INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT.

UN.Q.I7.traTIEn A T TO RNE Ys.—ln the sittings of the Court,
yesterday n-orning, the Chief Commissioner spoke to the
following evict :—" The Court takes the earliest opportu-
ity of promulgating a Rule respecting the practice of this
Court, Wmch we have unanimously agreed upon. We have
long seen with regret, and with feelings beyond regret, the
very culpable neglect of Attorneys who practice in it. Ido
not, of course, mean all the Attorneys who practice in this
Court, but thosei who so greatly neglect the business of their
clients as to leave it in the hands of their clerks, or even of
those who are not their clerks, but to whom we greatly suspect
i they delegate the power to act n their names. Had any evidence
been brought before us, ~substantiating the fact we suspect to
exist; the person so offending would certainly be suspended
from acting in this Court. Every Attorneywho has been guEty
of this practice has been degrading the:profession to which he
belongs, and acting in direct opposition to the rules by which
he was appointed to practice in the Court. We feel it our duty
to interfe're to stop a growing evil, for which purpose we hope
the Rule we have agreed on will be effectual."

The Learned CoilimiSslo NE It then read the Rule, which is
to the folloiVing effect
That from and after the 20th day of July instant, every
schedule and balance-sheet shall be attested and signed by the
attorney acting for any insolvent who may apply for relief, and
►rot by any clerk. Butif such attorney should be, absent from
town, or prevented, by any reasonable cause from making such
attestation, then in such case.other of the attornies of.the Court
may attest the sama."

trates, and Council, unanimously elected Dr.

signed the Professorship of the Theory of Medi-
cine, the Council agreed to appoint a coadjutor
and successor on the Ist of August next.

THE RESCUE GAN6.--,Yesterday morning,
'Richard Watts, Mark Herd, Win. Mac Bride,
and J. Jones, who were concerned in the rescue
and attack upon Marsden, the gaoler, together
with R. Neil, who was • convicted of a robbery,
were publicly whipped-in the court-yard adjoin-
ing ttze.llouse of Correction. The Sheriffs were •
in attendance, with Mr. WEBB, the surgeon.
The gang, who on' their conviction was -sen-
tenced to 12 months' imprisonment, and during
that period to be flogged twice, once- directly
after their
.conviction, and the other yesterday,
entered the yard. with the most hardened levity,
although the marks of their recent whipping.
were quite perceptible on their baCks. On re-
ceiVing their punishment they seemed to look
upOti it as a mere tiifle, although the number in.
flicted upon them was nearly
.100 lashes.
DREADFUL ACcinENT.-Yesterday afternoon
a most calamitous accident- happened at the•ma,'
nufactory of Mt% Cirarl-r, blinder, Gray's=lnn-
road, by the explosion of a-- quantity of strong
varnish, used in poliShing mahogany. One man'
(the -forethan) named;--FonEsTen, was -killed on
the spot, and three others were carried to the
hospital so much injured as to make it doubtful
whether they will recover. . The boiler being on
a. 'fire in the workshop where the men were at
work, it boiled over, and having communicated
its contents to the, tire., the whole instantly ig-
nited with -an explosion resembling that of a
piece of ordnance. - •
