HANOVER, JAN. 23.
The late Prince, Bishop, Francis Egon Von Yurstenberg,
141 appointed the y oungest son of his brother sole heir to his

large property, amounting, in ready money and persona'
property alone, to above three millions of dollars, with the obli-
gatioh, as this property was acquired from Ecclesiastical Re.
venues, to employ it in charitable purposes. '1 here is no doubt
that the heir, who is already so rich, will perforM this liberal
condition to the utmost, and follow the example of the late
Canon of Von Merode at Hilderheim, who left his property,
amounting to 22,000 dollars to improve the country schools.

forced the garrison of Djocjocarta with 300 men, by which it

KINGSTON, DEC. 20. tan.—The Hon. House of Assembly
was yesterday prorogued by his Grace the Governor until this
day, in consequence of the failure of the Deficiency and Eccle-
aiastical Establishment Bills. The former, it will be recollect.
ed, was rejected in the Lower House last week, and the latter
was yesterday thrown out by the Council, in consequence
of the Assembly adhering to its original provisions, and
returning it to the Council unaltered in that particular clause
to which they had directed its attention. A new Session will,
therefore, meet this day, and the rejected Bills, with certain ma.
difications, will be again introduced. Previous, however, to its
prorogation, his Grace was pleased to give his assent to the fol-
lowing Bills :—The West-India Company ; Directors of the
Bath of St. Thomas the Apostle; John Greenwood's P,ivilege ;
unror, and D:ecenson's Bequest ; Foreign and Un:ted States'
Goods Duty ; Rum and Land Tax ; sir John Kean's Water St.
Catherine's Workhouse ; Militia Pay and Rations ; and for
author'sing the tale of:dares' the property of Hoffman.
Honan.
His Grace then delivered the following speech :
" Gentlemen of the Council,
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly.
" Two important Bills having fatted in their pre:wo' to me,
I deem it proper, in his Majesty's name, to prorogue this'Ge-
neral Assembly until to-morrow, and it is hereby prorogued
accordingly."

Barbadoes Papers to the 31st of December

not important.

Bombay Papers and private letters were re-
ceived this morning to 21st of September. It is
stated that the Scindians having admitted ma-
rauders into their territory, n Corps of Observa-
tion has marched from Bombay, to prevent tit ,ir
making further depredations.

Charleston Papers to the 7th January arrived
this morning. The following is an extract of a
lotpr from Buorms Ayres dated Oct. 18 :
" The Congress of these provinces has declared de facto rein.
corporatcd with them, recognised its authorities, admitted its
Deputies, and enjoined the deficiency at' its territory in the
National Executive. This resolution, equal to a declaration of
war, has had a sudden etnct on the price of wines, sugars, rice.
and Some of the articles Of consumption, and they are this day
25 per cent. above quotation."

The LORD CDANCEL.rOK.—.IIis• Lordship's
health has not continued to increase as %as an-
ticipated. Since Friday his Lordship, thongh
continuing to mend, does so but very slowly.—
The answers given this day were, " his L ord
ship is not worse, and but very little better."

' It is confidently expected by the merchants
trading with Hayti, that a commercial treaty
with that island wilt shortly be completed on the
part of the English Government. This would be
conclusive, without any thing else, that Presi-
dent Boyer is not so much as was supposed in
the trammels of the French interest. The pre-
sent state of the affair is said to stand thus:—
Communications have been received from Port-
au-Prince announcing that such a treaty was in
preparation, and that us soon as its terms were
adjusted to the satisfaction of the Executive, a
Commissioner would proceed with it to England
for the concurrence of the Government inits
provisions. This Commissioner, should the
treaty be ratified, it is intended shall remain
here as Haytian Consul. We understand that in
consequence of this intimation, Mr. Mackenzie,
who was appointed English Consul at Port-au-
Prince, has been directed to delay his departure
in order that he may receive such new instruc-
tions as the terms of the treaty may render ne-
cessary.—( Times.)

PRIVY COUNCIL.

Saturday, at elevi.n o'clock, the following
Members of this most Honourable Board assembled at the
New Cock-pit, \Vhitehall.place:—Lord 01Fr ()RD, Lord
egLCIIESTER, and Sir J. Ntettot.s.

The BoAnn proceeded to hear motions on several appeals
in Colonial causes. The first was an appeal. (taken from a
judgment given on the equity side of the Court of Chancery at
Madras) in which the East Intli4 Company were appellants, and
the widow and children of the late Nabob of the Carnatic were
respondents. That judgment was pronounced in allay, 1820,
nearly six years ago ; and the question that occurred was,
whether an appeal was now competent ? In support of the
affirmative.

Mr. Sergeant BOSANQIIET and Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE, on
the part of the Company, argued, that the appellants could not
be charged with necessary delay (larher, as it is termed), in
bringing their appeal, or • with negligence in 'following the
cause. which was • represented, as being of •no ordinary import-
ance ; and that, all events, his Majesty had a discretionary
rower, in virtue of the Royal Prerogate, to permit their being
heard upon the merits.
Mr. lioaxE and Dr. LUSIIINGTON, for the respondents,
contended, that the appellants had lost their right to be heard,
not only by delaying, for so great a length of time, to exhibit
their app atl, but by neglecting to lodge, in due time, their
printed c .se' and relative papers, notwithstanding two orders
upon them had been made by the Board rot that purpose. It
was therefore submitted, that the consequences should fall On
this great and powerful body, to whom delay was clear gain,
(the subject of dispute being wholly in their hands) while the
respondents were in a state of the most complete and absolute
destitution.

After Mr. Serjeant SI'AN K IE had been heard in reply,
The hoard consulted together for some time, when
Lord titrroaD delivered the opinion of their Lordships—
That the appeal be admitted, although only on a condition
(which would be enforced front the poorest party that ever came
to ask fur justice, but which was more imperative on the Fast
India Company, who, by the agency of their numeroute ser-
vants, had many incilities in the administration of their airairs,
which other litigants did not possess) that the appellants reim.
burscd the respondents of all mos and expences iucurred by
them in consequence of the delay.
2d. Is another case, from the Cape of Good Hope, a similar
order was given, atter hearing Cllr. !Imre for the appellants
(infant); 31r. BROUGHAM for the respondents; and 11Ir.
HART in reply.
3d. In a case from die same Colony, " Collison appellant v.
Maamlorp, respondem," (which bad been partly beard on
Monday last), Mr. CARR was heard, in conclusion, for the re-
spondent, and TAUN two in reply. The question turned
entirely upon a point of patch law, not in the least interesting
to our readers. _ _

At 20 inintitem to five o'clock Counsel were directed to with-
draw, the Board requiring time to deliberate upon their sen-
tence,
