BANKS urrcir.— Yestrrdtly a fracas took piece at
interesting to the mercantile World. A
Crednor of a respectable Ztlerchant in the City to ob-
tain payment of a sum of money due, but which it
watt not at the moment convenient to pay. threatened
his Debtor with rein, and making hint a Bankrupt,
accomulish which, he, in conjunction with his
Alf •rnies, have spared no expellee and pains, but
hitherto without accomplishing this nefarious put..
voce.--The mercantile world should know, that
the Commissioners have no power to summon ser.
vents and °theta, to enable petty feezirig a-urn-ides
to entrap people into bankruptcy ; and in this in-
stance tile Agouties' trick has been successfully re-
sisted. After rainy iuetfectual leivate meetings, a
public meeti:.g to further their views took pluce yes-
terday at Guildhall. when the Gentleman who is :he
object of their malice, very properly and manfully
made his personal apl.earaece amongst them, :tut'
without much regard to ceremony, gave them his
sentimr.tis of their proceedings with a publicity that
held op the Attornies and their accomplice to the
contempt of every one in Guildhall. The teime
Laws-efts who here been flies zealous in the present
case, were more successful in their schemes against
an hoseneehle ma in the City w:shite-tive-latee few
days by lofting him. into the Gazette,' not only
against his own will and wish, bdt agniast the incli.
ngtiret of nine-tenths of his Creditors. Some great
task of reprobation should attach to Attornies who
thus wantonly sport with the feelings and property
of mercantile men; for if these e• erecters are suf.
fered to go unpunished no man in busirtess is safe.—
It is hoped that justice will prevail in the result of
the merited prosecutions the parties alluded to are
threatened vsl:h.

The Comedy of As You Like li was repeated here
last night for the third lime, since Mrs. Ar.sor's ap..
pearance in the part of Rosalind. On this occasion,
she acted more successfully than on either of the
former, for she was in stronger voice, and- more at
ease in her action. Nothing could be more playful
or impressive than her epilogue.
After the play, was. produced John du Bart, an

. story relates to the Prince of Conti, elected to the
Throne of Poland, in opposition to Frederick Au-
gustus of Saxony. The whole action is contained in
(the landing of the French Prince with John du Bad,
' a Naval talker, cm a part of the Polish coast, within
the government of a Nobleman in the Saxon interest.

All the efforts at humour are so pre-eminently mi-
serable, that, they provoke more laughter from their
poverty, than a tolerably good joke would be likely
to excite. We have no objection to puppet-shows
in their proper place—but an 'overgrown puppet.

done more justice to an abler scene. Even LISTO3
could hardly provoke a smile; the whole dialogue was
dull, mean, and despicable. Much weariness was ex.
pressed by the audience, and we join them in hoping,
that our patience may never again be tried by such at.
tempts as this upon the Crown or Poland.
