EX PARTE HARWOOD IN RE BADGER.

Mr. MoNmou applied to the Court, on behalf of the as.
signees of Badger, for an order to rescind the fiat, and that a
new one might be issued, directed to commissioners at
Bristol under these circumstances. Badger's debts amounted
to 1,5591., of which sum 1,202.1. was owing to seventeen persons
at Bristol, 1601. to persons at Shrewsbury and Buckingham,
and the remaining 1061. to Barnet and Co., button ma-
nufacturers, at Birmingham. On the 14th of March last,
the petitioners, whose debt amounted to 1091., forwarded the
necessary depositions to procure a fiat, directed to commission-
ers at Bristol, but discovered that on the 9.c1 of March, a fiat
had been issued on the petition of Bartlett and Co., directed to
commissioners at Birmingham. The bankrupt had carried
on business at Merthyr Tydvil (which place was only forty
miles from Bristol, and 106 from Birmingham), and was now
confined in Bristol gaol ; the expense of removing him from
which to Birmingham for his examinations, would amount
to nearly 20/. per day. His property was very small,
amounting only to about 2001.
The COURT granted the prayer of the petition ; the costs of
the application, and of renewing the fiat, to be paid out of the
estate.

THE FUNDS.7(THES DAY.)

CITY, TiVELVE O'CLOCK

Recent letters have been received at Paris from Hayti'
stating that a new agent from that Government would soon
take his departure for the French capital, to make a definitive
arrangement with the French Government.
A report prevailed at Antwerp, by letters received there
from Holland, that the King of Holland had assured the
Chamber of Commerce at Amsterdam, that, in a short time,
the Dutch shipping would be authorized to sail under the Rus.
sian flag.
A letter from Trieste, says that the Russian Government
has offered to assist the Viceroy of Egypt with an auxiliary
force of 140,000 men.
Montreal papers to the 28th March, and Quebec to the
24th March, have been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house.
The Quebec papers state, that during the past week the
weather has been unusually mild, and most of the snow has
disappeared. The roads in general are bad.
The House of Assembly holds two sittings a day, and is
busily engaged in the expenses of Government for the current
year. _ .

The Montreal papers say :—" We have read with much
satisfaction the very spirited add: ess of the Legislative Council
of the Upper Province to his Excellency Sir John Colborne,
expressing in the most unqualified language, the impression
which the laboured despatch of Lord Goderich produced upon
its reception by that body. The address concludes in language
the most frank and respectful, with a request that his Excel-
lency will tlansmit it to his Majesty's Secretary of State."
