FOREIGN FUNDS.

AMSTERDAM, MARCH 9.—The inland funds were very
firm to-day. but there was not much business. The
same may be said with regard to the Spanish debt; but
the French and .Portuguese, as well as the Austrian,
were in much demand. Russian without fluctuation.
The very considerable purchases in Peruvian funds, both
old and new, again occasioned a rise of 2 per cent.

MRS. JERMY'S HEALTH.—It is with sincere regret
that we are unable to continue the same favourable ac-
counts which we have hitherto given as to Mrs. Jermy's
state of health. The general shock given to the whole
nervous system of the patient, has, during the last few
days, assumed a character which occasioned great anxiety
to her medical attendants; and Mr. Nichols conceived it
expedient again to call in Mr. Key, the eminent surgeon,
from London. On Thursday afternoon, Mr. Key met
Mr. Nichols, in consultation, at Stanfield Hall. Since
the above was written, we have received the following
communication:—"Friday morning. We have much
satisfaction in stating that Mrs. Jermy way decidedly
better last evening. Many of the alarming symptoms
had much abated before the arrival of Mr. Key, who had
been telegraphed for." We believe that Mr. Key and
her constant medical attendants express great hopes of
Mrs. Jermy's ultimate recovery.—Norwich Gazette.
ROYAL LITERARY FUND.—The annual meeting of
