Our arrivals this morning are the French and Dutch mails
of yesterday, with ship letters from New York by the Napo-
leon—sailed on the 9th inst. By this last arrival, it appears
that bills on London have declined about per cent. The
principal sales were at 8 to 81 per cent. premium, and on
France sf. 274-c. to sf. 30c. ; on Holland 40c. ; on Hamburg

The few arrivals this morning, with a want of intelligence
from the Continent and the Peninsula, cause a pause in the
operations both in the British and Foreign Markets to the
present hour. The debates in the House of Commons last
night, however, afford sufficient food for the attention of the
public, who are elated at the majority which Ministers have
obtained on the third reading of the Irish Corporation Bill.
The Tories must now be convinced they stand no chance in
the House of Commons.

terday, 91/3-1 for the Account and Money, with very little

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

DR. MORRISON'S LETTERS.
MORRISON AND OTHERS V. THOMAI ♦ND BENNETT

Mr. KNIGHT applied this morning ex parte, upon a bill filed
and affidavit, for an injunction to restrain the defendants from
publishing the private letters of the late celebrated Dr. Mor-
rison. The plaintiffs in the case were the widow of Dr. Mor-
rison and a gentleman connected with the Foreign Missionary
Society, who was appointed by the Doctor to act in the cha-
racter of executor. The defendants were a Clergyman named
Thomas, and Mr. Bennett, his publisher. The affidavits on
which the application for the injunction was founded, stated
that the family and friends of the late Dr. Morrison con-
sidered the letters in question, which went through a long se-
ries of years, most valuable literary compositiols. The defendants
had, by some means unknown to plaintiffs, obtained possession of
those letters, and they had put forth the following advertise-
ment on the wrapper of the " Evangelical Magazine." Early
in April will be published in demy octavo the " Letters" of the
late Dr. Morrison, with an Appendix, comprising the lan-
guage, religion, and government of China, by John Thomas,
some time fellow student with Dr. Morrison. It will contain

120 Letters of the late Dr. Morrison, and will be one of the
most entertaining books publi3hed since " Hayley's Life of
Cooper." It was sworn that the Letters in question had not
been sent for the purposes of publication, and that the friends
of the late Dr. Morrison knew not by what means Mr. Thomas
had got possession of the Letters.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought there was a prima facie
case for an injunction, and ordered accordingly, at the same
time desiring the parties to give notice immediately to the
other side.
