REAL DEL MONTE MINE COMPANY.
KINDER V. TAYLOR AND OTHERS.

This morning having been fixed by the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR for giving judgment in this important cause,
the Court was at an early hour crowded by persons
interested in the question.

Our Readers are aware that the cause comes before
the Court on a motion for an injunction to restrain the
defendants from working the Bolanos Mine, and praying
the Court to allot plaintiff his share therein. The real
question at issue was, whether the Bolanos Mine was
or was not part of the property of the Del Monte Mine
Company ? as it was in his capacity as a shareholder
in the latter Company that the plaintiff claimed an
interest in this mine.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in pronouncing his decision,
entered into a minute examination of the deed of settle-
ment under which the Del Monte Company was
formed, and commented thereon, and expressed a strong
suspicion that it came within the scope of the words,
14 assuming to act as a Corporate Body," and thus
rendered itself liable to the penalties of the Bubble Act.
This, however, was a question which he did not feel
himself then called on to decide. As the public had of
late been much engaged in speculations of this kind,
be thought it would not be amiss for him to caution
them, that however carefully the deed of settlement
might be drawn up, still it was utterly impossible
for it to restrain their liability to third persons, for
contracts entered into by the Company to one
farthing less than the full amount of whatever they
might, then be, or ever lifter should become possessed
of. The extent of their liability could only be limited
by the extent of their means. The bill before him
stated that the plaintiff had contracted for certain of
the mines in question, with the Envoys and Ministers
Plenipotentiary of the Court of Peru, in the year 1813.
He had no hesitation in saying, that it this part of the
bill were an essential one, he should feel himself called
on at once to dismiss it, for it was impossible that
the King's Courts could take cognizance of the exist-
ence of Governments at a time that the King himself
did not recognise them.
The LoRD CHANCELLOR proceeded at great length to
comment on different parts of the deed of settlement,
and concluded by expressing his belief that the Bolanos
Mine was no part of the property belonging to the Del'
Monte Company, but was a distinct and separate un-
dertaking, in which it did not appear that the plaintiff
had any interest. He should, therefore, refuse to grant
the motion for an injunction, and dismiss the bill.

The detachment of troops which were on board the
late ship Kent, intended to be conveyed in the Hon.
Company's ship Charles Grant, Capt. WIU.IMA HAY,
have received orders to remain a month, and the Charles
Grant will consequently sail for Bengal direct on the
10th of April.
The Duke of York, lately arrived, has been taken up
for China, instead of the Charles Grant.
A letter from Madrid states, that instruction in the
Greek and English languages, and the mathematics, has
been discontinued in the Cillele at Bilboa, by order of
the Government, and the Professors dismissed. The
English Professor was a Mr. LOFTUS. The same letter
states, that all soldiers who served under the Constitu-
tion have been discharged, and ordered to return home.
Letters from Demerara, by the Huskisson, to the
14th of February, slate, that owing to the continuance
of extreme dry weather, the Canals were nearly all
dry, which put almost a total stop to making sugar,
from want of conveyance. If rain did not soon some,
great alarm was felt for provisions for the negroes.—
The Colony was perfectly quiet.
A hasty turn-so took place on Tuesday last, at Arles-
ford, between David Hudson and a person named
Smith, owing to a dispute relative to the intended bat-
tle which wa. to have been fought by Gipsy Jack and
the Flying Tinker, on that day. Hudson was more
than over matched by his opponent, and was obliged,
though reluctantly, to cry enough.
