INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MARCH 8. The eldest son of an Irish Nobleman, this day, appeared to take the benefit of the Act before the Commissioners. It appeared, from his schedule, that his debts amounted to 22,0001. and the debts due to him amounted to 16,0001., all owing to bins by persons resident in Ireland. The Insolvent was opposed by Mr. D. POLLOCK, On the part of Mr. Lawrie, one of his creditors, residing in Oxford-street, on the ground that he had not petitioned the Court for relief within 14 days after his going to prison, according to the provisions of the Act. It appeared that the Insolvent had been in prison 20 months before he petitioned. Mr. HEATH supported the Insolvent, and having replied to the arguments of Mr. POLLOCK, the Court decided against the validity of Mr. Por.LocK's objection, and pro. nounced tier the insolvent's discharge. He was discharged accordingly,  It is rumoured that the whole 'of the depots from the Isle of Wight are about to be transferred to the barracks in Canterbury.—(Kentish Gazette.)  Wednesday, in consequence of a sudden order, two troops of the 9th Lancers marched from the fling's Barracks, in Canterbury, under the command of Major CAMPBELL, on their route for Colchester, where they are to arrive on the 11th instant, and to be placed at the disposal of the Magistrates.—(lbid.) As a striking proof of the celerity now given in the transit of goods, we mention as a fact, that a quantity of goods sent from Manchester on Friday last, shipped at Liverpool on Saturday, along with goods purchased there that day, arrived here yesterday, and were soon after landed and sold.—We notice, with much pleasure, as an indication of the continued improvement of our navigation, the arrival, this morning, at the Brornielaw, of the fine Ameri:an brig Morning Star, of 230 tons burthen, direct from New York.—(Glasgow Coulicr, March 5.)  A few evenings-since, a smuggler, named Cloak, was shot dead by one of the Coast Blockade, who was on duty near Bexhill. It appears a severe struggle had taken place between them, as the Blocklade man was dreadfully cut and beat about the head. A Coroner's Inquest has been held, and the Jury returned a verdict— " Justifiable Homicide."—(Sussex Advertiser.) We learn that the ebb of the tide, along the northern shore, was greater than was ever remembered ; and multitudes of the inhabitants of Margate walked out upon the sand to a greit distance searching for objects of curiosity. Tocern MoNsEy an eccentric . physician of the last century, was remarkable ff.'', many peculiarities, but the mode he adopted for drawing his own teeth was perhaps the most uncommon : it consisted in fastening a strong piece of catgut firmly round the affected tooth ; the other end of the catgut was, by means of strong knot, fastened to a perforated bullet ; with this a pistol was charged, and when held in a proper direction, by touching the trigger a troublesome companion was got rid of, and a disagreeable operation evaded. A person whom he fancied he had persuaded to consent to this summary process went so far as to let him fasten his tooth to the catgut ; but at that moment his resolution failed, and he cried out hastily that he had altered his mind : " But I have not," said MONSEY, holding fast the string, and giving it an instantaneous and smart pull ; 44 and, sir, you are a fool and a coward fcr your pains."
