THE FUNDS.

The letters by the French mail, having arrived late, are not
yet delivered, nor the information by the express published ;
consequently we have no political intelligence to communicate
as yet.

Two vessels have arrived at Liverpool from Lisbon, but we
believe they are of old dates.

Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 891 I

HALF-PAST ONE.
In respect to political information or reports, we have none
up to the present hour.
The public are anxiously waiting for the disclosure of the
budget tomorrow; and it is the general opinion that they will
be much disappointed if Ministers do not take off the whole
of the assessed taxes, but their intentions are still a secret in
the City.
The next information from Portugal is expected to be of
great importance, as different opinions prevail in respect to
Don Miguel's evacuating Santarem.
Consols have clintinued steady during the morning, at 89

CLOCKS, AN IRISH INVENTION.—At a
Society established in St. Giles's parish lately, " for the
,borough discussion of all questions whatsomdevet," a
ve,tion arose as to what nation bad the honour of in-
venting clocks, and several menibers delivered their opi-
nions thereupon as lengthily as though they were members
of the Collective Wisdom. Some attributed the invention
0 one nation, and others to another, when an Irish mem-
ber got upon his legs, and said, " Gentlemen, I'll tell you
what it is; there Leeds no bother about it at all, for the
very name of it speaks for itself as plain as the nose in
the President's countenance, and says, ' Faith then I'm
invented by them fine ould ancient Irish, and, in token,
from that day to this, dotso't every body in speaking of
ine say O'clock, just in the way as every body says
O'Connell ?' "

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

QUEEN OF SPAIN V. MENDIZABEL.

. ...
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved on behalf of the plaintiff, that
the order made in the first cause in this case (the King of
Spain v. Mendizabel) and pronounced on the Ist of December
last by his Lordship, against which it was the intention of her
Catholic Majesty to appeal to the House of Lords, in any event
might be directed to be entitled in both causes.

Sir E. SUDDEN, after explaining some point on which he con-
ceived he had been misunderstood on the former occasion,
said he meant to save the Attorney-General the trouble of
going into his motion, because, upon the understanding that
there was to be no demurrer, and that his Lordship meant to
have pronounced his order in both causes, he withdrew his op-
position to the present motion, but did not consent.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then stated that his motion was
before the Court as an unopposed application, and upon which
he was entitled to succeed.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said he granted the motion, but as
there had been no arguments raised before him he gave no opi-
nion upon any point—he merely granted the motion as prayed.

BLAKEMORE V. GLA.MORGANSHIRE CANAL COMPANY.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the parties in this long
litigated cause were once more in Court. The plaintiff had
brought an action against the defendants which they were de-
sirous of restraining him from proceeding with, but he (the
Learned Counsel) only mentioned the case at present for the
purpose of saving his motion on behalf of the Company till the
next seal.
Mr. PEPYS said that of course Isis Learned Friend was at
lib,.!rty to serve his notice, but the defennts would under-
stand that the plaintiff' meant to proceed jusda tas there had
been no mention of such a case as this in Court to.day.
The LORD CHANCELLOR-4 am very sorry to hear the name
of that case again—that's the only feeling I have on the sub.
ject. I thought the thing had been settled.
MACKINNON V. SHARP.
Mr. PEPYs moved that an order, granted cx parte by his
Honour tbeVice-Chancellor, whereby the defendant Mr. Sharp,
as one of the personal representatives of the testatrix men-
tioned in the pleadings, was enjoined from receiving the inte-
rest, dividends, rents, and profits of the property of the
testatrix, might be discharged. This case was litigated in the

ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE ROWNDELL'S CHARITY.

This was the petition of the overseers and churchwardens of
the parish of Bilton-cum-Harrowgate, in the county of York,
praying for a reference to the Master, to ascertain the amount
due to the charity from Mr. Rowndell, a gentleman of high cha.
racter and fortune in that county; and also for a scheme for
the future regulation of the charity.
From the statements in the petition it appeared, that the
great grandfather of Mr. Rowndell charged certain estates, of
which he was then possessed, in the county of York, with the
payment of 2/. annually, to be distributed among the poor
inhabitants of the parish of Scriven-cum-Tenterden, who had
not received parochial relief. He had also charged the estates
with a similar sum, for the poor of Bilton-cum-Harrowgate,
leaving it to the discretion of the owner of the land for the
time being, and the churchwardens and overseers of each pa-
rish, to select proper objects for the charity. Mr. Rowndell,
since he had become possessed of the property, had regularly
paid the 2/. annually to the parish of Scriven-cum-Tenterden,
up to the present time, but he had discontinued the payment to
Bilton-cum-Harrovegaie, in consequence, as he stated, of the
churchwardens and overseers of that parish having expressed
themselves dissatisfied with his intrusting the distribution of
the fund to a shopkeeper in Harrowgate, insisting that they had
the exclusive right to that distribution.
Mr. MONRO appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. SAIRROW
for the respondent, Mr. Rowndell.
The MASTER of the ROLLS considered it perfectly clear,
from the evidence that had been adduced, that Mr Rowndell
had altogether mistaken his authority, and the course that he
was bound to pursue. He had considered himself above com-
municating with the churchwardens and overseers ; that was
directly contrary to the will of his great-grandfather, who
had expressly stated, that the discretion in the selection
of fit objects of the charity should be in the owner of the
estate and the churchwardens and overseers Mr. Rowndell
having considered himself in too high a situation of life to
confer with those gentlemen, the Court would refer it to the
Master to inquire what was due from the period at which Mr.
Rowndell had discontinued his payments to the charity ; but
although the Court considered the course pursued by Mr.
Rowndell, in distributing the charity fund,through his agent at
Harrowgate, improper and irregular, yet as that distribution had
been made to the poor, the Court would not direct the Master
to take that into account. In addition, the Court would declare
that the future distribution of the charity fund, due from Mr.
Rowndell, was to be made at the discretion of himself, together
with the churchwardens and overseers. NVith respect to the
scheme, the sum was too small to incur the expense of such a
proceeding, but in future if the money was not properly applied
the Court would saddle Mr. Rowndell with the costs of the pre-
sent and all future applications.

VICE•CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.

This being the first seal after Hilary Term, his Honour the
VICE.•CUANCELLOR sat at Lincoln's Inn, and took motions to-
day. Nothing of any public importance occurred.
