THE FUNDS.

The notice from the Bank of England in the course
of yesterday was generally anticipated during the morning.
Consequently, on its being officially known, it did not
make any impression on the British Funds, although
50,000 Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced was brought
to market by the Bank broker, no doubt with an impresson
that the Funds would recede. It is also apprehended
that the Bank Directors wish to limit their discounts.
The immense quantity of corn imported of late into this
country must be paid for, and to accomplish which no
doubt bills to a large amount will be presented to the Bank
for discount, which may not meet the approbation of the
Directors. It cannot as yet be ascertained what effect it
will have on the foreign Exchanges, and there is a differ-
ence of opinion in respect to the weight it will have on the
Exportatlon of the precious metals from the' Bank of
England. •- . •- • • ,
