THE CANTERBURY ORGIES•

The following is the apology now put forward
for the disloyal speeches and disloyal cheers of the
Tories at Canterbury. The parsons and the mili-
tary must be highly gratified with the character
given them by the Times of this morning. What
a picture of the censors of morals—the teachers of
religion—and the great bulwarks of our Protestant
Church, as drunk as troopers I The great organ
of the army and church-militant thus describes the
orgies at Canterbury :
" A military Tory, irritated by the disparagement of
the persons and principles he is attached to, or a mili-
tant parson who knows little or nothing of the exterior
vtorld, and sees before him but the injury done and
threatened to his Church, comes forward at a public
meeting, and there, under the influence of warmth
and wine, and with an idle ambition to say some-
thing that shall he thought strong, commits himself to
some expression which the thoughtless part of his au-
dience applaud."

MESSRS. CHAMBERS AND SON'S

BANKRUPTCY.

Yesterday morning a meeting of the creditors of
Messrs. Chambers and Son, was held in the
house of Mr. Denew, in Charles-street, Ber-
keley-square, to receive a communication from Mr.
Lambert, who had been proposed as an assignee to act
with Messrs. Denew and Legh, and to consider what
steps should be taken in consequence of that gentle"
man declining to undertake the office. The proceed'
ing began by Mr. T. C. Treslove, Queen's Counsel, who
was in the Chair, reading a letter, dated Oct. 24, frog'
Messrs. Mayhew, Johnston, and Mayhew, in which it
was stated that they were instructed by the principal
creditors, who had met on that day for filling up the
vacancies, to request hire (Mr. Treslove) to permit
himself to be placed on the Committee. That gentle-
man on the following day, the 25th October, comniti"
nicated his refusal to form one of the Committee. Fie
however attended Messrs. Mayhew's meeting at Ms'
Groom's on the 26th, but merely as a spectator. 'nee
Learned Gentleman proceeded to give an account 0'
what took place there, and was followed in the sal°
course by Mr. Lambert, who stated the circumstances
which led him to refuse being put in nomination as ooe
of the assignees. Both gentlemen strongly censured the
conduct of Mr. Mayhew. The Learned Chairman
thought it questionable whether,:in point of law, if „,eer-
tain assignees were appointed in consequence of Inn
Mayhew's canvassing amongst the creditors that ar
pointment might not be set aside.
After some further conversation, in which gi:
Denew, the Rev. Mr. Newcombe, and Mr. Jerrar°
took part, the nomination of Mr. Artis was agreed en'
The meeting then separated.
The parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, are ere:
ditors to the amount of 10,0001., and it is said thet
they will support the nomination of Messrs, Legh, De.
new, and Artis.
