NEW INSOLVEN, DEBTORS' Colin -R.—Wednesday so me
Gentlemen connected with the Board of Works waited
on the Learned Commissioners at Guildhall. Westmin-
ster, with a model of the internal fittings designed' for
the New Court, lately erected in Lincoln's Inn-fields.
The Gentlemen of the Bar were requested to attend •the
inspection. The New Court will be opened after the
approaching Recess, and thereby the public will be,
spated the inconvenience which, for several years, has'
been a just matter of complaint. It is expected that the
Court will adjourn its sittings to-morrow until the 4th
of October next.

A pugilistic turn•up, in which -the spectators felt
much delight, took place on Thursday afternoon in the
Strand. A brute driving a coal-waggon, followed by
one of his companion,, seemingly drunk, amused them-
selves by behaving most indecently to females ; and the
better they were attired, the more were they the objects
of attack. A Gentleman following, whose name was
stated to ki'e. Webber, remonstrated with the fellow, and
in return he was assailed by a push off the pavement.
Indignant at the assault the Gentleman gave the ruffian
a flouter,
,and was then attacked by the other felloW.
The populace saw fair play, and the driver soon got a
quantum siffcit ; and having disposed of one in a couple
of rounds, he turned-to at the other, and soon finished
him, to the admiration of all present.
HIGHWAY ROBSGRY.—Friday night last, a little:be-
fore nine o'clock, Mr. Francisco Arnaboldi, a travelling
jeweller of Newcastle, was attacked near Walbottle,
four footpads. They robbed him of all his goods,
valued at 2001. and of money about 171.—The villains,
after having knocked him down, tied his handkerchief
over his eyes, and corded both his hands and feet in
such a manner that he could neither make resistance
nor escape. They also stuffed his mouth with hair, and
tied his neckcloth above that. Two of the men Hal with
the box, and two stood over him for some time. While
so standing, one proposed to put a knife into his breast,"
which the other opposed by observing, " No, no, he
has a wife at Newcastle."—The two villains then took
him into an adjoining field, and laid him behind a hay-
stack, where he was discovered between four and five
on Saturday morning, in a most pitiable condition.
His box was found in a corn-field on Sunday, emptied
of its contents.—Three men are in custody on suspicion.
BIGGLESWADE, Auo. 15.—Last week, as some work-
men in the employ of John Day, Esq. were digging the
foundation of a farm-house near Biggleswade, they sud-
denly struck upon something hard, which, upon inves-
tigation, proved to be a helmet of most exquisite work-
manship. Mr. Day fortunately being present, great
care was taken not to injure it by removal. After the
earth had been partially cleared away, they discovered
some human bones, this induced them to make further
search, and shortly after they turned up a ponderous
metallic substance of an oval form, like a shield ; a few
inches lower they found more human bones, and before
night, when the whole was cleared away, they distinctly
made out the skeletons of a man and horse ; the man.
appeared to have been clothed in a complete suit of ar-
mour, which was nearly perfect, though somewhat dis-
jointed. He appeared to have been of gigantic stature;
the sword, which was very ponderous, lay at the feet of
the horse. On the following morning, whilst pursuing
their occupation, the workmen discovered some other
skeletons of men and horses, all standing in an erect
position, clothed in armour, and nearly as perfect IP the
first which was discovered.
