Mr. Ellis intimated that, according, to the present state of the
accounts, therdebas due by the partnership, appeared to amount to
£495,000. The .assets were £400,000 ;so that there was the
pleasing idea that every creditor would obtain 15s. in the pound,

' An elderly man, named afar& TanNtra, was brought into th.
Office by two of the Bow-street patrol, for having exhibited se
Park-lane a large placard, on which was painted, in large charac.
tel 6, " A Letter to his Majesty, complajoing of the present Go:er/!.
meta, and praying a Reform. This attfficted a great crowd of de; .
sons, and he was canvassing to dispose of copies of it in a small
book, accompanied with what he termed evidences taken from the
Old and New Tenement, and the Psalms, when he was taken
custody. The Magistrate asked him what he intended doing hy
exhibiting the long rhaps.ixly as contained In the' placard? Tanners
said it would make every man look into his Bible. The present
Government was established on a good foundation, but its
ten required reformation. Men (he added) have a right tow, whr.
they like by the law of the Holy Ghost ; that is, The pos.v..r of the
Sceptre. A man must be arrested, persecuted, and taken r .
" Carry me there," be said, " and I must then be heart." The
poor man, who seemed disordered in his mind, ran on in this strain
a considerable titre, and did not -fail to extol his placard, ard to re.
present the necessity of a Munn in Government, which could i.e
accomplished br a strict adherence to the Scriptures.

upon a charge of a similar nature, were brought to the office: by the
officer, of the Itlendicity Society, charged with obtaining more;
under false pretences, by sending begging letter's and petitions to
various Noblemen and Ladies of rank.

One of the Managers of the Society stated that the prisoners were
apprehended that morning, under the following circumstances:—
On the 423 d of this month the Society received a letter from Hari
Spencer, inclosing the letter and petition now produced, which his
Lordship referred to them to have inquiries made respecting the
writers, as he had sense reason to suspect that they contained ficti-
tious statements.
The whole of the statements contained in the letter and petition
were found to be a fabrication.

The mate prisoner said that he knew nothing whatever about the
bosinesss and the woman said that she merely represented herNeif
to be Ann Morgan, because she was sent by another person to an-
ply for the letter in that name.
The prisoners were remanded, as the :Vagistrate expressed a wish
for the attendance of Ball Spencer, which he considered ilecesasr-
to making out &complete case against the prisoners, his Lord.hip
being at present in town. Betts has been a hair-dresser, resijing

for him," and called out with Stentorian vehemence,
" Silence!" The audience was astonished, few knOw-
ing the quarter. from • which the previous noise pro:.
cteilled ; but Mr. TERRY came to the front of the stage,
and in a few words explained the cause of his inadver-
