THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.
Consols closed yesterday at 814 4, but were afterwards done in
the Alley at 814 ; this miming, op the opening, the first price
was 814 4, but they soon went up to 814 4, and were after-
wards done at 814 ; a reaction then took place, occasioned by the
Bulls retiring, when they receded to 914 4; they are now 814
both for account and money. We have again to report a further
improvement in India Bonds, they are 51 3 pm. ; Exchequer
Bills, on the ontrary, are without any alteration, being 29 30
pm. In the 'Foreign Funds, the rise in Colombian and Mexican
has not been maintained, the former having fallen to 364, and
the latter t0e654 6 ; Brazilian have risen to 62 3 ; and Portu-
guese to 76 7-; Peruvian Bonds are also rather higher, and may
be qu0tet1,44.40 5, from a report that the Tobacco duty is appro-
priated spectrally for the payment of the dividends ; Russian. Stock
is also steady at 884 4 ; and Spanish, 124 4. In Shares, Bra-
zilian have started, from a discount of 324 to 11 24 pm. A
meeting of the Shareholders will take place to-day, and if the
proprietors can but agree among themselves, an improvement in
the price may reasonably be expected.

A NEW SONG,
TO BE SUNG BY DOCTOR BORTHWICK GILCHRIST.

Tune—" The Three Jolly Pigeons."

They may talk of their Greek and their Latin,
Their Spanish, Italian, and French ;
But I, Doctor Gilchrist, the Brahmin,
(In league with my friend, Colonel Trench),
Sing hey, Hindostanee for ever,
Oh that's the improvement for me ;
No man can be witty or clever,
Or learned without it, I see.

Mr. Brougham with his besom is sweeping
Each old ignoramus away ;
And we, toe, why should we be sleeping
When intellect marshals the way ?
Our tradesmen, our servants, our porters,
Our laundresses, footmen, and cooks,
Shall all be, like Solomon's daughters,
Deep read in our Bengalee* books.
A Court will be held on the morrow,
When Joseph is sure to attend,
And the public will hear to their sorrow,
A speech of three hours upon end.
"shall move as my first proposition,
That sailors should swear in Hindoo,
While soldiers shall utter sedition
In like phraseology too.

I will rival the language of Babel,
The tongues of each clime I'll confuse,
By which not a soul shall be able
State secrets to tell or abuse.
No man shall make out what another
Is saying or doing—or whether
'Tis right or 'tis wrong—to save pother
We'll all be unmeaning together.
Our Lushington stoutly shall cackle,
His nouns, pronouns, verbs, and all that ;
To his school shall a second time tackle,
And read Hindostanee quite pat.
How good_to behold him with Grammar,
And ponderous class-book in hand,
(That fine intellectual hammer
For clenching the brains of the land.)
If this, my first point, I should gain,
There is nought that shall stop me next year
(When all must this language attain,)
From making my lessons more dear.
I hope still to see the Directors,
The Court of Proprietors, too,
Like valiant grammatical Hectors,
Compelled all to conquer Hindoo.
Huzza than, for old Hindostanee,
Down, down with the Latin and Greek,
I will teach e'en my little dog Fanny
To bark Bengalee in a week.
So hey Hindostanee for ever,
Oh that is the language for me;
No man can be witty or clever,
Or learned without it, I see.

* After a course of Dr. Gilchrist's lecture!, our Correspondent
will, no doubt, pronounce this more correctly.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THI8 DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR came into Court at eleven o'clock.
WARD OF CANCERY.
GRAY V. DICKINSON.

In this case, in which there wu a petition presented yesterday.
for the confirmation of the Master's report, approving of the mar-
riage of a ward,
His LORDSHIP said, he had read the papers. It appeared that
the lady had a very considerable fortune, both in possession and in
reversion, but it did not seem that the young man had a shilling.
It was stated that he was a surgeon, and, in that character, might
be a very respectable person. It had been likewise stated at the
bar, that his father was a surgeon ; that he meant to take
the young man into partnership with him, and that ultimately
he intended resigning his business in favour of his son. But the
Court could not he persuaded that the father ought to leave
the Court to determine, on such evidence as it had, that the father
would so deal with his son. If the father wished his son to enter
into partnership with this young woman, he ought to take him
into partnership with himself instanter; if he did that, the Court
would not object to the marriage ; but if he did not, it could not
allow its wards to be taken away by whoever pleased to ask for
them, without such persons having either an establishment of any
kind, or any thing else in the world.
Mr. WAKEFIELD said he would communicate what had now
been stated to the parties in the country, and hoped the Court
would allow him to mention it again.
His LORDSHIP had no objection ; and, if the father established
the eon now, as a partner with him, Ric. the Court might relax
