THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T W ELVE O'CLOCK.
We copy the following from the New York papers, re-
cently arrived :—" The commercial hurricane which is
sweeping over our devoted city uf New York, furnishes to
the lawyers as rich a harvest as the fetalsgourge of the
cholera did to the medical faculty.. Spite of the utter ina-
bility of either profession to stop in the slightest degree
the progress of the mischief, the shoals of protests are
yielding to the notaries from 50 dollars to lt7o per diem ;
and to carry the analogy further, the hourly and anlious
question every morning now is, as in the cholera times,
How many victims yesterday ? who goes next ?'—and thus
we have daily recorded those who have succumbed to the
convulsion, and a list of those whom the finger of busy
rumour has marked out as suspected cases, and whose turn
probably comes next."
The express from Paris this morning does not bring ac-
counts confirming the capture of Hernani by the Queen's
troops, which was generally looked upon in the City yester-
day as being correct. Still in Paris it had the effect of
improving the Spanish Stock one per cent.
THE FUNDS.

Consols closed yesterday firm at 91- to 911 for Money
and Time. The Money Market did not present any new
feature of consequence, and it was abundant in Money for
commercial purposes. _ _

The transactions in the New American paper was very
inked.

Money. Exchequer Bills, 32 34, premium ; India Bonds,
32 34, premium ; Bank Stock, 206 207 ; India Stock,

491 ; Three per Cents., 301; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per

HALF-PAST ONE.
We hear that a private letter from Paris received this
morning, states that the confirmation of the taking of Her-
nani was received in that capital on the 16th in the evening,
and was to be published on the following day. The Queen's
troops entered on the 13th.

The British Funds have improved since the early part of
the morninr, from 91i 4to 91i for Account ; Money
same ; Exchequer Bills 33 to 35, improved ; India Bonds,
35 to 33 premium ; Bank Stock, 2064 ; India do., 2594
to 260.

Every real improvement must, in the very nature of
things, benefit sooner or later, the human race—despite the
partial evil, which guide it as we may, is unfortunrely inse-
parable from a state of trans7tion.
