THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY;)

CITY, TTVELVE 0' CLOCK.
We have very little to communicate to the present hour.
The only a, rival is from Calcutta, by which Papers have
been received to the ISth February, five days later than
the last, and they are void of interest.
Our Funds appear rather heavy. Consols, which left
off yesterday at S3i i for the account, opened at S3i,
since which they have been done at 83:1- and at present
they are s3a ; this decline is attributed to the report of
the French tunds coming lower, but nothing positive has
as yet transpired on the subject.
The public curiosity is now gratified in regard to the
annuity of Prince Leopold in Earl Grey's answer in the
house last night to the question put by Lord Londonderry,
that it was a Parliamentary grant which could not be taken

- -
from him.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.

The express from Paris has brought intelligence that
the French Funds are higher instead of lower, as was re-
ported in the Stock Exchange in the early part of the
morning. They are 57f. 80c. This is a proof that no com•
motions took place at Paris on 'Thursday—the day on
which disturbance was expected.
The fluctuation in Consols during the morning has been
from 83:1 down to 83+, and up again to 83-a ?1, at which
price they are at present.
Up to the present time we have no political news of
importance.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT 0 F CHANGER Y.

COMNIITTAL OF MR. WELLESLEY TO THE FLEET.
BEAuFORT V. WELLESLEY.

Sir E. SUGDEN moved, at the sitting of the Court, for
an order to commit Mr. Wellesley to the Fleet prison, for
having last night at six o'clock carried off from the resi-
dence and care of her guardian his youngest (female)
infant child. The application was made on the affidavit
of Mrs. Tilney Long, from whom the child had been taken.
It stated that last night Mr. Wellesley in company with
four other persons went to Unstead Wood, armed with
what appeared to be constables' staves, and forcibly and
violently took the child, put her into a carriage which
they had taken with them for the purpose, and drove off
with her with the utmost velocity. Mrs. T. Long's foot-
men made every attempt in their power to stop the car-
riage horses and re-capture the infant, but all such efforts
proved ineffectual.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that instead of hearing
an affidavit this morning read for the committal cf Mr.
W., he had expected to have heard one made by Mr. W.
for the committal of some other person, from the tenor of
a letter he hail seen this morning, sent to him by Mr. W.
at two o'clock midnight.
Mr. Coartenay (one of the guardians) took his seat on
the bench with his Lordship, and stated that the children
were at Unstead-wood, Ciodalming, by order of the
guardians.

- Sir EDWARD Sucnim observed, that the order of the
Court of February, 1827, restraining Mr. W. from
removing or interfering in any way with the children,
had never been rescinded or altered, and therefore Mr.
W. had in this instance committed one of the greatest
contempts of Court that he (the Learned Counsel) had
ever known.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL at this moment entered the
Court, and said he had not yet been able to see or receive
any witnesses from his client, Mr. W. He had seen Mr.
W. in the House of Commons last night, who there de-
tailed to him a certain state of facts; and on that occa-
sion he (the solicitor-General) said he wished he had
seen him (Mr. W.) at the instant, because then he would
have advised him instantly to lay the details before his
Lordship.

Sir E. SUGDEN said he had a right at all events to have
an order, and he pressed for such order, that the child
should be instanter delivered over to the guardian. Mr.
W. himself had attended on Thursday last before the Mas-
ter, upon the appointment of a guardian in the place of the
late Duchess of Wellington, and last night he had been
giilty of the most improper conduct.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would certainly not
delay one moment in ordering the child (who is between
eleven and twelve years of age) to be restored to the cus-
tody of Mr. Courtenay, the guardian. There was a pre-
cedent for such prompt interference, and it was to be found
in the matter of Courtown. The mother of the infant in
that case was in the Fleet prison, and the latter withdrew
from the custody of her guardians and flew to her
mother. Lord Eldon immediately ordered the Ser-
jeant-at-Arms to go to the prison bodily, to take
pos.ession of the child, and to convey her again into
the hands of the guardians. In the present case he
should act in a similar way. Accordingly he ordered Mr.
Butts, the Serjeant-at- Arms, to set off without delay with
his (his Lordship's) warrant to Berkeley-square, there to
get his carriage, and to proceed to Dover-street, or where-
ever the child might be found, to take her, to put her
into the carriage, and to bring her into Court, when
she should immediately be turned over to Mr. Courtenay.
In the meantime his Lordship desired the solicitor of Mr.
Wellesley to start off in a coach to Mr. Wellesley with
the affidavit that had just been read, and to return as early
as he possibly could with an affidavit from Mr. Wellesley,
because the Court felt bound to justify its own jurisdic-
ticn, which had undoubtedly been grossly violated, awl
his Lordship was determined to dispo.e of the contempt
before be rose, if he should sit till twelve at night. As re-
garded the child, the Serjeant-at-Arms wa.s to consider
that he was to have nothing to do with Mr. Wellesley or
anybody else except the child ; be was to find the child
and take her at . once, without asking the permission of
either herself or any other human being.
The Sergeant-at-Arms returned to the Court at one
o'clock, but without being accompanied by the child.
IJe informed the Lord Chancellor that when he got to
Mr. Wellesley's house the servant told him that neither
Mr. Wellesley nor any other person was there. Ile re-
plied to the servant that he cane for the youna.
that he had the Lord Chancellor's order to takel.her, and
that he must search the house. The servant then observed
that he would himself first go up stairs and see if there
really was any person there. Ile soon came back, and
said that Mr. W. was up stairs, to whom he (Mr. Butts)
should be introduced. On seeing Mr. W., Mr. Butts re-
peated the object of his mission, and stated his authority.
Mr. W. observed that his daughter was not there, nor
would he tell where she was; that he himself would be
down to the Court in a short time, and see the Lord Chan-
cellor on the subject.
Mr. Wellesley appeared in Court a little before two
o'clock, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Gee.

The Loito eIiANCELLOR desired him to take his seat
on the Bench.

Ills Lonosnir asked Mr. Wellesley if lie had made an
affidavit, or instructed Counsel?

Mr. Wellesley replied he had not, but that his Counsel
had advised him to ask for time to answer the affidavits of
the plaintiffs.
His LORDSHIP observed, that he should have time as re-
garded the committal, but he had first a question to ask
him,—where the child was, whether he had ordered her
to be brought before him, when the order was issued,
and where she was, since it was served at his house?

Mr. Wellesley certainly had removed the child, and no-
thing should induce him to let her remain longer under the
guardianship of those who had had the care of her. Ile
was prepared to submit to the consequences.
His LORDSHIP then asked where the child now was?
Mr. Wellesley could not tell where she was just now,
but he had directed the Sergeant at Arms to whoa.'
he had intrusted her, to remove her forthwith out of the
jurisdiction of the Court.

His LORDSHIP then ordered Mr. Wellesley to stand
committed to the Fleet.

Mr. Wellesley then begged that his Lordship would
accompany him into his private room, where he wuuld
state his motives for the course he had pursued, and be
would not object to be accompanied by one counsel on
each side.

Tke Lord Chancellor, Mr. Wellesley, Sir E. Sugdens
and the Solicitor-General, went then into the private
room, where they remained half an hour. OA
their return the Serjeant-at- Arms was ordered to take
Mt. 'Wellesley into custody, and the Lord Chancel-
lor said, he had publicly to state, that though
the arms of the Court were long enough, and
strong enough to protect its own order, yet that
out of courtesy and as a proof of the very
high respect which that Court had for Parliament,
he had himself written a letter to Mr. Speaker, informing
him that one of the Members of his House had been ordered
to be committed, and he was accordingly committed.
In the course of his judgment, his Lordship said he pitied
Mr. Wellesley's situation, because though Mr. W. might
not know it, yet that no power on earth could get
him out of the imprisonment into which he was
ordered, short of an Act of Parliament, and that he might
depend on it he could not get readily.
Mr. Wellesley smiled, and said to the Serjeant, I ant ill
your custody, and must, of course, go along with you.
