THE FUNDS.

The important intell:gence received from Canada, by the New York
packet ship, of the .oth January, of the rebels having laid down their
arms in Navy Island, and evacuated it, which may be deemed a final
141Gsv to the Canadian insurrection, has given much satisfaction, both to
the Merchants and the public in general; and has caused some anima-
tion this morning in the British Funds, which opened 1 per cent. higher
than the leaving off price of yesterday, 9211 for the Account, with
every appearance of a further improvement, as few troops will now be
required to proceed from this country to Canada, consequently there will
be less expeases.

SUPPRESSION OF DONNYBROOK FAIR.--n the
Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, on Wednesday, the first of
s xty•five actions brought by the tent-keepers, usuallyagains
specu-
lators in providing refreshments at Donnybrook fair,
against
man Hodges, who put an end to said fair by his own
Monday to a late hour in the Queen's Bench, and was
'11",
thi,ri;y as Lord Mayor last year, was tried. It had occupied
pc stponed to that day, when the jury found a verdict for thei
Lord Mayor, thereby in effect virtually putting an extinguisior
on all the other trials of the like description. The act;ons
Mr. Madden, the proprietor of ths, fair, and its usually profit-
able tolls, &c , against the same defendant, for arbitrarily de-
priving him, by putting down the fair, of 4001. per annum, en-.
joyed under a patent, will come on during the present nisi
Arius sittings.
The provincial papers' of France mention a cautious
made of approaching the edges of ice after a fracture has taken
taken pllc2 and a person has fallen through,
which appears to
have been successfully resorted to, and saved many lives. It
.s for the person who comes to give aisistance to li flat upon
the surface and crawl to the edge, in which position his hands
are well disposed to catch the drowning person, and the weight
of. his body by I clog distributed over a greater surface, is much
d!rniniEhed. It might be well practised %Alien the edge of the
ice is otherwise unapproachal,l2.

BEET-ROOT SUGAR.—At the close of 1837 there
were 582 manufactories of home-made sugar in forty-two De-
partments of France. The produce of the manufacture
amounted in 1833 to 30,349,340 kilogrammes, or 29,822 tons,
of sugar, and in 1836 to 48,968,805 kiloaraintnes, or 48,094
tons. On an average, 20 kilogrammes of beet-root are re-
qu:red for the production of one kilogramme of sugar.
TIIE HIGH STEWARD OF OXFORD UNIVER-
SIT T.—We understand that this appointment has been given to
the Earl of Devon by the Duke of Wellington, as Chancellor,subject to the confirmation of Convocation. Several persons
of distinction, including Lord Ashburton, had been named
as likely to fill that high honorary office.—Jackson's ox-
ford Journal.
A vacancy has occurred in the office of one of the
six clerks of Chancery, by the death of Mr. Richard Pollen.
These lucrative appointments are in the gift of the Master of
the Rolls.

the Northesk with the most gratifying symptoms of a success-
fulseason.

HURSTMONCEUX.—On Tuesday last, or early on
Wednesday morning, a barn belonging to Mr. Jesse Smith,
of this parish, was broken open, and nearly three sacks of un-
winnowed wheat stolen therefrom ; the thieves were tracked
oghs t, or early on
Tuesday nearly to Boreham-street, a portion of the
al
road.
oOn Monday
was

stolennitl from
the ah ass
farm-
yard
of Mr. I'. Cosham, in this place. A subscription has
scatteredesda3 morning, along
v
been entered into in this parish to defray the expenses of a
night patrol during the winter months. Previous years have
proved the advantages which result from the establishment of
a watch, and no doubt similar benefits will follow from perse
vering in the same course.
