THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We are exceedingly sorry to state that letters are in town
from Berlin, bringing accounts of the total defeat of General
Gielgud's army by the Russian General Tolstoi, and that the
revolution in Lithuania is at an end.
A letter from Warsaw says —" At present all attention is
turned towards the palatinate of Plock. Some Russian regi-
ments of Infantry have already passed the Vistula. The Gene..
ralissimo has in echellon a part of the troops between Modlin and
Praga, and a general battle is soon expected. The escape of
General Rudiger's division is attributed. to the capture of three
aides-de-camp sent by the General-m-Chief with despatches to
three of the Polish Generals. The third aide-de-camp suffered
himself to be killed rather than give up his papers."
Letters from Spain state that the Duchess de Berri has ap-
pointed a Council of Ministers for the regency of Henry V.,
composed of Blacas,d'Haussez, and Montbel. This Council is in
communication with the Catholic congregations and associations,
vv!•lo are charged to organize a civil ',arm the departments of
the south and east of France ; and a legion is also forming on the
other side of the Pyrenees of emigrants and chouans, also officers
of the ancient Government of France.

By accounts from Paris it appears that on the Ist of June a
treaty was signed between the Austrian and Prussian Govern-
ments, as well as the Confederation of the Rhine, that at the
first requisition all the ditlerentcontingent troops, to the number
of three hundred thousand men, were to march to the Rhine.
The above treaty was only known to the French Ministers
within a few days.
The express from Paris is of little importance this morning,
with the exception of bringing the French Rentes rather higher.
IVemay now expect every hour the final result of the Congress
of Belgium in regard to the deliberations on the eighteen ar-
ticles. The accounts from Poland, we are sorry to observe, are
of a very unfavourable nature to the brave Poles.
Cobbett's trial causes a little excitement in the city.
The Funds still continue heavy at the leaving off price of yes-
terday, 8214 for the Account, with little doing.
The speculators are waiting the result of the affairs of Belgium.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE

The accounts from the theatre of war this morning are of a
contradictory description. From Berlin they are very gloomy, as
in our previous report, since which we are informed that one of
our Members of Parliament arrived last night from Paris, who
positively asserts that Wilna has been captured by Gielgud's
army; also, that the French Government has sent a remon-
strance to Russia, insisting that Poland must be put on the same
footing as in the year 1814. We must now wait for a further ar-
rival from the theatre of war, to be acquainted with the real si-
tuation of affairs in that quarter.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 82%
for the Account, are at present 821 i %, with little doing. The
depression of the Market is owing to some sale of money stock.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.

THREE O'CLOCK

Consols, S2i 3.

Madame PASTA takes her benefit this even-
ing, and will no doubt experience that liberality which
her varied excellencies so much merit.

DEATH OF MR. ELLISTON.—This once
eminent comedian died this morning at half-past six
o'clock, at his house in Great Surrey-street, Blackfriars-
road. He had been for some months in a declining state,
and was in his 58th year.

The quarterly dividends commenced paying
at the Bank of Englaud this morning. There was a very
full att,ndance on the part of the public. The amount
paid to the public this quarter is much greater than that
due at the expiration of the former quarter. Money
is in great demand in the city, and second-rate bills are not
easily to he discounted.

CORONER'S INQuEsT.—Yesterday an in-
quest was held before Mr. STIRLING, at the Elephant and
Castle, St. Pancras, on view of the hotly of ANN, the wife
of Mr. BENJAMIN GWILTS, fishmonger, of Cranbourne-
passage, Leicester-square, who was found drowned in a
pond near Maiden-lane, on Sunday morning last. It ap-
peared from the evidence of Mr. Gsvalms, that the de-
ceased had, for some time past, been labouring under
mental derangement, in consequence of the loss of an
only child, of wkom she was doatingly fond. That cir-
cumstance preyed so heavily upon her mind, that he was
induced, some time ago, to place her in Roxton mad-
house, from which she bad lately been released. On
Saturday morning last she breakfasted with him, and
was very melancholy. Immediately afterwards she was
missing, and it was subsequently discovered that her body
had been found drowned. In her pockets were two so-
vereigns and some silver.—The Jury returned a verdict
of—lnsanity.

FARRELL, of the Pavilion Theatre, has of-
fered the use of his house gratuitously, in aid of the funds
for the relief of the distressed Irish, on which occasion
the whole of the performers give up their salaries. The
example is excellent, and will, we trust, be followed by
every Thespian corps in the k;ngdorit.
