On the removal of the cloth the conversation n aturally turned on balls, the only forced meat that had Dhaen seen belonging to that nomenclature, and Von ullbrainz, as usual, took the lead, and occupied the * hole field of discussion in his own proper person.

It is only when a violent or ill-timed article has created sensation that the editor receives a rebuke, and is desired either to avoid the subject in future, or to treat it in a mo re lenient fashion. The editor of the Augsb urg Gazette was summoned to Munich a b out three years ago for having published a letter from Athens, which stated that the king of Greece meditated a new journey to Bavaria for the benefit of his health ; and the Gazette was prohibited from inserting a single line from or respecting Greece for six weeks after wards. This rigour; occasioned apparently by so trivial a cause, but emanating really from grave rea sons, which did not meet the public eye, was how ever an exception to the general conduct of the Ba varian Government towards that journal, which, on account of its exceptional privileges and merits, enjoys the highest rank and consideration among its contemporaries throughout Germany ; and I under stand that Baron Cotta, the proprietor, informed the Minister on that occasion, that should the Gazette be again • subjected to vexatious interference, the establishment should be removed into Wurtemhurg —a threat which the Bavarian Government would regret much to see carried into execution for divers reasons, fiscal and political. The Augsburg Gazette may be said to be the representative of all Germany. It does not confine riself to the advocacy of any one set of opinions, but opens its columns as an arena for . thein'all. These are embodied in the form of correspondence, which is inserted without comment by the Editor, and in the same number of the journal opinions diametrically opposed to each other are therefore constantly to be met with in juxtaposition. This journal has the advantage of being in semi-official connexion with most of the Governments of Europe, which adds great weight to the influence of certain communications which appear from time to time in its columns, headed by peculiar hieroglyphic sym bols, to indicate their sources to the initiated in the mysteries of the editorial department. This system, and its concomitant advantages, give the Augsburg Gazette a character distinct from every other journal in Europe. The Wochenblatt of Berlin is a stanch defender of Prussian interests and policy. It appears but once in the week, as its name denotes, and may be considered as the antipodes of the Augsburg Gazette, inasmuch as it pretends to give no fr e sh news, but a review raisonnee of the events of the times. It is said that the late Minister Ancillon was not uncon- netted with the " redaction" of this paper. The Leipsic General Gazette ( Leipsiger Allgerneine Zeitztng), and the German Courier (Deutscher Courrier), published at Stuttgard, are the leading advocates of Protestantism and Constitutionalism, in opposition to the Political Gazette of Munich 111Uncheur Politische Zeitung), edited by Dr. Haler ; and the Wurtz&urg Gazette, which sig nalized themselves during the late Cologne contro versy as the zealous champi ons o f the ultramontane party in Germany. These papers, in representing their national or party opinions, are little or not at all influenced by their respective Governments, who seldom exercise any interference with them until called upon to en force moderation by the. Government that may be the object of attack; and these reclamations do not always produce the protective interference required. The Cologne question above referred to gives an instance of the extreme to which polemical warfare is allowed to proceed in Germany, when the passions or interests of the Courts are enlisted in the quarrel. The Wurtzburo Gazette was allowed for several months by the Bavarian Government to heap every species of contumely on Psussia, and did not spare even the person of the King in the acrimony with which it discussed the act of his Ministry in arresting the Archbishop. The repeated demands of the Prussian Government to have this paper silenced were treated with utter disregard by Bavaria, and the quarrel went so high, that the Prussian Govern ment took at length steps towards bringing its com plaint before the Diet. The intervention of Aus tria, who dreaded an " esclandre" in the Confede ration in such a trumpery quarrel, and possibly the fear that her own share in the Papal " allocution" might thereby be exposed to indiscreet examination, together with the reluctance of the Bavarian Go vernment to have its domestic concerns interfered with by the Diet, induced it at this extremity to command the editors of the Wurtzburg Gazette to use more delicacy in their mode of qualifying the con duct of the Prussian Government ; but they were neither punished, rebuked, nor silenced. This was all the satisfaction that Prussia obtained, and there the affair dropped. I cannot refrain from giv ing here the following illustrative anecdote of the King of Bavaria in connection *ith this affair. The Crown Prince of Prussia was expected a few months after the event at Tegernsee on a visit to his mother-in-law, the Queen Dowager of Bavaria. Considerable doubt had been entertained whether the visit would take place. El blood still existed between the two Courts which might embarrass the meeting of the august personages, when fortunately his Bavarian Majesty found on the table of a coun try inn, where he had stopped to change horses in one of his excursions, a copy of the Wurtzburg Gazelle, containing one of the anti-Prussian arti cles, which had occasioned so much diplomatic disturbance. The King, who read it for the first time, was not a little astonished at its violence, and sent immediate orders to Munich to have the Wartz burg censor dismissed, the amende honorable in vain demanded by the Prussian Government. whose late editor, M. Durand, now conducting at Paris the Capitole, a newly-established Govern ment journal, divided its columns for the joint be nefit of the Emperor of Russia and the King of the French. This paper being written in French, and the well-known bribery which supports it, render it too insignificant to be considered an organ of any opinions whatever existing in Germany. The best German newspaper, after the Augsburg Gazette, is the Leipsic General Gazette, which may be said to excel the former in the number and excellence of its correspondents in every part .of the world. Both these papers very seldom contain any editorial writing ; but leave their readers to judge for themselves from the various opinions and intelligence placed before them. They are both furnished with an appendix (beilage) to contain articles of higher pretensions and more durable character than those consecrated to matter of ephemeral interest. The first writers in Ger many are the general contributors to this branch of their journals, and Goethe, Schil ling, Schubert, Thiersch, and other illustrious names, have dignified these columns by their occa sional exercitations on politics, history, science, literature, statistics, Bcc. The principal s and per haps the only difference between the system of these two journals is, that the Leipsic Gazette is, as before stated, the organ of the Protestant and Constitutional party, whereas the Augsburg paper, though its edi tors are of the Lutheran confession, maintains a strict neutrality on all religious as well as political questions, excluding controversial leat, especially from the former—a line of conduct dictated by the policy of preserving the very great sale of the paper in the Austrian dominions, a sale amounting to one half of the edition. In this notice I have mentioned the Journals whose opinions have weight in Germany, and which may be considered as the organs of certain parties. The Nuremberg Correspondent, and the Swabian Mercury (Schwabische Merkur), the first a Ba varian, the other a Wurtemburg Paper, with a host of provincial prints, are but a reproduction of the leading ones that we have mentioned, and what ever original matter they may contain is confined to local affairs. The Carlsruhe Gazette deserves exception from this category, from the authentic sources of its occasional correspondence, especially from the East. The Austrian Observer (GEstrei chische Beobachter), and the Vienna and Prussian Gazettes, correspond to the Parisian Moniteur, being receptacles for Government decrees and ad vertisements, and have no politic a l c h aracter be yond the official one given to them by their Go vernments. In each of the principal cities of Germany there is published a multitude of small daily and hebdo madal journals, devoted to the discussion of belles lettres, science, and art. Some of these (the Dida scalien, for instance) are edited with considerable talent, and contain papers worthy of publications of a less fugitive character. The Ausland, a reper tory of foreign literature, and the Pfennig Maga zin, modelled on our Penny Magazine, the price of which is something less than a farthing, may be placed at the head of a host of wholesome publica- ' lions within the means and reach of the humbler classes, who form in Germany a reading public whose taste and education would revolt from the staple scandal and vitiating trash hawked about by some of our weekly prints. I will close this slight sketch of the state of the German periodical and political press, with deplor ing that the purchased silence of Saphir and the apostacy of Goerres should have extinguished two of its brightest stars. Those who have read the Bazar and the Dumheiten of the former will not hesitate to place this humorous writer at the head of the satirists of Germany, and while they regret that the solid sweets of an• Austrian pension should stifle the incomparable vein of sarcastic drollery of the quondam Munich editor, they cannot be surprised at the prudent liberality of the Vienna Cabinet, in buying up the slip pery and otherwise unattainable humorist, Goer res—as a young man, the propandist of French Jacobinism in Germany ; in maturer years, the editor of the Courrier du Rhin, and in that qua lity united with Stein to rouse the spirit of Ger many against the opp ress i on o f F rance, an d was honoured by the appellation of a puissance Eu ropeenne by Napoleon—has become in his old age the furious advocate of the Vatican. His last work, Athanasius, written with the untameable energy of the zealot against mixed marriage, hav inc, well nigh kindled civil war in Germany, has been recompensed by the rank of high dignitary of the University of Munich.—(Corresp on d ent of the Times.) There has not existed in Germany a thorough • going Liberal paper since the two or three years succeeding the revolution of July. The indiscreet language and democratical yearnings of several small journals, which sprung into a mushroom ex istence after that event, which shook Germany to the centre, soon draw upon them the ven geance of the tribunals, and estranged from their cause the friends of Liberalism, which in Germany, with the exception of the aspirations of a few hot headed political adventurers, and of a handful of inexperienced young men attending the Univer sities, is allied to very moderate and reasonable de sires. Most of the conductors of the periodical press in Germany are, however, personally or theo retically disposed to Liberalism, and it is not an unfrequent thing to see long articles with that ten dency, when relating to foreign affairs, in the same columns where German politics are never mentioned unattended by the spirit of Conservatism. ,The solution of this contradiction is easy to those ac quainted with the character and habits of this peo ple : in no country in the world does there exist such perfect freedom in abstract matters of opinion as is to be found in Germany. The political state of foreign countries is to the journalist what the mystical part of religion is to the theological pro fessor—a sphere for free discussion, and where they may think what they please, and say what they think, so long as they attempt no practical illustra tion calculated to injure the foundations of the in stitutions of the land. 1610 NE I MARKET and CITY NEWS. TIMES.—The guarantees for the United States Bank of the advances made by the Bank of England are the houses of Baring, Morrison, Denison, and Huth, all very largely connected with America. , They are said, however, only to have engaged their guarantee at present for the sum of 1 0 0,000/., that being affirmed to be the whole Mr. Jaudon can require previous to the arrival of the Great Western, which is, nary daily expected. The arrangement with the Bank, under which the loan is to take place by means of 3 per Cent. Consols, instead of bank-notes, is obviously adopted in order to prevent any addition to the circulation in con sequence of the accomodation given to Mr. Jaudon ; but it will be attended with this further benefit to the Bank, that they will dispose of a portion of their stock procured by the conversion of Exchequer bills without coming into the market as a seller—a step which, in the present state of money, would be regarded with absolute dismay. They have reserved to themselves, too, in all probability, the option of repayinent either in Consols or money, which may be a further power gained, as events turn• out, in the regulation of the currency. Even the sale of the amount of stock now placed at the disposal of Mr. Jaudon is viewed with some alarm at the Stock Exchnge, but that is likely to be obviated by pledging it to cover advances in money, instead of resorting to a sale immediately, and allowing the sale to take place gradually, as, the state of the market may permit. All this shifting and contrivance, however, tends to elucidate more fully the difficulty into which the agency of the United States Bank has been brought. The escape from it is unreservedly declared to depend upon what the Great Western, and perhaps the Liverpool, which was the next steam ship to fol low, may bring from Philadelphia ; and never, certainly, was the fate of so great an institution so nicely balanced as this is on the present occa sion. If the aid comes, it will be matter of foresight only, and not the result of information, as provision would appear to have been made in Europe for all claims upon the hank, and none of the late checks and disap pointments could have been anticipated. In describing this perilous exigency (as it undoubtedly is), it is but right to add, that great confidence is felt among the mercantile classes connected with America that the next arrivals will set all right. Mr. Jaudon, it may be fur ther observed, in this period of difficulty, as severe as ever any man, standing almost alone in a foreign country, was exposed to, has conducted himself with great judg ment and energy, and acquired the respect of all who have been brought by those difficulties into contact with him. The hope, therefore, of a favourable result to all predominates. On the other hand, articles appear from time to time in the German Papers, especially in the Ber liner Wochenblatt, and Other Prussian periodicals, teeming with the strongest anti-liberal feeling, and couched in terms of defiance of the Governments of England and France, which they stigmatize as the fosterers of revolution. The tone of these writers takes its source, however, not so much from the absolutist principle they seem to defend, which is far from being prevalent or popular in Prussia, as from a national antipathy to France, the contre-coup of which falls on England, her ally in the political combinations, which are supposed to be detrimental to Prussian policy and interests. The discussion relative to the occupation of Cracow, a few years back, gave vent to the most violent dia tribes against us, on account of our diplomatic op position to that illegal act. But all that was said was not meant, for we had the means of ascertain ing that the articles on this subject, which created the greatest sensation by their severity on us, pub fished in a leading paper in the south of Germany, were from the pen of the late Professor Ganz, one of the Coryphei of the Liberal party in Berlin. The object of this and other political writers was to ex cite the attention of the English and French press to the affair, and to create by their anonymous taunts an universal cry of indignation in these two countries, which might lead. to a protective declara tion on the part of their Governments.

He gracefully declined invitations to spend the autumn at about fifteen palaces, fifty castles, and five hundred halls. The honours overwhelmed him with gratitude ; but a man with his prodigious responsibilities must yield to the force of circumstances, and return to his duties. He could not, however, resist the solicita tions of the British Association to meet that erratic body at Birmingham, and thither went the observed of all observers, the resplendent Von Dullbrainz. There we saw him in his glory last Friday, at the grand dinner given by the Mayor and Town Council, in conjunction with Mr. Vernon Hercourt and the Association, to show the world at large how the English nation had learnt to estimate the splendours of foreign genius. The Mayor having proposed the health of their most insufferably illustrious visiter, with nine times three, the thunders of applause outlasted the common period of a thunder storm. Von Dullbrainz rose to return thanks, and the thunders were reverberated. " I am oblige to go, to leaf you, magnifique and charming English peoples," he said, " I am oblige to go, before you shall hear of me no more. A prophet is never prize in his own countree. I vas call quack and imposture in my land, and by my envying contempo rains. It vas reserve for de Engli h peoples, saga citous and penetrative, to discober de genus I vas all quite along sensible I possess. You know notting of de sciences, de literature, or de arts ; but you are amable peoples, and yea cleber foreigner of genus come to you, you savoy to appreciate him. I hab live vid your Princes, Presidents, Professors, and oder great fools, and von and all hab treat me as dey ought de greatest man of de vorld. In mine own countree ebery body laugh at me, and say, bah ! silly fellow ! Bot England, and, above all, de Mare and Munzepal of Brummagem, Mr. C. Harkout, and de British Ass—" Here an alarm of Chartists stopped the orator. The windows were broken, the brick-bats flew like leather winged mice, and the Riot Act was read to broken heads and deaf ears. Von Dullbrainz had no taste for liberty. He hurried from Birmingham, he h ft London, he quitted England, and lie fled to Skicamerdam, where he says he is writing his travels. THE PERIODICAL PRESS OF GERAANY. It is generally supposed in England that the po litical press of Germany is, from its subjection to the dietatoriol authority of the Censorship, nothing more than a reflection of the opinions and views of the various Courts which form the Confederation. " The censured press of the arbitrary Govern ments," is a term of depreciation of frequent use in our journals, whenever an article repulsive of the liberal propagandism ; or castigatory of the meddling despotism of some of your Contempora ries, appears in the Berlin Politische Wochenblatt, or in the Augsburg Gazette (Allgemeine Zeitung), and it is generally applied without an adequate knowledge of the degree of restraint under which the press labours in Germany, and the degree of authoritative influence which the Governments infuse into the opinions and politics advocated by the above-mentioned and other leading periodicals. It. is very far from my purpose to lavish com mendation upon any system that tends to shackle the perfect freedom of the press, and a British journal would not be the fit medium for such an in tention if I had it. Every Englishman has an in stinctive horror of any interference (supposing it possible) of his Government with the use or abuse he.may make of his right to publish his opinions. In Germany there does not exist the same restive ness on this point, and public feling is not ad verse to the existence of some constraint on the in temperance of discussion, which custom has ren dered innoxious in this country, but which has the worst effects in France and in other lands where angry words have more weight than with us. It is fortunate for the peace of the Confederation that this feeling exists. The domestic jealousies and prejudices of the 88 States afford ample matter for polemical writing, and their Governments, did they not possess some power of repressing the ebullitions.' of party, including the too zealous advocacy' of their own interests, would be thrown into interminable broils with their confederates : the Diet would have no other business than that of settling these points of dispute, and would ultimately become inadequate to its office of guardian of the peace between the members of the Germanic body. The degree of control exercised by the Censor ship in Germany is very indefinite. In times of excitement, as, for instance in 1832, when the Rhenish provinces of Prussia and Bavaria were the scenes of demagogue exhibitions and partial insur rection, and the Universities of even the central districts of Germany were in a state of dangerous ferment, the Governments have found it necessary to maintain a rigorous restraint on all political jour nals. I recollect to have seen at that time a Ba varian paper, whose sheet presented almost every day a blank column or two, which had contained the offensive matter extirpated by the scissors of the Censor. The influence of Russia on the German press has been much exaggerated by those w lio are in the habit of receiving as bon argent the articles which sometimes appear in defence of the policy of that power, and abusive of that of England. I have been able to detect the secret of some of these fabrications, written also with an assumed tone of insolence and dictation towards the people of Ger many--a mode adopted for keeping up a desired s pirit of national antipathy to Russia, and for giving an insight into her interests and views, exciting more attention than the repetition of the hundred-times told tale of her ambitious projects. Nevertheless, this Power has openings with many journals with which her agents correspond ; but their letters and articles have a mild and plausible character, which render them very distinguishable from the philippics in which her hidden opponents indulge in her name. I do not instance the vapid Journal de Francfort, POST.—We yesterday gave an outline of the ar rangement entered into between the Bank of England and Mr. Jaudon, and a few of the leading firms of Lon don and Li verpoo l, on b e h a lf o f the United States Bank. This we now confirm. Some additional circumstances have transpired to-day in relation to this important affair. It seems that the United States Bank has in its possession a large amount of American securities, which, in the existing state of the Money Market, have proved unavailable in this country. There was no p oss ibili ty o f effecting sales o f th e m, unless at a serious sacrifice. Ap plication was therefore made upon the subject to sonic of the principal banking e stablishments both here and on the Continent, and, among others , to that of M essrs . Hope and Co., of Amsterdam. Messrs. Hope an d C o. entertained the proposition, and ag ree d , in conjunction with their friends, to make Mr. Jaudon ad vances to the extent of 800,0001. Messrs. Hott inguer and Co. were to take 280,0001. of this a mount ; but, owing to some delay with respect to remittances, and a misunder standing of the arrangement, a difficulty arose. Reser vations in the agreement were made to the eff ect t h at, in the event of war and other contingencies specifically stated, it should become inoperative. The stock of the United States' Bank, as a guarantee for five years' dividends payable in Amsterdam, was to hare been given. We are informed that 111 r. Lab ouc h ere is the party entrusted with the execution of thi s matter, but that nothi ng conc l us i ve will be done in it until after the arrival of the Great Western steamer fro m N ew York. The ves se l may b e ex pected at Bristol on or about the 7th of next month. If some expected remittances come forward by this opportunity the arrangem ent w ill b e confirm e d. Th e d ocu ments will otherwise be cancelled. This explanation appears to be necessary for the justi fication of Messrs. Hope and Co. The exports from England to the United States' have for som e ti me past b een so inconsiderable, th at i t i s ex pected the a rr i va l s o f flour in the. Briti s h ports may establish a balance of exchange against us. Th e Ame ricans may draw to the extent of a million sterling for flour, the value of which will probably be seven dollars per barrel, or a million and a half of pounds. Yet great -- DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE VAUGHAN.— THURSDAY, SEPT. 26.—Died last night, at Eastbury Lodge, near Watford, the Right H on . M r. J ust i ce Vaughan, in the 71st year of his age. This excellent Judge sat in the Criminal Court at the Old .Bailey last week, and tried the prisoners with his usual clearness and dignity, .and he appeared pretty well until he went to bed last night. He had had some symptbms of a malady of the heart, and had been subject to severe rheumatism, which is often transferred to that vital organ. He died almost without a groan. COURT CIRCULAR.

NEW THEATRE IN GLASGOW.—Government has agreed to recommend her Majesty to issue letters patent to' the Lord Provost, Magistrates and Council of Glasgow, for another Theatre in that city, under the usual limitations. Mr. MAYHEW was called upon to explain affairs thediffi f difficul ties that stood in th e way o f bringing bankrupt to a termination. He said that o wi th respect to th e O pera H ouse, the assignees b ad directed his house to use every means in their power to anticipate and effect a sale, and in consequence of the kindness of Mr. Wright, the banker, several meetings had taken place at his house of tixteen of the creditors, whose d e b ts amounte d to upwar d s of 80,0001., for the.' purpose of considering of the best measures to be adopted to terminate the litigations that were pend ing, and to bring the property of the bankrupt to sale. There had been five or six meetings of that description. Every difficulty had been represented, and the Opera House was, at the wish of those meetings, advertised for sale by private oontract. Latterly they had had no offers for it, but formerly there was one, and that a very large one. It was not right that he should name that offer unless the creditors desired to know it, and even then he doubted the propriety of making it public. That offer, however, went off, and then Mr. Wright was resorted to again, to know what should be done, and the result was, th at t h e Opera House was again p ut up for private sale, the difficulties of the title rendering it impossible tosell it by public auction. Supposing the Opera House th i n( CHA M BEES' BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors of the Messrs. Chambers, took place yesterday in the Concert Rcom of the Queen's Theatre, which was very numerously attended. At a few minutes past twelve o'clock, the Rev. Mr. DEW - cOSIBE was called to the Chair. The Rev. Chairman said that although the situation was rather foreign to his profession, he would not hesitate to accept it, and he trusted the meeting would adhere simply to business, and avoid all causes of irritation.—(Hear.) Miss Chambers, the daughter of the bankrupt, was present, and addressed some observations to the Chair man, which we did not distinctly hear. She appeared to be deeply affected, and we understood her to say that her father had been now twelve years in prison, ditring which time a sum of 230,0001. had been received for his estate, which would have paid nearly all his debts, and if the management of his affairs had been left in his own hands he would have long since paid every shilling. All she wished was to have the certificate she held in her hand signed. Mr. DIXON said before they proceeded to business be was anxious to ask one question. He understood that the reason why no resolution bad been come to at the last meeting at Messrs. Wright's bank was, because the meeting was illegal—(Hear, hear)—that it bad not been duly advertised, and therefore was not binding on the creditors. He would now take the libtrty of inquiring whether the necessary precautions had been taken on the present occasion for the purpose of render ing the meeting legal, and giving effect to a hstever re. solution they should come to.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. MAYHEW, the solicitor to the assignees, said that for the purpose of receiving the opinion of the creditors a meeting at any time would be legal, but if he were asked if the present was a 141 meeting to bind absent creditors, be would positively answer, no ; because it was not one of the meetings within the statute. The statute recognised only four meetings ' for legitimate purposes, and the present was not oat of the m . T o a d vert i se t h e present meeting in the Gala zette would be on ly a was t e o f money ; i t h a d b een a d : vertised in the daily and evening papers, and ceersA l means adopt e d t o g i ve i t notor i ety, b ut nothing coditi make it legal to bind absent creditors. It any steps could have been taken to make the meeting legal he had not done his duty, and be should be happy to aeeteive' the advice of any gentleman on that point. Mr. DIXON was very cautious in offering an opinion before such high legal authority, but he contended that it might have been made a legal meeting within the terms of the Act of Parliament, and he would refer them to the 88th section of the 6th Geo. IV., in con firmation of that opinion. He would call to the recol lection of the meeting that the object of the last meet in..' was either to come t o some arrangement with regard to Mr. Wilton's claim, or to sell the Opera House, or to come to some arrangement with respect to the dispo sition of the bankrupt's property, and it would now be seen whether anything could be done to remove these difficulties. Mr. Dixon then read the section to which he referred, and observed that one of the subjects under discussion at the last meeting was whether they should not file a suit in Chancery to get • rid of the claim of Mr. Wilton ; and if it was considered necessary to do so that day, they had not the power of earring it into effect, merely because the adver tisement had not been inserted in the Gazette. What ever difficulties were in the way of the arrangement of the affairs of the bankruptcy, might have been re moved if the proper steps had been taken. According to Mr. Mayhew's statement, all they could d o now was to offer their opinions, but he apprehended that the very converse of the proposition was what was in tended by the creditors, and that they meant to give the assignees power to do what the last meeting could not do.—(Hear, and cheers.) A Creditor (Mr. LEIGH, as we understood) observed that he had been present at the last meeting at Mr Wright's, and the general feeling then was that the meeting of the present day was tobe a legal one byadvertis ing it in the Gazette. It was alleged by the o ffi c i a l ass i gnee that the only reason why they had not met in Basinghall street, was, that there was not sufficient accommoda tion there for the creditors. Such was the way in whith the creditors were treated by the official assignee and by Mr. Mayhew, who had received in law expenses, accord ing to the statement in his hand, upwards of 30,0001. (Hisses, anrcries of " Shame.) And now, forsooth, they were told that the advertisement was not inserted in the Gazette in order to save expense. Why the assignees had brought there Sir Fred er i c k P o ll oc k, who ,.. he had no doubt would be right well paid, as he ought to be, and he would be glad to know at whose expense ? —( Hear, hear.) Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK said, as his name had been alluded to he would state why he attended there. It was considered that there were many points on which infor mation was desirable, and that it would be well if the assignees bad the means of immediately giving an answer to the creditors. The assignees had, therefore, requested him (Sir F. Pollock) to attend on their behalf, and aid them so far as his legal advice could. He should be very happy to do so, and to offer his opinion touching the unprecedented course of litigation, which had delayed the settlement of the affairs of the Messrs. Chambers for PO many years, and he was not surprised at the complonts that had been made. He had no intention of saying a syllable unless upon points which were purely legal, nor would he have obtfuded himself unless he had been per sonally alluded to. He did not think any advantage would result from adv ertising the meeting in the Gazelle, and with respect to the disposal of any part of the estate I no meeting could give to the assignees greater authority than they at present possessed, and no meeting could give them any right as against absent creditors. With respect to Mr. Wilton's claim, in his judgment any arrangement 1 that could be come to would be ill a d v i se d, f or according 1 to the best judgment he could exercise whenever the time 1 came for investigating it, it would turn out to be of ea 1 value whatever.—( Hear, hear.) Therefore, for the • assignees to put into any public advertisement that they intended to discuss Mr. Wilton's claim, would be most indiscreet, because it would create obstacles and false ! the claim which, in his crijnion, if discussed at a proper time, would be foCnd to be of no value. Any person vfho set up such a claim as Mr. Wilton's could not fail to create great difficulty and considerable expense. His opinion was that the claim of Mr. Wilton had no foundation, and therefore he should advise the 1 assignees to take no notice of such claim. If the present meeting had been advertised in the Gazelle it could I have bound absent creditors only in the specific cases 1 mentioned in the Act. There were other claims against the estate as well as Mr. Wilton's, and the assignees, in his opinion, would do very wrong to bring them forward at a public meeting. If his advice had been asked he should have said there could have been no harm in advertising the meeting, because it would give publicity to it ; but it would give it no character for legality. Again he would state that he attended the meeting only for the purpose of giving advice to the assignees and explanation to the creditors, if they required it. Mr. MAYHEW would declare again that if he had known any mode by which he could have rendered the meeting legal, he should have adopted it. When Mr. Dixon stated that he was directed to advertise the meeting so as to render it legal, he must be allowed to say he had no recollection of any such direction at all. A CREDITOR—It ought to have been advertised in the Gazelle. Mr. MAYHEW observed that the Chairman wan at the last meeting, and he would appeal to him whether at that meeting there was any thing said about filing bill or referring to arbitration. The s o le obj t ct of thate meeting was, whether or not the Opera House should is put up to public auction. The meeting was called for that r urpose, and that alone. Mr. HAMILTON thought the course that had been pursued at the meeting that day was a complete waste of time. If anything was to be done by the meeting, 'whether it was a legal one or not, the sooner it was done the better. If the assignees had any proposition to make, the better course would be for them to make it. He had himself a proposition to bring forward, but be should wait till the assignees had brought forward theirs, if they had one to adduce. The assignees had called the present meeting, and it was their duty to proceed to buslness. _ Mr. MAYHEW was surprised at the observations of Mr. Hamilton that the assignees had called the present meeting. The meeting had been called at the request of the creditors, and in consequence of the resolution that had been come to at the last meeting. Th e as. signees had nothing to state ; all they wanted was the direction of the body of creditors, and if any credit or wished to put any question to them, they would gladly the meeting, when ho stated answer it.
