, A meeting of the " Democratic" party was held in Phi-
: aidelphia on Thursday evening on the subject of the State
• • debt, which was pretty numerously attended. The pro-
, eeedings, however, were far from harmonious, and but
little consequence seems to be attached to the meeting.
The doctrines advanced in the resolutions doubtless
IPeak the sentiments of but a few reckless spirits, and
will be scouted by the mass of the party in whose name
they are issued. The resolutions declare, in sub-
stance, that the present State Debt was contracted.
without the sanction of the Constitution, and f pur-
Poses at variance with the legitimate designs of Go-
vertunent—that the people of the Commonwealth are
tinder no moral or legal obligation to pay the debt,
and that " they would be recreant to every princi-
ple that should govern freemen" if they consented
to bear the burden of taxation for that purpose. It was
further:resolved, Lhat they would unitedly resist by all
*awful means the collection of the present or any future
`kJ that may be levied to pay the principal or interest of
ti" State debt—and that "it is the duty of the Legis-
lature at the earliest possible period of its session to
rt,'""ce provision for the payment out of the money in the
krasury, of all persons to whom the Commonwealth
I' indebted for manual labour, and then immediately
t 2. pass over to Commissioners, Trustees, or As-
stgnees, all the property of the Commonwealth,
reserving such only as is 'absolutely essential to
the transaction of the legitimate business of Go-
vernment, and to provide for the equal distribution of
the proceeds of such property among the so-called State
creditors, in proportion to their respective claims ; and
to provide further, that all claims against the State,
existing prior to such transfer, shall be claims only upon
the fond in the hands of said Trustees, Commissioners,
1),,r Assigness." The last resolve calls upon the people of
the State, in order to compel the banks to resume specie
Payments, to receive bank-notes at their specific value
°llly, from and after the first of February next.

ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
i,bERBY, JAN. 21.—A public meeting of the inhabitants
11,1 the county of Derby was held this day (Friday) at
the County-hall, to congratulate her Majesty on the
culh of an heir apparent to the Throne. The requisi-
n to the High Sheriff to coavene the meeting was
''elled by the Magistrates and others. The High She-
flat took the chair. After a few preliminary remarks
y the Chairman, the Rev. A. Curzon- came forward to
Es°ll()se the address, which was seconded by W. Evans,
w•l' M.P An attempt was made to carry the address
eat the following addition, but it failed. A work-
ing 'llan stood forward to propose the addition. After
the document was read considerable excitement prevailed
arnong the aristocratic party, and they finally agreed to
withdraw the address, and the High Sheriff vacated the
chair. A working man was then appointed as chairman,
44(.1 the address, with the addition, was then put and,
carried unanimously. I understand that after the Chair-:
man had vacated, the gentry and the Sheriff went i"ito
the Grand Jury-room, and there passed their addiess
with locked doors.
The following is the additional clause : I

I.I.A.NUERY COURT-(THIS

WALKER V. ASTON.

The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied
the Court the whole morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS

The Court was occupied the whole morning disposing
of motions, none of which possessed any features of
general interest.

V ICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the 'VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
COCE.BURN V. RAPHAEL.

The further arguments in this case, which had been
before the Court yesterday, were resumed this morning.
Mr. WAKEFIELD contended; on the part of the peti-
tioner, that the intentions of the founder of the
Charity had not been carried out by the members
of St. Lazarus to the extent which the funds ad-
mitted. The annual amount of the trust fund was
1,3801. ; while there had never been more than
fourteen boys educated at a time upon the foundation.
It appeared that the expenses of the maintenance of each
scholar could not amount to more than 251. a-year ; and
although the monks had undertaken, in conformity with
the wishes of the testator, to translate and print certain
books, this charge and others incidentally incurred
would not account for the outlay of the sum received.
A greater number of boys might still be educated in the
charity, and a case had, therefore, been made out for the
interference of the Court.

His HONOUR, in giving his judgment, said that in his
opinion it might be collected from the testator's own
will, that he did mean that the charity should be ad-
ministered at Venice, because he had directed that a
gentleman of the name of Pusa should administer the
charity, and that he should have the appointment of the
parties who were to succeed him. The will was made in
the year 1791, and it appeared that Mr. Pusa, who was a
monk of St. Lazarus, had, by a document dated in 1792,
appointed the Society to which he belonged to be
the administrators and depositors of the charity.
That was a sufficient indication of the intentions of Mr.
Pusa, as to the place where the school should be esta-
blished. It appeared, too, from a paper which contained
a draft of the Master's former report, that the present
petitioner, Mr. Alexander Raphael, had appeared before
the Master, and that the report had been framed upon
his suggestions. He had, therefore, virtually approved
of the establishment of the school at St. Lazarus. The
Court had adopted and confirmed the Master's re-
port, making the specific directions contained in the
decree for further directions, but giving liberty to
apply. It was useless to discuss, upon that occasion,
the general law of the Court in cases of foreign charities;
because the decree had determined the place where the
school now in question should be established ; and as no
person had presented a petition for re-hearing, the Court
was still bound by that decree. If the decree could not
be carried into effect, or if a case of gross mismanage-
ment had been made out, the Court might no doubt in-
terfere ; and the real case now before the Court was,
whether a sufficient case of maladministration, to
necessitate such interference, had been established.
He confessed that it did not appear to him that
any such case had been brought before the Court.
It appeared that there remained in the hands of the ad-
ministrators, after paying all expenses, a sum of
35,000 Austrian livres, but that was an unreasonably
large surplus. It had been explained that a sum of
8,000 livres had been transmitted to Constantinople, but
that sum might very properly be devoted to an establish-
ment in that city for the convenience of the Armenian
youths sent from Constantinople to Venice. There was
nothing in the conduct of the administrators which ap-
peared to him flagitious—nothing that required par-
ticular animadversion or even particular
The petition as it seemed to him, had arisen out of what
he might call the excessively officious zeal of the peti-
tioner. He admitted that it was natural that the peti-
tioner, who was the son of the founder of the charity,'
should inquire about the manner of its administration ;
but after all the explanations that hid passed between
him and the monks, he thought it would have been
better to have let the matter drop. It appeared that the
petitioner had advanced the administrators 6901. which
he had not received from the Accountant-General. That
sum should be repaid to him. But taking the petition
altogether, he should dismiss it, and dismiss it with costs.
Mr. Wakefield, :Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Koe, appeared
in the case for the petitioner, and Mr. Bethell for the
monks of St. Lazarus and the Archbishop of Venice, the
present administrators of the charity.
