glad to hear of this determination. It argues a
fixed resolution on the part of his MAJESTY'S
Government to conform to the liberal and daily
expanding spit it of the day. That certain parties,
however, will fancy themselves aggrieved by the
change, we have not the slightest doubt. It is
natural that monopolists should raise an outcry
when their darling privileges are invaded.
Still the public good is the chief thing
to be considered, and to this the giant of mo-
nopoly must, sooner or later, bow his Hydra
head. At present,—even despite the improve-
ments which Mr. PEEL, infinitely to his honour
as a man and as a Minister, has made in it--
our statute-book is neither more nor less than a
book of monopolies, manufactured for one class
at the expense of another. From the Church
and State down to the meanest article of traffic ;
from the Bishop to the Brewer ; from the
Brewer down to the lowest Publican in the low-
est hamlet in England, all is monopoly—selfish
in its character, defective in its principle, and
ruinous to the best energies of the country in
its effects. Against this many-headed monster,
we have always gone boldly forth, armed with
our sling and stone, to combat, and it is with no
little pride that we now find his MAJESTY'S
Government disposed to engage in the same
praiseworthy undertaking.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Accounts from Gibraltar, of the 22d of April, state
that 17 Spanish emigrants had arrived in the Bay, in a
vessel from Lisbon, where Don Miguel had kept them in
prison for a length of time. The Captain of the vessel
wanted to force them to land, but the Governor would
not permit it. The Austrian naval division has sailed to
the eastward.
Accounts from Oran state that there are great prepara-
tions making all along the coast, as well as the interior,
against the landing of the French expedition. All the
Moors who are capable of bearing arms are arriving in
great numbers. The women and children are sent into
the interior, as well as the cattle, and all kinds of subsist-
ence. Several European Officers are at Oran ; there are
also some at Algiers.
Letters from Toulon say that the troops are to embark
on the 10th inst., and the squadron is to sail on the 15th,
16th, or 17th.
A letter from Tangiers, of the 20th of April, states that
on the 15th instant a small barque arrived there, and
amongst the cases on board there was one addressed to the
Sardinian Consul ; it was carried to the Custom-house,
and when examined by the officers, to their great astonish-
ment, instead of its containing goods, it inclosed a new-
born infant, which was asleep : the inside of the case was
so contrived that the child lay at perf, ct ease.
Accounts from Russia state that the Ministers have
continual meetings. Several Officers of the Staff have
set off for the frontiers of Persia, and it is reported that
some important event has taken place there. Several sail
of the line and frigates have been put into commission at
Cronstadt.

THE FUNDS.
Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday,
92N- for the Account, but soon after the Market im-
proved, and Consols were done at 921, and for next
Account, 9214 93.
Report says that a convention has been signed in Lon-
don, by the Brazilian Minister and the Envoy of the
young Queen of Portugal, stipulating that Brazil shall
continue to pay to the Regency of Portugal the amount
of the dividends of the Portuguese loan negotiated in
London ; also the balance of the indemnity stipulated for
in the treaty of separation, to the amount of three or four
hundred thousand pounds ; and it is further stated, there is
an additional contract for a loan on the part of Brazil, for
t.vo millions, which is to become the debt of Portugal, if
the young Queen should get possession of the throne.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing is doing.

TWO O'CLOCK.
Since the opening price this morning Consols have
continued at 92,1 for the Account, and for next time
94. The business done up to the present time is of
little importance.
The accounts from Windsor, up to six o'clock yester-
day evening, bring the report that his Majesty was rather
better since the bulletin was issued, but we must wait for
this morning's bulletin to see if the improvement continues.
The French prices of the lientes having come higher
by the Estafette from Paris, 82f. 70c. Spanish 154 to
16, has caused the improvement in the Funds this morning.
Our arrivals this morning are of minor importance, and
not a single ship letter has come to hand. This causes a
great dearth of intelligence.
In the Foreign Market this is settling day, consequently
the chief business doing is settling their accounts, which,
up to the present hour, appear to go off well. We do
not hear of any defaulters. The heavy accounts to settle
are in Greek and Spanish stocks

ANNIVERSARY OF THE SONS OF THE
CLERGY.-Yesterday the Anniversary Festival of this be-
nevolent institution, which damn s fur its object the appren-
ticing the children of necessitous Clergymen, was celebrated
with peculiar pomp and splendour at St. Paul's Cathedral,
in the presence of a most numerous and fashionable auditory.

The 4 per Cents. shut for the dividend on the
25th instant, which is about a week earlier than usual, to
allow time for the clerks to open the new accounts conse-
quent on the conversion of that stock into 2i per Cents.
The books in Consols do not close till the 3d of June.

OYSTERS.—The oysters are over for the
season, and the fishermen are unanimous in their declara-
tions that this has been among the most unprofitable
years they ever experienced, for there has been not only a
serious falling off in the consumption, but also in the prices.
The dredging lasted 240 days— here were, on an average,
50 of the Newhaven boats employed—the take ran 800 a
day, and it was very seldom that the fishermen got above
tid. a hundred, leaving only a pittance of 2s. a (lay to
support themselves and families, pay the rents of the
oyster grounds, and keep up their boats and fishing tackle.
