THE FUNJJS.—(T Ills DAY.)

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

IN THE MATTER OF HICKSON, A LUNATIC.
This case came before the Court upon petition, for the
purpose of getting the will of the lunatic out of Court, in
order to have it proved by the executors.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Court never made
an order for the delivery of the will to the party, but to the
officer of the Prerogative Court. His Lordship would
make that order, but would go no further.

RAMPOOR.—The Nawab lately, while tiger hunting, nar-
rowly escaped being killed by a large lion, which attacked his
elephant, killed the muhaut, and was in the act of springing
on the Nawab, when he received a second fatal gun-shot
wound. The animal measured from head to tail 18 feet.
" Singapore Papers to the 29th July have also been received.
Several Junks have arrived there, and the prices of imports
were expected to decline a little. There is no political intel-
ligence of any interest. The war with Cochin China appeared
to be at an end.
"We to-day publish a statement of the value of the imports
and exports of the settlement for the year ending April last,
as compared with the preceding year, from which there ap-
pears an increase in the imports on the last year, of about
150,000 Spanish dollars, and a decrease in the exports of about
500,000 Spanish dollars."

Among the Commercial Interest great activity was displayed
yesterday, and according to all appearances the pressure, which
recently prevailed amongst the merchants and money classes,
is fast subsiding.
The amount of bills sent in to the Bank this week for dis-
count has been rather considerable, and they have met with
liberality onthe part of the Directors in their discounts.
In the Foreign Market little doing as yet, owing to the ac-
counts from Bilboa being of such a contradictory description
that they puzzle the most knowing speculators in Spanish
securities, as well as the various information which the Stock-
joling French telegraph gives from day to day. Spanish
