, saturilly, Nov. 14.

" As the newspapers have been pleased to make state;
mcnts, supposed to be what passed in the Court of Alder-
men on Monday last, where every member is sworn to
secrecy, and their proceedings never appear with autho-
rity, except as the Resolutions of the Court, it is clear
that the statements they have made is the productiou of
some one who is not authorised to give it. I mast take
the liberty, therefore, to say—and I speak it with kind-
ness—that whet have been stated as my representations,
and the speeches of others, are not exactly delivered ; hut
I will not quarrel with them, for the coufusion that pre-
vailed might give colour to fanciful representations.
" The Resolution of the Court, as regarded the perk.
tion of the force provided for the peace, on the memorable
Tuesday last, is correct. . And now let me have the ho-
nour to mention what the civic force was, to keep the
.Peace against the threatened tumult, that was so ably ex-
posed by Secretary Sic Robert Peel, itt the House of Com-
mons on Monday last Pirehof which I was fully acquaint:oA
iii censequence of my`hol4ng„frum the sth of this ittiith,
'the full power of Mayoralty.. •
The force provided by the Police Committee, and known
to the Court of Aldermen, is as follows

Ward Constables 4OO
Fellowship Porters 250
Firemen l5O
Corn Porters lOO
Extra men to be hired for the day l3O
City Police, or own men 5l-1081
To this were added tradesmen, with emblems
of trade, &c. 004)
And some Gentlemen called Lumber Troopers 150—• 450
To which add that most respectable body of
Volunteers the Artillery Company l5O
A wailer equally respectable body of East India
'Volunteers, say

Total, if all came

2,26-1

Now, bear with me a little, while I co►mnent on the efficacy
of this force ; I will begin by taking the latter kart of it,
for there lie the most useful. The Artillery Ctrinpany, I
was informed by the Under-Secretary of State, was to be
a guard of honour to his Majesty, and were to be posted
at Guildhall ; the East India Volunteers were to line
King-street, Cheapside. I considered that district per-
fectly safe, and that honour would result from all their
proceedings. Now for the other force :—Warui Con-
stables, are gentlemen compelled to serve in person or by
substitute for one year, and are most useful on all com-
mon occurrences. The Fellowahip-Porters, Corn-Porters,
and extra men, were hired for the day, not drilled to any
particular service, and would do their best, I am sure.
The firemen were excellent if they could attend ; but we
were not to depend on them, for they might be occupied
in case of fire.---and there were several fires on Monday
night ; at least I know of two, one of which was at a
house of my own. The three hundred tradesmen were
to have no pay ; and I think they would have had enough►
to do in protecting their own body with emblems of their
trade ; but they most willingly offered their best services.
The Lumber T►oop are a respectable smoking dub, well
known to every candidate fur a seat in Parliament for Lon-
don, and most famed for the quantity of tobacco they con-
sume, and the porter they drink, which, I believe, from
my own observation made nineteen years ago, when I was
a candidate for that &Alio, is the only liquor allowed ; they
were to have had no pay, and I em sure they would have
done their best. The fifty-four, called City Police, were
the only fighting well-drilled men that we had, save the
volunteers. Now, I would ask whether this was a force
that would insure the plied peace of the city, where so
much disturbance was threatened on that day, and where
far more than 150,000 could be brought together within
the line of procession to behold our beloved King and
Queen, and all the Royal Family, pass on their way to do
us humour. That disturbances were organized is proved
by the desperate gangs of men that appeared at different
p'aces with tri-coloured flags (the very emblem of .revolu-
tion), followed by thousand*, on Tuesday night ; and you

•••••••rr 7.777*--
potos—,evan to tire•arms and ' ammunition, 'I will not
comment upon the result. Was I wrong, then, in saying.
that the Government would do well in having the streets
of London kept clear by the King's household troops, in
the stone manner •as when his Majesty proceeds to the
Ihmse of Lords, and that to prevent mischief a body of re-
serve should be kept ma (f sight, to route in aid if ne-
cessary. The detail I had nothing to do with. I did
say, ' Earnest watch should be kept over the Duke of
Wellington—his life was a public property, and dear to
every honest Englishman, and highly valued by the whole
civilized world.' I will only add, that on every occasion
of Majesty's coining in state into the city, in my memory,
for more than thirty years, double files of troops lined the
whole way. Invested, as I was, with the• full power of
Mayoralty, I could act no otherwise.
" CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER."

TILE EXPLANATION.
(From the Aye.)
Much having been said respecting the explanation given
by Sir Claudius Hunter, that it was not concise, intelli-
gible, and satisfactory, we submit to the public whether
the following report which we made specially, is not suffi-
cient to satisfy the mast impatient and irritated Alderman
who had ever been ousted of his turtle :
"I wenttot heseeretaryofstateniutafterseatingroyself lasktedittarly
Peelwaswell andstated that lwantetlawlitteehargerhesaltt thatheditt

We hope that all our contemporaries will do justice to
the worthy Baronet by publishing this, the only true ver-
sion of his speech. We have had the honour of submitting
it to the corrections of Sir Claudius, if any were required,
but be expressed himself perfectly satisfied.
