ANGLO-MEXICAN ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday a very numerous Meeting of the S are.
holders in this Association took place at the City of
London Tavern. DAVID BARCLAY, Esq. in the Chair.
This was the first General Meeting of die Proprietors,
and a full Report of the proceedings in Mexico was
read., It contained, first, an enumeration of the Mines,
above thirty is number, along with a statement of the
respective proportions of the annual profit on each Mine
to the Company, in consideration of an advance. The
Mines in Mexico, it appeared, are in no degree the pro-
perty of the G Iva nment ; they belong to individuals;
and no foreigners were admitted into partnership in
those concei ns, until the disasters of the Revolution, and
the civil war, began in the year 1810, deprived the
IMite Owners of the capital requisite for the under-
Itakings. The general purport of the Report was, that
considerable progress had been made in raising the
water from the inundated Mines; that quantities of ore
had been extracted from the upper part of Mines; and
that tie processes of stamping, amalgamating, and
smelting, were in progress. The Report spoke with con-
fidence of the. ultimate success of the undertaking ; and
the Directors expressed a coftviction, that if those
Mines had been, dining the last century, a source of
great profit. even under the great disadvantages of the
Mexican method, the einpl .yment of Engl sh capital
and machinery would not fail to render them much
more valuable.

A very tavourable statement from the First Commis-
sioner in Mexico was transmitted to the Directors. '

Mr. Powuts (one of the Commissioners) read an ab-
stract of the receipts and expenditure of the Associa-
tion from its commencement two years ago, exhibiting
on one side the receipt of eight instalments, and on the
other the appropriation of the money, which was ex-
4pairded partly in the purchase of quiasilver, machinery,
sthres, but in a greater degree in advances
tift,die spot, for making the Mines. The amount of
the receipts was upwardr of 400,0001. and the amount
of the expenditure r 'tiler exceeded that sum.

No disco Alen whatever took place upon the subject. The Re
114 W woo agreed to, and ordered to be printed, and after thanks
were voted to the Chairman, the Meeting bryke up.

PETERSBORON —The Imperial Court of Petersburgh
has assumed the ordinary mourning, commencing from
the 9th ult. Every day funeral services are celebrated
at the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Cassan, and in all
the Churches. Crowds of the faithful appear at the
foot of the- altars, to deposit the tribute of their tears
and prayers for the beloved parent of whom they have
'been deprived.
The reported abdication of the Emperor CONSTANTINE
appears to be much credited in France. The reasonings
of the French Journalisx on the asserted event are
curious. One supposes that CONbTA NTINIS wishes.to be
King of Poland ; another, that he means to turn Monk ;
and a third, that having fixed his mind on becoming
Esoperor of Constantinople, he is a Ming to give up the
throne of St. Petersburgh. But all these are the vague
ideas of the respective authors. Certain it is, that Cos.
STANTINS has been formally proclaimed Empe, 441
beyond that, all is at prevent mere conjecture and-
, heartay.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JANUARY 4.

Gabriel Saimaa, of Canterbury, dealer in watches
and jewellery, was opposed by Mr. PoLLoCE on behalf
of several creditors. The case had been before the
Court on a for mer day ; it was then referred to Mr.
Dance; and it pow came on again, and lasted nearly the
whole of the day. The opposition was grounded en
three points—namely, that the insolvent had withheld
one of his bo ks from the Court ; 2dly, that he had
made away with property seen in his possession in June
last; and &fly, that he had been guilty of concealment
of pro,,erty. With respect to the first point, a creditor
named Ansel swore, that in the month of June last, the
insolvent, to induce him to accept of his brother-in-
law's bills in payment of his own, produced an account-
book to prove his saliency, which book differed from
' the one produced to the Court, In being three times its
size, and covered with dirty white parchment, instead
of marble-cfiloured pasteboard. In addition to the un-
satisfactory nature of his answers in cross-examination
by Mr. HEATH, touching bis having recognised the
band-wi iting of a Mr: Phillips in this book, the witness's
testimony onthis part of the case was met by the direct
contradiction of the insolvent, who could neither wtite

nor read (except Hebrew), and the evidence of insol-
vent's sister-in-law, Miss Emanuel, who swore that she
came to the insolvent at Car.terbury, from. Devonshire
in June last, and made him'a present of the book now
in Court, %%bleb was the only one she had ever seen in
his vistession ; and the first entries in which had beet,
made by herself, from chalks on the insolvent's doors,
window-shutters, and bits of paper. It contained no
other hand-ssriting than her's and that of a person
named Baker. As to the second point, it was sworn
by Ansell, .that upon the above occasion the insolvent
also sbewed him a bureau, the top of which was filled
with apparently from 80 to 100 watches, and a case or
two ofjjjewellery, in all not worth less than from SOU
to 6001.otnd another creditor, named Moss, stated that
thesame month the insolvent sheaved him a quantity
of watches, &c. in a drawer of a bureau. This was
also contradicted by the insolvent, and by Miss Ema-
nuel, who swore that he had not only no watches, &c.
but even no boreal; in his possession. The third point
was grounded upon- the evidence of Miss Emanuel,
who admitted in cross-examination, that she had pawned
a few articles which the insolvent had left with her in
a small box ; but they were so trifling in value, that it
failed her to raise 21. 10s. Upon them: and she h.td
therefore been oViged, in addition to them, to pledge
her own pelisse and two gowns, for the support of the
insolvent and her sister.

Mr. Pou.ocK contended, that notwithstanding the
conflicting nature of the evidence before the Court, the
testimony of the opposing creditors was entitled to full
credit, min oboe ateri :15 it WA :i by the fact that they ba►l

at length been able to niter the conceal:bent of some
praperty.at leasitp.on the rat of. life insolvent, although
not to the amount which they believed to exist.
Mr. HEATH, on the insolvent's he half, argued x ith
great ingenuity, from the different circumstances of the
case, that .the truth lay on the side of his client; and
•altlitatigh . he. admitted that Miss Emanuel had done
vkrong in keeping hack and pledging the few articles
which had been in her possession, yet that very fact,
reloktantly disclosed as it had been towards the close of
tier crbia-examioation, proved the-state of utter poverty.
and distress in which the insolvent was, which could not
have been the sse, it he had had all the property con-
ce sled which was attributed to him by the witnesses on
the other side.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONZA observed, that this was a
case of considerable importance, as all cases were in
which there was conflicting testimony; for, undoubtedly
there must be deliberate perjury on ore side or the'
other. In every case of imputed fraud, the Court must
hr bat:shed that a c sse had been thoroughly established
of a penal nature, before aey would venture to act
upon it. Now it was a most singular circumstance,
that in all his (the Learhed Ctief Commissioner's) ex-
perience, both, in this Court and in bankruptiy, and it
was not inconsiderable, he had never knowtr a single
case between persons of the same persuasion (Jewish)
as these parties, which was not supported on either side
by the most opposite, direct, and conflicting testimony.
This was a most singular fatality, but it was the fact,'
and he would not now attempt to account for it. The
present opposition was grounded on three points The,
first, namely, the non-production of a book, was not
proved to the satisfaction of the Court, particularly
tin! witlzer Aar. Phillips nor Mr. Baker, who could

have set the matter beyond all doubt, had been
dueed ; and therefore the Court did not think it wad'
be safe to convict on that point. Then with respect
to the second,—the alleged possession by the insol-
ent of property in June last. for which he had notes
accounted,—the Court felt the arguments of the Learned
Counsel. Mr..lleath, to he of considerable weight.—
Undoubtedly a public sale of the insolvent's goods hod
taken place ta October last ; and for some time priors()
that, no dealings of his crold be traced, from which his
supposed possession of this property could be inferred ;
and therefore. notwithstanding the testimony of Messrs.
Ansel and Most, as to its existence, the Court, upon that
point it&i, did not think it would be safe to rely upon
their evidence. Not of le had these persons-semi as
to the quantity of jewellery and watches which they
had seen, but they had even described the very place
in which the property was deposited—namely, a bureau.
Now not only was it denied by Miss Emanuel that the
insolvent had a bureau in his possession, but there was
uo such article meirrirned in the catalogue of the sale,
nor in the list of his excepted articles. These circum-
stances, therefore, raised such a doubt in the minds of
the Court as induced them to think it unsafe to act uron
this charge as if it had been proved: Now, as to the
third point, that some property had been conce.iled, the
case was very different !goon the archer two, It was said
by the Learned Counsel, that this was Miss Emanuel's
own act, and that the only effect of it was, by sheaving
the poverty of the insolvent, to confirm the truth of his
statement. The Court was satisfied to give him the
benefit of that argument so far as it had weight ; but i.
alas proved the existence of some property kept back,
and that within his knowledge ; for she st .ted that these
articles remained with her in a small box, and that she
had it from him. Upon this point, therefore, the Court
would order the insolvent to be remanded for some time
for concealment of property ; and they would pronounce
their judgment to-morrow, after' he should have com-
pleted the necessary alterations in his schedule.
George Chapman, late of the Roebuck Inn,Chigwell,
Essex, was opposed by Mr. HEATH; on behalf of Messrs.
Currie, the distillers.
It appeared from the statement given by the insol-
vent, that in Nov. 1824; he received 1 5291. from the
Court of Exchequer, and then took the Roebuck Inn;
his debts then amounted to about 3001. or 400/. He
received, from the opposing creditors 151. in cash. and
spirits to the amount of 641. no part of which had been
paid. He had, however spent the whole of his money,
borrowed 5001. of his mother, and contracted several,
debts which hewas unable to pay. He quitted the
house in September, and it was then valued at 5901
but as he was indebted to his brewer, he had only 701.
to receive. He denied having kept a hunter, but im-
puted his losses to the sale of hay. It was proved that
the insolvent had put the opposing creditors to SO/. ex-
pense, by bringing a writ of error, and when a com-
promise which he offered, was rejected, he became very
insolent, and holding up his watch, said it would pay
the debt.
The CHiti COSIMiSSIONER, after making a few re-
marks upon the insolvent's unprincipled conduct, or-
dered him tobe imprisoned eight months.
Joseph Banks, a grocer, of Battersea, who had con-
tracted several large debts, and then fraudulently els,
posed of his business, was also ordered tobe imprisoned
eight months. .
- -
George Warm/Won, a linen.druser,,-.6f pradtord,
"Wilts, was next brought up. He Wai diested
months ago ; but was bailed, and then he assigned over
all his property by bill 'of sale to One of the sureties.
The property was sold, and a cons'derable sum was
expended in useless legal and travelling expen.es. •
The CHIZIICOhIMISSIONER ordered'the insolvent to be
imprisoned six months, and recommended the creditors
to proceed against the bail and the attorney, and com-
pel them to refund the nrrney they had unjustly put
into their 'pockets.

•
Died, at Sheldon, Warwickshire, aged 55, Miss
Mary Sheldon. The following munificent bequests to
charities in Birmingham have been made by this Lady;
—l,OOOl. to the Hospital ; 1,0001. to the Dispensary ;
1,0001. to the Blue School; 1,0001. to the S :ciety
for Promoting Christian Knowledge; and the interest
of 1,0001. for ten poor women who attend the regular
worship of the Church.
Saturday, in Manchester-street, Manchester-square,
an explosion of gas took place in the street (from some.
escape in the popes, as it is said) and blew ail the win—
dows of the three upper stories of M jor Roesn's and
the next two houses, and deranged some of the objects
within ; but more particularly the Marchioness of
Haarectan's house, in Manchester-square, was exposed
and injured, the windows and doors being burst from
their hinges and hangings, and almost the whole of the
glass in the frames demolished. Three men were
knocked down by the shock, and were a long time be-
f:lre they were brought to. Part of the street was
blown up, and nearly one thousand persons were as-
sembled, astonished at the tirect produced. Several
Ladies and cliii.iren Note so tett rifrd by the shock that
some are yet indisposed from the effect.
A %ta.ement has been published by order of the Po-
lice Coninlittee of Aldermen, of the number of short
stage c. aches standing in the streets of the city of
Lan-
don, and of the daily number of journeys performed by
them. The number of coaches is four hundred and,
twenty-one, and the number of journeys each day, is
1,191. This, it is to be remarked, is only the number
standing in the city. The number for the rest of the
metropolis is, we suppose, still greater.
In the night of Friday, the coach-office, near the Cups
Inn, Colchester, was broke open and robbed of property
in notes, sovereigns, and silver, to the amount of 301. a
hunting watch, and various parcels.
The diligence between Madrid and Bayonne was a,-
tacked by robbers at the village of Foncarrol, about a
league from Madrid. A casket, containing two parcels,
which the Queen had destined for the Princess of LIICC2,
and Prince Maximilian of Saxony, was stolen. The
entire contents was of gold and brilliants, valued at
about three millions of teals.

John Itlonro, the old man in Glenary, Argyl
famed for his singular predilection for immersin, t
self in cold water, breathed his last on the 15th

at the advanced age of 99. For many years it was his
daily practice to plunge, with his clothes on, into the'
river Arca; and so far did habit become second ram;
that if compelled to remain any length of tintertwith
dry skin, he felt all the uneasiness of a fish out of waiter.,
Thursday, a sailor of the name of George Harris,
a man of colour, was proceeding to his vessel, lying in
Ramsgate harbour, when, having gone ton near the
edge of the East Pier, just below► the flag staff, it being
very dark, he walked over, and was drowned.
