LONDON, THURSDAY, AUG UST 9, 1849.

The judgment of the Learned Chief Commissioner
of the Insolvent Court in re CHARLES Tintosiar, to
whom, in connexion with the credit system at Oxford,
we directed the public attention yesterday, is worthy
of serious consideration. Indeed, our observations on
the subject would be incomplete without something
more than a mere passing allusion thereto. It is im-
possible to overrate the vast importance of the topic,
not only to the rising generation, to those
who are about to be exposed to the temptations
and allurements incidental to a sojourn in one of
the ancient seats of learning, but also to parents
who submit to many sacrifices and privations to
afford their children the advantages supposed to arise
from a university education. The prospects of the for-
mer may be for ever blighted, they may be exposed to
the most serious difficulties during their subsepient
career, in consequence of the liabilities incurred
during the thoughtless indulgences of their earlier
years. The reasonable expectations of the latter may
be disappointed ; grief and anxiety may wring the
father's or the widowed mother's heart,
who, with crippled means and diminished
resources, may be compelled to submit to
further sacrifices, perhaps to act unjustly towards
other children, rather than abandon an erring son
to the melancholy fate he had earned for himself. It
is then, we say, a matter of almost national import-
ance to check the system, and to restrain the undue
facilities of credit afforded to students.
We do not desire in the slightest degree to impeach
the motives by which the Learned Chief Commissioner
was influenced in forming his judgment on the case.
We are convinced that he was actuated by a laudable
anxiety to carry into execution the intentions
of the father to free the son from his various
liabilities,
and at the same time to procure something
for the creditors on
account of their demands. He
manifest],atvhaouatiet, that the 3001. previously offered
was still available,
and that a declaration that the
insolvent should be discharged from custody con-
ditionally on 2501. beingimmediatepaid into court, would
be followed by the
payment of that sum,
and the liberation of the unfortunate
man.
The judgment, however, is not thelesa youngr impolitic, or
fraught with less dangerous consequences.
" be celebratlt will,
as Mr. CooKE justly remarked,
triumph at Oxford." It will afford the strongestd
as
encouragement to the system, which it is SO desirable
to abolish. It will induce those who, in
the words of the Learned Judge, 4‘ almost thrust
to efuse any compromise that
credit on young men,"
may be offered, and to force their debtors into the
court for relief, when such a course is not followed by
the total loss of their demands. It will prevent
parents or relatives from coming forward to offer
any partial payment, since they will be held thereto,
although the object for which the offer was madehad
been defeated.
It is clear that in the present instance the insolvent
would have been unconditionally discharged if no
proposition had been made to the creditors. The

COPENHAGEN, AUG. I.—A Cabinet Council was
held yesterday for the purpose of choosing a Danish
commissioner for Schleswig. The result is not
known, but it is generally believed that the choice
has fallen upon Count SPONNECK. The commissioner
for' England will probably be Mr. Howard, the
Secretary of Legation at Berlin.
It does not yet appear who will be appointed by
Prussia in the character of joint commissioner of
Schleswig.

THE HON. AND REV. BAPTIST NOEL.—We under-
stand, from good authority, that the Episcopal Chapel
in Gray's-inn-lane has been taken for the Hon. and Rev.
Baptist Noel ;Ibut whether in connexion with any of the
existing religious denominations we have not heard.
The late proprietor, the Rev. Mr. Mortimer, has, it is
understood, been anxious to dispose of it. It is said that
Mr. Noel has joined the Baptists.
Madame Lebrun, celebrated for her attachment
to the Queen Marie Antoinette, died a few days since at
Dinah, at the age of 106 years. She preserved all her
faculties to the last. She has left five orphans, the eldest
of whom is 78 years of age.

can tell by instinct what has been contributed towards
the Testimonial elsewhere than to ourselves—our cor •
respondent, and others similarly situated, must make
allowances for any such delay in publication. We
may observe that immediately the Committee can
obtain the complete list, of those who have transmitted
list will be publislied in our '&llll3firwatesifirrektit
the subscriptions.
" Hungary."—We have received numerous communica-
tions asking us to define the best road to Hungary,
to explain the chances of promotion in the Magyar
army, to mention the pay of officers serving under the
orders of Dembinski, and to supply other trifling little
scraps of information. Really, our correspondents must
excuse us for remaining silent. To answer all such mis•
eellaneons inquiries would be somewhat incompatible
with the incessant and diurnal labours of a journalist.

VAUXHALL.

This, the oldest place of amusement in the neighbour-
hood of the metropolis, seems to have renewed its lease
of popularity, and bids fair to become as fashionable as
it was in the days of the Spectator, or in those later
days when Beau Tibbs and party honourned Vauxhall
with their presence. The amusements commence with a
grand musical entertainment, principally of a martial
character, by a select band of performers, who have
recently b,en assisted by the full band of the Royal
Artillery. Then follows a vocal and instrumental con-
cert, in which a Lumber of favourite songs, duets, and
glees are performed in a highly creditable st)le. Next
we are introduced into the "Rotunda Theatre," where
are presented an infinite variety of scenes in the
circle, and in which the droll and agile feats
of the Auriols are really surprising. The prin-
cipal equestrians are Madern,iselle Hinn6 and Hernan-
dez, who go through the same performances as they
did before her-lithje“y and the Royal children in June
last. A very interesting exhibition next takes place
upon the ballet stage; and the first portion of the enter-
tainments concludes with a grand display of fire-works,
in which the art of the pyrotechnist is signally dis-
played. The second part opens with another vocal and
instrumental concert, and concludes with a ball, the in-
termediate time being occupied by promenades along the
beautiful walks, by visits to " the mysterious Zadoc,"
who professes to have the enviable privilege of peeping
into futurity, and by vigorous exercise at the newly•
introduced play of American bowls, a "variation" upon
the good old English game of skittles. The illumina-
tions, by many thousands of variegated lamps, thrown
into beautifully diversified figures, are upon an unpre-
cedented scale. They alone will well repay a visit.
The proprietors have evidently done their utmost to
render these gardens as attractive as possible in all
respects; and we must award to them the merit of
having hitherto given unbounded satisfaction to crowds
of visitors.

evening a general meeting of the supporters of this in-

the London Tavern, for the transaction of general busi-
ness. The report stated that since the society's forma•
lion, in 1827, 155 pensioners have been elected, and that
55 are now receiving its benefits. The males receive
141. and the females 9/. each per annum. Notwithstand-
ing there had been a deficiency of 501. in the annual sub-
scriptions during the past year, the increase of 281. had
been divided among the pensioners, and the committee
intend still further to augment the pensi,,ns to an extent
of nearly 1001. per year, to aid which it is hoped there
will be an increased number of subscribers. The re-
ceipts from all sources for the past year were

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

Dansou's chef d'oeuvre, the model of Badajoz, still
continues to attracts crowds to this favourite place of
amusement, and the engagement of the German band and
chorus, is one of the greatest hits that the proprietors
of these Gardens have ever made. As far as music is
concerned, the Surrey Z mlogical Gardens stands at the
head of all places of outdoor amusement. There has
been recently added to the menagerie a beautiful giraffe,
a present from the late Ibraham Pacha. This elegant
quadruped attracts general attention, and is much ad-
mired.

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1849.

The judgment of the Learned Chief Commissioner
of the Insolvent Court in re CHARLES THROSBY, to
whom, in connexion with the credit system at Oxford,
we directed the public attention yesterday, is worthy
of serious consideration. Indeed, our observations on
the subject would be incomplete without something
more than a mere passing allusion thereto. It is im-
possible to overrate the vast importance of the topic,
not only to the rising generation, to those
who are about to be exposed to the temptations
and allurements incidental to a sojourn in one of
the ancient seats of learning, but also to parents
who submit to many sacrifices and privations to
afford their children the advantages supposed to arise
from a university education. The prospects of the for-
mer may be for ever flighted, they may be exposed to
the most serious difficulties during their subsequent
career, in consequence of the liabilities incurred
during the thoughtless indulgences of their earlier
years. The reasonable expectations of the latter may
be disappointed ; grief and anxiety may wring the
father's or the widowed mother's heart,
who, with crippled means and diminished
resources, may be compelled to submit to
further sacrifices, perhaps to act unjustly towards
other children, rather than abandon an erring son
to the melancholy fate he had earned for himself. It
is then, we say, a matter of almost national import-
ance to check the system, and to restrain the undue
facilities of credit afforded to students.
We do not desire in the slightest degree to impeach
the motives by which the Learned Chief Commissioner
was influenced in forming his judgment on the case.
'We are convinced that he was actuated by a laudable
anxiety to carry into execution the intentions
of the father to free the son from his various
liabilities, and at the same time to procure something
for the creditors on account of their demands. He
manifestly thought that the 3001. previously offered
was atilt available, and
that a declaration

n
the words of the Learned Judge, " almost thrust
credit on young men," to refuse any compromise that
may be offered, and to force their debtors into the
court for relief, when such a course is not followed by
the total loss of their demands. It will prevent
parents or relatives from coming forward tc offer
any partial payment, since they will be held thereto,
although the object for which the offer was made had
been defeated.

It is clear that in the present instance the insolvent
would have been unconditionally discharged if no
Ipposition had been made to the creditors• The

HANOVER.

HANOVER, FEB. I.—The session of the General
Diet was opened this day by Count BERMISSEN, Mi-
nisterial President for Foreign Affairs, in the name
of his MAJESTY, who was prevented from doing so in
person. The Speech from the throne was essentially
as follows:

" His Majesty is proud of being at the head of one
of those small number of states which has escaped the
convulsions of the past year. Confident of the noble
bearing of his people, his Majesty looks with the less
anxiety on the state of our common country, the con-
stitution of which is unhappily yet uncompleted, and
also upon the state of war, which threatens the king-
dom with other dangers. His Majesty considers it as
his sacred duty to shrink from no sacrifices which may
ensure the welfare and prosperity of Germany, provided
the constitution be such that the country may bear its
own burden, and that no hindrances be laid down in the
way of its free internal development. On this subject,
especially, his Majesty reckons upon the support of the
present Assembly.
" His Majesty hails with much satisfaction the steps
which are at this moment being taken by one of the
leading German Governments to stop the current
of their imminent danger and impending division, and to
Effect that union between the princes and the peop!e
without which the permanent union and the safety of
Germany are quite impossible.
" His Majesty will joy'ully give his assent to these
measures, and will contribute, by every means in his
power, and by every sacrifice compatible with his duty,
to attain the desired goal of permanent unity.
" A variety of projects of law, relative io the Adminis-
trati,n, the budget, the Church, an.l schools, will be sub-
mitted to you."—Prussian State Gazette, Feb. 4.

Sentous RORBERY.—On Saturday night a robbery
was committed at the Aston Villa Tavern. It appears
that the landlady, having occasion to give some change,
went to the room up-stairs, where the money was kept,
and was much surprised to find the door open, as it was
always kept locked. On entering she saw a man, who
struck the candlestick out of her hand, ran down the stairs,
and out at the front door. The laudla ly screamed, and
her husband haring her, saw the thief as he passsed,
and pursued him, but in vain, as he escaped. The door
had been opened by a picklock, and 601 to len . —Aris's
