INSOLVENT DEBTORS.—The 6azett: of Saturday
contains the following Notice hum the Court of Re-
lief to Insolvent Debtors:
" As the Quarter Sessions for the 'several Counties are about
to commence, and the shortness of the time rendering it impos-
sible for the Commissioner of the Court for Relief of losolvent
Debtors to enter Into any isorrc•pondence with the Magistrates
of the different Caustics, respecting Prisoners who may apply
to the Court for relief under the late Insolvent Art; it is re-
quested that the Magistrates of the several Counties will make
adjournments of their-Quarter Sessions lions time to time, to
'enable the Conunissioner to make such orders for the examina-
tion by them of prisoners taking relief under the said Act, as
shad from time to time be necessary."

It is stated, that the General Insolvent Act has
been found so very inefficient, that Mr. Serjeant PAL-
sign, the Com Missioner appointed, intends sabniitting
his objections to the opinien of the Judges, and, no
doubt, an Act to explain and amend some of the
clauses will be necessary before it can be enforced.—
A s the Act stands at present, no place for holding the
Court, or fixing the salaries of any officer of the
Court, is mentioned, and there is no proper authority
fLir administering the necessary oaths.

The extraordinary interest which attaches to the
several Notions at War, must render some acquaint.
ance with the History of each, extremely desirable..
Sitsuwoon, NEELY, and Jam, have endeavoured to
meet the public curiosity, in rendering Dr. Mayor's
Histories peculiarly interesting, by having brought
them down to the present peiioJ. Whether their
comprehensiveness, their cheapness, or their portable.
term be considered; they are particularly entitled to
attention. They are illustrated by correct Maps, and

DREADFUL FIRE.—A shocking fire brokessat at
half past eleven o'cloCk, on Sat&day titan, in the
extensive farm-yard bOongirrg to T. nib Egg. at
Orpington, in the county of Kenr,dbOut fot r miles
fromChislehurst. The flames were first discovered
by the night- patrole on the road, issuing from several.
ricks of hay. The watch Man immediately gave an
tilarm, land fAtunately with the assistance of several.
of the neigitbouring gentry, sneer:tied in awakening
the-family of Mr. di,ggs, and rescuing them from
their perilous situation. The flames soon afterwards
caught the barns, where Large quantities of hay,
straw, &c. were deposited, besides several other ad-
joining buildings ; and at one.time-, the whole yard,
containing sixteen ricks-of hay, straw, corn, &c. &c.
were in one crtainued blase, which made a grand
but terrific appearance.. The atmosphere was com-
pletely illuminated, and the Satious fire-engines, from
their different stations, throughout the metropolis,
were put in requisition, and proceeded in the direc-
tion of the fire, many of them on arriving at the turn-
pike in the Lower Road, Deptford. not being able
to go any farther, put up their horses, and several of
the firemen went on to the fire. The fire had been
burning upwards of two hours before any assistance
could be procured, and consequently had got so much
a-head as to preclude all possibility of extinguishing
it. Fortunately, by the exertions of the firemen and
others, the dwelling-house was preserved from de-
struction. The several volunteer corps from Lewis-
ham, Bromley, &c. &c. were extremely active on this
occasion in protecting the property of the inhabitants
in the adjoining buildings, which was laid out in the
road. The fire was burning the whole of yesterday,
and the loss is estimated at upwards of irio,ooo.
is pleasing to add, that no lives werelOst.
About eleven o'clock on Friday night a fire broke
out in the offiee of Mr. Phillips, an attorney, in East-
street, Red Lion-square, which burned with great
fury for near an hour. The whole of the office was
destroyed, but many valuable deeds and papers were
preserved through the vigilance of the firemen. The
accident is said to have occurred in consequence of a
lighted candle having been left on the desk, the snuff
of which fell among some papers.
