the foreign papers we do not find that there is much be-

preparations; but they may be simply precautionary, and
it is to be hoped that if any act ut violence occurs, pand•
ing the negotiations in which Lord Palmerston has taken
so warm and disinterested an inter,st, England will with-
hold at once its further good offices, and leave the par-
ties concerned to fight it out. What Italy will bring
forth it is impossible to say, but the preparations at
Toulon are interpreted as being for the purpose of re-
instating the Pope.

wh4t is known per electric telegraph, which informs u
of the vessel having on board 1,000,000 dollars in coin

the state of the colonies are represented to be rather
more favourable, but we expect nu particular im-
provement until there is a thorough carrying
out of free-trade principles. The colonies cannot be
expected to prosper under a patchwork system, and it'
deprived of protection they should have other compen-
satory facilities afforded them.
The result of last night's division. upon the naviga-
tion-laws, although not leaving a very I,,rge majority, en-
courages the hope that this vexatious question will soon
be disposed of. A moment's reflection shows us that
our commerce is " cabined and confined" by the anti
quitted restrictions put upon it, and that the great ma-
jority in this country—the consuming classes—are sacri-
ficed to the supposed interests of the shipowners who,
after all, are never contented, and, if we are to believe
themselves, never benefited.

VICE-CIAls CERY.—(I HIS DAY.)
(B. fore Vice Chancellor Wionam.)
EARL GRANVILLE V. 21`NIEL.
His IloN‘burt gave
.judgment in this cause this morn- -
ing. l.it skiJ, by a settlement made on the 11th of
Jude, 1833, power was reserved to a gentleman, named
George Alexander Fullerton, his executors, adminis-
trators, anal assigns, in a certain event which after-
wards happened, to a[ point a now trustee jn the place
of a person named Stone, one of the original trustees of
by setileinenr. Stone died in 1834, and George Alex-
Leder Ftiliartue is since dead, navtog male a will, by
in: blip:duo:Ll e per to set as his exeeu-
L• . of the e xt ea:, hail reuoutreed the execu-
rsitip, anti the v ill !lull Lieu preyed by the surviving
cx eutors. The acting oxe'.utor of Stune'a will had ap•
pointed a trustee of the settlement in the place
of his testator. The surviving trustees of the
settlt went of Jute, 1833, had called on the
trustee appointed under Stone's will, to convey, the
property to them; and the question was, whether the
app iinturent of a trustee by the acing executor of Stone's
will was a good appointment. His Honour was of
opinion that the appointment was a good one.
ING v. KENNY.—JUDGMENT.
His Horeoun Iso gave judgment in this cause. The
circumstances of the ca-e, he said, were these. The tes-
tator directed his residuary personal estate to be divided
into four parts; two of those parts were to go to two
persons %no took absolutely; and the other two parts
were directed in such a way as that the persons now in
possession-should take a life estate only. Upon the hear-
ing of the case on further directions a sum of 5001. was
reserved out of the general estate to answer further costs;
and subject to that reservation, two shares of the resi-
duary personal estate were handed over to
the persons entitled absolutely, and a refer,
ence was directed to the Master to carry
on the general estate; secondly, to inquire whether the
shares of the real estate of the two persons who took ab-
solutely should be sold; and, thirdly, to ascertain how
much of a certain fund in court, part of the settled shares,
consisted of principal moneys, and how much of interest.
The Master had made his report, and the only question
raised before him (the Vice-Chancellor) on Saturday
last, was to what extent the 5001. reserved to answer costs
was liable to the costs incurred under the last reference
to the Master. There could be no difficulty in answer.
ing the question on the first point. The first related to
the general estate, and the inquiry, whatever its result
might be, was for the benefit of all the parties interested
in the general estate, and the costs of that inquiry musts
therefore, come out of the 500/ ; on the second point, as
to the shares of the real estate of the two partiear
entitled absolutely, he thought the costs ought to
come out of the shares of those parties ; the
third point,, as to whether those costs ought to be,
paid out of the 5001., part of the general estate, or out of
the shares directed to be settled, was more difficult of so-
lution under the circumstances of this case. Where a fund
was severed from an estate, and inquiry became neces-
sary with respect to the severed portion of the fund, that
fund would bear the costs of the inquiry, although thosa
costs might have been paid out of the general estate a
the inquiry had been directed before the severance, be
the reservation of the 5001. had kept the question open,
and obliged him to consider whether it was originally
chargeable on the general estate. There was no shoo'
lute rule on the subject, but in this case he thought
those costs ought to come out of, and were original',
chargeable on, the general estate. He must treat this
case as one of due administration of the estate by the es'
ecutors, and consequently that the inquiry under
which the costs in question had been In"
curred were incident to the general adminietratioe
of the estate in a due course of administration ; and b°
ought not to diminish any one share of the residuary
legatees in favour of the other shares. Therefore the
costs of the inquiry would come out of the 5001.; and Lb°
second, as to tau sale, would come out of the shares of
the parties interested; and the costs of the third part 0
the inquiry would come out of the general estate.

His HONOUR was occupied in hearing the arguments
in this, which was a part-heard case on a previous do,'
The case did not present any materials calling for a de
tailed report.

The Funds have been exposed to some fluctuation
again to-day, the settlement showing a still more
"Bullish" state of things than had been expected, for
the speculators have postponed their arrange-
ments to the last minute, and have experienced the
usual fate of being severely punished for their temerity.

A solicitor, who attended for the prisoner, cross-exs"

the prosecutor, that when he ascertained from Mr,
Blockey that the latter had paid 31.85. 3d. for whioh,,tl
prisoner had not accounted, he (Mr. Hodson) ask
Perkins to give him an account of all the sums whit
he had received and not accounted for. The prisoaeit

produced. It was not obtained by any promise of
upon any understanding that the prisoner was to be
allowed time to pay up the deficiency. bf
