TILE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TIVELVE O'CLOCK.

The important information received by Government of
the entrance into Bilboa of General Espartero has caused
a great sensation in the City, particularly among the Spa-
niards of the Queen's party ; and it has bad also a great
influence on the Spanish Stocks. Spanish Active, which
closed yesterday at '2O to 201, has improved to 231; Pas-
sive, 61 ; Deferred, 81.
It appears that Espartero owes his success to the Eng-
lish artillerymen, as well as to the flotilla, without the aid
of which he would have found it a difficult task. The gar-
rison was put to the last extremity for provisions, and could
not have held out a week longer.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 90h- 001, opened at
the same price, since which they have improved to 90-1
for the opening. Exchequer Bills, 26 28 ; India Bonds,
14 16 ; Bank Stock, '209 210 ; India, shut.
Portuguese Stock, 44i ; Three per Cents., 271 274 ;
Columbian, 2.7,1 '2Bl ; Mexican, 27 '2B ; Dutch Two-and-
a-Half, 541.
The wind having changed to the westward, a thaw has
commenced, to the great gratification of the mercantile in-
terest, who will be able to pursue their business as usual.
Our arrivals this morning are one French, one Ostend,
and three Dutch mails ; a French mail is still due. No
ship letters.
Consols are now 90i 901.

ONE 0, CL 0 CK.

ing, when they were 90i ;at present 90 for the
Opening. Exchequer Bills 28 29 ; India Bonds 16 14 ;
Bank Stock 210.
Most of the Foreign Stocks are also heavy. Spanish
Active, which were in the morning 23k, at present 23 ;
Passive 6/ ; Deferred 9 ; Portuguese 45 Three per
Cents., 28, ex. div. ; Colombian 27 ; Dutch 2} per Cents.,

Consols for the Account, 901 I.

THREE O'CLOCK,

So great has been the influence of the present
inclement weather on the prices of kitchen vegetables, that
greens, which about a fortnight ago sold for 3d. per bunch
in the metropolitan markets, now fetch 10d.
i to Is. Tur-
nips, carrots, celery, &c , have become dear n proportion ;
but parsley fetches a price almost unprecedented even in
the annals of Covent-garden. Such is the scarcity of this
article, owing to the overlaying of the snow, that last Thurs-
day market-handfulls, which arc usually sold for a penny,
fetched half-a-crown each ! A man who was lucky enough
to possess a bunch, for which he paid 9d. to a market gar-
dener at Fulham, divided it into sundry small lots, or
handfulls, and in about half an hour realised twenty-two
shillings and threepence by retailing them in the market !
Bates, the rag and old-metal collecwastor, w
hehose body
was found nsar Bideford on Tuesday, ,at t time he
was murdered, on his road to Barnstaple, having sold his
stock to Mr. I'Ans for 11. 165., at which time he had 4/. in
his possession. On the body being found, the pockets were
turned in:,ide out, and rifled of their contents. The old
man had two dreadful wounds on the head, one across the
temple, which caused his death. A most strict investiga-
tion has taken place, and is still carrying on by the local
authorities, who have caused two persons to be apprehended
on suspicion, and it is confidently expected that the perpe-
trators of the foul deed will be brought to justice. At the
inquest on Wednesday a verdict of " Wilful murder" was
returned. Bates was a very industrious, honest, and sober
man ; he has left a wife and one child.—Exeter Gazette.
