training.

few buyers.

THE Panic—Hyde Perk was yesterday at-
tended by a more fashionable assemblage, than On
any day since the summer; and 'the presence of
his Grace th,e Doke of WELLINGTON added not a
little to the interest of the scene. The atmos-
phere was serene from noon till four o'clock,
when the sun shone forth- with all the warmth
of a spring day. The equipages were numerous,
landaus, landaulets, curricles, tilhories, and den-
nets. Opposite Apslcy House the rebid, s we:4>
drawn up in line, three and four deep. In -tLe
female costume furs iwere generally introduced,
in muffs and tippets of sable. The pelisses were
all trimmed in rho same style, and boots of sable
or black kerseymere, and fringed with the sante
material. Every one was gratified to see how
well the Illustrious'Hero looked.

NAVAL. MONUMENT.--The public having taken
more than an ordinary degree of interest in the •
Monument to be erected by the naval and ma-
rine services to the memoty of the late Lord
Viscount MELVILLE, it will, permits, he grati.
tying to them to learn that the Committee have
resolved to adopt the much-admired and justly
celebrated Pillar of Trajan, one of the most ap-
proved relics of antiquity (or a pillar modelled titlota
it), and to surmount it with a colossal statue of
the late Lord MELVILLE. Saint Andrew's-square,
having here suggested as a very eligible-and ap- •
propriaie site for some such chaste and simple
structure, application is, we understand, about
to he- made to the proprietors for permission
to rear this pillar in the centre of that e!egant
Square, to which, as well as to the metropolis in
general, it cannot fail, to prove highly orna-
mental.—(Edinburgh Courant.)
HORRIBLE EVENT.—A frightful catastrophe has
taken place in the Department of the Yonne
Mr. B--, the husband of a young and hean•
Mill wife, whom he had married at Naples, inha-
bited a hamlet of the Canton of Seignelay. On the
4th instant he was found dead, by the shot of a
fusil. The piece was lying at his feet ; near him
was the embalmed body of a child whom he bad
loSt two years ago. His young companion like-
wise killed by a fusil, was lying on her.back
with a strangled infant in her arms. Many con-
jectures are -hazarded, about this horrible event.
The general opinion attributes it to despair, the
consequence of- misfortunes in which' the un-
happy couple were involved.— (Paris Paper.) •
Mußpen AT HORNSEY.—Y, sterday a private,
just discharged from the Coldstream Regiment of
Guards, repaired to Hattori-garden Office, wlser
he stated, that, upon his discharge, he happened
to meet•with two soldiers, who had belonged to
the 18th Light Dragoon*, and were hound, like
himself, tpr Nottingb4m, their native place,
where they agreed to keep company on their way
homewards. They, however, staid a couple of
nights in town, then agreed to decamp at dusk,
disguising thembelves, and to rob the very first
traveller they' chanced to meet with, or, if ne-
cessary, to murder 'inn.' Informant was then in-
ebriated. But he began to reflect as they pro-
ceeded on their way, when, finding that he hesi-
tated, his companioars beat intotmant so rinmer-
citully, that he was lett behind for dead, in which,
condition he was shorrlv found. eircurbs:auces
were adduced to. prove that this happened ion the
very day Mr. Taylor was rubbed •and murdered.

FOR THE SUN.

ON INSOLVENI AGENTS.

MR. EDITOR,—I am a hackney writer by the
dozen. My hither awl Mother made a f7re.[.t ne,isa
in the wiirld; tnr one beat a drnm, atid,the other
cried oysters titkitig care that I should react and
Write, which I now can do in pretty pod L,;14.
; but I never presume to tag a line with in- '

applicable scraps of Greek and Latin, and, if I
could, I should dikiain it on so low a subject
:is an Insolvent Debtor. I verily believe, there-
fore, that you print SCRUTATOECS 4. roundabouts
more out of respect to •he man than his letters.

He has called iip4m ATTORNATUS for illumina-
tion, who has covered him with darkness visible,
by stating the ease of a' rascal in Exeter, which
has nothing at all to do %vitt) the conduct of the
Agents for Insolvi!nt Debtors in bondon. Yet
SCRUTATOR and his jackal! would infer that they
are •all rateals alike, and that none but enrolled
Attornies, whether equally so, or not, ought to
fill np papers printed in blank, such as notices,
advertiseMents, tchedulei, &c. for imprisoned
debtors. Give me leave, Sir, to say that such pre
cions nonsense deserves censure, if not contempt.

My father, though formerly a drummer, anti
might have had a halbert, has, since be quitted
the set vice, been employed in our office. He
writes a good hand, and very fast. He oc-

casionally attends the prisons, to pick up an
honest pound, and often helps an honest pau-
per to his discharge under the Act, and so do
others, with unimpeached characters ; thOugh
SCHUTATOR diverts himself, in setting them down
as a gang of dirty blackguards, for which he
ought to he ashamed; and if he do not cease his
inuendo libels upon them,- 1 will address him in
p.rson, on your information, of who and what he
is, and at what number in Wine Office-court he
lodges. This will bring him to the point, which
he has hitherto avoided, with those who have
completely and severely answered him.
