THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwELrE 0' Cz,ocir.

The British Funds have not been animated this morning,
notwithstanding the contents of his most Christian Ma•
jesty's Speech, whicii was exclusively given in the SUN of
last evening, but too late to occasion any effect on the busi-
ness doing in the Funds. Consols opened this moaning at
85, have been 85 for money and time, but have since
gone back to 85, sellers. India Bonds are 92 4, and Ex-
chequer Bills, 62 3 pm.
There is scarcely any thing to notice of particular import
in the Foreign Funds ; Brazilian Bonds are 61 ; Buenos
Ayres keep dwindling, and are 38 9 ; Mexican art also
lower, being 38, sellers; Portuguese 721 ; Russian,
of 4 ; Danish, 614
In the Share Market there appears to be little satisfac-
tory, and so much uncertainty attends these speculation,
added to the tricks which appear• to have been played off,
one or two exceptions, that he must have a good appetite,
and still more faith, who enters into theirldangerous vortex,
which has swamped already so large a portion of the public
property. We refer our readers to the Vigo Bay scheme
for a sample of how these matters are got up.

Three per Cent. Consols, 84j 5;- Ditto for the Ac-
count, 154 - 5 ; India Bonds, 92 4 pm. ; Exchequer Bills,
62 3 pm. _ _

United Mexican, 204 20 die.

TWO O'CLOCK.
Consols are 851, but with little doing. Mexican Bonds
have fallen to 361, more from the circumstance of money
stock coming to market, than to any political causer—the
accounts received from this quarter to-day beiqg considered
rather favourable.

Monday; the object was, to have the Master directed to
proceed de die in diem, upon the order to him of reference
respecting Mr. Wellesley's children being sent to Eton.--
Application granted.

VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

FLEMMING F. ST. JOHN.

It wilt be recollected that in this case a Bill of Discovery
had been filed by the plaintiff against the defendant, for th.•
purpose of proventinv the of certain promissory
note*, passed for part of the amount of a sum of mossy
lost at Gregory Ballard's, in George-street, flanover-
square. The defendant demurred to the bill, on the ground
that his answer might be subject to certain penalties.
When the case was argued a few days since, hie
HONOUR was then of opinion that the plaintiff had no
right to a discovery, and the only difficulty that presented
itself was as to the particular form in which the objection
ought to have been taken by the defendant. It was argued
that the defendant should have pleaded the several statutes by
which the penalties could be inflicted,—that these statutes
did not appsar on the face of the bill; and therefore it
was argued that a demurrer could not take any notice of
tkem.

The question of practice his Hoxoux thought of considera-
ble importarce, and deferred his judg,usent upon thaepartieu-
lar point until he should look at the authorities. His Honour,
this mornii.g, said that he had carefully examined all the
cases, and found that the objection might be made by
demurrer, even when the penalties where inflicted by posi-
tive statutes, as well as where the defendant could be pro-
secuted at common law. The demurrer, in the present
case, was therefore allowed.
