MESSRS. MARSH AND SON. In addition to the erablishment in Berners-street, under the firm of Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, Fauntleroy, and Graham, Mr. Marsh, some. years ago, entered upon a ,peculation with his son, Mr. Arthur Cuthbert Marsh, as Navy Agents, in Scotland-yard. In consequence of the recent failure of the Banking-house, inßer nei s-street, tl,e creditors of the Navy Agency establishment have become much alarmed for the safety of their funds jested in that concern, and at the invitation of Mr. _ _ _ _ _ _ Seymour, Mr. A. C. Marsh's Solicitor, and who, up to the fiilure of the I3anking-house, acted likewise as Solicitor for that firm, between► thirty and forty of them met yesterday, at one o'clock, at the British Coffee house, in Cockspur-street, for the purpose of examin ing into the state of the affairs of the Navy Agency establishment. On the motion of Mr. Seymour, Sir BE?JAMIN HALLOWELL was called to the Chair. Mr. SEYMOUR said, that he held in his hand a case which had been submitted to the opinion of Counsel, hut previous to reading which, he would briefly state the nature of the circumstances, which was, that the account standing at the banking-house in Berners-street, in the name of Mr. A.. C. Marsh, was considerably overdrawn, and if for this over-drawing Mr. A. C. Marsh was liable, there could be no doubt that he was insolvent. It was the interest of every one of the cre ditors of the Navy Agents to avoid this, and conse quently, if any such claim was made by the assignees of the bank in &tilers -meet, it was for them to resift it as far as in them lay. Having stated thus much of the outline of the business, he would now proceed to read the case which be held in his hand. During its perusal, Mr. Seymour stated, for the information of the company, that the arguments in the case were founded on facts, admitted as well by the Berners-street assig nees as the creditors of the Navy Agents, and in reality those assignees had been as anxious as themselves to obtain the opinion of Counsel on the point, that they might know how. to proceed. He mentioned this to thew that the opinion of Counsel had not been taken on an ez pal le statement. The case then stated, that in May, 1817, a partner ship was harmed for a term of twenty-one years, between Ir. William Marsh, the father, and Mr. Arthur Cuth bert Marsh, the son, as Navy Agents. The articles of partnership were dated May 20, 1817 ; but it was therein :tweed that the son should not be considered as a partner till the sum of 44,000/.l'hree per Cents. were invested by him; this sum had never been so invested, and be bad 1:orn that time to the present continued to act in the dice on a salary of 8001. per annum, withuut haetng any share whatever of the profits accruing. Previous to this contract of partnership, Mr. W. Marsh had been tarrying on the same business since the year 1815; and before his son's at all appearing in the concern, bad overdrawn bis account in Bemers-street, to the amount of $,OOOl. At Berners-street it was perfectly under. stood that Mr. A. C. Marsh had no share in the profits, although the account of the Navy Agency-house, at the Banking-house, was kept open in his name; but this was en a clear understanding that be was not to be in any way personally liable; this understanding was first by parole, subsequently by letter. It v‘se therefore presumed, that all the partners of Her. nerostreet would testify that they did not considek the son as perionally responsible, hoicever they might argue relative to the application of the assets of Messrs. Marsh and Son ; but in reply to any such argument, Mr. A. C. Marsh contended that the Assignees of that bankruptcy could only look to the surplus assets of that house, after the other creditors had been satisfied. The letter that annuunced that Mr. A. C. Marsh was not in partnership in the Managing Office, was written by the elder Mr. Marsh to his brother partners in Berners street, after a very dangerous illness. As the case stood at present, it appeared that there was a sum of 73,58.51. due to the Berners-street house, from the house in Scotland-yard; on the account entitled the account of Mr. Arthur Cuthbert Marsh, for which indeed the former house held several valuable secucities, but which, comparatively, would go but a small way towatds liquidating that account. The surplus assets were calculated its amount to 80,0001. and this was the only sum that Could be pledged, for the original assets must not be otherwise reduced; but if the assignees had really a right to claim on the whole assets, there would be no doubt that the Scotland-yard house would be ruined. To ascertain this point, an application had been made not only to the assignees, but likewise to Mr. rauntleroy—to Mr. Fauntleroy, because, at the time of the application, that Gentleman had not been included in the commission of bankruptcy. The letter that had been addressed to those persons by Mr. A. C. Marsh, stated that the overdrawn account was solely his fa ther's, and that he, in fact, was merely acting as clerk. On this letter Mr. Fauntleroy indorsed a memorandum, stating, that he would not consent to any proceeding against the house of Marsh and Son, except by joining with them in appointing a receiver and manager. Mr. A.C. Marsh then contended, that the house in Berner'. street had no personal remedy for the cash due to them, and no claim on the property till the other creditors were paid. This case, Mr. Seymour stated, had been submitted to Mr. Bell, certainly the most able man now alive in such matters, and with permission, he would read that Counsel's answer to the case. It was as follows: " Mr. A. C. Marsh is liable at law to all the debts of the partner ship in the Navy Agency business, and if he and the assignees can- Lot agree in the mode of getting In and applying the effects of that copartnership, a Court of, Equity will appoint a receiver to get in the same, and would applt them in payment of the joint creditors. gi I in , * oho 'reset with iskeldliment the eases lit trot ----- see partner has been allowed to recover in his own manse, became his other partner was what is called a nominal partner only. and think, if ever they came to be examined by a mind like Lord El don's, whe knows the various consequences of such decisions, both at Law and Equity, they would never be acknowledged as law. But howevir a Court of Law may deal with such cases, that will not prevent Mr. A. C. Marsh's right to have a receiver sp. pointed. Indeed, it seems more necessary that Equity should in terfere for the protection of Mr. A. C. Marsh, if such is the law. 0 4 Whether the Banking.house can claim to share the joint effects as a creditor of the partnership, is a question of more difficulty. But though the money was applied for partnership purposes, yet if it was in tact advanced upon the mere responsibility and account of Mr. W. Marsh, as is asserted in the letters, I ass of opinion the Banking-house has no claim on the partnership effects as a partner ship creditor, bat only on the separate estate of Mr. W. Marsh. (Si g) " Lincoln's Inn, Oct. 18 ned , 1824." " JOHN BELL Mr. SEYMOUR congratulated the Meeting on the opi nion of Mr. Bell, which was decidedly in their favour, though still it could not be denied that many difficulties presented themselves in the case. It was certain that Mr. A. C. Marsh was not personally liable, but that the 'house in Berners-street had all along looked to the assets, which assets had been deposited with them for security ; this was an untoward circumstance, and it was likewise a thing that would tell against them, the cheques of the navy agents. on the house in Berners street, being always signed by Mr. A. C. Marsh, or by Mr. Stevens, his clerk, expressing that he signed for Mr. A. C. Marsh, though the real cause of this was to dis tinguish the account ar the Navy Agency establishment from Mr. W. Marsh's private account. The assignees bad had the candour to state, that since Mr. Bell's an swer they had resorted to several other opinions, and the majority of those opinions they had found to be discou raging; the real fact was, that the will of the assignees was to be ultimately right,-though the responsibility was not vested in them to decide whether it was for them to resign all claims to any but the surplus assets ; this decision rested with the creditors of the Berner:- street House, and he certainly had some hopes that they might yield the point, though doubtless, they bad no inclination to put it desperately to a venture. —At all events, as it was quite clear that the as signees could not take the assets of the Scotland-yard House into their possession, and pay A. B. or C. he trusted at least that they would consent to the ap pointment of a receiver and manager, to keep possession till it was decided what the claims of the Berners-street House were. If Mr. A. C. Marsh had wished to have saved himself trouble, nothing would have been so easy for him as to have got a commission out against him self, and so have ended the matter; but his real desire was to do justice to all the creditors, and it was for this purpose that he opposed the including the claims of the Burners-street House in the division of the original assets. A Creditor asked, if the opinion of the partners rela tive to the liability of Mr. A. C. Marsh had been given subsequently to the securities and other pledges being left at the Berners-street Bank ? Mr. SZIIBOIII4 in answer, stated that this acknow ledgment had been made subsequent to , everything. For his own part he could not see any objection to the appointment of a receiver ; for even if a Court of Law were to decide the great question against them, they would only be driven back to the point from which they started, and would have the satisfaction of knowing that the funds had been preserved whole, without any ex pense being attached to such preservation. On a question from another Creditor, Mr. SEYMOUR observed, that at all events nothing could be done with the creditors of the other house for some time, as the next meeting of the Commissioners was not to take place till the 16th of December, and it was not likely that there would be any meeting prior to that, as there would be no new facts to acquaint the creditors with. An Arroatter, who stated that he attended en the part of Mr. Conunisdoeer Middleton, asked where the funds had been remain ing up to the present time ? Mr. Sonswes replied, that of course they had rested in the bands of Mr. A. C. Ranh. A Credftor oissretd, that it was a very difficult question to understand bow, If two persons carry on business together, and balm a som of 10,0001. that they were not mutually, liable for the debt. Mr. Sassrooa observed, that the whole case abounded with itstricacies, but that, in answer to the particular objection that had been started by the last speaker, he would refer him to Mr. Bell's opinion. The most feasi ble plan, as it appeared, to him, would be a letter of license. Mr. Seymour then, after inquiring if there were any fart* questions, that he could answer ? pro posed Mr. A. C. Marsh's, and his own retiring, in order, that any discussion that might be started might be car ried on the mote freely. These Gentlemen accordingly withdrew, after Mr. Seymour had submitted the following paper to the at tention of the Meeting, as a statement of the affairs in Scotland-yard:— An Aecbunt of Debts sad Credits of Was. Marsh and Son. Total amount of debts, as eztratted from the Lodgers • $211,788 5 Mr. Pettit's claim . 400 14 6 • 29,168 16 2 . 34,024 0 4 Balance £63,1112 16 6 Total amount otdcbts esteemed good, and extracted from the Ledgers . . . £53,186 13 4 Estimate of value of a Policy of Insurance at the Equitable 015 m, on the life of Ur.

Marsh's absence, several of the Creditors, among whom was the Chairman, took an _opportunity of expressing the high opinion they had of Mr. A. C. Marsh's character and integrity. The first proposition brought before the Meeting was the period of time that should be allowed Mr. A. C. Marsh to endeavour to collect the debts of the Firm. The letter of license, according to Mr. Seymour's hint, appeared to be universally adopted, and it was at length resolved that the said letter should extend in the first instance for twelve months; the creditors retaining the power of prolonging the period, if necessary. It was then resolved that a Receiver should be ap pointed on the part of the creditors, and on the part of Mr. A. C. Marsh ; Mr. Marsh, of course, to appoint his own Receiver, and the creditors theirs; and in case of any difficulty, a Committee of the Creditors was agreed to be appointed, who might conveniently be called together to decide on such poiats.—After a few more remarks from some of the other creditors, the Meeting separated. A Clergyman, possessing a lltring worth eight hit" d►ed ponds a year, residing shout 17 or is miles from Brighton, having resolved to go to Franco for a year or two, engaged' young Divine to perform his duty tar the very moderate stipend of Mi►ty pounds per annum during his sherbet.

This morning arrived, and ran into harbour direct 1 from sea, his Majesty's gun brig Griper, Captain Lyon, one of the ships employed in the North-west Expedi tion, having been obliged to abandon the object for the present season, from having lost all her anchors and ca bles, and discovered that she is unfit for the service,, being totally unequal to beat off a lee-shore. The Griper was-obliged to leave Repulse Bay six weeks since, and after groping her way out of 900 miles of the most dif ficult navigation that can be imagined, io the worst of weather, she met with a heavy westerly gale, which drove her a considerable way into Davis Straits. Fortunately, a change of wind, with more moderate weather, succeeded, When, from the bad state of the vessel, and the losses shehad experienced, there appeared no alternative but making a southerly voyage home.— She came in sight this morning at about 11 A.m. with the signal flying—" Lost all the anchors and cables," and continued to stand in for the harbour, which she fortunately entered, and ran into smooth water, where she brought up with her disabled stream anchor. The news the Griper brings of Captain Parry's part of the Expedition is favourable, as far as it goes : that experienced Officer had reached lat. 71. all well, and with the most favourable weather for his further pro gress. It was the design of Captain Parry to endeavour to communicate with Captain Lyon by means of the Prince Regent's inlet, and his conjectures with respect to the natural facilities and the practicability of doing so appear to be well founded. Captain Lyon has had opportunity of correcting many mistakes with regard to the navigation of Repulse Bay and Sir Thomas Rowe's Welcome ; but the tempestuous state of the weather, and the incapacity of the Griper for the service, prevented him from reaching the extreme points of Repulse Bay, and consequently from attempting to open a communi: cation with Captain Parry by Melville Peninsula. The five months)hus employed by Captain Lyon may afford some information to, and extend the views of, Captain Franklin, who, it is understood, is to leave this coun try on his land expedition in February next, if it should not fortunately effect any greater object. That more has not been accomplished, is not the fault of the Officers and men employed in this hazardous and ar duous service. Captain Lyon landed, and set off for the Admiralty, soon after the Griper was safely anchored. FATAL BOXING MATCH. -4...- •Yesterday Colnbrook was visited by numbers of per sons from London, who were anxious to know the result of the coroner's Inquest, which, it was stated, would be held at twelve o'clock that day, at the King's Arms Inn, where the body of the deceased was lying. This fight lasted only 33 minutes, and in the 20th round the de ceased fill on the grass in a state of insensibility. He was instantly removed in a cart to the King's Arms, and put to bed. Mr. Adams, surgeon, of Colnbrook, and Mr. Baker, of Staines, arrived soon afterwards, and did all in their power to relieve him from the state of stupefaction in which he continued. They bled him at each arm, and applied leeches to his head ; but all their efforts proved abortive. They continued with him from half-past four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon till half-past ten o'clock next morning,. when he expired. He never spoke after he left the field ; but, during the night when the blood flowed freely from his temples, he occa sionally partially opened his eyes. One of the seconds of the deceased, Callas, was attending upon him till he died, and evinced the greatest anxiety and sorrow for the unfortunate event. Information was sent to the fa ther of the deceased, who is a poor man residing in Chertsey, of his son's death. The poor old man, who was partially dependent upon the deceased (who was a shoemaker at Chertsey) for support, came to the King' s Arms, and took a view of the deceased. Mr. Adams opened the head in the presence of ants' ther surgeon, and stated that a blood vessel had nip' tured, and the blood had flowed over the brain, the pressure of which produced what is termed apoplexy. Yesterday morning the father of Brown and the fa ther of the deceased met together at the King's Arms. The detail of what passed between such persons can be of no interest to the public. It is sufficient to state that the father of Scott declared that he felt no animosity towards Brown, and attributed the fatal event to the unhappy fondness of his son for fighting, contracted by associating with boxers. As soon as the death of Scott had taken place, infor• minion was given to the Parish Officers of Colnbrook, and they dispatched a messenger to Mr. Cbarsley, the Coroner, who resides at Beaconsfield, that he might issue his precept to summon a Jury. Before Scott en tered the ring, Brown and him agreed to divide the purse, whoever might be the winner. Brown said, " I shal do all I can to conquer you." Scott observed to a friend near him, " 11l die before I'll give in to such a little one." Brown was more severely beaten during the fight than Scott ; the shoulders and ribs of Scott are scarcely discoloured, his eyes were both black and swollen, and he hurt himself considerably in one of his falls ; but what produced the rupture of the blood vessel is not ascertained.

Sunday afternoon last, about four o'clock, William Brownsell, who for a considerable number of years has been in the service of William Mason, Esq. of Necton (four miles from Swaffham) as a hurdle•maker, went into one of that Gentleman's plantations to examine what timber would be fit to fell for hurdles, when the poor fellow, through ignorance of the place where the gun was set (and one would naturally suppose that such a weapon would not be planted in a road), as he was crossing the road trod upon the wire, and the gun went off, lodging its contents in his body. On Monday morning he was found in dreadful agonies, and con veyed to the nearest house for relief, but in vain ; he shortly after expired. An Inquest was held last night, at the Three Tuns, at Necton, before W. Brooke, Esq. Coroner, when it ap peared in evidence that the report of a gun was heard about four o'clock on Sunday afternoon ; but as the occasion was not suspected by any one, no notice was taken ; that on Monday morning, about eight o'clock, as the gamekeeper was going his rounds, he found the gun sprung, and about eighty yards further discovered the wretched Brownsell weltering in his blood, but still alive. It would seem that the deceased, who must have lain sixteen hours in agonies which cannot well be imagined, had rolled round through briars and brambles to a tree near the spot, where the ground appeared as if a horse had been tied there and paned the earth all round ; he bad afterwards crawled upwards of eighty yards to a hollow part where there is a seat for the keeper to watch, and where be was found nearly in sensible, muttering only " Let me alone." After some deliberation, the Jury came to the fol lowing verdict, which of itself speaks volumes Ac cidentally came to his death by a spring gars set in a cast road leading through a plantation of Mr. Mason's, called the Furnace, adjoining the boundary of Sporle." An Inquest was held on the body of B. Gough, a sailor, who„fell from one of the Bath coaches two miles from Colnbrook, on Wednesday morning. A witness proved having seen him drink 17 drams in a short space of time.—Verdict, Accidental Death. • CORN-EXCHANGE, MARX-LANE, NOV. 111.
