ROYAL STANNARY AND BRITISH MINING ASSOCIATION. A public meeting of the Shareholders of this Asso ciation was held yesterday, pursuant to advertisement, at the C•ty of London Tavern, Bishopsgate•street. HENRY BLAIN, Esq. was called to tke Chair.—He stated the object of the meeting to be the institution of an inquiry into the formation of the Company, and the state of its affairs ; and also the organizing of measures to enforce either performance on the part of the pro. jectors, of the prospectus issued by them to the public, or in default, to compel restitution of the deposit money obtained on the faith thereof. Mr. ROBERTSON addressed the -Meeting at some .length in refutation of a charge which had been made against himself, and circulated through the medium of the press—namely, that he had consented to withdraw his opposition to the acts of the Directors on condition of being paid 41. per share for a hundred which he held. This he asserted was a gross and unfounded calumny, and in meeting it with an indignant disclaimer, he ap- Da'ed to Mr. Betham , the Solicitor on the part of the Directors, who was present. A discussion on this subject ensued, in which Mr. Betham bore a part, and the result of which was a ma nifest conviction among all the shareholders present,that Mr. Robertson's assertions were perfectly true, and his conduct quite fair and unexceptionable. Mr. KNIGIIT, as Solicitor on the part of the subscrib ers, produced, for the inform .tion of the Meeting, the opinions of the Attorney and Soiicitor General. Before h. proceedod to read them, he observed that he attended the Meeting of t! . e Directors, held at the ,Freemasone Tavern on o , e 10th inst. He there ventutei to express an opinion on the subject of their affairs and proceedings, which was received a ith disapprob ition and deni .1, but tile correctness of which, he was happy to find supported and sanctioned by the authority of the Attorney and Solicitor General. He then read aloud both opinions, with the case to which they applied. we give them at full length, as they present a clear view of the points on which the contending partial are at issue—and may be considered valuable documents, as extending in their application to the affairs of all trading associationa in consimili cam. CASE. Some time in the spring of the present year an Asso ciation was stated to have been formed for the purpose of purchasing and working certain Nimes in Cornwall and Devon, to be called " The Royal Stannary and British Mining Association," the capital to be 500,0001. in 10,000 shares, of 501. each. Tne Dire, tors were self-elected, and consequently had the exclusive distribution of the shares. By the accompanying prospectus, as al•o by advertisements in the l imei, and other Daily Papers, applications for shams were to be made to the Bankers or the Solicitors of the Association. In consequence of such advertise ments, not less than 26,000 shares were applies,' for; the Directors, h wever, either with a view to their own personal advantage, or fur reasons which they do not think proper to make known, kept back 4000 shares, issuing to the Public only 6000, upon which a deposit has been paid of 51. per share. By this course of pro ceeding, only 50,0001. has been paid, instead of 50,0001. the amount of the deposits upon 10,000 shares, the number originally contemplated. In this situation the Directors have expended nearly the it hole of the 50,0001. in the purchase of mines, and by other huge payments, and notwithstanding the whole of the 500,0001. named in the prospectus has not yet been subscribed for, or any Deed of Association executed, or even prepared, the Directors have made a further call of 21. per Share, not upon the 10,000' Shares, as originally announced by the Prospectus, but upon those only held by the Public, and on which the deposit of 51. per Share has been made. This circum stance, with many others unnecessary to mention, have led the Shareholders to call for the accounts of the Company, and from which, when produced by the Di rectors, it appears that they, in addition to the first pur chase of the mines, and other incidental expense s, have paid a sum of 2,5001 to some person as the projector of the Association; and not satisfied with having kept back four thousand Shares, the Directors went into the market and actually purchased one thousand Shares, at a small discount, for the cost of which Shares they take credit as a payment made on account of the As sociation ot no less a sum than 4,7001. The present Shareholders, therefore, who have paid their deposits upon the faith of the Company, having ten thousand Shares of fifty pounds each, as stated in the prospectus, will have their risk increased just double the amount they contemplated, and that at the arbitrary discretion of a few individuals who have elected themselves the Directors of this Association, and who never called a Meeting to authotise any one of their acts. On the part of those who have paid the deposit of 51. per share upon the faith of the original prospectus, it is contended that the Directors have no power to alter the terms of the sad prospectus, or to make any payments xcept those necessary for the establishment of the Ass.rciaiio.9, until the whie amount of the capital of 500,0001. named in the prospectus has been subscribed for, and the deposits paid upon the 10,000 shares—much less had they authority to make so large a payment as 2,5001. to the Projtctor of an Association not even now f armed ; and 4,7001. for the purchase of 1,000 shares, which having been done previously to the repeal of the Act, commonly called the 11u;sble Act, was altogether illegal. Uader these circumstances, your opinion is requested. I rst—Whether the subscribers who have paid their deposit ot 54 upon their respective shares, in confor mity to the terms of the original ospectus, can be held lwble for the payment of the further sum 0121. per share, until the whole capital of 500,000/. has bean subscribed for, and the deposits of 51. per share paid upon the 10,0(10 shares originally stipulated for? Secondly—Wh ther the Directors were authorised to make any payment., for the purchase of mines, or the 25001. to the alleged projector, and 4,7v0/. for the purchase of the 1000 Shares, uitt.l the whole capital had been subscribed for, and the Deed regulating the Association, according to the terms of the Prospectus, had been executed ? Thirdly--Whether, as only 6000 S:iales have been paid upon, instead of 10,000, t e number originally named in the Prospectus, and 1000 of these Shares since purchased by the Directors, thereby increasing the risk of the present Shareholders to double what was contem plated by the Prospectus, such shareholders can s►ith. draw themselves from the concern altogether, and main tain au action against the Directors (ur such of them in whose names the deposits of 51. Ira Share have been received) to recover back such deposit, as for money had and received; and whether the purchaser of an original suOscriber's interest stands in any different or worse situation than the original subsci fiber hin;srll ? Lastly—And, failing web IVA of action, can the Subscribers compel the Pr -jectors or Directors to refund the monies so expended, and pay up the deposits on the 4,000 issued shares, so as to go on with the Association on its original basis ? • THE ATTORNEY•GENERAL ' S OPINION. Ist. It does not appear from the above statement, or the Prospectus, that the Directors possessed any authority to alter either the am .unt of the capital, or the number of shares—or, in fact, to do anything until the whole number of shares were purchased, and the capital subscribed. I think the Subscribers are not liable for the payment of the further sum of 21. per share, in the present state of the Association. Indeed, it does not appear that the Directors have any authority to make a call for further payment; their authority in this respect would depend upon the terms of the Asso ciation, which do not appear to hay . e been settled. 2d. I think," upon the above statement, the Directors had no authority to make any of these payments. Sd. I think any shareholder may withdraw from the Association if he thinks' proper ; but he cannot maintain an action for money had and received against the Di rectors who received the deposit. I think this money c+ll only be recovered (if at all) in a Court. of Eqiiity.— If the party vf ishing for the return knew that the Direc tors were laying out the subscriptions in the purchase of Mines, &c. and did not in any way interfere to.prevent it, either by remonstrance or otherwise, they will Iva, I "think, be entitled to insist upon the return. 4th. Fur any misapplication of the funds, those indi viduals who have authorized such misapplicatio I will be responsible: hut they can be called to account only in a Coon of Equ.ty. If they have improperly withheld the 4,000 shares, they would be liats:e in respect to any injury the Association may have thereby sustained. I think, if they continue Directors, they may be compelled to carry on the establishment upon its original footing. But there would be _very great difficulties in the way of any proceeding in a Court of Justice, arising nut of any Association of this nature. Serjeants Inn, Nov. 21, 1825. J. S. COPLEY. THE SOLICIIOR•GENERAL ' S (PINION. Ist. • I ant of opinion that the Subscribers who have paid their depo•it of .5 per cent. could not he compelled to pay the additional inbtalment of 2/. per Aare, 2d. I see no grounds upon which the Directors could assume a power to divert and apply the money in their hands, paid in by the Subscribers, to either of these purposes; and I conceive that neither of these sums could be allowed as matter of discharge, being pay ments made with , ut authority. _ _ 3J. I apprehend that the Subscribers would not he able, by any action, to 'recover back their deposits. Bat I think that the Subscribers, by a Bill in Chancery, by or in the names of all, might require the Directors to account for and pay back their deposits, on the ground that the Association, under all circumstances, must be con.idered as virtually at an end, and incapable of being proceeded with. I further think that the Court of Chancery would not, by any decree, enforce or compel the establishment of the Association. Upon the whole, the relief which the Subscribers have, is to meet the case (as in substance is) as one in which pro bably the project cannot be carried into effect, and con sequently that the Directors must account and pay back the deposits. C. WETHERELL. _ _ Lincoln's Inn, Nut. 22, 1825. Considerable applause attended the reading of the opinions.—And Mr. Rousarsox havi..g declared that they had better do all they could to get back what remained of their money, proposed the following resolutions : Resolved—That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the sum held forth to the public in the original Prospectus as the intended capital of the Company, ro be called the Royal Srannary and British Mining Asso ciation, not having been subscribed for, by payment of a deposit in the stipulated number of them, such a Company never had any existence. Secondly—That such a Company as the Royal Stan nary and British Mining Association, never having existed, the Subscribers thereto are entitled to their re. specive deposits, and do accordingly demand re-pay ment thereof. Tnirdly—That a Committee of nine Gentlemen be now appointed to apply to the Projectors or Directors on behalf of the Subscribes, for re-payment of their deposit, and in default thereof, to organize measures to enforce the same. Fourthly—The Committee will be empowered to call upon the Shareholders for a deposit of 2s. 6d. per share, but not to proceed to legal measures beyond the sum subscribed without the authmity of the Shareholders being first obtained at a General Meeting called for that purpose. After a few observations of some Shareholders the Resolutions were unanimously agreed to. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the Meeting dispersed. M:.Birch, an eminent coachmaker, some days ago gave a dinner to his very numerous establishment in his workshops, and he invited Mr. DUNN, of Drury-lane Theatre, and Mr. SMITH, the bass singer, and some other Gentlemen, to he of the party. Nearly 100 sat down to dinner, and after some of the usual glees and songs were sung, suddenly a voice of surpassing sweet ness was heard IN the room, but from whence it issued was no: discoverable. The company stared at each ocher in astonishment. Every one declared that he never heard such tones, except from the throat of CA• TALANI. The applause at the conclusion of the song was such as might be expected, and after every one had expressed his admiration, there arose a discussion about the sex of the melodist: The almost universal opinion was, that such t^nes could c , :me from nobody but a woman. GEORGE SMITII was of a different opinion : he said he believed the voice to be that of a young man, and soon afterwards the body of a coach, which lay at the upper end of the worksl!op, was opened, and out stepped a male dwarf, about 2'2 or 23 years of age.— The qualifications of this little person were at once m• de known to the Managers of Drury-lane Theatre, who, immediately upon the recommendation of the profersional men who heard him sing, engaged him. His voice is in all the upper tones precisely like CA TA LANTS; and in the lower, it bears a close resemblance to Mrs. Btarar's. Mr: Bti:czt had accidentally heard him joining in a glee w ith two other poor ragged creel• lures in the street, and buir.anely determined to give him a chance o! bettering his condition. Saturday ueek another accident from a sprint-gun ' happened in Northfield wood, the ptoperty of Roger Pettiward, Esq. Thomas lisrnard, a night-watch or under-keeper, trod upon the wire of n. e of these ma• causes, a:AI was to ribly lacerated, receiving the wl ole charge in the cait of his !ag, at about six 3 art's' distanc.- from ti.e gun. In the course of one fortnight, seven children were brought to Bristol Infirniary, to dreadfully burnt, tha four of aeon tiled. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. A'IANSION-HOl7Sir Edward lbws was charged with stealing some China images.— Mr. Bryant, of St. Paul's Church-yard, stated that a •few days since, the prisoner and another man came to his shop and selected a pair of China jars, value £6, which he ordered to be sent to Mr. Johnson, 13, Ely-place. Shortly after he was gone, the images were missed; and on sending the jars to Ely-place, he found Mr. John son did not reside there. On meeting him yesterday, in Cheapside, he gave him in charge to an officer.—He was remanded. Commix EVIDENCI Sociesv.—Mr. Barham, the proprietor of the Belle Sauvage inn, Ludgate-hill, requested the Loma MAYOR'S advice under the following circumstances: Mr. Barham stated, that he had recently taken possession of the Inn, and that a few days since, a person whom be had since ascertained to be the Rev. Dr. Taylor, hired a room for a Public Meeting, to be held on that (yesterday) evening. Ile did not state the object of the Meeting, nor did the applicant at the time know that there was such a So ciety as the above in existence ; he accordingly agreed to let him have the room for ten shillings; but having seen the statement in the Newspapers of yesterday, respecting the improper nature of the discussions which took place at such Meetings, he was anxious to prevent it from taking place in his room if possible, as it might seriously injure the character of his house. The Loan Mayon. said he had no power to interfere. He thought the less notice that was taken of the Society's proceedings the better; as if left to itself it would soon die a natural death.— , The applicant he was determined it should be the first and last Meeting of the sort held in his house. A .poor old sailor, who appeared to be exceedingly infirm, and who, besides other afflictions, was tortured by distractit b , head aches, was brought before the Loan hlwvoa,• an officer having found him in a very deplorable state in the streets. He said he had travelled to town ,roan Bristol, to get into the Hospital ; but his condition was incapable of being relieved there, and he had not a halfpenny. The I.n.D MAYO& was very anxious that the poor fellow should get home as comfortable as passible, and desired the Turnkey of the Compter to take cure of him until a conveyance should be procured. The sailor immediately shed tears, wrung his hands in agony, and begged, for Goo's sake, to be allowed rather to perish in the streets than to go to prison . . He had never been in so dreadful a place, and he now never could think of going there. "My Lord, said he, most earnestly, and with tears rolling down his cheeks, " I never did a dishonest thing in my life, and !don't deserve to be put in prison." It was quite useless to say a- word in recommendation of the comforts of the Compter; the old sailor would not have entered it, we really believe, if £lOO were given to him ; he held it in the most honourable abhorrence. The Loan Mayon asked him for what sum he could get home? Ile said, he believed be could procure a passage home for ss. The Loan MATOIL gave him 15s. and ordered that he should be supplied with necessaries. The sailor, upon looking at the money, said, that the ss. would do, and seemed desirous to return the remai-der of • the money ; hut be was desired to put it in-his pocket. GUILDHALL. Toe CONVICT ADAMS.—Anotber affidavit in behalf of this unfor tunate man, woo was convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions of stealing a horse, was tendered before Mr. Alderman Anster, for his permission to have it sworn before him. The deponent was a very decent looking female, who keeps a shop opposite the house of the exciseman where the convict lodged. The Jurymen who tried Adams seem to be taking great pains to sift the case to the bottom, for by the statement of the Gentleman who now attended with the deponent, it appeared that the present link of evidence had been discovered by the Jurymen themselves, while making a personal inquiry into the character of the numerous witnesses who were not examined on the trial, but whose testimony bad since been laid before them, to induce them to join in the appli cation to the Crown for mercy. Mr. Beresford, the Chief Clerk, asked the Gentleman to state who and what he was, and why he interfered in this business? The Gentleman replied that his name was Edward Burchell, that he resided in Gloucester -street, Hoxton, and that by profession he was an appraiser. Mr. Beresford—Have you not been seen about the Old Bailey Courts ? Yes. Mr. Beresford —Are you not to be paid for your services in this business ? I am to be paid for my time. Mr. Beresford—Then I would seriously warn you that there may be some danger in acting u a solicitor, drawing up affidavits and petitions. Mr. Burchell- I have interfered myself in this case because I have known the brother-in-law of the convict, who was supposed to have perjured himself, for upwards of two years. Ido not pro fess to be a solicitor. I have prepared this affidavit and attended with this witness at the special request of the Jurymen. While this colloquy was going forward, the worthy Alderman was conning over the contents of the document, which he now said he could not suffer to be sworn, because it merely stated that early in September a man rode up on horseback to Adams's door, and en tered into conversation with him, &c. without stating any particu lar day, so as to identify it with the transaction in question. Mr. Burchell replied, that the day when the man rode up was clearly shewn in the other affidavits, especially that of the landlord. Mr. Alderman Amste—Well, 1 have not those affidavits before ass; I know nothing of them. To suffer such a loosely-worded affidavit as this to be sworn, might he to countenance a delusion. The application was therefore refused. Dr. Lushington, whose pocket was picked a few days since of a silk handkerchief, in Doctors' Commons appeared here, to neer tain the result of some inquiries that were directed to be made re specting the character of the young man who was detected in the act, and the report of the officer having been very much in his fa vour, he was, after a severe admonition from the Alderman, dis charged; Dr. Lushington having, under these circumstances, de dined proceeding against him. Ou the young man's being removed from the bar, Dr. Lushing ton directed that he might see him in private for a few minutes, and there is no doubt but that the interview was much to the advan tage of the young fellow. as the Doctor appeared to interest himself very much in his behalf. BOW-STREET. COVIENT-OARIIIN MAZIGET.—The accumulation of waggons and carts, not only bringing vegetables into this part of the metropolis, but remaining in the carriage way until the whole of their cargoes are disposed of, is so great, that the parish of St. Paul, Covent.. garden, has determined to endeavour to put a stop to the nuisance, for which purpose a number of persons, owners of the carts, &c. have been served with summonses to attend at this office, to answer the complaint of the parish. The proprietors of several of the taverns and coffee-houses, under the Piazzas, have had occasion repeatedly to complain, but hitherto such complaints have proved fruitless, and the nuisance still re mains unabated. Several meetings of the parishioners have been held, and it was eventually resolved to summon the offending parties. It appears that round the market is a " denter stone," and aU persons selling without that atone, or detaining their waggons, Ste. longer than is actually necessary for unloading, are liable to a penalty of 40s. under Mr. M. A. Taylor's Act. Under this Act the parties in question were summoned by the parish. Yesterday being the day appointed for the different cases to be heard, the office was crowded to excess with market-gardeners, some of whom bad been summoned, and others to ascertain the re sult of the proceedings. Mr. Munn+ us appeared for the parish. The first defendant called on was John Hines, a market-gar dener, at Acton, in Middlesex. John Stephens, Surveyor to the Committee of Pavements, proved, that on the 17th inst. a waggon belonging to the defendant was standing in the carriage-way outside of the "stone," from about seven o'clock in the morliing until nine ; the interim was occupied by the driver selling part ut the load to various customers ; and he was confident that the nuisance to the inhabitants was very great. Sir R. Bums—You may go further than that, for I was obliged the other day to turn back in consequence of the obstruction. The defendant said, helad paid the customary toll to the clerk of the lessees of the market. Mr. Anoiesses—They have no tight to demand toll of you, when out.,ide of their " stone, as that part does not belong to them. De:endant—lf I was.not to pay them they would take my wag. goo to the green y.tid. Mr. Anmenus —They have no right to take any money from you, and if they seize your waggon, you have your remedy by an action at law. The defendant was then fined in the penalty of 401. and costs. The other caws stand over by cousent,till a tut ure day, for hearing, WO RS 111 P. nitHET. RESURRECTION MEN.—John Gerald and Robert King were placed at the bar under the following circumstances ; John Upton, one of the day patrol, stated, that on going through iluxtoti, be observed the two prisoners with a bundle, and other things under their arms. They eyed him very cautiously, and in such a manner r.s to excite his suspicions. He accordingly made r.p to them, and asked what they had got ? wbeu they refusli.g irrn any satisfactory answer.

The young woman was here asked whether she was as , on her part for matrimony as the sailor? She answered that had many strong objections indeed to such a ceremony, for !ie baj discovered that he had a wife and four children, all liyirg, and 4 , present in Devonshire. Mr. CHA mamas observed, that that circumstance a t tered the ;,, very materially, and asked the defendant how he coo:d to offer marriage to a girl when he had a wife roir iirirys Jack, however, positively declared that the assertion was to *, 1 .1 the only woman he ever loved besides Kitty, was an Esviroast,b;,-: he never got spliced to her.

A Deputation, consisting 'of the Churchwarden s tai other inhabitants of St. James, Clerkenwell, waited yesterday on the Rev. Mr. DILLON, Chaplain to the LORD MAYOR, at the Mansion House, to present to him the Bishop of LONDON'S license to pelform t!e third additional Divine Service, with a Sermon, in t i t , Iparish church. This appointment, we believe, is t;e first under the Act of Parliament (58 Geo. III.)

A universal language may be formed by Arabic numbers taken arbitrarily. Every number is assumed as denoting the same word in all languages. By means of this distinction, when a Frenchman tsde-uous of writing to an Englishman this sentence—la guerre es.' un grand oral, he seeks in his index for guerre, etre, grand, mal, and writes the corresponding numbers, as for instance, 13, 33, 67, 68.

ANCIENT CHURCHES.—The number of Churches in England, noticed in Doomsday- Bod, is little more dart 1,700, although Sir Henry Spelman, professing to Cerl• pule for the same time, makes the extraordinary oleo. lation of 45,000. The division of these Churches, according to Doomsday is very remarkable—theie are 222 in Lincolnshire, 243 in Norfolk, 364 in Siiffnli only one in Cambridgeshire, and none in Laneast,ire, Cornwall, or even Middlesex, the seat of the Metropc lis. This is rather an unsatisfactory return for the time of the Conquest. While our antiquaries suppose_ that the Churches of the Anglo-Saxons were built ot wood, it is worth remarking, that the only instance of , a C.rurch so constructed in Doomsday, is at Begelas'' , in Yorkshire. Edward the Confessor gave the town of Sandwich to the Church of the Holy Trinity, in Camel' bury, and during his last illness gave two hides of lard at Amesbury to the Abbess of Wiltun, for her prayers. The town of Sandwich by ancient tenure sent to Christ Church, Canterbury, 40,000 herrings annually, for the refectory of the monks. The Church of St. Pet er, Winchester, had 38,500 herrings from the vill eins 00 their manor at Lewes, Sussex. William de Wale"ne had 16,000 herrings from the Burgesses at Le wes. The manor of Beccles, Suffolk, in King Edward's tinier yielded 30,000 herrings to the Abbey of St. Edmund' DIED.
