THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.

The physicians in attendance upon the Earl of
LIVERPOOL assembled in consultation at tw&ve
o'clock this day at the Noble Earl's house, in White-
hall, which lasted but a short time, his Lordship being
considered much better. The following favourable
bulletin was issued :

" Fife House, March 1.
" Lord Liverpool, after having passed another good night, has
gained some ground since yesterday." ,

THE FUNDS-(1 MS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.
Consols opened at 82i both for money and account, and
continued at that price for some time, when they evinced some
weakness and were done at 82k, but have recovered to 82k I,
looking heavy. The arrival of the British packet at Falmouth
from New York has, it is said, brought rather unexpected intel-
ligence ; she sailed on the 6th inst., and it is said at that time the
Americans were busy in equipping their Navy with the utmost
dispatch, and report added, that it was intended to make re-
prisals against the French. We are aware that there is a long
outstanding claim of the American Government on France for
spoliations during the late war, and having succeeded with the
English Government, it may be possible they are inclined to bluster
a little, but we confess we are not prepared for such a demonstra
tion. The report occasioned some sensation, but for its truth we
do not vouch. India Bonds are 54 6 ; and Exchequer Bills, 34 6
pm. The Foreign Funds have scarcely any movement in them,
and prices, if any thing, are rather lower ; Mexican Bonds, 67
Colombian, 384 9 ; Buenos Ayres, 50 5. The state of the finances
of this Government are in a deplorable condition, making
this security look extremely heavy ; and should they not be able
to effect a peace throUgh the medium of British interference, it is
likely it will not support the present price, In Shares, Anglo
Mexican are lower, the discount having increased on them to 35 ;
Real del Monte, on the contrary, are 90 pm.
Three per Cent. Consols, 82k ; Ditto for account, 82k ;
India Bonds, 54 6 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 34 6 pm.
FOREIGN FUNDS.—Brazilian, 651 6 ; Buenos Ayres, 50 5 ;
Chilian, 36 8 ; Colombian, 1824, 384 9 ; Danish, 61 ;

guese, 76i 7 ; Peruvian, 34 6 ; Greek, 16 ; Russian, 89 ;
Spanish, 13 1.

Brazilian, 4 5 pm. ; Bolivar, par, 1 pm. ; Colombian, 18
19 per Share ; Potosi, 30 2 per Share.

Two o' Clock.

Consols have been very heavy, and are now 81i 82, occasioned
by the report above mentioned from America. The Foreign
Funds are flat, arising from the depression in the English Funds.
Mexican, 672 ; Colombian,- SBi.

sured.

CONFIRMATION OF THE ELECTION OF Tilt

NEW BISHOPS.

This being the day appcint.d for the performance of the cere-
monial consequent upon the Election of Dr. Kaye, the Bishop of
Bristol, to the See of Lincoln, and of Dr. Lloyd, the Regius
Professor of Divin::: at Oxford, to the See of Oxford, the new
Bishops arrived at the Advocate's Hall, Doctors' Commons, at
11 o'clock, where they tendered their acceptation of the vacant
Bishopricks, and their assent to election made by the Deans and
Chapters of the two Cathedrals, before Sir John Nicholl, the
Judge of the Arches Court.
The Bishops 'hen proceeded to Bow Church, the ancient Court of
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and after the reading of the
Morning Prayers, they came forward successively to a table
placed in the middle of the aisle, attended by their proxies, and
took the usual oaths, against heresy, simony, &c. The Cryer
then made proclamation in the usual form, and invited all persons
who had any objection to make to the appointment of the new
Bishops, to cone forward ; and no person having appeared, the
Proxies for the Deans and Chapters of Lincoln and Oxford,
prayed, the Vicar• General of the Diocese of Canterbury (Dr.
Arnold), to confirm the election of the New Bishops, which
was done with the usual formalities, and their Lordships with-
drew.
The Lord Bishop of Lincoln will hold an Ordination at Christ
College, Cambridge, on Sunday the 11th of this month. The
candidates will he examined by Archdeacon Bonner, at Buckden
Palace, on the Thursday preceding.

EQUITABLE ASSURANCE OFFICE.
(THIS DAY.)

At a General Meeting of Proprietors held t'.i, day, the motion
for the payment to the representatives of deceased mem-
bers, the amount of their claims at the end of three
instead of six months after they are proved to the sa-
tisfaction of the Court of Directors, was again carried by
a large majority. It is therefore hoped, that no means will be
adopted to defeat what clearly appears to be the opinion and wishes
of the great body of Proprietors ; and that the resolution passed
to-day will be confirmed at the next General Court, intended to
be holden soon for that purpose.
At the same Court the increase of the annual allowance to the
Directors, to the sum of 1,5001., was carried, as well as the aug-
mentation of the allowance to the Auditors to five guineas each ;
and of the salary and annual gratuity to the Actuary, from 1,500/.
to 2,000/. per annum.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

HABEAS CORPUS.

In this matter the question was, whether the bankrupt was to
be discharged in consequence of an imperfect return upon the
warrant of commitment ? The part in doubt was, where the
return stated, that when the bankrupt was brought before the
Commissioners, the following questions were put to him :
and to which he gave the following answers, thus putting both
questions and answers in the plural number, though only one
question and one answer followed, which answer having been
considered unsatisfactory to the Commissioners, they committed.
His Lordship declared that the Statute was most express, that all
the questions should be set out ; and as the return here stated,
that questions had been put to the bankrupt, and yet, that only one
question appeared, he felt bound to discharge the bankrupt, which
he accordingly did.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
HITCH V. BARTLET AND OTHERS.

A motion was made in this case with the view of ascertaining
whether there really exists such a person as Elizabeth Hitch, the
plaintiff on the record, or whether she is a fictitious person, set up
by the husband of a testatrix, for the purpose of getting posses-
sion of the property of his late wife. The case has already
been four times before the Court, but as the proceedings have been
in a great measure ex-parte, we have refrained from reporting
them. It was again mentioned this morning, when
The VICE-CHANCELLOR directed that it should stand over in
order to give the plaintiff's attorney an opportunity of stating on
his affidavit, what were the representations made to him by his
client when she gave him his instructions, where she then said that
she was residing, and such further circumstances as would enable
the Court to come to a satisfactory conclusion on the subject.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
FRESHFIELD V. KAYE.

This was an action to recover from the defendant the sum of
175/., which the plaintiff lost in shares in the London Brick
Company, the defendant having guaranteed him against any loss.
It appeared that the defendant, who was solicitor to the above
Company, wrote a letter to the plaintiff, stating, that he would
indemnify him in any loss he might sustain, in lending to
a Captain Overhand 2001. on 200 shares in the said Company,
if he would not sell the shares without the consent of Captain
Overhand. The plaintiff accordingly lent the zura required,
and Captain Overhand died in a short time after, and the plaintiff
sold the shares for 251. being less by 1751. than what he had lent
on them. These facts having been established by evidence, it
appeared that Captain Overhand's christian name was stated
in the record, William, whereas his real name was Wilson.
—This proved a fatal variance and the plaintiff was nonsuited.

COURT OF CONDELEGATES.
BEST V. BEST.

In this case, which had stood over for a considerable time, Dr.
LUSHINGTON, for the appellant, prayed the Court to let the assig-
nation stand over to the first day of neat Term.
Mr. GLIENNIII, the Respondent's Proctor, said he had no ob-
jection to the motion.
Dr. JENNER (who presided) thought the Court had a right to
see that a suit was not improperly held over the head of the wife,
with liberty to the husband to proceed when he chose.
Dr. LIJSHINGTON said, that Mrs. Best received alimony to the
amount of 6001. a-year, which was regularly paid. She would
suffer nothing, therefore, by the uption which be prayed.
The case was o:(lered to stand over to the first day of next
Term.—The Court then adjourned.
