MARKET NEWS.-(T HIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

-
During the present week, the arrivals of English wheat
have been moderately good ; yet the stands to-day were by
no means largely supplied with samples. All descriptions
moved off steadily at about Monday's quotations. In foreign
Wheat, for export as well as for home con,umption, very
little business was doing; yet the holders were firm, and
would not sell except at full prices. The import of Barley
having been large, the Barley trade was slow, at late rates.
The show.of English parcels was trifling. With Malt we
were scantily supplied; yet the brewers were very 'cautious
in their operations, at barely late rates. Oats were tolerably
steady; but all other articles, including Indian corn, com-
manded very little alteration.

The number of Beasts on offer being on the increase, and
the attendance of buyers small, the Beet trade was exces-
sively dull, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs, the
highest figure for the best Scots being only 4s per Sibs, and
at which a clearance was not effected. There were in the
market 262 Beasts, 30 Sheep, and 21 Calves from Holland
and Germany. The supply of Sheep was by no means large,
yet the sale for that description of stock was very heavy,
and the prices receded quite 2d per Blbs. The first arrival of
Lambs for the season from the Isle of Wight took place to-
day, 30 head having reached us from that quarter in good
condition. The Lamb trade was dull, at prices varying from
5s 2d to 6s per Sibs. Calves moved off heavily, at a reduc-
tion in value of 2d per 81bs. In Pigs, next to nothing was
doing. Mitch Cows were a slow sale, at from 161 to 181 5s
each, including their small calf.

CHANCERY.L---(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Old Hall, and
heard appeals to-day.

THE ArIORNEY-GENERAL V. THE :%lERCITANT VENTURERS

SOCI ET Y.

The arguments in this part heard appeal from the judg-
ment of his Lordship the Master of the Rolls, which have
already occupied the court several days, were resumed and
concluded to-day. The case came before the Master of the
Rolls upon an information filed by her Majesty's Attorney-
General for the purpose of ascertaining what property be-
longed to a charity in Bristol, founded by a gentleman of the
name of Colston in the year 1708. From the statements of
the information it appeared that in 1708 Mr. Edward
Colston, a native of Bristol, was desirous of estab-
lishing in that city a hospital or charity for
maintaining and educating fifty poor boys, and placing them
cut as apprentices, and that such charity should be conducted
by the Society of Merchant Venturers of the city of Bristol,
of which Mr. Colston was a member. Afterwards Mr. Col-
ston desired to extend the benefit of the charity to au addi-
tional fifty boys; and, for the two purposes, procured to be
conveyed to the defendants a mansion-house in St. Augus-
tine's-back, in Bristol, the manor of Beere, and lands in
Sornersetshire, and certain fee-farm rents of the then aggre-
gate annual value of 1,2781. The manor and rectory of
Locking were also given to the defendants, who accepted the
trusts of the charity. It appeared that the property now
produced the annual sum of 3,0001. ' - and the question raised
by the information was, to whom the surplus belongs after
providing for the maintenance of the 100 boys?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that the Society of
Merchant Venturers took the estates which were conveyed
to them, as trustees only, and for the benefit of the charity;
and that they took the trust accompanied by an obligation
to maintain the charity for 100 boys, and even if the revenue
of the charity estates should be insufficient, unless such in-
sufficiency were occasioned by fire, hurricane, or other in-
evitable accident; while, on the contrary, the defendants
contended that the estates were conveyed to them abso-
lutely for their own use, subject only to the condition of
their maintaining the charity forone hundred boys, according
to the directions of the founder; the more so as they were
bound to maintain the hundred boys whatever might be the
amount of the rents of the property, and, therefore, any sur-
plus beyond what might be necessary for that purpose be-
longed to them, in respect of the risk entered into by them.
The Master of the Rolls, by his decree of the Ist of August,
1842, declared that the lands and hen dihments were held on
charitable trusts, and that the defendants were not entitled
to appropriate any part of the rents to their own use, and, at
the same time, directed an inquiry to the Master of what the
property consisted, an account of the rents from the filing or
the informati,m, and also ordered him to approve of a scheme
for the future regulation of the charity, and against this de-
cree the present appeal was brought.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied to-day at some length,
and at the conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's argu-
ments,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should take time to con-
sider his judgment.

LANE V. DURRANT.
The arguments in this part-heard appeal were then re-
sumed, and occupied his Lordship the remainder of th♦
morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

ELDERTON R. LACK.
This was a suit to establish a lieu on an annulv, and
also to prove its priority, under the fol'owing circumstances.
The defendant, who held the office of Examiner General of
the Board of Cuwoms, had assigned his pension, as well as
current salary. to the plaintiff for a consideration of
and an annuity of 1951. 19s. during his lifetime. The deed
wrs executed prior to the expiration of the term of servitude
which entitled the defendant to the pension, which was also
subject to the approval of the Lords of the Treasury.
Mr. KINDERSLEY, on the part of the &lenient, contended
that the assignment in question was invalid and .ippo•led to
public policy, being calcutated to induce persons to cling to
office even at a period when they were ineotnpetwat to dis-
cbargs efficiently their duties. The Learned Counsel RASO
contended that the memorial in this ease did not set forth
