INSOLVEN'J' DE 3.1. ORS' COURT, Dec. t‘J.

Jam Miles 1' it.3ingtan, CCETZInonIy called Sir J 014.7. AC :es
Wilmington, came up to be b:•ard on his l'et,tion to be dis-
charged, and was oppose,i by Mr. POLLOCK, ca behalf of ae-
tlitors, /Mtn:Nl Gass and Sargz,rson. —A creditor, named l. am-
lord, opposed in person.
It wss slated in the insolvent's schedule, that his debts, which
were contracted' is ten years, amounted to 3,3511., 4991. of
wiirch were contracted by his wife before their marriage, and
!ANL since their-separation, add 1,4.14/. by his wife and sister,
in the 1,1%).1..cii don of a commission of lunacy; and it concluded
by stating, " I attribute my insolvency to the extrav,igance of
my wife."
The insolvent stated, that during the ten years he Ras co/l-
imed:ix his debts, he received 3.5901. from his mother ; that he
is entitled to property in the West Indies, in right of his wife,
which was to be sold under a decree of Chancery.
Mr. David (lass, a jeweller, stated, that at his first inter.
view with the insolvent, in the beginning of the year 1319, he
obtained credit from witness fbr a gold watch and other articles,
amounting to 931. 13s:, by representing himself to be a mart of
fortune. Witness afterwards took a hilt from him for 20a,
the acceptor of which died, and the bill is still unpaid. The
insolvent gave witness a cheque on his banker for 271. 135.,
which was paid, and a bill for bed., which was dishonoured.

111 r. Sargersot stated; that he is a wine,rnerchant; that the
prisoner applied to him for credit in June, 1822, anti referred.
him to his banker's, where he received such an account as in-
duced him to execute an order for 271. The insulvent soon after
came in a chariot, and gave an order for 33i, worth, and ac-
cepted a bill payable at his banker's for the whole, which was
dishonoured when due.

.11r. Bamford, a Proctor's clerk, oppo•,,ed on account of a
debt due to him for professional services, particularly collect.
ing witnesses in a suit in which the insolvent was a party. He
also stated that the insolvent had greatly overrated his wife's
dohts in his schedule.

PoLLocic addressed the Court, praying judgment on
the insolvent.

Mr. CooKE replied, and submitted that the insolvent was
entitled to his discharge.
The judgment of the Court was deferred to next week, to
give time for the insolvent to amend his schedule.

The. year 1825 wilt have to record that the Apterican flag-has
passed the pillars of Hercules, and unfurled if elf to the Me- •
diterranean, astonished at these new guests. The whole coast
of the Peninsula is beset by a chain of corsairs. Spain is as it
were cut off from the rest of Europe, which cannot now hold
any intercourse with her without the danger of new contentions.
Hence is formed a situation dia►uetrically opposed to the fie-
nerd intention of Europe fur the maintenance of peace, since
Spain directly thwarts this view by the continuation of war;
and the country which, for son►c years, so greatly disquieted
anti agitated Europe, which costs so dear to France. may still
aad to the burthen with which it has charged the whole world—
that of a war susceptible of extending itself throughout Europe.
" It is contrary to the nature of things that Europe sho►►ld
continue isolated from Spain, and not end by feeli► g. the effects
of her situation : this indeed is so violent, so ridiculous, so
contrary to all sound notions of Government, that it cstmot
fail to end in an early commotion. If Europe has decided not
• to see Spain left to herself, during her first revolution, how will
she be able to keep aloof from the conflagration, of which int-
prudent and furious hands are on all sides collecting the mate •
rials ? Is not the war with America one of the most active
agents of these threatening preparations ? For this war aggra-
vates the ruin of Spain ; increasing misery will increase disorder
, also, and render it incurable; and when it reaches the height,
,it will be again necessary to march into Spain. . . It is is
the nature of things that France must be the foremost to seek
the means of appeasing this disorder, and at her own eipence,
for none more than she will be in a position to exclaim--Jam
proximus ardet Ucalegon."
(To be continued.)

BATAVIA.

---
By the ship Sarah, which left Batavia on the 9th October,
we learn that up to that period, no instructions had been offi-
cially received- by the local authorities, concerning the new treaty
between the Netherlands and this country. Vague rumours of
every kind were afloat, concerning the intentions of the Bata-
vian Government, but all these rest entirely on conjecture. In
the mean time, while this uncertainty continued,people were un-
willing to move in any speculation of magnitude. One letter says
that so completely has the absurd conduct of the Dutch cut up
their commerce, that some of the most respectable Chinese
resident at Batavia, are seriously contemplating a removal to
Singapore. If these people quit Java, it will be a severe losi
to the Island, as in their hands rests much of the commercial
capital of the country, which if transferred, would be the mak-
ing of Singapore.—As it is, we are informed by letters from a
gentleman who had just arrived at Java, from that colony, that
so rapid has been the progress of improvement, that, on revisit-
ing it after an absence of little .more than three years, he could
hardly know that it was the same. place. When the Sarah sail.
ed, British manufactured goods-. were selling at the same pric
as formerly, but more slowly ; produce, particularly Coffee
was still falling. The Governor was on a tour through the
Moluccas, and it was generally believed, that on his return,
something definitive would be settled, with regard to the com.
merce of eireat.Britain.

hrmoo.—The season of 1823-4 may now be considered as
at an end ; the crop does not appear to have come up to the
average of the four preceding years, and of this there is an un-
usual proportion very inferior. The shipments to the 15th
instant amount to 72,708 maunds, short weight, and wasteage
about 3,150 maunds, from a crop of 78,818 maunds, leaves a
balance in the market of 2,952 maunds, which almost entirely
consists of ordinary and inferior qualities. It is too early to
venture an opinion on the crop yet in progress of manufacture,
but it is probable that it may nearly reach 95,631, which is the
average of the last four years.
For Europe piece goods the market continues flat, but no
difference in prices is noticed.

BAHLA.—A private letter from Bahia, dated
2.1 d November, states that. in consequence of the late revolu-
tionary movements among the troops, every thing like business
was still at a stand, ,and that such bad been the state of the
public .mind, that the growers of sugar in the interior had
withheld their produce. In consequence of advices from
Liverpool, to the middle of October, a great rise had taken
place in that article. From 000 to 11,000 ]teas per aroba has
been paid-for browns, and from 1,600 to 1,700 for whites.—
Measures have been taken for the e:nharkation of the disaffected
troops, when tranquillity will be restored, and commercial ope-
rations resumed.

NEW UNIVERSITY.—In coniequence of the
overflow of students at both our Universities, it is in contempla-
don to found a third University in the neighbourhood of York,

MR. KEAN AND DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Bow-STREET.—(THIS DAT.) This morning, shortly
after Sir RICHARD BIRNTIL had taken his seat, Perry, the
officer, was called before bins for the purpose of receiv-
ing instructions how to act this evening at the Theatre
Royal, Drury - Lane. Sir ItscliAttn RIR xir anticipated
there would be some. disturbance in the Theatre, hut gave
Perry strict orders not to enter the house to take any one out
under any circumstances, as the public would pay their money
for entrance, at the will and risk of the Managers. But, to
prevent any disturbance that might take place at the outside
of the Theatre, Perry said they were employed by the The-
atre to attend. Sir Richard observed, that the officers were
not to be ordered by the managers, and to pay attention to the
instructions he received. The Theatre, no doubt, would be
crammed in every quarter, and it might be dangerous to inter-
fere with the audience.—Perry left the Office to regulate the
patrole for the evening—The other Magistrates concurred with
Sir IL—lt is expected that considerable confusion will take
place.

Tire LAW CounTs.—This being the first day
of Binary Term, the Judges, Master of the Rolls, and King's
Counsel, breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor at Lincoln's
Inn Hall, and from thence they proceeded in procession
along the principal streets of the metropolis to Westminster-
hall,where the respective Courts was opened with the customary
formalities. Mr. Justice Bailey did not join in the cavalcade,
his Lordship being occupied the entire morning in the Court of
King's Bench justifying bail, and there awaited the arrival of
his Learned Brothers.

A meeting was held on Saturday under the
commission against Alststr, STRACEY, and Co.
of which a dividend was declared of four shil-
lings in the pound. Tile total amount proved
and claimed is about 800,000/. Of this sum about
250,0001. is claimed by the Bank, and 80,0001.
by private persons. The dividend will therefore
be on 470,0001.; but it is supposed that the
Bank will petition the LORD CHANCELLOR tl
payment be deferred until their claim is defini-
tively admitted or rejected.

Lady ALVANLEY, we are sorry to be inform-
ed; died a few days since at Edinburgh.

venting their occurrence. Being free from any disagreeable
smell, or unsightly appearance, it may he used without the
least inconvenience to the hands and arms. It is also used
with great success in cases of Scalds,, Burns, Bruises, Erup

THE TH EAT RE.

DRURY-LANE.-The new Opera, entitled The
Fall of Algiers, was represented again on Satur-
day. It is chiefly supported by the music, the
singing, and the acting, and, therefore, however
improbable in the fable, it wilt probably be at-
tractive. At the end of the Opera when Rich-
ard the Third was announced for performance
this evening►, there were some hisses, some plau-
dits and some calls for KEAN, but not sufficient
to mark the sentiments of the audience in general.
The turbulence soon subsided, and the Panto•
mime proceeded without any interruption. A
very numerous audience.

PARLIAM ENT.

HOUSE OF' LORDS, MONDAY, MARCH S.
Earl GREY presented a petition from certain Farmers,
Bankers, and others, of the Counties of Norfolk and Suffolk,
praying the Repeal of the Assessed Taxes.
Mr. Brogden and others from the Commons brought up the
Consolidated Fund Bill, the Caledonian Canal Bill, and some
private Bills.
Mr. Scott, from the Chamber of London, presented the Ac-
count of the Expenditure of the Orphans' Fund, and some
other Account, pursuant to Act of Parliament.
The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented a petition from
the Rural Dean and Clergy of - in the diocese of Glou-
cester, praying that no law might be passed admitting Catholics
to have seats in either House of Parliament. _ _ _

Lord KING, another petition from the Clergy:, praying their
Lordships not to admit Catholics into Parliament. He knew it
had been said that it was irregular and disorderly to notice pas-
sages in such petitions. But when the Clergy came forward to
give advice to their Lordship, he could not see that it was
either irregular or disorderly to state reasons why such advice
should be rejected. He wished only to caution their Lordships
how they listened to the advice of the Clergy, for they had been
at all times very ready to give it, and whenever it was followed,
it had not been advantageous to the State. The Ambassador
of his Most Catholic Majesty had, on one occasion, asked an
Ambassador of his Most Christian Majesty why it was that his
Master allow ed his Father Confessor to have so much influence
in his Councils ? Why don't your Master do the same ? was
the retort of the Christian King's Ambassador. Yes, was the
reply, and that is the very reason why our affairs are so
miserably managed. This anecdote related to Catholic Clergy,
but whether the Clergy were Catholics, Mahomedans, or of
any other religion, they had ail the same wish to give advice,
and their advice, if followed, always produced the same mis-
chievous results.

Vie Bishop of GLOUCESTER, complaining of the irregu.
lar proceedings of the Noble Lord, said, he might have 'fol-
lowed a similar course, but he wished to abstain from saying
any thing vexatious or irritating, and, therefore, lie would not
follow the Noble Lord's example.
The Bills brought up front the Commons were read a first
time. Several Private Bills were forwarded one stage, and then
their Lordships adjourns d.

ment to carry on such Company. He was determined to op-
pose the Bill, and take the sense of the House upon it—
(Hear, hear!)
_ _ _

. ,
Mr. CURTEIS said, he was not connected in any way or
form with the Company ; but on the principle of competition
he thought the measure had many recommendations. Strangers
were then ordered to withdraw, but the Bill (as we understood)
was negatived without a division.

FOR THE SUN.

ON THE PRICES OF WINES.

In the year 1772 the price of Port and Lisbon,
as sold by the English Factors in Portugal, was
five pounds a pipe, and at the Island of Madeira
that wine was sold for twenty-two pounds a pipe.
The best Teneriffe wine was then sold for three
pounds and twelve shillings a pipe. In the year
1782, Port and Lisbon were sold by the English
Factors in Portugal for ten pounds a pipe. In
the year 1796 they sold those wines for twenty
pounds a pipe, and when the duties on Wines
were doubled in England, the Portuguese Factors
doubled the price of Port and Lisbon, and sold
those wines for forty pounds a pipe. The Portu-
guese sell 25,000 pipes of the best Port Wine for
twelve pounds thirteen shillings and sixpence a
pipe to the English. Factors. Suppose the ex-
pence of a pipe of Port Wine for warehousing,
&c., until shipped for England, amounts to six
shillings and sixpence, making the price of Port
Wine to be thirteen pounds a pipe—if the gain
of the English Factors was seven pounds on each
pipe, then Port Wine would be sold for twenty
pounds a pipe in Portugal by the English factors ;
but nothing less than twenty-seven pounds a pipe
will content them. As the duty on Portugal
Wines has fallen twenty-five pounds a pipe, the
English Factors ought to sell Portugal Wines
for twenty pounds a pipe, which, with the pre-
sent duty, would reduce the price of Portugal
Wines. forty-fire pounds a pipe. It is the interest
of the King of Portugal to put a stop to the
high charges of the English Factors, who now
live like princes in Portugal, and who, after a
few years' residence in that delightful climate,
return with immense fortunes to live like noble-
men in England. If by the authority of the
King of Portugal the wines are sold by the Eng-
lish Factors for twenty pounds a pipe, more
wines will be consumed in England, and more
wines exported from Portugal, to the great ad-
vantage of the individuals of both nations.
London, England, 1825-03-29

CORN-DEALERS.

Mr. CLTRTEIS complained of the inaccuracy of the corn
returns from Ipswich, and moved for an account of the number
and names of the corn-dealers in that town.—Ordered.
CATHOLIC CLAIMS.

Sir A. CAMPBELL presented a petition from the incorpo-
rated trades of G'asgow, against any further concessions to the
Catholics.—Ordered to ie on the table.
CORN LAW'S.
Mr. CURWEN presented. a petition from merchants and
dealers in corn, in the City of London, praying for a revision
of the Corn Laws. He was no advocate for monopoly; but as
he foresaw that the greatest inconveniences would arise from
any unexpected opening of the ports, he concurred in the views
of these petitioners, who urged the necessity of revising the
corn laws, and prayed that the interests of the agriculturists
in this country, might be secured, not by a high, but by a
protecting duty of from 565. to 60s. a quarter. They prayed,
at the same time, that a moderate duty might be imposed on
the importation of foreign corn, and suggested 20s. on wheat,
10s. on barley, and 3s. on oats. They were of opinion, how-
ever, that the corn now boded ought to he let into the market
free of duty. lie trusted that the Right Hon. Gentleman
opposite (31r. Buskisson) would direct his attention at as early
a period as possible to this important subject.
Mr. ELLICE said the two propositions of these petitioners
seemed to be, that a duty of 20s. should be imposed on foreign
wheat, and their own corn, which was now in bond, should be
admitted duty free. In neither of these propositions could he
(Mr. E.) concur.

Mr. CURWEN said the lion. Gentleman had no right to
assume that any of these petitioners had any corn in bond.
Mr. H USKISSON deprecated any discussion of subject of
such feverish interest on the occasion of presenting a petition.—
He was glad to hear that the Hon. Member for Cumberland
(Mr. Curwen), who was on the Committee in 1821, and who
was then one of the staunchest advocates of monopoly, had now
somewhat relaxed in his opinions, and be hoped he would,
during the recess, impress his present more enlightened views
of the subject on that class of the community with which he was
connected, .

Mr. CURTEIS said, he was sure some mischief was coming
either to the %Vest Indies or the Agricultural interest. He ar-
gued this from the expression of those liberal sentiments he had
just heard, and which he always found to be the harbinger of
evil—(a laugh.)
11.1 r. T. W ILSON thought it was impossible to effect so great
a revolution in the system .of our commercial policy as that
which was contemplated by his Majesty's Government, without
also paying a corresponding attention to the system of our
Corn Laws.
Mr. BARING agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman op-
posite (Mr. lluskisson) in the propriety of abstaining from any
