THE FUNDS.

This day, at a quarter to four o'clock, is the fixed time for
the put and call to take place, and tomorrow is settling day in
Consols, consequently, up to the present time there is little or
nothing doing in the Consol Market. Consols, which left off
yesterday at 89 j % for the Account, opened at 89 .4 buyers,
at which price they are at present.

In the Foreign Market, Brazil Stock has improved about 1
per cent ; this may be attributed to most part of the dividend
for the above Stock having been received. The other Foreign
Quotations may be quoted at the leaving off prices of yesterday.
HALF-PAST ONE.

We are very dull in the City for want of political intelligence.
It is stated that new proposals are going to be made to Don
Miguel, that if he consents to leave Portugal, England and
France will guarantee to him an annual income, with several
of his estates.

Consols have continued during the whole of the morning at
89 14 Y. for account, with little doing.
The Foreign Market also remains firm. Portuguese Stock
has improved to 691;j. The other securities may be quoted at
yesterday's prices,
No fresh arrivals.

BARON BAYLEY.—Notwithstanding the
contrary rumours which have existed fur some weeks past,
there is, we believe, now no doubt but this venerable and
excellent Judge retires at the close of the present term ;
and that though he is nominally appointed to the Western
Circuit, its duties will be performed by his successor.
Who that successor will be is not at present the least
known. Among those named are, Sir William Horne,
Mr. Coltman, K.C., Mr. Evans, and Mr. Starkey.
The Attorney-General, it is said, has no wish for the ap-
pointment.
The late regretted Lady Lyndhurst was for
many years distinguished in the circles of ton for her
eminent personal charms and fascinating manners. Her
Ladyship's splendid soirees at the mansion in George-
street, Hanover-square, during the brief chancellorship of
her noble husband, were attended by the elite of the beau
monde. After the change of administration Lord and
Lady Lyndhurst removed to a smaller residence on Hyde
Park-terrace. Her Ladyship has left three daughters of
tender years to lament her premature decease, namely, the
Finn. Strait Elizabeth Copley, born the 16th of March,
1821 ; the Hon. Susan Penelope, born the 23d of July,
1822 : and another daughter, born the 15th of April,
1828. Her Ladyship, as the widow of Colonel Thomas,
had the usual Government pension.
JUNIUS.—It is now said that the secret of
Junius rests with Lord Nugent ! 'Who next?
It would seem as if St. Swithin had this
season transferred the annual period of his reign (rain)
from Midsummer to Christmas.

The trade of Paisley still continues in a
flourishing state, and rather to improve than otherwise, work
continues abundant, for all classes of weavers, and for
tradesmen of every other description. In weaving of
covered work in particular, prices have improved conli.
derably of late. Trimming weavers are very much in
demand at present, and engagements at this description
of work, are readily procured at 2s. per cover for sixteen
hundreds, and the other numbers in proportion, being an
advance of about 30 per cent. above the table price, and
a higher rate than has been paid for several years past.
Women's work is also plentiful and as well paid as it has
been far some years past, and we have beard of the novel
circumstance of the sewers in one warehouse having struck
work within the last two days for an advance of prices.—

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN THE MATTER OF GOLDSMITH, A LUNATIC.

Mr. BLUNT stated that he had obtained an order of reference
to the Master upon various matters in this lunacy, one of which
contained an inquiry as to what debts were owing by the lunatic.
It turned out that the lunatic owed nothing, and therefore the
parties engaged in prosecuting the inquiry were desirous of
having this part of the reference expunged, with a view to save
unnecessary expense.

The LORD CHANCELLOR asked how it appeared there were no
debts, and if the lunatic's property was small ?
Mr. BLUNT said, it only appeared, by the statement of the
parties acquainted with the lunatic's affairs, that there were no
debts, and that the property was very considerable.
The LORD CHANCELLOR refused the application. He was of
opinion, that, under the circumstances, the safe way of proceed-
ing would be to adhere to the regular practice.

KEPPEI.L V. BAILEY.

Mr. LYNCH commenced his argument for the defence in this
motion, which was not concluded yesterday.
