meeting of the Shareholders of the above Company. was
held in Batson s, yesterday, Mr. Robertson in the Chair.
There were only fourteen Gentlemen in the room. Mr.
Robertson said, although in point of number s, the meet-
ing was small, it represented a large majority of the
Shareholders of the Company.—He. of hjniself,ond by
proxy, held 660 shares, and altogether in the room,
there were the representatives of 1,200 out of a otal of
about 1,600 shares sold. He added, that the case in the
Vice Chancellor's Court had been dismissed, solely on
account of an informality. The Bill against the Di-
rectors was filed by five persons, as Trustees for thereat,
and the Vice Chancellor held that they could riot file a
bill as Trustees; but that in any bill to be filed every
party to it could represent no one but himself. It was
the opinion of the Attorney General, and of Mr. Knight,
whom the Trustees had consulted, that if this inform-
ality was removed, not only was there an almost positive
certainty of the bill's passing, but, on the me, its of the
question, there was a probability of success.—A Share.
holder asked the state of the funds subscribed fOr car-
rying on the suit ? Chairman—There are none in
point of fact, less than none, for the half downs s share
subscribed bT the proprietors are not only expended,
but our Solicitor has an account of 801. against us not
yet paid: long conversation ensued, in which the
principal speakers were-T-111r. W. Clarke, the Chairman, and Mr.
, the Solicitor of.tise Shareholders. It was at length ottani.
measly agreed to go on with the suit, by Sling an amended bill, as
advised by Counsel; and to defray the expenses of this preceediog,
another half-crown per abate was entered Into. In the course of
the day; it was distinctly stated that there was no distinction in re-
spect of the validity of their claims on the Directors between the
original Shareholders tad the Scriphoiders.

Commodore Brown, as was before stated, had gone
overland to join the Chilian squadron. He had a body
of seamen with him, and was to meet the ships at Bahia
Blanca. It is mild, that in his last engagement with the
Brazilians, he was not• supported by hit own vessels;
and that his ship, The 2.5 th of May, is considered unfit
to be repaired. Cesaral-of the Brasilion vessels had
also gone into Monte Video to repair ; and Captain
Grenfell, of the Caboclo, has had his arm amputated at
the shoulder. 1

Monte Video continues closely invested by seven bun.
dyed cavalry, and provisions are very scarce. The
garrison is 3.500 strong, chiefly infantry ; and Colonia,,
almost the only position now occupied by the Imperial-,
ists in the other parts of the province, contain 1,000, or
1,2(.0. In consequence of the report that the Buenos
/weans meditate an invasion of Rio-Mande, General
Le Cor was soon to leave Monte Video to take the
command at Santa Ana, the head-quarters, where, it is
said, there are 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. The
Patriot head.quarters are at Dutazno, SO leagues from
that place, and SO from Monte Video.
The paper currency has depreciated at Buenos Ayres, so that a
doubloon is worth 26 paper dollars.

iiired his inability to do :44 inconsequence of an ac-

a. question upon a point arising out of the argument of
Counsel, to which he had no recollection that either of
thy' Chief Justices had adverted when they gave
their opinion. •
Mr. Sussex observed, that owing, to the leaving oat of a single

The LORD Cumitst,s.Cre said, he never would give
judgment in any case respecting. the disposal of pro-

he hoped every succeeding Lord Chancellor would act

suggesting every point that might arise out of this
question, he would appoint 'the first seal for a rehearing,

Mr. Scannell"! moved for a rule to shew cause why
ft criminal information should not be filed against the
Rev; Henry Lacy (a Magistrate residing in the county
of Hertfixd), for refusing to renew the license to a public
house situated in the parish of Tring, in the same county.
ifhe Learned Counsel said, that the proof of this charge
ested.upon circumstantial evidence alone. The proses
, utor (Mr. Hay.) had made purchase of considerable
anded property, inchiding. alMost tbe.whole village of
ring, which parish.enntains a population of 5,500 in-
labitarnts,, and in which there were six public houses.
Amongst these was one known by the name of the
Green Man. He expended a large sum of money its
repairing and beautifying this inn during the last year,
and whilst the workmen were yet engaged in these re-
pairs dec. the Magistrate complained of, expressed Mm.
self highly. satisfied sails the iinpi ovements that were
cats yang on, and had frequently observed, in the course
of conversation, that he thought it would be an ohm
meat to the inn. He also expsessed himself in terms
of approval of Mr. Tomkins, who was to be the new
tenanr of the house. Notwithstanding all this, when the
teeming day arrived, to the absolute ,astonishment of
the plaintiff, he refused to renew the license for that
house. This refusal was effected thrssugh the corrupt
intervention of Mr. Lacy (the defendant), who not only
voted himself against the renewal, but had gone about
canvassing one or two other Magistrates to do thermals..
This shameful conduct the prosecutor c.sn only attri
bute to a recent resentment which Mr. Lacy entertained'
towards him.. The following was the reason he so sari,
buted to it:—Mr. Lacy had been Curate and Minisien
of Tring:for many years, aid during the course of Mr
pastoral supei intendancei f his flz-,c k. had chanced to en-
gage himself in sundry, birOile• eiiili hit parishioners..-.
()nevi these fracas led the parties into the Ecclesiastical
Court. The result of this case was, that the bill of costs,
amounting to 2001. was saddled upon his (defendant's)
thouldem, which he ensfeavouredto shift upon the shoul-
ders of the "latish; bat was strenousiy . opposed in the
execution of this laudable endeavour by the prosecutor.
This tie prosecutor concludes is the origin of the Bev.
Gentleman's resentment. Corruptioh could not be di.
rosily brought home to him, it was to are,. but i ne of the
Magistrates, the Rev. W. Bingham, who voted against
(he License, moved ford reconsideration. of the case. At
an adjourned sitting of the BArch, be said he had been
imposed upon in giving his vote against it on the for.
mer occasion ; but Mr. L icy replied, that as it had
been decidedbefore a full Board of Justices, the ques-
tion could not be reconsidered. At a subsequent period
a 1.% while in conversation with another person, he
said, G. leis better for Torokins that he has not got the
license, for it could not de him any. rod, and it will.
let Hay see, that money will not enable him to
do everythinr."
Mr. Justice Saner said. that there did not appear to be suffi-
cient evidence to call upon the Court to suspend the functions of a
Grand Jury. The cue was altogether of so complicated a nature.
that his .Lordship thought it most advisable Las submit it to the atten-
tion of a Grand Jury.—The rule was accordingly refused.

~ Oa this defendant being brought into Court,
Mr. Justice Devise thus addressed him Cornelius Callan/
han, you are brought up to receive the sentence of the Court, after
bevies been found guilty of the. awful crime -of wilful perjUry."

pone seatescing bim till he had furnished certaiu affidavits, which
lie was sure would recommend him to the mercy of the Court.—
Defendant was ordered to be brought up on Monday.

1111141 ELL P. rum sumo, Or LIXCOLN:
Mr. PATTISOK was heard in reply in this special ar-
gument. This was a suit of quirts hapedit, the Bishop
of Lincoln having refused to allow the presentation of
'a Gentleman named Oder to the living of Welby, in
Lincolnshire. The plaintif, who is the administratrix
of the late Mr. Rennell, one of the Prebends of Sr
buryl.itlairned the right of presentation, and was op.
posed by the Bishop of Lincoln, on the ground that the
right of presentation had always been in ecclesiastical,
matron lay handy. The Court of Common Pleas having
decided' inr favour of the Right Rev, defendant, the
question came before this Court on a writ of error.
Mr. ineneen liming finished his argument,

both sides with great learning. The Court will take
time to consider, and you will have the benefit of the
Lord Chief .fustice's-decision."

I Mr. CAMPSZLL moved for a rule to thew cause why
a criminal information should not be filed against a
Gentleman named Whitehead. He made the applica-
tion at the instance of the Rev. Henry Campbell, a
Magistrate for the county of Gloucester. It arose out
of the transaction which he mentioned to the Court yes-
terday. He had no legal evidence to prove that Mr.
Whitehead was the author of the publication be read
yesterday, but he had direct evidence to criminate him
to suds a deism as to make him answerable for what he

—The plaintiff's name was formerly Barclay, who ii
will bt recollected incurred the' severe displeasure 01
:the Lcird Chancellor, for clandestinely marrying a ward
.in Chancery, of the name he has now assumed, and who
'was for a considerable period incarcerated in the Fleet
,Prisnn. Ilia action was brOught to recover the sum of
7,0001. and upwards, money bad and received by the
defendant for the use of plaintiff's wife before their
marriage. The defendant applied for this ruleoa the
ground that the husband could not sue fur a debt -due,
to his wife before marriage, without the wife joining in
the cause; and. Mr. Sergeant WILDE quoted as a me
in point, one where the husband sued out a commission
of bankrupt against a person upon a debt contracted
with his wife before marriage, when this doctrine was
beld,and-the commission superseded. This, the Learned
Sergeant contended, was sufficient to entitle him to his
rule., without referring to the manner in which the Lord
Chancellor had thought proper to settle this property.

COURT OF CON-DELEGATES, Nov. 24.

CLAW v. DM
In this case Drs. AWL% Denson, Satzionar, and &ace, sat as
COO•Delegates. •
This case came before the Court in the way of an
appeal from the Prerogative Court, which had decided
against the validity of a will left by. Dr. Stott, of Hart-
street, Bloomsbury, by which he left the bulk of his
property to some distant relatives, to the exclusion of
Mrs. Dew, his only child. It appeared that Dr. Stott
was labouring under a' most singular delusion upon
religious subjects ; and that he conceived his daughter
was a most vicious and ab.ndoned character ; although
in the estimation of other persons her reputation was
unblemished, and her conduct unexceptionable. Under
those circumstances, Sir JOHN Ntcstor. ordered the will
to be set aside, and from this decision Messrs. Clarke, to
whom the testator left best part of his property, appealed.
The Con-Delegates ordered the warrant to be sent up to the
High Court of Delegates in the ordinary way, on the first day of
next Term.
