A rnerica.

By an American vessel from St. Domingo,
we learn that the markets in that place were over-
stocked with American produce towards the latter
end of Oct. Every thing was in great confusion.
The merchants were removing their property out

of the country. The troops had not been paid
for six months, and were consequently greatly

siatisfied.

Quebec Papers of the 16th, and Montreal of

the 18th November, have been received. They
contain no particular news of interest ; but the
people were looking forward with some anxiety
to the meeting of the provincial Parliament,
which was to take place on the 21st. Sir JOHN
CoLt3onNT•:, K.C.B. had arrived at York
on the 4th, and entered on his duties as Liente-
nant.Governor of Upper Canada. Sir P.
MAITLA ND was to leave, on his way to Halifax.
A Kingston, Upper Canada Paper, mentions

that Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND, Lieut-Go-
vernor of Nova Scotia, has had a narrow escape
of being drowned, 4 few yards above Kingston
Mills. It appears that his bark canoe ran foul
of a log of wood, and immediately filled with
water. Fortunately another canoe way at .hand,
the crew of which rescued his Excellency and
his companion from Their perilous situation.

Tbg pritiate letters from the Mauritius men-
tion the arrival of intelligetic.o there of thc death
of RA DANIA, the King" of Madagascar, which
took place on the 27th of July last. It will be
recollected that during Sir ROBERT FARQU-
H4tr; froypril ment of the Mauritius, and about
the year )820, a treaty Nia,4 cpnclutled with this
Chief, which had been irojected and partially ex-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
CHAMBERS v. CHAMBERS.
The LORD CHAscELLoa gave judgment in this
ease, the goestion in which arose out of the bank-
ruptcy of Mr. Chambers. The case was argued at
some length before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor,
as also in this Court, upon appeal, and it now stood
for its judgment. Mr. Win. Chambers proved tin-
der the commission a debt amounting to 3,7941.; he
proposed to prove another debt of 628/., whit h the
Commissioners ref fed to allow hint to do, in con-
sequence of his holding seemities for, Ow sum,
which he declined giving up. After he had proved
for the first debt, he-brought an action against his
brother, the bankrupt, for the sum he had proved,
for the sum he had offered to prove, but which he
was not allowed to do; and also for other debts, one
a promissory note for 100/.,another for 250/.,and other
sums which he alleged had been advanced to the
bankrupt after tie bankruptcy. The actiop Ivas jp
the Court of Exphequer i jlo 4e fence being gone
into, judgment went by default. Upon that judg-
ment a writ of execution was afterwards sued out,
which was answered to levy a sum of money amount-
ing to more than 6,000/., including the sums which
has been proved under the commission, the rims
offered to be proved and those alleged to have been
advanced. lUpon this execution the heii took-
the property of the bankrupt; which was in the
hands of the assignees. An application was made
to the Vice-Chancellor, for the purpose of
having the execution withdrawn, which his Ho-
nour ordered. From that order the party now
appcalFdr .According to the opinion expressed
thi Corp )104 fcripei. 54c4iops,
hum Chambers, had brought his action solely
for that part of the debt riot proved under the com-
mission, that being a distinct debt upon a distinct
account, this Court would not have felt itQelf called
upon to have acted, as far as Mr. Chambers's per-
sonal liability was concerned. That was in accord-
ance with the judgment of the Court, pronounced a
days ago, iViff)otiier cast Chu the
if the action had been confined to that part of the I
debt that was proved under the commission, which

it is mentioned, adds that " one of his wives,
by name RANA NALONE, has assumed the Go-
vernment. She promises to follow up RADA MA's
plans, but, admitting that she has the inclination,
it is to be .doubted whether she possesses the
power of enforcing a system, the maintenanGe of
which required all the vigour and the uncompro-
mising severity of R ADAMA himself.

Mr, Chambers had elected to proi,e under it, ^,
he had taken out execution upon a judgment cc'i,
filled to that part, against the property of the bsni
tutu in the hands of the assignees, under
circumstances this Court ought to have interfere!
but with respect to the advance, Mr. Chambers havil
made his election, he had no right in that respect 103,1
that particular debt to take out execution upon l'.
goods in the hands of the assignees. But in Pt
particular case both causes of action had been re'
sisted. Now, assuming that if he confined his 114*,
tion to that part of the debt proved under the t
mission, and had sued our his execution uptaritw"
assuming that the Coutt would, under such circus':
stances, have interfered, upon which his Lordsbl?
desired at present not to be considered as givitig
opinion, it was to be considered what wits the ofi
duct of the defendant at the moment. He h,„
thought proper to unite both proceedings. W

course, or what order could the make uuu"
such circumstances, except the order pronounced be;
low. It was stated that the Court might make 4
qualified - order, that it might operate urm
the execution, as far as related to the der"
proved under the Commission, and 100
ail the rest of the execution in force; but no suge,
tions were made at the bar as to the difficulties"
the shape of such an order. Supposing the bankrupt
himself had applied to the Court of Exchequer
stay the proceeding as far as related to that part •
the action, the Court could have done nothing
stay the proceeding entirely. The Court of ExeV
quer, it was true, might have directed a writ p.
issue as to part of the demand, but it would not had
been a stay of the proceedings. The Court thought
the only cause that could have been taken by the
Court of Exchequer would have been to have stayed
the proceedings altogether, and have left it to td:, 0
plaintiff to have got rid of the. difficulty. The dir„
culties were created by William Chambers himso"
he could not, therefore, complain "if the Co,"
would not take npon i tself to unravel them. It w°°
not for the Court to state the mode of doing the
but his Lordship apprehended it would be easy ti
him, in the Court, of Exchequer, to remove

was anxious tor to.give any opinion about this, an
to be understood, as not calling. into question the
decision belovi,- Under all the circumstances of-the
case, the Court thought the execution should be
withdrawn altogether, leaving this gentleman (gri
Wm. chambers) to pursue such course in a Quirt
'CommmiLaw,as he might he advised. If the diffieqf
was got rid of, another writ of execution, might tit
sued out, and the parti4.might bring the questil
again before the Court: .It, was upon this groum"
and this only, the Court affirmed the decision heloo

sitively for the first Seal before the next term.

Mr. SUGDEN requested permission that it pe,tid.

the other petition, which was appointed •.1v;

both petitions.
