THE PRINCESS OF IF:ILES.

A statement has been giv'en, a'pparently, froth au-
thority, of a meeting which took place on Friday
last, at the York Hotel, Bridge-itreet, Blackfriars,
in consequence of a letter circulated by Measrs•
BLAGRAVE and WALTett, Solicitors to the Creditors
of the Princess of WALES, intimating that Mr. ADAM,
the Pririee,Of \VALES'S Chancellor, and Mr. GRAY,
his Royal Highness's Deputy Treasurer, would at-
tend and itibmit to them a plan which his Royal
Highness had adopted to pay their demands, and se-
cure them in fuiure.

Mr. ADAM, after 'stating that thel)rince had ta-
ken their case into his most serious . consideration in
every point of view, observed that the affltirs of his
Royal Highness were all administered under an act
of the 35th of the King, whiCh`,rendered it illegal
for the Prince to grant:anyibond or obligation, and
protected him against personal 'action, but rendered
his revenue liable; if the Creditors followed out the
provisions 'Of the Act, by delivering in . their bills
signed within ten days .after the quarter, and pro-
vided they sued on them within three months from
that delivery. _
Mr. ADAM proceeded to state, that the Prince's
Treasurer had constantly every quarter paid the al-
of 1'2,0001. a year to the Officer of her
Royal Highness, and that this allowance bad never
been an'instant in arrear from 1.802-to the present
time, and that the Prince had always paid this
sun), dear from the Income Tax, though P2;0001.
per annum was deducted from himself on that • ac.;
count; that the Prince had now increased the Fria-.
cess's income to 17,0001. a-year, to be paid quar-
terly, without deducting the Income Tax. •
Mr. ADAM then stated, that the Princess was paid
:for pertonal eXpences a! the Exchequer 56, 001. a-year,
making 'in all, an it,conle of:22,0001. and that. it was
upon this increased-income of 17;0001.a-year: nett,
that the Prince had devised the security .for the cre-
ditors in future, liaving made it a condition that the
Princess' should appoint an officer to receite that in-
come, who was errioined;in the settling the accounts,
to follow the course prescribed by the Aet of Par-
liament for regulating the expenditareof the Prince;
that a paper to this effeel had been accordingly signed
by the PrinceSs, so that the creditors had now only
to observe the forms of the Aet of Parliament,'
in order .to insure their payment. Mr. AnAar
assured the CreditOrS, that the Prince had ap-
propriated as large a sum as his situation would ad-
.mit to discharge the debts of the, Princess, and that
the regularity of the payments might be depended
upon. Nor was this all, fOr as some of the Credi-
tors had expressed a dread., upon the possible Cala-
mity of being deprived of the prince, his Royal
Highness, though precluded by law from binding
himself by,deed or note, 'would`render his property'
and rights, in case of such event, available to the
same purpose. Mr. ADAM finally observed, that
the Prince assumed the whole debt 'o'f the Princess,,
amounting to 45,0001. ;.1 that 10,0001. had been' now
•
paia; and that in the first week in Janpry the se--
cond installment would he ready.

On Saturday -his Royal Highness the Duke of
tAMBRIDGH left town, cm a visit ;to their MA-
JksttEs at Windsor.

Mr. CURWEN has, by some late agricultural ex•
periments, thrown considerable light on the theory
6f vegetables. The opening of the land by the
Plough, he has discovered is attended with another
benefit (hitherto unnoticed),
,Than that:of: merely
allowing the' extension of the roots in the soil thus
loosened, it promotes,, in dry seasons, the evapora-
tion Of much moisture from the earth,
.and thereby
creates for the plants a pabulum, whiCh, 'absorbed
by their leaves, renders them.in a high deiree. lux-
uriant and produ&ive. The mode of.; depositing
tnanure is 'made subservient to this disovery, 'by
,equally good crops being Froduced with a less quan-
tity of it.
Saturday morning a carpenter, 'belonging to C:)-
tent-Garden Theatre, fell from a height cif So feet
upon, the, stage, .by which his arm was broken, lnd
his head terribly bruised. He was earned :to the
