tilr. AEAME Said, that this was a bll Which hadl been filed by I the Hon. WVm. Dorset Fellowes against the defendant Air. Page, to compelhimu to pay into court the amount which he had received out of the sale of the coronation fixtures and furniture used in Illcst. min%ter-hall, during the ceremony of His A.ijesty's coronation. The VICE-CHIANCELLOR inquired what answer the defendant had given to this bill. Mr. PEgYs replied, that his answer was, lhe made no contract with lr. Fellowes, but with Lorti Gwydyr, ana that nobleman was no party to the bill. The facts were these :-Mr. Fellowes had sent for Page, the defendant, and informed him that he would put it in his power to make a good bargain in the purchase of the coronation fixtures, which had become the perquisite of lAord Gwydyr, as Chamberlain. They might be had for l,5001., provldvd the hall was to be cleared of them before the 10th of January. Io conse4uence of this recommendation of 3Mr. Fellowes, and the beliefof Alr. Page that the property had net been offered to any other person for sale, he agreed to give a note to Mr. Fellowes in part paymetnt for 5351. After bc hal done so, however, he discovered from Air. Robins, that the property had previously been offered for sale all over the town, and that ino purchaser could be found-that Mr. Fellowes had, in fact, bought it from liord Owydyr, and insteatd of being now selling it as his ILordship's agent, he *vas re-selling it fbr his own profit. Air. Page Immediately sent word to Mr. Fellowes,that he was ready to restore to him the key oft he hall, with all the propertv therein, on condition of his note for 5351. being restored to hin. This was not done: the note was passed into the hands of a stranger, ant iMr. Page, upon being obliged to pay the amount, proceeded to sell the fixtures in the hall, whichl produced 59CL beyond the amount of the note, without rnaking any deduction for Mr. Page's treuble, through wlhose activity even the sum mentioned had been obtained from the sale. The wholc sum, without any deduction, Aiir. Page was now called upon to p;ay into court, not by Lord G*wydyr, who declined having his namze inserted in the bill, but by Mlr. Fellawes. Now, M41r. Page contended he had only dealt with Mlr. Fellowes as thie agent of his Lordship, and was not bound to pay over the amount called for, except bv the direction of Lord Gwydyr. The VicE-CirASCELLOR inquired whether Mr. Page disclaimed the contract; if he did, he must pay the money into court; if he did not. he was liable to a decree for the unpaid balance. The Counsel being unable to give the Vice-Chancellor a satisfac- tory explanation of the terms of the agreement between the parties, his Ho eou,n desired the bill and declaration to Be left for him to VlCE.CHANCEL.r,OR's CorJRT.

n`r. r IND AT. movee tor a rule to Shlow cause why a sum of .001., levied on the defendant's goods, should not be placed out at interest for the advantage of lMIr. Rayer, on whose part the application was made. The defendant was an uncertificated bankrupt and Mr. Rayer, who was a creditorsunder the commigsion, succeeded in out- lawing him, and a writ of venditioni exrponas was issued on the out. lawry. When the writ was about to be executed, it was founld that tlhe sherifl of the county of Devon had, in virtue of a writ of fteri facias, seized property of the bankrupt to theamount of 6001. The outlawry took place in October, and thefieri facies was issued in November. The question which arose out of the proceedings was, whether the Crown, in which the property was vested by the out. lawry, had not a preferable claim to a person who derived his title from posscssion under an authority obtained at a period subsequent to the outlawry.-Rule granted. THE XSING V. -MARSH, STIRACEY, FAUNTLEItOY AND Co. Mr. JISRvIs, jun. moved for a rule to sbow cause why aU mat- ters in difference, connected with an extent in aid for 6861. which had been issued by the Crown against the defendants, should not be referred to the Remembrancer, to determine wbether any and what sums were due to the bankrupts' estate. The extent in aid was issued on the 15th of September last, and its object was to recover the produce,of some taxes which had been deposited in the banking. l.ouse. The object of the motion was merely to sare cost and expense to the bankrupts' es-ate.-'Thc Court granted the rule. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. TTT17,TlAV. NnV-. 25. THE KING V. COOK.

The Pea is journals of Sunday, which we received last night, contain no news of importance. The intellectual fever occasioned bv die late miniisterial charges and doteats, seems to be as violent as ever, and contiAucs to evolve nuch heat into political discussions and party conflicts. The opposition of the journals, and of the Chambers, is set the only opposition which Alini.ters havewo dread. By unceremoniousiy dismis.sing some of their moat poweriul col- leagues, they have converted political into personal enemies, and given public hostility all :he activity aind bitterniessof private ran- cour.

It was announced yesterday in the city, that an Asseciation bas been formcd for working the mines in thie provinces of Rio de la Plata, by which is understood all that territory known under the Sjpanish dominion by the name ofthe Viceroyalty of Buenos Ayres. This Company is established in conformity with a decree passed at Buenos Ayres, autherizing the Alinister of State and for Foreign Affairs to take measures for its formation in this country, who has in consequence transmitted an official communication to Messrs. Iluliett Brothers and Co., through whom all the arrangements will be carried inte effect. Reports have been obtained by the Govern- ment of Buenos Ayres, from the Governors of the provinces in wlich the mines are situated, containing various information on the sub- ject, of someof whichreports opies havebeen forwarded to England to lAfessrs. Hullett Brothers and Co., and otbers are expected. It is stated in the prospectus of this undertaking, that mines of gold, silver, and otler metals abound in aU the provinces, and that those situated in what are called the Lower Prorinces, such as Dlendoza, San Juan, San Luis, Cordova Tucuman, &c., are nearly in a virgin state, having been workea only at intervals, and on a small scale, by men of little capital. These latter mines are also in most instances placed in a fertile country, with abandant re- sources of all kinds likely to be wanted, and admitting ar easy cominunication with Buenos Ayres. The greater part of these mines having no legal proprietors, may be entered upon in full possession immediately; in others, where a legal possession exists on the part of an Individual, an arrangetnent will take place between theni and the conductors of this undertaking. The slave-trade lhaving been abolished, as also compulsory labour in all the provinces of Buenos Ayres, these mines will be worked entirely by hired or voluntary labour, and will consequently tend to iinprove the condition of the people generally inhabiting the districts in wvhich the mines are si- tuated. By a law passed at Buenos Ayres in Novemiber, 1822, the exportation duty on gold and silver is fixed at one per cent. The objects of the Associatioa embracc every purpose connected witlh working mnines,and the purchase andreduction of ores, rminerals, and metals, without limitation to any particular province or territory. It is proposed to despatch agents and miners immediately, to commence perations at some of the principial mines, and to examine such other mines as it may be deemed expedient to work. 2yIYNG ASSOCIAlIO PFOR TIL PRO ViJCES OP RIO DB LA PLATA. . ^
