THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Liverpool papers received this morning state tha

accounts received from the manufacturing towns are

gloomy. In Sheffield, business is in a state of agitation ;
the following extract of a private letter, received yeterday,
shows that Birmingham is in a similar condition :
BIRMINGIIA :4, JUNE 6. Everything here is in the

wretched and miserable state that ycu can conceive;
all the manufactories closed, and the poor mechanics walking:,
about, half starved, with little or no prospect of amendment.'
The Manchester paper of yesterday says—"
at present, far too early to estimate the force of the ftocK
which has been caused the catastrophe. Years, probably!
must go by before it shall have altogether exhausted itself, and
some time must elapse before the whole of what may even be
called its immediate effects will be manifested. Hitherto, how-
ever, both here and at Liverpool the mischief appears to have

believe, been some failures in the American trade in L

respectability ; but here, so fir as we know, no suspension of
payment whatever arising out of the state of American aft'ir.s
has taken place ; and we }tape, though there will be consi-
derable losses, they may not be found ruinous by the paities (in
whom they fall."
Tranquillity in commercial affairs prevailed in the city during
the whole of yesterday ; but great anxiety prevails for the ar•
rival of the American packet from New York of the 16th idt;
The disasters in the commercial community in the Unite'
States, we apprehend, has attained its height ; and there are

PURITY OF SIR ANDREW AGUECITEEK.-
the debate on Sir Andrew Agnew's Bill on Wednesday ci.ti3O
irig last, Major Beauclerk related an anecdote, which irliosC
House of Commons is likely to become a standing joke en*
the Hon. Baronet. Major Beauclerk stated that in traTellllo.
to town, he stopped in Exeter at the New London Inn, 11ice
after the hour at which dreams are true, he heard 1:4""
which he thought was familiar to his cars within the wa`lio
Parliament, order the waiter to bring him a beef-steak. it
1 oked round, and recognised, to his no small surprise,
Andrew Agnew as the demandant ; so, to make asserat2.4
doubly sure, he pulled out his watch, and ascertained tlie:ti
was Sunday morning, and consequently considered it his 1,110
to apprise the Hon. Baronet of the fact, and also to inform'og
that he subjected the landlord to a heavy penalty for comPlYtior,
with his request. It did not, however, appear that the tei

mafiosi prevented the advocate for Sunday observances -tea
satisfying the cravings of hun,Ter. The beef-steak, Sic" woos
duly disposed of, although the Hon. Baronet did not proem
his j3urney, but in due form rested on the Sunday fr°r°,l4
labour of travelling, while the Gallant Major, who wort'
quite so scrupulous, made the best of his way to town.
