THE FUNDS.

The non-arrival of the express from Paris to the present
time, causes a general stagnation in the operations of both the
British and Foreign Markets. Consols opened this morning
at the prices they left off on Saturday, 91i s for the Account,
and 91 toy for Money ; Exchequer Bills, 20 22 ; India Bonds,
4 6 ; Bank Stock, 254 255.

In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active Bonds are not so
good as they were on Saturday, and have receded from 49-i
to 481 49 ; Portuguese, 831- 84 ; Three per Cents., 533- 54 ;
Columbian, 331; Mexican, 37. 38; Dutch Two and a halt
per Cents., 55k H ; Five per Cents., 1034 4.
All the endeavours to trace out he Stock-jobber who has
absconded with a large sum from the parties in the Stock Ex-
change, has proved ineffectual at present ; and in consequence
of which a larger reward is about to be offered. It is believed
that ere this he has safely landed on some part of the Continent
HALF-PAST ONE.
We are still without the arrival of the French Mails, in con-
sequence of which little or nothing is doing in the Funds.
The general topic of conversation entirely relates to the
person who has absconded with the money from the Foreign
Market, and we now find that a reward of a thousand pounds
has been offered for his apprehension. Various reports are in
circulation ; by some it is stated that he has been traced to
Northfleet, since which he has again returned to London.
Another account says that his Solicitor has sent to Mr. Wheeler
to have an interview with him this evening ; but at present
these reports are only on d;t.
Consols are not so good as in the morning, and may be
quoted 91k for the Account, and 90,+ 91 for Money ; Exche-
quer Bills, 20 22 ; India Bonds, 4 6 Bank Stock, 2151 ;
Spanish Active, 49 ; Portuguese, 83A- ; Three per cents
531 ; Columbian, 334 ; Mexican, 371.

Mr. Frederick Villiers, the candidate for Canterbury•
has been invited again to offer himself for that city in the
event of a vacancy or a general election, and there is not
the slightest douLt of his success. The Municipal Reform
Act has nearly doubled the Liberal interest in Canterbury.
We are happy to have it in our power to say that
not a doubt remains of the success of Sir Charles Style,
whenever a vacancy occurs in the borough of Scarborough.
The Reformers there are now united. They returned 17
out of 18 Town Councillors, and will no doubt be able to place
the man of their choice, the worthy Baronet, at the hee.d
of the poll.
The Marquis de Mirabeau is related to have said
of himself, " I am thought to be in a passion when I am
only in a pet." With how many irritable people is this
the case? and how many private quarrels might be avoided,
would mankind look more charitably on each other's infir-
mities.

ing circumstances t—Tbe young man, whose name was
James Ronald, was a printer at Lennoxmill Field ; he

toll-bar in the moor by a gentleman who was passing, about

every exertion was used to restore animation, but the vital
spark had gone as to the man, but the woman is re-
