BOARD OF EXOSE.

Mr. Andrew Anderson, who carries on the business of a bis-
cuit-baker and soup-rooms, at No. 79, Lombard-street, nearly
opposite the Post-office, was charged oh an information, with
retailing British wines (sweets) and spirituous liquors, in his
rooms, the same not being regularly licensed.
Mr. Anderson pleaded that he was not liable, because it was
the act of his wife, who carried on the business inLombard-street
on her own account, and was privileged so to do according to
ancient custom of the City of London.
The C'bunT said, that according to the custom and privilege
alluded to, the wife alone might be answerable for her debts,
but this was an illegal act, and they were-of opinion that the,
husband was liable, the privilege of the City of London not ex-
tending to illegal acts ; they therefore ordered the defendant to
pay the mitigated penalty of 51. in each case, subject to an ap-
peal.—The defendant signified his intention to appeal.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS'. COURT, JULY 2. -
William Johnson came up to be heard on his petition to be
discharged, and was opposed by Mr. Pollock on behalf of the
Trustees of the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch. •

It appeared by the insolvent's examination, that he had been
ten years collector of the parish, and that he had lately become
' deficient in his accounts in the sum of 38.51. which lie had ap-
plied to his own use. He gave security to the Trustees at the
time he was appointed.
Mr. Pox. Loci: submitted to the Court, that a clear case of
embezzlement had been made out against the insolvent. • Whe-
ther the securities were good or,.bad could make no difference.
'The Trustees were bound to issue execution against the Insol-
vent's gOods as they had done, or they could not substantiate
their claim against his sureties.
Mr. HEATH, for the insolvent, strenuously contended that
no case was made against him. The insolvent's deficiency at
the end of ten years' Was nothing but a debt, as between two in-
dividuals dealing together: Ile had given sureties to the Board •
of Trustees, and was not their servant in any sense that made his
deficiency embezzlenient; nor was there any instance of the
Collector of a public body being indicted for an embezzlement,
though there were many instances of their being deficient in their
payments. - The Crown had particular rights, which Boards had
not ; and the Board of Trustees had, in the present case, taken
every thing the insolvent had in execution as lbr a debt, and had
also,his sureties to look to, but still not content, they came into
Court to oppose his discharge. The insolvent, to come under the
penal clause of the Act, must have fraud in his mind at the
time of contracting the debt, and surely his being deficient in
his accounts at the end of ten years could not be considered
proof of such intention.
The CdultT said, the money collected by the insolvent was
received by him in trust for the pi blic body who appointed
him their Collector, and when he-applied any part of it to his
own use he violated the trust, and contracted a debt fraudu-
lently. The judgment of the Court therefore was, that he
should be remanded for eight months from the ate of his
Petition.

Yesterday the Clergymen and Churchwardens
of the parishes of Mary-le-hone and St. Anne's, Soho, were
actively, engaged g9ing from house to house soliciting Subscrip-
tions, for the Relief of , the Distressed Peasantry of Ireland,
and collected considerable sums in the course of the day.

The Churchwardens of, Great Waltham, Essex,
have instituted fresh proceedings in the Consis-
tory -Court against the Rev. Dr. CLARKE, for a
series of irregularities in the discharge of bi 3
duties—the articles wore read in Court on
Friday, when Dr. C. replied, that " he had,done
as much Church Service as he was able. lie
had done the duties of the door opener, bell-
ringer, and clock winder, as well as that of
Clergyman, for these last 20 years."—(Morning
Paper.)

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Sunday. The intelligence from France shews
that the march of troops towards the Spanish
frontier continues, and it announces as certain
the defeat of several Corps of insurgents, in the
Provinces of Navarre,. Biscay, and Guipuscoa.—
In the Sitting of the. French Chamhei of Depu-
ties, on the 29th ult.; the discussion of the new

Custom Duties was resumed, and, after a Icing
debate, the proposition of the Government,
posing a duty of 50 francs a head on the
im-
portation of oxen, was adopted. The following
comparison in M. DE LA BORDE's speech, between
France and some of her neighbours, is not without
interest :--

" Animal food, Gentlemen, is an object of luxury in France
—(long and noisy interruption on the right) ;—little of it is
consumed out of towns. The price is too high, compared'
with other things, and people are in the habit of consider-
ing it as not an article of first necessity. From the state-
ment, published by M. Montalivet, in 1812, it appears that
the French consume annually on an average only twenty
pounds of meat, while the English consume two hun-
dred and twenty pounds—(laugh);—but as in this state-
ment Belgium and Piedmont, which have much more cat'
tle, are included, we ought to limit the consumption of the
country to fourteen pounds for each. The butcher, Sauve'
grain, who wrote in 1806, and who had collected good docu-
ments, limited the consumption to 14 pounds. From the state-
ment of cattle entered at the CoMmunes; subject to tilt! (Oral 't
in 1820 and 1821, we may see that the six.millions of inhabi-
tants, nearly,who compose the towns, including Paris, consum-
ed one with another only 62 pounds a &ad, which, divide
over France, and supposing four millions more to eat the same
quantity in the country, which is a high estimate, the average
would be 20 pounds and a half per individual. The same co-
incidence has place between France and _England, with respect ,
to the number of cattle, &c. killed : in France the number •
was from seven to eight thousand, and in England it
amounted,. in 1817, to twelve 'millions. France is unfortu-

nately one of the countries of Europe in which the lower
classes of inhabitants live the worst and labour the most.
Countries very inferior to it in civilization, such as Bohemia,
Austria, Bavaiia, the Palatinate, Upper Italy, are superior to,
it in culture, and overflow with cattle. The Frenchman i 5
placed on a dear soil on account of the great population, and
moreover on an ungrateful soil, from the want of capital or shill
to derive advantage from it. Agriculture, though. improved
since the revolution, is still in its infancy—(Laugh on the right.)
—The north alone, a part of the ,west, and a few basins of
great rivers, have the garden culture, and raise cattle ; but the
great table lands, and the half of the rest of the country, are ab•
solutdy in want of them, and consequently follow the shame'
ful rotatiqn of rye, oats, and fallow. how then can we speak
of superabundance of cattle in a country which does not con-
tain the tenth part of what it could feed ; when the third of the,
inhabitants only consume animal food ; and when we see
the Custom House entries the enormous mass of five millions
of hides imported ? We ought to give the people a taste f°r
animal food by allowing them to have it at a rate at which the!,
can purchase it. The increased demand will naturally induce
our own cultivators to cultivate artificial grasses, &c. so that,
their present sacrifice may ultimately be of advantage to the
With respect to the state of the, relations be-.
