VICZ-CHANcsr.LoN, had twice found that a reference to the Attorney-General produced no good result ; for the rake of public justice, the case.must, go to aJury.  INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT, Atrauvr 4. Peter Anderton, a carpenter and builder, was brought up; and opposed in person by a Mr. Dalkish, a timber-merchant, whO examined a great number of witnesses respecting the insolvent's affairs. The tendency of the investigation was to show that the insolvent bad made misrepresentations respecting his affairs, hub the evidence did not go to establish the fact. it appeared that his insolvency arose from an extensive speculation in building houses on the Hampstead-road. The insolvent was remanded to amend his aelleitille.  Oit Wednesday evening, a special general. Meeting of the city of Loudon Literary laud tzieie tihc institution was hew, for the purpose of considering the practicability of raising a sum of mosey to build a theatre, for the delivery of lectures.—W. G. Prescott, Esq., of the firm of Prescott and Co., bankers, took the Chair. The report of the Committee stated, that from the crowded attendance given by members to their lectures, Albion Hill, the place where they were usually delivered, was found totally inadequate to their accommodation. They considered a theatre, which would hold shoot 800 or 1,000 persons, absolutely necessary for eke purpose, and that the stim requisite tar the erection of such an edifice was 8,000/. When they considered how much the cheapness and advantage of the amusement and instruction furnished to youth by the detiery of lectures was appreciated by well-inforned persons at the head of :'amilies, and when their beneficial effects were known, there could be little deubt that there was sufficient Oolitic spirit. in the city to carry' this plan into the Same complete execution that had attended other efforts of the same nature elsewhere.—(Applanse.).-At was also proposed to provide larger class-rooms for the accommodation of classes of young Men engaged irt commercial or professional pnrimits,'who were desirous of perfecting themselves in the attainment of modern languages. They, therefore, recommend that a public subscription should be opened for these purposes, and that particular advantages should be given to those meroberi who subscribed beyond their annual stti7 seription of two guineas. After some discussion, in which De. Black, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Green, Mr. Paylar, and others, spoke at considerable length, the report was adopted, and the resolutions founded upon it, carried. An inquisition was held on Wednesday at the Nag's Head, . Kentish-town, on the body of Mr. Augustus Barker, a medical gentleman of high respectability, and the son of an eminent dignitary of the church. The Rev. Robert Drought, curiae of Shidwell, sworn. --d knew the deceased well before his death which happened on Saturday last. He resided at the Northern Dispensary, near St. Panora., church, in the New-road. I saw him last about twelve o'clock on Friday morning, at the Bankrupts''court, in :BainghaVastreet, and had some Conversation with him at the time.. The deceased went to surrender himself at a commission of bankrupt; he appeared very dejected, but spoke rationally at first. After some conversation, be suddenly appeared to labour under great excitement. Perspiration broke .out all over his face, his eyes rolled in a singular and wild manner, and he gave such incoherent answers to questions which I put to hint, that 1 should have been alarmed, had I not conceived this violent emotion was produced by the painful situation iu which he was then placed, as front long intimacy and experience I knew him to be a man of great sensibility, end a highly honourable mind.-The deceased felt and expressed great agony of mind at not being able to meet the full demand of his creditors. I have not the smallest doubt that that circumstance caused temporary derangement. I knew him to be very , religiously disposed ; he always spoke of suicide with the utmost abhorrence. I should also state I ant a relative or the deceased.. He drank tea at my house the day previous. I observed he put some liquid in his tea, but I cannot say what it was. He however told me it was to raise his spirits. Several other witnesses deposed to the same effect. Verdict—" Found dead in bed, but how or by what means the deceased came by his death, it does not appear in evidence to us jurors." At Horsham, on Thursday, at noon,, the sentence of the law was carried into effect on the person of Daniel Leant', 'aged 19, who was convicted on the preVious Friday of the mutder of Benjamin Rowel, at Brightling, In Sussex. 'Hannah Russel, who was convicted with him, has been respited sine die.
