THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning arc of a very meagre description,
only one French and Flanders mail. No ship letters have
come to hand.

THE FUNDS.
Consols left off yesterday at 91i for the Account, opened at
the same price this morning, with little or nothing doing at
present. Exchequer Bills, 25 27 ; India Bonds, 7 9 premium ;
India Stock, 260 1 ; Bank Stock, 216 4.
The Foreign market in the course of yesterday was buoyant,
aad left off with improved prices, but this morning it is not so
good, owing to the prices coming lower from Paris, it being
settling day there, and several reports circulated, no doubt for
stock jobbing purposes, of unfavourable accounts from Spain,
which caused the decline of one per cent. in Spanish Stock in
the above capital.
Spanish, which left offycsterday at 41 45 opened at 441, at
present are 441 ; Spanish Scrip, which left off at 14 13
discount, opened at 141 14 discount ;, Portuguese, which left
off at 851, 86, opened at 85 86 ; Columbian, 36, ;
Mexican, 36, 37.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange again assembled
yesterday, and after their deliberations declared one more
defaulter.

Money still continues secure, although it is reported that
the Bank has advanced a large sum to a certain City Ca•
pitalist, who, no doubt, knows how to make good use of it.
The Bankers arc still shy in discounting of good bills.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Up to the present hour we have no further continental arri-
vals, but a report prevails that the siege of Bilboa has been
raised. The late telegraphic despatch received this morning
must do away with the above report.
Since the early part of the morning both the British and Fo-
reign Niarkets have decidedly improved. Consols, which were
in the morning at 911 for the Account, may be quoted at pre-
sent 91i 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 25 28 ; India Bonds, 7 9 pre-
mium ; India Stock, 260 ; Bank Stock, 215
.1.
In the foreign market, Spanish which was 44 4, is at pre-
sent 45 ; Spanish Scrip improved from 141 to 131 discount ;
Portuguese, from 851 to 891 ; Columbian, 361 ; Mexican,
3617.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

COHEN V. PALMER AND WIFE.

Mr. PLATT stated the case. It was an action for slanderous
words used by Edith Palmer, the wife of a broker, residing in
\Valworth-row, and reflecting upon the character of a Jew
broker named Elias Cohen, of Duke's-place, Aldgz..te. The
parties were attending a sale of furniture on the 16th Sept.
last, at Guilford-place, Kennington, and some altercation or
dispute having taken place respecting the bidding for a chest
of drawers, the defendant, Mrs. Palmer, said, " You are a
common thief." Sampson Cohen, who was standing in that
part of the room to which she directed her voice, said, " Do
you mean me, Ma'am ?" Defendant replied, "No ; I don't
mean you, but Black Cohen, who 'stands beside you." The
plaintiff, Elias Cohen, to whom she alluded, said, " You
really don't mean me?" Defendant replied, " Yes, for
I caught your hand in my pocket, attempting to pick
it, at a sale at Brixton-row." The defendant having
refused to retract these words, the present action was
brought. After last Hilary Term, the plaintiff's attorney
wrote to the defendant, stating, that if the costs were paid and
an apology made proceedings would be stayed, and the de-
fendant's attorney on the 21st of March wrote an answer,
stating that Mrs. Palmer declined to accede to any arrange-
ment unless the costs were paid. She persisted in the slander,
and had put forth upon the record a justification, stating that
she would prove her accusation true. That he was satisfied
she could not prove, and it would be for the Jury to. say, after
the forbearance the plaintiff had shown, and after the reitera-
tion of the charge by the defendant, what damages they would
award for the injury that had been inflicted upon the plaintiff's
character.

Sampson Cohen, a Jew broker, and cousin to the plaintiff,
proved the fact of the words having been used by the defendant
towards the plaintiff. The plaintiff had not taken any part in
the altercation till Mrs. Palmer addressed him.
Cross-examined by Sergeant STORKES-The beginning of
the affray was some person calling Joseph Simpson, who was
selling beside Mrs. Palmer, a common robbei% Does not
know who called the. name, but it was not plaintiff. A great
deal of abuse and rioting takes place at these sales. Simp-
son is a commission-broker, and is in the habit of charging
a gentleman 251. for what is not worth 201.

Mr. Sergeant STORKES addressed the Jury for the defendant.
The Learned Counsel for the plaintiff had commenced by
sending all his witnesses out of Court, and having, by means
of one witness, got over the bar, he has left all the other
witnesses standing outside, with all the Duke's-place anxiety
and all the Jewish anticipations of getting a Christian verdict
of a few shillings. The one witness called had, with a really
Jewish spirit, uttered a deliberate slander against a person
whom he supposed might be called as a witness. The words
charged in the indictment were made use of in a place where
low Jews and Christians were " higgledy piggledy" bidding
against each other, and the witness smiled when he had
attacked another man's character, and laughed when he said
there were a great many assaults committed at such places.
The low ribaldry which was used as the intelligible local
epithets of such places, was not a proper subject for the de-
cision of a Court of Justice, and he should prove that the
charge of attempting to pick pockets had been on a former
occasion brought against the plaintiff, and that he bad tamely
submitted to it.

Joseph Simpson, a broker, Joseph Inche, an auctioneer and
furniture broker, and Wakefield, a broker, svere examined for
the defendant. Their evidence was to the effect, that on the
18th June, 1832, at a sale in Brixton, the defendant had
charged the plaintiff with attempting to pick her pocket, and
that plaintiff had said nothing to the charge, but abused the
defendant very grossly.
The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages one farthing.

HORSE R4CING AT HAMBURG.

(From the Morning Herald.)
Hamburg is about to witness a memorable epoch in her his-
tory, no less than the first bona fide horse race ever seen in her
immediate vicinity. The 11th and the 20th July are the days
fixed. Nine heats are advertised, and several additional pri-
vate matches, it is expected, will be arranged.
The ffrst idea of the race was started by some of our English
residents, but being most of them engaged in business, they ap-
pear to have been too much occupied to take any part in the
active management. For some time the whole affair seemed
likely to fall to the ground, through the want of hands able or
willing to direct it. - This difficulty has now, however, been
got over. His Serene Highness, the Duke of Scheswig Holstein,
Sonderburg Augustenburg has undertakers the direction,
Count Von Hohner has been induced to act as Secretary, and
a Committee of Hamburg gentlemen have agreed to arrange
preliminary details.
The race-course is at Wandsbeck, a pretty village about an
English mile from Hamburg. As the first Hamburg race is an
event in its way, I subjoin the list of the heats to be run :
FIRST DAY.

Ist —A distance of 4,000 ells*, for all horses of three
years old, born (foaled) on the Continent.—Prize, 400 specie
dollars (001.)
2d.—A distance of 6,000 ells, for horses of every age, born
on the Continent.—Prizes, Ist horse, 600 specie dollars; 2d
horse, 200 ditto.
33.—A distance of 5,000 ells, for half blood horses, of
three and four years old, born on the Continent.—Prize, 400
specie dollars.
4th.—A distance of 6.000 'ells, for full blood horses of
every country.—Prize, a silver cup, given by an association of
ladies.

sth.—A distance of 5,209 ells, being a sweepstakes, open
for all half blood horses born on the Continent, of not less
than three years old.
SECOND DAY.

6th.—A distance of 4,000 ells, open to three and four year
old horses of all countries.—Prize, 400 specie dollars.
7th.—A distance of 7,000 ells, for all horses upwards of
three years old, born on the Continent.—Prize, 400 specie
dollars.

Bth.—A distance of 6,000 ells, for all horses upwards of
three years old, of every country.--Prizes, first horse 600
specie dollars ; second horse, 200 ditto.
9th.—A Sweepstakes for the horses of all countries, of
three years old and upwards.
Nos. 4,6, 8, and 9, you will perceive are the only races for
which English horses can be entered but these, it is thought,
will already afford a sufficient attraction to- many amateurs
on your side the water.
The exclusion of English horses from the others is meant, I
suppose, to give some of the Holsteiners a chance of carrying
off one or two of the prizes.
The facilities afforded by the vessels of the General Steam
Navigation Company will, I presume, induce many of our
sporting gentlemen to visit Hamburg on the occasion;, at all
events it is to be hoped, for the honour of the English turf,
that none but an English horse will be allowed, at the first
Hamburg race, to carry away any of the prizes open to general
competition.
2,840 Hamburg ells equal one English miles.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Last Tuesday evening, Mr.
East, of Bexley, Kent, was found dead in the high-road, be-
tween Dartford and Crayford. It is conjectured that he was
thrown from his horse, or that he fell down dead in a fit. :He
had retired from business, and occupied a country cottage,
only about a year before his sudden decease.
SUDDEN DEAT4. —On Monday evening, Mr.
Roberts, of Guernsey, was found dead in one of his fields.
He had been there all day weeding parsnips; and his family
observing that he tarried later than usual, went out to ascer-
tain the cause, when ths) found him lying dead on the ground,
weltering in a large quantity of blood, which had issued from
his mouth.—Jersey Arqus.
During the storm which commenced about midnight
on Wednesday last, and continued until eight o'clock the fol-
lowing morning, several accidents occurred to the shipping at
and near Spurn..—Hull Observer.
