THE FUNDS. A great depression has been experienced this morn ing in the price of Stock. Consols are heavy, at 70% for the Account; and, from the immense quan tity offered for sale, for which purchasers could not be found at an eighth below the Market price,' a further fall is expected. There appears to be a' ' g eneral dismay among the monied men, owing, it is sa id, to an expectation entertained that the opening o f Parliament will produce some important events which will materially affect the general interests of the Country.

The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday arrived this forenoon. The Chamber of Peers have passed unanimously the Project of Law transmitted from the Chamber o f Deputies, for the provisional collection of six twelfths of the direct Revenue for the current year. The latest accounts from Madrid state, that the suppression of the refractory Debating Clubs had been followed with the greatest tranquillity. On the 31st December, the frigate Constitution had arrived at Cadiz from Vera Cruz and the Havannali, with eight merchant vessels under her convoy, richly laden. The Deputies from Mexico to the Congress, thirty in number, have arrived in these vessels. They are said to be all distinguished for the liberation of their opinions, and for their attachment to the new system of thins. The King of NAPLES arrived, on the 30th of December, at Bologin, in the Roman States. His MAJESTY had dispatched Prince BATERA to Vienna, to announce to the Emperor FRANCIS that he ex pected to be at Laybach on the sth. The EMPEROR bad accordingly made preparations for being there on the night of the 4th, to receive the King of NAPLES on his arrival. The Emperor ALEXANDER was also expected to be at Laybach before the sth. He is accompanied by the whole of his Ministers, NESSEL• RODE, CA PO D'ISTRIA, Pozzo DI BORGO, GOLOWKIN, and OJERIL. The Constitutionnel mentions a report that Sir HENRY WELLESLEY, our Ambassador at Madrid, is to succeed Lord STEWART, at Vienna. French Five per Cents. Friday, 80fr. 15c. Frankfort Papers to the Bth instant arrived yester day. The following is the only article in them that has not been anticipated from other sources: 4 d VIENNA, DECEMBER 30. " However the negociation with the King of Naples may two out, it is affirmed, by some persons, that at all events our Asstrian Army of Observation will occupy the fortresses of the kingdom of Naples for five or six years. The Northern Powers, u u added, are perfectly agreed on tbis measure, which is deemed oteessary to the security of all Italy." We gave yesterday, from a private letter, an anti cipatory view of the contents of the Annual Report on the American Finances, transmitted by the Secre tary of the Treasury to Congress. We have since seen the document itself. The view which it pre sents of the Public Income and Expenditure is not very flattering to the nation. The total income for 1820 is stated at about 20,000,000 dollars. There remained in hand at the end of 1819 a little more than two millions of dollars, leaving a total deficit upon the year just elapsed, of above 2,600,000 dol lars. There was paid off, of the Pnblic Debt, 10,740,000 dollars, being above two-fifths of the total expenditure of the year. New loans are recom mended in preference to new taxes, as a provision for the wants of the ensuing year. Prince Cairraw, Ambassador from the Constitu tional Government of Naples at this Court, but who, from the impolicy of Ministers, has not had an au dience of his MAJESTY, yesterday received a letter from the King of NAPLES, written by his •wn hand, requiring his immediate attendance at Laybach, to assist him in the conferences he bas to endure with the despotic Sovereigns there assembled. The Prince sets out on the journey forthwith. By the Phoenix, Captain WEYwrow, a Mauritius Paper of the 30th of September has arrived, which contains a speech delivered by his Excellency Gover nor FARQUHAR to the General Assembly of Com merce, and of the inhabitants of that Island, upon the deprecia:ed state of the currency, which he found, on his return from this country, had sunk to a discount of 36 per cent. upon its nominal value. He declares the Bank, however, to be in a state of undoubted sol vency, and suggests remedies for the removal of the tril of a depreciated paper currency. BRIGHTON, JANUARY 15. Yesterday, after Divine Service was performed at the Palace, in the presence of th e K ING , P r i ncess AUGUSTA, Royal Suite and Household, as usual, by the Dean of HEREFORD, his MAJESTY pursued his accustomed walk, and her Royal Highness her salu tary carriage ride. Friday evening, the Earl and Countess of WAR. wroc, and Mr. and Lady ANN BECKETT, had the honour of being included in the Palace visiting party. The domestics of the Palace were made happy on Friday, by their illustrious, considerate, and gene rous Master— they were allowed to invite their , friends to a Supper and Ball, in the Steward's moth of the Palace ; and as sumptuous, as enthusiastically enjoyed, were the provisions and arrangements for the occasion.

CAKRICKFIRGUS, Jata 6.—Friday, about one o'clock, as the boats of this town were returning from the fishery, in conse quence of the swell, a sea struck one of them on the bow, when she filled with water and immediately upset. Five of the sir who composed her crew have thus, at an early age, been over whelmed in a watery grave. Thcy were all enabled to remain for some time on the keel of the boat, and what must have been their feelings, when in this state, to see a sloop pass within musket-shot, without offering the slightest assistance, though they saw the men on deck :—shortly after three of them were washed from the boat. The only survivor, James Jack, with the other two, still held on, when the Bell, of Irvinv, passed, and the Master perceiving their distress, with the greatest hu manity, used every exertion in his power to extricate them from their perilous situation, but, from their exhausted state (having been nearly an hour in the water), and their struggles for self preservation, after one had laid hold of the rope thrown out for their assistance, the other seized him, and thus both were un fortunately lost. Jack, however, was safely taken on board, and, by the kindness of the Master and crew, restored to the bosom of a distracted family. The following are the names of the sufferers, and the families they have left to depend on the bounty of a humane Public for subsistence, as they were each the sole support of his family:—Thomas Davison has left a wife and two children ; William Laird, a wife and tour children ; William M'Cappin, a wife and three children (none of their children above eight years of age); William Jack, a widowed mother, a brother, and sister ; Wm. Morrison, a widowed mo ther, and a sister about 16.

It is now understood that Ministers tendered their resignations immediately after the failure of the Bill of Pains and Penalties ; but were prevailed on to re tain them. Should the arrangement which they mean to propose for the QUEEN, on the Meeting of Parliament, not meet the support of a decided ma jority of the House of Commons, it is said they are determined to remain no longer in office. Lord CASTLEREAGH has signified his intention of again taking up his residence at his house in St. James's-square, and preparations have been making there for his immediate reception throughout the past week. His Lordship and Lady CASTLEREAGH have been spending the two or three last days on a visit to the Duke of WELLINGTON, at Strathfieldsay. The Parisians have distinguished themselves by their liberal patronage of Mademoiselle NALDI, on her re cent irreparable loss. M, VIOTTI, Director of the ,4ca demie Royale de Mueique, gave a night at the Opera for the benefit of this young Lady. Though tl a prices of admission to every part of the Theatre Louvois were doubled, the house was crowded. The KING sent a thousand francs, the Duchess of BERRY, the Dcc D'ORLEANS, and several English persons of dis tinction, sent five hundred francs each for a box ; so that, though the Theatre Louvois is small, the receipt I was not less than from ten to twelve thousand francs. :~-~- PITT CLUB OF SCOTLAND. On Friday last, the. Pitt Club of Scotlarid held their annual dinner, in the Assembly .Rooms, George: street, Edinburgh. In the large room nearly 500 sat down to dinner, the Marquis of HUNTLif in the Chair, and the Marquis of LOTHIAN Croupier.— About 200 dined in a smaller room, where Sir WALTER SCOTT presided. The cloth being removed, the Noble Chairman rose and gave-- The King—Three times three—Tune, " King's Anthem." The Royal Family—Three times three—Tune, " Fye, let us a' to the bridal."

PRINCIPAL, in returning thanks, men tioned, as a proof of the continuing prosperity of the University of Edinburgh, that this session it reckons not less than 2,000 students—a greater number, he believed, than any University in Europe could ever boast of. The Liberties of the People, and may they never be crushed by despotism, or destroyed by democracy. _ _ Old Times—and the Bard who has awakened the spirit of our forefathers—Sir Walter Scott.—Drank with three times three and great applause. May we always be sensible of our blessings as a People, and ready to defend them—Tune, " Fight about the fireside. " - Lord FORBES would propose a toast, which had often been given by the great man whose memory they were celebrating : The land we live in; and those who don't him it may leave it.—Tune,' , Cheap meal" The CHAIRMAN then gave— The memory of the Right lion. Spencer Perceval, the steady and able supporter of Mr. Pitt—ln silence. About eleven o'clock, Sir WALTER SCOTT, accom panied by a number of Gentlemen, entered from the other room, with which a friendly intercourse had been kept up by deputations throughout the evening. Sir WALTER was received with general acclamation. The Noble Marquis again proposed the health of " The Bard who had awakened the spirit of our fore fathers," which was drank with enthusiasm. Sir WALTER Scorr gave the health of " The Chief who had shewn his People the manners of his forefathers." A number of excellent songs were sung in the course of the evening, the Noble Chairman having himself set the example by the air of " Ever happy, ever gay ;" which he sung with great taste and spirit: The Marquis continued to enliven the Meeting till an early hour, when the members separated. The King's Theatre is about to be opened under the management of a Committee of Noblemen. Dr. AYRTON is to direct the Musical Department. The Oratorios of the ensuing Leat are to be con ducted upon an enlarged scale. Those of Drury- Lane under the direction of the celebrated Sir GEORGE SMART, and those at Covent-Garden under the superintendence of the scientific Mr. BISHOP. The Church of St. Dunstan in the East, Which has of late been entirely rebuilt, with the exception of the spire, which reflects such immortal honour on the genius of Sir CrtaisroPriEß Wan', was opened on Sunday last for Divine Service. The new struc ture of the body of the Church, both in design and execution, is highly creditable to the Architect, Mr. LAING. It presents a fine specimen of English architecture, disencumbered of gothic detail, and grotesque ornaments. A Sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. HESKETH, the Rector, from the 4th chapter of St. Paul's first Epistle to the Corinthians, Ist and 2d verses; and, as this was the first occa sion of his addressing his Parishioners, the worthy Rector, in a most emphatic discourse, explained the reciprocal duties of the Pastor and his flock.— A new organ, by GRAY, has beery erected, and was opened by Mr. JOHN GRAY in a style peculiarly cal culated to display the varied powers of this noble instrument. His tasteful management of the Vene tian swell, combined -with some of the sweetest stops we ever heard, made a most pleasing impression. His concluding piece, " The Coronation Anthem," with the powerful assistance of a magnificent octave of pedal pipes, Mid all the effect of a full band. We presume Mr. Joins GRAY does not profess a theore tical knowledge of music : however, it is hut justice to say, that he post.esses the power of exhibiting the btautie3 of the instrument iu a must superior styles FOX CLUB OF SCOTiANB: Fridai, the birth-day of that illustrious states Min; CIIARLES JAMES Fox. was celebrited at Edinburgh by upwards of 500 Noblemen and Gentlemen, *hci sat ddw n to dinner in the Waterloo TaVern, Begent's Bridge; The Meethig was Mote numerous than any that has taken place for many years and great num bers were disappointed of admission. Ther.arlof floss ryta was in the Chair, and Lord GrAtitOitemy (eldest son of the Earl of BREA DA LAA NE) was Croupier. After the cloth was removed, Nen tiobii Donizne was sung. The following toasts were then given: The King—Tune," King's Anthem." The Queen and the Royal Family—Tune, " Auld guidman ye're a cankered carte." The immortal memory of the Right Honourable Qharles James Fox, which was drank in silence—Tune, " Here's a health to him I lo'e dear." Ills Ruyal Highness the Duke of Susses, the stretiuous and steady supporter of the priaciplcs which paced his Family a the Throne—Tune, " Garb of old GaLl." The I)uk.s of Miniltcm, Argyll; and Roxburgh, and the Whigs of Sceitland—Tune, "'Three gude fellows." Earl Grey and the Whigs of England—(Great anlause)— Tune, " Up and wailr them a' Willie." The. Duke of Leinster and the Whigs of Ireland Tune, " St. Patrick's Day." The health of the CHAIRMAN was then proposed by Lord Gutxoactit. Lord Ross/Ys: returned thanks, And congratulated Lord GLENOECIi y on his first public appearance. Mr. JEFFREY trusted that it would not be reckoned presumptuous in him to rise thus early in the even ing, for the l•urpose of proposing A toast, which ap- s . peared to embrace more comprehensive views, and an interest still more extensive than any yet offered; and if, as he suspected, some feelings of national Ode, and the partiality of private friendship; should concur with a sense of public duty, he trusted that they would be received with indulgence, when be mentioned that the subject was the general education of the People, and the indi.:idual with whose name he wished to connect it, was Henry l3rougham. Mr. JEFFREY concluded a brief but iinpressiie speech by proposing— The health of Henry Brougham, and success to the diffusisn of knowledge through every rank of the People. Mr. CRAWSTOWS followed, and in a strain of elo• quence which drew forth repeated cheers, expatiated on the eminent qualities of the individual whose name he begged next to offer to the notice of the Meeting. The health of Lord Erskine, and Trial by Jury.—Tune, " Should auld acquaintance be forgot ?" Mr. J. A. MURRAY gave— The memory of Sir Samuel Rummy. Mr. A. SCOTT gave— Lord Archibald Hamilton, and success to the cause of 80. rough Reforni.—Tune, " Clout the Cauldron." Mr. MACFARLANE proposed— The health of Sir Henry Moncrieff. and the cause of hell• gious Liberty.—Tune, " Auld Rob Morris." Mr. KENNEDY rose to propose the health of a dis tinguished individual, Mr. Lambton, whose presence was a matter of pride arid satisfaction to all. Mr. LANIBTON expressed himself highly gratified by the honour conferred on him, and by seem& such a numerous and respectable company assembled to celebrate the memory of Mr. Fox. After comment ing in severe terms on the proceedings in the case of the Queen, Mr. Latnbton proposed— Mr. John Clerk, and the independence of the Scots Bar. Mr. CLERK returned thanks, and gave— The health of Lord Holland, the Noble representative of the principles of Mr. Fox.—Song, " Saw ye my father ?" _ - . . Mr. INGLIS said he rose to propose a standing toast of the day, which, fortunately, required neither eloquence nor persuasion. He proposed-- The cause of Liberty all over the world. The fallowing toast was proposed from the Chair Mr. Barratt, and the strangers who have honotired us with their company, and the Whigs of their Counties. Mr. STEWART called the attention of the Meeting to a much revered and truly British character, the late Mr. S. Whitbread, the associate and coadjutor of Mr. Fox, and the steady assertor of the People's rights. Mr. Stewart shortly enumerated his public and private virtues—his honesty and undismayed in trepidity—his exemplary conduct as a husband and a father; and concluded by giving _ _ _ _ The Memory of Mr:S:l-muel4iVhhbread; Mr. H. CocKamm proposed— Success to the Cause of Freedom in Spain, Portugal, and Naples, and the Patriots of every Nation who resist Oppression. Mr. GRAHAM Smuts proposed— The health of Mr. Manta, and the Independent Freeholden of the County of Forfar. Lord Dumts, after a few preliminary observa tions, proposed— The memory of the late Honourable Henry Erskine. Mr. FERGUSON, after a suitable panegyric, proposed The memory of the late Professor Playfair. Mr. MONCREIFF begged permission to propose a toast, in which he anticipated the hearty concurrence of the whole company. It embraces approbation of a distinguished Nobleman of England, and at the same time a condemnation of one of the most disgraceful acts which our times have witnessed—(Hear, hear) Farl Fitzwilliam, and may his Majesty's Lieutenants eonsider themselves the Itepresentatives of the Father of the People, and not the Slaves of the Ministry. Several other toasts were afterwards drank, when the company separated at a late hour, highly grati fied with the proceedings of the night. The PHEASANT, Captain liEttv, lately captured on the Coast of Africa, a small Portuguese schooner (eleven tons), called the Novo Felicidade, with 71 slaves on board, 34 of whom were women, crowded into a space eight feet four inches long, four feet eight inches broad, and two feet seven inches high. They were all shackled together with irons, and when released, could hardly stand on their legs from cramp and starvation! Po En.—There is a pleasing allegorical truth in one of the old French Fairy 'Tales, where the hero is armed with a talismanic wand,,on which is inscribed the word Por:er, and by which he conquers all ob stacles. Without having recourse to supernatural beings, what is it that the po ssess i on o f power can- . not effect? and what is power but wealth? Money obtains influence, and influence is power. It is.some ' what extraordinary that any person may now obtain this magic property, by the mere purchase of a Ticket or Share in the New Lottery, containing Nine Prizes of £21,000, Three of which will be decided in the first Five Minutes, 23d instant. •
