Of forty-five days at one place, the mean heat was at
122 degrees of Reaumur.. On the high grounds the

temperature was greater.
46 Two military posts have been left on the Matra,
the principal one at about eleven leagues from the
mouth, and the second at seven leagues. Light barks
can sail up to the former, but vessels of large con-
struction can proceed as far as the latter. This place is
recommended for the establishment of the Colony."
The labours of the Commission terminated on the
25th of December last, and the results are said to be
satisfactory; thnugh some regret is expressed in the
Report that the Commission had not been able to
penetrate farther into the interior of the country.
In a dispatch from the Governor of Cayenne, much
praise is bestowed on the Commission, and the coun-
try which they explored is said to be very favourable
to population and industry. However, he does not
conceal the inconveniencies of the climate, but says
that they might be lessened by means of proper pre-
cautions. He recommends that the new Colony
should be entirely separated from the old.

LAP' INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF XING% BENCH, JULY 9.
THE RING V. STEPHEN SPAIN.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL prayed judgment on this
defendant, who, in consequence of not appearing on
his name being called over by the Officer of the
Court, was declared to have forfeited las recogni-
zance, and the forfeiture was accordingly ordered to
be recorded.

THE KING V. NATHANIEL RATS.
This defendant, having been convicted of smug-
gling, was brought up for judgment, on the motion
of the SOLICITOR-Gassam., who suggested that the
defendant had travelled a great distance to receive
their Lordships' judgment, and that there was every
disposition on the part of the Crown to treat him with
lenity and forbearance.

The Count told the defendant, that in consequence
of the suggestion of the Solicitor-General, they would
not pass any judgment on him, but would hold him,
bound in his own recognizance, to appear when
called on, which would not happen while he con-
ducted himself well.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

UNQUALIFIED ATTORNIES.--111 the Sittings of the
Court, yesterday morning, the CHIEF CommissiowEa
spoke to the following effect :—" The Court takes
the earliest opportunity of promulgating a Rule re-
specting the practice of this Court, which we have
unanimously agreed upon. We have long seen with
regret, and with feelings beyond regret, the very cul-
pable neglect of Attornies who practice in it. I do
nor, of course, mean all the Attornies who practice in
this Court, but those who so greatly neglect the busi-
ness of their clients as to leave it in the bandsof their
clef ks, or even of those who are not their clerks, but
to whom we greatly suspect they delegate the pryer
to act in their names. Had any evidence been brought
before us, substantiating the fact we suspect to exist,
the person so offending would certainly be suspended
from acting in this Court. Every Attorney who has
been guilty of this practice has been degrading the
profession to which he belongs, and acting in direct
opposition to the rules by which he was appointed to
practice in the Court. We feel it our duty to inter-
fere to stop a growing evil, for which purpose we hope
the Rule we have agreed on will be effectual."

The Learned COMMISSIONER thln read the Rule,
which is to the following effect:
" That from and after the 20th day of July instant, every
schedule and balance-sheet shall be attested and signed by the
Attorney acting for any Insolvent who may apply for relief, and
not by any Clerk. But If such Attorney should be absent from
town, or prevented by any reasonable cause from making such
attestation, then in such case other of the Attornies of the Court
may attest the same."

The COURT lately observed, that it was fearful that
Creditors were often deterred from accepting the
office of Assignee, on the fallacious supposition that
they would be at a great expense. The Court wished
it to be known generally, that the taking out the
assignment was only seven shillings and sixpenee ; and
further, that all reasonable expenses incurred subse-
quently would be paid out of such property as might
fall into their hands.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.-Last night the Opera of
Rob Roy was performed at this Theatre. The Charac-
ters of the Piece are well cast. Mr. COOPER was an
able representative of the outlawed Chief. Mad. VES•
TR IS and Mr. HORN, in the characters Diana Vernon
and Frank Osbaldiston, sang some duets very sweetly.
Mr. MACKAY, in Baillie Aka Jamie, afforded a rich
treat to the lovers of genuine humour. Mrs. EGER..
TON played Helen Macgregor with her usual excel-
lence. The Opera is very well got up, and was re-
ceived with great applause by a fashionable audience.
At the fall of the curtain, Mr. COOPER came forward,
and announced the entertainments for this evening,
by special desire and under the patronage of her MA-
, JUTE. This announcement was received with plaudits.

SADLER'S WELLS.—This Theatre is most fashion-
ably crowded nightly to witness the representation of
The Heart of Hid-Lothian, in which Mrs. EGERTON
sustains her original character of Madge Wildfire,
with a degree of talent seldom beheld upon the
boards of a minor establishment.

COBURO THEATRE.—Last night, an interesting
Melo-drama, taken from the French, entitled. The
Orphan Soldier, was produced for the first time,
which met with a very favourable reception. The
historical Melo-drama of William Tell, which fol-
lowed, continues to be very attractive. The House
is crowded every evening with fashionable audiences.
DREADFUL Acctozwr.—Yesterday afternoon, a
calamitous accident happened at the manufactory
of Mr. CUBITT, builder, Gray's-inn-lane-road, by the
explosion of a quantity of strong varnish, used in
polishing mahogany. One nun (the foreman) named
Forester, was killed on the spot, and three others
were carried to the hospital so much injured as to
make it doubtful whether they will recover. The
boiler being on a fire in the workshop, where the
men were at work, it boiled over, and having com-
municated its contents to the fire, the whole instantly
ignited, with an explosion resembling that of a piece
of ordnance.

Monday se'nnight, while several youths were di-
verting themselves at the mouth of an old coal-pit, in
the immediate vicinity of the village of Wishaw New-
town, one of the boys threw his companion's bonnet
into the pit, which the other insisted he should go
down for; this was acceded to by the lad (William
Sommers, a boy about 10 years of age), who attempted
to effect his purpose by means of a tree which had
been placed in the pit, and by which it was common
for the boys to descend on former occasions ; but,
unfortunately, on-this occasion he had not descended
many feet when he lost his hold and was precipitated
to the bottom. James Hamilton, a mason, who hap-
pened to be near the spot, immediately volunteered
to rescue the boy, and for that purpose a rope was
fastened round one of his thighs, by which he was to
be let down, and drawn up if he felt the effects of
what is called foul air ; he was scarcely six feet down
when he attempted to cry out, but instantly fell back-
wards, and was drawn to the mouth of the pit appa-
sendy lifeless. Medical aid being procured, and the
necessary means used, animation was with great dif-
ficulty restored, and he is now in a fair way of reco-
very. The body of the boy Sommers was afterwards
dragged up, but quite lifeless, his body bearing much
the appearance of those who are killed by lightning.
