The Times thus lectures the Duke of Buckingham and
the Aylesbury Association :--" They ought to be made
aware that they have not yet experienced the full
force of the feeling which exists against the pro-
tective laws. Many persons, with ourselves, nave
hesitated to express their views in this respect, in
their entire strength, from unwillingness to dis-
turb the unanimity of the Conservative party.
But if it is found that by the act of the agricultural
party that union can be no longer preserved, those who
at present hold back will no longer have any reason for
suppressing their entire opinions, and Sir Robert Peel
will then perhaps find, even among his own friends and
supporters, a pressure for further concession, which will
be, at least, as likely to be effectual in increasing, as
the farmers' movement in preventing, what has been
already promised."

NSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)

RE THOMAS RUCILTON.

The insolvent, who described himself as a japanner, carrying on
business in Castle-street, Leicester-square, applied on his petition to
be discharged.

Mr. COOKE, who appeared on behalf of the insolvent, stated in
explanation of a large debt which appeared in his schedule as due
to Messrs. Jackson and Graham, that the insolvent's trade required
the use of large quantities of combustible matter, and some short
time back his house was burnt to the ground. Not being insured,
he was left almost pennyless, when the Duke of Portland very
kindly presented him with 1501, to help in rebuilding the house;
and Messrs. Jackson and Graham advanced him the ba.
lance necessary for the purpose, taking a warrant of
attorney on the lease of the site of the house. Un-
fortunately just as the building was finished, it was again burnt
down, and Messrs. Jackson and Co. levied judgment and sold the
lease for a sum far less than the amount of their debt.

Mr. Commissioner Harms said he was perfectly satisfied with
the state of the insolvent's accounts, as described in his balance
sheet, and he should consequently order him to be discharged
forth with.

LAVST IN rfkLLIGENCE Chapman Harrison asked similar questions, and said that they
• had been dining out with a party, and it was probable it might
have been some of the party, but certainly it was not themselves.
Mr. BALLANTINE said Price had again convicted himself; and as
it was his duty to protect the public from such &Predations, he
should floe Chapman Harrison 5/. for having unlawful possession
of the knockers, and should require Thomas Price and George
Michael Harrrison to find sufficient sureties for theirgood behaviour

for six months.
The fine having teen paid, and the required sureties entered into,
the young men were allowed to depart In the care of their friends.
