WAS a referred ease, subject to the award of the
Hon. Thomas Erskine, the son of the late Lord Chan.
cellor of that name. There were three sirers, the
relatives of Captain Swaine, who it was alleged had
been illegally confined in a lunatic asylum, they being
of sane mind at the time, arid that this was done by the
defendant, who held consider able property in his hands
belonging to these young ladies. A host of witnesses
were examioed on b sides. There was something
eccentric in th. it appearance; they were always clean,
dec-nt, and respectable; but in consequence of their
having but 6s. 3d. per week each, to 'Novick themselves
with food, clothing, !noise rent, &c. they could not
appear in that sphere of ltf. to which in their younger
days they had bee:t accustomed. On account of this
they were judged insane! Dr. Fowler considered that,
singularity was no proof of insanity, and that from all!
that he had seen of the young Ladies, his conviction
was that they were of Sane mind.
At., the Liverpool Insolvent Debtors' Court, a fort.
night ago, Mr. REYNOLDS. the Chief Commissioner, in
addressing a prisoner, mentioned the difference between
a debtor's discharge under the Insolvent Act, and under
a commission of bankrupt. Tile great difference, said
he, between bAnkruptcy and insolvorcy is this:—lf a
bankrupt receive his certificate, he is lor ever discharged
from all his debts; but an insolvent, when discharged,
contracts, at the very instant of his dischar;e, a liability
to pay the debt, by a solemn instrument, which he signs,
and which the creditors have the power of enforcing
for ever a ter. There have, within my knowledge, Leen
many instances in which debts have been paid to the
creditors of iasolvents, without their ever appearing in
Court. The insolvent, although discharged by due pro-
cess of law, when no fraud has been proved against
him, is still liable, until the latest period of his life, to
pay his debts in full; and creditors have a right to en.
farce the payment, if ever the insolvent should have it
in his power, in future life, to liquidate their just claims,
by bringing, him up again from time to time before the
Court, which will judge whether he is, or is not, able
to pay his debts out of his then property.
Thursday seinnight, at Worcester House of Indusry, a
person- offered cheese for s ile at 40s. per cwt. and one
of the directors was so well pleased wilt it, that 6 cwt.
was ordered for the use of the House; but, after the
o:der was given, the price appeared so law for cheese
of such good quality, that the director de,ired to have
another taste; the dealer was about to give him a sam-
ple from the same side as before, but being desired to
give a taste from the other si.'e, it proved that the
cheese was of a very inlet ior quality, and that the kna-
vish dealer had inoculated it with a portion of fine old
Cheshire cheese.

The Dissenters waited upon Lord TituaLow by ap-
pointment, to request his vote for the repeal of the Test
Act. Afier he had heard their sentiments in a long ha-
rangue, with more than his ordinary patience, when the
speech was concluded, lie thus addressed them : " Gen-
tlemes, you have requeste.i me to vote for the repeal of
the Test Act. I shall nut vote for it. Ido not care
whither your religion or mine has.the ascendancy, or
whether any religion or none; but as I know when you
were uppermost you kept us down ; so now that we are
uppermost, we will, by the help of GOD, keep you m here
you are.''—Margravine of Anspach's Memoirs.
