THE FUNDS.

The agitation among the monied interest has totally sub-
sided, and we do not hear of any further failures ; conse-
quently the Funds are very buoyant this morning, and
there is every prospect of a further increase.
Consols may be quoted at 901 for the Account ; Money
the same. Exchequer Bills, 21 19 22 prem. ; India Bonds,
11 15 prem. ; Bank Stock, 2104.

There is also an improvement in the Foreign Market,
Spanish Active, 27 ; Passive, 7,4- 3 ; Deferred, 121 ; Por-
tuguese, 50 ; Three per Cents., 32 ; Columbian, 261 ;
Mxican, 253,- ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half, 54:1.
We hear that the Bank has paid off to the East India
Company two millions : no doubt this is the cause of the
rise in the Funds.

" This is a smart well-written work, one of which no man need
blush to avow the authorship. Indeed, we can scarcely suppose it
to be a first attempt, for the author has arranged his materials with
all the skill of a veteran novelist. His characters are powerfully,
and at the same time naturally drawn."—Sunlay Times.

JUDGMENT.

The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Sergeant Adams) said—This is
an appeal by the parish of St. George, Hanover Square,
against the county-rate made on the ?7th October ; and it
is a case of that importance that we ought to give to the
county at large, and to the parish of St. George in particular,
the reasons for our decision. In my opinion the case has
been very ably and very properly argued, and the subject-
matter of appeal has been unmixed with any extraneous
matter ; so that we sitting here, as a Court of Judicature,
are now called upon to give our judgment , upon this case,
upon its merits. The subject ofthis appeal appears to me
to divide itself into three branches :

First—That the rate must be made upon the audit of the
accounts at the first day of the Session, and that if three-
fourths of the old rate collected have not then been expen-
ded, the order for making a new rate must contain the re-
strictive clause, which cannot be taken off until the next
intermediate session.

Second—Supposing the first objection to fail, it is then
contended that, upon the face of the accounts at the county
day three-fourths are not expended, then the restrictive
clause must be inserted in the order for the new rate.
Third objection is quite distinct from the others, that the
accounts have not been duly audited, certain sums have
been improperly allowed in these acceotuns ; therefore we
have no power to make a new rate.
I shall advert to each of these objections in their turn :
First, That the rate must be founded on the audit at the

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

THE KING V. COPE.

This was an indictment against the defendant, who is
the governor of the gaol of Newgate, for refusing to re-
ceive certain prisoners committed by the Magistrates of
the county of Middlesex. It appeared that in the month
of July, 1826, an order was made by the Lord Mayor and
Aldermen of London, at the General Sessions, excluding
from the gaol of Newgate all prisoners except those con•
victed of, or charged with, the commission of felonies ; and,
acting upon this order, Mr. Cope refused to receive pri-
soners charged with misdemeanors within the jurisdiction of
the county of Middlesex. The present case was instituted
on behalf of the Middlesex Magistrates for the purpose of
ascertaining their rights, and there being no question
upon the facts a verdict was found against the defendant,
and the consideration of its legal effects reserved for this
Court.

Mr. ERLE now appeared in support of the verdict ; con-
tending that the order of the Mayor and Aldermen of
London could not prejudice the right of the Middlesex
Magistrates to interfere in the concerns and management of
the jail of Newgate. The question, he said, would in a
great measure depend upon the opinion of the Court whe-
ther or not the gaol of Newgate could be considered within
the limits of the county of Middlesex, and upon this point
he relied on the Gaol Act, the 48th Geo. 3d, which gave to
Magistrates of a county jurisdiction in a gaol which, though
built without the ambit of their particular district,' was yet
used for its purposes, as if it were situated entirely within
it. The Learned Gentleman also referred to the Act for
the establishment of the Central Criminal Court, as estab-
lishing the right of the Middlesex Magistrates to deal with
the gaol of Newgate as if it were situated within the county.
The COURT, after hearing the ATTORNEY-GENERAL on
behalf of the defendant, said they would take time to con-
sider their judgment.

NEW YORK, DEC. 23.

SPECIE.—We notice a considerable arrival at New Or-
leans from Mexico. For some time past the receipts from
that quarter had been suspended, owing to the troubles
of the country. There is no export. The price of bills
has now fallen so much that there can be none to Europe
for some months to come. Our cotton crop is now going
forward, and by some it is believed it will amount to near
100,000,000 dollars. If this should be correct, England
particularly must continue to be in debt to us. We are
often struck with statements of the balance of trade. We
copy the following, which is from the Secretary of the
Treasury's report .

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

An order having been made in the course of the day for
turning a defendant over to the Fleet, for not paying a sum
of money directed by the Court, the prisoner, shortly
before the Court rose, said he understood an order had
been made committing him to the Fleet.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR had certainly made an order to
that effect.

The prisoner said he had already lain fifteen mouths in
a county gaol for a perjured debt, and requested his Honour
would inform him if he could not obtain some relief under
Sir E. Sugden's Act.

His HONOUR recommended the prisoner to mention his
case to some gentlemen at the bar, who would advise him
how he had better proceed. The prisoner bowed and
withdrew.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 19.

Mr. Justice Littledale and Mr. Justice Coleridge were
again prevented by illness from taking their seats upon the
Bench.

MINSTER V. MOWER.

This was an action for the infringement of the plain-
tiff's patent in the manufacture of a reclining chair. The
plaintiff claimed a patent for a self-adjusting lever, as
applied to the back and seat of a chair, in whatever
form the same may be. The cause was tried at Guildford,
when the verdict had been given for the plaintiff, and a
rule had since been obtained to set it aside, and have a
new trial. The Attorney-General showed cause against
the rule. The Court took time to consider the question.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, 00T. 5.
Israel Alexander, the horse dealer, was opposed by Mr.
NicHoLs, on the part of Messrs. Abrahams, and supported
by Mr. COOKE, with whom was Mr. WOODROFFE.
The case excited much interest. The insolvent had
been discharged under the Act in 1817. He took the
benefit of the Lords' Act in 1805, he was a bankrupt in
1809, and obtained his certificate. In 1821 he was again
a bankrupt, and certificated, and in 1824 whe❑ the com-
mission was superseded ; he was again declared a bankrupt
in December last, and the fiat was in prosecution ; he had
passed his last examination, and the certificate was in the
course of being signed ; he had contracted since his bank-
ruptcy a debt of 301., with the exception of the debt due to
Messrs. Abrahams, who were his detaining creditors ; he
had brought an action against them for 5001. and upwards
for money advanced, and they had since the bankruptcy
obtained judgment against him as in case of a nonsuit. On
their behalf it was sought to establish that the insolvent
had no locus standi within five years, being an uncertifieated
bankrupt.

The COURT held that he had brought himself within the
exceptions of the Act of Parliament, and had a right to be
heard.

It further appeared that the insolvent had been dischargei
under a temporary Act in 1814, which he had not men•
tioned in his petition.

Mr. NicHoLs urged that the petition should be dismissed,
on the ground that the insolvent had in effect been out of
custody, and that he had omitted one of his insolvencies.
The COURT entertained a different opinion, and there
being no less than 27 witnesses to be examined, the further
investigation of the case was adjourned.

GUILDHALL.

James Williams, the driver of a butcher's dog-cart, at-
tended before Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER yesterday, to
answer the complaint of Mrs. Harwood, of Warwick-lane,
for suffering a ferocious dog to be at large unmuzzled.
Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER directed the defendant to
pay 55., to avoid further proceedings against him, and said
the constable of the market ought to seize and lodge in
the green-yard any dogs that were left unmuzzled.
The defendant paid the amount, and was discharged.

We understand this pretty little theatre will be re-opened
soon, with an excellent company, and under circumstances
more promising of success than those which have heretofore
existed. The lease has been taken by Miss Desborough,
who is so advantageously known by her spirited manage-
ment of the Richmond Theatre during the season which is
now closing. Miss Desborough, both as manager and actress,
we anticipate, will soon become a decided favourite with a
London audience,

ST. JAMES'S.

An operatic burletta, called The Cornet, was brought
out on Wednesday night. The music is light and pretty,
though without any peculiar feature, and the plots turns on
the eircumstance of a Polish lady and her waiting-maid dis-
guising themselves as Cornets, and following to his regi-
ment the husband of the former, an officer in the Russian
service, The interest of the piece is decidedly not intense,
the mental exercise required to produce the plot could not
have been very painful ; indeed, some ill-natured people
might call it a story about nothing. But, however, the
audience (excepting a few critical souls, who would hiss)
seemed amused, and hence we presume the end is answered.
Miss Rainforth and Miss Julia Smith, who performed the
lady and the innkeeper's girl, sung very nicely.

THE GRESHAM LECTURES.
Mr. BAYLIS, after several observations on the subject of
the Gresham lectures, to which the attention of the Court
had been previously drawn, moved four resolutions on the
subject.
After a considerable discussion, in which it was admitted
on all sides that a candidate would not be eligible, except
he was a person qualified by ability as a lecturer upon the
science or art he professed, the resolutions were agreed to.

HAMPSTEAD WATERWORKS.
A discussion took place upon the application from the
proprietors of the Hampstead waterworks for a renewal of
lease for 31 years from Midsummer, 1837, at 801. per an-
num, on a fine of 3001., and a covenant for renewal (present
rent the same). It was suggested that the matter should
be postponed, in order that inquiry should be made into all
the merits of the case, and the Court might act upon the
information they received. It was, however, determined,
upon the proposition of Mr. Godson, the Chairman of the
City Lands Committee, that the lease should be granted
at once, as every encouragement should be given to indivi-
duals to enable the public to resist the enormous power of
the New River Company.

The band of the Port Admiral played in the evening. The
illuminations were truly brilliant. A fire balloon was sent
up soon after dusk, and sailed away to the east—an at-

pyramids were all illuminated ; its carronades fired a Royal
salute, answered by the shipping in the offing—numerous
flights of rockets were sent up from the shore, replied to by
the Fanny and Emerald, and Lord Yarborough's yacht,
the Kestrel, and all was brilliancy and merriment, without
a single accident. Several of the principal establishments
will illuminate to-night and to-morrow night also.

THEATRES

HA YMARKET.

An Operetta, called the Swiss Swains, was brought out
last night chiefly for the purpose of exhibiting Mrs. Way-
lett in a new character. The words are by Mr. Webster,
the music by Mr. Alexander Lee. The following is the
plot :—Jeannette Glib ( Mrs. Tayleure) an old housewife,
objects to the attachment felt by her daughter Rosetta
(Mrs. Waylett) to her nephew Walter (Collins), and ac-
cordingly causes the latter to be sent into the army by her
influence with the burgomaster, and compels Rosetta to ac-
cept for her lover a wine-bibbing swain called Swig ( Web-
ster.) By the way " Swig" and " Glib" are not very Swiss
like names. Os the very day which -is to unite Rosetta
and Swig, while the latter has in his pocket the wedding
portion and the mother's written consent, Walter suddenly
returns. The old lady orders him to be gone, and vows that
he shail not have Rosetta till he can produce fifty pieces of
silver, as well as her own consent in writing, which she re-
gards as an impossibility. Rosetta and 'Walter alleviate their
sorrows by playing all sorts of tricks on poor Swig. First the
lady places a ladder against a tree, which she persuades
Swig to ascend on pretence of giving him a lesson in the
art of serenading, and then suddenly removes the
ladder, leaving him seated on a very high branch
when he is compelled to witness a scene of courtship be-
tween his ladye-love and Walter. The old mother, as a
punishment for this proceeding, locks Rosetta up in a cot-
tage while she goes out, but the ingenious daughter per-
suades Swig to set a ladder against the window, promising
a glass of wine as a reward. When she has descended she
allows him to tap two barrels of wine belonging to her
mother. He bores them with a gimlet, and is compelled to
see another love-scene between Rosetta and Walter, hold-
ing his thumbs all the while to the apertures in the barrels,
lest the liquor should escape. Finally, Walter challenges
Swig, gives him a pistol loaded with powder, and when he
has fired, falls back, pretending to be mortally wounded.
Swig is aghast at the prospect of being hanged for murder,
and Walter promises that he will confess he has committed
suicide, provided Swig will give him the consent and the
marriage portion. Swig complies, and of course Walter
revives, and produces to Jeannette the consent and portion
as required. An officer, whose life Walter has -saved in
battle, gives him his discharge and a splendid farm, the old
lady is delighted with the match, and the bridegroom makes
Swig happy by presenting him with the portion, and pro-
mising wine ad libitum. This is improbable, but it seemed
to tell very well. The music, consisting of light ballads,
was equally successful.

The day was one of the finest we have had this month. The
Farmers, with the aid of the last few fine days had finished the har-
vest, and mustered in great numbers, as did all the rank and fashion
in the Island ; indeed there was a general gathering, of all classes,
from all parts of the Wight, who all seemed highly delighted with
the day's sport, and anxiously looking for as good to-morrow.

WEST KENT.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS, FRIDAY.—This morning Messrs.
TYNDAL and BOSANQUET, the Revising Barristers for the
Western Division of Kent, held a Court of Registration
for this district, at the Sussex Hotel, in the parish of Speld-
burst ; there were but nine objections altogether, and none
of the cases were of interest.

The Conservatives objected to 7 on the list, and sustained
2 ; and the Liberals objected to 2, and sustained 2. Nei-
ther of the parties, therefore, have gained any advantage.

The Revising Barristers, on learning that there were no
less than 103 objections in Tunbridge, arranged that they
would go into as many as they could to-morrow (this day),
and then adjourn the Court until after they concluded their
circuit. It having been calculated that the business would
be light, the Revising Barristers fixed only one day to go
through the lists, and therefore residents in London who
possess qualifications at Tunbridge, and who are objected
to, will be put to the inconvenience of a second journey to
maintain their right of voting ; this, however, is unavoidable,
as the Barristers have fixed Monday to take the Seven Oaks'
lists.

Yesterday and the previous day the Barristers were oc-
cupied in revising the lists at Cranbrook, and the following
is the result :

Conservative objections... 64 Liberal objections 34

'' Why did you quit your last place ?" said a gen-
tleman to his groom, who presented himself for the service
of his cab, the other day ; " did Capt. R. discharge you ?"
" No." " Was he a bad master ?" "On the contrary, a
very good one ; gave good wages, plenty of liveries, and as
much help in the stable as one could want." " Then why
leave his service ?" "To say the truth, Sir, I found it
very disagreeable in winter time at Melton. Capt. R. did
not belong to the right club, or live in the first set, and
then he was so very dull in the tilbury, I really could
not stand it !"

Early on Sunday morning Susan Log, a young
woman of bad fame, who resided in the Castle-wynd, Grass-
market, was found by one of the night policemen floating
in an upright position in the canal, between the first and
second wooden bridges ; and from being missing, and other
circumstances, it is supposed she must have been in the
water for six or seven days. Her brother, a person also of
bad eminence among the frequenters of the police-office
here, was apprehended in Elgin on some charge of theft,
which, it is suspected, will lead to his removal from the
country ; and this circumstance, conspiring with intempe-
rance, is supposed to have produced a depression of spirits,
which ended in her throwing herself into the canal.—Scots-
man.

LIBERTY OF GLASSHOUSE-YARD.

There were nine objections on this list, seven of which
were sustained in consequence of the parties not attending
to support their claim, although the overseer said he had
no doubt they were qualified.
(Before Mr. FALCONER.)
ST. ANDREW, HOLBORN.

The only case worthy of notice before Mr. Far..coNEa
was that of Mr. Cooke, of Marchmont-street, who produced
all his receipts, but his name not appearing on the rate-
books, the claim was not admitted.
The correction of the several lists having been made, the
Court broke up.
At this registration the Tories had three or four agents
in each Court, and no opportunity was lost of taking ad-
vantage of any remissness on the part of the Reformers,
who had no actual representative in either Court, Mr.
Winch's objections being chiefly confined to his own parish.

AQUATICS.

GRAND SAILING MATCH.-The match amongst the three
large class boats of the Thames Yacht Club creates consider-
able interest in the aquatic circles. They have all won prizes,

first for choice, the Princess next. The Water Lilly has been
engaged to accompany the match.

WINDSOR-FRIDAY.

Yesterday the Queen took her usual airing.
This afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by the Duchess
of Kent and Royal suite, rode to Virginia Water on horst-
back. The following personages also attended her Majesty :
Lords Palmerston, Melbourne, and Paget ; Baroness Leb-
zen and the Hon. Colonel Cavendish. Lady Charlemont,
Lady Mary Stopford, Miss Lister, 1 the Hon. Mrs.
Brand, followed in an open barouche. •
The troops were inspected yesterday afternoon by her
Majesty in the Grand Quadrangle. The inspection will be
repeated every Thursday at two o'clock, till her Majesty's
departure from Windsor.
Several distinguished visitors are expected to arrive to-
morrow.
There have been no arrivals or departures since our last
report.
The health of the Queen, since her Majesty's arrival at
the Castle, is, we are happy to state, much improved. Her
Majesty is particularly partial to this venerable seat of her
ancestors, and takes great delight in riding on horseback
through the various beautiful drives of the Great Park.
Crowds of people assemble daily at the entrance of the
Long Walk, anxious to obtain a sight of their youthful and
amiable Sovereign.

(Before Mr. CRAIG.)
The Court commenced the revision of the lists for St.
Botolph Aldersgate.
The first claim was that of Mr. Charles Bull, of 10,
Hare-court.
The Overseer produced the rate-books, in which the
claimant was rated as Joseph Bull.
Mr. Rower said it seemed to be a cock and a bull story
altogether, as the name of Joseph Bull was already on tbei
list. The claimant was clearly not on the rate-book, an
a
therefore his claim was not good.
Claim disallowed.
The next claimant was William Calf—(A laugh)---als°
of Hare-court.
Mr. Rowcroft—l oppose this son of the old 801 l who
has just been dispatched.
The Overseer proved that the name of the claimant vas
on the rate books--that lie had paid the January and the
April rates, but the present overseers had excused him from
the payment of former rates. They were made in 1836,
but he was excused the payment about June, 1837.
Mr. Tijon, the Liberal agent, contended that his °P-
por.ent had no right to ask any question respecting 0.111
other rate than those which the Act of Parliament InaVe
it necessary to have paid, which were from the 31st
1836, to the 31st of July, 1837, all of which had been pal°.
Mr. CRAIG said the point had never been made before,
and he considered it one of so much importance that be
would consult his Learned Colleague on it, and retired for
that purpose.
On his return he said his Learned Friend had not bad
the point made before him ; if both sides would agree be
would take the evidence de bene esse, and maturely con-
sider the point, which being agreed to the case stands over.

POLISH REFUGEES.

We insert without loss of time the following letter from
the President and Committee of the Polish Emigration in
London,—not that we believe any feeling prejudicial to the
characters of those brave men can arise out of the misre-
presentation to which it alludes, although it must be pain-
ful to the feelings of those gentlemen to find that any human
being should be so depraved as to assail all that now re-
mains to them of any value in this life, " their honour."
But with every true patriot of the British Isles, with every
lover of national independence and rational freedom, the
genuine character of the Polish patriotic refugees is so much
respected, that it is in no danger of being injured by the
baseners of imposters, who, whether they may have been
emigrants from Poland or not, are, in all probability, the
hired spies and informers of the oppressor of their country.
The pages of history, unfortunately, too often expose to us
the appalling and disgraceful fact, that the tyrants who have
wasted with fire and sword the fertile plains of Poland, and
other ill-fated countries, have often added to their wicked-
ness the diabolism of sending their disgraceful emissaries
about the world, (some of these wretches have even titles of
"honour"), to blacken and vilify those whom they have,
by the most unjustifiable rapine, plundered of their just
rights and properties. But we say to the brave Polanders,
be of good cheer, do not despair.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.

Sir—The Committee of the Polish Emigration in London
have read with great surprise the account of the examina-
tion of Joseph Jacobi, at the Surrey Sessions, in the papers
of the 14th inst. The statement of the pretended Polish
gentleman, who intimated that he was deputed by them to
act in defence of the said Joseph Jacobi, was a complete
falsehood ; and they are anxious moreover to caution the
public generally against such impostors, many of whom en-
deavour to work upon their kindness by assuming the title
of Polish refugees, to which they have no claim whatever.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

CITY OF LONDON.
(Before Mr. CRAIG.)
Yesterday, at the sitting of the Court, Mr. CRAIG gave
his decision in the case of Mr. Fairclough, which was heard
a few days ago. After reviewing all the facts in the case,
the Learned Barrister concluded by saying—ln all cases of
this kind the general question was, whether or not a par-
ticular room or place for which a claim is made as being a
counting-house is bona fide so. On the whole he (Mr.
Craig) did not think he should be justified in holding this
to be bona fide a counting-house ; and though he was pre-
pared to expect his successor might entertain a different
opinion, yet he was disposed to place Mr. Fairclough's
name on the list in respect of a counting-house in Great
Winchester-street.

Mr. CRAIG then gave his decision on Mr. Dobell's case.
He appears on the list of voters for the parish of Allhal-
lows, Lombard-street, as being qualified to vote in respect
of a house, No. 2, Ball-alley ; he has not been objected
to. The fact, however, is, that before the 31st of July he
had removed from that house to a house, No. 25, Gr.ace-
church-street, and seeing that his name had been inserted
in the list of voters in respect of the house in Ball-alley,
he sent in to one of the overseers, in proper time and pro
per form, a claim to be put upon the list of voters for this
parish in respect of the house in Gracechurch-street. The
learned Barrister delivered an elaborate judgment, conclud-
ing in the following words :—ln the present instance, inas-
much as Mr. Dobell's name has appeared on the list of
voters, in respect of the house from which he has removed,
ample opportunity has been given of objecting to him upon
the ground of any personal disqualification to which he
might be subject ; and, upon the whole, I think that any
general power of correcting mistakes, coupled with the
reasons I have given on the other view of the case, will
justify me in inserting his present qualification in the list.

By the Authoress of
" Sketches of Irish Character," " The Buccaneer," &s.
" Mrs. Hall's new and delightful novel, bearing the title of
Uncle Horace,' more than sustains the high reputation of its po-
pular writer. Its bachelor hero, Uncle Horace,' is a capital and.
original sketch—more truly ad emphatically English than any

work deserves to attain a popularity not surpassed by that of any
female writer of the day."—Globe.

Intelligence from Waterford, just received, states,
that between that city and the coast of Wexford, a large
brig, name unknown, was destroyed in the gale. She was
last seen, deserted, on Blackwater Bank, partly wrecked,
with signals of distress flying, but there were none of the
crew visible. She has since entirely disappeared.
We understand that Mr. Sheridan Knowles's new
comedy forthcoming at the Haymarket, which has been so
long announced, has only been written within the last six
or seven weeks—the first two acts having been delivered to
Mr. Webster in the latter end of August, and the two last
only so lately as the 14th instant, when it was read. Re-
port speaks highly in its favour.
A dreadful accident occurred at Frome on Tuesday
last, to a young man, a servant of A. Whitaker, Esq., who,
in endeavouring to jum) over some iron fencing on his
master's premises, became transfixed on the top thereof,
three of the spikes basing entered the abdomen and in-
flicted severe wounds. It was some time before the poor
fellow could be removed ; he has since received the best
surgical assistance, and some hopes are entertaim d of his
recovery.—Sherborne Journal.
