THE RACE. The Duke of Leeds's Masquerade colt made the play on the inside, and kept the lean into the Dip; the running was taken up by his Graces Lisette filly, and maintained to the Red House, where she began to tall back, Tarrare lying in front of the others, and about two lengths behind the mare, always looking like a winner from beginning to end. The mare then ceased to snake running ; Tarrate took it up, never was headed, and won, by really being the best horse in the race, by half a length. Bedlamite came up almost to Tarrare's head, and ran him from rather below the Distance till opposite the Grand Stand, where he died away ; Mulatto, from Sam. Day's fine riding, was second ; and if Tarrare had stopped in the least, and had not been a very superior horse, would have won ; Paul Pry was the first horse beat; Belzoni began to tire before he was over the hill, and at tbe Red House lulh. would not have brought him to the leading horses. The Dragon was also (lead heat at the same place. Crusader tan to the end of a mile very fine, and beat the Dragon fifty yards. The ground was heavy and slippery, which no doubt was in favour of Tarrare, from his being so powerful an animal. There were only two placed, but RAl:mite was third, and excepting these three, Tarrare, Mulatto, and Bodlamite, nothing had a chance from the Distance. There was a moment when every one expected Bedlamite was coming up to win. All the rest were very had ; none of the south country horses had the least elion(ee from the Red House. The General, of which so much has been said, west no where, and we really think that the south country horses may give up all thoughts of the St. Leger. We are happy to add that the horse that won will not cause much conxternation in the market, as regards settling. Ile was well jockied by George Nelson.

This sport, w h ich s fair to become a favourite one in Landon, was renewed in the bowling-grcro of the Eagle Tir:crn in the City-road. Seeerdl good matches were played ; but the Chief at traction of the day was Abraham Cann, the Devonabite champion, who wlegtled with two Cornishmen. both of whom he threw with ease, aid made himself a double player fur the following day, when he will be better matched. THIRD DAY, WEDNESDAY. Some single matches were played in the forenoon, and four more names were added to the list of double players. About half-past two i'cleeit the double players were called on. Lee. Deena, and Glanville. Conthh, were the tint, when Lee was thrown a decisive fall, being the only one given. Panlew, Cornish, and Batstone, jun., Devon, were the next. Bannone was soon thrown. . _ Bowden, Crrnish, and Tilk, Devon. next entered, and nftcr a severe struggle and several falls which were not decisive, and which lasted one hour and two minutes, 110 Aden was thrown decisively. (Great applause from the Devonian's.) Warren, Cornish, and Scott, Dcvon, we•c next, when Scott was almost instantly thrown. ((treat shouting by the Cornishmen.) Moyle, Cornish, and Gill, Devon, were alkwest their throws. in consequence of Thomas Cann, Devon, having hurt his shoulder, and ltatstone, sten., being absent. Ralph, juo., Cornish. and Boyle, Devon, then entered. Ralph was a small man, and Boyle a remarkably stout well-'srown man, hut ►as thrown by Ralph, after three-quarters of an hour's play. (Great applause from the Cornishmen.) Abraham Cann, the Devon champion, and Middleton, also a Devonian, then entered. Middleton played cautiously, but was thrown in about seven minutes. _ ...... Julian, Cornish, and Chaimle, jun., Devon, came next. Julian was an elderly man, but a good one, and threw his man in about one minute. ...... happle, sen., Devon. was allowed his throw, on account of Decble, his opponent, a Cornishman, not being present. Symonds, a Cornishman, and Viney, a Devonshireman, soon settled their business. Symonds was thrown. The double play being now ended, the triple play began with Warren, Cornish, and Gill, Devon, when Gill was thrown. Glanville, Cornish, and Viney, Devonshire, then catered.—Viney was thrown. Abraham Cann (Devonshire Champion) and Pardee:. a Cornish man, were next called on. Pardew 'mired himself a difficult cus tomer. and kept Cann busily employed Mr ten minutes before he was thrown. Pyle, a Devonshireman, and Ralph. a Cornishman, both well matched and excellent wresilers.—Ralph was thrown. The sport was now obliged to be concluded owing to night coming on, and, much to the regret of the numerous spectators, was adjourned to one o'clock this day, when the quadruple play wall be commenced. THE BRITISH PRESS. IMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY. A Meeting of the Scripholdera of this Company vets livid yester day, in pursuance of a motion carried at the Meeting held on the Pith inst., under the impression that some of the Directors would attend, in order that they might meet the charges brought against them. No Director appearing, A Clerk of Mr. Norcutt, the Solicitor to the Company, stated that he had received a letter froth his master, in which he informed him that he bad been taken suddenly ill with an attack of cholera morons, and he was not able to attend. He also :informed the Sleeting that he had received a letter from Mr. P. Moore, oho de• dined attending; and as the Secretary (Mr. Lane) was obliged to keep out of the way, as a writ was out against him for the debts in• cuffed on the part of the Company, he did not see how any legal meeting could be formed. Air. W. CLAW( asked if the persons present were to understand that the Directors had absconded P The Clerk said they ought perhaps to be presents but could not answer the question. A (Unhurt? here arose as to finding a person as Chairman, but finally Mr. W. Clark was chosen. The CHA II XAs stated, that this must be considered as a Meet ing of Seripholdere, and all they could do would be to pass resolu tions eeuaunng the conduct of the Directors. Mr. A wnaswe stated, that ire came there in order that a contra diction might be given on the part of Mr. Mackinnon, of Hyde Park-place, to the assertion that he had accepted a Directorship. That Gentleman, who was now in France, had authorized him to attend the Meeting, in order to state that Mr. al. had had nothing to do with the Company. He had no knowledge that his name was in the list of Directors, until he saw the report of the proceedings of the last Meeting. Mr. Noecuit's clerk objected to producing papers, doubting the Imlay of the Meeting, when Mr. Clark vacated the chair in favour of Mr. Furman. The clerk still refused, and then Mr. Clark moved a series of resolutions expeeseive'of their disapprobation of the con duct of the Directors; and, finally, a Committee was appointed for the purpose of adopting legal measures for the benefit of the parties interested. NEW SURGICAL OPERATION ON TEETH. TO THE EDITOR OP Tilt BRITISH PRES& St a,—lt is very natural that our prejudices should make us hesitate to adopt a proposed novelty, especially when it concerns our own persons. Your Correipondent of yesterday, " A. 8.," very modestly states what he conceives difficult to understand as an advantage in the " New Surgical Ope ration on the Teeth," which appeared in the British Press of the preceding day, and appears to seek further informa tion respecting it. If you will allow me, Sir, I will endeavour to remove his scruples. I have thoroughly examined the basis on which that operation is founded, and am perfectly convinced that, however it may be opposed, it must come into general use. The simile chosen by "A. 8.," the finger, has no analogy with the structure of the tooth. There is in the tooth a certain expansion of nervous matter con tained in a bony enclosing or cavity, the openings into which are exceedingly minute. If the walls of that enclo sure be broken down, the matter exposed is not capable of bearing any pressure, on account of the great pain which that pressure occasions ; consequently that opening cannot be stopped up. Here is a very delicate pulpiform, highly sensitive material, exposed by disease to dangers, from which, in a healthy state of the parts, it is protected. The " new operation" removes the whole of this exposed ner vous expansion by cutting off on a level with the edge of the jaw the whole of the crown or body of the tooth, of course including the whole of the cavity in which the nerve is expanded. As before said, the openings by which the nervous twigs pass to become expanded arc exceedingly minute—so minute that you cannot in the adult tooth pass a fine needle into them ; therefore, admitting the parts to remain in slutu quo after the removal of the crown, only a very minute nervous surface could be exposed to danger, namely, the end of the minute twig in the centre of the fang ; but even this does not happen. The divided twigs, like all minute vascular and nervous structures in other parts of the body, contract immediately after a division by force ; consequently the nervous twig shrinks below the sur face of the stump Into the little canal, and is thus tempo rarily protected from injury. A curious process, however, soon goes on to render it peratanently protected. An ex -dation of bony matter takes place from the surface of the stump, immediately round the mouth of this little canal, similar to what happens in fractures of other bones (for the tooth below the enamel is a bone),! and thus plugs up with an unyielding substance the canal. I have seen a stump thus secured, anti it is a very curious anatomical fact. Of the operation be ing without pain I caq speak with confidence; I have taken three friends of mime to Mr. Fay, at considerable in tervals, and they iteguteesie that theiiemetion excited by the operation did not amount to pain. 1 would have it immediately performed on myself, were it required. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that it is intended entirely to supersede extraction ; there are, and always will be, occasionally cases requiring the whole tooth to be pulled out • but these cases arc comparatively rare, in consequence of the greater number of diseased crowns to diseased fangs of teeth; this operation being only applicable when the body of the tooth is hollow and painful, ant where at the same time the fang is sound, which is the case in the great majority of cases, as every surgeon of experience knows. The want of discriminating this point has led some M.D. to make some very , fretful and incorrect strictures on this operation in a Morning Paper, from which it is clear he knows nothing about it. I hope, Sir, that this popular and untechnical explanation may satisfy " A. B." and your other readers. Yours respectfully, A SURGEON. THE L.4TE STORM. [From a Liverpool Paper.] We noticed last week the loss of some vessels in the storm of Wednesday night week. At the same time there was a report in circulation that some vessels from Ulver stone had also been lost, but as it was possible they might have reached some port in safety, we declined noticing the rumour. It appears that during Wednesday five vessels left Ulverstone in company, viz. the Town of Ulverstone, 93 tons, Capt. Hewitson ; Royal Oak, 70 tons, Capt. Dick inson ; Ike, Captain Robinson ; Sally, Captain Lightfoot : and the St. George, Capt. —, all for Liverpool except the Bee, which was bound to Lancaster. During the prevalence of the gale they parted company ; the St. George, not being able to reach Liverpool, ran into Ileaumaris, where she remained until the weather enabled her to come round, and be arrived here safely on Saturday week. The Sally was driven on shore near Rosaal Hall, where she still remains, and it is doubtful whether she will be got off; and with regard to the other three, via. the Town of Ulverstone, Royal Oak, and Bee, there is every reason to fear that they are lost, with all on board ! A vessel was seen early on Thursday morning at anchor off Hoy lake, in a most perilous situation, and in a short time she sunk. It is supposed that this vessel was the Royal Oak, as the body of a lad was picked up at Iloylake on Sunday morning, who was known to have belonged to her. There wire on board the Royal Oak several passengers, besides the crew, not one of whoa weer, saved. She belonged to Mess's. Winram and Co., of .L'lverithne. A quantity of goods have been washed on shore at the Point of Ayr, which from the description would seem to have been part of the cargo of the Town of Ulverstone; and a boat, which is identified as having belonged to that vessel, was picked up near the Lighthouse on Tuesday night: so that there is very little doubt but she has ihared the fate of the former vessel. We understand there were 12 passengers on board when she left Ulverstone, of whom, as well as of the crew, no tidings have yet been heard. She was only a few months old, and was owned in part by Capt. Hewitson, a man very deservedly respected. The Bee, which sailed with the above vessels from Ulverstone, has not been heard of; and it is ilso feared that she and her crew have shared the same disastrous fate as the others. Within the tart few days the masts of one of Iwo vessels have been seen' standing some distance out of the water, near the floating light; but whether they belong to any of these vessels, or some others, it was impossible to determine. There is no longer any doubt, we regret to say, that the two vessels which are Sunk near to the floating-light, are two of the three Ulverstone traders men tioued above. The Town of Ulverstone was a schooner, or galtiot ; and an attempt will be made to raise her, the owner having ar rived to superintend the work. 'fhe following are given as the names of passengers known to have been on board of the Town : Mr. Thomas Fel!, of Ulvcrstone,eabiner-esker, who has left a family ; Mrs. Eccles, the wife of Captain Eccles, of 1.1 and her two daughters o ne of whoa was married Al= net, daughter of Mr. Bennet, gardeaer, Ulverstone t Ai re , c o wm e n, of Liverpool, an old woman, 7fi years of age ; Alice Dion, m id bee daughter, Sarah Dunn, Si Liverpool; making 13 sufferers en bawd the Town. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, SEPT. 20. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Wm. Ilnycr was indicted for asttatiltine. on the 18th of Jultr, Frances, the wife of J. Howell, oh the King's highwoy, and taking from her person lie. and othh articles, her money and propert. The Jury, under the direction of the Court, acquitted the pri soner. - HIGHWAY ROBBER/ AND AIDING FELONS. Catherine Parinenter, Sarah Jarvis, and IV. Sturdy, were in dicted, the two former with assaulting Alyysiva Last, on the King's highway, and stealing from his person a watch, and Sturdy with assisting them after they had committed the said felony. The prosecutor stated, that on the day noted in the indictment he was near Euston-scpare, when he was assailed by several womol, who took his witch from him ' • he pursued the prisoners to a hostile at a distance from the spot, an d in his pursuit he was detained and molested by the male prisoner ; he got away from Sturdy, but he followed him a'l knocked Wm down ; the female prisoners got away, but all of them were taken up next morning after the robbery has never recovered Ills witch ; is certain that the prisoners are the same persons ; never doubted it. James Proctor, a lad about 14 years of age, stated, that on the 24th of August he was in Lisson-street, wion V. saw Sturdy holding Mr. Last round the waist, and another perwit kndtked him down ; he got up and pursued the prisoner Parmenter. James Gibbs, a police officer, stated, that Sturdy and the woman Parmenter cohabited together ; when he went to their house to ap prehend them, .I,trvis went under the bed to hide herself; all the prisoners were there, and immediately the prosecutor said, " These are fist parties." Mr. Sergeant ARABI)/ told the Jury that they might put the case of Sturdy out of ecmsideration, at; he could, not be convicted under the present indictment; he (met to have been charged as an accessory after the fact. The Jury Itquitted Sturdy, and red:riled a verdict of Guilty— Death against both the other prisoner.. The prisoner Sturdy was ordered to be detained till the next &anions, and the witnesses bound over ttl prosecute. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT IN A DWELLING-HOUSE. Thomas Hall wa• indicted for stealing, on the 9th of August, 1741., in Bank notes, the propels, of E. Allen Esq..,and Elizabeth Hall, his wife, was indicted for receiving a 1 001. note, part of the same, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. ALLEY stated the case tor the prosecudam Be said, as the female was the wife of the other prisoner, he should press nothing against her. The unfortunate woman burst into tears, and was indolgod with a chair. Emanuel Allen, Esq. stated that he is a Solicitor„ living inWest minster ; the nude prisoner was employed in his house as clerk to his son ' • on the 9th of August he had Bank notes to the amount of 1701. er 1751. in his possession, which, on that day, he supposed lie had locked up in his cash box ; there was a note for 1001., another for 501., and four or five for W. each ; witness stated of whom he took the larger notes ; on the Saturday following the ,'tit, witness went to his cash box, and for the first time missed the money ; the prisoner had been absent from the office two days before the dis covery. By Mr. ANDREWS—Witness does not know that on thc 10th of August Slr. liilbee, a principal, had words with the prisoner, and told him he ought to be turned out of the office. George Pettit Allen examined—On the 9th of August he. re ceived a 1001. note from Mr. Gilbee, his partner, which he paid to his father (the last withesa) on the same day. By Mr. A xuarws—The house where witness and partner do business belongs to his father. . . . Mr. J. P. 'bee proved that be received the 1001. note from Mr. J. Humphreys on the 7th, and gave it to the last witness on the 9th ult. In his cross-examination, witness said that he hid some words with the prisoner, but never threatened to turn him away—there are several other clerks in the office. Josiah Humphreys stated that he paid a 1001. note to last wit- ness, as he had deseribed—witness took a MI. note on the 7th from Messrs. Hoare and Co. Fleet-street, which he gave to the same person. John Ward—ls clerk in the house of Marten and CO., bankers, Bond-street—on the 7th of August he gave a 100/. note for a cheek drawn by Mr. Jay—the No. is 4,103. Thomas Edward Kingston, a clerk in the Bank of England, produced the 1001. and 50/. notes—the 1001. was brought to the Bank by the female prisoner—she received 70 sovereigns and 301. in notes—she gave her name as Robinson, living in Tlteobald's•road —has no doubt but the female prisoner is the person. Mr. Morton is clerk in the employ of Allen and Gilbee. On the 9Ca of August, on returning from. dinner, he found the prisoner alone; witness said to him that be had been out and collected 3111. ; prisoner then said that he had got 1501., and afterwards 1701., and showed it ; witness inquired where he hat got it, and said he sup posed he was going to pay it for a commission of bankruptcy ; he said, " No;" witness then asked how he came by it ? he said he found it on the desk, and he took it because it might have been lost. Cross-examined—Witness did not tell Mr. Allen, because he said on the 9th he would give notice to Mr. Allen ; the prisoner left the office in the afternoon of the 1011%. By Mr. ALLEY—The moment I discovered the robbery I told him all I knew. Richard Price lives at No. 5, tt. Ann's Court. near the house of the prosecutor. The prisoners lodge at his house, which they quitted on the 10th of Augtatt. William Taylor lodged in the same house with the prisoners ; on the night of the 117th the male prisoner came home much irtoxi cated. He heard a conversation between the man and his wife, which he could not understand ; he said something about an accu sation brought against him that afternoon. Afterwards heard money laid on the table, when the female expressed her surprise, and inquired how he came by it. Witness had the curiosity to get out of bed to listen more minutely—heard Hall tell his wife he meant to leave London, and it sae no business of hers how he came by the money; the female said she would not accompany him, and begged hint to take the money back, and not defraud such kind employers. Cross-examined by Mr. Al.:Dimwit—Did not then know who they were in the roam. because they were nee.come lodgers ; is positive he is not mistaken. Joseph Downell. a silversmith, in the Borough, proved that a person like the male prisoner made a purchase at his shop, and paid a 5/. note. _ _ Cross.examineti—Saw him neat time at Marlborough.street ; did not see a miniature painting before he went there; knew the pri. loner to be the man who purchased the watches. J. Thomas. a llow.streci patrol, took the male prisoner into cus. tody near the Marsh Gate, on the 23d of August ; nothing relating to the charge was found on him. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE summed up the evidence, and ob served, that the question was, whether the male prisoner was and, if so. whether he was guilty of a capital felony? That he did not take the notes with a felonious intent appeared from the fact of his having revealed the circumstance to another clerk ; and it fur titer appeared, that Mr. Allen had, by a mistake, left these notes upon the desk, when he thought he had locked them up in his cash box. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and [hen returned a ver dict of Guilty of Larceny only, thereby acquitting him of the capi tal part of the charge. NEW COURT. James Harger was indicted for stealing a quantity of silk, the property of John Henry Alschin, his master. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was in his employ as porter. On the morning of the llth September he found a quantity of silk in a part of the warehouse where it should not have been. Suspecting it was placed there for some improper purpose, he left it where he found it ; and on going afterwards to the spot, dis covered that it had been removed. He afterwards found it in another part of the warehouse, tied up iu a handkerchief, winch he believed belonged to the prisoner. He sent for an officer ; upon which the prisoner said he was a lost man, and he did not care what became of him.—Verdict, Guilty. Jacob Mcc was convicted of embezaling several sums of money, received by him on account of George Owen, his master. Abraham Fgralcr was indicted for stealing a watch, the property of J. G. Emmett. The prosecutor stated that lie was walking through the Strand when a procession of the members of the Cabinet-makers' society was passing. The pawner pressed against him very closely, and he immediately felt his watch taken from his pocket. On his cross-examination, the witness stated that his eyesight was so defective he could not identify the prisoner when hs saw him afterwards.—Not Guilty. POLICE. RIO DE LA PLATA AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. Itisarstow.House.—Yesterday a Mr. Gottenil appeared at the Justice Room; to prefer a complaint against three of the Trustees of the Rio de la Plata Mining Aaseetation. Mr. Barber Beau mont having had intimation that it was Als..Cotterell's intention to apply to the Lord Mayor, upon the subject of some disappointment experienced by those who had pat their faith in the neonate given of the advantages arising from as emigration to Southern America, sent hie agent to hear the stamment, and to answer it. Mr. anent'', statement was as follows r—The Aeseelation had been established by a number of gentlemeo etveepecability ; amongst them were those against whom Mr. Cotterell had found It necessary to bring an accusation of a very aerksoansture, via. the Trustees, Sir John E. Harrington, Bart., Sir George Duckett. But., and J. T. Barber Beaumont, the last of whom Was also Chairman of the Company. The Prospectus stated. in Its very first paragraph, that one of the objects of the Association was to remove pan of the un employed agricultural labourers of Great Britain and Ireland to the settlements of the Assoelaioo is South America, and to esta. blish them there as independent fanners. In September, 1825, Mr. Cotterell was induced, by the great advantages held out by that prospectus, to join the Conipenf i a s tai embarked for what they called their settlements at Entre m en independent settler, having first paid for his own and his Met a mistime. They arrived at Ensenada de Baragnu the 19th of December, and fret that period all provisions or seeaddoodadon were denitd lie had been promised a shame of the extensive territory alleged to be In possession of the Company, but not an inch of nd had he ever seen of theirs. Indeed it would have beets a difficult matter, far land they had never been possessed of. In fart, they had tot patronised - a tittle of theirpledge to the 400 or SOO unfortunate per , sone wbo were tleltuled by the hope of a prosperous result to the en. tap*. In this extremity he applied to the British Consular • Buenos Ayres for protection, and stated that the Agents had ma fused to send tip to the settlement ; but the Artits declared, be. fore the British Consul, that the Company had re land. Now 164 had paid 17U. to the Agent in h;ngland of this Company for leg acres of the promised lend, and the passage of hitmieh", his eon, and his brother, to the place of destination ; and all Coil money, rebre property, amounting to altogether between Mr, sled had disappeared, and no satiefaction.had been rnede. Tho Loan MAYOR.- By what sort of conveyaece w.a this pri perty made over to you ?-Mr. Coutred-By none. We were promised an enclosed faint, atoeked rah cattle. W e s o r t u pas, thajprownise, and the whole is a most gross delusion. The Loan NIA von-Are you &Shareholder plebe Company Mr. Cotterell answers d in the affirmative. The LORD 111 Avon-Then I feat that putts an end to Wes business. Mr. flobler-Was not the ship in which yon tailed taken M blockade on your passage ?.-Mr. Cotterell-No; the blockade did not take piece until some time after our ship arrived in the Him. Mr. Iloticr-Were you nut stopped by the Po/tug:nu P-Mr. Cotterelt-Not at all. Mr. Hobler-1 ask this question because I heard from a fries* of mine, who has been urfoi unate enough to be a SharehAdes hs this Association, that a son of Mr. Barber Beaumont has been, 1 believe is still, in that enndi.ion. Of the fact that Mr. Beaumont has sent out his own son there is not the slightest doubt; aid I helieve that his being blockaded there is as little ream* io questior. The Loan Mawoe-1 see no ground for supposing, A what has been stated, that the money was obtained unite: tabs pretences. Mr. Ilobler-My unfor.unate friend Ftatts that the AeMellialea have land, God koows to what extent, hundreds of miles = °fine quantity of success which may he attained they certainly could not speak with any degree of cerainly. CA laugh.) Mr. Cz'tterell-These men received 100 dollars a head from tog settlers fear the passage, al.(' paid but a small pin of that to its Captain of the vessel. They pocketed the teat. The Loan hiss - oft-(.'an you prove that ? Mr.Cotterell-ek is well known and publicly rise td at Buenos Ayres. The Loan Nl•vort-I cannot fake public report as evidence. As you have .been disappointed in yiier h bets, it is but pained that you should feel severely at a disappoints ant of so serious a nature, and express )ourself strongly. But yrti must see I sanest act in this matter. 31r. Cotterell-Nly Lord, I can produce witnesses who CY reed theme, and other facts. • The Loan 31 ;VOR-Who have returned besides yourself? Mr. Cot terel!-No more than one person besides myself. The Lunn Nl•von-Why not ? Cotterell-For the bet.. of reasons, my Lord ; leans* they could not. The Loon Matoe—What is the errdition of the settlers? 31r. Cotterell.---31o:A deplorable. They are now for the great part slaves. The LORD 31 aro ri —Slaves ? Mr. Cotterell—Yet, my lased. The Agents in South America have refused to assist the it. They wcr,; ithout the means of subsistence, and were landed over to proprietors in Buenos Ayres as Redertiptlini., a. They had not paid their passage money, and (Nei are now espoused to servi tude fig; years. The LORD MAYOR—If this be the fact the case is a very Krim one indeed. Mr. Cotterell—lf is the fact. The LORD MAYOR—Thin is upon the old plan of settling—that which took place at Maryland. Had you seen the Trustees against whom you complain before yon set eut upon your espedition ? Mr. Cotterell—Yes, my Lord. On the 21st of Ai.gust, 132.1, a Meeting took place at the County Fire Office, to a Inca the new settlers were invited, and Mr. Barber Beaumont rose amongst them, and said, " Fellow-countrymen, in consequence of the very deplorable condition of the mechanics and Manning poorof this country and l!r,eland, I anti several of my friends have deterrnioed to subscribe a capital of 1,000,00 h/. f•r the encouragement of eThi gyntion to the flourishing country of South America, and everyman who joins shall have 50 acres of laud, whether he pays his passage or not." This was the language of encouragement held out to the poor labouring and industrious ;:nglisii. The Loan 31aeon—I perceive by the prospecrus.thatehere. holders in ~ .be cayital of the Association are entitled to receive pos session of 3d acres of land, 39 head of cattle. and 50 sheep, on the credit or each share paid up. I need not ask you whether you ever saw any of the cattle or sheep? ? Mr. Cotterell—Cattle or sheep ! I can ;rove that the Association had not a single head of cattle or e sheep in the world, and that they had not an inch of ground. The LORD MAYOR—StiII, if these gentlemen entered upon an undertaking seriously, and with a good intentioo, they are not answerable for unfortunate consequences. 1 do not think that I can interfere. Mr. Holder—lf Mr. Cotterell can show that there was a comp'. racy, he can Indit:t the Directors ; but I apprehend that s ould be a Uitticult matter. ,I am told that Mr. Beaumont has vtntut.sl at least 10 or 12,0001. in the spec ulation. 31r. Cotterell—They hive made infinitely more money in the speculation than that, every one of them. They have realised caw mous stuns by the delusion. Mr. Peake, Agent to the Association in this courury, upset being asked by the Lord Mayor whether he had any ohservatiot.s to make upon the subject, addressed his Lordship. 3lr. Cotterell'a state- Went had, he said, been made merely in order that the public prints might show up the Association. That object would irobably be completely gained; but at all events it should no4go forward with. oat Its antidote, a Rat denial of the truth of its haling features. The charges were undoubtedly of a very serious nature. With respect to the praeticability of moving up the river to the settle., ment, it was totally out of the question. \Viten the Thalia, in which vessel Mr. Cotterell sailed, entered the river, the blockade commenced, and it war impoisible to convey her or the other ships to their destination without danger cf being taken by the Brasilian fleet. Of Course the Association could not give the land which had been promised, as those who had claims were not able to take it. The assertion that the Association was posseued cf no land was without the slightest foundation. He had last night seen the title deeds. The Loon Maeort—By whom was the land assigned? Mr. Peake-4ly the several proprietors, the Lords of the Manors. The Lon°Arox—How much land is in the posscsitn of the lissociation? _ Mr. Peake—.l do not know. but I have every reason to think that they are owners of thousands of acres. Mr. Peake in continuation said, that the decli ration that the settlers were sold is quite erroneous. There were 400 or 500 of them at Ensenada. It was impossible for the Association to pcss them up to the proper territory, for the reasons he had stated. The poor men could not be supported in Idleness by the Association ; they were not interfered with, and were at liberty to do as they pleased. Some of them, in consequence, hire.: themselves to resi. dents in the country. The Association would be enabled to con. elude all its engagements, and every opportunity would be given to the settlers to benefit by the advantages which would present then:. selves in the new settlement. The Loan MAYOR said, that Mr. Peake had stated that the complaint had been made merely for the purpose of being shot.a up in the Newspapers. He (the Lord Mayor) never entered upon un investigation for any other than the purposes of justice, and the Newspapers were certainly at liberty to state the parliculars, or to let them alone; he erd rot interfere with them. With respect to Mr. Cotterell, it appeared that he had paid a considerable sum of money for his passage, and that he went out at great risk of pro. perty, upon the faith of promises which had not been performed. It was said that the contract had not been finished in consequence of the blockade of the ships ; now, whatever might be the effect of the blockade, the law would, he had no doubt, consider that con. tract.binding. He did not believe that the Directors and Trustees had any criminal intention, but they mere certainly liable to a civil action. 31r. Pemba said that Mr. Catterell had put an end to all chance from a rivil action by a receipt which he had given for a morn. imam he had received. 31r. Ptake then banned in the receipt, which was as follows: "* Beet iv, d of J. T. B. Beaumont the sum of 45!. returned to me as part of my deposit in my share in the KM de is Plata Agricul tural Association, I having preferred not to proceed to the settle ment, and abandoned my claims to the advantages offered the. PETY:It COTTELELL. " January 3,1826." The LORD MAYOR (to Me. Cotterell)—Why, it appears that you have abandoned your claims ?—alr. Cotterell. That is but a my Lord. I certainly have, ;:s far as regards my share, but not as regards my other claims. The Lour. MAYOR (to Mr. Peake)—Pray what do you say was the condition of the matlers when they got to Buenos Ayres?—Mr. Peaks. From the moment they got on board they were victualled numbers of them are to this utoment victualled at the expense of the Company. The Lotto MAYOR—Why were any of them sold? Mr. Peake—That is merely Mr. Cotterell's assertion. They have thought proper to make engagements there, and the Agent did not interfere. if the Agent has been guilty—and there is to proof that he has—the Trustees are not to blame. Mr. Cottcrell—l declare most positively that all assistance was refused; my soli, and brother, and myself, were refused a triere.el from the time we entered. Mr. Peake—liecat;e you said you could support yourselves, enl insisted upon acting ;n an independent manner. Mr. Cotterell-1 can prove thac Mr. Beaumont was detennint d to persecute me, in consequence of a letter which appeared in the Times newspaper, and which he ascribed to me. I can, my Lead, if you will be good enough to postpone this cue, being forward that Captain of the ship and others, to show that the Association has not an inch of land. The Loaf) Msvon—flow ran you prove that? Mr. Cotttrell—From the admission of the Agents before the Bri. • tint' Consul. The LORD MAYOR—That evidence will not be sufficient. Mr. Peake (to Mr. Cotters l))—You have got your wish now, in having your complaint before the public. and you are likely to get little by it. The public can judge between you and the Alltatille lion. The Trustees entered upon the *peculation with as honour. able intentions as ever influenced any men. You say that money was made by the passage. The fitting out of the Thalia cost 5,000 W and not more than 511(1/. wasreeeived as passage money. le is ridiculous to think that men who are engaged in other concerns of the highest character would be guilty of the enomiities charged against the Trustees of the Association. The Lotto NIATOR—I am bound to say that, in my opinion, there is no proof given of bad intention. (To Mr. Cotterell)-11 am sorry that you were induced to risk your property. You have been
