THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocr.
Consols closed yesterday at 88H; but, after the hours
of business, were done at 88i for account : this morning
the market opened at B'3B and dwindled down to 81i, at
which rate they were done, but are now 88ii. In the
course of yesterday the reports were numerous; and, such
was the state of the Bears, that no opposition was made,
and the Bulls had it all their own way. To-day, Money
Stock, as well as for time, has come in plentifully, and the
transactions have been rather extensive : the Commissioners
gave 871 for Reduced. India Bonds, 98 9 ; and Exchequer
Bills, 60 1 pm.
Some few transactions took place in Brazilian Bonds,
in consequence of the speech of a Noble Lord, who has
once or twice before expressed his opinion on the subject,
and it is supposed it has had the desired effect on the mar-
ket, which would have been greater if the jobbers had net
had intimation that the question would be brought forward.
In the City more is known than we are desirous to express
on the subject. The Bonds declined to 631, and are now
63} Money is scarce in the Foreign House, and it ap-
pears to be a Bull account. The settlement takes place
next Monday. There is nothing el.. doing in the Foreign
Funds. The following are the quotations
' Three per Cent. Consols, shut ; Ditto for Aesount,

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of Grain this week are large for this sea-
son of the year, and the weather being now rematkably
fine, occasions the market to be dull for every kind of
Grain. The prices of Wheat remain the same as on Mon-
day, with a very limited sale. Barley, Bet ns, and Pease,
are unaltered in value. It is only fine sweet parcels of
Oats that maintain Monday's terms, other kinds are rather
cheaper. Flour meets a very heavy sale.

HOUSt OF LORDS.

THE BIBLE SOCIETIES OS' EIIINBUDGH AND GLASGOW,

APPELLANTS V. SIR DAVID WINTER BLAIR, BART.
AND OTHERS, TIIE KING'S PRINTERS FOR SCOTLAND,

itESl'O24 DENTS.
The present appeal from a decision of the Court
of Session in Scotland; iiiitltes a question of great
importance to the religion of that country, and the
final disposal of it by the House of Peers is looted
forward to yith much anxiety and expectation.
The respondents, in virtue of his Majesty's letters
patent, maintain that they are entitled to prevent
the importation of Bibles from England, and to
exercise an absolute and exclusive monopoly of !up-
plying the people of Scotland with certain religious
and other publications. This privilege is oppose,'
by the appellants, who contend that the effects of the
respondents' pretensions, if sustained, would be
in the highest degree injurious to the best interests
of the State, of the Established Church of Scot-
land, of the members of the Church of England re,
silent in Scotland, and of numerous other respect-
able societies of Christians. The letters patent in
question appoint the respondents to be the Kings
sole printers in Scotland, with the exclusive privilege
of printing Bibles Psalm and Prayer Books, &c. and
generally all publications emanating from Royal
authority. They further prohibit all persons from im-
porting into Scotland any of the said books or pub-
lications, " a quibusvis locis transmarinis," unless
with the consent of the respondents. On the
strength of this patent, the respondents deny the
right of distribution in Scotland, by the appellants,
of Bibles lawfully printed by the King's ptinters9
and the Universities of England. The case ex-
cited serious interest in Scotland, and was very care-
fully considered by the Court below, which ulti-
mately gave judgment in favour of the patentees. Dr.
Lushington addressed their Lordships this forenoon,
on behalf of the appellants; but the question is
so extensive that the arguments of Counsel will pro-
bably occupy several days. We observed some dis-
tinguished members of the Scotch Church in atten-
dance. They appeared to listen with deep attention
to the learned Doctor, whose speech had not con-
cluded when our reporter left the House.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
INJUNCTION.
TIIE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE V. MANDEVILLY.

This was an application for an injunction to re-
strain the defendant from working a certain coal-
mine at Castle Sowerby, in Cumberland. It was
stated that the defendant was let into possession of
the mines in 1825, as tenant from year to year; and
as they were then in an unfit state for working, be-
ing what is usually termed drowned, the defendant
was merely to pay a per ceutage on the quantity of
coals which he might happen to raise. In the
course of the last year the Noble' Duke having let
the mines in question, together with others in
the immediate neighbourhood, to a single te-
nant, caused notice to quit on the Ist of May
last to be served on the defendant, but when
the new tenant, accompanied by the Noble plain-

tiff's agent, went o►► the premises to demand
possession o:► the 2d of May, the defendant refused
to deliver up the mines, which he still continued to
work. tinder these circumstances it became neces-
sary to apply to this Court for an injunction.
Mr. Holm: appeared in support of the appli-
cation.

Mr. BICKERSTLTH, on the part of the defendant,
characterized the present proceeding against his client
as one of great hardship, if not of positive injustice,
and although the name of the Noble Duke was
placed on the record, the Learned Gentleman was
sure that if he were made acquainted with the real
merits of the case he would not have sanctioned the
application. When the defendant was admitted
to the possession of the mines in question they
were perfectly unfit for working, and presented
difficulties which it required great perseverance and
much expellee to overcome, and now when the
rrrilm-4 were btgl gw be prunuirUle, this poor
man was to be prevented from reaping the fruits of
his industry. The Learned Gentleman stated, that
whilst the defendant was engaged in clearing out
and working the mines, the agent of that part of the
Noble Duke's estates applauded him for his exertions,
and told him that he was acting like a spirited tenant.
The defendant was thus induced to lay out a large sum
of money on the mines, and although no positive
agreement to that effect was entered into, expecta-
tions were held out to him that he was to have a
lease. of the mines for 14 years.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR was of opinion, that as
the defendant was merely a tenant from year to
year, he had no right to continue in the possession
of the mines after receiving six months' notice to
quit. With respect to the agreement for a lease of
fourteen years, such an arrangement might have
been talked of, but the matter did not go any fur-
ther, and it appeared from the affidavits that the
defendant had not at the time entirely consented to
it. His Honour, therefore, granted the injunction.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
THE RING V. PEACHY.
This was an application for a rule for a criminal
information against the defendant as Chairman of
the Petty Sessions for the division of Bognor, in the
county of Sussex, for refusing to grant a license to
a person 'named Clarke, who had built an hotel in
Bognor.
Lord TENTERDEN delivered the judgment of the
Court. There was no proof of any corrupt motives
operating in the minds of the Magistrates or of Mr.
Peachy. They were of opinion that the appli-
cant Clarke was an unfit person to keep an
hotel. He had kept one previously, and the
Magistrates might, therefore, have been sup-
posed to have had some knowledge of his cha-
racter. They did not state the particular facts on
which their opinion was formed, and it might have
been improper for them so to do. A me-
morial had been presented, numerously signed,
stating that there existed a necessity for an
hotel at Bognor, to accommodate visitors ; but this
memorial did not meet the objection to applicant's
character. There was no ground for ascribing cor-
rupt motives to the Magistrates, and the bill must
therefore be discharged; but as it was not unreason-
able- that Mr. Clarke should ask the Magistrates
to explain the grounds on which they refused his
application, the rule was discharged without costs.
—Rule discharged.
THE KING V. OLDWORTHY AND OTHERS.
This was an application for a criminal information
against the defendants, as Magistrates of the county
of Lancaster, charging them with corruptly convict-
ing some parties under the Game Laws, who had
been previously acquitted on an information for the
same offence. The rule was fully argued during the
last term, and Lord Tenterden now delivered the
judgment of the Court. He said, that the Court was
of opinion, that there had been no evidence adduced
thing like a corrupt intention on be-
halfMagistrates.--The rule was therefore
to
prove
of
tahi y
discharged.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
Mr. Justice PARKE came into Court this morning,
and 'rook bail in some causes. A few motions of
course were also made, after which his Lordship pro-
ceeded with the other Judges to the Exchequer
Chamber, to hear arguments on a writ of error.
