THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TwEr.rs o' Clam
A great confusion was caused in the city this
morning, owing to a letter having been received at
the North and South American Coffee-house, as
follows, and posted on the board :

_ .
" PORTSMOUTH, JULY 19.—We beg to inform
you that orders have been received here late to-
day for the immediate equipment of ten sail of the
line. Al. G. is gone out to endeavour if possible to
obtain some clue us to its destination.

" P.S.---M. G. is not yet returned, but Capt. S.
informs us troops will embark in the above.

(Signed)
" For GARRAT and GIBBONA,
" L. THOMAS."

The above letter, on mature examination, i;be-
lieved to be a hoax, as Garrat and Gibbons are the
agents of Lloyds, and other letters from the same
gentlemen are in town, which do not mention a
word on the subject. Besides, we should have
heard of so important an event from other quarters ;
therefore the above letter must have been written for
stock-jobbing purposes. The hand-writing is not
known by the clerk of the North and South Ameri-
can Coffeehouse.

We have arrivals this morning from the Cape of
Good Hope to the 21st of May; also from Calcutta
of the 24th Feb., which is not so late as the last
arrival.

Consols, which left off on Saturday at 89+ 1 for
the account, opened at the same price, and on the
report of ten sail of the line being ordered out they
went down to 894, sellers, but the account not
being credited they resumed their former price.
The capitulation of Silistria is looked on as a
mortal blow to the Turks, and gives to the Russians
the entire command of the Danube; it also adds
30,000 men to the grand Russian army, which no
doubt will blockade Shumla, and proceed on the
main road to Adrianople, for the double purpose of
cutting off all communication with Shumla and
striking terror into the people of Constantinople.
In the Foreign market nothing doing at present.

TWO O'CLOCK.
The speculators beimb now convinced that the
letter from Portsmouth is a forgery, they have
operated with more confidence, and the Consol
market has improved to 891 k for the account, and
899 for August.

tbey write' from Paris 16th July, that a horrid
event took place on the change there; on that day
Richebraque, a traveller to several mercantile
houses, blew out his brains in the open 'Change; he
was much esteemed, and a father of a family. Ex-
treme distress was the cause.
In the Foreign Market but little business doing at
present; it is a holiday at the Bank (the King's
oronation). Exchequer Bills the same as on
Saturday ; Brazil, 57f 4 ; Buenos Ayres, 224 234;

LIVERPOOL, JULY 18.—By the Richard
.Rimmer, Captain CHAMBERS, four Turkish young boys
came passengers,
gel being sent by their parents for the benefit
of an
English education, and intend to proceed to London
in a short time.
On Thursday afternoon a shocking and rather
singular accident took place at a factory opposite the Bee
Hive Publi`-house, in Jervis-street, Aneoat's-lane. A
number of men were employed in hoisting up into one of
rooms, which is occupied by Messrs. PARKER,
theev toper
al bundles Of iron rod of the length of nino or ten
several
a piece. A bundle had been elevated to the height
;f. five stories, and was in the act of being drawn into
the factory, when one of the rods slipped out perpendicu-
larly, and descended upon a young man named Jams
a cotton spinner, out of work, who had volun-
teered his assistance in hoisting the bundles. The sharp
end of the rod entered his shoulder, and passing through
his body came out at the back, beneath the shoulder blade,
and then struck his leg, which it broke in two. He was
immediately carried home to his residence, in German-
street, where be remains without hope of recovery.—

LAWINTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
GOODACRE V. WILKINSON.

The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that in this case,
which was argued some time ago, the question
turned upon the construction of a contract entered
into in July, 1824, on the one side by Messrs.
Goodacre and Buzzard, and on the other by the
defendant, for the sale by the plaintiff to the de-
fendant, of a living in Radnorshire, when it should
become vacant, for the sum of 7,500/. The title
of the plaintiff's was a title not marketable, and
subject to many infirmities; they were desirous of
selling it, such as it was, and the contract was en-
tered into for that purpose. It was impossible to
read it without coming to the conclusion, that all
parties concerned in the contract understood the sale
of the title to be, the title such as it was at the time
the agreement was entered into. The Lord Chief
Justice of the King's Bench had expressed the same
opinion. No imputation of fraud was imputed to
the plaintiffs ; and under these circumstances the
Court felt bound to decree a specific performance
of the contract. The defendant would of course be
entitled to avail himself of all the security and in-
demnity provided by the. deed of agreement, in case
there should not be a conveyance effected to the de-
fendant of the living when it became vacant.
