The attempt to open a passage through the ice into the harbour
of Baltimore, by the aid of steam-boats, did not succeed.
Several outward-bound vessels, by taking advantage of a favour.
able opportunity, got to sea.
THE FUNDS.
We have no arrivals of consequence as yet, and we must now
wait to hear the result of Count Orlors mission to the King of
Holland. By all we can learn, and by a gentleman who has lately
arrived from Amsterdam, the King and the Dutch nation con.
tinue in the same obstinacy as before ; and it is expected that the
King of Holland will propose to the Russian Envoy, some modi-
fications in the treaty, and that Count Orloff will be the bearer
of them to this country ; this may cause another procastinated
negotiation.
At present we have no further information in regard to the
progress of the cholera morbus, and it is generally thought that
the present cold weather will have the effect of preventing it
spreading. The alarm in the city is not so great as when it was
first communicated to the public, as every precaution is taken to
counteract the evil.
In the House of Commons last night an interesting discussion
took place respecting the Irish tithes. Mr. Stanley announced
his intention to propose a measure for the extinction of the Irish
tithes, which no doubt will meet with great satisfaction in Ireland.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 823 i for the Account,
opened at S 9. afterwards were done at 8:24 ;at present they
are 821,4 sellers, with little doing. The speculators are waiting
to hear the French prices.
In the Foreign Market it is settling day, and all is going off
well at present.

Health.

COURT OF ADMIRALTY.-(THIS DAY.)

THE COGNAC JUDGMENT.

This was an important question relative to the rate of
premium charge d on a hottomry band. The Cngnat, a
new ship, proceeded from the part of London in Decem-
ber, 1830, with a general cargo, met with rough weather,
anti put into the Isle of TW, to repair. The charges came
to between 15 and 16.000 francs, a hottomry order was
given for 24,000 francs on the vessel, with a premium of
20 per cent. The vessel arrived in London, and the
charge for premium was oppost d as exorbitant. The
matter was referred to the registrar of merchants, and the
premium was reduced from 20 to 124, per cent. This
decision was appealed against, and the case came before the
Judge of this Courr, for his decision. In the arguments
the jurisdiction of the Court was doubted, the party taking
the bond being a foreigner.
Sir C. ROBINSON gave judgment. He said it appeared
that when this bond was given the money market was in
a bad state, and confidence much lessened, the stare of
France and Europe being also in a very unsettled comb
tion. The parties too were advised that the interest would
he large on the bond. During the war the premium on
hottomry bonds was about 17A per cent. In this case lie
saw no imputation of fraud, collusion, or usurious con-
duct proved, and he could not, therefore, interfere with
the bond. He decided, therefore, against ttte reduction of
the premium from 20 to 12,4 per cent. The other parts
of the appeal, relative to the charges for commission and
wages, were left for agreement.
