THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
With the exception of the Lisbon mail we have no
arrivals of the least importance.
THE FUND.
The public are now waiting for un official account of the
new Ministry, which at present greatly excites their atten-
tion ; In the mean time we shall be inundated with various
reports on the subject. Although there is no went of
talent to form the C.ibinet, still it may take sonic time to
make choice of those who will act in unison and fur the
welfare of the State, and during which period we cannot
expect any stabillity in the Funds, which at present are
continually fluctuating, Consols which left off yesterday
at Sl3k for the Account, opened at 848, soon after fell
to SO ;at present they are S2l and fur the next Ac-
count 1321
An Express has arrived front Paris at a late hour;
the contents have not as yet transpired. In the Foreign
Market little or nothing doing.
Ltvertroot,, Nov. 15.—The Altiscovado Sugar market
has continued dull all the week ; the purchases are esti-
mated at 2,000 !ids. and tierces ; in several instances a
reduction of (id. to la, his been subtn;tted to. The Rum
market is dull, but the holders do not force Niles, sr they
expect a renewal of the denatnd. There is rather more
inclination to do business in Cotton, but the purchases are
still inconsiderable.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
We have received by express from Paris the Quotiiii-
cane of Monday.
Bausset.s, Nov. le.—There is still great movements
in the Diplomacy. French, English, and Dutch couriers,
as well as Belgians, are in movement in all directions, be-
sides which agents of the Provisional Government ate
sent on missions to the different Cabinets. M. Barthols has
set off for Paris, where he is to have a meeting with the
new Ministry for Foreign Affairs ; the Congress yesterday
had their second sitting, relating chiefly to the verifica-
tion to the Powers and formation of the Bureau. We have
this moment learned that the Prince of Hesse llomboutg,
Governor of the fortress of Luxembourg, was near being
assassinated near Arlon by the Belgian militia, where he
was taking a tour on horseback. Two of the militia have
been arrested and conducted into the furtrese.
FILA NKFORT, Nov. 10,--An order of the Prussian Ca-
binet, thud November 1, has been published, according to
which all the troops which are assembled on the frontiers
of the Pays ikes, front Brusoen to Cleves and Kranenberg,
are to be formed into a cordon.
The Revolution still continues in North Holland, at the
village of Monk, near the Prussian I colliers. Commis-
saries from the Provisional Government have arrived to
take possession of that vilkge, which 1)48 caused much
anxiety.

TM; accounts from htdrid are of the 4th of November,
by which it appears that the Spanish Minist,rs and their
him', are higl ly satisfied w,th the measures adopted by
the French Authorities against the Spmist' refugees. They
speak of a treaty being concluded with Portugal, and that
Don Miguel is to furai+l► to Ferdina►nl three regiments,
too of Infantry and one of Cavalry, to be sent into Spain.
Consols continue at sek 83, and SS if fur money.
They are better fur money than for the account ; there
is still a great scarcity of money stock.
The express from Paris brings the French Three per
Cents. much higher, b ing an improvement of two per
cent., 64f 80c. ; this is owing to the new /Ministry de-
claring that they are determined to maintain a general
peace in Europe.
It appears by 'meows from Brussels, that there are
great movements in all the diplomatic corps, and the King
of Prussia has given orders to susentble all the troops +ta-
tioned on the frontiers of Belgium to form a cordon, which
is supposed to prevent any irruption of the Belgians into
the Prussian States.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

present were Lord WYNEoun, the Earl of ItAnNo&, Lai
the 131•11111) of Rocursrett.

Juncmr.Ntr.—Titr. SIARQVIi ILIUTIT V. courian,

The respondent* hi this case wets the nearest of kin of
the late Rev. James Cooper, the sun of Professor Coupe'
of Glasgow, who in the yeti. 1809, entered into the
fonily of the late Marquis of Bute, for the purpose of
superintending the studies of the Marquis's grandson
Lord James Stuart. At this period no precise arrange-
ment was made as to his remuneration, but ou the Vld m.l
June, 1809, the late Marquis wrote to Mr. J. Couper, in
closing a sum for past services, and requesting him to be.
come his son's tutor. That letter was to the followim
effect :—" Mr. Moore has, I hope, acquainted you witl
my directions to present you with fifty gaineam for th.
trouble of your attendance on my grandson, and to mak
good over and ub we any expenses incidental to yin
coming from or returning to Glasgow, or which ma:
have otherwise occurred Accept at the same time
my hearty thanks for the unremitting care you hay.
employed in fulfilling the object of your charge.—
Situated as I happen to be, without entering int
further re ition:ng, I must observe to you the impossibilit
of holding cut other prospects of wisistarwe than what ar•
personal to myself. Should a vac iney take place, fur ex•
ample, in the kirk of 'Malmsey, and I am competent to
the presentation, I pledge my word to bestow it in you,
favour. In the interim, did it suit your views and
convenience to live in my house, I shall gladly
receive you, offering you, in such a case, a smiler)
of 1001., and to add 101. more to defray the
cost of washing; such arrangement to date from the
moment of your joining me—say the beginning of No-
vember next, after your examination. Your journey to
be paid for by me, likewise those you may be called upon
to make for the mine purpose. This safety of 1001. 1
propose continuing until you get the living of Raimenty
or are able to obt tin a better provision." This propmal
was not accepted by Mr. Coulter, who wrote a letter
to the Marquis, declining the kirk of Rothesay.
The Marquis, who seemed, however, still ainilitl•
to secure the services of Mr. Couper, wrote *Rah.
to that gentleman, who still remained inflexible.
The Marquis was determined if possible to ob.
twin his valuable services, and on the Bth of November
wrote to his father the Professor, stating his (the Mar-
quis's) readiness, should his son incline, to attach himself to
his house, to give hint a settled permanency, by executing
a bond of annuity in his favour of 1004, payable out of his
landed estate. This proposal was accepted, and Mr. Conpet
went abroad with the Martini., and his family. After his re.
turn be qualified himself for the English church, and was in!
stitute I to a living in Glamorganahire, where he employed
a curate, being himself ignorant of the Welsh language.
Up to November, 181 e, Mr. Couper ha I regularly drawn
his annuity front Coutts and Cu. About this time i.e be•
gan to exhibit symptoms of insanity, erased his name
from the books of Bettet College, Camb:idge, left that
place, and proceeded to Cardiff, runt thence to Sidtatouth,
where Lord and Lady Bute were, where he behaved in
the most unaccountable way, slating to Lord Bute that
it was his intention to give up his living, and insisted in a
letter upon his Lordship taking back the bowl of annuity.
Shortly after thin transaction Lord Rule died. In 1816
Mr. Cooper was insane, Professor Cooper was appointel
administrator for his son, and in that capacity applied to
the agents of the present Marquis of Bute, and to the
Noble Marquis himself, with reference to the bond of an-
nuity, when he was informed that it war not known where the
bond was, that it might perhaps have been destroyed by
the late Marquis, and that it teas necessary to have re-
course to legal proceedings, in order to vindicate the rights
of his unfortunate son. In 1817 an action was instituted
for that purpose, and the Jury returned a verdict in favour
of Mr. Couper, declaring hint to have been unsound at
the time of the transmission of the bond, and incapable of
managing his own affairs.—and further, that the oblige-
tion contained in the bowl was not extinguished. The
case was afterwards transmitted to the Court of Session,
who found the Marquis of Bute liable to pay the sum of
9001. fur nine years' annuity. Front this derision the
present appeal was lodged.
The House gave judgment this morning, confirming
the decision of the Court of Session, with UM costs.
In delivering judgment Lonl Wynford acquitted the pre-
sent Marquie of Bute of any wish to defraud the Rev.
Mr. J. Coulter of his just rights, believing the Noble
Marquis to have been actuated iu his resistance of the pre.
sent proceeding by a firm conviction that the surrender
the bond 17 the Rev. Mr. J. Couper was a discharge an
release of it to the grantor.

ROLLS' COURT.
DEARTH OF BUSINEhIi.

His Honour the Marraa of the Rous, in taking his
seat this morning, infot med the Bar, that after he had
disposed of all the eases in to-day's paper there would only
remain six causes for bearing ; theiefure, unless some new
plan could he adopted, the Court would have no business
to proceed with. His Honour had been turning the sub.
ject over in his own mind, and thought the best course to
adopt would be to advance the further directions.
Mr.lllmcgasTtru was afraid the arrangement might be
attended with considerable ineouvenienve, as it would come
with surprise on solicitors as well as Counsel, neither of
whom would be prepared. Counsel hail been unable to do
justice to their clients in many causes which had been
heard before the Court, in consequence of the great num-
ber of cases that had been adjourned, by which means
patties, whose causes were very low in the paper, had been
called upon to have their Counsel ready long before the
time the cause in its due course would have been heard.
The itlAsrett of the ROLLA COIN not see that Counsel
were su,.ject to any blame for the manner in which they
had conducted causes. He thought all difficulty might be
got over by informing the solicitors concerned in the fur-
ther dirfict ons, that it was the intention of the Court to
proceed with them after it had got through the present
cause p•fper.

litexKuvrivrit—lt was not known who the soli-
citors were; the Registrars knew nothing of them till the
matter came on for !tracing.
The Illasrra of the Itot.t.s then ordered a notice of his
intention to take further directims after the disposal of his
present list of causes, to be placed in a conspicuous p.m of
the Court.

COURT OF KING'S BENCII.
The Court this morning took the peremptory paper;
nothing of intereot occurred.

The anticiptited resignation of the .Wellington

eamintiniceted his resignation to, the Hottseof Lords
last night, which he said his Majesty habeen gra-
ciously pleased-to accept and.added, that he now
held office merely till his successor 'ehoteld be ap-
pointed., A similar communication woe made by
Siranbert Peel to the House of Commottc. If his
Grace possess any feeling, the circumstances tinder
which iris resignation has becoMe necessary must he
to him a subject on which he cannot relleet-wit hout
pain, and we are not, therefore, disposed to dwell at
this time on the signal blunders, to say nothing worse
of them,.by which he has succeeded, in a few weeks,
in erasing from the memory of the people of Eng-
land the gratitude they entertained towards him for
secamplishing the great tusk of the pacifieution of
behold, his concession to the Dissenters, and the
blow which be struck at monopoly end Maisisterisl

most of whose life had been passed in the tented
field, lord to struggle itt assuming the direction of
the affairs of this great emptily; and expecting
from him more signal failures than ha actually com-
mitted, his conduct was for some time en -agreeable
disappointment to us. We were first disgusted
with his Ministry when we found trim embarked
with Sir James Searlett in no irritating crusade
against the Press. Indeed, from' that time a sort
of fatality seems to have attended his Ministry. The
whole of lust Session was intssetl in undoing one day
what had been done the day before; Snit it wris
universally admitted at its close, that-106°ot im-
portant changes in the composition of the Ministry,
it would be impossible to caul on the business of
the country. With a strange insensibility to the
sense of the country, so unequivocally matked, he
appeared before a new Pa.liatneto with the. same
imbecile crew (imbecile as regards the, great majo-
rity, for we do not wish to eompeebeiol Sir Robert
'Peel and one or two others ut most its the cen-
sure); anti as if contempt were not enough, utiusind
pains would seem to have been taken to excite
apprehension and distrust b? the %yarding of the
speech put into his Majesty a mouth rut the opening
of the Parriament, and the indignation of the whole
people by the offensive terms of the. Dukc's‘deelt,-
ration against Referm. That inihgestioo was fmft
relieved by the 'sense of humiliation, which tire
famous advice to the King, to refuse to fulfil his
promise to accept of the entertainment provided for
his Majesty in the city, on the allegation of danger,
—humiliation, that the cowry should be so lowered
as it was by an exhibition, which exhibited so con-
spicuously to all Europe, that the Councils of Eng.
land were guided by men who could be itifiuenceil

" From Mulberouttles eyes the streams of dotrige flow."
After the communication to Parliament by Mi-
nisters of their resignation, all business of lin/mit-
/ince was, as a matter of course, postponed. Mr.
Brougham, when he consented to put oft' his motion
for Reform, " begged to have it most positisely arid
distinctly understood that it was contrary to his own
feelings. But as the change of Administration was
a matter which could not possibly affect him, he took
the opportunity to state that he consented to defer
his motion to the 25. th of this month, and nslonger—
(Hear, hear)--that he should- bring forward the
queation then, whoever Might- be his .Meiesty's
