THE FUNDS.

We have very few arrivals this morning, and the express
from Paris not being of much importance, (with the excep-
tion of the accounts from Madrid, which are of a gloomy
description from the South of Spain, caused by the dexte-
rous and rapid movements of Gomez through the various
provinces), have caused a gloom on the operations of Spanish
Securities ; as well as the ruse practised by the Spanish Mi-
nistry for the non-payment of the dividends. Still the
Spanish Activo Bonds maintain the leaving-off price of
yesterday, 19f 20, at which they opened ; Passive, sfi ;
Deferred, 81- ; Portuguese, 50/ 51 ; Three per
Cents., 33/.
Consols which closed yesterday at 88/ opened at 88/,
since which they have been done at 88/
Exchequer Bills, 11, 2 dis.; Exchequer Bills, 2d, 2 prem. ;
Bank Stock, 206 ; India Stock, 256} ; India Bonds,
4 prem.

Since the above has been written, Spanish has been
done 1 per cent. higher, at 21, now 20. The above rise
is owing to a report on Change of favourable accounts
having been received from Madrid, by express.

RALF-PAST ONE.

Consols have been buoyant during the morning, and have
been done at 89 for the Account ; are at present 88i 89 for
the Account, and 89 for Money—better for Money than the
Account.

Various reports have been in circulation during the whole
of the morning, respecting Gomez being defeated, which have
caused a rise of 14 per cent, in the Spanish Bonds. To this
report we do not give credit. We hear that the rise is owing
to an Express from Madrid, stating that Mendizabal, learn-
ing that his proposal to the Spanish bondholders to pay
the dividend has met with the greatest contempt, and
which would entirely destroy the Spanish credit in every
part of Europe, has invented another plan to pay the Spanish
Dividend, which was expected soon in London for the appro-
bation of the Spanish Bond holders.

Spanish Active, 20/ 21 ; Passive, 511; Deferred, 8/H ;
Portuguese, 52, has been done at 53 ; Three per Cents., 34;
Columbian, 221 ; Mexican, 22i.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening the
inquest on the body of George linnet], the young lad whose
death, it was alleged, had been caused by taking cantharides
or Spanish flies, was resumed at the White Horse, Car-
naby-market. A number of boys were then called, from
whose evidence nothing satisfactory could be collected. It
appeared that they were all aware that the deceased had
died from having taken some Spanish fly, but by whom it
was administered none of them would or could confess.
The Jury ultimately returned a verdict, " That the de-
ceased died from having taken cantharides into his sto-
mach ; but how administered there was no evidence to
show."

the Exchequer, 40,000/. has been invested with the Irish
