THE FUNDS.

Yesterday we had numerous arrivals, and to-day we
have a French mail without any ship-letters, consequently
a great dullness prevails, both in the British and foreign
markets, in speculation to the present time.
In the course of yesterday afternoon an improvement
took place in the British Market, and Consols were done
at 93i for Money, and for the Account 94 to 94i, at
which prices they opened this morning, with the appear-
ance of a firm Market. Money continues scarce, and in
demand. Consols close to-day for the payment of the
dividends. Exchequer Bills 25 27 ; India Bonds 27 29 ;
Bank Stock 195 196; India Stock 256 257.

In the Foreign Market Spanish Active is a shade higher,
closed at 19f a, at present 191 ; Portuguese heavy, at
the closing price, 344 4 ; Three per Cents. 201 214 ;

HALF PAST ONE.
To the present hour we are without any further arrivals,
nor is there any news or reports to communicate. This
being the 4th of June, and heavy payments becoming due,
adds to the scarcity of money. As yet we do not hear of
anything unfavourable in mercantile affairs. The recent
measures which the Bank Directors have adopted in freely
discounting, will render great assistance to the mercantile
community, and we have no doubt that most part of the
bills due this day will be honoured. Consols, which
close this day, causes rather a bustle at the Bank.
According to the Canada papers, the navigation of the
river St. Lawrence is open, and 13 vessels have arrived,
most of them from London, and commercial affairs are
progressing.
Consols may be quoted at present 934 Money, they have
touched 931; for the Account, 941; Exchequer Bills,
25 27 ; India Bonds, nothing done ; Bank Stock, 1941 ;

DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—About half-past three
this morning a most alarming fire broke out at No. 26,
Chapel-street, Grosvenor-place. Police constable Laskey,
65 B, who was on duty in the street, immediately gave an
darm, and all the inmates escaped unhurt, with the ex-
ception of Mr. Macgregor, the landlord of the house,
whose hands were severely scorched. Owing to the exer-
tions of the police the greatest part of the furniture was
saved. The premises, we are happy to say, were insured
ACCIDENT AT THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—
On Friday evening, at about a quarter
past eight
o'clock, as Lord Ravensworth was mounting his horse at
the Queen's entrance to the House of Lords, owing to his
Lordship not having a sufficient hold on the pommel of the
saddle, he fell heavily into the road, his foot remaining a
few seconds in the stirru
he was instantly rescued. ti
