THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.
By the French mail this morning we have the following :
" They write from Paris, that on Monday there was a nume-
rous meeting of the Peers at M. Maubois'. The Ministers pro-
pose, it is said, to close the Session of 1831 atter the vote of the
Budget, but that a few days after the Session of 1832 was to be
opened, and the Budget of 1833 presented, and it was expected
that it would be voted without discussion."
Accounts from St. Petersburgh of the sth of January state,
that the liquidation of the expellees for the maintenance of the
Polish troops in Prussia has been settled between the two Go-
vernments, and that nothing will now prevent the departure of
M. Ribeaupierre as Ambassador to the Court of Prussia.
They write from Faenza (14th January) that the Civic Guard are
continually arriving there • tom Bologna, and proceeding to the
frontiers of Romagna. Yesterday a column of 700 men passed
through that town, with four pieces of artillery, and another
column was expected that day. Cardinal Ablani is at Pesaro,
and confessed all the troops ; he afterwards addressed them in a
long speech, exhorting them to exterminate the rebels; it
was expected that hostilities would very soon commence.
According to letters from Leghorn, of the 9th instant, it ap-
pears that two couriers have arrived from Paris, by whom it was
reported that the French Government had consented to give per.
mission to 12,000 Austrians to enter the Papal States.
Accounts from Madrid say, that on the arrival of the French
courier there, it was assured that the French Government would
consider the intervention of Spain in favour of Don Miguel as a
declaration of war against France.
A letter from Lugo, of the 12th of January, states that the
Papal troops have not as yet made their appearance, either at
Romagna or at Bologna, but remain cantoned at Rimini, Tano,
Pesaro, and Argenta, as the Austrians will not suffer any troops
of the line to enter Ferrare.
Savannah Papers to the 29th of December have been received
at the North and South American Coffee-house; they only con-
tain an account of the bursting of the boiler of the steam-vessel
Stranger, off New Orleans, which caused the loss of the lives of
five men.

THE FUNDS.
By the arrival of the estafette from Paris, we learn that the
French Three per Cents. have improved one per cent.; also that
the difficulties, in regard to the demolition of the fortresses in
Belgium, have been adjusted, and that the Prince of Orange was
to have an interview with the Emperor of Russia at Berlin.
Consols, which left off' yesterday on 'Change at 82% for the
account, opened this morning at 8.2% N, at present they are
82%%, with little doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We have received the French Morning Papers of Tuesday,
from which we copy the following :
(From the Gazette d'Augsburg.)
FRONTIERS OF PRUSSIA, J. 10.—The Cabinet of St.
James's was dissatisfied with the conduct of the Emperor Nicholas

answer, that his Britannic Majesty will not view the afthirs
or the Continent in the same light as before, but we are not in-
formed of the result of this affair; it is also stated, that a pro-
posal has been made to the English Ambassador for a pro-
longation or a delay of two months, when that expires the treaty
is to be ratified without conditions.
PARIS.—Tomorrow commences the discussion of the Budget,
the first part is to be the public debt.
M. Rothschild, of Paris and Vienna, had the honour of an au-
dsence of the King.
Consols have remained steady most part of the morning at
8214 alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing. The debate
in the House of Lords this night on the Dutch affairs causes
some sensation in the city, and has had a little effect on the
Funds, otherwise they would have improved. We also under-
stand that some money stock has come to market.
Consols at present, 82%
The Prince of Orange going to meet the Emperor of Russia
Berlin is not credited in the City.
In the Foreign Funds little doing.

THREE O'CLOCK

The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday
says—" The Governor and Director. of the Bank of Ire-
land are fortifying their mansions for a siege, and laying
in (we protest to Heaven we are quite serious) biscuit and
pickled pork for the garrison."
The execution of the five condemned rioters
will take place to.tnorrow. They continue to behave ex-
tremely well. *DAVIS is partieularly assiduous in his de-
votional exercises. KAsse, we understand, declared yes-
terday that he had a very hard heart, and did not feel it
at all softened by his present situation. —Bristol Mirror.
Mr. LEIGH HUNT'S new novel, " Sir Ralph
Esher, or Adventures of a Gentleman of the Court of
Charles II.," the publication of which has been delayed
by unavoidable circumstances, will, we are informed, po-
sitively appear in a few days. The times of the merry
Monarch are perhaps better suited to the purposes of the
novelist than any other period in the eventful history of
our country, owing to the numerous plots and intrigue!
continually in agitation, in which the high personages who
figured at his Court were frequently the prime movers.
The hero, after whom the work is named, though born of
a Puritan family, contrives to get introduced at Court,
where he, of course, comes in contact with all the wits and
beauties who surrounded the throne of CHARLES. We can
readily imagine how Mr. litncr will avail himself of so
brilliant an era,

COURT OF KING'S BENCII.--(THIS DAY.'

r"
Their LORDSHIPS were occupied this morning in riving Y
judgments upon appeals and hearing motions, none of which
possessed any interest.
AMERICAN LEGAL DECISIONS.
Lord TENTERDEN in the course of the forenoon addressed
the Bar to the following effect :—" Mr. Richard Peters, a
Councillor of Law, and Reporter to the Supreme Court of the
United States, has done me the honour to send me four volumes
of the legal decisions in that Court, accompanied by a letter de-
siring my acceptance of them as the head of this Court, and I do
not know a better mode of complying with the wishes and in-
tentions of the donor than by ordering the books to be placed
among the books of this Court. Mr. Peters states in his
letter, that the decisions in the Supreme Court are strictly in ac-
cordance with our decisions ; and although it cannot be supposed
from the multiplicity of my avocations, that I can find time to
pay any very great attention to the perusal of the decisions in
these books, I am bound to say, that as far as I have been able
to look into them, they appear to me to be founded on strong,
good, and sound sense, and upon a good and sound principle."
His Lordship then handed the volumes to the Master of the
Court.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. MUNDAY.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Court, that
they would order their Remembrancer to review the taxation
of the bill of costs in this case, furnished by Mr. Davis, one of
the sworn clerks so Court. The defendant Munday was served
with a process at the suit of the Attorney-General, upon which
a subptena was issued without the information having been filed,
in the meantime Munday compromised the case, and the infor_
!nation was never filed, but Mr. Davis charged his tee of (is. Bd.
notwithstanding.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed this for the benefit
of the subject, as well as the Crown, on two grounds; first, that
as the information had never been tiled, there had been no cause
in Court, therefore, the clerk had no work to do for which
he ought to charge; and second, that if lie was entitled
at all to charge his fee, he ought only to be allowed us. 4d.
The Learned Gentleman argued the first ground at some
length, but the Court said that the clerk was bound to search
and give notice whether there was any appearance, therefore he
was entitled to his fee; also it was always presumed that the in-
formation was filed before the subpcena could issue, therefore
there was a cause in Court.

The Learned ATTORNEY-GENERAL then argued the
other ground, and said that 3s. 4d. had been the ancient fee, and
had never been altered by either the Court or Act of Parliament.
In 1807 the Commissioners had recommended that the fees
of the Clerks in Equity should be raised, which was ac-
cordingly done. The Clerks in this Court thought that they
also were entitled to an advance in their fees, and made out
a table themselves, raising them from 3s. 4il. to Cs. bd., upon
which they had acted ever since; but in this they had acted
entirely against the recommendation of the Commissioners, for
they said that the fees in the revenue causes should remain at
3s. 4d.
Mr. SHEPPARD followed on the same side.

Mr. JERVIS appeared for Mr. Davis. He contended that
the charge of 6s. Bd. had been allowed ever since 1807, and had
even been recognized by the Court in a case of the same kind as
the present, in which they confirmed the fees of 6s. Bd.
Lord LYNDHURST asked if that case was not one respect-
ing the fees on the equity side ?

Mr. JERVIS said, certainly; but the cases were analagous.
At all events it had been in practice for more than fifteen years,
without having been challenged.
Mr. FOLLET appeared on the same side. The Learned
Gentleman had nothing new to offer.
_ _ _

The LORD CHIEF BARO.ti:aid that it had not been
shewn that these fees had been altered by any competent au-
thority, but in fact rather against the authorities. It also was
a most partial rule that was followed, for the poor defendant was
charged 6s. Sd. while the Crown was charged only 3s. 4d. His
opinion was that the charge of 6s. Sd. could not be allowed, and
that 3s. 4d. wag all that the clerk was legally entitled to. It
was equally clear that the clerk had the right to his fee in all
cases.
The other Judges concurred in this view of the case.

DATCHETTn. WILLIAMS.
In this case, which was an action against the Hope Insur.
ante Company, for a large sum of money on a life policy, and
which we fully reported in the early part of the term, when the
Attorney-General argued the rule for a new trial, the Court
decided that there was no ground for disturbing the verdict.
