Letters from several of the West India Islands state,
that, owing. to the great drought, the crops are
spciiled. In some pmts, where last year two or three
thbusand hogsheads of sugar were made, only two

COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY.

QUZENSBICRRY LEGATIVITIIPZIA S. V. MON TOON RY.

The LORD CitaxcEta.on this morning, referring
to what took place in this case yesterday, observed,
that the claims are to a great extent, but that it is
probable they m ill not all be made good. That the
pi inciple to be acted upon in this case is the same as
if there was a single creditor of 4.:,200: that accord-
ing to the practice of the Court, Stock sufficient to
answer all the claims ought, to be now set aside to
answer these cl aims; and in the event of these claims
being established, the parties will be entitled to the
Stock so set asiJe—that is, to he placed in the same
Situation ai if they were phi in Stock today, and
this done, by giving them the produce of the Stock
since the appropriation, and the Stock so appropriated.'
The consult of parties, though infants, was not ne-
cessary. This was the only arrangement the Court
could make where there are contingent claiins. His
Lordship desired the Counsel to consider the view he
hail now thrown ont,'and to move the petition again,
when they had-fully .adv ised on the subject.
The Loan CRANCRLLOR said, that he should sit
every day in Court until the 12th of August, and
that he begged Counsel would not request of him to
hear any business but what was regularly before him,
in order that he might leave the Court on the 12th
Of August, to get a little breathing time preparatory
to the great business coming on, on the 17th of that
month. .

The Addresses from Rochester and Morpeth, and
a third, called an Address from the Females of Eng-
land, were this day presented to the QUEEN, to each

legitimate reigning Monarchs in Europe, not one has
been yet crowned. CHARLES JOHN, of Sweden, has
put this seal upon his dignity ; and in this respect he
stands alone.
