THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

During the whole of yesterday everything in respect to
commercial affairs was in a state of perfect tranquillity, and
good bibs obtained easy discount. Money in the Stock Ex-
change was plentiful, and could be obtained at 3 per cent.
The sudden rise in the Spanish Active Bonds in the early
part of the morning of near one per cent. is not as yet ac-
coul.tod for. Reports of a favourable nature were in cireula-
tic,u from the North of Spain, but they are net yet confirmed.
The French mail, on its arrival, may throw some light on the
subject.
Consols, which closed at 90-4 i for Money, and 99i 1, for
the April Account, opened this morninc, at the same price.

a revolution had broken out in Tunis, and that the ley had

been detained, in order to wait for further accounts from the
later place.

BLACICFRIARS BRIDGE.—The repairs of this
bridge. appear to go on very slowly, and the greatest inconve-
nience is experienced by watermen, lightermen, and bargemen
navigating their craft on the river in consequence of the stop-
page of some arches, the partial blocking up of others, and the
piles and other erections near it, which render the navigation
extremely dangerous ; indeed the evil is a more formidable one
than the groat fall of water and the narrow passages under Old
London Bridge, so long and justly complained of. On Wed-
nesday morning last a sand barge going down the river struck
against one of the piers, and the barge instantly sunk, drown-
ing one of the bargemen. His companion narrowly escaped a
similar fate. A boat was capsized on Sunday afternoon by
coning athwart the piles. There were three persons in it, who
were saved. The greatest caution is necessary in passing up
and down the Thames near this bridge. The repairs of three
arches have been completed in a substantial manner, and a
fourth is nearly finished. The masonry appears of a very solid
description, and if the other arches are restored in a similar
manner this once handiome bridge may bid defiance to the ra-
vages of time for many ages to come. At present the whole
editioe presents a most unsightly appearance. There are two
coffer-dams erected close to the piers, and the balustrades are
covered with wooden planks, in order to prevent foot passen-
gers from looking over them on the works beneath. Tho in-
tended removal of the balustrades for a plain parapet will not
add to the beauty of the bridge.
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OP ENGLAND AND
laeLa sp.—The General Annual Meeting of this Association
was held yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern ; Mr.
Cayley, M.P., was called to the chair, in the absence of the
Duke of Newcastle. The report, which was of great length,
was read by the Secretary, and gave a luminous account of
the proceedings of the Society, and referred to the present
prospect of the agricultural interests. The Society was con-
gratulated upon the improvement which had taken place in'the
prices of agricultural produce, but it was a matter of regret to
the Committee that this rise in the prices of corn was in con-
sequence of the failure of the crops in Scotland and Ireland.
The Committee did not recommend that any measure should
at present be brought forward in Parliament, but that a close
watch should be kept on the progress of the Church-rates Bill
through the Houses of Commons and Lords, involving, as it
did, such vast interests with respect to the lessees under the
Bishops and Deans. The receipts of the Society during the
last year were 9481., and after deducting the expenses, left a
balance of 491. 13s. 7d. The meeting was addressed by Lord
\Vynford, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Morley, Lord Darlington, M. P.,
Colonel Rushbrook, M. P., Mr. Wilks, M. P., Colonel Sibthorp,
M.P., Mr. Stephen, of Lancashire, Mr. Alenate, Mr. Ellis,
the Rev. Mr. Gwilt, Mr. Blackstone, M.P., Mr. Lewin, and
several other gentlemen. The report was adopted, the officers
for the ensuing year were selected, and after a vote of thanks
had passed to them for their services, and to the Chairman,
the meeting adjourned. The members of the Association af-
terwards dined together at the Crown and Anchor.

Yesterday afternoon as two of the Eton scholars
were coming to town, through Old Brentford, in a gig, at a
rapid pace, they came in contact with a chaise-cart, in which
were Mr. and Mrs. Gairdance, residents of Old Brentford,
who were proceeding in a contrary direction, when, by the
violence of the concussion, both vehicles were literally smashed
to pieces, and the whole of the parties thrown with great vio-
lence into the road. Police-constable Cushion, T 138, who
was on duty near the spot, and sacral other persons, imme-
diately ran to their assistance, when it was found that Mrs.
Gairdance, who is a very stout lady, was much injured about
the head. She was instantly coirvoyed in a state of insensi-
bility to her residence, and surgical assistance procured. On
examination, it was found, however, that no bones were broken.
The young gentlemen, who sustained no injury, gave their
names and addres,cs to Inspector Marguard, as Mr. Horatio
Mansfield, 51, Grosvenor-street, and Mr. Cost, 30, Hill-street,
Berkeley-square,
