A Country Solicitor — The important alteration in the law of debtor and 
creditor will take place on the 24th October, next month. By the 
Common Law Procedure Act (17 k IS Viet, c. 125) it is provided that 
a creditor who has obtained a judgment in any of the superior courts 
may apply to the court or a judge for n rule or order that the judgment 
debtor should be orally examined as to any and what debts arc owing 
to him before a master of the court, or such other person as the court 
or judge shall appoint, and the court or judge may make such rule or 
order for the examination of such judgment debtor, and for the produc- 
tion of any books or documents, and the examination shall be conducted 
in tho same manner as in the case of an oral examination of an opposite 
party before a master. A judge may order an attachment of the debts, 
which order of attachment is to bind the debts. The third party owing 
the money is called the garnishee, and proceedings may be adopted to 
levy the amount due from tho garnishee to the judgment debtor. A 
judge may allow the judgment creditor to sue, and the garnishee is to 
bo discharged as against the judgment debtor to the amount paid or 
levied, although such proceedings may be set aside or the judgment 
reversed.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
f I ^HE expedition to tbe Crimea had actually sailed when 
A- the latest news left Turkey. Long ere this the greatest 
achievement of the war must have commenced, and, it may 
be, has been accomplished. Every day increases the anxiety 
with which intelligence is expected. 
There seems no doubt that tho Baltic campaign is ended 
for the season, and its termination is, in several quarters, 
considered os premature. It is thought that the capture 
Bomarsund, after a brief bombardment, had rendered it clear 
that the vaunted fortifications of the Russians were not proof 
against the iron storm which could be hurled from our float- 
tion. Others may possibly observe, that if tho attack was 
to be delayed uutil the entry of Austria made it probable 
that she was inclined to protect herself (the movement 
really comes to little more), the official announcement that 
the expedition was to sail five or six weeks ago was insincere. 
And more vigorous disputants may be disposed to ask 
whether England and France were justified iu wasting all 
these months, while the Austrian Cabinet refused to speak 
out ; and whether a more peremptory requisition might 
not have saved the lives of thousands, who have been dying 
while diplomatists chattered. And we will add — neither 
asserting nor denying our belief in the truth of the state- 
ment — that it is Yvidely current that the attack upon tho 
Crimea has been brought about by the representations of 
the Emperor of France, who is alleged to have declared that 
if the English forces would not proceed to the assault, ho 
should feel it his duty to order it to he made by those of 
France alone. If this be true, Louis Napoleon has put 
forth an additional claim to the especial favour with which 
an enemy of Russia must be regarded by the Premier of 
England. 
The Prince Consort left Boulogne at night, amid fireworks, 
salutes, and less noisy, but more cordial, demonstrations, and 
returned to Osborne. The sojourn of the Royal Family in 
Scotland will be brief this year. The Emperor of France 
continues to watch over his Boulogne camp, but will shortly 
make a visit to the Empress for the gallant purpose of 
escorting her Majesty, from her Yvatering-place seclusion, to 
Compi&gne. It is considered possible that the great Indus- 
trial Exhibition, to be opened in Paris in May, will afford 
Queen Victoria an opportunity of visiting the Emperor and 
Empress in their capital ; and very sanguine people rumour, 
that the Sydenham Versailles, when the fountains are ready, 
may afford a similar opportunity to Louis Napoleon and his 
Consort to return the call. 
The fearful epidemic which has raged among us is decreas- 
ing, but the Registrar General’s return for last week is sadly 
significant. He observes that the population of London ex- 
ceeds 2,362,236, and that iu the week ending Saturday last, 
3,413 persons died, or2,165moretkanhave, onanaverage, died 
in the corresponding week of former years. But, he adds, 
in the week ending September 8, 1849, when cholera raged, 
3,183 persons died, so that, allowing for the increase off 
population, the rate of mortality is lower than during the 
time of the former affliction. Of tho number of deaths just 
mentioned, 2,050 have occurred through cholera. The 
official’s anticipations are hopeful, but he advises that not 
ing batteries, and that something more important might be 
attempted in the yet considerable period before ice sets in. 
Sir Charles Napier's return, after making neither the visit to 
St. Petersburg nor the alternative one which he is currently 
reported to have promised, will excite some remark. But 
tho tidings from the Crimea, which may announce that 
Russia’s key to the Mediterranean has fallen into the hands 
of tho allies, and that her whole Black Sea fleet has been 
burned or taken, will probably cause the Baltic to be for- 
gotten in England. In Russia the result will be different ; 
aud it is not difficult to foresee that the imperial scribes, 
while admitting and undervaluing our successes in the south > 
will point cxultingly to the north, and urge that the finest 
fleet that ever left England's shores has returned to them, 
having effected nothing. It will be added that our boasted 
blockade lms done little towards the injury of Russian com- 
merce, the neutral attitude of Prussia having enabled the 
Russian merchants to transmit their goods through that 
country. 
Count Coronini, the Austrian General, entered the capital 
of Wallachia on the 6tli inst., and the defenders of the 
Ministry argue that the advance upou Sebastopol has been 
undertaken at the earliest moment at which it could be pru- 
dent — namely, as soon as Englaud and France were certain 
that Austria really intended to act fairly by them. Our 
business is to record, not to refute, aud therefore we Bhall 
abstain from entering into any examination of this propoty,- 
for a moment should zeal slacken. Provincial returns do 
not enable us to Bpeak with much certainty as to the course 
of the disease ; but in Scotland, we are happy to learn that 
its area and intensity have diminished. 
There is little domestic news of interest. The abundant 
harvest has been got in with every advantage of glorious 
weather, but os yet it has not produced a corresponding 
cheapness of food; and in some provincial localities the impa- 
tience of the working classes — who have not profited by 
mechanics’ institutions, the Waverley Novels, aud lectures 
on poetiy, sufficiently to understand that smashing bakers* 
windows will not bring down the price of bread — have caused 
disturbances which reflection and the presence of the miliflaary 
have abated. The officers of the 46th, as might be expedited, 
have reaped the benefit of the continuous attacks of certain 
portions of the press, and the rabble of Windsor deem them- 
selves justified in insulting the military upon all occasions. 
It seemed somewhat thin-skinned, however, in a couple of the 
officers to cause the arrest of a little boy for an act of imper- 
tinence, and a sharp attorney might make a job out of the affair 
— we write as fair sportsmen, who like to see the capacities of 
every animal exerted according to its nature. The subscriptions 
for the Perry defence and testimonial continue to be 
received ; — tbe application of the money for the former 
purpose is not difficult, hut the second object involves a 
more delicate question, as it is hard to say what particular 
act of Mr. Perry’s life is exactly suitable for representation
