Yesterday was dle day appointed by the Loris of : - e Treasury for receiving tl:e Counsel and Agents of : e parties interested in this booty, in reference to a ,erort made to them by the Duke of Wellington and gr. Arbuthnott, the trustees appointed under his Ma wart ant. The case excited great interest among . ti,e Officers .•1 the Army, who crowded the room as .00n as tie doors were opened. Among them were Sir Roma , Ili lot , , Cnlonel Fitzsimons, Major Wood, and fnkly o:lse: Office's of diAtnction. A: half pi.Kt one the doors were opened, and the Counsel took ;:ior places at the table in front of their Lordships. Mr. Adam, Luihington, and Dr. Dodson, appeared for the Marquis Of iv; Mr. Ilarriton, Dr. Jenner, and Mr. Tallman], tor Sir T. and the Army of the Deccan. Lord Livattpoot. immediately addressed the Counsel ion the Army of the Deccan, and stated that it was the trish of their Lnr,tships immediately to put them in possession ..t the points to which the w attention would weirecte:f. It appeared from some communications which had passed, (and to which his Lnrdship did more particularly allude), that the objet of the t t ,my4 ha,l been mistaken. It had been supposed that i t . 4 , intended to open the whole question which lad been discussed already, and which had been settled by the minute of the Treasury, and confirmed by his )f.jesty. This was a mistake; for their Lordships considered their minute as v.:lid and binding, and to tLit minute they would adhere. But a question had arisen as to the booty distributable under the minute and vattant, on which they wished to receive information fron 11,e parties who might be interested in the remit. wittute assumed that booty was captured at three places, " l'uonah, Mahidpoor. and Nagpore;' and now the trustees reported that this assumption was not cor rect; that no bottty had been captured at Nagpore ; that twnehai been realized at Mahidpoor; and that certain portions cl.imed as booty lell into the hands of the tervarrs of the East India Company, after the Army of the Deccan was broken up. Now, the Loads of the Trea,iiry wished, cn this view of the case, to hear the rartie, interested, and as it might affect the Marquis uf liming, and the army under his command, they had g . ren him notice of the inquiry. Mr. IlattnisoN said, that it was very satisfactory to know that their Lordships entirely recognized the i•tticiple of the minute and warrant. With respect to Le booty at Nagpore, he felt confident that he should is -bye t • ahew their Lordships that it had been rightly ci , ideied as l itize; and as to the booty, of which ••e,s:on was taken a•ter the army of the Deccan was n up, he considered that as actually captured by the previt us opet ations, in which complete dominion g as obtained over it. lord LITERTOOL said he thought Mr. Harrison had confined hie.clt to the booty actually taken by the army. Mr. HA RRIStIN assured the Noble Lord that, on reference to the thortdiand writer's notes, the contra!) , would appear. Lord BAXLEY referred to the printed papers, from which it appeared that Mr. Harrison, when asked whether his separate claim was confined to the masses o; booty taken at Mahidpoor, Poonah, and Nagpore? :eped, " Certainly, with this qualification,—when I s•y what was taken at Mahidpoor, Poonah, and Nag. pose, that would include, of course, all that arose out of those captures, for part was taken in forts afterwards." Lord Lument then addressed she Counsel for the Marquis of How l s, and asked if they had any observations to make? Mr. ADAM replied, that it 'he understood distinctly that their Lordships proposed to adhere entirely to their former minute, he did not think be could fairly add anything to the, observations he bad previously !Trade. But if the facts now disclosed tended at all to alter the opinion formed on that principle, then be should wish to be heard. Lord LIVERPOOL said, • they certainly adhered to the ahnute, but still the state of faits might alter the situa tion of the Marquis of Hastings. Mr. Aux—The principle of the minute IS that of actual cap. sure ; and if I am required to thew that Lord Hastings is an actual Carer, as distinguished frost a constructive rapier, I am unable to do so. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIQVIR—No, that is ant exactly so. The warrant determines that the prin. ciple of actual capture shall be adhered to as far as possible ; that is decided ; but then a question arises, *hat booty was actually captured ? Now, it seems that part of the booty claimed was never seized, that is, reduced into possession, until after the Army of the Dfcc in was broken op ; and it may be made a question, whether this was actually captured by the army of the Deccan? If it was so captured, then it belongs to them; if not, it will come within the other part of the minute, "that if the principle of actual capture be riot adopted in this case as the rule of distribution, no other correct or equitable rule could have been adopted than that of a general distribution among all the forces of the Pre i tiencies enfaged in the combined operations of the campaign.' In this case the Marquis of Hastings ihißlit be entitled to share. After some further conversation, it was distinctly tan. derstood that the main question to be discussed was, vhether the booty arising out of the operations of the' Army of the Deccan, though not manually seized till after that army was broken up, was properly considered actually captured by that army ? As to the booty claimed at Nagpore, their Lordships seemed to think it could not be the subject of their decision. Mr. HARRISON expressed an earnest hope that as he iirroly believed it to be booty; according to all the laws of prize, either their Lordships would hear it dis cussed, or would send it to some proper tribunal, and would not preclude the army without hearing them. It was teen arran g ed, that Monday, the 9th of January, should " filed fur the discussion of the question then raised, and that the !tßoment should proceed until it was closed.

His Lemon* then proceeded with a Bankrupt Petition, which was likely to last the whole day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Daemons 6: LANIMAR tl. VINCINT AND °THERA,. This bill has been filed for an account of the trans actions and profits of the Newbury bank, carried on formerly by Messrs. Vincent, F..rmer, Barnes, and Han cock, who had become bankrupts in consequence of t their bank being robbed in the year 1815. It appeared that the banking-house, which consisted of two rooms under the White Hart Inn, at Newbury, being shut up on the night of the 9th of December, 1815, alter busi ness hours, it was broken open during Sunday, the night of the 10th, and robbed of notes, bills, and specie to an immense amount. In consequence of this, the 6rm stopped payment, the banking-shop was shut up, and the patties were not to be found upon the premises to transact their usual business, thongh they were not searched for at their respective dwelling-houses in the neighbourhood. The material question now was, whether this amounted to an act of bankruptcy within the meaning of the sta•ute Ist James I. ch. 1.5, sec. 2. ? Mr. Bea es and Mr. PARKER submitted, that th;6 was prima facie an asi of bankruptcy. It had been held that in a case where% man had carried on the business of a newsvender on the Rnyal Exchange, and there only sold his newspapers, the Royal Exchange was to be considered his shop, that being the place where he generally transacted his bosiness, and that his absence from the Royal Exchange to avoid his creditors con stituted an absenting within the meaning of the statute, and, consequently, an act of bankruptcy. In another case, where it appeared that a man had usually carried on his business at a coffee•house, and had not fre quented it to avoid his creditors, that was held to be an act of bankruptcy, Mr. HART submitted, that thi: was not an act of bankruptcy. Here the bank had been robbed, There were no assets in it, and, therefore, it was unnecessary to keep it open, as the bankers could not carry on their business. But no attempt had been made to shew that the bankers had been inquired for at their residences, and were denied ; or that they had absented thetissilves. The VICE-CHANIIELLOR.—The words of the' statute' are, " That if any person shall depart the maim, of keep house, or absent himself from his' or her place of, business, for the purpose of delaying hiS Bei cre ditors, that shall be deemed an act of bankruptcy," 1 am of opinion, that the White Hart Inn, - being, the place of business of these persons,- and. all. of them having shut themselves up, and absented themselves, it is an act of bankruptcy, subject, however, to exsJina t;on, because the cause of absence*Miy be oxplatileie.r COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, DE. S. WILLIS D. WALKER. This was an action- by an attorney to reinter the sum of 171. the amount of his bill for preplt ing •the deeds necessary to convey to the defendant a leasehold interest in a house at Chelsea. The defendant contended that he had only engaged to pay a moiety of the ex pense which he tendered to the plaintiff; who, never. theists, arrested him for the whole on a Saturday evening, directing the officer, however, that the party was a respectable man, and that he might take any bail offer ed. On the main point in the cause, whether the plaintiff was employed by the defendant on an understanding that he was liable to pay the whole of the expenses, contradictory evidence was given. The LORD CHIBT Miler, in summing up the evi dence, took occasion to express his disapprobation of the conduct of the attorney, in arresting a man of whose responsibility there aas no doubt, on a Saturday even ing, for so small a *sum ; but directed the Jury not to allow the feeling such a circumstance might excite to influence their verdict. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. RAMAT V. NAUMAN. This was an action on the case for falsely and deceit. fully representing a horse to be sound, which the vendor knew to be rotten. Mr. Nordin, for the plaintiff, stated that his client was induced in September, in the last year, to.purchase a horse of a groom of the defendant, for Sa. on a re presentation that he was sound, except- a thickness in the wind. It proved, however, that the horse was dis eased and rotten, and in two months he died. The Learned Counsel admitted that, in this form of action, it was incumbent on him to chew that the defendant was aware of the condition of the horse ; end this he thought he should thew from circumstances which could not be mistaken. The sale and the representation of the groom were proved ; but the plaintiff's Counsel having totally failed in ,hewing that the horse was known to be unsound by the defendant, consented to be nonsuited. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dsciotaaa 6. ?HE ZING O. WM. STEPIERNs. This was an information filed by the Arrow:re GENERAL against the defendant William Stephens, for having an illicit soap manufactory in his premise', and for sending out and receiving quantities of soap with false certificates. The information was supported by the same Counsel and the same witnesses as were em ployed in a similar information, tried last week, in which Thomas Stephens was the defendant, and in which a verdict was recorded for the Crown. The case occupied the whole day. The TWEED atrived at Halifax on the Sth ult. with the Rev. Dr. berms, Bishop of Nova Scotia, and family, on board, after a passage of SS days, troth Falmouth.

FROW THE DUBLIN FREEMAN'S JOURNAL PP MONDAY. Saturday, Mr. 1. O'Gurman Mahon del.vered a message from •Mr. Maurice O'Connell to Mr. Leyne. The friend of Mr. O'Connell, jun. and Mr. Payne, the friend of Mr. Leyne, had several interviews together, but before three o'clock. Mr. Leyne declined t‘s meet Mr. O'Connell, jun. The two r ung Mr. O'Connells then proceeded to the Four Cnurts, in the hall of which, Mr. Leyne was walking, accompanied by his brother,l Captain Leyne, Mr. Twiss, and several other friends. The crowd passing by immediately recognized the Messrs. O'Connell, who re named fur a considerable time in the Court-yard. accompanied by st,rne friends, and walked along Usher's Quay, and round again to the Courts, followed by an immense assemblage of, persons, till at length the crowd became so nume rous, that Mr. Maurice O'Connell was induced, about three o'clock, to retire from the Court-yard, and shortly afterwards Mr. Morgan O'Connell rode off. About a quarter past three o'clock, Mr. &serif Moore and Mr. Farrell, with several peace officers. and a party of police, repaired to the Courts, and Mr. Leyne retired with the Sheriff to the Admiralty Court, where having remained for some time, Mr. Leyne, the Sheriff, and Mr. Sioddart, Police Magi*. trate, afterwards proceeded in a coach to Mr. Line's lodging. The crbwd in a little time gradually dispersed. Shortly, after ,the perfromances had commenced in the Theatre, Mr. Morgan O'Connell entered the 'rouse, and was immediately put under arrest, and conveyed to the Head Police Office.

ARIONA IRON AND COAL COMPANY. —A long ac count of the Meeting of Shareholders in this concern, held at the London Tavern on Monday, has been cir culated ; but the proceedings seem to us to amount to little more than crimination, uproar, and confUsion, terminating in nothing at all satisfactory either to the parties or the Public. The minority present were for blaming the Directors—the majority for praising them. The latter prevailed; the former demanded a ball. t, but a motion for adjournment was carried. SCRAM PACK= ACClDENT.— Thursday, as the City of Dublin steam-packet was on its way to Liverpo , 1, it ran foul of a schooner, and caused so violent a concus sion, that the gunwale and part of the bow of the packet was stove in ; a young man named Ryan, who was standing at the side, was precipitated into the sea; the works were immediately stopped, or he must have in evitably been drawn *under the paddles, and crushed to death ; a boat was hove alongside , and he was picked op in a state of insensibility. Being brought into the caboose, a number of persons gathereJ round him, and were using means for his restoration, when an explosion of surplus steam, applied to the culinary department, took place; the roof of the caboose and part of the paddle-box were blown off, and many of the passengers were scalded anal brUised, amongst whom one Gentle man, Mr. W. Evans, connected with a London Morn ing Paper, independent of having his legs and thighs shockingly scalded, very narrowly escaped being thrown overboard. This circumstance produced an 53iTersal panic amongst the crew and passengers, as it was feared that some accident had befallen the steam bailer; but on examination, it was ascertained that none of the works bad suffered the slightest damage, and everything having been set to rights, the packet was speedily got under , we gh, and reached her desti nation in safety on_the f Bowing morning.

FEMALE BR A VERT.—On the night of the 23d ult. the house of Mrs. Leslie, at Galtrim, county of Meath, was attacked by aging of ruffians, who having vainly at temred. to force the door, made an effort to gain an en trance by the windowi. The house having been pre viously attacked twice, a party of Police had been for some time stationed there for its protection; but what spews the correct information these fellows must have obtained. is, that the d ty previous to the attack, only, had the guards been removed. The reason al leged for the present attack is, that one of two females, who lodged with Mrs. Leslie, had identified some of the former depredators, and it is supposed their intention was to murder her, in order to destroy her testimony. On the attack being male, Mrs. Leslie (who is, we un derstand, an infirm widow) seized a loaded gun, and fired on the unmanly assailants. With the assistance of the two females lodged in the house, she placed a bed against the door to resist the shots of the banditti, and having stationed one of the women, armed with a churn dash, at one side of the window, took her own station at the other side. The first of the villains who attempted to enter after the window was broken in, met so warm a reception from the two females, that he made as pre cipitate a retreat as he could. Having defended the house for upwards of an hoUr in this courageous man ner, they at length compelled t!.e assailants to retire.
