THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T tVEL VE O'CLOCK.
During the whole of yesterday afternoon great agitation
prevailed in the City, and until a late hour a number of Mer-
chant: connected with the American trade were assembled
round the Royal Exchange, waiting to hear the final determi-
nation of the Bank Directors with respect to giving further
assistance to the American Houses ; Imit they were disappointed,
as the meeting of the Directors did not break up till a late
hour in the evening—eight o'clock.
The negociation had proceeded satisfactorily up to yester-
day afternoon ; and no doubt was entertained that the Bank
Directors would have continued the required assistance ; but
having received letters from the country during the morning,
(by which it was ascertained that one of the firms which had
in the first instance become responsible "for a portion of the
advances of the Bank of England was not in a situation to
extend their guarantee to a later period of the year, but were
themselves reduced to the necessity of claiming assistance),
two meetings were held of the Directors--that which took
place in the morning related to the usual business of the Cor-
poration, and that in the evening to the American concerns ;
and at the termination of their deliberations, it was ascertained
that they came to a conclusion unfavourable to the applicants—
refusing all further assistance to the three American houses,
unless put in possession of more ample security for the amount
of their advances.

The usual notice was issued from the Bank late yesterday
afternoon, that it would be ready to receive applications for
loans, on approved bills of exchange, not having more than
ninety-five days to run ; such loans to be repaid on or before
the 15th of July next, with interest at the rate of Si. per
cent, per annum, and to be for sums not less than 2,0001. each.
It is anticipated in the city that the three American houses
will be obliged to wind up their affairs ; and no doubt when
this information reaches the United States it will cause great
consternation and further failures. At the same time we are
glad to state that the decision of the Bank Directors has had
very little effect on the Funds this morning--a proof that the
public and monied interest approve of the conduct of the Bank.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE took his seat on the Bench at ten
o'clock.

CURTIS V. MARQUIS OF HEADFORD.

Mr. PLATT said be was instructed to move for a rule to
show cause why the demurrer in this case should not be set
aside. It was an action brought to recover the amount of a
banker's check, and the defendant pleaded that the draft in
question was given to one Bond in the course of certain
gambling transactions, and that it was dated subsequent to
the delivery. The demurrer in replication was not sufficient
in law, and he (Mr. P.) submitted that the Court would con-
sider it frivolous.—Rule granted.
The Court then proceeded with the peremptory paper.
THE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF LLANDOROO.

This indictment was originally preferred against the de-
fendants at the sessions of Caernarvon, for the non-repairs of a
highway, when a nominal fine of 6s. Bd. was imposed. The
case had been subsequently removed into the Court of King's
Bench, and
Mr. JARVIS now appeared to show cause why such fine
should not be struck off, on the grounds that the two Magis-
trates, who had certified that the road in question had been
repaired since the informations had bees laid, were interested
persons. The Learned Counsel read the affidavits of three
surveyors, who severally deposed that the road had undergone
some small repairs, the cost of which amounted only to 151.,
but that it was exposed at certain seasons to inundations, and
was not in a fit state for travelling, and that it was too narrow
for public use, being contiguous to a dangerous precipice.
Mr. WELSBY, on the other side, argued at length in sup-
port of the indictment.
The COURT decided that the indictment should be respited
until Easter Term, and that the bill should be enlarged.

FRENCH WOOL MATTRESSES.
In consequence of the very frequent inquiries for MAT-
TRESSES made on the principles of those of France, F. HEAL
and SON have directed their attention to the production of an arti-
cle which should be quite equal to the best Mattresses made in
Paris, and being exclusively Manufacturers of Bedding, they are
enabled to offer the very best French Mattresses at the same prices
that are usually charged for those generally made in this country.

REAL MOHAIR GAMBROONS.—In con-
sequence of many spurious articles being sold to Gentlemen
for Gambroons last year the Patentees find it necessary to inform
the Public that none are real but those stamped on the back or sel-
vages FOX and CO.'S PATENT MOHAIR GAMBROON,

fade, or change colour in washing, and not more expensive than the
worsted imitations, which shrink and change colour every time they
are washed. A choice collection is prepared for this season, the
inspection of which is solicited, and one trial will prove the fact.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.

The Number before us contains a singular engraving,
taken on the spot, of the mode of capturing deer by
the "lasso," which, it seems, was adopted with success
the other day in Denham Marshes, and was borrowed, no
doubt, from the hunters of wild horses in the Pampas,
as we find duly recorded in Capt. Head's interesting
journal. " Memoirs of Parson Burton" is a lively
biographical scrap ; and the same may be said of those
of Samuel Chifney, the renowned Newmarket jockey.

EAST INDIA MAGAZINE.

The articles in the current Number of this Journal
are not of so dry and didactic a nature as they have
too often been, which. is no slight recommendation in
their favour. In " Egypt in 1837 the writer dwells,
briefly and pertinently, on the many agricultural and
commercial advantages, for which that country is in-
debted to its present ruler, Mahomed Ali, who, he
assures us, is extremely well disposed towards Eng-
land, the " English name and character" standing

higher now in Egypt than ever they did. The " Pro-
gress of Native Education in India" details some cu-
rious and instructive pal ticulars on a theme of uni-

CONFESSION OF THE MURDERER

OF HIS FOUR CHILDREN.

(Abridged from the MAttingham Review.)
It will be recollected that the inhabitants of the village of
Old Basford, about three miles north of Nottingham, were
horror-stricken on Tuesday morning, by a report that Thomas
Greensn►itb, of that place, had strangled his fotir children,
and had absconded.

The murderer was apprehended last Tuesday, and on Wed-
nesday an inquest was held on the bodies of the four children.
After the depositions of several witnesses bad been taken, the
prisoner made. the following confession :—On my return from
Nottingham, whither I had been about a servant for my
master, Mr. Brown, I met Mr. Joseph Woodward (who is the
father of Mr. Mark Woodward, my landlord) in the yard ; he
asked me about the rent, and I told him I had arranged with
his son to pay it the next Wednesday but one; he told me he
would have it next morning ; I told him it ries impossible for
me to give it him the next morning, but that he should have it
in the course of the next week ; he said he would not be put
off in that way, and if I did'nt get it ready in the morning he
would take my goods. I thought if he took my goods, that *I
should have no house—no where to go to—no home, nor no-
thing—and that before my children should be turned into the
street, and be separated from me, I would suffer what the law
would please to clap on me.—[The prisoner hesitated for a
short time and then proceeded.]-1 staid at home till five
o'clock the next morning; I then went to Nottingham, from
there I went to Carlton, where I had one pint of ale, and then
I went to Lambley, to Mr. John Brownley's, who keeps the
Robin Hood public house. Mrs. Brownley reached me some-
thing out to eat, and I stopped there all the. day until Liglit,
when I was taken into custody by the constable, Mr. Colliihe
Coroner—Did you turn your housekeeper away that night ?
Prisoner.-_I told her she must go; and I intended her to go
out, and not stay there that night.
Coroner—Did you go up stairs as soon as she was gone ?
Prisoner—No. I was not willing to part with my children,
so I made up my mind to strangle them, and I did it with my
handkerchief.
Coroner—When did that idea first come into your mind?
Prisoner—Not till that night, after talking to Mr. Wood-
wal.d. I did not proceed up stairs immediately after my house-
keeper left. I staid in the house-place about an hour; I then
.vent up stairs, and went direct into the children's room. I think
some of them were awake, but I don't know particularly. The
threat that Mr. Woodward gave me caused me to do what I
did. There were two in one bed, and two in the other. I think
I took my handkerchief out of my pocket when I
_„,(rot up stairs,
but .don't know where. I went to the bed where the two
youngest ones were lying (Mark and Ann); I think they were
:10t awake at the time. I kissed them all, shook hands and bid

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend
mails ; and ship-letters from Calcutta, of the 11th of Decem-
ber, and Cape of Good Hope, of Feb. 1.
A report prevailed at Bayonne that the united bands of Ca-
brera had been defeated in the mountains of Hornillo, between
Murcia and Andalusia, by General Espinosa; from whom was
taken a rich booty, with .500 prisoners. Should this be true,
no fear can be entertained for the safety of Madrid.
Accounts from Cadiz state that the English ship Russet
arrived there on the 19th ult. with 11,000 muskets.
On the 20th ult. another fire took place at Santander,
which was to a greater extent than that of the 6th ult. It
is stated that the loss experienced amounts to two millions
of francs.
Accounts from Bayonne say that the three Queen's Generals
have it in contemplation to force the Carlists to a battle in the
plains of Tolosa. The army of Espartero is to occupy on the
Bth instant the right bank of the river Deva. It is also stated
that General Scoane left Bilboa on the 30th for Ondarrosa, at
the head of two regiments of the line and some cavalry. Se-
veral detachments of the army of Navarre have received orders
to proceed on the side of Berrueta.
We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the 29th
January. We extract the following :
" We are happy to learn that the Savings Bank at Grahanerl
Town has received, during the past year, in additional dept
sits, upwards of 30,0001. A considerable portion belongs to
soldiers." These papers are filled with indictments at' the
Criminal Sessions respecting a challenge to fight a duel.
The report circulated in Graham's Town, and which was
spoken of there, that the Boors on the northern frontier had
killed a whole party, including the Lieut.-Governor, Colonel
Peddie, was unfounded. The supplies being rather small, the
prices of produce in the market advanced.
The Constitutionnel (Paris paper), received this morning,
states that a military insurrection broke out at St. Peters•
burgh, owing to a regiment being punished. It was about to
be decimated, which had caused great excitement in the ca-
pital. Details of this event are expected by the next express•

CORONER—When you destrdyed the children had you any
idea of destroying yourself? Prisoner—No. I knew I should
be taken in a day or two. I know I shall have to suffer what
the law will inflict upon me.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict of " Wilful Mur-
der" against Thomas Greensmitb.
The prisoner, who is 35 years of,age,
.was not in the. least
affected by this verdict; but, on the contrary, as soon as he
had delivered his testimony, his countenance brightened up,
and he Appeared more cheerful than during the examination of
the witnesses.

TITHE COMMUTATION ACT.

The Marquis of SALISBURY begged to ask the
Noble Viscount opposite if any measures would be taken
by Government to relieve parishes from the expenses of
surveys under the Tithe Commutation Act.

l'l3enunt MELBOURNE said that it would be very
inexpedient to carry the Act into effect on surveys which
were not accurate. In the ether House a Committee had
been appointed, which was occupied in deliberating- on the
subject, And he hoped the result would be that the parishes
would he relieved from the burthen.

Lord MALMESBURY hoped there would be as little
delay as possible in proposing such a measure of relief ; for
this delay would strengthen the idea which existed in the
col!ntry, that it was the- intention of the Government to
repeal the Act ; h rusted the result of the deliberations
of the Conituit!ce of the other House would set the mat-

ter tight.

THAMES-OFFICE.

TVilliam Vanderward and William Cannel?, the master
and mate of the barge Waterloo, were charged with steal-
ing ten bushels of wheat and a bushel of pease from a
cargo entrusted to their care. Suspicions having existed,
search was made on Friday, when the above quantity of
wheat and pease was found concealed in the main hold.
Half-a-dozen sacks belonging to different persons were also
found, cut up, and made into a bed for the mate. The
barge had sailed from Lea, in Essex, and had been recently
employed to bring up a cargo of wheat and pease to Mr.
Brown, the granary-keeper at Horselydown. It was from
this cargo the articles found had been stolen. The pri-
soners were fined 5/. each, and, in default of payment, they
will go to prison for two months. The corn will be restored
to the owner.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Madame Grisi was summoned by the firemen who at-
tended to put out a fire in the chimney of her apartments
in Regent-street, for having objected to pay the customary
reward. The fire, which was of a very trifling character,
was not denied, and the reason assigned by a gentleman
who appeared on behalf of Madame Grisi for withholding
the reward was, that when the apartments were taken an
agreement was given that they should be kept in a proper
state. Now, had the chimney been swept in due season
the soot would not have been in sufficient abundance to
ignite. The firemen said the chimney was set on fire in
consequence of Madame Grisi's cook having thrown a pan
full of fat into it accidentally. The second reward was
then ordered to be paid to the claimants.
