TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

EDlVlll—Knowing your willinenese to afford every in-
formation in your power to those who, like myself, are interested in
South American affairs, permit me to inquire, throtgh the medium
of your valuable journal, whether there is any prospect of the Co.
lombian dividends due •n the 16th of the ensuing month being
paid. If I remember right, your's wee the Beet of tire journals to
insert the notification of Mr. flurtatio, the Colombian Mabee.
tutor, upon the subject of the list due on Ist May, hutted soon
after the failure of the house of Boldsmidt and Co. in which he
apprised the holders that he had some time previously despetelm.l
• vessel to bring t::e specie to England. The return, therefore,
ought now to be expected. The most slamming rumours ere in
circulation upon this subject • and, indeed, the late e.riioei of the
!thirster of Finance in Colombia admitting so heavy a deficiency in
the revenue, is but too well calculated to arrifinn them. Excepting
indeed from Chili, and lately by the Pyrenees from Mexico, I be-
lieve not • dollar has yet been remitted from any of thelkath
American States. The cute of Peru has long been known to the
public, and I sincerely trust that Colombia will not be the nes:
upon the list of bankrupt governments. The high character of
Bolivar, the Liberator, is a eufficient guarantee ageing soy wilful
breach of public faith, but it is to be feared that the amazing 0:
forts made by his country have exceeded her means of reintbUrsez
ment for many years to conic., and that in the Mean time the Cft4
ditors must be so-...-iieed. I trust, however, that I may be miss
taken, for, feeliieg ht CO6IIIOQ with most of my countrymen the
greatest interest in her welfare, and admiration ct her heroic rev.
tions, I cannot but earnestly hope that so dreadful a calamity as w
breach of public faith may be averted from them. By giving a
place to thette lines at your earliest convenience you will greatly
oblige, Your most bumble Servant,

of postponing the settlement for these races till ibe Monday, Is very e
Jeetionable, and keep, a great many country gentlemen in tows the new

COURT OF CHANCERY, MONDAY, JUNE 12.

CASE OF SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER.

The I.oais CHANCEI.LOII wished to know whether the Solid-
toe of Sir Gregory was acquainted with the affidavit which had
been handed up to the Court. The demands of the petition could
rot be granted if that aft:davit were true, u he believed it to be.
The petition asked for a sorn of money, but if the affidavit of the
Committee were true, the Court must be informed where the money
was to be found. finless the Cour.sel or himself (the Chancellor)
furnished it, he did not know where it was to be had. He was
convinced that mischievous consequences proceeded from the do.
ermination of one of the parties to persist in the traverse.

ZDEBBOROUGH V. THE BISHOP OF I.OIIION.

The LORD CUANCELLOR said that in thig case, respecting
the right of el:cting the 3linister aid Churchwardens of the Parish
of Coleman-street, he should not hesitate to state it as.his opinion
that the tied of election was in the parishioners, who paid to-
wards the church and poor, proceeding by open election and not
by ballot, and unless he paid any thing more on the subject to-mor-
row morning, it: might be understood to say judicially, that this
election was void.

Mr. HART believed that what his Lordship said would be per-
fectly satisfactory to the parish ; they would proceed to another
eleclN.ll, c(snilucting themselves according to what they understood
to be his opinion.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said that his opinion rested, in a
great degree, on the circumstance, that the proceedi, g seemed to
have been very much under the influence of the vestries. Looking
at the constitution of vestries, the right of election by open vote
appeared to him to be vested in those who paid to the church and
poor : but although the election appeared to him void, he did not
think that the bill could be dismissed. The election by ballot was
certainly void, and the parish should therefore proceed to a new
election ; and in the mean time, the Trustees, the Bishop, and the
Archbishop should be restrained from presenting.
