THE FUNDS.

We are again exceedingly short of arrivals this morn-
ing, but more particularly from the westward. The
non-arrival of the Liverpool steamer, which is expected
to bring some important intelligence in respect to com-
mercial affairs, has greatly disappointed the merchants
who are connected with the United States, but the
wind having changed to the south-west we may expect
in a day or two the arrival of the above vessel.
The report that money is expected to become
very scarce in a few days, and that the Bank of
England are going to contract their circulation,
and take loans of money at the rate of 6 per Cent., has
rather caused some alarm in the City to the monied in-
terest, in consequence of which the Funds opened
heavy this morning.

Cr,nsols which closed on Saturday at 904 Money,
and 00.12- for the Account, opened at 901 Money, and
90k, sellers, both for money and time, at present may
be quoted rather better, 001 for the Account. Ex-
chequer Bills 6 4 discount ; Bank Stock 180 181 ;
India Stock 2474 2481.
In the Foreign Market there was a failure late in
the afternoon on Saturday, but we understand it was of
little consequence, as it was only a duckling. Spanish
Active left off at 27i I, at present 271 /.; Portuguese,
closed at 33i, may be quoted lower per cent., 321 ;
Three per Cents., 214 L owing to the unfavourable
accounts from Lisbon this morning ; Brazilian 72 73 ;
Colombian 301 31 ; Mexican, 301 31 ; Belgian, 1001
101 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., .511 ; Five
per Cents. 984 I.
The Foreign Funds are also heavy.

HALF-PAST OAF,
The transactions in the Foreign Market are the chief
features this morning. Both Spanish and Portuguese
Stock are very heavy, and have receded, the for-
mer from the leaving off price of Saturday, 276
to 26i ; Portuguese, from 334 to 314. This depres-
i; stated to be in consequence of the former ac-
count in the Foreign Market not having as yet been
adjusted.
This day being the 4th of November, and the monthly
payments of mercantile bills becoming due, causes a
scarcity of money, As yet, we do not hear of any de-
falcation having occurred in the commercial community,
The British Market has rather receded since the
early part of the morning. Consols may be quoted at
present, NI 4 for the Account, Money 904.
We do not hear that the above:depression in the market
is owing to any unfavourable news being received. The
Foreign Market appears rather in a gloomy state. Spa-
nish Active at present 9.81 ; Portuguese 81*; Colom-
bian 30 Mexican 30 ; Brazilian 73 ; Dutch Two-
-1 ;
and-a-Half per Cents 51-a 4 ; Five per Cents 981;
Spanish Passive ; Deferred 126 4.
No reports or further arrivals.

It is rumoured that the Marquis of Kildare will
be a candidate for the representation of the county
whence he derives his title at the next election. The
Tories at the late registry made no objections to the te-
nants of his noble father, Oct Duke of Leinster.
THE DRUNKARD'S END.—A Coroner's in-
quest was held on Friday evening at the Thatched
House Tavern, Lower-road, Islington, before Mr.
Wakley, on the body of William Weeden, aged thirty-
five years. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded to
33, Ward's-place, to view the body. The room in
which it lay presented an appearance truly wretched
and disgusting. It was in a most filthy state, and con-
tained only abroken stool and about a sack of shavings,
on which the deceased, his wife, and their four children
had lain for the last three months, with no other cover?
ing than a very small blanket. The intemperate habits
of the deceased, whose favourite beverage was " eight-
penny" ale, which he drank in large quantities, and
those of his wife, whose libations or 09 were equally
copious, and who died raving mad on Monday last, had
reduced them to their deplorable condition. The de-
;204,50 was so much affected by his wife's death that he
