We have not a feature worth observation in regard to the
Funds. Consols have continued during the morning at 92%
to 4 for the Account, and the house is thinly attended.
By the Express from Paris it appears, according to the tele-
graphic despatch from Toulon, that the French Expedition was
wind-bound in the Bay of Palma. It also brings the French
Rentes lower ; but this has had no effect on the Consol market.
Our arrivals this morning are very scanty, consequently we
we have no intelligence to communicate.

CHARING-CROSS AND STRAND IM-

PROVE3IENTS.

Yesterday a Meeting of Tradesmen and others, residing in
the vicinity of the above improvements, was held at the British
Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, to consider the propriety of peti-
tioning Parliament for remuneration for the severe losses they
are sustaining through the removal of the houses in the neigh-
bourhood, and the long-continued dilapidations.
J. C. HOBHOUSE, Esq. M.P. in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN, after observing upon the great delay that
had taken place in completing the improvements, stated that he
had applied to the Commissionors of Woods and Forests on the
subject, and the answer he received from Lord Lowther and Mr.
Arbuthnot was, that the funds placed in their hands were small,
and that they could not proceed with greater rapidity, nor grant
the remuneration applied for. He concluded by expressing his
willingness to support a Petition to Parliament, detailing the
facts of the case.
Many most respectable Tradesmen in the Strand and elsewhere
stated that they had sustained great losses by the ruinous condi-
tion the houses to be pulled down were left in. One said he had
not had a customer in his shop for nine days the fact was, that
ladies and others of their friends were positively afraid to go in
the neighbourhood of the Strand, for, if they were not killed,
they knew they should be covered with dust. Another Trades-
man said he had lost 1,0001. in two years ; and a third stated that
his business had decreased one-half.
Mr. MIDGLEY, another gentleman, addressed the Meeting
on the ruinous consequences of the long-protracted improve-
ments; and ultimately a series of Resolutions were agreed to,
which stated the severe losses sustained by the removal of the
neighbourhood, and referred in strong terms to the delay which
had taken place in making the improvements.—A Petition to
Parliantent, founded on the Resolutions, and praying relief, was
also .adopted:74Thafilts were then voted to the Chairman, and
the Meeting adjourned.

A Report has prevailed that the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE has been sent for to England by the Duke of
WELLINGTON. This is incorrect. His Royal Highness
the Duke of CLARENCE (probably with the knowledge
and approval of the Duke of WELLINGTON) was the per-
aqn who wrote to the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, urging the
propriety of his paying a speedy visit to hie Royal
Brother at Windsor. There wag no politiCal object in-
volved in this invitation.— Court Journal.

There seems to be a growing disposition
among the monied men here,• to make investments in
French stock, notwithstanding that the situation of that
country is such, in the opinion of the more intelligent
FFrench merchants, as to impair its credit and to threaten a
riher ileprpgcm, The more obvious reasons for investing
now are, the fall wMcli Ilia- lately taken piece, and thz.
higher rate of interest afforded by the French stock, the
security of which is esteemed, in the long run, not to be
inferior to any ; and as most of the English holders had
the sagacity to sell on the first change of the French 31i-
p;stry, since which a fall of 5 or 6 per cent. has taken
considerable advantage to
