THE FUNDS.

The arrival of the advanced Guard of the French fleet on our
shores, consisting of one line of battle ship and four frigates has
had a little effect on our Funds. We understand that our fleet
will not be ready before the Bth of November. The French
Admiral goes on shore this day, the remainder of the French
fleet was not expected till to-morrow. The ships have a fine
appearance.

Consols, which left off yesterday at g 4 opened at 63");; 84,
at which price they are at present, with little doing. The
public and speculators are anxiously waiting his Dutch Ma-
jesty's answer. Up to this hour we have no fresh news from
Portugal. Consols are now 84.
HALF-PAST ONE.

Up to the present hour, we have no political information to
communicate respecting the Dutch question, still various are
the opinions on the subject. The Dutch party are of a firm
opinion that the King of Holland will not give up the Citadel
of Antwerp without coining to blows. A few days will decide
this important event.

Although we have the appearance of warlike preparations the
funds continue steady with little doing. Consols which were
in the early part of the morning at 83 %N for the Account are at
present 84 buyers. In the foreign market the chief specula-
tion is in Spanish Stock, which has improved };per cent. ; they
have been done at 15 I 4

Baron DURAND DE MAREIUL has quitted
town for Paris, on his way to Berlin, to assume his func-
tions as Minister Pl-nipotentiary tram the Court of the
Palais Royal. The B iron is a diplomatist of considerable
experience, having been employed as Minister at the
Hague and the United States under the Emperor NAPo.
LEON. He came to this country in June last as the suc-
cessor pro tern. of Prince TALLEYRAND, during his Exerl-
lency's absence. _ _

EAGLE.—A mountain eagle flew over the
Academy Park in this town, last week, to the no small
astonishment of the boys in the play ground, and every
person who witnessed it. Whether the majestic wanderer
had " lost its way," or winged a bolder flight than usual,
we cannot tell ; but we have never seen this monarch of
birds nearer the town than at the distance of a dozen mi'es,
on the solitary banks of Loch Ness, among the cliffs of
Inverfarigaig, or at the Fall of Foyers.—lnverness Paper
On Sunday evening, during the service at Mr.
litviNa's " pr.,ching house," torinerlv the residence of
BENJAMIN WEST, Newman-street, Oxf qd-street. a gentle-
man lost a valuable gold watch. PARTRIDGE, the police-
officer, was in the house at the time, and, on being in-
formed of the robbery, used every endeavour to discover
the thief, but without effect.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Ste,—This Grammar, of which the fourth edition has just
appeared, will be found eminently useful for self-instruction. It
is the best companion which a person desirous of learning the
French language can possibly have. The Essays on the rules of
the language are all colloquial, and form a valuable repertory
for conversation. By construing these familiar exercises into
French, according to the method recommended in the Key, the
pupil is kept in constant practice, and may learn the French
language with as much facility as if he studied it in Paris.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
London, October, 26, 1832. M. N. 0.
N.B.—M. Danville is also the author of an excellent
introductory book to the French language, in 19 lessons.

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK.

Quebec papers to the 30th September, Montreal to the 3d
October, and Port-au-Prince to the 2tl September, havebeen re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.
(From the Board of Health, Montreal, Oct. 2.;

The Board of Health feels the sincerest pleasure in being
enabled to congratulate their fellow-citizens on the almost total
disappearance of the cholera; but few cases having occurred
within these last ten (lays.
It appears that the second meeting of the five counties took
place at St. Charles's on Friday, last. The Committee having
reported its proceedings, by which its powers were continued,
and in consequence of some expressions in the letters of his
Excellency to the magistrates and the military, the Assembly
did not judge it expedient to carry into effect to convene the
Provincial Parliament.

The Indian war is completely at an end, as by the last accounts
the hostile chiefs, Hawk and the Prophet, have been captured.
We understand that his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief,
sets out on Monday or Tuesday next for Montreal.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Message,. des Chambres, dated Monday.)
RECEIVED THIS DAY.

The Cabinet has put forth the following note : it ap-
pears very precise, but, in our opinion, adds nothing to
the credit which has been deserved hitherto by all the
equally precise declarations which have been made upon
the Hollando-Belgic question :
" Many conjectures have been made upon the resolu-
tions which have just been adopted by the Powers. It
would appear, according to the assertions most worthy of
credit, that England and France have signed a convention,
having for its object a demand in common for the execu-
tio❑ of the treaty of Nov. 15. The conditions of this
convention are, it is said, very precise. The Kings of
Belgium and Holland are to be summoned on the Qd of
November next, severally to evacuate the places they oc-
cupy in the territory of the other. If on the 2d of Nov.
their consent be not given to this evacuation, the combined
squadrons will sail on the sth to commence a blockade of
their ports ; and if on the 12th the evacuation be not
made, the French will, on the 15th, march upon Ant-
werp. Such is said to be the treaty which limits the
King of Holland within precise terms—which solemnly
cem,nts the union of France and England—and which,
in assuring us the near solution of the Belgic question,
will prevent it from becoming the cause of a general war.
It is adifed, and this is certain, that a❑ estafette started
yesterday evening for Cherbourg, to bear the French squa-
dron orders to sail for Spithead.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.
ELECTION MATTERS.—Yesterday Sir Samuel
Aurdon Whalley, one of the candidates for the bo-
rough of St. Marylebone, waited upon the LORD
MAYOR, having previously sent in his card, stating
that he wished to know whether his Lordship, as
returning-officer for St. Marylebone, was prepared
to enter into a contract relative to the hustings for
the polling.
The LORD MAYOR, when Sir Samuel was about
ro address him upon the subject, could by no means
listen to any application from a candidate at the
present time. He was determined that there should
be no ground of suspicion, however remote, that
he would depart from the impartial course which he
had marked out for himself, and he thought that at a
period of election, a returning-officer should be
particularly cautious in listening to any candidate.
Sir Samuel Whalley said, that his object was to
be set right upon the subject of the curse to be
adopted with respect to the election. He was con-
vinced that he must be returned, and he was anxious
for information on the point, in the event of the
presentation of a petition against his return to Par-

liament.
The LORD MAYOR would willingly communicate
to Sir Samuel Whalley, because it might be neces-
sary that the public should be informed of the ar-
rangements made for the election. On the preced-
ing day the returning officers of all the metropolitan
districts, together with the several law authorities,
had assembled at the Manion-house for the purpose
of fixing the days of nomination and polling. Afte;
due consideration, it was reasonable that the day of
nomination at the several places to be represented,
should be Saturday next, at the hour of 11 for 12,
and that the days of election should be the Mon-
day and Tuesday following. The hour of polling
was to commence at 9 o'clock on the first day of
polling, to last eight hours on the first, and nine on
the second day. The Liverymen were, the Lord
Mayor observed, to vote in Guildhall as usual, and
the new voters were to be polled in various dis-
tricts, comprehending all the Wards, and to be im-
mediately appointed.
It may be proper to state, that by the Act of
Parliament, the Lord Mayor has nothing whatever
to do with the city election. The Sheriffs of Lon-
don alone have that responsibility. It has been
supposed by some of the public, that the Chief Ma-
gistrate was the returning-officer for the city, and
so many had fallen into that error that it is neces-
sary to correct it to prevent any misconception
amongst those who will see his Lordship acting as
returning-officer for Marylebone.
London, England, 1832-12-05

QUEEN-SQUARE.

ONE OF THE FAIR SEX OF WESTMINSTER.,--
Yesterday Mary Groves, better known by the name
of " Out-and-out Poll," was forcibly brought into
the presence of the presiding Magistrate, and
charged with assaulting the widow Peduie, landlady
of the Hoop and Grapes, opposite to this office.
Miss Mary, accompanied by another lady, went into
the complainant's house, and called for a quarter!.
of " the right sort out of the bottle ;" the landlady',
daughter, however, whether by mistake or other-

CONSISTORY COURT, DEC. 4.

BAGSTER, FALSELY CALLED NEWTON, V. NEWTON.
This is a proceeding commenced in behalf of
Wiss Bagster, falsely called Newton, for a nullity of
marriage, against Mr. Newton, on the ground of
the insanity of the young lady. The suit has been
commenced to obtain a decree declaring the marriage
solemnized between the parties null and void. The
parties in the cause are those who were, some time
back, frequently before the public, during the com-
mission of lunacy which was opened to try the
soundness of Miss Bagste►•'s mind, and in which, it
will be remembered, the Jury returned a verdict
that the young lady was of unsound mind.
The Proctor, on behalf of the Committee of the
young lady in the present case, applied to the Court
to order the Proctor for Mr. Newton to deliver in
his answers to the libel in the cause by next Court
Jay, on pain of dismissal.
Dr. LUSHINGTON said he could not make such an
order, as Mr. Newton might refuse to give his an-
swers. He thought the case had better stand over.
This was agreed to.

COURT OF THE DEAN AND CHAPTER

OF ST. PAUL'S.—DEc. 4.

SAMPSON V. SAMPSON.

This was a suit promoted by Mrs. Mary Samp-
son against her husband, Mr. Richard Sampson, of
St. Pancras, for a divorce, on the ground of cruelty.
The proceedings have been going on for some time,
and an additional allegation was now offered on be-
half of the wife, charging her husband with adultery.
Dr. PHILLIMORE, on behalf of Mr. Sampson, op-
posed the admission of the allegation on two
grounds—viz., that it was now too late to give in
such a plea of adultery; and that on the citation
cruelty alone was alleged.
Affidavits on both sides were read, from the con-
tents of which, and the former proceedings, it ap-
peared that the parties were married in 1819, and
that they separated in July, 1831. It was alleged
on behalf of the wife, that she had been treated with
cruelty by her husband; that on stating her sus-
picions, from information she had received, that he
had an adulterous connection with a married
woman, named Harriet Hitchins, he became en-
raged, threw his boot at her, struck her violent
blows, and swore he would break her old neck if
she repeated her suspicions ; and that, owing to his
violent conduct on other occasions, she had been
compelled to separate from him. On behalf of the
husband the adultery was denied ; but it was ad-
mitted that he had struck his wife, which it was al-
leged was owing to her aggravating conduct.
Dr. DODSON said Mrs. Sampson had no certain
knowledge of the guilt of her husband. The wit-
nesses vouched in the cause, on behalf of the wife,
gave evidence that they saw the blinds of the win-
dows of the house in which Mrs. Hitchins lived
pulled down when Mr. Sampson went to visit her,
as he said, on business; and because the wife had
mentioned those suspicions, the husband had
Thrashed her. He contended that the libel ought
to be admitted.

Sir H. JENNER went over the principal facts
stated on both sides, and said a new point was in-
troduced to the Court ; but he could not but think
that the wife was sincere in her feelings, when she
made an accusation against her husband of com-
mitting adultery with the woman Hitchins, in 1827,
and the Court could not, in justice to the wife, shur
out evidence of the fact. There was no reason why
a fresh citation should be taken out on the charge of
adultery, both parties being now before the Court.
In principle the case of " Barrett v. Barrett," was
the same as the present, and be should admit the
libel to proof after certain reformations.

THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS.

The ninth exhibition of this society was opened this morning,
in Suffolk-street, for a private view, prior to the opening of the
Exhibition (to-morrow) to the public. The rooms were filled
with cognoscenti and amateurs, but owing to the exhaustion of
the upper classes by the fatigues of Parliament, we did not see
as many of the aristocracy as we have often witnessed at this
society upon similar occasions. The exhibition contains 932
works, we believe an unprecedented number ; and though,
perhaps, we cannot say that in point of merit the whole are
above the average of former years, many of them are of great
beauty, and even what are now termed second rata
would, forty years ago, have been deemed to reflect
honour upon the arts of this country. The por-
traits are numerous. There is an admirable likeness of
that venerable and esteemed Statesman, " Sir J. Newport,"
by Mr. T. C. Thompson. The painting is of excellent tone,
sober, and severe in style, without being cold or crude. There
is a fine elaborate portrait of " Lord Talbot," in which the
same artist has produced a grand and even brilliant effect
by light and cold colours. It exhibits breadth, strength of
touch, and a masterly manner of treating the subject. Mr.
Lonsdale has been very fortunate in his portraits. Roberts has
two very fine pieces (Nos. 13 and 75). There is a good pic-
ture by Prentice (No. 45), but the artist has rather failed
in the tone. Mr. Inskipp's pencil has been very indus-
trious, and we never saw it exerted with more effect.
Mr. Farrier has shown great humour in his piece (190), but
the effect is not aided by the light and back ground. One of
the finest pieces is " An interior of a Gaming-house," by
ridding. The grouping is excellent, the lights well managed,
and the whole story told most admirably. There is a
moral as well as an excellence of art in this piece.
Its only faults may be a want of finish, and a
scratchy carelessness which some parts of it display.
Linto has a capital perspective piece (314), and Hart has
succeeded well in a small picture, which he terms a portrait.
Although the Lord Chancellor's countenance is probably the
most marked in the kingdom, no artist has succeeded in
giving a good likeness of him. Mr. Lonsdale.ts— (No. 466),
is, perhaps, as good as any, but it is far irom good.
Mr. Rochard has one of the best specimens of portrait
painting (797.) The Sculpture Room is far from excellent.
There is a simple and very beautiful piece of a boy and a Lizard,
in which Mr. Sharp has been more fortunate in his chisel than
in the marble. Never was there a more unlucky block of
marble chosen by a sculptor. " A Girl caressing a Child,"
by Hefferman, displays great merit of modelling.
Those who are fond of studies of dead game, and dead
animals, will find several excellent pictures of this
class, and there are a few very brilliant specimens of flower
and fruit paintings. The hour of opening the Exhibition does
not admit of our doing more than generalizing its contents in
our present publication, but we shall revert to the subject.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

EX-PARTE DIXON IN THE MATTER OF DIXON.
This was a petition by the bankrupt, praying that a day
might be appointed, in order that he might give a full
and complete account of his estate and effects, and un-
dergo his third examination. He had attended the two
first meetings before the Commissioners, and was pre.
paring to attend the third, when he discovered some error
in his balance sheet, and being unacquainted with the nature
of the business he absented himself in order to perfect his ac.
counts. That had now been done, but it was found that he
could not undergo his third examinatfon without an especial
order of the Court.

The petition not being opposed, their Honours granted the
prayer, but intimated that it was not by any means to be con.
sidered as a motion of course. The petitioner was ordered to
pay the costs of the application.
EX-PARTE EVANS, IN THE MATTER OF FORD.
In this case some disputes had arisen between the two assignees
named Evans and Gibbs, and the former had brought an action
against the latter which would be tried at the Assizes at Taun-
ton, and at which it would be necessary to produce the pro.
ceedings in the Commission. By the Bankruptcy Act, how.
ever, bankruptcy proceedings could not be produced in evi-
dence upon any trial, unless they had previously been recorded
in this Court.

Mr. CHANDLESS appeared to support a petition by Mr.
Evans, to compel his co-assignee (and defendant in the action)
or his attorney, Mr. Reeves (solicitor to the Commission) to
record the proceedings, in order to their being properly pro-
duced on the trial.

Mr. MONTAGUE, on behalf of Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Reeves,
opposed the petition.
Their HONOURS were unanimously of opinion that Mr.
Evans should have the power of producing the proceedings on
the trial; and that, therefore, they should be recorded. They,
however, suggested that it would be better for Mr. Montague to
consent to admit every fact which it was necessary for Mr.
Evans to prove by the production of the proceedings. That
course would save considerable expence. _ .

Mr. MONTAGUE acquiesced in the suggestion of their

Honours, but hoped that his client would not have to pay the
costs of this application.
The COURT ordered the petitioner to pay Mr. Reeves
costs.
London, England, 1832-03-23

This was an action of debt, to recover penalties against
the defendent for non-residence upon his benefice. The
57 Geo. 111., c. 99, s. 5, enacts, " that every spiritual
person holding any benefice, who shall without licence
wilfully absent himself, &c., shall, if such absence shall
exceed three months, forfeit one-third of the annual value ;
if six months, one-half; if eight months, two-thirds; and
if the whole year, three-fourths of such annual value, &c."
The defendant is the rector of the parish of Hensworth,
in the west riding of Yorkshire, and the object of this ac-
tion was to recover three-fourths of the yearly value of the
living, on the ground that he had wilfully absented him-
self without licence during the whole of 1829. It was
proved that the defendant resided until May in that year
at the house of a Mrs. Bignold, in Middleton-row, Clerk-
enwell. About a fortnight after he left her house he en-
gaged lodgings at the house of a person of the name of
Johnson, who lived in Dover-road, within two hun-
ched or three hundred yards of the limits of the rules of the
King's Bench, and there he remained during the rest of the
year, He was arrested more than once at both these places,
and there was reason to believe that he had passed
about a fortnight of the year in prison. When served
with the notice which the Act of Parliament requires to
be given before action brought, be was a prisoner in
Horsemonger-lane gaol. The Rev. Mr. Wright, the de-
fendant's curate at Heinsworth, stated that he had not
seen the defendant during 1829. This witness also stated,
that in his judgment the yearly value of the living
amounted to from 9001. to 1,100/. ; but in the certificate
of the Archhishop (which under the above-mentioned
Act he is compelled to give), the yearly profits were cal-
culated only to amount to 8601.

For the defendant it was contended, that the words

" wilful absence," which were employed in the Act of
Parliament, evidently showed that the penalty for non-
residence was only intended to attach to those clergymen
who were absent from their benefices for their own plea-
sure, and not to those whom pecuniary or other embar-
rassments might drive away.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, adding that
the value of the living, clear of all deductions, was 710/.
a year, and that the defendant had been absent a year.
A verdict was accordingly entered for the plaintiff
for the sum of 5321. 10s., being three-fourths of
the yearly value, with liberty to the defendant to move to
reduce the verdict to a smaller sum, if the Court shall be
of opinion that the absence of the fortnight during which
the defendnnt was in prison was not a " wilful absence,"
and therefore that the period of wilful absence did not
extend to a year.
