Yesterday, a Meeting of the Shareholders of the U Royal Staonary" Joint Stock Company was held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Committee appointed at a former Meeting. Mr. BLARE was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN stated, that they had taken the opi nion of the Attorney General, Mr. Tindal, and Mr. Pollack, of the Common Law Bar, and of Mr. Knight, of the Chancery 13 .r,as to the practicability of recovering their deposits by legal proceedings. The Learned Counsel were of opinion, that any original Shareholder might maintain an action at common law for the re• covert' of his deposits; but they doubted whether any one who purchased subsequently could recover. Mr. Knight, the Chancery Barrister, was, however, clearly of opinion, that those who were not original Share holders might obtain relief in a Court of Equity. The Committee recommended that proceedings should be taken, under the direction of Trustees appointed by the Shareholders. The Chairman added, that the Com tnittee possessed more information than they then deemed it m cessary to communicate. They yesterday met two of the Directors, Mr. Ahomy and Mr. Fhurney, who, not in their capacity of Directors, but as private individuals, made _a proposal that the affairs of the Company should be wound up, under the direction of three of the Committee and three of the Shareholders; t!'at their Mines should be sold, and the entire proceeds especially divided: but the Committee could not re commend the Shareholders to accede to this offer. Mr. Itormaxsow said, the reason the Committee did not think it advisable to accede to it was, that the Directors proposed to have all their expenses paid, so that they would get out of this unfortunate concern, by scaring all the profits, and the Shareholders would have the loses aad expenses equally divided amongst them=-(1 - 1ear, hear).—The Gentlemen who met the Director; had proposed to leave all their concerns to the decision of some Chancery Barrister of great emi nence, hut this offer was not received. Some of the Committee had ap, ointed to meet a deputation of the Directors, but he ( Mr. Robertson) entertained but litile hopes of any favourable accommodation. A Shareholder, then, at the suggestion of one of the Committee, moved, that five Trustees should be ap pointed to carry the recommendation of the Committee into effect, and take legal proceedings on behalf of the &tareholder s. Mr. KNIGHT, the Solicitor, stated, in explanation, that the - Shareholders who joined in the measure would make over their shares in a deed of trust, to tie persons who might act for• them. This course was recom mended to simplify the proceedings, save expense, and bring the matter before the Court with the greatest adv.tntage. Mr. Wit.tuat CLARK addressed the Meeting, and complained of having suffered much annoyance by having his name confounded with that of one of the Directors of the Arigna Iron Company. He promised at the next Meeting of the Arigna Company to manifest the distinction between himself and the Arigna Director. With respect to the present Company, he declared his conviction that the Directors were not such fools as to go into Court, if they saw anything like termination on the part of the Shareholders to get bait the deposits. Mt. Woonwman wished to know whether the Shareholders by purchase would be Included in the trust deed? The CWAIUMAN said, that the deed would be so framed as to bring in all the Shareholders, whether by subscription or purchase. The motion was agreed to, and the Trustees were named. Mr. Roaaarsolt said, it should be well understood t hat none but those who joined in the application would be permitted, or be able, to share in the advantage: derived from the application. That they could not *bare, every Solicitor could inform them decisively. It would, therefore, be of no use for persons to hang back, in the expectation that others would fight their battles free of expense. All who wanted to share in the pro. duce must join in the battle. A resolution was then passed, that no expense should be incurred beyond what is. 6d. per share would defray, without the sanction of the General Meeting being first obtained. A loop consultation took place on some accusations contained in an anonymous letter. It was stated that the shares would be the security for the expenses. Thad, were voted to t►e Chairman, and the Meeting separated. Letters from Berlin state, that the Ez-King of Swi m had arrived at Warsaw. INDEPINDINT GAS Cow/mt.—Yesterday a few per sons attended at Garraway's, in consequence of a no. 1 " that several of the sham in the Independent Gas tiimpaily were to be sold by auction. The sale was expected to take place at one o'clock. About tea mi- Lutes after that hour, Mr. Musottoyx, the auctioneer, euteted the room, and informed the cold assembly that lie ought to apologize to them for not having adver tised what had taken place with respect to the shares, of the sale of which he had given notice for that day ; bat he really had not had an opportunity. The fact sidis, the Gas Shares had been sold the day before. One If the meeting said, You may lick the box, Mr. Mus vicive. Mr. Nlosonovs replied, lam - if..any Gen- sorry den.an is disappointed, bui it was impossible for me to give notice of the sale that bas taken place.

Mr. Romet.t. moved in this case for an injunction ex-parte, to restrain Lord Darlington, his workmen, or agents, from digging any pit or shaft, or driving any edit or passage under the premises Mentioned in the bill, and from exploding gunpowder under or near the same. Tnis was an application, the Learned Counsel said, made on the part of the Marquis of Hertford, who was the assignee of a lease of the premises in question, which formerly consisted of an ancient messuage, and an adjoining bullock-shed in the centre of the Borough of Camelford. The bullock-shed had fallen into tuins, and on its site tie Noble Marquis had elected three cottages, and the ancient messuage being decayed. his Lirdship had repaired and added a story to it. The defendant, Lord Darlington, was cr.% nor of the fee, and there was a clause of reservation in the lease, by which he was entitled to dig or search for mines under the premises demised; and upon petence of carrying this purpose into execution, his agent had sunk a shaft within a few yards of the premises, and had carried an adi: under the erections, in which gun powder had been exploded, by which the cottages had been demolished. It was also stated in the affidavits; that there was no teal ground for supposing that there was ore or mineral on the premises. The Vioe-Caanost.t.oa said, be was not certain how far be had the jurisdiction to interfere in this case; but he thought it best to grant the injunction, on the under standing, that notice should be immediately ;jinx to the other side, in order that the question of jurisdiction might be argued, when the motion to dissolve the in junction came on. sift W. PILKINOTON IP. SIR E. DODSWORTII AND °TWIRL Mr. BARSZR moved on behalf of the plaintiff, that the Court would order to be paid to John Lee 10001. on account of law charges, out of the monies in the hands of the receiver in this cause. The pleadings stud& that tl sr deceased Sir Thomas Pilkington left large estates and legacies to different parties; amongst which there was a legacy to the plaintiff, Sir W. I'il kington, of 100,0001. He subsequently contested for the testator's estates in the year 1813, for the sum of 154,0001. and was then let into possession. A suit was tiled by the plaintiff for the due administration of the property, there being infants both then, and still, in terested, and one solicitor was employed for all parties. Until 1819 nothing further was done; at that period an infant became of age. and another bill was filed, calling upon the plaintiff in the first cause specifically to per form his agreement. A dispute then arose respect ing the right of the parties to the treatment of a river running through the estates ; there the case ended until a reeiiver was appointed. and an application made for 1,0001. to be paid to. Mr. Lee, as solicitor, which ap plication stood over to have it explained, how the plain tiff, Sir W. Pilkington, applied fur money to be paid to his solicitor, when co much was due to h'm as put. chaser. Mr. Barber now, upon renewing the motion, contended that Sir W. Pilkington never was in pos session as purchaser, but as trustee,. and that the rents and profits had been regularly accounted for, from the year 1813 down to this moment. At present he only prayed for a reference to the Jlaster,to enquire whether any money should be paid to the receiver on account of law expenes ? Mr. GAZILlief for OM party, u 4 Mr. Rom for another. op. posed the application. His HONOUR lea disposed to make the reference to the Mister, and therefore ordered it. He would not, however, pan with the case without saying, it was one in which it was the duty of the Court to make very strong animadversions on the conduct of solicitors, who thought proper to become concerned for parties having conflicting interests. It was quite clear that becau•e the same solicitor had been concerned fur the plaintiff, the purchaser, and the infant defendants, the vendee:, no step whatever had yet been taken to com pel the payment of 44,0001. into Court, which ought to have been paid in 1813, on account of the purchase. The plaintiff being a legatee for 100,0001. and a cre. ditor for his brother to the amount of 10,0001. there remained due on account of the purchase the above 44,0001. This case chewed demonstratively, that no solicitor ought to be allowed to act for parties circum- stanced as these were, and the Court hoped that it would be an effectual warning for respectable solicitors never again to attempt that which they could not ac complish, with justice to the Court, themselves, and their clients. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAll4.lllll' 17. D 3 51 ON THS DIMISS 01 THI BISHOP OF LONDON V. MARSHALL. This was an action of ejectment, brought by the Lord Bishop of London, to recover possession of a piece of land, situate on the North side of Hornsey Church. The question in this case was, whether or not the disputed piece of land must be considered as waste land, and therefore belonging to the plaintiff, as Lord of the Manor of Hornsey. or whether it was included in the copyhald tenement of the defendant? The inquiry lasted for a considerable time, and at length the Jury found for the plaintiff. Yesterday a Board of the Lords of the Treasury was MU in the Treasury Chambers. The Prince of °RANG& set out from the Hague, for St. Petersburg's, on the Sth inst. Monday sennight, Mr. FULLAM • of the Dublin stage, after singing a comic song, fell down in a fit on his way to the green.rooM, and instantly expired. The Directoti of the American and Colonial Steam Navigation company have resolved on paying their deposits (101. per share) in full. By the last accounts from the Cape of Good Hope, it appears that little has been done to check the progress of the Slave Trade in that part of the world: one vessel had been captured by the Lavaca, and anothet by the ARIADNII. off Madagascar, from which 149 slaves were liberated, 32 of whom subsequently died. A number of bodies were found on the beach, the Frenchmen having cruelly thrown them overbOard. These poor vic tims were cooped up in a vessel of only 80 tons, Which took in her cargo on the East Coast, and was bound to Bourbon. The French in these seas carry on the abomina ble traffic with as much vigour as ever, and almost with impunity. When the ARIADWI touched 'at Madagascar, on her passage home, the King, RADAMA IN was turning the French and Arabs from every part of the island, Dreadful fevers had carried off thousands of his troops. and many rebellions had taken place, which had been as many times quelled. He possesses a fine iu my, and a powerful adviser in the agent, Mr. MAST'S; without him he could do nothing. Ultimately he will possess the whole of this extensive island, which is a fine coun try, and will one day be of some importance, having harbours, and abounding with cattle and timber. __ANAL k•- ' • ilioggC§ -INTE : H __. • ' iITSTRIBUTION OF FRIZR-11ONFY.

EDINBURGH. Jas. 16. . Duddingston Loch presented, on Saturday last, a most interesting scene of animation and bnstk. The day was fine, with a clear sky and no wind ; and the crowds that resorted to the loch, either to enjoy the amusement of skaiting, or to witness the achievements of the skaiters, far exceeded anything we have yet ob served. At an early hour they began to collect, and as the day advanced, the narrow pathway that lead! along the side of Arthur's Seat was crowded with one dense and continued file of passengers, all eagerly pressing forward to the scene of amusement. The loch was crowded in every part, and once or twice, when a dense throng was collected round some of the skaiters, •the ice gave several ominous cracks. There were skaiters of all descriptions,from the awkward novice who goes floundering along, swinging his hands and body into all sorts of contortions to preserve an uncer tain balance, to those more dexterous and practised, who ft at in graceful circles, or execute the more ditfi- . cult and scientific evolutions of the art. Of the latter'' , :1 however, there were but few examples. Some members`:? of the Skaiting Club displayed ease and grace among , .! whom, Mr. Balfour, of Pilrig, Mr. Simpson, advocate,. I and Mr. Tory, Prince's-street, were perhaps most cos. spicuous ; but there was one Gentleman, in the dreatof • an Officer, whose science and skill excited general tie miration. He wheeled round and went through seem .- very difficult movements with peculiar facility and iwet ness. On the east end of the loch, the Duddiugstone , Curling Club, among whom were the Very;Reverand Principal Baird, D.. David Ritchie, Kr.Scunatorvillo. of Carrie, dcc. &c. eagerly contested the.;,poize gold medal, which was won by J. W. Dirdtson t gwa. allocate; there were various other curling piertiesAAWAGP.als. l 4 playing their game v ith great interest, —The .cpp.,. ; test was principally between that Gentleman, the flee., Mr. Sommerville of Currie, Mr. J. C. Wilson, and MA. Gracie. The ice was covered in all orts with fashionable parties of spectators, and their enjoyment was tarth r. heightened by the vslo minces of the bands of the 6th Dragoon Guards, and the 17th Regiment of. Foot, whose station among the rocks that overhang the western part of the I,4ch, was admirably chosen, with a view to picturegne effect. Thz number of people on the ice could not be estimated at less than five thousand. They con.isted of all classes; amo ig whom we observed Judges, Magistrates, PI otemors, Clergymen, Lawyers, Merchants, Clerks, & On the east shore of the loch about forty c irriages ere•,drawn up; and in var:nas parts of the ire, and on the banks, tents were erected, where whisky and gingerbread were copiously served out to such as chose 'hose elegant refreshments. The general erect was greatly aided by the beauty of the adja cent scenery; and we could not but remark, that early in the foie noun there was a haze in the atmosphere, which, enveloping Salis bury Crags' and Arthur's Seat, gave those magnificent heights a soft and shadowy tint of obscurity and distance, that was highly romantic and impressive. • THE WEATHER. The coachmen on the several roads, particularly on the western and northern roads, say, that they do nut remember a severer frog than they experienced on Sunday night and Monday morning. Those who re member that of 1814, when the Thames was frozen over, and booths raised on the ice, declare that they did not feel it so severely, it not having come on so sud denly. The houses and trees in the country had a singular appearance on Monday, owing to the combi nation of frost and fog, the trees, and fronts of houses, and even the glass being covered with thick white frost, and the glass being no more transparent than ground glass. Half the shops in many of the country villages were partially opened; shops that depended on 'hew ing their goods, found it useless to remove all the shutters, as the thick frost on the glass rendered it impossible for them to be seen.. The frost has also had a serious effect on many articles of food. Oysters are not to be obtained; at least. though a barrel may be wanted to mid into the country, the dealers will not warrant them. Many of the butchers, particularly in the suburbs, where the frost of course is felt more severely than in the metropolis, are obliged to keep their shops shut, in order to keep out the frost ; but many of them also carried the meat into their parlours, I and kept it folded up in cloths round the fire, and un folded it as their customers might come , in and require it. The market 'gardeners have also felt the severity of the weather —it has stopped their labours; many of the men, attended by their wives, are going about in parties, with frosted greens fixed at the tops of rakes ' aid hoes, and uttering the ancient cry of—" Remember the poor frozen slut gardeneek." The daily extremes of Sees thermometer observed, Seymour-place, Euston-squale, since the setting in o f the present severe frost r—Jannary 8, from 31 to 33; 9, from 23 to SI ; 10, from 21.5 to 30.5 ; 11, from 28 to 34 ; 12, from 18.5 to SO; 13, from 17 to 29 ; 14, from 16-5 to 26-5 ; 15, from 17 to 27 ; 16, from 15 to 26. '[he density of the atmosphere on Monday, whether for duration or intensity, has been seldom ex ceeded; and, united to the prevailing frost, and the unusual state Untie streets, leas, as might be expected, produced manic severe accidents ; but the wonder is, , that so few comparatively occurred. Carriages, in many places,were absolutely immoveable,simply by the horses not being able to feel the ground; while the darkness was so great, that no part of St. Paul's Cathedral was visible from the western railing. Cheap side, and the City generally, presented a scene of real desolation; and all the msnistactories and workshops. were obliged to use their full complement of night lights. 'ibis can hardly be repeated without bringing with it its natural remedy, and an abundant snow is hourly expected by the - weather-wise. Tne weather has since assumed every appearance of a change. Saturday, Mr. Henry Hunt, jun. betted one hundred guineas with a Noble Lord of sporting celebrity, that he would drive his father's blacking van and tour blood horses, yesterday at two o'clock, across the Serpentine, accompanied by his two servants. At an early hoar in the morning an unusual crowd was assembled in the Park, and Mr. Hunt was seen in his stanhope, trying the strength of the ice in, various places; but although it was rumoured . that some extraordinary performance was to take place, the particulars were known only to the friends of the parties, and a few of the scientific. A few minutes before two o'clock the van entered the Park. Young Mr. Hunt was dressed suitably to the occasion, with a white upper tog and cord kickseys ; be wore a regular four-in-hand tile, and had all the air of a swell slregsrears of the first water. He is a hand some young man; his countenance appeared flushed with confidence, and reminded us of his father 'mac years since, when engaged in enterprises -.ally dangerous, though of a deerent description. few minutes before the appointed time, he drove leo or three times up and down the grand drive, and upon the signal being given, he boldly pushed for the river ; his father, accompanied by some friends, had obtained an open space about the centre of the north bank, and Mr. Hunt preceded the van to point out the direction his son was to take. Young Mr. Hunt sheaved the greatest coolness; he kept the prods well together, and tooled them over the river in a style that would have done Sir John Lade no dishonour in his best of days, and left behind him many a patrician aspii ant to • foapin-isand celebrity.

Yesterday a number of the liegrs here amusing themselves with skaiting on the Clyde above the timber bridge. Between three and tout o'clock in the after. neon, a crowd of sp. ctators were assembled on the sides of the river, who seemed highly delighted weth the sport that was going on, and they frequently set up loud bursts of laughter at the amusing manseuvres. of tie dexterous, or the halls of the awkward or incautious sk.iters. The keeper of the Humane Society House has ran ropes across the Clyde in different places, to be ready in an instant in case of the ice acc:dentally giving way.—The frost is getting mere severe than it was at first. On Friday minting, at six o'clock, the therms. meter in Nelson-street indicated 24 degrees; but it was as low as 16 in the suburbs. ABERDEEN, JAMAS! 14, gnee our last, we have experienced the most rigorous part of the winter, which has set in with great severity. Thursday and Friday the snow, which lay previously to some depth on the ground, fell in thick showers, accompanied with a strong northerly wind, and drifted into such deep wreaths on some parts of the roads, as to impede travelling considerably, so that_ the mail coaches got forward with difficulty. To the westward. the roads are so much blocked up, that the Deeside mail has been forwarded on horseback for these two days, and should the weather continue so stormy as it at present threatens, the communication in all directions must soon be still farther interrupted, if not altoge. ther stopped. }
