Saturday, Sir Matthew Illocatn was wrain itronglit
ui► to heard on his petition to he diseharßed.
long report f►um Mr. Dance, provisintial assignee, to
whotu the Court had referred the insolvent's schedule
for reat;lination, was read, which stated that the i•:
solvent had !wen arrested in the mouth of May, 14 i:••;,•
at the suit of Messrs. Pickford and Co. for the sum of
3,1100/. sin which occasion a consproasi.e was made be-
tween the parties, by which llessrs. rte.:ford and
agossaismlt Solm Amanda of SIMS/is fts,ll-,satiafaetiou_sal,
their demand, for which sum Sir Mathew Miriam
passed his own notes, which were paid as they became
floe, to the amount of .1001. Messrs. Pirkford, the
report •tatrd, now claimed to be a knitted creditors for
the hal once of their original debt of 3,itoiot. instead of
'the balance of the composition of itsll/. for whi••h Sir
Mathew Itlo•um had returned thcm creditors in hi-
selsedule. The report also atated that chin.. hail been
made by a number of other creditors, who hail in like
manner agreed to take a composition on their debts
from the insolvent, to have his achednle a:molded 1)1;-
th* insrr ' of the fall amount of the debts due to
them respectively.
Mr. HRATII, on the part of the insolvent, stated that
Sir Matthew Illosam conceived that, in jnstice to his
other creditors, he could not return the debts sine to
his opposing creditors for larger snots than they had
agreed to take, and submitted that the Conn would
Not refuse his discharge for deelininir to do an act of
which hissonseience could sot approve.
The Conn decided that Sir Matthew Illoxsus should
enter in his achmlnle tbe full sums slur to his credi-
tors, stating what part of each he disputed.
Mr. At►ui.ruce opposed the insolvents (Us:4lml-, on
the part of the assignees of John Morgan and Co. to
whose estate Sir 3lattliew Illusam was indebted in the
sum of 4,9701. Ile stated that, after Sir .slatthew

his credit with his bankers; that in the va.,tlth of Jimmie

tion, gave the insolvent bills to get discount• to the

cheeks on his hankers in th t usual manner, which were
only to the amount of UlOl. in consequence of which
Morgan and Co. became insetkrupta. Mr. A•lolphus
proceeded to state that 31orgait'ss assignees arrested Co.
insolvent, on which occasion he fully admitted the justice
of !!organ's chum, lout hail since filed a bill in the Ex-
(+miner, au•l procured an injunction to stay their pro-
ceedings. Mr..ttlotpletts now submitted to the Court
whether Sir Mathew had not, by the conduct be had
stated, been guilty of having violated the enact-
ments of the insolvent act, and thereby 11hr:willed
himself to the relief under it for wide t he Frayed, in-
at 1111 l els as he. had contracted those several debts to
Morgau and Co. at a time wham he ba•l no means of
paying ; for it was no answer, Mr. Adolphus submit-
ted, to tills objection, to say that Sir Mathew Ultmant,
at the time of contracting those debts, had a number
of debts slue to him, as it was evisicat he statt•t have
known that his debtors were insolvent; 4nel his having
filed a hill in minify against 4torgan and Co., after be
had fully a•lanitted the isstice of their claim, was put-
ting his c editors to unnecessary expense, contrary to

I'RICE SRVIS Priveß,

an express clause in the art. Mr. Adolphus also
stated that he was instructed to submit to the Court
that Sir Matthew Bloxam's captures had been too
large, and that he had an appointment under (loves 0-
went of tire-value of 400/. ; and that if the Court
'boothd think him entitled to the benefit of the act,
juittice required that some part of the income derived
fro this source should be assigned to his ererli:ori.
Mr. Alligitius, with great feeling, added, that, in
estintatliatalse rate of maintenance that should be :al-
lowed air Matthew liloxam, he thought it but reason-
able that cigars! should he had to his fortstrw hahits
and associations ; and, fur Isis part, he *Mike never
conld- swish that a person who had heen used to a
plentiffpl table should he brought to the alms-basket.
When :tor:Adolphus concluded, the Court inquired
whether his evidence would in any point exceed
statement. Mr. Adolphus replied, that he had stated
his clients' case with every feeling of consideration
for the Inanlrent• %Tr was net aware that be hail
omitted any material too. The Coon hiOdycompli:

contracting those debts, knew that he had not any

vet, asan Djlllt. • i.. 11 had been granted, anal was not
dissident, it was impossible fur this Court to say that
it Was so. '•
Nlr. litiLLANTtNt oppt set the insolvert's dist-harge
on the part of Maoism Pickford and Co. and pot-
witted that, if the Court should be of opinion that
the foie he had to state were not sudicient to deprive
the insolvent of any relief Cons the act, yet if the',
aniostuted to proof of general anise Int; by obirh
his creditor. had been injured, it woold remain in tht
di•cretion of the Court either to grant him that relief
at presets', or in six months to come. He then stated',
that the insolvent beiog employed by Messrs. Pick-
furl anal Co. as a bill-broker, 11,:s1 applied flu. pr.',
reet'.l of their bills to his own use, and had be..saate
intielsted to them in a sum of upwaris of 3,000/. for
which he was arrested at their snit ; after which they
aereed to take a peissation of !sant/. itt full pay-
ment, fur which sum the insolvent gave his own
not• s, payable at disierent dates, from rue to sit
rumba; and at the sante :hist unite Messrs. ['Wailed
a letter, stating that he was soon to receive a sum of
money front the 'I reaputv, and promising, if he re-
velvets it, to pay Mes:irs. l'ickfrd out of it. Mr. Hal-
'lantine stated, that the ittsolvent received this mosey
in shout ten days after giving this promise, and Mgt
he did not pay Messrs. Pickford any part of it; bat

The Co.•itr said that Messrs. Piekford and Co. hay-
ing entered into a com:tosition with the insolrent for
that part of the proceeds of their bills whieo he had
applied to his own use, had traced any right to have
his romluct in tho4e trausoetions regarded as fraudu-
lent by the Court and til‘n raid that the fact of the
insolveot having: re,:o.%ed notney from the Treasury
soon after he hm,l entered in!e the composition with
Messrs. l'ickford showed that he had then reasons to
expert it ; and as he Intl paid some of his notes as
they heroine due, the Court must snppose that he in-
tended to pay the rattle, anal rt ttlil not pronounce

h.. 4001:/, GALA'.
From the Win:. im (s. r.) Inteltlseucrr. 4 •ptember 13.

on the ll!th inst. we were visited by the most de-
structive and violent gale of wind which ever oc-
curred within the memory of our oldest inhabitants.
Some of our streets are r,ntleretl almost impassible by
the many trees which are lying prostrate, and the
mails rata neither arrive here nor depart, so geuerally
are the bridges washed away. The gale at North-
I Inlet was preceded by a great prevalence of easterly
and N.E. ; lut on the 11.41 i the wind blew
tempestuottsly all slay, fluctuating Iwt• ern the.points
E.N.E. and N.E. ; lost more generally blowing from
the N.E. About sus set the scene became truly
awful, the wind increasing in violence, aod the
title aiming with frixittaul ittapetnosity. At shunt
thi• period the Church was blown from i a fontn
dation, and many of the inhabitsids were seen remora
ing from such houses as appeared most exposed to the
clangers of the tide and wind. After dark, the gale
I continued to increase, and by 10 or I 1 o'clock there
raged one of the most violent hnr, i! son a that ever has
been experienced her,. At this hour the wind begat
to bark (as it is termed) to the N. blowing at times tit
squalls of incredible violence, bringing with Aim
sigh tliptils of rain, that there was not a haste in the
village could entirely resist their fury. The wind tow

Besides the church, some other buiblinr were

pleamre, we add, that no lives were lost.
On Saturday morning last (the wind still from
that quarter), it entered evident we were about to
experience the annual equinoctial gale; the rain con-
tinued, but the wind did not blew violently, until Sun-
day morning about ten, and from that untii twelve
o'clock at night, it continued with increased violence,
in such a manner as to cause us to fear nut only the
destruction of the vessels at Cockspur, having on
board a great number of passengers, who were leaving
this place in consequence of the prevailing fever, but
likewise the city itself. The city presented a dismal
scene yesterday morning .trees that had resisted the
power of the wind for rears, were strewed in every
tiiroCtion—fences, &c. were blown down. The ship-
ping have 'Ohm" considerable damage, several being
di:ven on shore.

ADDRESS TO THE QCEEN.
On Saturday last, in constinente of parochial re-
quisition, a meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of
Bishopree took ;dare at the workhouse, for the par-
of considering the propriety of an address to the
Xing, upon matters arising out of the proceedings'
against the Queen : anti also to prepare an address di
congratulation to her Majesty, and to consider the
propriety of presenting petitions to both Houses of
Parliament.
Mt. OPIENAWAT, the Ward Deputy, in the absence
from town of Alderman Sir Richard Carr (ilyn, took
the chair, and read the requisition in compliance with
which this meeting had been called.
Mr. Leitisives said, that, oppressed as he was by
severe indisposition at the present moment, he was ut-
terly unable to make the propositions to the meeting
which he bad intended to submit for their opinion,.
Indeed the meeting came upon him with complete sur-
prise, for he, as being the person who had prepared
the requisition, ought to have been consulted upon
the day fur convening the meeting. The Alderman of
the Ward bad also promised him his courtesy. Hs
had two addresses at d a series of resolutions, hot they
were not in so finished a state as he could wish. He
then complained of this day bring selected for such
a meeting, when it was known that most of the Wise
bitants could not quit their business on Saturday ; he
therefore strongly urged the propriety of an adjoure-
meat until Tuesday, more particularly aßer the sad-
den fate of the bill.
Mr. COATE,' seconded the proposition of adjourn-
ment, and remarked that, after the tardiness of the
Ward in coming forward to express its sentiments
upon this important question, it bellowed them to take
care that what they did now should at least he done
diliberately and well. The change of events within
the last day rendered deliberation doubly necessary ;
all they knew with accuracy way, that this nefarious
bill againt the Queen had been done away, but as yet
they did nut know the real quantum of advantage
which the country was to derive front that circum-
stance. Before Tuesday something might transpiee
which would citable them better to see their way °a-
wards.
Mr. Croatia:A. said that lie was not favourable to the
adjournment, and was now quite prepared to go on
with the 'rosiness. lie also observed, that lie was un-
certain whether they eonld legally adjourn a discussion.
The Ward l'lrsk said they could if they pleased.
At the solicitation of Mr. Ilionstead, Mr. C. Pear-
son confirmed the answer of the Ward Clerk, and then,
adverting to the object of the meeting, expressed his
opinion that the persecution of her Majesty was not
stopped, bat only sleeping. Ile thought that, as a
day or two %mild probably decide the matter, it might
be as well fur tliem to agree to a short adjournment,
and, like jndicious men stand by and see at what point
Ministers meant to renew their attack. Though the
, Bill had been virtually negatived, yet still there were
several Noble Lords, who, like Lord Ellenborough,
were ready to concur with Ministers upon certain
points against the Queen. The Common l'ontivil had
intended to meet on Monday, but he understood the
stitunionres had been stopped in the trene of this mum
Intr. Now it was very important that a Controon-Coun-
eil should act deliberately ; they might, indeed, be rani-
dered as virtually representing the whole people of
' the country, for be believed they were tho only body
of that people who were entitled to go up in person to
his Majesty, and who were, therefore, sure of know•
ing that their opinions were heard by their Sovereign.
As they had this power of telling the truth to the ear
of the King, he hoped they would do so manfully and
properly. In his opinion the time had arrived when
they ought to demand the impeachment of Ministers.
(Cheers.) •
Mr. WHITE objected to the adjournment, and com-
plimented the meeting on so toll an attendance.
After several mutual explanations respecting the
cause of the meeting bring called on ?Saturday, it
was at length agreed that they should adjourn until
Tuesday next.
