On Charles King becoming a partner, his father, Rufus King, advanced $22,000, whioh Mr. Gracie supposed to be intended by tue way of capital for Charles ; but the amount was charged by Ru as due to him b: fus Ring & Sons. During the they were extensively in to Europe (principally to the British army oa the Spanish peninsula) in Ameri- can vessels, owned by them, sailing under British licences; Dut several of them were taken by Britwsh cruizers, and the house experienced’a severe loss. Of those captured, were theships Eliza Gracie and Oronoko, on their return from Lisbon, in 1812, having carried out cargoes for the Supply of the allied army, valued, with their return car goes, at £16,000 ; ship Piscataqua, furnished with a British license, but captured notwithstanding, and ordered to the Weat Indies, but re-captured by an American privateer, ordered to Baltimore, and stranded in the Chesapeake, val- ved at £7,000 ; ship Pallas, also with‘a British license, den with flour, captured and sent into Gibraltar, where, etence of being an arm p, she, with her car condemned and sold for £13,000, They also lost by vessels seized by the Freuch government. In 1818 Mr. Archibald Gracie went to Eagiand, with a view of obtain: ing indemnity for these aad other losses. During his ab- sence, the junior partners, (Charles King and William Gracie) acting as his attornies, mad: over to Rufus Kis for an alleged debt of $107,000, (of which the $22,000 ad: ced to Charles formed a part) all the real estate of A. Gracie, consisting of houses in which they ives lived, « valuable estate at Hell Gate, properiy in Pine street, &o., at which Mr. Gracie expresse¢ much dissatisfaction on his return, but ratified the assignment as his sons had madeit. [0 1$24the firm had pucome run so hard for money that tae senior, Mr. Gracie, had to borrow $30 from his brother-in-law, the defendant, to pay his baker’s bill, being threatened that he could not be supplied unless he paid up. On the 27th April, 1524, the house failed, as- signing their property to Charles Wilkes, Jona, Gvodhue, and James G. King. ‘Immediately afterwards, Rufus King sold the real estate, which had been made over to him—it brought $87,400, besides which there was property assert- ed to have been sold but not placod on the list. Abou the same time Mr. Arch’d Gracia pledged to his creditor all the ms he held against the French, British and other go- vernments, for spoliations, in security for the debts of the house, it being understood that the junior members of the firm should be released. Just previous to thefailure, the house of N. Rogers and Sem, supposing Mr. Archibald Gracie still te be ewner of the real estate which Charles King and William Gracie had made over to Rufus King, endorsed a note to the Bank of New York, on behalf of Arch'd Gracie and Sous, for $26,000, and had also endors- ed for them at other banks to the amount of $16,000, the whole of which Roger nd Sons had to pay. ‘These notes would not have beem endorsed by the latter, as they testify, had they supposed the real estate had passed from the firm. On remonstrating with Mr. Arch’d Gracie in regard to it, he stated his regret that such disposition had been made of his and particularly as to the charge of $22,000, at the same time remarking that if any persons ought to have been paid, it should have been Rogers and Sons. In a conversation with one of the junior Mr. Rogers’, Mr. Gracie told him it was hard, but all should go right, “that he hed already taken care of his father” T wemed to be ambiguous, but did not pay the notes, the whole amount of which ($42,000) was paid by Mr. Nehemiah Rogers in cash, within a year. In 1927, Mr. Rufus King died, leav- ing property, that portion which would probably have fallen to Mr.'Charles King under ordinary circumstances, being devised to the children of the latter instead. In 1829 Mr Archibald Gracie died, when it was ascertained that he had made his will in 1817 (twelve years before) and appointed Rufus King, Arch’d Gracie, and Nehemiah Rogers, his executors, and Esther Rogers Gracie (his ) executrix to his estate. According to the law at time, executors were authorised to pay themselves in full fer any demand they might have against an estate, even to the qxclusion of other creditors ; so that the $4: 000 paid by Mr. Rogers on the notes he had endorsed, w. interest, was good against any monies that might come in- to his hands. in 1819, Alex. Hosack had obtained a judg- ment against Arch’d Gracie & Sons, which still remained unsatisfied. Whatever faults may have been ascribed to Old Hickory, we believe pushing our elaims against France, Naples, &. to a successful issue, was not demurr- ed to, even by his very particular Wall street friends, and over $100,000 was awarded to Arch’d Gracie & Sons, by the commissioners under that indemnity. In 1836 (Mr. Nehemiah Rogers, the defendant, being the enly surviv- ing executor,) a petition was presented to the Vice Chan- cellor bythe complainants, on behalf of the Hosack es- tate, and other creditors, soliciting an order to prevent this money being paid into the hands of Mr. Rogers, but that itshould at once be divided among the creditors. The reasons set forth were that Mr. Rogers had become ver aged, and was unfit to take care of it; and, moreover, it was believed he had been embarrassed, &c. The Vice Chancellor issued an order directing that the money should be paid into Court. Mr. Rogers ap from the decision. ‘He acknewledged to being aged, but not inca- pable—that, although born in 1765, and then 77 years of sge, for the last 3@ years he had not experienced fle lay’ssiekness, nor been prevented from leaving his jouse to attend to his business—that as to responsibility he was worth $200,000 in realestate, clear and unembarrass ed, besides personal property, ‘and independent of his pre- sent claim—that he had always paid his debts, and had a right to thecare and feos of the money, &c. The case was carried before the Chancellor, thence tothe Court of Errors, and it was decided, on the merits of the case being shown, that he was entitled to the care of the money as executor, and it was placed again in his hands. The matter then came back to the Vice Chancellor's Court, and the claim of $42,000 made, with interest, and various expenses, amounting to about $70,000. This’ was also appealed from, and the cause again presented to the Chanceller and continued to the Ceurt of Errors. Judges Nelson and Cowan were in their places as members of fhe Court and expressed an opinion adverse to the claim of Mr. Rogers—still the majority of the Court went in his favor, awarding him the amount of his claim. It now cames back to this Court on the question of costs. Rogers claims about $3000 as counsel fees paid to W. Gerard, and others, in prosecuting the case. The Vice Chancellor, in giving his opinion, stated that Mr. Rogers had been very fortunate in obtaining the full amount of his claim—he had done so through technical matters, and not by the force of equity—and could well attord to pay his own counsel fees. As to the complainants, they be commenced in behalf of all the creditors, but’ changed their position by claiming the whole $19,000 duefto them; Archibald Graci Mr. they could net,therefore, have costs against the defen- dant. Ordered,that Mr. Rogers pay the balanee into Court within 30 days after the taxed costs have been paid, that the clerk settle with the other two creditors pro rata. Bankrupt List. OF NEW YORK.

Great excitement in Ohio, and Great Meetings of the People to consider the alarming state of affaire— Gov. Corwin, §c. The excitement among the people of Ohio, in con- sequence of the resignation of the whig members of the legislature, thereby nullifying the legislative de- partmentjof the State Government, is tremendous.— Meetings of the peeple have been held, and are now being holden, in every part of the State, to give ut- teranee to the feelings engendered by an act so ex- traordinary ; we have sufficient proof already that the tes political contest will be con- ducted with an animosity, vigor and strife seldom equalled in this country. ‘ On the evening of the 15th instant, meetings of both parties were called, to assemble at the Court House in our city, and it was feared that a collision between them ht arise; but bappily an arrange- ment was ente; into by which the speakers on both sides were tobe heard, and no marks of dis- approbation to be exhibited, although the applause was allowed to be as long and as jificant as the respective partisans might desire. e demecratic oraters who addressed the immense assemblage of people, met together to consider a new and unheard of attempt to annihilate legislative power, were the Hon. B. B. Taylor, the senator from this district, and Col. MeNulty, a distinguished representative from the count of Knox; and the whig orators were, the Hon. William Stanbery, formerly a mem- ber of Congress, the Hon. Simeon Nash, senator from Gallia, and Mr. Convers, a member of the House. Meesrs. Stanbery, Taylor, and MeNulty made very able apeeches; Mr. Ni 60, 80, One; and Mr. Convers about the poorest that one can conceive, On the evening of the 16th, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Me- Nulty, and Col. Parker, addressed a meeting exclu- sively democratic; and last evening, the 17th, the Hon. Thomas Ewing, late Secretary of the Tren- sury, and Henry Stanley, Esq., a distinguished member of the bar, addressed an exclusive whig meeting. Mesers. Ewing and Stanbery occupie themselves almost exclusively with attacks on Mr. Taylor, and replying to Mr. T.’s speech on the 16th, and. that gentleman, after the adjournment of the whig meeting, replied to their remarks. . I neglected to mention, in my last letter, that his Excellency, Governor Corwin, delivered, on the inst , a literary address before the Calliopean Society of Granville College, and rwards a poli- speech to the citizens of Granville, a vil six miles fromhere.
