THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A railing on the Cornhill side has been fixed this morning, extending
about half-way over the road, for the purpose of preventing persons
approaching the rums while the workmen are at work clearing the
rubbish off the ground. At the back part of the Exchange, opposite
the Bank, they have boarded up the door to the entrance of the Royal
Exchange, and everything seems now to be preparing to commence a
general clearing away of the ruins ; it will no doubt take some time be-
fore the extensive premises are in a fit state to commence the re-
re-building. It is generally expected that a great improvement in the
structure will take place--particularly in its having-a covered roof.
Upon the whole, things have a brighter appearance in the City this
morning The shops on the Cornhill side are open, and of course the
public can approach them with ease, owing to the good management of
the police. At present we do not hear any more pumping of the en-
gines, and the great quantity of water thrown out by the engines we
perceive has entirely frozen over the road-way and pavement on the
Bank side, which now is being cleared off.
The walls round the ruins are still standing, as well as the tower on
the Cornhill side. The firemen have just pulled down a stack isfchim-
neys on the ruins of the Royal Exchange Insurance Office, as they are
anxious to get at the large iron chest fixed underneath the chimneys.
It is stated this morning, that Lloyd's will remain only until Tues•
day at the London Tavern, and afterwards be removed to the South
Sea House.

There have been no arrivals this morning, with the exception of the
ordinary mails. Stagnation prevails in the operations of the various
funds. .

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

Nothing else is doing on the ruins of thell oyal Exchange but erect-
ing barricades round the back part, of the same description as at the
front. Some of the firemen are still occupied in searching for papers and
books amongst the ruins, and none of the walls have as yet given way.
The engines which are still on the spot, few in number, are deserted
by the firemen; consequently no further injury is apprehended. Some
of the walls are being propped up—those which appear in a dangerous
state.

The two iron safes continue still in the walls belonging to the Royal
Exchange Insurance Office. The goods which were saved from the fire
are being moved from the plac.'s they were deposited in during the
fire. A great number of spectators are continually coming to view
the ruins.

The meeting of the Underwriters of Lloyd's at the London Tavc►u
has terminated, and they have come to a resolution of petitioning the
Drapers' Company for their extensive premises to carry on the business
of Lloyd's; and it is expected the Drapers' Company will grant the
request.

INDIAN MODESTY.—A few days ago, Dr. Bar-
low, the phrenologist, was taking a cast in plaster of the bust
of one of the Indian squaws. She was young, beautiful, and
possessed a fine neck and exquisite bronze bust. As she sat
under the doctor she held her blanket close up to her neck.
The savan, wanting to take an outline of her fine Pawnee
breast, attempted gently to remove the blanket a little further
down the bosom. Her eyes flashed fire—she started up—she
blushed—she held up her blanket to her very chin with re-
doubled vehemence. " What is the matter ?" asked Dr. Bar-
low of the interpreter. " Sha-nia. pho-la-wish-ton-pliosh-
gosh-ala-manaton-phohon ?"-said the interpreter in the sono-
rous Pawnee dialCet. " Cala-vash-na-fol-pouch-fesh-cash ?'
replied the beautiful black-eyed squaw, blushing up all over
from chin to forehead. The interpreter turned to Dr. Bar-
low ;—she says, doctor, " Do you take me to be a white
woman ? Do you think I can uncover my neck as the white
woman does ?" What a singular instance of female modesty
in uncivilised life ! There is nothing that has so shocked the
Indian squaws during their visit here as the broad display of
female charms which characterises our refined manners and
social tastes.—. New York Herald.

SHETLAND STOCKINGS.—It was stated in the
Shetland Journal, No. 13, that some of our loyal country-
women had forwarded to London a specimen of Shetland
hosiery, of a very fine description, for presentation to her
Majesty and the Duchess of Kent. We have now the plea-
sure to announce, that not only have the illustrious personages
alluded to been pleased to receive, in the most gracious man-
ner, this testimony of the loyalty and affectionate respect of
our country-women, but her Majesty has actually constituted
herself the patroness cf the female industry of Shetland, and
has ordered a dozen of pair of the finest description of stock-
ings to be made for her own use. We are enabled to add,
and which we do with much gratification, that her Majesty's
gracious patronage is likely to produce most important benefits
to the industry of the female population of our islands. Shet-
land hosiery, especially of the finer description, is likely to
become very fashionable in London ; and we arc assured that,
besides the Queen's order, some others have lately arrived;
and one, in particular, from a lady of high quality, for a con-
siderable number of pairs. —Orkney and Shetland Journal.
