According to an Official Return made by the Bank
of England in 1824, the number of persons holding
funded pro,.erty (or in other words, creditors of Eng-
land) was (al round numbers) 288,000. Of these, the

Talking of American liberality to English actors, one
said, " Why, the bait must ire tempting, for I find
YATES has taken it."—" That cannot he, said 1, " for
he's making a good thing here."—" Yon may depend
upon it," he replied he, " for I met him on his way to
Adelphi this evening.--1 he Ass.
COMPOsITiON OE A BANKRUTF —A chive in the
new Bankrupt Act provides, "that afer a bankrupt has
passed his last examination, he may cal his creditors
together, and offer them a censposition in discharge of
their debts ; when, if lie can induce nine-tenths of those
who attend at that meeting,and anther to be held in not
less than 21 days, to accept such composition, the Loam
CHANCELLOR is empowered to supersede the Commis-
sion." According to the Bill now before Parliament for
altering the Law of Debtor and Creditor, " the majo:
rity of the creditors or any insolvent merchant,. trader,
or individual, are to be at lherty to make a compromise
with him, and the conseu.t and signatures of such ma-
jority of his creditors will be rendered binding on the
minority; and in this way merchants will be, left a;
liberty to regulate their own concerns, reference to
the C-rirts of Law being always open, to prevent hand

NEWMARKET SECOSECOND SPRING MEETING.
Nawat►aiei, Sr:lmq Artiantion.
The second and last of the Spring Meetings commences to
morrow, and notwithstanding it will not bring forward so many of
the favourites for the Epsom stakes as the preceding ones have done,
good sport and a numerous and fashionable attendance is looked for
with confidence. The races are expected to finish on Thursday
(a day sooner than usual) in mitt that those Noblemen and Gentle-
men who intend to visit it may have time to reach York for the
great Spring Meeting, which begins on the 15t1 , and which will
have as nitwit influence oe the betting for the great Doncaster St.
Leger stakes as the late Newmarket races have had on the Derby
and Oaks.

bility are here, and the servants and saddle horses of others. The
lodgings are mostly engaged.

King's palace in his travelling carriage and four ; after visiting his
stables his Royal Highness dined with Mr. Douglas at his apart-

there were a great number of horses our taking their exercises,
nearly all•of them appearing in good racing condition.
