THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TwRLrB o'CLocr.

The Consol market has a lively appearance this
morning. Consols, which left off yesterday at 88i
88/ for the account, opened at 88/ 89, since which
they have improved to 89 k; some business is
doing, but not to a great extent.
Our information this morning is of a meagre descrip-
tion, there not being any arrivals of consequence.
Montreal Papers to the 3d of July, Quebec to the
2d of July, Halifax to the 27th of June, and Ber-
muda to the 11th June, have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house. The
Montreal Papers state that SirJas. Kemp had arrived
there from Quebec, and had taken up his residence at
the Government house. The Quebec Papers state
that the weather for some time past had been un_
usually dry, and the crops have materially suffered
but on the above date, the Ist of July, heavy and
refreshing rains had fallen, which would improve
the country. The Halifax and Bermuda Papers are
destitute of information. A Mail has arrived from
Vera Cruz, but of an old date.

The only thing doing in the Foreign market is in
Brazil Shares, which have rather improved.
Three per Cent. Consols, ssi 9; Three per Cent. Re-
duced, 891 ; Three and a half per Cent. Reduced,

TWO O'CLOCK.

By the Mexican Mail arrived this morning, we
have received the following letter from the city of
Mexico of the sth June; although the letters are
not of so late a date as previously received by the
last mail, still its contents are interesting in point of
commercial affairs:—

" A tax of five per cent, on Rentes, and a tax OR
Commercial Patents, are now going to be levied for
the immediate improvement of the Revenue; sales
of merchandise continue slow; the law to prohibit
the importation of many articles, published on the
24th May, will not be in force until six months to
come, during which time large importations of them
are expected.
" The Real del Monte Mines continue to produce
less than the weekly expenditure; the United Com-
pany's Mines are proceeding favourably; the Anglo
Mexican produce a good sum weekly, more than the
expenditure."
In the early part of the morning some sales were
made in Money Stock, which rstber lowered the
market from 82if to 88f for the Account, and at
present they may be quoted at 89, and 88i for
Money. It ►e reported westward that the Russians
have positively passed the Balkan. Little business
doing in the Foreign Market. Brazilian, .58f-;

to Viscount MELVILLE, the Right Hon. Sir G. Com-
BUItN, Mr. Secretary BARROW, Captain DUNDA.S, Earl of

officers and persons of note in this neighbourhood, amount-
ing to about 60 in number, on Sunday last, on board the
Falcon yacht, in Barn Pool. The viands, wines, fruits,
&c., were of the most costly and splendid kind, and the.
entertainment throughout evinced that hospitality for
which Lord YARBOROUGH has ever been conspicuous,
either at home or abroad.—Plymouth Journal.

We understand that the New Post Office will
be ready for the transaction of business by the middle of
August. The Inland, Foreign, Two-penny, Ship-letter,
and West India Offices are nearly completed ; as also the
private residence of Sir FRANCIS FREELING. There are
about one hundred painters now at woik, and about half
that number of gas-fitters. The boarding is being d
from the front of the building.--- Weekly Free
Press.

Letters from Cadiz state that since Cadiz was
declared a free port about 17,000 packages of British
manufactured goods have been transferred from Gibraltar
for sale.

A short time ago a gamekeeper in this county
saw a snake and a magpie engaged in " mortal combat."
He shot them both, and has had them stuffed in the atti-
tude in which he first saw them.— Worcester Journal.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
IN THE MATTER OF MISS CATHERINE cnArriti*

ALIAS MRS. CATHERINE DUNN, A LUNATIC.
Mr. RICHARDS appeared upon a petition, P
sented by Miss Elizabeth Chapman, praying Oh
s'
the person of her Sister, the lunatic, might be e
dered to he delivered over to her, until a Comtnigtee
of the person was appointed; and that George Doss
and others, named in the petition, might be Cr:
strained from communicating with or having $llB
intercourse with her. The petition stated that
t;
former petition had been presented, representing t",,
unsound state of mind of the lunatic, and praying
not only for a commission to issue but for an 11:
junction to restrain George Dunn from internlarrii
ing with the then supposed lunatic. Both parts °
the prayer were granted, but the injunction was o°4
late, for Dunn had abstracted the lunatic a daY:,
two before it could be served on him—nannelly,
the 28:h of June last, and married her on the 29t;;
inquisition had been tried on the 30th of J"„
Dist, the result was that this lady had beef
found to beF unsound mind, and incapable
re Of
governing herself atm it'? affairs since the month()
December, 1822
present The LORD CHANCELLOR enquired if .t. 40 present
was not opposed ?
t
Mr. RICHARDS appeared ex-parte, and trus
the Court would not hesitate to make the order ere
parte, calling on Dunn to deliver up the 10050
under the circumstances of this case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—What, an ex -p
order calling on a man to give up his wife !
Mr. RICHARDS—My Lord, she has been found
have been a lunatic since 1822; we have tried the
inquisition with all possible haste, and if your 10.41:1'
ship were to be pleased to put the question to Y°,7;
Commissioner, who is now in Court, I am sure
would tell you that a case of greater profligacy vele
had been brought forward.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—I now recollect tbs„
case. I think the facts that justified me in grif
ing the injunction to prevent the marriage, .0,0110
me in calling on this individual to give her up. I°'

youMr.r order.
RICHARDS—WiII your Lordship permit
vice of the minutes of the order to be consider
good service.
'1 he LORD CHANCELLOR—CertainIy, and -
order itself shall be drawn up immediately.
IN THE MATTER OF THE HON. WM. JERVIS, A gUN

POSED LUNATIC.
Mr. KNIGHT opened two petitions in this mattei:
The first was, the petition of Mr. Hartley, the Olt
citor of the supposed lunatic, stating that he did Oa
believe the supposed lunatic to be of the 'inset
state of mind imputed to him in his fatl7;
Lord St. Vincent's, petition, who prayed It
a Commission, and praying that he wig",
be permitted to visit him on all reasonable occasiellci
so as to be enabled to conduct his defence; epe
the other was that of the Hon. Mrs. Greaves,
supposed lunatic's mother, against the issuing oft",
commission, and praying that medical gentlele7i
might he allowed to visit him for the purpose
certifying upon the state of his mind.
50
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that about
months ago he had, through the medium of J 1
Goodge, to communicate with the supPeseto
lunatic ; on that occasion letters were written I
him by the supposed lunatic, which were at Chid
moment before him, and which in his opinion vieu'l
impress any body who read them that, at least !I,
the time they were written, he was of unsound Ini, '
d,.11
(The letters were then handed down to 1""
Knight, who read them.)
His LORDSHIP then added, that he felt he had:
very unpleasant duty to perform. He was bound '"
take care of this gentleman; but he thought it re!„''
sonable, on behalf of the mother, that medical go-,
tlemen should visit the supposed lunatic before etil ;
further proceeding took place. He desired to bsso
informed who the medical gentlemen nominated t
visit were ?" . I Sir
Mr. KNIGHT said, they were Dr. Haslam and
Andrew Halliday, in company with Mr. King, It(
medical gentleman living in the neighbourhood
the supposed lunatic, who had been in the habit o

attending him.
The LORD CHANCELLOR considered it would
0
better to send only one medical gentleman fr,°,y
London, and therefore desired the parties to ele"
_ _ _

who that gentleman should be. -
Mr. KNIGHT then said they wished to have 1:rd:
Haslam, of Hart-street, Bloomsbury, appoint
This gentleman was then directed to visit the suFoi
posed lunatic on Monday, between the hours
to
nine a.m. and seven p.m., should it he convenient
him, and, if not, as soon afterwards as possible.
_A
Mr. HORNE begged it might not be underst°7
that this was to be an extinguishment of the Pev
tion praying for the commission.
Mr. KNIGLIT fully assented to this. The obserrai
tion had almost led to an eruption on the subject s,
the conduct of the parties concerned on both stile
but
The LORD CHANCELLOR extinguished the taller;
by desiring the gentlemen to recollect he was t"
keeper here.—(Laughter.)

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. A
The VICE-CHANCELLOR this morning disposeunch
more than sixty cause petitions, not one of Ni'Lls
possessed the least feature of public interest.

SESSIONS HOUSE,,WESTMINSTER•

(THIS DAY.)

A Jury were assembled this morning before t'',;
Deputy High Bailiff, F. SMEDLEY, Esq., to aale,,d
the value of certain premises, destined to be Pt9,l'o
down under the Strand Improvement Act. `'b..
the Jury being sworn the Deputy High Bailiff °
served that is consequence of a person on a late
casion representing himself and serving as a jurini-mt
when in fact he was not so, it became necessary
him to ask them separately if they really bore ti!'t
names they answered to. He then called the 15
over again.
Mr. GURNEY then stated to the Jury, that the{
were assembled to assess the value of the interest ",
A. McDougal, Esq. in the houses Nos. 14 anarrt;
Chandos-street, and No. 11, Old Round-court. '1",
value had been arranged by agreement, and it on;
remained for him to call one witness and take
verdict by consent. He then called James Whtteg
to speak to the value, and a verdict for 3,000/. //-
then agreed on.
Another Jury were next called on to assess tt:
value of the interest of William Pocknell, in igt;
shell-fish shops No. 134, St. Martin's-lane, and
473, Strand. Hackney coaches being provit4ci,
they went to view the premises. The value °-
laid by the claimant at 13,804/.
The Counsel for the claimant in this case were'
Mr. Common Serjeant DENMAN, Mr. C. PHILLI',,; t
and Mr. PLATT; and for the Commissiotfer,
.
of Woods and Forests, Mr. GURNEY and lur
SHEPPARD.
On the return of the Jury, Mr. Common tfer:
jeant DENMAN addressed them on behalf of 1'1;
Pocknell. He first alluded to the leases of the 151
houses; that of St. Martin's-lane was granted ;0
1820 for 14 years, at 70/. per year. He bad gi'fe,d
1891. for the lease, and the expences would br
the amount to about 2001. He dated his 'fp
on this from 1827, which was in fact the time W" ."„f
he commenced receiving injury under this .Aet,
Parliament. The next question would be the Yea'°,,
of the lease of the house, 473, Strand.
of course, with this house, claimed. for 0.0•11",
pensatton for the remainder of his lease. '-
became possessed of this lease in 1820.1
It cost him 740/. besides expencei. The Leonel
Gentleman then went over the items of the sale °.
oysters, lobsters, salads, craw-fish, shrimps, paw"
the
dried salmon, and a number of other articles,
interest in the sale of which for three years would,
he contended, be worth the sum claimed. He then
called several surveyors to prove the value of Pi',

eas
and.a great many shopmen and fish salesmen
t? Prove the consumption and sale of the above ar-
„,teles, which amounted to the sum claimed. The
'I was expected to last the whole of the day.
