Yesterday the favourite and fashionable rendezvous
in Hyde Park was crowded to excess by persons till
distinction. A double row of carriages, displaying
the most brilli.:nt liveries,
.gave lite.and.spirit to the!
sten.% The weather was uncommonly tassolitrable,
for the season, and the proreena2e. on Otis ()Cession
s•:as considered the most elegant oilany observed this
year. The Grand Duke NICHOLAP rode alseautiful
se.d spirited horse, 41nd attraved the. general gaze oil
theisedrstrians. He was accompanied by the Duke
of Devtesstio.t, and all the dashinellt?rsemen in the
Park. The Marchioness of HiCADFORT lend the AN-'
catgut.* family, made a most superb ancrrliliant al.
penance. The Ladies ELLetssoatioutt, 'tile Mors-
s mos, the, Durliess of Leeds, acd other constant
visitors on the proxemir, contributed greatly to the
pleasing coup We have seldom seen a more
numerous and tr,tly genteel assemblage than the
w.lkihg place presented. The green spite Irom the
lliding-IyAse to the Piccadilly entrarrce of the Park
was tridd.n by groups of welt-dressed females ;
grace and beauty were every where ennspo uous Th.:
newest hots were lawn colour bi.ver, trimmed with
rose ribbon; and plumes of white icALllel s. Grey
cloth pet with broad fur at I..itton., forming
black and white Vandyke), were much worn. One
Lady wore a beautiful white silk pelisse, trimmed
round the bottom, sleeves, and up the front, with
black Martin fur of considerable value. The contrast
was pechli lily striking, and a black Spanish. hat,
turned up in front with a gold button and drooping
white feather, produced a striking effect. This Lady
wits a Polish Countess. The general spectacle, on
the whole, gave promise if a speedy return of the
high life, beauty and gaiety, which adorn the metro-
polis in summer. AR the people of distinction in
tour. were seen in the Park and its environs.

INSOLIWNT ,DVlrOltir,Cot,pl .

Saturday there were 0 primen dabbed their
discharge, some of whom IYAN•dischArged wilbOat
oppositinn.—W. Nichol* applied* his discharge. but.,
was opp ,sed on the ground that he had about a year
since been before the Coutt, and then remanded for
a col!mite arrefitrige balled out that action, and on'
' Saturday claimed life discharge upon a new petition.
The. pour' was of opinion, that it was a gross fraud
upon it ; and the Leaned Serjeant dismissed his pe-
utiun.

C. 7: Hall, a Lieutenant upon baffle:. in the 35th
regiment of foot, was opposed by Mr. l'oLLoce, on
the onthority of the last new Act, .for hiving Con-
tracted,. debts without. any ,visible means of being
able to discharge the same. The amount of the in-
solvent's debts, as set forth in tEi schedule, was
04661 ; but it appeared on ekaminatihn, that 'many
of them eere,debts due tohis relations, who bad ad.
vancetl bins a number of sums of money, without ex
peciing that they should be tepid, which reduced
hisiaaa.fide debts to a sum under se7(X). He admit-
ted, in Inc course of his examination by the Court
ai.d Counsel, that he had gone to France in the sum-
mi-r of tP,e year 1816, and had spent there ‘21.10;—
be had also been at Brighton and Margate, and
had kept horses and a chaise there.
Mr. Setjeant RUNNINOTON said the insolvent had
maiii;atted much imprudence and extravagance, yet
he had nut gone so far as to render himself ame-
.nable to the Act, by contracting debts without any
visible means of paying them.; nor could he say that
he had been guilty of any gross injustice to his cre-
ditors. He, therefore, thought that he was entitled
to his aischaige, which wab•immediately granted.
