Lord ST. LEONARDS, in a speech of considerable
length, called the attention of the house to certain pro-
visions in the bid now before the lower house for the
commutation of South Sea Annuities, which he con-
tended would be most injurious to suitors in the Court
of Chancery.

The Earl of ABERDEEN complained of the subject
being brought on without notice, but promised to convey
to the Chancellor of the Exchequer the objections made
by the noble lord.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave some explanations
on the subject; and the discussion ended by some papers'
for which Lord St. Leonardo had moved, being laid on
the table.
Lord LYNDHURST then brought under the notice of
the house the case of the Baron de Bode ; and moved a
resolution, the effect of which was earnestly to recoa►'
mend the case of the petitioner to the favourable conside*
ration of Her Majesty's Government.

FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.

Some sales of Consols, and the continued unsettled state 01
the Eastern question, caused a decline of per cent to-day, and
at the close, on various rumours of lower prices from Paris,
there was a further decline of Railway Shiites heavy. In
Bank and Mining Shares there is no material change. Foreign
market flat, and little doing.
