THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.
The arrivals this morning are few, and not of importance;
we have one from Calcutta three days later than the last ac-
counts, but nothing has as yet transpired of its contents.
A paragraph in a Morning Journal states, that the City was
thrown into great consternation yesterday by the announcement
of an extensive failure, which caused great excitement on
'Change; no other failure is known, except that at Calcutta,
which was made public three days ago.
The Funds continue inactive at present, and Consols, which
left off yesterday at 92% for the account, opened at 92% 34 ; at
present they may be quoted at 92% %, and 92% % for money.
Nothing further has as yet transpired relative to his Majesty.
This being settling day in the Foreign market the Brokers are
busy in adjusting their accounts, and prices continue much the
same as yesterday. We do not hear of any failures at present.

TW 0 O' CLOCK.
Prince Leopold has arrived from Paris in London.
Accounts from Memel, of the 17th of April, state that there
was much ice still in the harbour, which impeded the inland
navigation.
In the Corn Exchange this morning the market was plenti-
fully supplied, but little business was doing, and the holders of
corn were not willing to lower the prices. Wheat remains the
same; Barley rather higher; in Oats no alteration;
The Funds are not so good as in the early part of the morn-
ing, when they were 92% for the Account; at present they are
92% sellers, for Money 92% %.
The reports are unfavourable in regard to the King's health.
In the Foreign Market the account at present appears to go
off well, considering the heavy fluctuation in Greek and Spanish
Stock during the account,—the former from 10 to 11 per cent.,
and the latter about six per cent. Brazil Stock has rather im-
proved. The other foreign Securities are much the same as
yesterday.

DEATH OF THE RIGHT REV. Da. Lo-
GA N.-Died, on Wednesday the 2lat instant, at the Cove
of Cork, where, for the recovery of his health, he had
been ordered by his physicians, the Right Rev. Doctor
ROBERT LOGAN, Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath.—
Dublin Morning Register.
KING'S THEATRE.—Last night Madame
MALIBKAN G_kECIA appealed, for the first time this
season, on these boards, and received a very warm and
flattering reception from a full and fashionable audience.
La Cenerentola was the opera selected for the occasion,
in which MadameLulea-al; of cour,e sustained the
principal character. Iler performance was eminently
successful ; and, if we may Judge from the applause with
which it was greeted throughout the entire opera, we
should say not only that her past popularity has suffered
no diminution, but that she has attained a degree of favour
with Ui scarcely surpassed by that of the most fortunate
of her predecessors. The other characters of the piece
were distribut -d as usual. DONZELLI displ eyed his un•
usual powers in the part of Don .Ramiro, and SANTINI
and itatiartocr sustained the parts of Dandini and Don
~liagnifieo with their usual ability.
DUELLING.—A highly respectable meeting
was held yesterday at Morrison', great room, to take into
consideration the best means of preventing the breach of
courtesy and waste of life in society. On the motion of
Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE, Mr. BENNETT took
the chair, and read the requisition which assembled the
meeting. Several speeches were made, but no definitive
plan adopted.
CENTRE OF GRAVITY.—When a porter
carries a load, his position mac be regulated by the centre
of gravity of his body and the load taken together. If he
bore the load on his back, the line of direction would pass
beyond his heels, and he would fall backwards. To bring
the centre of gravity over his feet ho accordingly leans
forward. If a nurse carry a child in her arms, she leans
back for a like reason. When a load is carried on the
head, the bearer stands upright, that the centre of gravity
may be over his feet.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Gyclo-
pcedia.
CENTRE OF GRAVITY.—In ascending a hill
we appear to incline forward, and in descending to lean
backward ; but in truth, we are standing upright with re-
spect to a level plane. This is necessary to keep the line
of direction between the feet. A person sitting on a chair
which has no back cannot rise from it without either
stooping forward to bring the centre of gravity over the
feet, or drawing back the feet to bring them under the
centre of gravity,—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cycloprdia.
