FUNDS.

Yesterday was a very tranquil day in the City in respect
to commercial affairs ; and in the foreign Exchanges there
was not much business doing.
In the British Market they were preparing for the
settling of the Account. _

Consols closed at 907 to 91 for Money, and 92i 1 for
the Account ; opened this morning at 921 1, Money 901,
91 ; Exchequer Bills, 42 43 44 prem. ; India Bonds,' 42
43 44 prem. ; Bank Stock, 2084 209 ; India Stock, 2564
money.

In the Foreign Market Spanish Active is very heavy
this morning, owing to the account in the French papers
of revolts having taken place in the Queen of Spain's ar-
mies, and the troops firing on their Generals and officers ;
also of the Spanish Stock coming lower from Paris. Spa-
nish Active closed at 204 ex-Coupons ; opened at 20i 21
with Coupons ; Portuguese closed at 42 ; Three Per
Cents, 261 ; Colombian, 244 25q ; Spanish Passive, 51 ;
Deferred, 7i -a.
HALF-P.4,CT ONE.

Accounts from Liverpool state, by information received
by the United States American packet, that there was no
prospect at present of cash payments being made in Ame-
rica. A great number of small notes had been issued to
supply the want of small change ; sonic of them, of which
the papers contain a copy, are for three cents. It also ap-
pears that the Seminole Indians have outwitted General
Jessup, the American Commander ; having amused him
with hopes of submission, until the heat of the season ren-
dered a campaign impossible, and having then broken off
the treaty, he threatens to exterminate them.
Consols have continued during the morning at 921 921
for the Account, with scarcely any business doing. The
brokers and jobbers are chiefly occupied in making up their
differences against next Friday, which is settling day in the
British funds.

Consols may be quoted at present 92i 922 ; Money
90i 91 ; Exchequer Bilis, 42 44 prem. ; India Bonds, 42
44 prem. ; Bank Stock, 2081 ; India ditto, 256 257.
The Foreign Market is languid, and no speculations of
consequence have taken place during the morning. Spa-
nish Active, 20 20, without the Coupons ; Portuguese,
42, lower ; Three per Cents, 26 ; Dutch, 52 ; Colombian,
; Brazil, 844.
We have no further arrivals or reports.

neiro state that there is going to be a change in the Mi-
nistry there.

COFFEEHOUSE-KEEPERS' A SSO-

CIATION.

The first half-yearly meeting of this Association took
place yesterday evening at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street,
for the dispatch of business.—Mr. Marshall in the Chair.
Mr. FORBES, Hon. Secretary, read the minutes of the
former meeting, and they were confirmed.
The report was afterwards read. It stated that the
Association had been established for the purpose of re-
lieving aged and decayed members of the trade, their
widows and orphans. The Association had now be-
come so numerous and powerful a body that, when united,
they possessed within themselves every material for forming
one of the most extensive charitable institutions of which this
metropolis could boast—an association which would, in its
consequences, not only be the means of providing a fund for
the permanent support of those of their own body, who, from
reverses of fortune (to which all are liable), might be re-
duced from a state of comparative prosperity to the alter-
native of dragging out a miserable existence immured within
the walls of a workhouse—not only did this institution con-
templating the obviating such degradation to its members, but
likewise to extend its beneficent influence to relieve their
widows from the consequences of destitution, and to as-
sist in bringing up their orphans, so as to render them
good citizens and useful members of society. It was in-
tended, if the friends of the Institution would permit, to
extend this latter purpose to the establishment of „a
school, where the orphans of deceased members would be
educated, clothed, and fed, and rendered fit for making
their own way through the world in a creditable manner.
With such benevolent and philanthropic objects in view
the promoters of this institution could not doubt but that
they would receive the most liberal support from the trade,
of whom (so rapid had been its progress) they already
could boast of upwards of 200 members. The report was
unanimously adopted.
The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs.
Binmore, Elliott, Bottcrill, Hart, and many others of
the trade ; and a series of resolutions were proposed,
seconded, and adopted. It was ultimately determined
that a steam-boat excursion to Gravesend should shortly
take place in aid of the funds of the Association, and a
Committee, consisting of Messrs. Marshal, Elicott, Elliott,
Rogers, Phillips, Binmore, Welch, and Hornell, was ap-
pointed to carry the project into effect,.
The customary vote of thanks having been given to the
I
Chairman, who briefly acknowledged the compliment, the
meeting separated.
