COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY.

- -
A NOVEL DILEMMA, IN 114/1111TY.
The Loan Cumecustua, on taking lib seat this day on the bench,
particularly called the attention of the Counsel to the novel, and so
his Lordship, truly inexplicable case of taperer Weston, who,
came before Mm on an appeal from the decree of the Viee-ehm,,
cellor.—The suit was instituted for the purpose of obtaining ;„I
order, on the behalf of a person named Michael Bon‘fteld, to pt
under a:Commission of Bankruptcy against two persons risrnA
Bastnsan and Hunter, no less a sum than £17,526, or in the event
of that not being allowed, that an order might issue, decreeing him
to be entitled to prove a sum of £8,406, under the said commission,
On the hearing of the cause by the Vice-Chancellor, an order
issued directing an inquiry, by the Commissioner, whether there
was likely to be any dividend under the commissions and if there
was, the petitioner was to be allowed to use the names of his
win assignees, (he, Michael Bonfield, having also failed), in
order to prove his debt, under the Commission against Balky
and Co. a completely distinct arm. How this order came to be
made, did not appear on the face of the petition, 'Dd.:although his
Lordship, to use his own words, had eisspleped espy rainy day,
tiering site rams, in trying to make biased acquainted with its
meaning, he must protest solemnly, that he had wholly failed. ilk
Loedship was aware of the importance of disposing of the ease ; and
he cmdd not help noticing, that in this, as in many other instants,
in which he had been blamed for delay, the fault lay wholly with
the parties themselves. His Lordship knew (and he spoke in good
humour) what his predecessors would have done with such a petition,
" They would have thrown it at the head of the person presenting
it, and struck it our altogether." He was not, however, inclined
to follow such a mime, in consequence of the heavy expense that
Would be incurred; but if parties would not instruct Counsel sufficient-
ly to enable theni to make their case understood, they must take the
consequence. " In fact,' said his Lordship, Mauling down the Peti-
tion," I wholly despair of that taking place here, unless the whole
case is restated."

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, NOV. Is.

The Rev. Archibald Douglas came up to be heard on
his petition to be discharged, and was opposed by
Mr. Coostc, on behalf of creditors, named Weld and
Louthen. The opposition entirely consisted of an in-
quiry into property.
The insolvent stated that an order had been made
' by the Court of Chancery, in the year 1804, for the pay-
ment to Lady Susan Douglas, his wife, of 1,0001. a-year,
out of the estate of John Carte, a lunatic. The estates
were situate in Jamaica, and were for several years so
unproductive, that the annuity was now 6,0001. in ar-
rear. Ile had two Church livings in Leland, on one of
which he formerly resided, but they were both under
sequestration for the last four years, during which time
he had no income, but lived on the sale of his effects
and assistance of his friends. lie sold within that time
his carriage and horses, all his plate and furniture, and
library, and resided for the greater part of the time in
lodgings in Paris.
It appeared that all the insolvent's notices to his cre-
ditors had not been regularly served, and his discharge
was delayed till they should be completed.

period ; but no definite arrangements have yet been made

call what approaches so near to reality) will be removed. Although
the town is thin of fashionaltk company, yet the fine weather in-
duces great numbers to visit the views of the Cathedral of Chartres

ness an illusion, which to be credited must be seen.

DIORAMA:

on Saturday we were favoured with a private view
of the Diorama, which has been closed a few weeks,
and now opens with two sew views—the Cathedral of
Chartres and the Harbaur of Bred. The latter picture
is beautifully painted ; the ships in the foreground es-
pecially, stand out in a surprisingly natural manner. In
viewing the picture attentively, the tone of colour of the
sky is particularly remarkable for its mellowness, and
at a considerable apparent distance a cloud of smoke is
distinctly seen passing over some of the buildings. The
imitation is so perfect, that it is difficult at first to sup-
pose that it is the mere effect of mechanical contrivance.
The Church of Notre WM. de Chartres is a noble
Gothic edifice, of great antiquity. The walls contain,
as is usual in such buildings, several compartments or
Chapels, and in one of these Chapels the spectator is
placed; or, as the printed description most unacc)unt-
ably expresses it, " the position of the spectator is sup-
posed to be in one of these Chapels close to which the
painter has placed us." On the first glance we remark
the same attention to the accessories which distinpuNied
the last work of the same artist. The stones of the pave-
ment have the aspect of positive solidity. On the step
opposite the Chapel, and consequently with his face to-
wards the spectator, is a devotee kneeling near a large
pillar. This pillar bas a wonderful effect of prominence
and roundness, and appears palpable to feeling as to sight.
The strong light cast upon it is admirably calculated to
bring it forward, and throw back the more distant objects.
A picture suspended on this pillar is so raised to the
eye, that, with the exception perhaps of the lower sha-
dow, it is impossible to perceive that it is not real. On
each side, looking from the Chapel in which he is
placed, the spectator sees an aisle with an arched roof,
supported by double rows of pillars, and beyond these
the windows of stained glass and Chapels formed in
the recesses. On the right he will be particularly pleased
with the beautiful reflection from the stained glass on
one of these pillars. On the left the management of
the cross lights, and of the light and shade generally,
is exceedingly skilful. There are some figures too
which are well disposed, and a banner is placed, leaning
against a column, in such a manner as materially to
a“.l the illusion. Immediately opposite, beyond the
great pillar, is seen the screen which incloses the choir.
It is a rich Gothic composition, and the basso relievos
appear to be singularly fine.

straying the hopes of the Republic. The extent of Torre
Tagle's apostacy, moral and political, it is difficult to
describe. Canterac says to the Viceroy, 4 To-morrow
I will send your Excellency an exact account of the
forces of Bolivar, which Torre Tagle and Berin-
cloaga have freely offered to afford me. They have
given me the assistance of their active co-operation in
subduing those who have not yet acknowledged the ex-
isting authority; and for the accomplishment of this
object, they have dispatched from Lima the necessary
communications, and published a Proclamation, several
copies of which I have the honour to transmit to your
Excellency. Huarochiri, Yauyos, Venac, and other
parts, manifest a strong desire to embrace the protection
of the Spanish Monarchy, and, indeed, the same desire
is extending all over the North:'
" The old, stale trick of printing and circulating
papers to delude the minds of the ignorant, has not been
neglected. I have read one of these documents, called
a Soliloquy, which, for absurdity and impiety, never
was equalled. But all this will not avail. El triumfo
de la Libertad, El Desengano del Hombre, El Derecho
del Hombre, are books that have been extensively pub-
lished in Peru, and, we hope, with good effect. Besides,
there appears to be a smack of jealousy in the head-
quarters here. The fact of La Serna, Canterac, and
Valdez, retaining Peru to this protracted period, creates
the astonishment of every one possessed of a knowledge
of the difficulties they have had to contend with ; but
their success has been greatly owing to a more concilia-
tory mode of conduct towards the inhabitants, than the
feeble, inert, and, in many cases, oppressive govern-
ment of the Patriots; so that every one, for immediate
convenience and interest, is become what is here termed
a Goth or Spaniard.
" Admiral Guise is blockading Callao. He has lately
taken or destroyed the vessels of war which the Royalists
took possession of at the fall of that place.
" By letters received at Arequipa, from Lima, it ap-
pears that Siitish property has been respected. The
house of Cochran, Robertson, and Co. has contracted to
supply the fortress of Callao with 12 months' provisions.
4. The Fly will leave Callao on the Tartar's arrival ; the
Mersey will be stationed in the intermediate ports, oc-
casionally visiting the two principal places, Callao and
Valparaiso. The Aurora may return to Callao from San
Blas, by the latter end of Juno ; but it is thought that
It will be some time in July : she then proceeds to Rio
and England. These are the only vessels of war this
side of the Horn."

The reported successes of the Greeks in the recap-
ture of Ipsara, and the destruction of a portion of the
Turkish fleet, are so positively repeated, from so many
different quarters, that there seems little reason to
doubt the truth of the statements. In a preceding page
we have given some gratifying intelligence from Greece,
which we copy from the French Papers; and we are
now enabled to add confirmatory news from the Dutch
Papers received this forenoon. If these accounts are
to be relied on, the capture of Ipsara has been a dear
and a useless sacrifice on the part of the Turks. It is said
that all the Turks that were on the island, to the num-
ber of 22,000, were killed. Indeed, the explo,ion of
the fort of St. Nicolo was likely to accomplish this
wholesale desolation alone, if so many persons were
crowded around it, or on so small an island. The suc-
cess of the Greeks against the invading fleet appears
to have been equally great: three frigates, a corvette,
eight sloops, and fifty-five gun-boats, are said to have
been taken or destroyed. Should these accounts be
true, the much-boasted expedition of the Captain Pacha
must have been nearly annihilated; and the Greeks,
flushed with victory, will be ready for the Egyptian
fleet, which was to have joined that of the Captain
Pacha. The following are the accounts in the Amster-
Idank Courant:

p, the fol-
ade :

In page 573 of the last Qmarterly A.
towing remarks on the trade of Haiti were
"In the letter from M. Inginac to his anonymous
Correspondent, he says, that the cotnmerce of Haiti
is increasing, and • that the quantity 'of coffee pro-
duced in 1823, will be a third mori'than 1822."
" As Great Britain and the United States are repre-
sented by the Haitian documents to be the greatest
importers of coffee, the returns of these countries
ought to shew this increase."
"In 1822, 'Great Britain imported from Haiti
41,632 cwt. or 4,662,784 lbs. in weight, which the
Hairian document gives as being 13,548,591 dollars
in value—an 'obvious mistake, for both statements

cannot be correct. Taking the smaller quantity as
being most favourable to M. Inginac's accuracy, by
adding one-third to it, ive have 6,217,045 lbs. weight
which Great Britain ought to have imported from
Haiti in 182$ instead'of which, the official documents
laid before Parliament chew that only 44,422 cwt.
or 4,952,864 tbs. of coffee was received from Haiti."
in 'reply to these remarks, ANGLUS has made the fol-
lowing assertions
44 The Reviewer reprpsents the document as having
stated that 13,548,591 eosnds weight of coffee was
actually imported into Great Britain in 1822, whereas
the document only states that hi that year, that qUan-
tity was exported from Haiti in ships belonging to
Great Britain."

This is inerb asiertiois, which AiseLos has not at-
tempted to support by any evidence whatever: and it
difficult to imagine how any person who had looked
aver the returns, could entertain a supposition, much
less make a public assertion, so obviously at variance
with the fset.
Ou referring to the document, it • will be seen that
he words " Grande Bretagne" are at the beginning of
the line in which the quantity of coffee mentioned by
ANGLUS is entered. The Reviewer then conceived these
vords to designate that the coffee was exported to, or
leared but for this country in the first instance; and
Auctus imagines that the coffee was Merely exported
from Haiti io British ships.
Now, if the supposition of AwoLus, with respect to.
the import of the words r' Grande Bretagne," were cot-
'ea, it would follow that the words " Etit Unis," in the
following column would denote, trot the exports to the
United States, but merely the exports from Haiti in
American vessels.
But in the offitial statement of the trade of the United
States for the same year, 1822, to which I referred in
my last lette', it is shewn, that not only vessels belong-
ing to the United States were employed in that trade
'll4 ith Haiti, but also vessels belonging to Italian States,

LETTRR IX.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
Sta—Although I cannot fiat. feel confident thatb to
bnpfejediced minds, my previous letters on the Hai-
tian document must be held to be more than sttfficient
to vindicate the Reviewer against the principal charges
of AxoLul, still there remain some of his assertions
which I have not yet been able to notice, and which so
easily admit of ample refutation, that I cannot but in-
dulge the hope, that one more Lette- on this branch of
the. controversy may not prove unacceptable to my
Readers.
As an easy reference to the Haitian document will
teed to render mote intelligible the remarks which I
shall have occasion to make, I have taken the following
copy of it from the British and Colonial Weekly Re-
gister of 25th September, 1824, the Editor of which
Journal has stated that his copy was transetibed from
the original, nod which, in another place, he says was in
the hand-writing of M. login= t

Until Mr. Ackermann set the example, by his beauti-
ful little volume, the Forget me Not, we were much
behind our Continental neighbours in works of this de-
scription ; they only wanted "to be introduced to become
popular, and the style in which they are got up is as
creditable to the liberality of the publishers as to the
talent of the artists employed on their embellishment.
The Literary Souvenir consists of a great variety of
original articles, in poetry and prose, not merely from
the pen of Mr. Watts, which in• itself would be a strong
recommendation, but lie has been assisted with contri-
butions from the pens of—
Sir Walter Scott ; Thomas Campbell, Esq. Mrs. Hemans; the
Rev. C. It. Nlaturin; James Montgomery, Esq.; L. E. 1.. Author
of the Improvisatrice; .Lianes Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd; the
Rey. W. Lisle Bowles; the Editor of the Literary Gazette • J. H.
Witfen, Esq. Mrs. Opie; Delta (of B'nekitaioils :he Au-
thor of ;Ifay'yoli like it, end The Bagman ; the late Ishmael
Fitzadam. the Sailor Poet ; the late Herbert Knowles; Mrs. Corn-
well Daron Wilson, &c. &c. &c. • . s .
The embellishments consist of ten highly-finished en-
gravings, in the 144. manner, by Charles Heath,Fincien,
and others, from designs by Copland Fielding, Cor-
bould, Nash, &c., .The whole forms a most elegant
work,. well calculated for a Christmas present, and de-
serving a favourite place on the shelf of every cabinet
library. We have only room. for one extract, a short
poetical piece by the Editor, whose talents are known
to the world by an exquisite volume of poems published
about twelve months ago.

A WOMAN'S FARZTELL.

IT ALARIC A. WATTS.
Fare thee well ! 'Ds meet we parr,
Since other ties and hopes are thine;
Pride, that can nerve the lowliest heart,
Will surely strengthen mine!
Yes, I will wipe my tears away,
Repress each struggling sigh,
Call back the thoughts thou led'st astray,
Then lay me down and die !
Fare thee well;—I'll not upbraid
Thy fickleness or falsehood now :
Can the wild taunts of love betrayed
Repair one broken vow ?
lint if reproach may wake regret,
In one so false or weak,
'Think what I was—when first we met,
And read it—on my cheek !
Fare thee well! On yonder tree
One leaf is fluttering in the blast,
Withered and sere—a type of me—
For I shall fade as fast!
Whilst many a refuge still lust thou,
Thy wandering heart to sate
From the keen pangs that wring mine now,
1 have but one—the grave !

PUBLIC COMPANIES.

Yesterday, on the Foreign Stock Exchange, the atten-
tion of capitalists was nearly exclusively directed to the
Shares of Public Establishments. The Real del Meats
Mexican Mining Shares wtre sold as high as 7781. eac's
Share ; but that this was speculation, was speedily ren-
dered apparent by their almost instantaneous decline to
550 guineas each. They afterwards advanced to about
6501. each, and a great deal of business was done in
them. It is proper here to observe that the Shares of
this Company are 4001. each, nn which an advance of
701. each has been made. Angle Mexican Mang
Shares also felt the full force of public opinion, for
they advanced in the morning to 461. afterwards de•
dined to 581. and the last price was 42/.
The shares of this Company are LlOO each, and the
money actually advanced on each share is £lO. The
United Mexican Shares are £4O each, and £l2 a share
has already been advanced. In the morning they
were sold at £44 each share, fell to LSI, and closed at
£4l. The great improvement which has occurred
within these few drys in the Mexican Mining Shares is
mainly to be Uttributed to the very friendly manner in
which the natives received the Engli.h Miners when
they commenced their operations, for it had been pre-
viously doubtful, whether national prejudice would not
have possessed itself of the place of common sense, and
prevented foreigners from interfering with the internal
sources of wealth possessed by this vast Republic.—
Canadian Shares likewise felt the effects of public
opinion, for they were yesterday much in demand,
and have commanded a premium of £8 per cent.—
Another most important establishment has been formed,
denominated the Liverpool and Manchester Rail-road
Company. The money robe raised is 400,0001. in four
thousand shares of 1001. each, and the advantage to be
gained is the quick and cheap dispatch of met chandize
in that district. One thousand tons of merchandiee
pass daily between Liverpool and Manchester, and by
the route of the Canals. the average time taken is 86 hours,
and the expense 15s. per ton, whilst, by the proposed
rail-road, the time will be reduced from thirty-sis to
five hdnrs, and the expense from 156. to 10s. per ton.
That quick returns and low charges constitute the soul
of trade is undeniable, and the establishment of this
Company will confer a great benefit on Briti,h com-
merce. Its advantages are so apparent, that the shares
are 'eagerly sought after, and a premium of twenty-five
per cent. has already been paid on them. Free and
rapid communication must extend commerce, and when
it is known that shares in the Old Quay 110,2 ration,
which originally cost 701. are now worth I, each,
the necessity of competition is placed beyond dispute,
for this profit is too large for justice to be done to the
people. To the shares of the above Companies, the
next, yesterday, in importance is the Greek Loan, which
has experienced a farther advance of nearly two per
cent. the Bonds having been sold at 551.
