The Expresses from Paris bring the French Funds as follows : they opened on Wednesday at 80f. 75c., were done at 81., 50-80, 45 ;—last price on I Chd'age 80,60 ; butafter 'Change was over they were done i at 80,45. The French Papers of Wednesday do not • bring any political news of consequence, except the continued disagreement of the Regency of . Spalu with the French Government, the Regency wishing to act as a separate body, to which the. French Government will not consent. The grand preparations for war do not seem to go on with the same energy,as for some time past. The Duke d'ArtuouLustu; reviewed a few troops pre vious to their leaving Paris for the Pyrenees.— There are various accdunts in the French Papers from' Spain, but none of material consequence. The French Papers. of Wednesday quote the Funds 79f. 60c., .which can only be Tuesday's prices. It is supposed that the Duke of ORLEANS is at the head of a strong party at Paris, and is exerting all his power to prevent a war between France and Spain. FOREIGN MAaKEr.—ln this Market there was a good deal doing,-Spanish Bonds opened at 341 to L went up to 37i, down again to 34“. In the House of Lords, last night, the Mar quis of LANSDOWN intimated his intention to put a question this evening to the Earl of I,rvrit- COO L on the Foreign Relations of the Country. The Noble Earl having replied, that his attend ance at the time stated would he inconvenient, the Noble Marquis said that he would defer Putting his,question till Monday, to which day the House adjourned. In the House of. Commons, Mr. BROUGHAM inquired of Sir GEORGE CLEItk if there was any truth in the report that the Brest Fleet had put to sea, to which the Hon. Baronet replied iu the .negative.

We yesterday fell into a singular mistake re• specting an opinion said to have been expressed by Mr. ilusKtssoN at Liverpool, viz. that Eng land had been weakened and exhausted by her stupendous efforts during the last war. We . had read several Reports of the Right lion. Gentle ' man's Speech, into one of which the erroneous opinion ascribed to him had been introduced by the Inaccuracy of the Reporter. We have now, however, the satisfaction to state, that xto such expressions were used by the Right Hon. Gen - . tleman, . and that on the contrary, as will be . seen from our own report of his Address, in , rift SUN of yesterday, he declared his convic tion that .the country, unless its public credit S hoilld be impaired, was in a condition to fulfil gall its engagements at home, and to sustain • 'with undiminished energy all its rank and dignity abroad.

INTERESTING TO COUNTRY GENTLEMEN. r. Gentlemen of the utmost respectability are reduced in their country houses, to the dulness of a domestic circle, and there by are frequently induced to attempt suicide in the fall of the year, or what is still more melancholy, driven to invite to their houses those ancient and well-known families, the Tags, the Rags, the Bob-tails, and the Bores; and having observed the facility with which the public is supplied with job-horses, and with books from circulating libraries, he has opened an office in London for the purpose of furnishing country houses with a regular succession,of company and guests, on the most reasonable terms. For an annual subscription of 30 guineas, a country Gentleman will be supplied with four guests a week, to be changed at the will of the subscriber. An annual sub scribe; of 15 guineas will be supplied with two guests, to be changed once a fortnight. A non-subscriber within 25 miles of London, may be furnished with guests by the day or week, upon undertaking to be' answerable for breakage on ,the road. Mr. *****"'s catalogue contains an elegant assortment of 617 guests, amongst them may be found three Irish Peers, seven Scots Peers, 13 Baronets, six Yellow Admirals nine teen Major-Generals (who narrate the entire Spanish war) thirty:seven Dowagers, 314 Old Maids, on annuities; and several unbenficed Clergymen (who play the fiddle), Deaf and Dunib people. Sportsmen, and Gentlemen, who describe Paris and Fonthill, may be had at half-price. They can all play at cards, and generally with success,if partners, .and they will have no objection to play of a morning (during rain). The guest to be fed by the Country Gentleman, as in the case of job hones, and claret to be produced if Sots or Irish Peers are required. If any guest should be disapproved of, the Country Gentleman is desired by Mr. ***** • to write Bore against his name in the Catalogue, or to chalk it on liis back- when he leaves the honse, and his place shall be supplied by return of the stapx.coadt. Society (Vice. ADDITIONAL. NOTICE. Mi. ** aa * * is encouraged by the great patronage helas al ready met with from Gentlemen residing in the Country, to add to his Catalogue 6 Young Ladies, who play on the piano-fbrte and harp, and can sing Italian and English songs, 4 Dancing Beaux, who will dance on a carpet if positively required, 2 Elderly Ladies, who read aloud plays or novels, and do not ob ject to play quadrilles or waltzes on the piano, 8 Young Ladies, always agreeable .to join any riding or walking excursion, 2 middle-aged Gentlemen who will,undertake to talkduring the whole of a fozmal dinner party, and can tell anecdotes from Dean Swift down to Joe Miller ; and one accomplished listener, who will pay undivided attention to arguments on the necessity of turnpike road bills, and on the cultivation of the Swedish turnip, or to any of the other usual topics of country conver sation. The public are respectfully informed, that the three last-named guests are charged a guinea a week extra, which it is hoped will not be thought unreasonable, as the difficulty of procuring them is very great. *** We lately inserted .an article similar to the above, which excited much notice in the fashionable circles, and which is un derstood to be the production of a Gentleman whose recent re tirement from a laborious profession affords him leisure for the indulgence of that wit and humour for which he has long been distinguished. The second part is attributed to two sprightly Young Ladies, who are evidently po ssesse d of a s i m il ar turn for humorous invention. On Thursday evening, a numerous anti fashionable party were present at the first assembly fur the season, in the George Street Rooms, to commemorate hit MAJESTY'S visit to Scot-, land. Upwards of 600 personages of the first rank and dis tinction in the city attended. The meeting was under the di rections and patronage of five Lady Patronmes, who superin tended the ceremonies with their usual grace and affability. Besides Gow's excellent band, that of the Scotch Greys also attended in a separated appartment, and entertained the com pany with some beautiful , airs during the intervals in danc ing.—Quadrills are still the favourite, hut a few sprinklings of the country dance were occasionally introduced.-4 Edinburgh Courant, Feb. 17,) Great preparations are making at Ashburnham 'House, flay-hill, for the reception of the Rus- SIAN AMBASSADOR and suite• The Countess LIEYEN will remove from liarley.street early in the next month. • The new military road, leading from the Regent's Barracks, through the Regent's Park, is nearly finished.

THE THEATRES. !)Ituay• LANt.—The removal of Miss STteurss from the rival Theatre, instead of lessening her attraction, seems to have increased it. Guy Atunnering was the performance of last night, and by the aid of her vocal powers, and those -of BRAHAM, the Theatre had a very numerous audience. COVENT•GARDEN.—The Opera of Maid Marian keeps its hold, as well' it may, considering the talents that are employed in supporting it. Miss TREE was able to resume her station last night. The new Farce of The Duel is so whimsical and humourous that it has fully established its success. EXETER THEITRE.—If report speaks truth, our Theatre, which last week so suddenly gave up the 'host, will, Phcenix-like, blaze forth again, and re-open with re. doubled strength and attraction. NVo perceive, by Mr. BENNETT'S Address to the Public, that he retires frcim theatrical pursuits altogether. In justice to this Gentle man, we cannot but remark, that, as an actor, he haS al. ways been esteemed as one of sterling merit, and maintained the highest reputation for a series of many years.—We under stand that 3lr. BRUNTox, from one of the London Theatres, takes the future management, who has made such acquisitions to the late corps dromatique, as to render its strength complete; which it is hoped, will give general satisfactitin, and secure the patronage of tbe.public.—( Exeter Plying Post, Feb.

The Lord Lieutenant, under whose auspices these Concerts were brought forward, had commanded a very liberal sum to be enclosed to Mr. Ashe, on the morning; of this his last Con. cert, and condescendingly desired that his Excellency's regret might be expressed at being prevented attending that even. ing's Concert, which was certainly a great disappointment to a numerous assemblage of Nobility and Gentry, who were in expectation of the honour of meeting his Excellency there. The selection was for the most part new to us, anti gave very general satisfaction throughout. Mrs. Ashe, in a grand Italian duet, a new cavatina, anti a Spanish air, with Moore's words, displayed her rich and melodious voice to the greatest advantage, and in each she received the most %tufting marks of approbation. Miss Ache evinced great vocal excellence. She sung a new tong, by Bishop, in a moat fas c ina t i ng manner ; and in the florid variations on Mozart's O'boke Coact/an, she executed the various divisions, in conjunction with Mr. Ashe's flute, with the most perfect ease and precision, Moschelles' Fall of Paris; which he composed for his debut in London, and where" his performance of this extraordinary piece of m u g o exc i te d the admiration of the greatest Masters in that Capit a l, h as hitherto been considered far above the power of a female hand ; but Miss Ashe, who performed it on the Piano-Forte, gave - proof to the contrary, by her flying fingers appea r i ng to b e as intimate with all its int ric a c ie s as if she had compos e d i t . The termination - of each Variation was greeted with loud applause. Mr. Bedford and Mr. Stansbury acquitted themselves in their allotted pieces with great credit; and the Band, which was f u ll, and well appointed, w as l e d by M r . Barton, w i t h his usual attention and precision. We regret that thesedelightful amuse. ments,are over, as under such an experienced Musical Manager as Mr. Ashe, the lovers of harmony might be sure of tieing . highly gratified.

ATTEMrEED Suictnc.---About half-past eleven last night, a young man and young woman, walk ing in Wellingtou-street,Waterloo-bridge, seemed to differ ; the woman exclaimed that she would drown herself ; ran down thestairs and plunged her. self into the river. The young man followed after her, and being a good swimmer, secured her by the first barge ; swam back to the stairs, and was saved by the exertio n s of Captain Pliny and his friend. She was.taken to Dr. STANrron, in the Strand, and every attention paid ; from thence to bed, at the sign of the Apple Tree, Whitehart yard, in a fair way of recovery. The young man it the son of an eminent Stockbroker ; the woman a dress-maker of the most respectable connec tions, DREADFUL ACCIDENT. LP*T.Ms the Glasgari Cditrier of Feb. - 18.1 We have this day to inform our Readers, that a great por tion of tinst large tenement, five stories high, besides the garrets situated in Saltmarket-street, and on the north-east corner - of Prince'sitreet, known by the name of Gibson's Land, fell on Sunday Morning, from top, to bottom, efitira most' tremendcus crash. For some tittle past suspicions had been entertained by . the occupiers of the .tenement that it was not , in a sufficient state to be- inhabited, which was indicated by the lintels of the doors and fire:places giving way.; and on Friday after noon the Procurator-Fiscal applied to the Dean of Guild, who ordered tradesmen to inspect the premises and to give in a Re port.ef their proceedings. These gentlemen accordingly visited the whole'Piopertf immediately, and so convinced were they of its insufficiencY,' thaVit was very properly condemned. No time.was lost In giving notice to the inhabitants speedily to re move themselves and furniture, and a person was sent round on Saturday desiring them to do so without delay, as there was every probability the lionise. 'would soon 'come down. During the whole of that day the inmates were, busily employed carry ing away their property, but in a land which Contained so many families, it could hardly be expected that the orders of the Dean of Guild could be literally. complied -with, .and a few were hardy enough t o remain iii their houses tiering the night be. twist Saturday and Sunday. As was anticipated, a little after eight o'clock on Sunday morning the whole tenement fell, part ly into Salunarket and partly into Prince's-street.. As thelatter street is narrow, that portion of it which cable. down in it fell on the tenement on the south-east corner, to which it has done considerable damage, having nearly destroyed the whole. front of the building, and in whic:s several of the inhebitants who had moved had taken refuge on the preceding day; and such was the violence of the concussion, that the chimney -stalk on the south side of that house was driven down, falling on the property below, to the terror and dismay of the astonished pos. sessors ; and many persons belonging to the different houSes were seen flying in all directions in a state of nudity. As soon as this melancholy disaster was communicated to Mr. Cleland, the Superintendent of Public Works, that gentleman was instantly on the spot, wiser(' he continued during the whole of Sunday. On his arrival he found the appearance of the whole so awful that he sent for a number of tradesmen and other skilled persons, in order to consult what was best to be done with respect to the ruinous state of that part of the building which had not fallen in; and on their _reaching the appalling scene, it was resolved immediately to set about propping the house with logs of wood, and removing the rubbish, in'order to ascertain whether or not any of the unfortunate tenants Were buried in the ruins. A number of workmen were employed, and carts and horses procured, and they proceeded to business ; but such was the vast quantity of stones, timber, &c., that it was souse time, notwithstanding their best exertions, before they could make much • impression on them. Before one o'clock, however, the voice of a woman was heard under a part of the reins .which it was highly dangerous to approach, and this was a period of great anxiety to every person concerned. At length Jl3. Love, a carpenter with Messrs. Scott and Grieve, , courageously went in quest of the woman, whom he found in a space just large enough to contain her, with one of her arms jammed in between two pieces of wood. A glass of water ; having been handed to her, as she was faint, Love procured a saw, and after an hour'S -hard labour he succeeded in extricat ing her from her perilous situation, a little after two o'clock, when she proved to be a girl of the name of Mary servant to one of the families. She was immediately carried to an adjoining house, whereshe,was attended by Dr. Jeffrey of the College, and Dr. Fraser of the 77th ; and after sense cVr. ° dials had been administered to her, she was conveyed tv the' Royal Infirmary in the easiest manner, and we are happy to say she is doing well, though her arm is broken.' No other persons have yet been' found ; and we trust, from the number which had removed on the preceding day, the casualties will nut be so numerous as was at first thought, and which the dread ful appearance of the ruins would lead one 'to apprehend.— • Several tradesmen have sustained a seriou4-, loss -by this event, not having had their property wholly removed ; taming othere, Messrs. Robert Hutchison and Son, printers, who possessed the second story as a printing.effice, Have lost a considerable quart- City of types, &c. &c. ; and a Ruthven printing-press belong 7 ing to them ? matte yesterday a very conspicuous figure, re snaining stationary in , its position, and projecting over the fellen ruins : it was removed that night. Mr. Jenkins, bookseller, who had a binding shop in the premises, is also a cunsidot,ble sufferer ; and many others have met with severe losses. One of the Magistrates was in attendance in the Town Hall all Sunday, in case any thing should be wanted. Mr. Hardie, Master of Police, several of the Commissioners, and a strong body of officers, attended, and were of great service in preserving order, and protecting property. A military guard of the 77th regiment was also stationed to keep back the crowd, Who eantinued to throng the adjoining AMU during the whole of Sunday. , It was 4 fortunate circumstance that this melancholy disaster did not happen on Saturday evening, as numbers must inevita. bly have perished; the street on that night being Usually very ' 'throng ; and had it taken place from two to three hours later ' than it did, many people going to church must have suffered. Our readers will no doubt recollect, that a part of the saris ittrill fell in a similar manner about nine years ago, when one' woman lost her life, several escaped with severe bruises, anti much valuable property was destroyed.
