THY FUNDS.

There being few arrivals this morning, owing to the north-easterly
winds, there is a great scarcity of intelligence. The speculators in the
♦arious funds, both in the British and Foreign markets, are at a stand-
still, and most of the prices are at the same quotations as they closed at
on Saturday. There is a general excitement in respect to the sleeting
of Parliament to.morrow, particularly on the Canada affairs. Much
stress is laid on the appearance in the Commons of Mr. Hume and Mr.
Roebuck.

until they obtain an answer from the Drapers' Company.

This is settling-day in the Foreign Market, and tomorrow in the
British Market. The broken and jobbers are chiefly employed in tat-
tling their accounts, which are not of a very heavy nature, consequently
it is expected it will be easily settled.

Late this afternoon an alarm of fire was given at
the Stock Exchange, which, had it not been subdued, would
have created dreadful havoc. It arose from the stupid experi-
ment of some plumbers employed to thaw the ice in the pipes
and gutters on the roof, by igniting straw, when the flames
caught a lumber room at the top of the premises. Mr. Braid-
wood immediately attended with three engines, and extin-
guished the flames, not without expressing his opinion of the
foolhardy experiment.
At the meeting at Lloyd's to-day, it was resolved
that a large deputation should wait on the Warden and Court
of Assistants of the Drapers' Company, respecting their de-
sire to occupy their hall, when they were courteously informed
that a meeting of the Company would be called, and their de-
termination given on Thursday next. In the meantime, the
books of Lloyd's Association will be removed from the Old
London Tavern on Tuesday evening, to the South Sea House,
where, on Wednesday morning, the usual business of Lloyd's
will be carried on.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF ELDON.—Died at his
residence, in Hamilton Place, on Saturday the 13th day of
January, 1838, in the 87th year of his age,---The Right Ho.
nourable Sir John Scott, Earl of Eldon, &c. He was born
on the 4th of June, 1751, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and in 1766,
entered at Oxford, at University College, of which We subse-
quently became a fellow, and in 1771 he obtained the Chan-
cellor's prize for the English essay. In 1773, he married
Elizabeth (the late Lady Eldon, who died in June, 1831,)
daughter of Aubone Surtees, Esq., and in the same year en-
tered as a student in the Middle Temple, and was called to
the bar in 1778, and was made King's Counsel in 1783. in
1788, Mr. Scott was appointed Solicitor-General and
Knighted, and Attorney-General in 1793. In 1799 he was
appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and created a
Peer by the title of Baron Eldon of Eldon in the county
Palantine of Durham. In 1801, Lord Eldon became Lord
High Chancellor of Great Britain, but resigned the Great
Seal in Feb.' 1806; he was re-appointed in April 1807, from
which period he continued to hold that office until 1827, being
altogether a period of nearly twenty_five years. In July, 1821,
he was created Earl of Eldon, and Viscount Encombe of En-
combe in the county of Durset. The office of High Steward
of the University of Oxford was held by Lord Eldon from
1801. Lord Eldon was the younger brother of the late Hon.
Sir William Scott, Baron Stowell. He is succeded by his
Grandson, Viscount Encombe.

We are informed that in the embarrassment which
the position of Lower Canada has placed the present minis-
ters, they were glad to apply to the fountain head of military
knowledge—to the Duke of Wellington—for advice and in-
struction ; but, previously to so doing, they had the politeness
to say that possibly his Grace would decline communicating
with a government to which he was, on principle, opposed.
The ans user of the Duke is worthy of his name, " I am a public
servant," said he, " and all the advice and assistance I can
give is at the service of my Sovereign,"—Morning Post
