COMMOisIPLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)

LACEI V. WALDRON.
In this case Mr. ivIAuLE, v.ith whom vas Mr. fitcnAnn3,
l ad on a former day 6,btained a rule to sh3w cause why the
verdict should not be srt aside or a nonsuit entered, ou the
grounds that the terms of the testator's will had not been com-
plied with.

Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD and Mr. Ixikatv were heard yes-
terday against the rule. It was an action brought by an un-
dertaker against the defendant, a gentlemal of fortune resi-
ding in the neighbourhood of Oxford, to recover the sum of
69/., being the expenses incurred in furnishing the funeral of
the (le:entiaat's mother, who was a relative of Sir Bethel
Coddrington. The defendant had paid into Court 531. The
case was trircl at the Summer As6izei at Oxford in 1835, be-
fore Mr. Baron Parke, when tlie Jury found a verdict for the
plaintiff in the full amount.

Mr. MAULS v..as now heard at length in tupport of his
rule, and

The COURT decided that the rule should be discharged.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Justice Cot.Entnos took his seat on the Bench at ten
o'clock, when Admiral Richardson took the oaths required by
on his promotion to the rank of Rear Admiral of the
Blue.

Several motions were disposed of, but none of them con-
tained anything of public interest.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court was occupied (luring the whole morning with
mere technical business, in which there arose no point of pub-
lic interest.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Great fears were enter tained by the commercial com-
munity and monied interest that yesterday would have been
a day for numerous failures among the American merchants,
as well as at Liverpool and Manchester. 'We are happy,
however, to state that our City croakers have been disap-
pointed, and that only one failure, scarce worth mention-
ing, occurred during the whole of yesterday. Still we must
observe that the extent of the mischief accruing from the
recent failures of the great American houses cannot be
exactly ascertained from the various parts of the country
until Thursday or Friday next. The general expectation
is, that it will not extend to the degree that 'was at first an-
ticipated—more particularly if we may judge from the ac-
counts published by the three great American houses of
the state of their affairs, by which it is proved that each of
them, after paying their creditors in full, will have great
balances in their favour.

This morning we arc again very tranquil in the city, and
,he funds are buoyant.

of Simms since our One o'clock
rst

About half-past two o'clock yesterday morning, a
fire was discovered in the upper part of the dwelling-house of
Mrs. Conceur, 95, City-road. One of the Whitecross-street
et..i,ines quickly arrived, and the firemen, with the assistance
of the police and inmates, succeeding inputting out the flames.
The damage to the building is but slight, but property to some
cons:derable amount has been consumed.

Mr. Kean, who is at present fulfilling a most suc-
cessful engagement in Dublin, had the honour of dining with
their Excellencies, the Earl and Countess of Mu!grave, at
the Vice-Royal Lodge, Phoenix Park, on Friday last.
