THE FUNDS.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 88i 1, opened this
morning at BSi for the Account, with no speculation at
present, which may be attributed to the state of affairs in
the east of Europe. England and France it appears are
on the qui vine, watching the movements of the Russians
in the Black Sea, who have been for some time past pre-
paring an extensive force in the ports of that sea. Still
we are of opinion that Russia, single handedly, will not
venture hostilities against the two great Powers of Europe.
Up to the present hour we have no foreign mails,
owing to the gales and stormy weather during the night.
The Foreign Market is also inactive at present, and the
prices may be quoted the same as yesterday.

HALF-PAST ONE.

To the present hour, we have neither arrivals nor reports
of any description to communicate. It is the opinion
of the well informed in the city, that the decided mea-
sures which England and France have adopted respecting
Russia, will prevent a war on the Continent, and that that
power will listen to the remonstrances of England and
France. By the next arrivals from the Continent we may
hear some important information en the above subject.
Consols, which were in the early part of the day heavy
at BSi i for the Account, have rather improved, and may
be quoted at 881 1, but very little doing.
The Foreign Market is void of interest ; Spanish, 23
to I ; Portuguese, 561
Au arrival from Portugal may hourly be expected.

GENERAL PoST•OFFICE.—The following
notice was put up this morning :—" Letters for Lisbon in
time to-morrow by his Majesty's brig Pantaloon. The
packet will touch at Vigo with a bag of letters for Spain.
The Hamburg mail will in future be made up
on Fridays until further notice.
The Edinburgh Journals received on Satur-
day, repeat the report to which we formerly alluded re-
specting the resignation of Lord Cringletie, one of the
Judges of the Court of Session, and add that it is generally
believed that the Lord Advocate Jeffrey will be his sue.
cessor.

Collins, a private in the Third Dragoon
Guards, now lying in our barracks, in pursuance of the
sentence of a courtmartial, was tied up in the riding-
school on Monday and received 200 lashes. Collins
bears a bad character in the regiment, and his present
punishment was for an attempt at fraud.—Birmingham
Journal.

STEAM-ENGINES.—The French Academy
of Sciences, at their sitting of the 18th of November,
awarded a gold medal to M. Guy Cazalab, for a discovery
which, it is said, will give perfect security against the
bursting of steam-engine boilers. Though many most
important improvements have been made in the steam-
engine, we are not aware that the great desideratum of
complete security in the boiler had been obtained previously
to the discovery of this gentleman, who is a Professor in
the Royal College of Versailles.
The frequent discovery of minerals, now ad-
vancing i❑ our country, is fast developing new and impor-
tant resources. In New Jersey a copper mine has been
recently found, so valuable and abundant that the ore can
be taken out with little labour by tons, It is the sul-
phuret of copper, many of the ores of which species are
said to contain from 70 to 80 per cent, of copper, the
residue consists of oxide of iron and sulphur.—Philadel-
plain Chronicle,

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY•)

IN RE SIR RICHARD RUTH, A LUNATIC, DECE4IISRD•
Mr. LYNCH presented a petition, praying the Court to
confirm the Master's report, approving of certain rePalli,
to the lunatic's property. The Master's report was mire,
in the lifetime of the lunatic, but by some omission fla
application had been made to the Court before the present
to have it confirme I. The lunatic died in October la°
All the parties now consented to the confirmation. The
repairs were estimated to amount to 2001.
The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed a difficulty i 1
making the order, now that the lunatic was dead ; bosv'
ever; the order of reference having been made in the lit,
time, the Master having reported before the death that 1'
would be proper to expend the motley in the way 110
sought, and all interested parties consenting; he thought bs
might direct the confirtnation.—Report confirmed.

DE BEAUVOIR V. RHODES.
The Court proceeded to hear Counsel in this long lirt"
gated case, upo❑ the settling of the minutes of an order
directing the trial of certain issue, which were gone into
at considerable length.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

HULME V. HULME.

This was a bill filed for the purpose of having a deed of
settlement executed on the marriage of two of the de'
fondants, James Hulme and Eleanor his wife, established,
and the trusts of it carried into execution, and that the
sale which had taken place of the trust estate, situate 81
Croydon, and the transfer of a sum of 8691. Bank §toetl
to which the plaintiffs, the children, were interested i°
remainder, might he declared to have been frauduleoto
and that the trustees might he ordered to replace the funds
and have the estate reconveyed for the benefit of the
plaintiffs.

The stock having been placed in the names of tvf°
trustees, the deed of settlement contained a provision to
case either of them refused to act, that the parents should
have the power of nominating another. One of the
defendants, named Powell, had been appointed by tbt
husband with the concurrence of the wife, and in,'
med iately afterwards he sold out the stock, and
handed it over to the husband, who had applied the fund,'
to his own use, and had since become insolvent. One of
the objects of the bill was to recover the sum from Powell,
in consequence of this breach of trust. Powell repre•
sented himself as a sailor, who was altogether igna4
rant of the transaction, or of the effect of what he
had done at the suggestion of Hahne, the husband ;
that part of the settlement which had contained the ar
pointment of Powell as trustee, had, it appeared, been
mutilated, and the evidence of the solicitor who had pre'
pared the deed afforded the inference that it had been
done for the purpose of concealing the part which Powell
had taken in the transaction. There was however au
endorsement on another part of it, which proved his ar
pointment as trustee of the trust property. The pur-
chaser of the real estate, situate at Croydon, had proved
the payment of an adequate consideration without trusta
of the deed of settlement, and consequently no relief could
be had against him.

The hearing of the case occupied the greater part of the
morning, and was not finished when our reporter left.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

EARL PORTSMOUTH U. LORD GRANTLEY.
Sir EDWARD SUGDEN stated that this case came before
the Court upon a bill filed, in consequence of the lunal,
of the Earl of Portsmouth, and also in consequence 01
what had taken place in the Ecclesiastical Court, declaring
the marriage of that Noble Lord void ; praying for the
delivering up of the deed entered into at that period, for
the purpose of being cancelled. The Learned Counsel
believed the defendant did not object to the prayer of the
bill being complied with, provided they had their costs.
Mr. SPURRIER, who appeared for the defendant, con-
firmed the latter part of Sir Edward Sugden's statement.
His HONOUR ordered his client's costs to be paid out of
the estates.

Mr. STEWART was afraid the Court could not make the
decree asked, as all necessary parties were not before the
Court, Lady Portsmouth nut having been made a party.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR did not see the necessity
of making Lady Portsmouth a party ; the bill was
filed after the declaration of the Ecclesiastical COO
that no marriage had taken place, any Miss, therefore,
who walked in Drury-lane, might as well have been made
a party as Lady Portsmouth.
Mr. STEWART submitted that his client was entitled to
costs as between solicitor and client.

The Vwx-CHANCELLOR said the Court never gave
partite costs as between solicitor and client, except in cases
where there was a fund over which the Court had domi.
nion, which it had not in the present case.

ATTORNEY -GENERAL V. SHORE.-LADY lIEWLEY.S

CHARITY.

This ca.e came before the Court, upon an in-
formation filed by the Attorney-General, at the rela-
tion of a Mr. Thomas Wilson, and several other persons,
praying that it might be declared that ministers or prtach-
ers professing Unitarian principles and doctrines, their Wi-
dows or any member of such congregation were not fit objects
of Dame Sarah Hewley's charity ; that exhibitions to the
Manchester Unitarian College were inconsistent with her
intentions ; that the allowance of 80/. a year to the Rev-
C. Wellbeloved, minister of St. Saviour's Gate Chapel, vise
not chargeable on the charity estates, and the information
also prayed the removal of the trustees.

Lady Hewley, the wife of Sir John Hewley, formed,'
one of the representatives of York, who professed trinitv
rian principles, and attended St. Saviour's-Gate Chapel, in
Manchester, then a trinitarian chapel, by deed dated to
1704, gave estates in Yorkshire, of the value of 3,0001., to
trustees, in the first place for providing relief for poor and
godly preachers of Christ's holy gospel; 2d, for the sustenance
of the widows of poor and godly persons ; thirdly, for the
encouragement of preaching the Holy Gospel; and 4thlyr
for relieving such godly persons as the trustees might
think fit and proper ohjects of the charity, always making
persons residing in Yorkshire the primary objects of the
charity. From the statements of the information, it appeared
that the funds of the charity from the time of its founda-
tMn down to MG, were always applied to object. profess-
ing Trinitarian principles, that Dr. Collier and Mr. Hoihans,
who were the ministers of St. Saviour's Gate Chapel, pro-
fessed and inculc ited Trinitarian principles, and that it was
not till a person of the name of Camp was appointed minis-
ter of the chapel that Unitarian principles were put forth. Mr.
Wellbeloved succeeded Mr. Camp, who died in 1801, and
he continued to preach, as his predecessor had done,Unitariatt
doctrines. This, the relators contended, was inconsistent
with the intentions of the benevolent and religious founder,
who evidently meant that the objects of her bounty were
to profess Trinitarian principles. The trustees, who pro-
fessed Unitarian principles, in addition to paying 801. a
year to the Rev. Mr. Wellbel9ved, had applied other
funds of the charity to the relief of poor Unitarian clergy-
men and their widows, and had placed persons professing
Unitarian doctrines in the alms houses founded by Lady
He w ley.

Sir.EDWARD SUGDEN, on behalf of the relations, was
addressing the Court when our reporter left, contending
that from the will, and course of conduct pursued by
Lady Hewley, her intention was not to confer any benefit
on persons professing Unitarian doctrines.

the defendants, by their answer, denied the profession
of Unitarian principles, and submitted that they were
entitled to the bounty of the Founder.

Several eminent dissenting divines were present in Court
the whole of the morning. The case appears likely to
occupy the Court a day or two.

The fact which we announced yesterday, of
the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to give the utmost
possible opposition to the treaty lately entered into between
Russia and the Porte for the closing of the Dardanelles at
the pleasure of the former, we can now confirm as a matter
of which no doubt need be entertained. We have it from a
source on which we can rely with the most perfect con-
fidence. At the same time, notwithstanding the preparations
of Russia, we have not the slightest idea that she will either
dare to encourage the Poi te in opposing the passage of a
British fleet, or aid her in any endeavour of the kind.--

by the road from Sorbiers. A carriage was but a feW
paces from the spot when the earth sunk in this frightful
manner. Fortunately it occurred in the day-time, or, as
the road is so much frequented, many passengers might
have fallen in, and been no more heard of, as the gulf
was filled with water to the depth of 40 feet."
