THE FUNDS.

The only arrivals this morning of consequence are from
Brussels and Antwerp, bringing further particulars re-
specting the surrender of the citadel of the latter place.
They were waiting, with some anxiety, for the answer
from the King of Holland for his refusal or consent to
give up the three remaining forts in the Scheldt, and
upon which some doubts were entertained. We cannot
perceive to what purpose it would answer the King of
Holland to retain these forts, as he must wage the war
single handed, and, sooner or later, they must surrender
either to the French army, or an English squadron.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 8.54 for the Ac-
count, opened at 85a ; at present they are 854, with
little doing. They are now 85H.
In the Foreign Afarket there is nothing doing as yet.
The French Funds come 69f. 40c.
We do hot hear of any arrivals from Oporto.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The Dutch steamer has not as yet arrived, nor have we
any news to communicate at present. The opinions are
various in respect to the answer expected from the King
of Holland in giving up the forts.
A vessel is said to have arrived from Lisbon, which left
on the 21st instant, but nothing has transpired on the
subject as to what she brings.
Consols have been done as high this morning as 851 buyers ; at present they are 85/.
In other Foreign Market the Dutch Funds have im-
proved to 431 A. per cent. higher than yesterday.
In other securities nothing doing.

COUNTY COURT, RED LION SQUARr.

(THIS DAY.)

TAYLOR V. SPENCER.

This was an action on a baker's bill, to recover
101. ss. Bd. for bread and flour supplied to the defendant
from Nov., 1827, to Feb., 1828.
It appeared on behalf of the defendant, that the plain-
tiff had been in the habit of dealing with the defendant
for many years, and had been in the habit of paying the
amount, from time to time, by bills of exchange. The
amount, however, from November, 1827, to February,
1828, was never paid, although accounts of a subs, quest
period were paid. No proof was tendered that payment
of the account in question had ever been demanded.
In answer to the action, the defendant hod pleaded he
did not owe the plaintiff any thing. or that, if he did,
it was a sum that brought the case within the jurisdiction
of the Westminster Court of Req nests.
Several witnesses were called, one of whom was the
plaintiff's daughter. She stated that she was in the habit
of taking in the bread supplied to the family by the plain-
tiff, and that, to the best of her recollection, the plaintiff
did not supply them with any whatever between November,
1827, and February, 1828. The other witnesses proved
the hand writing of the defendant and his wife, to various
bills of exchange paid, and to weekly bills delivered,
subsequent to February, 1828. The amount of those
bills was carried forward from week to week, and in none
was the sum now sought to he recovered, mentioned,

The UNDER SHERIFF left it to the Jury to decide be-
tween the parties.
The Jury retired, and upon their return found a verdict
for the defendant.
