TILE FUNDS.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 9.51 for
the Account, opened this morning at the same price,
and as yet little speculation is going forward. The
departure of the great City Speculator for Paris
will rather tend to damp the market, and prevent
operations of great magnitude, until his arrival at
Paris. Consols at present may be quoted 9.5 i to
In the Foreign Minket little doing as yet. We
are informed that the Brazilian Minister yesterday
afternoon contradicted the report current for these
several days past, of the new Brazilian Loan.
What we stated yesterday, that the Revenue for
this Quarter would not be so unfavourable as was
at first anticipated, has proved correct. The Funds
continue steady, without experiencing a depression
in consequence of that circumstance.

DEATH FROM LOCK-JAW.—A man WI3O
had a quarrel on last Christmas Eve, wick some comps'
Ilion], was bitten in the thumb by one of them. The
consequence of the bite was a locked jaw, of which the
poor man died on Saturday. He refused to tell who wig
the person who inflicted the bite on him.—Dublin Mors'

The monthly average price of wheat in France
has been declared on the Slat of December last to be 21f. bC'
At the same period last year it was 22f. 95c. The de
cline, therefore, is of nearly 2 francs the hectolitre. A°
compared with the average of the preceding month, the
decline is of 91 centimes.

A burglary was attempted on Monday niglif
last, at the Custom-house at Newry. They forced op'
the Long-room door, and made their way to the Collector"
office, the desks of which they opened ; they also beolio
open all the other doors and desks, but we are happy t°
say that, with the exception of a few shillings only, thef,
were completely disappointed in their expectations
booty. The metal safe, in which a considerable sum 410
deposited, escaped their notice.—Dublin Evening post. _

A gentleman well known in the literary world
has lately been accused of some extraordinary acts of (I,'
linquency by several great printsellers. They waited upoo
him with an officer, and desired to inspect his portfolio,'
Ile wished them to call in two hours, when every thing
should be arranged for them. They would admit of 00
delay ; a search took place, missing property was found,
and the detected culprit owned he had been betrayed into
error by his " unfortunate enthusiasm for the art !"—.Sue
day Paper.

REMARKABLE FACT.— A curious cirocuir
stance occurred, within the last few .days, on board one 01
the City of Dublin Company's steam-packets. In acre'
vice between the boiler and the machinery the body of O
dead cat was discovered. On examining the remains °E:
puss, it was found that its ears and part of its head hao
been eaten away by the rats, in porsuit of which poor pusoi
must have been engsged, when its bead got inextricabli
jammed in the hole.— Liverpool Albion.

During the last week near. 400 more families/
containing more than a thousand souls, have been visited
and relieved, making an appalling aggregate already 01
upwards of 4,000 persons, whose daily income is some'
what short of one penny.—Leeds Patriot.
REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.—Mr. Wg'
Homants of Spaldington Lanes, Dear Howden, has, in bie
possession a goose, which has, within the last twellre
months, laid the extraordinary number of seventy egg*:
twenty-six at the usual time of laying, from which 06
produced, and brought up, seventeen fine goslings. She
began laying again about the end of harvest, and has con'
tinued to Lay an egg every other day since. She appear°
to be in excellent condition.—_ York Courant.
MURDER OF A WIFE BY A HUSBAND."'"
An atrocious and inhuman murder was committed about ten
days since, near Perase Lodge, in the county of Galway, O°
a strange female ; her head was literally broken to piece
by the perpetrator of the crime, who turns out to be 00
husband of the deceased. The monster is by trade a pea'
bar, and a native of LiMerick. He is fully committed i°
the county gaol to abide his trial. —Dub. Morn. .Register,

A NEW INVENTION.—Last Friday MOrni
between four and five o'clock, as we were quitting out
office, having got the Paper to press, we observed OOP
persons in the street, who had been protracting their
Christmas-eve potations to that hour of the night. Thei
were attentively observing the gas-illuminated windows °,
our press-room, which, it may be proper to observe, extol
over Mr. BERESFORD'S premises. The only object sal'
they could see was the lever-bar, and the balance weight
attached to it, which rose and fell about every 2 second.'
" There it goes again," said one, as the pull of the press-WC
raised the lever, and immediately let it fall again. We were
curious to know what they woul4 make of the machine, (
which so small a part could be seen ; at length, recollecting,
our neighbour's extensive business, and the extra demeo
for clothing at this season of the year, -the, former speat!l;
said, " I know what it is, JACK ;"--" Why what?" Ow
the other. " Why," said he, staggering off up Chandler'''
lane, ~" it's Christmas time, and BERESFORD'S ma/dog
breeches by steam I"—Nottingham Review.
CHRIST CHURCH.—In the Course of JO
week, several curious relics havi been discovered in time
foundation of this church, in the courseof the improve'
ment making in St. Andrew-gate corner, in this city. T 1
coffins of lime-stone, one of them formed to the shape °
the head and shoulders of the corpse, and both made
with a hole in the bottom, through which moisture
might escape, two ancient toznb•stones with curious
obliterated inscriptions, and on one the figures of °
male and female in the attitude of prayer, and also
square stone hollowed into the form of a large mortar,
or vessel for the purpose of beating or crushing, hale,
been turned up. These remains are evidently of a fe'
anterior date to the present edifice, ancient 'as is its sr
pearance, and indicate the existence, in the neighbour'
hood, of some religious building whose ruins have bee'
made available in the erection of the structure now under'
going alteration. An inspection of Christ Church ale;
gives us reason to suppose, that this is not the first tiro;
it has been reduced in size. The two arches which apPes,
on the exterior facing the Old Haymarket, betoken its e!,
tension in that direction, and if the funds could be cur
tained, it might have been interesting to the antiquari;
and to all who feel desirous of ascertaining the ancieut
state of our city, to have had the original foundation "
the edifice traced by the excavators.— York Courant.
