THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have few arrivals this morning—only the French and
Ostend mails, with ship letters from Bombay of old dates.
We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp
of Sunday, bringing the prices from Amsterdam of the 13th
inst. Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 55 11-16; Five per
Cents., 1031. It does not bring any other news of importance.
The non-arrivals cause a stagnation in the operations of the
various funds. Consols opened at the prices they closed at
yesterday-90i 91 for Money, and 91k 1 for the Account ;
Exchequer Bills, 17 19 ; India Bonds, 3 5 ; Bank Stock,
214 k; India Stock, 252 253.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds left off heavy
yesterday, at 491 k-, opened this morning at 49i ;
Portuguese, 83k 84 ; Three per Cents., 531.,- 54 ; Columbian,

and-a- Half per Cents., 54j. 55k.
The express from Paris being of Sunday's date, we have no
French prices quoted; but they have somewhat receded at
Tortoni's, owing to the report that M. Humann had resigned.

FALL OF Two ARCHES OF THE GREENWICH
RAILROAD.—About a quarter past seven on Sunday night
a fearful alarm was produced in the vicinity of Bermondsey-
street, by the noise of a sudden and tremendous crash. It
was soon ascertained that the crowns of two of the arches
of the railroad immediately opposite Queen Elizabeth's
Grammar School, by Bermondsey-street, had suddenly given
way, and had, with their great superincumbent weight of
brickwork and earth, become heaps of ruins. A number
of children were in the practice of playing under the
arches, and as the fall was quite sudden, it is impossible to
say whether the accident may not have been attended with
the loss of life ; but it is hoped, from all the information
that can be this morning obtained, that such is not the case.
The arches that have fallen in were the last of the chain
running from St. Thomas's Hospital to Bermondsey-street
They were about 30 feet high ; the piers arc about four
feet thick, of solid brickwork, and the crowns of the arches
were a brick and a half in thickness, with seven courses of
bricks above. The two fallen arches are understood to
have been completed about two months back. On Mon-
day last some cracks in the upper part of the work of the
three last arches caused au apprehension of danger, and the
second and third arches were shored up, but it should seem
not effectually. The cause of the accident is obvious from
the clean state of the fallen bricks, and their general separa-
tion from each other. Either the mortar must have been
bad, and not capable of producing a proper cohesion, or, as
is more probable, its binding powers were destroyed by the
effects of the two successive sharp frosts we have had almost
from the period of the completion of the arches. The piers
are still standing, but are in a tottering state. The exter-
nal pier of the third arch is sunk considerably from the per-
pendicular, and there are several frightful fissures above.
The spirited Lessee of Di ury-lane Theatre, notwith-
standing the continued attraction of the Bronze Horse and
The Jewess, is preparing for representation a new tragedy,
written by a friend of Mr. Macready, by whom the play
will be superintended, and who will perform the principal
character. The whole strength of Mr. Bunn's company
will be engaged in this drama, which is said to possess a
powerful interest. The present week being considered the
last of the holidays, the pantomime will be played every
night at Drury-lane Theatre, with the Bronze Horse and
The Jewess, or with the Siege of Rochelle and The
Jewess.

HANOVER, JAN. 9.—The health of her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Cambridge is much improved.
he bulletin of to-day says—" Yesterday there was already
a marked improvement ; last night the patient had a pretty
long sleep, which has had a beneficial effect ; the fever is
considerably abated, and the symptoms are becoming every
moment less unfavourable."

We regret that the state of health of our worthy re-
presentative, John Bonham Carter, Esq., is such, that lie
will not be able to attend closely to his Parliamentary duty
at the early part of the Session ; he will pair off immediately
after the Address in answer to his Majesty's opening speech,
to which Address no serious opposition is intended by the
Tory party, and retire for a short period to take the benefit of
the Leamington Spa Water, in anticipation that after a short
use of it, he will be able effectually to discharge. h legisllkt
