Committee for the Relief of the Poor, are under the painful neces-
sity of giving notice, that after to-morrow (Friday), the !nth of
August, the Distribution of provisions willows."

THE FUNDS.

CITY, Metro 0' Clech.

The business hitherto dons in the English Funds is of a limited
nature, and they have been rather heavy ; Consols opened at 784
4, were at one period 784 it and are now 78i, the nearest price.
The business in the Foreign Funds has also been but trifling ;
Mexican Bonds are about J per Cent. lower than they opened at,
and are 5b 4 ; Colombian, $2 4 ; Spanish are without any trans-
actions in them, at 10} I. In the *tea no novelty has hitherto
presented itself; but u the longtxpeeted Brazil Mail is arrived, a.
well as that due from Buenos Ayres, and the letters received by
them' are late in delivery from the Post-office, it is impossible to
give any idea of the information from those quarters as applicable
to their speculations.

LAW -114TELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CIIA.NCERif...-(Tats DAY,)
HIGH LIFE.
NvELLESLICY v. DUKE BEO4 ok

Mr. HARI' hoped 'his Lotdship, in Mentioning. this case,
ivefuld riot anticipate that he teats about to press for imme-
diate judgment; but Mr. Wellesley vs under a firm con-
viction, that the care, if it could be called tare, iii which
his children at present were, was as mischievous as could
be, and it was for this reason that he had to press for judg-
ment, as early as his Lordship's convenience would puma
after he left the Court for the recess.

--: -
His LORDSUIP—I have certainly not delayed the judg-
ment in that case' from want of attention to the circum-
stances of it, but I have delayed it for a reason, which at
least ought to be perfectly satisfactory to myself. If there
is any thing improper with respect to the state of the
children, that should he the subject Qf my immediate at-
,
tention.

Mr. HART did not mean to speak in disparageinent of
the ladies in whose care the children were, when he said,
their -care of them was that which Mr. Wellesley very
highly disapproved of. The Court knew that want of
discipline was very often, in early life, as pernicious as bad
example; and the Learned Counsel thought it right, in
making this statement, to exculpate Mr. Wellesley from
every inclination to throw any moral imputation on the
ladies. Mr. Wellesley had been with him thirty times,
urging him to mention the case to the Court, which he
had always refused.
Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL wished that Mr. Hart had
the thirty-first time declined to mention the case,, because
having mentioned it in this way, conveyed an imputation
on the ladies. Mr. Wellesley had said by his Counsel,
that his firm conviction was, that the present care of the
children was most mischievous, but he. had to state as
firm a persuasion on the part of the ladies (his clients)
that the ad iitterim.care and management of the children
were the most fit and proper.
Mr. HART—A lady's care of a boy of fourteen years
old, the most fit and proper!
Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL—The ladies, Mr. Hart, don't
teach that boy Latin and Greek.
His LORDSHIP--I can say no more at present, than
that the duty I have to discharge in that case is one of
the most painful in the world, for I must act in substance
upon what is a most serious imputation on the one side or
the other. I don't say whether I have or have not formed
an opinion with reference to that which I allude to, but it
does appear to me that circumstances have happened;
which make it very difficult for me.to decide the question
as satisfactorily to myself as I thought at the end of last
term I could have (lone.

IN THE MATTER OT RAMSDEN, A BANKRUPT.

Mr. HSALD said, his client in this matter, was a member
of a very ancient, noble, and once affluent family, in York-
shire: At present,- he was in prison, and it would not be
proper for him to state the medical man's affidavit, who
was attending that gentleman, for whether he was dying
or not, the Lord Chancellor's mind ought not tobe .
in-
fluenced by any thing, so as to administer the justice of the
Court different in one case from another. The unfortunate
gentleman was in confinement, very ill, and without his
certificate. Mr. Heald, when the matter was argued before
the Vice Chancellor, thought the commission a very good
one, but his Honour would do no otherwise .than direct an
issue to try the validity of it, pending the trial of which
this gentleman was to remain in custody. The case
was comparatively a short one, there being only one
affidavit on the part of the petitioning creditor, and four
on the part of the bankrupt. It was quite impoisible for
the Court to enter fully into any long matter in the paper
for to-morrow, because in one day it never could be got
through; therefore he had only to submit it to his Lord-
ship, whether he would permit this matter to be at the
head of the bankrupt paper for to-morrow.
His LORDSHIP aaid,there were already several things ape-
cially appointed for to-morrow. If this matter,the gentlemen
at the bar thought consistent with their duty to other
suitors, could also be heard, for his own part, he should
feel most happy to lend himself to it; if not, he had not
intended to sit on Monday, but on that day to have pre-
pared himself for disposing of name things on Tuesday;
still he would come down then to hear it.
Mr. Ilvat.6 preferred having it put into the paper for
to-morrow, to take its chance of being heard, after what
had previously been appointed.
