THE FUNDS.

We have no arrivals this morning of any consequence;
indeed, at present they are not much sought after, our do-
mestic concerns being now the general topic of conversa-
tion in every quarter of this great City. The resignation
of !Ministers, which was anticipated in the morning, and
confirmed in both Houses of Parliament last night, did not
cause any great surprise.

To the present hour the resignation of Ministers has had
but very little effect on the British funds : they have re-
ceded from the closing price, 934 to 93e 41- for the Ac-
count ; Money same. Very little business doing at pre-
sent, nor is it expected that any operations of magnitude
will take place before it is ascertained of what party the
new administration will be composed.

than the previous prices. The Dutch papers do not bring
any political news of consequence.

To the present hour of writing we have no further ar-
rivals or any reports respecting the formation of the new
Ministry, all are on the tip-toe to ascertain the composi-
tion—if entirely formed of Tolies, or a part.
The British Funds have been but little affected during
the course of the morning—about i per cent. lower than
the leaving off prices yesterday. , ,
The speculation of the Bears at present appears to be
that a dissolution of Parliament will soon take place, and
that a great quantity of stock will come to market to pro=
vide for the expenses of the election, in consequence of
which Stocks will recede. The Bulls are ofa different opi-
nion and hold their Stock, imagitaing that the people and
the monied interest will place more confidence in the new
Ministry.

the other eight months of the year, the Museum is only

here afforded them of examining the extensive and verY
valuable collection of every thing beautiful and rare, wbich
