THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
Accounts from Liverpool to the 14th December,
state that the sales of Cotton on the above day
amounted to 2,000 bales, with a more firm market
than last week. There was a very large arrival dur-
ing the week of ships, with timber from Canada,
New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. This circum-
stance had, however no tendency to depress the
price, but on the contrary.
" PANIPATAN IN COLOMBIA A FREE PORT.
'4 SIMON BOLIVAR, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF

COLOMBIA.

" Whereas the Island of Margarita, because of
the sterility of the soil, the ravages of war, and the
considerable diminution of its population, is re-
duced to such a miserable state as to be rendered
almost useless to itself and to the Republic; and
whereas the Government, to extricate it from the
degradation into which it has fallen, decrees, that
all goods, wares, and merchandize which are not
prohibited by the law, or which are not contraband
in Colombia, shall have free ingress into the port of
Pampatan except from the duties prescribed for the
other ports ; the Island of Margarita will remain
wholly closed for all foreign and domestic commerce."
Advices from Tampico, of the 11th of October,
state that the fever and dysentery were making great
ravages amongst the Spanish troops.
Accounts from Curacoa, received at New York in
16 days, state that between the 23d and 28th Oct.,
the weather in that island had been ♦ery bad. One
man-of-war broke adrift, and some considerable in-
jury was anticipated in the country.
TILE FUNDS.
Our arrivals to-day are very few, and not worth
observation; but it is stated that an express has ar-
rived from Paris, no doubt bringing the prices of the
French Rrntes, which have not yet transpired, and
Consols opened at the same price they left off yes-
terday, 941- for the Account, with scarce a bar-
gain doing.
The Foreign Market is void of interest as yet.—
Prices nominal.

TWO O'CLOCK.
The Consol Market remained during the whole
~. the morning without a feature worth observation
at 944 a for the Account; but within the last quar-
ter of an hour the Market took a turn, and Consols
receded to 944 This change is attributed to the
French Funds coming lower. The information by the
Express from Paris has not as yet transpired, con•
sequently we cannot state as positive the above re-
port.
The Commissioners purchased this morning in
the 34 per Cents. and Reduced, but not to a great
amount, of which there was about 600 Bonds for
the Life Annuities.

mproved.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY,

COURT OF CHANCERY.
lIODGES V. HORSFALI.
The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this appeal
from an order of the Vice-Chancellor, the present Master
of the Rolls. Mr. Horsfall was the owner of certain
premises at Battle-bridge, for the sale of the lease of which
he entered into a treaty with Mr. Hodges. Fifteen hun-
dred pounds was to be given for the lease, which was to
be for 31:yeats from Midsummer, 1824 ; the rent was to be
801. a year. Mr. Hodges was to make certain repairs and
additions, and a plan of such repairs, &c. was said to have
been agreed upon. A demur took place, and Mr. Horsfall
filed a bill against Mr. Hodges for a specific performance,
according to a given plan. This bill was dismissed. Mr.
Hodges next filed a bill against Mr. Horsfall for a spe-
cific performance according to another plan. It did not
appear that any definite plan had been distinctly agreed
upon, although two or three plans had been at different
times the subject of conversation between the parties,
therefore the Vice-Chancellor thought this bill ought to
follow the fate of the others ; in which the Court upon this
appeal concurred in the propriety of.—The order of the
Master confirmed with costs.
DUNSTON V. APPOLD.
The Court directed au issue to be tried in the Court of
Common Pleas, to ascertain whether Mr. Giles had acted
as the agent of Mr. Dunston, or on his own account,
respecting the houses Nos. 40 and 41, at Chelsea.
IN RE WHITE AND METCALF, BANKRUPTS.
The Court proceeded to hear the arguments in this
matter in support of the act of bankruptcy.
