THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.
Consols left off, at the close of business yesterday, at
821, buyers, and opened this morning at 821, soon after
which they dropped to 821 1, but recovered to 821 1, and
are now 821, and higher for May, with a very limited
quantity of business doing. The premiums on India Bonds
and Exchequer Bills are still on the rise, the former being
64 6, and the latter, 44 6. Mexican Bonds are steady at
691 ; Colombian, 1824, 401 1. The long looked for
Arrival of his Majesty's ship Tweed begins to occasion some
anxiety, particularly as the wind has been fair for some
time ; the delay may probably be caused by the prevalence
of north west winds, which blow, at this season of the year,
on the Mexican Coast, and particularly at Tampico.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
BOWES V. STRATHMORE.

This case was desired to be spoken to to-day for a quar-
ter of an hour by one Counsel on a side. It was called on,
and this quarter being a Chancery quarter, it occupied dis-
cussion at the bar for one hour and three quarters ; at the
conclusion,

His LORDSHIP observed, that it was a consolation to
him to have felt that, though he had desired this dis-
cussion to take place for his assistance, yet that not a
topic bad been touched upon that had not occurred to
his own mind while ruminating on the case. Upon
'the marriage of the present Earl of Strathmore with
his late Lady, then Miss Carpenter, a settlement of her pro-
perty was made. By that settlement she retained a life in-
terest in it, and after providing a subsequent interest for her
husband, and eldest son, if there was one younger child,
that child was to have 4,0001. taken out of the
mother's property, on her _marriage, or attaining
twenty-one, with a reserved power of appointment
by deed in will in Lord Strathmore ; and the question
cow before the Court upon a petition was, whether Lady
Mary Willis, having attained her majority, and being the
only younger child, was entitled to call for the immediate
payment of the 4,0001. On the one hand it was con-
tended, that she had not such a rested interest in the pro-
perty as to enable her to call for its payment, whilst the
power remained in her father to execute an appointment
for the payment to. her at any period not exceeding 21
years after his death.. On the other hand, it was sub-
mitted that as the property never had been her father's,
and her mother being dead, he had no right to interpose
against her claim to have the sum paid to her immediately.
His LORDSHIP had read over the deed of settlement—
he was quite sure, at least 50 times, and a more confused,
ambiguous, and obscure deed, in its terms throughout, he
was confident had never been submitted nor approved of
by a Master in this Court. He would, however, read it
over once more, and dispose of the case in judgment on
Saturday. He certainly considered the old law to be that
a younger child is such a case as this, could not call for
the payment of her fortune, settled as it was in this case,
whilst the parent was alive and had the power of appoint-
ment.
