[NEW TIMES.

The English Funds did not preserve that firm-
ness on Saturday which had marked them for the two preceding
days. Rumours of the failures of two country banks, together
with other reports, had the effect of depressing Consols near
per cent. below the price at the close of Friday's market. We
can only learn with certainty the failure of one Bank in Devon-
shire, which is believed to be a branch of Sir Wm. Elford's, or
one in which he is materially concerned. Consols opened on
Saturday morning at 84#, and rose to 84k; but notwithstand-
ing the expresses brought over the prices of the French 3 per
Cents. higher than Friday, they could not maintain this quota-
tion, but fluctuated between 841 and 84/4 for a considerable
portion of the day, and at the close of the Market were reported
841 f, but the nearest price was 84/. Exchequer Bills were from
Bs. to 6s. dis. In the Foreign Market the Securities mostly de-
clined, and many of them in a greater degree than Consols.--
Colombian Bonds opened at 651, were done at 638, and closed
at 64. Mexican Bonds, 6 per Cent., from 671 to 65k, and
closed at 66. Brazil Scrip, 111 to 124 dis. Greek Bonds, 19.
Spanish Bonds, 15/. French 5 per Cents. have improved near
1 per cent. They commenced at 94f. 50c., rose to 96f., and '
closed at 95f. 25c. ; 3 per Cent. 65f. 50c. ; Exchange' 25f. 10c.
Upon the whole, we should say both Markets had a heavy ap-
pearance. In the Share Market the transactions in any of the
Securities were very limited, and most of them heavy. The
late call upon the Anglo Mexican Mining Shares appears to
have depressed them considerably ; they were done on Satur-
day morning at 10 pm., and left off at 11 pm.; Bolivar, 14f
pm.; Pasco Peruvian, 2 pm.; Potosi, 2 dis.; Tlalpuxahua,
25 pm. ; Alliance Fire, 2i pm. ; British Iron, 91 dis.; British
and Foreign Paper, 1/ dis. ; British and Irish Silk, dis. ;
Imperial Distillery, aj dis. ; Mexican Company, 41 dis.

There will be an Admiralty Session held at the
Old Bailey on Friday, the 2:3d10f this month—The Old Bailey
Sessions begin on Thursday next. At the latter there are already
above 150 prisoners for trial, and before the Grand Juries are
discharged, in all probability, there will be 40 or 50 more.—
The number of capital charges, it is understood, is not large.
A man about 35 years of age, full face, Pale
complexion, dark hair, who said his name was Simpson, and

time he has not returned, and nothing has been heard of the
