THE FUNDS.

Up to the present hour we have no confirmation of the
great victory over the Russians by the Poles, reported
yesterday afternoon : still it appears evident the Poles have
gained some important advantages over their enemy.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 84 for the ac-
count, opened at 84k, with little doing. The speculators
are shy in their operations until they hear further news
from Belgium. Consols are now 841 ; for money, 844."
In the Foreign Alarket there is nothing doing.
We this morning hear that the Polish legation are in
possession of accounts with the particulars of the im-
portant victory obtained by the Poles over the Russians.
It is stated that the battle lasted two days, the 10th and
20th May. The conflict was bloody and obstinate ; it
only took place with the Russian Imperial Guard, com-
manded by General Pahlen. Report says they are almost
destroyed. The battles were obstinate and sanguinary.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Up to the present hour we have no further information
from Poland, in regard to the desperate battle said to have
been fought on the 19th and 20th May. Perhaps in 48 hours
the public anxiety will be relieved on the important event.
Consols are not quite so good as in the early part of the
morning, when they were 81a for the account, since which
they have receded to 84,i I, with little doing.

.IIE .AST OF THE ITALIAN SOPRANI.—
Ilut peace to the manes of the Italian soprani : the race
is fast verging towards extinction, even in the very chapels
where it originated, and never, we devoutly hope, will any
musical Rosicrucian endeavour to revivify its ashes. On
the Italian stage, we believe but one solitary exemplar
remains ; and he is treading the down-hill path both of life
and reputation. That we had an opportunity of hearing
him we shall always rejoice, for ,wo reasons : first, that
it cured us of some longings we certainly felt to hear the
desenption of voice which had so charmed our ancestors ;
and, secondly, that the result of the experiment was such,
as by no means to encourage a repetition. But were we
to admit the superior taste, and other high qualities
ascribed to VELLUTI, even then we should say that gold
may be bought at too dear a price. And who that had
beard a AIALIBRAN or a VESTALS, would sigh over the days
uf FARINELLI and PAccruisnorrz ?—Harmonicon for

L 1W INTELLIGENCE—(TiIIs DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
SHIRLEY V. LORD FERRER&

Sir E. SUGDEN moved that the injunction granted yes-
terday by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, restraining the
defendant from cutting timber generally, and from remov-
ing that which had already been cut, might be dissolved.
Tn March last an injunction issued to restrain Lord Ferrers
from cutting ornamental timber.. He did not mean to
violate that order, but considered that he had still the right
to fell trees which had not been planted or left growing for
ornament; and having been engaged the day before yester-
day in cutting that which he did net view as ornamental,
application was immediately made to the Court below, and
on a statement that the timber was ornamental, in the act
~f being felled, his Honour granted the injunction com-
plained of, without allowing time to the defendant to
answer the affidavits that bad been filed by the plaintiffs
only on the 31st of May. This was not a more prepos-
terous injunction (in the Learned Counsel's opinion) than
if his Honour had restrained the Noble Lard from enter-
ing into his own house or carriage, and which, therefore,
could not be maintained for a moment.

Mr. KINDERSLEY, contra, said the defendant was tenant
for life of the estate in question, and a more spiteful act
of cutting timber, a more decided case of waste, and de-
termination to deAroy the ornaments of the estate for.the
next taker never was brought into Court.
The Loan CHANCELLOR observed that as an injunction
had issued sometime a..To to prevent that which❑ was now
complained of, if that injunction were violated both Lord
Ferrers and his agent would have to go to the Fleet::

Mr. KINDERSLEY submitted that that would be no com-
pensation or security for the next taker. In the present
ease his Honour would have granted the defendant time to
arrange the affidavits, if his Counstl would have under-
t.ken not to do anything in the meantime; but they would
not. Here his Lordship was cutting down ornamental
groves, hanging woods, avenues, vistulas, and so on—
almost all consisting of oak ; and it was well known that
the season for cutting oak particularly huh gone by. Aston
zr. Aston, Ist Vesey, see page 264, was an authority for
the Court's interference.

Mr. KNIGHT was on the same side, and while address-
ing the Court Lord Ferrers entered it, and when he was
observed by the Lord Chancellor standing at the end of
the bar, amidst the indiscriminate spectators, the Lord
Chancellor invited him to take a seat on the Bench, which
his Lordship immediately complied with. Mr. Knight
concluded his argument, and
The Loan CHANCELLOR refused to hear the reply. He
thought the injunction had been hastily granted, and that
it must be dissolved. In dissolving it, however, he hoped
the Noble defendant and his agents would be exceedingly
careful that in cutting the timber they did not violate the
injunction which was granted in March last, and which
violation would undoubtedly lead to a sequestration and
committal to the Fleet.
