TUE FUNDS.

Money was lent yesterday at the Stock Exchange (about
one hundred thousand pounds), at Three per Cent. Consols,
which was supposed to be for replacing borrowed Stock.
There can be no doubt that very large amounts of Stock
were borrowed and sold during the severe pressure for
money, and the return of which is now called for.
The assistance obtained by the Commercial interest from
the Consol Market has been very extensive, and proved
beneficial, during the period when - money was so ex-
ceedingly scarce.
The Foreign Exchanges were on the advance yesterday.

the Account, opened this morning at 90i ; Money, 90i 1.

recovering from the effects of the concussion.—Dublin Paper-
We have to announce the demise of the Marquis of
Bath, who expired at his residence, in Grosvenor-street, on
Monday evening, in his lad year.' His Lordship had been for
some time seriously indisposed with dropsy, but his death was
rather unexpected. The intelligence was brought to Isis eldest
daughter, the Countess of Cawdor, while her Ladyship and
the noble Earl were entertaining the Duchess-Countess of
Sutherland and a select party at dinner, in South Audley-
street. The late Marquis was Lord-Lieutenant and Custos-
Rotulorum of Somerset, a Knight of the Garter, D. C. L., and
F. S. A. His Lordship married, 1794, the Hon. Isabella Eli-
zabeth Byng, third daughter of George fourth Viscount Tor-
rington, and is succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Henry
Frederick Viscount Weymouth (now Marquis of Bath), who
married a daughter of the present Lord Ashburton, by whom
.1:41 has a numerous family. The family name is Botteville.
One John Botteville, however, got the name of John of th'lnne,
from residing in one of the Inns of Court, whence the aristo-
cratic name of Thynne. The Duchess of Buccleuch is the
youngest daughter of the late Marquis.
The aristocracy have taken care of themselves at
the expense of the rest of the community. Food is especi-
ally taxed for their advantage. The duty on hops imported is
81. 11 s. per cwt., equal to 200 per cent. at least ; on the
im-
portation of potatoes (one of the great necessaries of life) 2s.
per cwt., or about 100 per cent. ; on the article of bacon 28s.
per cwt., or about 60 per cent. ; and, in addition, the impor-
tant articles of beef, mutton, and pork, were entirely prohi-
bited. The high duty on bread through the means of the
Corn-law is well known. Bread is 70 per cent dearer in Eng-
land than on the Continent.
The Earl of Fife, who appear 3 to have renounced
