KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

The COURT was occupied this morning in hearing Counsel
on a new trial motion, in an action of ejectment. It did
not possess any point of public importance.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have received Charleston papers to the 11th of De-
cember. They only mention that sales of damaged goods
were daily taking place at Heywest from the wrecks of the
ships Ajax and America, both vessels having bilged with a
large quantity of merchandize on board ; also that no re-
cent intelligence had been received from the expedition
against the Indians under Lieut. Powell.
We have Madras papers to the 18th of September.
By the last accounts from Penang and Singapore, we learn
that Capt. Strud, of his Majesty's ship Andromache, has
been very successful in his operations against the pirates.
We learn from Calcutta that Lord Auckland had for-
warded 1,000 rupees to the Captain of the Windsor, to be
distributed among the jlnior officers for replacing their kits.
The Calcutta Courier of the Ist Sept. says, " We learn
that the Jeypoor trial terminated on Saturday the 10th
July, when the following verdict was returned :—That the
whole of the charges preferred against the prisoners as set
forth against each of them, individually, in the several in-
dictments, are fully proved, 'and the Court, do accordingly
pronounce the prisoners guilty, and sentence them to suffer
death as the penalty of their crime."

Our only arrival this morning is the French mail. The
Ostend, Holland, and Hamburg mails are due. We have
ship letters from New York, and from Madras, Sept. 17.
We have received Quebec papers to Dec. 13. The
Toronto papers of the 3d contain the conclusion of the
debate on the Address for annexing Montreal to Upper
Canada. Mr. Hay's resolution to that effect was carried
by 85 to 9. The House was engaged, on the 3d, on a
motion by Mr. Draper, for disposing of the Clergy Reserves.
The general impression seemed to be, that they would be
sold, and the proceeds divided among the principal religious
denominations, in proportion to their number.

Letters have been received from Bilboa this morning of
the sth inst. Up to that period, 30 cannon had been
brought into that town, part taken and part found buried
in the snow. Espartero was making every preparation to
commence hostilities, which was expected would take place
efter his interview with General Evans, who was to have
left St. Sebastian on the 10th inst. to arrange with him the
plan of operations.
Consols, which were very buoyant in the early part of
the morning, and reached at one period 911 for the Ac-
count, are not so good at present ; the market has taken
rather a heavy turn, and Consols have receded to 91i for
the Account. This decline is not attributed to any unfa-
vourable news being received, but parties realizing their
profits. Money appears plentiful, both for commerce and
speculation.
Consols may be quoted at 91 for the Account ; 911 for
Money. Exchequer Bills improved, 24 23 26 prem. ; India
Bonds also, 17 20 prem. ; Bank Stock, 2101 ; India Stock,

Accounts from Malaga, Jan. 4, state that it blew very
heavy gales from the eastward on the 2d inst. A Liverpool
large vessel has been lost behind the Rock of Gibraltar,
and small ones in this harbour. His Majesty's ships Tyne,
Jasseur, and Orestes, have suffered considerably.
In the Spanish Papers of the 9th inst. appears a very
long detailed account received by the Minister of Marine
from the Commandant of the province of Bilboa (four
columns) relative to the siege and relief of Bilboa.

SHOPLIFTER IN HIGH LIFE..—A French lady
who resides in William.strcet, and is supposed to be worth
50,000 dollars, was lately detected in stealing a cap
from a store, after having previously stolen another cap
from another store. One of the police officers went to
her residence and found a room, the floor of which was
covered with a most incongruous assortment of items—dead
fowls, ladies' shawls, gentlmen's caps, cakes of soap, Caro-
lina potatoes, pieces of muslin, and an almost endless
variety of small matters of one sort or the other, which,
as she could have had little or no use for, it is supposed
they have been all or the greater part of them stolen. She
was held to bail,—New York Paper.

The Gazette of Tuesday night publishes the decree
of the Portuguese Government, for the abolition of the
African slave trade. By the third article of the decree,
any planter, whether native or foreigner, who removes from
one part of the Portuguese dominions in Africa to another,
is exempted from the operation of the articles against the
exportation and importation of slaves.
Mr. F. G. French, a respectable coachmaker, died
at Colchester oh Friday last, under very distressing circum-
stances. He was on Tuesday confined to his bed with an
attack of influenza, and rose to take a draught which had
been sent him by his medical attendant. He, however,
drank some hartshorn by mistake, and was almost choked.
The usual remedies were used by two medical gentlemen
without delay, and they left him under no apprehension of
danger, as he stated he had swallowed only half a table-
spoonful. Unfavourable symptoms, however, again and
again presented themselves, and lie expired on Friday in
spite of all that could be done for him.
