THE FUNDS.

Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday.
87i for account. The report yesterday that the
Lightning steamer had arrived with the answer of the
King of Holland proves incorrect, and nothing is knows,
up to the present hour, on the subject, for which some
anxiety prevails.

The accounts from Oporto, this morning, are somewhat
of a gloomy nature. Don Pedro's troops experienced
a repulse on the 17th ult., at Villa Nova, but the grand
attack on Oporto, which was expected on the 21st, did
not take place. No doubt, as the French Generals have
arrived, we may soon expect to hear of some important
operations in that quarter.
In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.
The following important letter from Oporto, dated the
4th Jan., has been exhibited at Lloyd's:—
" The year begins well, General Solignac arrived on
New Year's day, and is very much pleased with the
lappearancewithhis of thlempri
troops.eal Majesty, He has
a.
by
yrewadhom h
already visited e
hthie.
been received most graciously. The organizing already
made of the excellent French corps, and the improvement
of the English battalions have admitted of the Occupation
of the town of Foe, on the 31st ult., and the erection of a
battery or redoubt, on the Senera de Luz, thereby insuring
the debarkation on the coast to the north of the bar,
Our first operation has thus been well combined, and
we have a secure landing ;—we have besides strengthened
and completed a new redoubt of Onabide, which
in two days will begin to play upon the batte-
ries of the Furrada, by means of which the enemy
intended to close the entry of the river. Everything here
is in the best possible state, and our military operations
will soon take a different course.
The recent measures of the Spanish Government not to
admit into the ports of Spain, vessels the flag of which
has not been officially recognised, have been requisite as a
precaution in consequence of the imprudence of some of our
naval officers at Vigo. The steam-boats in providing the
city will continue.

General Solignac, who arrived with his Staff and men
on the Ist instant, has been created Field-Marshal, and
he will soon assume the offensive.

A letter from Oporto, dated the 4th instant, gives a
favourable description of General Solignacis first opera-
tions on his arrival at Oporto.
Consols may be qnoted as in the early part •f the morn-
ing, 871 s.llers for the Account. Danish Stock rather
heavy.

ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE TOTTENHAM CHARITY.
Mr. BETHELL statel, that this tea., a petition prninfr!S
the confirmation of the Master's report approvingf
extended scheme for the regulation of the charity,' and.; C 3?
giving power to a majority of the trustees to execute--
leases. The original founder of the charity had left cer-
tain property in Tottenham for the support of poor per-
sons in alms. houses there. A suit bad been filed fur the
proper administration of the charity, and under the decree
of the Court it was referred to the Master to approve
of a scheme for its regulation. A scheme having been
approved of, the charity was for some time carried on
under it ; but the funds increasing, an application was
made to the Court to refer it to the Master to approve of
an extended scheme, whereby a larger allowance was to be
given to the objects of the testator's bounty. The M,ster
had approved of such a scheme. Under the charity, as
.eiginatly constituted, candle trustees were required to exe.
cute the leases, but as they were attended with great expense
the Master had suggested, if it met with the appro.-
nation of the Court, that till leases executed by a ina-
j,,rity of the trustees should he considered valid.
The MASTER of the floras thought the suggestion of
the Master, that the power of hearing should be given to a
majority of the trustees, ought to be adopted by the Court,
(nd ordered the confirmation of th,.. 11f .titer's report.
