THE FUNDS. (THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.
We are again without any arrivals this morning, owing
no doubt to the late stormy weather, consequently we have
no information to communicate at present. We observe
in a Morning Paper an article stating that by commercial
letters received from Fr Ink fort and Vienna, the cause of the
great scarcity of money which has prevailed in the principal
cities of the Continent, is said to be owing to the house of
Rothschild, caused by some misunderstanding which has
lately taken place between that house and the Austrian
Government, in regard to the contracting of a four per
cent. loan in the time of peace, which loan rose to six
or seven per cent. premium. For our own part we cannot
conceive the drift of this article, or what blame there can be
attached to the house of Rothschild. Jew, Christian, or
Turk, undoubtedly, would make the best bargain they
could for themselves, and if they possessed an article
that was scarce they would naturally demand a good
price for it. No doubt, the Austrian Minister of Finance
had sufficient judgment to know if the said loan would be
advantageous to his master; or if he could have contracted
the said loan with other banking-house at a cheiper rate
than with with the house of Rothschild, he certainly would
have done it : for instance, in underwriting policies a
merchant would sooner give one or two per cent. more on
a policy to an underwriter, knowing him to be a safe man,
than having his business done at a lower rate. This, no
doubt, was the view of the Austrian Minister of Finance,
knowing that the payment of the loan would be punctually
paid. Besides, is there not a great risk on the part of the
contractor, as it often happens that loans are at discount,
and we have known some years ago that houses of the
first respectability have been entirely ruined by them.
Therefore, in our opinion, it was an incumbent duty on
the part of the Rothschiltis to make the best bargain they
could for themselves, which no doubt the writer the
article in question would have done himself, if placed in
their situation.
Consols opened this morning at the same price they left
off yesterday, 9'21 for the Account, with little or nothing
doing at present, owing to the great dearth of information.
The Foreign Market is in the same state of stagnation;
Portuguese Bonds rather lower.

Sir ROBERT PEEL, we observe, has declareel
the intention of Government to introduce a Bill for the
regulation of the Royal privilege to import sugar duty
flee, and to put under the control of I'arl►ament the at
present indefinite sums accruing front the exercise of the
prerogative. This result is honourable to the Govern-
ment, and the thanks of the public are due to Sir JAMES
Gtzn►iani, for awakening Parliamentary and Ministerial
attention to this very important subject.—Times.

In reference to a Police report in our first
page, relating to Mr. Woon,, of Covent-garden Theatre,
we are requested to state that that gentleman was at Bow•
street Office to-day, in hopes of seeing Sir ItrcHArtn
131RNIE, who is in possession of the facts of the caw.—
This would have enabled Mr. WOOD to have justified the
course he has pursued, which has all along met with the
approbativn of Sir RicuARD.
