SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—TIMRSDAY.
Business was so languid that on some of the principal
events we are spared the trouble of making a quotatiun.
The chief betting, in fact, was on the Liverpool Stuple
Chase, for which Brunette and Roarer were backed freely,
no one offering more than 5 to 1 on the field at the close.
The few beta laid on the other events noticed led to no
change in the prices.

A case arising out of the Treaty of Utrecht was
brought to a hearing on Friday before the Cour Royale,
Paris. According to Arts 33 and 34 of the Treaty And Art.
8 of the Special Convention of 1769 between Prance and
Spain, the Consuls of each nation are declared to be the legi-
timate administrators of the effects of all their fellow-coun-
trymen dying within their respective jurisdictions. A short
time ago, Mme. de Portago, a rich Spanish lady, died in
Varis, leaving at her residence property of great value.
The Spanish Consul proceeded to take possession of all she
left behind her, in order to transfer it to the parties entitled.
M. Pichard, an interested party, interfered and insisted that
the property of the deceased should be administered according
to the common forms of law in France; but the President of
the Civil Tribunal, before which his claim was brought, decreed
that the Spanish Consul alone was entitled to take the possession
of the property, to dispose of it, and place the produce in the
hands of a Spanish merchant, to be selected by himself in
compliance with the treaty anti convention above cited. It
was further decreed, that, of the effects, 7,500 f. should be
paid into the hands of M. Labaudy, notary, for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of the last illness and interment of
the deceased and other urgent claims upon the estate. M.
Pichard appealed against the first part t f this decree, and the
Consul against the second part. The Cour 11,,yale dismiss,el
the appeal of M. Pichard, and admitted the validity of that
made by the Consul, declaring that all the produce of the
tff•cts of the deceased should remain in his hands, and that
it belonged to him only to settle and pay the debts and other
claims upon her estate.—Gallonane
