THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The only arrivals this morning are the French mail and the
:Mexican packet. By the former we have letters from
Madrrl to the Bth inst., stating that great importance was at-
tached in that capital to the measures taken by General Llan-
der, and several councils were held on the subject, but no deci-
sive measures had been adopted at the above date. The above
letter also confirms that General Quesada and the other Captains
General agree with Llander. M. Burgos and Zea have be-
come very unpopular in the above capital.
M. Remiss has been sent to Catalogna to try to adjust the
difficulties.

A Russian officer has arrived by express at Paris, bringing
interesting news to M. Pozzo di Borgo, for the French Go-
vernment

The Sheldrake has arrived from Mexico. She left Tampico
011 the 28th November, Vera Cruz on the Bth, and Havannah on
the 19th December. At the time of her sailing the country
was in a quiet state. General St. Anna was in the city of
Mexico, and orders had been issued to expel the heads of the
revolntionary party from the country. The abol e vessel has
brought 800,000 dollars, 60,000 of which are from the Real del
Monte mines ; 5,000 dollars towards paying the dividends, and
the rest on merchants' account. His Majesty's schooner Nim-
ble was at the Havannah with a prize, which she took at the Isle
°I-Pines, with 400 slaves on board. The Sheldrake spoke the
Lady. Pelham on the Sth December, going into Vera Cruz.
The
Lady Pelham, and several succeeding packets, will have
brought
cargoes of bullion, as above 2,000,000 dollars have been
down to the coast for shipment. The Balonas miners
had cut a very rich lode

FALSIOUTH, JAN. 16.

" This forenoon his Majesty's packet Sheldrake arrived from
Tampico—she sailed from Tampico on the 2Sth November—
Vera Cruz on the Sth December, and the Havannah on the
19th. The country, after the late civil commotions, was en-
joying peace. Santa Anna was in the city of Mexico, and had
solicited the Congress to grant him six months' leave to re-
cruit his health ; the duties of office, in his absence, was to
devolve on Gomez Farias, the newly-elected Vice-President—
a man stated to be most assiduous in business, and highly
adapb)itto discharge the functions of the office. The Congress
were sitting, and had begun to act on the extraordinary powers
with which they were invested. All the monastic establishments
and nunneries in the Republic were t,, be broken up, and their
riches to become the property ol the Government. Tithes were
abolished, and a freedom of religious tenets sanctioned. The
Ex-President, Bustamenti, and Generals Adrade, Arista, and
Duran, were close prisoners at Vera Cruz, and were to be
expelled the country ; it was expected they would be sent to
the United States. The packet brings 850,000 dollars on
freight, partly in gold-60,000 of which are from the Bolanos
Mining Company, and 5,000 from the Mexican dividends; the
residue on merchants' account. Two millions of dollars were
at Vera Cruz ready for shipment, and 800,000 dollars more
were expected from the interior, but a very small portion of it
was understood to be on merchants' account.

The army was being organised, and the establishment of a
civic power to preserve the peace of the Republic was contem-
plated. The country was very healthy, and trade throughout
had considerably revived. The news from the Mining Depart-
ments represented the Bolanos as continuing very rich ; and
the report was, that the Real del Monte was likely to yield
profits.
On the 17th December his Majesty's schooner Nimble,
Lieut. Bolton, arrived at the Havannal►, having in her posses.
sion as a prize a schooner, with 480 slaves; she succeeded on
the 7th in capturing her, after an action of 234 hours.

On the 19th December his Majesty's schooner Jackdaw also
arrived at the Havannah, from New Providence.

The Lady Mary Pelham packet was seen by the Sheldrake
going into Vera Cruz on the Bth of December. It was thought
she would bring home the next quantity of specie.

Throughout the night here it blew a heavy gale of wind
from the S. and S.W., and now continues.

His Majesty's steamer Col:fiance, for Lisbon, and his
Majesty's packet Lyra, for the Brazils, which sailed yesterday
morning, have both been compelled again to put back.
The Royal William, Pedroite steamer, with 500 Belgian
troops for the service of Donna Maria in Portugal, still re.
mains waiting from weather to proceed.

NEW RULES for the REGULATION of the
PRACTICE in the COMMON LAW COURTS.

REGUL/E GENER ALES.
HILARY TERM, 4TR WILLIAM IV., 1834.

It is ordered, that from and after the Ist day of Easter Term
next inclusive, the following rules shall be in force in the
Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer of
Pleas and Courts of Error, in the Exchequer-Chamber.

1. No demurrer nor any pleading subsequent to the decla.
ration shall in any case be filed with any officer of the court,
but shall always be delivered between the parties.

2. In the margin of every demurrer, before it is signed by
counsel, some matter of law intended to be argued shall be
stated ; and if any demurrer shall be delivered without such
statement, or with a frivolous statement, it may be set aside as
irregular, by the Court or a Judge, and leave may be given to
sign judgment, as for want of a plea.
Provided that the party demurring may at the time of the
argument insist upon any further matters of law, of which
notice shall have been given to the Court in the usual way.
3. No rule for joinder in demurrer shall be required, but the
party demurring may demand a joinder in demurrer, and the
opposite party shall be bound within four days after such de.
mand to deliver the same, otherwise judgment.
4. To a joinder in demurrer no signature of a sergeant or
other counsel shall be necessary, or any fee allowed in respect
thereof.

5. The issue, or demurrer.book, shall on all occasions be
made up by the suitor, or his attorney or agent, as the case
may be, and not, as heretofore, by any officer of the Court.
6. No motion or rule for a concilium shall be required; but
demurrers, as well as all special cases and special verdicts,
shall be set down for argument at the request of either party,
with the clerk of the rules in the King's Bench and Exchequer,
and a secondary in the Common Pleas, upon payment of a tee
of Is., and notice thereof shall be given forthwith by such party
to the opposite party.

7. Four clear days before the day appointed for argument
the plaintiff shall deliver copies of the demurrer book, special
case, or special verdict, to the Lord Chief Justice cf the King's
Bench or Common Pleas, or Lord Chief Baron, as the case may
be, and the senior Judge of the Court in which the action is
brought; and the defendant shall deliver copies to the other
two Judges of the Court next in seniority; and in default
thereof by either party, the other party may, on the day fol-
lowing, deliver such copies as ought to have been so delivered
by the party making default ; and the party making default
shall not be heard until he shall have paid for such copies, or
deposited with the clerk of the rules in the King's Bench and
Exchequer, or the secondary in the Common Pleas, as the case
may be, a sufficient sum to pay for such copies.
S. Where a defendant shall plead a plea of judgment reco-
vered in another Court, he shall in the margin of such plea
state the date of such judgment, and if such judgment shall be
in a Court of Record, the number of the roll on which such
proceedings are entered, if any ; and in default of his so doing,
the plaintiff shall be at liberty to sign judgment, as for want
of a plea; and in case the same be falsely stated by the defen-
dant, the plaintiff, on producing a certificate from the proper
officer or person having the custody of the records or proceed-
ings of the Court where such judgment is allowed to have been
recovered, that there is no such record or entry of a judgment
as therein stated, shall be at liberty to sign judgment, as for
want of a plea, by leave of the Court, or a Judge.
9. No writ of error shall be a supersedeas of execution until
service of the notice of the allowance thereof, containing a
statement of some particular ground of error intended to be
argued.

to be frivolous, the Court or a Judge upon summons may order
execution to issue.

10. No rule to certify or transcribe the record shall be ne-
cessary ; but the plaintiff in error shall, within 20 days after
the allowance of the writ of error, get the transcript prepared
and examined with the clerk of the errors of the Court in which
the judgment is given, and pay the transcript money to him :
in default whereof, the defendant in error, his executors or
administrators, shall be at liberty to sign judgment of non
pros. The clerk of the errors shall, after the payment of the
transcript-money, deliver the writ of error when returnable,
with the transcript annexed, to the clerk of the errors of the
Court of Error.

11. No rule to allege diminution, nor rule to assign errors,
nor scirefacias quare executionem non, shall be necessary, in
order to compel an assignment of errors, but within eight days
after the writ of error, with the transcript annexed, shall
have been delivered to the clerk of the errors of the Court
of Error, or to the signer of the writs in the King's Bench
in cases of error to that Court, or within 20 days after the
allowance of the writ of error in cases of error coranz nobis, or
coram vobis, the plaintiff in error shall assign errors, and in
failure to assign errors, the defendant in error, his executors
or administrators, shall be entitled to sign judgment of non
pros.

12. The assignment of errors and subsequent pleadings
thereon shall be delivered to the attorney of the opposite
party, and not filed with any officer of the Court.

13. No scire facias ad audiendusn errores shall be neces-
sary (unless in case of a change of parties), but the plaintiff in
error may demand a joitufbr in error, or plead to the assign-
ment of errors; and the defendant in error, his executors or
administrators, shall be bound, within 20 days after such de-
mand, to deilver a joinder or plea, or to demur, otherwise the
judgment shall be reversed.
Provided, that if in any case the time allowed, as herein-
before mentioned, for getting the transcript prepared and ex-
amined, for assigning errors, or for delivering a joinder in
error, or plea, or demurrer, shall not have expired before the
10th day of August in any year, the party entitled to such
time shall have the like time for the same purpose, after the
24th day of October, without reckoning any of the days before
the 12th of August.
Provided also, that in all eases such time may be extended
by a Judge's order.
Provided also, that in all cases of writs of error to reverse
fines and common recoveries, a scirefacias to the terre-tenants
shall issue as heretofore.

GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, JAN. is silent respecting the East. The
French Ambassador has despatched a courier to Paris, proba-
bly in consequence of the last accounts from Constantinople,
which announced the departure of the English and French
squadrons. The tone of the English journals is indeed very
warlike, but nobody is deceived by this; for the aversion of
the English nation to a war is well known. The Funds are
rising. The negotiations respecting Belgium seem to be pro-
ceeding, and it is hoped that by the serious intervention of the
Powers they will at length be brought to a conclusion. Count
Lalaing, Belgian Charge de Affaires here, is said to have re-
ceived another appointment. Count Belle-Brake, the Danish
Secretary of Legation, is going in the same capacity to St.
Petersburgh.
The war in Portugal seems to be far from a desperate result,
both parties making great efforts to continue it. It had been
hoped that the conflicting interests might be reconciled by a
marriage, but it appears that the project has been defeated by
the distrust which the Pedroites as well as' the Miguelites en-
tertain of the English, and which was very clearly manifested
on this occasion.

VIENNA, JAN. 7.—Five per Cent. Metalliques 94 % ; Four
per Cents. 84 % ; Bank Shares 1,235%.
(On the 6th, which was a holiday, a report being spread that
his Majesty the Emperor was indisposed, the bank shares
fell in some private transactions to 1,224, but the report having
been found to be false, they rose again in the course of the day
to 1,232.)-2111gemeine Zeitung, Jan. 12.
BERLIN, JAN. 6.—The English Government has applied to
our Cabinet to urge the collateral branches of the house of
Nassau to consent to the session of Luxemburg, for the purpose
of bringing the differences between Holland and Belgium to a
settlement; and it is very probable that steps, tending to this
object, will be taken shortly either at Vienna or elsewhere. It
is said that, in the meantime, the Prince of Orange will be en-
deavouring to induce the Emperor Nicholas to assume a firmer
tone with France and England with respect to the Dutch and
Belgian question ; and if the present attitude assumed by France
and England towards Russia be considered, it is not unlikely
the Prince may succeed. Our plenipotentiary to the conference
at London, is expected here. Our position with respect to
Belgium has not yet assumed a decided character. Every
thing, indeed, seems to indicate that the arrangement of the
affairs of the two divisions of the Kingdom of the Nether-
lands is not yet approaching to a conclusion. The more and
more evident delay in the opening of the Ministerial conferences
at Vienna, may be attributed to the fact that a certain great
Northern Court does not coincide with the views of the Ger-
man powers in several matters to be discussed and arranged.
Bat it is added that our Court is charged with the task of re-
conciling these differences of opinion; and though this may
last some time, it cannot be doubted that the negotiation will be
with success. As the Congress, independent of discussing the
means of maintaining the monarchical principle, may have to
occupy itself with other questions, which, like that relating to
Luxemburg, are important to all the continental Powers, it
may be easily conceived that, without compromising the inde-
pendence of the Germanic Confederation, the opinions of the
great Powers, who do not form part of the Confederation, will
be treated with great attention and respect.—SuabianMercury.
