INSOLVENT COURT, DUBLIN, Nov. 9.

FREDERICK EDWARD JONES, ESQ., AN INSOLVENT.

This unhappy Gentleman, who can trace his lineage to
many generations back-7-1;711o, when he entered upon life,
had an estate of £2,500 a year, and £lO,OOO in the Bank of
Ireland !--who bad been the munificent and liberal ca-
terer of public amusements for the last twenty years—who
had raised the character of the drama, and had been the
patron of merit, and founder of the fame and fortunes of all
the performers who have figured upon our stage during se-,
veral years past, was this broUght up in the humble cha-
racter of an insolvent. There was no opposition, and the
and of extreme peculiarity;
Learned Commissioner.: (Mr. Burrowes), in ordering his dis-
charge, observed with much feeling,, that Mr. Jones's case.
butas ailtidtelcied same eoftiqueatimt was one Which he felt himself.jus-
tilled in extending the merciful jurisdiction of-the Court. Taking
into consideration who 11l r. Jones was,-the peculiar nature ofhi&
transactions with the public--and the-calamities thereby brought
on himself and his family—he.. (tha'Commissioner) felt much
pleasure in affording to Mr. Jones.a protection to his person.—
tie had certainly come before the Court with a lOad of debt,
which, in ordinary, cases, would cause hith to hesitate ; but
aware that his present unhappy situation was brought about by
causes of which he could have had no forsesight, and over which
he could have no contronl, bet( M r. Burrows) wa& happy in hay- '
ing it in his power to extend to hini the 'fun benefit of the act. •
Mr. JOnes, atter stating that he bad, four years ago, volun-
tarily, and without any solicitation from his creditors, vested
the whole of his property in the hands Of trustees, respectfully
bowed to the Court and WithdrcW, re erring the hearty gratula-
tions of his friends in Court.

RISE OF WHEAT.—Tfie Troy Post of October 3, says "'a
few months since this article was. selling= in our streets from 135
to 75 cents ; it is now 125 cents and is rising."
A letter from a correspondent at Utica, dated on Tuesday last;
mentions, that informatiOn had been received from.-Sackett'S
Harbour, of the-sudden departure of Captain Thurston, of the-
steam-boat Sophia, which plies between that place aneKiligsi
ton. It appeared that Capt. Thurston.liad,been entrusted will*
a considerable sum in notes of tlie. Upper Canada Rank, which
he was to exchange at the Kingston Bank.
THE MARKETS.—We are glad to perceive that the markets
abroad are so much improved as to enable our' merchants to
pay the farmer better prices. In this village 44 cents per bushel
is paid in cash, or 50 cents-in goods, for wheat ; and ashes com-
mand from 90 to 95 dollars per ton.—(Cont. RepoS.) • '

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR SEPTE3LBER

MONTREAL, OCT. 6.—The principal crops being harvested
last month; there remained but only, the late sowed Oats and a
few Pease, which have been housed in good order, •
As Indian Corn is chiefly cultivated in new settlements for
bread, in those places
,it is the principal crop. Although the
season has been dry, the corn has not filled well,,and some dis-
aPpointment will be met with, by those •who depended too much
on it.
Buck Wheat has been very indifferent this season ; the
greater part has been blighted.
The Root Crops have much improved by the rain, which fell
im the early part of the month. The • Pasture Land has not
been so good at this period, for some years.=The Land laid
down to Grass this Swing, has been very successful, the plants
are very fine.—Autumnal Ploughing is in full'operation ; great
breadths are to be seen in each direction.—The encouragement
given by the Legislature for improveMents in' Agriculture be-
comes very conspicuous. The farmers, aware of its generous
intention, vie with each other .in order to be worthy of the ho-
nour conferred on. their endeavours; the zeal-evinced by them to
improve the shape of each description of anilnals gives a flatter-
ing hope that the time is not very distant when they will be
able to furnish as fine animals as•their neighbours. It must be
admitted they owe their superiority to England, froM whence
they import their best breed : and from, the same sources we
have the like means. The District Show on the 28th ins't. was
furnished with a great number of very fine neat cattle, amongst
which was a very fine bull, of the Bakewell breed, belonging to
Mr. Knapp, of St. Armand, that surpassed any thing pro-
duced before in this country. - The horses were not so numerous
as at former shows, yet there were some very fine ones. Those
of Messrs. Jefferies and Straker promise an • improvement in
• out breed. ' •

• Mr. Penner's Leicestershire Ram is a great acquisition to the
country,- as a cross with him will greatly improve the breed' of
sheep. 'ln regard to Swine, perhaps there are none finer than
the different breeds already in the country.
Although there were few competitors for the gratuity offered.
for Cheese, those produced were equal, -if not superior, to what.
is imported ; thus giving proof of the capability of the country
to supply its wants. •
- The Cattle Shows may eventually produce fairs, than which
nothing is more desirable the times and place to hold them
might be fixed as follows :—At Chambly on the Ist of Septem,
ber, at L'AsSomptionon.the 13th, and at !ilOntreal on the 29th.
Such an arrangement being made, and conveniences appro-
priated, it would give very essential advantages to- the 'District;
and establish • a resort for the purchase of , each description of.
stock, where the breedeis and feeders.could be acconimodated.-
At present, the ccuntry is much =cramped for Want 'of those
establishments.
' Oc roil it 10.—(ATTEMPT AT ARSON.)--MTareinformed
by a person of respectability, that, the night befiire last, no less
than three attempts, two in •Lagauchetier-street 'and one in
Bleury-street, were made to ,set sonic houses ',there on ..fire by.
-placing combustibleanatter against the doors :,these wicked de-
signs were fortunately discovered in time and prevented. •
DIED—On the let of August, at Belmont 'house, near
Havant, England, Lady Prevost, relict of the late Sir George
Prevost, Bart., in the 55th year of her age.,=At Three Rivers,

see the generation of his offspring, Allan M'Donell, of
Lundey, Esq. a Native of Glengary in Inverness-shire. • • -
Ocw. 13.—Wolves, we understand haVe lately rendezvoused
at Lachenaye and its environs. One-of them, as large as a full
sized Newfoundland dog, a few days ago h: d• the audacity to.
puss close by :the door of one of the inhabitants, in broad day
light.
His Excellency the Governor in Chief departed from this
city last Thursday afternoon on his rgturo to Sorel, by, the way
(we hear) of Chambly.
'OcT. 16.—Last Saturday morning early, a saddler named
Brass residing in St. Lawrence Suburbs, found, on awaking,
that his wife and he were lying at " beads and points," or (to
speak less idiomatically), that the feet of each were beside the
head of the other.
She had during the night been stifled by theintoxication of
the preceding evepingovithout having had in her agony the power
of supplicating help, though her 'struggles had- been violent
enough materially to change her attitude.- It .being proved
that the deceased had lived with her husband on amicable terms,
the verdict of the Jury was conformable to the ostensible cause
-of the casualty.: This is the -fifth, inpiest that has been held
this week, and the fourth izstanee of deativby inebriety during.
the same period..
Arrived here yesterday evening, via the il. S. Lord Maule,
nephew to his Fxcelleifey.the Governor-in-Chief, accompanied
by a Naval Officer.

FRUIT TBEEs.—There are few_objects more attainable than
the increase of British fruit, nor is there any more valuable means
of employing land. Large orchards would repay the speculator
Well, and by a little attention afford a great increase of nu-
triment - As this is ascertained to be .the fact, is it not a
shame to see, even in the garderis of respectable persons, old
-trees past bearing allowed to stand useless, -merely because the
owner is too indolent to send for a nurseryman to plant new
ones,- or, in the instance of apples) to put in new grafts'—

CORONER'S -INQUEST.O.II Monday!nig-ljt the' •
adjourned liiqueq• on Benry!•COll,-1, who was ,
unfortunately killed by-falling from a scaffold in
Paul'3 Cathedral, took place in the Board
Room at St. Bartholomew's Hospital.

After the'dury were empaunelled and sworn, they.proceeded
with Mr. STAEr.Torr, the Coroner, to View the seini-d -fidut -
which the unfortunate man had fallen. They were met liy•the
rArchitect, the Superintendent, and Clerks of the Woiks3 who
politely conducted them all over the edifice, "And, pointed 'out
not only the'scaffold hi question for•their inspection, 'put ell the
other scaffolding kelongulg tdthe building, and afterwards 're-
tu'rntd:to.the Jury Room: ,
One of the witnesses who was examined before, was now. re-

examined as to the preCise.situation .of the scaffold when
accident occurred, and also the scaffold he was biiiisell'on at
the time. lie said that some additional boards had beam placc.di
on' the latter since he last saw it, and others had been talen
off the 'former previously to the accident on' Thursday:e-niort
ino some of these might have been added to the lower
seeirelo. .
John Linderback, residing at No. 16, Wood-street, Wt-
rninster,- stated that he is by a trade a bricklayer and plasterer,
and •was employed by Mr. Monday in repairing. St. Paul's
Church. Ile was there foreman of a gang ofocaffbiders, and it
was by his direction that the scaffold' from which the'deceaseil
had fallen was • built. The Cavity or gangway, in tiv middle
was the place where the men carried up the colours. He saiq.
the deceased pitch some coloUrs on the :scaffold, -and' when ip
the ,act of so doing his head struck against the cornice, :and he
was thrbivri backward into the opening in the middle, a,nd'pr
• cipitated to the • ground. :He had himself removed one; of Cue
planks before, without instructions so to do, which was placid •
in a sithationfo prevent hisfalling.
The CcitoNEß observed, that in such perilous situations
there should always be,a second scaffolding erected to catch any
thing which might fall from the upper (inc.
The Architect said,. that. the greatest .pains had been taken
to prevent accidents, and that the scaffolding could have been
Pileup at half the 'apense if taken by-Contract—some ofthe
persons employed were sailors, and gloried in getting upon the
most elevated and dangerous places.
The Col oXEConoXEn said that was the very reason why the.utnipst
precaution shouldhe taken by those whose duty it was to put
up the scaffolding. He hoped no more lives would be:losuin
this business. The scaffold in question was the_ most insecure
of any one in the building, and he thought there was riot:due
precautiontakeri. • • • .
The Jury said they had 'seen the scaffold,' and were of opi-
nion there was some want Of proper precaution.—Verdi,t,
" Accidental Death with the forfeiture uf the scaffold." '

SlTlClDE.—Yesterday an Inquisition was taken at the house
of Mr. EdWards, the Qross Keys Tavern, Theobald=road,
before THOMAS STlnr.x G, Esq Coroner, on ,Tiew of the bay
of Sarah July, aged 40 years, who was found dead.in her,bed,
on Suhday last, at her Likings, No. 42, Thiobald-road. Tor
the last fortnight the deceased had not been seen, but her ab-
sence although, long, caused no uneasiness, as she Was-frequently
doing so, untillastweek, when the inmates of the house were
so annoyed by a most infectious smell, and finding it Issued from
the apartment of the deceased, they desired the door to.be
opened on Saturday,- when she was found in a state of corrup-
tion. From the circumstance of two empty vials, which. had
.containedlaudinum, being found under tile Tillow, it was the
surgeon's opinion she had drank the contents, whicli.eausetP dis-
solution. The Jury therefore, returned a verdict. That the
deceased destroyed herself by taking laudanum in a state of de-,
rangement."

PRISON REGULATI ON::.—Notices were yester-
day stuck up in the various police-offices, that
froni and after Monday last the visiters will be.
only admitted to the prisoners in the house of
Correction, Cold Bath-fields, once in every week
during their imprisonment. Male visiters to be

Effects of the late Rain at Battle-Bridge, 4-!;:.
—On Friday night last, the rain fell in torrents
in the metropolis and its vicinity, and the low
grounds were' completely flooded at Battle-
bridge. On Saturday morning the cellars of
most of the houses were filled with water,, and
in some, before the inhabitants had risen frank
their beds, the water had gained a consideeable
'height up the stairs of their sleeping rooms. In
the road leading from Bagnigge Wells Tavern
down tothe Turnpike, which is at .the bottom:of
the hill leading to Islington, the sewer (Aich
is open, with railing on each side, to prevent
persons falling into it) overflowed into the main
road, and such was the strength of the current,
that it carried away every thing in its way. A
little child, belonging. to' one of the:cottagers,
was driven down the stream which suddenly,
overflowed the bank, and in the. -. sight of the dis
tracted parent borne,to the open sewer, and car-
ried down the current at a rapid rate. • The
'mother ran after her child,- and, leapt into the
Sewer, and threw out her arms,, grasping at the.
child, but alas ! she missed the dear object of her
aim, and it was driven under the arched sewer,
and perished. The frantic mother, in a state of
distraction,' would . have destroyed herself, but
for the neighbours, whd witnessed the shocking
circumstance. The body of the child has not
yet, nor is it supposed that it ever will ..be
found, as in all probability it was carried a great
distance under' ground.
Last Saturday, at midnight, we had a most
violent storm of wind, rain, and hail, accom-
panied with thunder and very vivid, flashes ,of
lightning; for about two hours; the wind and
rain, which latter fell in torrents, beat in one of
the windows, of the garrison Chapel, but we have
heard of no other instance -of damage' by it.—
(Portsmouth Paper.) •- • • ;)

Fridai night a circumstance somewhat similar
to the moving bog in Ireland, occurred at Read-
ing, Berks :—A garden at the back of a house in
Castle-street, which forms the side of a fell
into the valley beneath. The trees now stand
with the roots uppermost, and the whole gives
the appearance of an earthquake. Luckily this
immense mass of earth fell hi the night, or serious
accidents might have ensued.; the pig-sties and
out-offices at the back of , Bosher's-square are
buried, and some pigs killed. The moving mass
was stopped by. the dwelling-houses in the square,
the doors of which were forced open by the
shock.—( Bath Journal.) .
On Sunday a Lady in the Steeple Chu'ch had
her pocket cut while standing among the people
at the entrance to the tables where the Lord's
Supper was administered. The unprincipled
vagabond was, however, deprived of reward, for
the Lady missed nothing from her pocket.— (Dun-
dee Advertiser.)
