THE FUNDS.

In respect to the Foreign Exchanges yesterday, that
of Hamburg was rather lower, and Paris rather im-
proved ; Dutch much the same.

feature worth noticing is Spanish Stock, which is very
heavy at present owing to the unsettled state of affairs
at Madrid, also it is expected, by the arrival of the next
Lisbon mail, which is expected on Monday, that it will
bring unfavourable intelligence from the South of Spain,
in particular from Cadiz.

HALF-PAST ONE.

To the present time there is a stagnation in the ope-
rations of the various finds, both in the British and
Foreign markets. The speculators in Spanish are wait-
ing the result of the affairs of Madrid, and those in the
British are looking to the affairs of the East, which
have been so long in a state of uncertainty.
Consols have been during the morning at 904 for
the Account, with scarce a bargain doing. We hear
that the Bank has received a good supply of sovereigns.
Consols :are at present a shade lower, 90, both f'cr
Money and Account. Exchequer Bills 5 4 6 dis.;
India Bonds, 7 dis. ; Bank Stock, 1781 179.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active, 251 ; Por-
tuguese, 32i ; Three per Cents , 22 ; Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents., 52k.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—His Grace
arrived at Apslcy House at twenty minutes past six
o'clock last evening from Walmer Castle, accompanied
by Dr. Hume and Sir Astley Cooper. The Noble and
Gallant Duke, although not completely recovered from
his recent illness, will attend the Privy Council to-by.
The Duke of Devonshire arrived at Devonshire
House, at an advanced hour last evening, from Chats-
worth, Derbyshire, to attend the Privy Council.
Earl Cadogan arrived at his residence in Picca-
dilly, from Scotland. 'We are happy to say the Noble
Earl is in much better health than when he left town.

The Earl and Countess of Tankerville arrived at
Mivart's Hotel yesterday from Wooler Castle, their
seat in Northumberland. The Earl and Countess
have paid several visits en route to town.
Lord Powerscourt has consented to preside at
the annual dinner of the Bath Church of England Lay
Association on the 9th of December.
SACRED HARMONIC SOClETY.—Handeys
splendid oratorio, Solomon, was performed last evening
by this Society at Exeter Hall, which was crowded, as
usual, with enthusiastic listeners to the beautiful sacred
music of the glorious composer. Miss Birch, Miss Mas-
son, and Mrs. T. H. Severn (whom we used lately to
notice as Miss E. Cawthorn), were the lady vccaiists,
and Phillips, Novello, and Hobbs the gentlemen.. The
superb and mighty swell of harmony from more than
five hundred voices filled the measure of grandeur of the
magnificent choruses. Of these nothing could surpass
the imposing beauty and solemnity. The double chorus,
" From the Censer,- was admirable, and the " May no
rash intruder," terminating the first part, was encored.
The other encore of the evening was the recitative and
air," With thee th' unsheltered moor," sung exquisitely
by Miss Birch, who throughout acquitted herself finely,
as she ever does at these sacred oratorios. Mrs. T. H.
Severn's exertions are also deserving of high commen-
dation. In " Thy sentence, great King," she was very
warmly applauded. Miss Masson was less effective than
we have sometimes heard her, and retains the fault of
anticipating her notes—an error of taste and judgment
analogous to the false pause of Macready in ei"uti"'
The gem of the evening's performance was the beautiful
trio," Words are weak," by Miss Birch, Miss Masson,
and Mrs. Severn. Nothing could be better. Phillips
always sings sacred music grandly, and Hobbs and
Novelle, touched their average calibre of excellence.
The oratorio afforded altogether a fine treat to its
crowded audience.
