CLIIPORD tf. WINIC4.
This was an action of trespass for hreakinr and j
entering s church pew claimed-by the 'Plaintiff, in
respect of a grant by a fnrmer Incumbent of the pa..
vial], of which the Defendant was the tortgseet Rector.
At the Spring Mikes last year at crtoucestar, the
Plaintiff bad a verdict subject to the opinion of the
Court upon a case.
Mr. CAMPBELL argned the case tot the Plaintiff, sod
?dr. OSBORNE for the Defendant.
The Plaintiff, by virtue of a conveyance to his family
by the fnrmer Rector, of a seat and place of sepal-
dire in the chancel of the church, claimed the pew in
question, and the question was, whetbir the former
Rector was authorised to make a conweyance in pre.
jadiee of the present Incumbent; and the Court held,
that he had not, and, therefore, gave judgment for
the Defendant.

This was an action epee a bastardy bond, against
de Defendant as surety, to recover the amount of •
Certain number of weeks maintenance, and other
exitance, incurred in the support of an illegitimate
child of a person named John Lawrence; the DP.
(evident pleaded, first, won est factunt, and second
a certificate coder a Commission of Bankrupt,
whereby it was alleged, thit the action was barred.
At the trial before Mr. .1 %WIC, Bayley, in the sitting.;
at Westminster, after lest Michaelmas Term, the,
the Plaintiffs had a verdict, subject to the opinion of
the Court upon a case. The (motion was, whether
an action coold be soied upon the bond, for the
sum which had accrued flue before the Defendant's
bankruptcy, or whether the Defendant's bankruptcy
and certificate did not operate as a discharge of his

liability.
The cue was argued by Mr.TADDY, for the Plain-
tiffs, and by Mr• Cluny fur the Defendant, and it
was contended by the former, that as the bond was a
contingent indemnity, it was not barred by the certi-
ficate, because the demand was continuing, and no
precise value could be put upon it under the Com-
mission.
Th. Court were of opinion, upon principle, au-
thority, end policy, that the action was maintainable,
and therefore gave—Judgment for the Plaintiffs.

by compass W. by S. (wind E. S. E.) distant ■bout
five miles, standing to the Southward, appear.
ed to be a man of war. At nine A. M. fresh
breezes, saw the schooner disappear on our starboard
beam, and apparently go down, stern foremost.—
We supposed her to have struck on the Codling Bilk,
bore away to close her. At 9, 30, found ourselves
in a heavy ripple of a tide, the sea breaking round
us; hauled our wind to the Southward. At 10 A.M.
saw the Richmond Revenue schooner ; made a signal
to her; she tacked towards us; at noon spoke he►,
and advised the Captain of the sudden disappearance
of the other schooner; we then bore away and made
sail.

A mesleng•r from CIIKISTOPIIE is said to have ar-

The repot t of a person at Dover having contracted

ternoon. llis Grace will, it is said, return about the
end-of this month.
A new aerostatic experiment is. about to be made
wjth *larger balloon than was. ever yet seen in Paris.
We learn from Lille that M. de Maubreuil escaped
on the Ist instant, at six in the evening, from the
prison at Douay, where he was confined.
The report in yesterday's Papers of the death of
M. Goopy, sen. is unfounded.
MADRID, DEC. 24.—The Russian Minister, M.
de Tatischeft, returned here from Cadiz, and after
staying here a few hours, set out again for that port,
to wait the arrival of the Russian squadron.
The crews of the Russian ships are to be lodged
for some days in the barracks of the new village of
San Carlos, near the arsenal et Carom, in the Isle
of Leon.
BERLIN, Dec. 20.—According to intelligence from
Russia, the Emperor Alexander will not proceed
direct to Warsaw. Ile will quit Moscow about the
end of March or beginning of April, and proceed to
the coasts of the Black Sea. Ifs Imperial Majesty
will visit Choczim end Kammiesk, in Ladolia, and
afterwards proceed in Warsaw. The Imperial Fa-
mily will remain at Moscow till the autumn of 1818,
and the accouchernent of the Grand Duchess Nicholas
will take place there.
None of the letters from Russia •or Poland make
any mention of a new journey of the Emperor Alex-
ander to Germany ; and the report of a Congress at
Spa, or elsewhere. at which the Allied Sovereigns
are to *Rend, is discredited.
FRANKFORT. JAN. I.—There is a report of a new
and more intimate alliance being in contemplation
between all the Christian Powers of Europe, founded
upon the principles of the Billy Alliance.
VIENNA, DEC. 21.—1 t appears that our Court and
that of Berlin have come to a perfect understanding
es to the great objects to be discussed in t ermanic
Diet, and that they will give uniform instructions to
their Ministers in that Assembly. The Military
affairs of Germany, the Representation in the States
of the Germanic Confederation, the system to be
adopted with respect to the I.iberty of the Press, and
other points of importance, will be arranged by agree-
ment between the two Ceutrs.

LONDON:

SATURDAY. SETTETASSR 5, 1618.

STATE OF TUE FUNDS.

The Funds advanced full 1 per Cont. yesterday-
afternoon, In con'equence of the pacific character of
the American Papers received during the day.—
They continued upon the rise for some time
after the opening of the market to.day, but have
since declined I per Cent. At one o'clock yesterday,
Consols for the October Account were 74f. This
morning they were 76}, and the present price Is
75k—Two o'Clock:

Another wholesale and pompous statement Is put
forth by the Government Prints, of the flourishing
state of the Revenue. Whilst the Funds are lower
than they hive been for a considerable period, and
confidence seems to have been unhappily lost in re.
gard to financial affairs, we are told " the excess of
Revenue in the present gender, beyond that in the
corresponding quarter of last year, will be near one
, million and a half." The Papers that used to con-
sider the rise of the Funds as a proof of the internal
prosperity of the country, now afford no information
whatever respecting the cause of the depression of the
Stocks in the midst of all this increasing wealth to the
State. They are quite dumbfounded on the subject.
Did they possess any candour, they would now as.
iume the opposite of their former argument, and tell
us they are mistaken, for it is of the nature of inter.
nal prosperity to lower the Funds, seeing an increase
of trade demands an augmentation of capital, and that
in proportion to the prospect of a wore profitatale chan-
nel of employment for money, the salt% in the Stock-
market nil>, be expected to increase. The rise of the
Foreign Funds too might account in some degree for
the depression of our own, and be made to show the
growing extent of our foreign commerce; but it
'is an awkward predicament for a Treasury writer
to be obliged to acknowledge that Capitalists
will naturally prefer an employment for their
Funds which yields five or ten per cent: instead
of that which gives but three and a half; or that
capital should be under the necessity of seeking any
foreign investment, to the disadvantage of the do.
mestic sources of our profit. 66 Nothing," we are
informed, "can be more promising than the general im.
provement of the national resources." This state-
ment, be it remarked, is made at a time when
the manufacturing population of England are
declaring that they cannot live upon the wages
they are receiving for their labour, and when
their employers are solemnly protesting that
the prices received for these goods are not such es
to enable them to afford any additional payment for
their fabrication. It is a moat mortifying considera-
tion, though there is nothing new in it, that whilst the
national resoorces are thus improving in such a degree,
that " the produce, this quarter, is expected to be
near Fourteen Million: and a Quarter, being almost
