TAR rUNDS.

The public were greatly alarmed yesterday, and Stock
was sold to a large amount, in consequence of the un-
favourable reports of his Majesty's health, but at a late
hour in the afternoon their anxiety was apparently relieved
by the appearance of the bulletin, in which it does not
appear that his Majesty was in iminent danger, This has
rather given an impulse to the Funds this morning;
Consols, which left off yesterday at 92! for the account,
opened at the same price, since which they have improved
to 92k, and for money 92a
We have no arrivals of consequence ; later accounts
have been received from Calcutta, but no Papers have as
yet come to hand.
In the Foreign Market Spanish I3ople have rather im-
proved. In other Foreign Securities ❑othing doing as yet.

ONE O'CLOCK.

Intelligence has reached the City of the capture of the
Mary Ann, English merchantman, from Gibraltar, by
the Portuguese squadron blockading Terceira, and that
she had been sent, that the case might be decided by the
Court of Admiralty, to Lisbon. About the Sth instant a
gale had sprung up by which the blockading squadron had
been blown from their station off Terceira, and at the
above date none of them were in sight.

By letters from Lisbon we learn that Don Miguel had
announced that a general promotion in the Army was
about to take place. This had been caused by some symp-
toms of disaffection which had been displayed by the
officers, and which had caused alarm to the Government.
There is a great degree of tranquillity in the Consol
market and the price for the Account is 92 buyers.
We have nothing of any importance doing in the Foreign
Stock market.

Two O'CLOCK.
No Bulletin has as yet been received in the city in re-
gard to his Majesty's health.
Consols continue firm at 9211f0r the account, and 921
for money; much business has been doing this morning.
Large amounts of Stock, which were sold yesterday, have
been purchased bask again, this morning; by the same
party who sold them.

The pulling down of such a mass of houses as
occupied the space between the Strand, St. Martin's-lane,
Chandus-street, and Lancaster-court, presents a scene of
desolation probably never equalled in the metropolis since
toe Fire of London.

Among the emigration wonders of the pre-
sent day may be mentioned the intended departure to the
Swan River of a family occupying one house in one of the
fashionable squares, and another on the picturesque Lake
of Ulswater.

The emigration mania has extended itself
pretty largely into Wale. Betveeen 20 and 30 familiee left
Milford Haven last week for America, in the brig Fran_
broke Castle.—Cambrian.

A s a specimen of the inconsistency of ecclesi-
astical rules with regard to residence, it may be mentioned
that the incumbent ofone ofthe largest parishesin the metro-
polis will have been absent from his living a whole year,
because the office which he holds in a distant cathedral
requires uninterrupted residence for the same period, to
secure both the office and the emolutuents.—lkror tang

A soldier came to GONZALO FERNANDEZ,
and told him that he thought a fortress of the enemy might
be won with the loss of only some few men : on which
GONZALO said, "But will you be one of them ?"

There is no page in the history of mankind
so black as that which records the intercourse between
civilised and barbarous nations. Of this an awful and
striking instance is exhibited in the feelings which exist
between the Indians of Brazil and the Portuguese, who in
one district are stated to have given the natives clothes
charged with the poison of the small•pox, which, in con-
sequence, raged among them with such fury, that they
were at last compelled to destroy the infected with arrows.

An important discovery has recently been
made in the manufacture of iron, which accelerates the
process of converting the cast into bar iron, and at the
same time has a material infu;•nce upon the quality by
decomposing the carbon and injurious substances combined
with the iron, and which in the ordinary method of manu-
facturing cannot be destroyed. It likewise has the effect
of separating and completely vitrifying the alumineus and
siliceous earths, which destroy the tenacity and malleability
of the iron. It is now ascertaissed that by means of this
simple economical application, many ores and materials
may be used for the production of icon which could not
formerly be worked.

PER A, MARCH 4.—The GRAND SEIGNOR
putsues his plans of reform, and there is no doubt he will
lay aside the turban as soots as he has an opportunity.
This would produce beneficial effects, for the pure Deism
which would result if the religion of Afaitostrr were de-
prived of its superstitions, would certainly change the cha-
ractt:r of the Turks, who would then begin to look upon
the people of other nations as brothers, and would become
civilised. Constantinople would then become a great centre
of enlightened priuciple►. The fequirs might taise an out-
cry, but all their predictions and curses would be harmless
if 31Aii °MET acted with prudence. The first thing to be
accomplished would be to take possession of the property of
the Turkish Clergy ; and the lazy parasitical race of Softas,
honks, &c., who abandon themselves to the moet infamous
vices in the convents, should be forced to enrol themselves
in the army. Asia Minor is said to be in a state of great
excitement ; but though the crisis is dangerous, yet, if
energetical measures were adopted, the country might be
regenerated. —Morning Pupil..

According to letters from Carolmerzil, thir-
teen vessels have perished during the storm from the 3d to
the 4th of April, between Langeroog and Niew llrek, and,
what is more, all their crews.

The amount of duty paid last year on the
apparently insignificant article of tobacco amounted to
nearly 2,859,0001. Of this sum more than half was paid
in Liverpool and London, from their being the chief ports
for the arrival of vessels from Virginia. Next to thew in
amount of importation are Dublin and Bristol. Of the
three kingdoms the respective proportions of duty are—
England, 1,5Y73,000/. ; Ireland, 613,000/. ; Scotland,
273,0001,
