THE KING V. THE AUDITORS OF ST. PANCRAS.

Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK said in this case he would take
the liberty of reminding the Court that its opinion was
anxiously looked for by the numerous parties interested in
the result. Until the matter in dispute was decided, great
inconvenience must result, and he hoped the Court would
take an early opportunity of giving judgment upon it.
The CHIEF-JUSTICE—That will probably be in the course
of t %vo or three days..

BAIL COURT.
THE KING V. THE VESTRY OF MARYLEBONE.

Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT applied to the Court for a rule
to show cause, why a mandamus should not issue against the
vestrymen of Marylebone, commanding them to pay over
to the trustees appointed under the Act for building New
Churches the surplus of the pew-rents of the church of
which Dr. Penfold was the minister. By the above Act,
the clergyman of each of the district churches was to have
an income of 5001. a year, payable out of the pew-rents,
and the surplus if any was to be vested in the hands of
trustees, for the purpose of building a vicarage for each of
the incumbents. The pew-rents of the church to which
Dr. Penfold belonged amounted considerably beyond the
500/., and Lord Skelmersdale and several gentlemen, ap-
pointed under the Act as trustees, had applied to the vestry
for the last seven years for the surplus, but which that
body had refused to pay over ; the vestry alleging that
they had a right to the surplus, and had expended it for
the purpose of reducing the parochial rates. Now,' this
mode of expenditure was contrary to the provisions of the
Act, and consequently he was entitled to the rule.
_ _ _

Mr. Justice PATTE.soN—You have stated sufficient for
a rule.

A rule was accordingly granted.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O' C L GK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend
Mails, and ship letters from the Mauritius.
We have received the Journal (f Commerce of Antwerp
of yesterday's date. The papers of the 18th say that
the private accounts received from Padang state, that there
would be soon a general attack on l3onjat, assisted by the
heavy artillery lately arrived ; and the army had been con-
siderably reinforced. Dutch two-and•a-half per Cents,
53 15-16 ; Five per Cents, 101 19-16 ; Ardoin's Loin,
24 13-16.

Yesterday, at the commencement of business in the Con-
sul Market, the funds were firm, and had every appearance
of a further improvement, owing to there being a scarcity of
stock in the market ; but towards the afternoon larp;e sales
of monied stock took place, of which the Bears taking ad-
vantage, commenced selling, and the price of Consols on a
sudden fell from 91,i to 901. An idea prevailed that the
Bank Directors were about to sell a part of the dead-
weight, or Government annuity held by the Bank ; but this
not being generally credited, towards the close of the Mar-
ket a re-action took place, and Consols left off at 90a for
the Account.

This morning the Consol Market still continues heavy,
as it is expected that the Bank Directors may make some
disclosures this day. Consols opened at 90 4 for the Ac-
count ; with very little business doing, as yet, in either of
the markets. Exchequer Bills, 25 27 ; India Bonds, 20
22 ; Bank Stock, 2101 : India Stock, 2601.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active, 261 ; Passive,
74 ; Deferred, 121 ; Portuguese, 50 ; Three per Cents.,
32} ; Colombian, 261 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
54f.
Everything in the City appears dull at present, owing to
the gloomy state of the weather, and there being no arrivals
from the Continent of any importance. _

Dispatches to the date of the 30th, have bz...en received in
Madrid, from General Espartero. He informs the Gotern-
ment that the bad weather still continues, but that as soon
as the snow gives way, he will destroy the lines thrown up
by the Carlists ; and, notwithstanding the precarious state
of his own health, will immediately commence active opera-
tions against the enemy. Another paragraph in the same
dispatch informs the Government that Gomez has been ap-
pointed to the command of the Carlist army, and that the
Navarrese are deserting in great numbers from the Pre-
tender's standard.

IL4LF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

We do not hear of any further Continental arrivals.

prem. ; India Bonds, 21 prem.; Bank Siock, 210 ; India
