THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the course of yesterday afternoon a notice was posted in the Stock
Exchange, from Mr. Jaudon, to the following purport :

" BONDS OF TIIE BANE OF TILE UNITED STATES.-Holders of the
Bonds of the United States, due on the lot day of April next, are hereby
informed that they may receive the amount, under a discount of 3 per
cent. per annum for the expired time, ou presentation at the agency of
the said Bank, No. 52, Old Bond street, between the hours of twelve
and three o'clock. (Signed) " JAUDON."

The above step, on the part of Mr. Jaadon, is attributed to his having
more money in his hands than he can employ.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were on the advance,
owing to bills on the Continent being very plentiful. The rate on Paris
advanced to 2.5 f. 90c.

The lowering of the rate of discounts by the Bank of England con-
tinues to have an effect both on the funds and commercial affairs.
Consols were during yesterday buoyant, and reached 93 % for the
Account, closing firm at 931 ; Money, 931 to 931. Money continues
abundant.

The general opinion in the City is that Mr. Jaudon will not ex-
perience much trouble in discounting the Bonds of the Bank of the
United States at 3 per Cent., as they are at present discounted by the
bankers at 21- per cent.
We this moment hear that the New York packet ship, of the 10th

AT a MEETING of the LONDON COFFEE
and EATING HOUSE-KEEPERS, held at Eastey's
Hotel, Southampton-street, Strand, on Friday, the 2d of March,
Mr. Humphreys in the Chair—
It was Resolved—That the combination of Coal-owners and
Factors for limiting the supply of Coal, and keeping up the price of
that important article, is a most serious, oppressive, and unjust
burden upon the whole community, and more especially upon the
Coffee and Eating-house-keepers.
Resolved—That a petition be presented from the Coffee and
Eating-house-keepers, as a body, to the House of Commons, and
that the same be signed by the Chairman and Secretary on behalf
of the Meeting ; and that other Petitions be prepared to be signed
by the public at large, and to be left at the various houses of the
trade for signature.
Resolved—That a Parliamentary Agent be appointed to pre-
pare and conduct the case of the Coffee and Eating-house-keepers,
and to take charge of the several petitions which may be signed at
their houses.

Resolved—That W. S. Northouse, Esq., be appointed the Par-
liamentary Agent to conduct the case, and communicate with the
Members of Parliament.

Resolved—That the thanks of the Coffee-house and Eating-
house-keepers be given to the Editor of " The Sun," for having
for a long period exclusively, and until this moment perseveringly
and earnestly, supported the repeal of the Coal Monopoly.
Resolved—That these Resolutions be advertised in the " Ad-
vertiser," " Sun," "Morning Chronicle," " Times," and" Weekly
Dispatch." _ .

JAMES BYWATER HUMPHREYS.

It was moved, seconded, and carried unanimously—That the
thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman, for his conduct
in the Chair. CHARLES MARSHALL.

MARYLEBONE.-(Till S DAY.

A young man named Daniel Bliss was placed at the bar
in
spectors
of Mr. Hoskins, charged by one of the police
of this district with having stolen a quantity of iron work be-
longing to the Company of the Great Western Railway.
In reply to the Bench the prisoner said he had picked up
the articles, which were thrown, apparently unheeded,
amongst the rubbish on the embankments, and had not the
least idea that they were ever intended for future use.
An Inspector of the Railroad constabulary proved they were
the property of the Company. Latterly depredations of this
kind were carried to a great extent, inasmuch as great facili-
ties were afforded to the thieves from those things being scat-
tered so loosely about on the works.
The prisoner, who said he was a coke-burner, was fined
10s., and in default of payment committed to the House of
Correction.

Another instance of the prevalence of the dreadful
malady of hydrophobia in the canine species occurred on Mon-
day mornlng at the house of Mr. Street, the sign of the Ele.
pliant and
Castle, King's-road, St. Pancras. Mr. Street,
jun., had beitit, just opened the house, when he was alarmed by
hearing a dreadful howling, and seeing a dog of large dimen-
sions rush from the streetinto the tap-room (the door of which
was open),
and commence in the most furious manner to fly
about the room, biting the legs of the tables, fender, or any
thing which came in its way. Mr. Street's cries for help from
the rest of the family, some of whom were up, attracted the
notice of the animal, who sprang furiously towards him, and
continued to pursue him into the kitchen, where Mr. Street
mounted the dresser, and renewed his cries for help. It was
not, however, until Mr. Street, sen., and another of his sons,
made their appearance with pitchforks, that the dog was
induced to retire from the house, which it did in the same
furious mariner in which it entered, yelling most hideously.
It took its course up the King's-road towards Kentish Town.
Thus, we regret to add, being probably still at large, to the
imminent danger of the lives of the public.

THE MARKETS.-7(T-HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
There have been this morning very few fresh arrivals of any
kind of Grain, and a small quantity of Flour. There has
been another considerable country demand for Wheat to-day,
and Foreign parcels that are in good condition have obtained
2s. per quarter advance on Monday's terms; the sale of
English has been small, and has rather extended former terms.
Barley, Beans, and Pease are as last reported. The Oat
trade is dull, at hardly so good prices as last day. The sale
of Flour continues fully equal to the supply, and prices are
well maintained. . _

SURREY SESSIONS-TUESDAY.

KINO!TON, Ocr. 16.—Yesterday the General Quarter Ses-
sions for the county commenced at the Sessions House, King-
ston. B. Burnard, Esq., in the chair. Among the Magis-
trates present were Colonel Chaloner, the High Sheriff; Sir
R. Frederick, Sir H. Fletcher, the Honourable Charles Per-
ceval, M. P. ; C. Barclay, Esq ; R. Hedger, Esq. ; the
Rev. G. W. Onslow ; W. Goss, Esq. &e. &c. The calendar
contains the names of fifteen prisoners for trial for felony,
none of which, however, possess any public interest.
Mr. Smallpiece, the Treasurer of the County, submitted
his accounts, from which it appeared that the balance in hand
last year to Midsummer was 3,4171. Os. 10d. ; and that the
balance in hand, fur the current quarter, amounted to
5,928/. 19s. sd.
A report was read from the Visiting Magistrates of the
county gaol, recommending the Court to make application to
the Secretary of State to grant a free pardon to a woman
named Allington, convicted some time ago, and sentenced to
be transported. The above recommendation was on the
ground of the severe bodily illness of the unfortunate convict.
The report was agreed to.
Cook, a constable of Kingston, said that he had an appli-
cation to make to the Court. Some time since he expended
3/. 3s. Bd. in apprehending a man who murdered another,
returning from Epsom races. The Coroner, Mr. Carttar, who
was in attendance, granted applicant a certificate for his
expenses; but upon applying for the amount to Mr. Clarke,
the Clerk of the Arraigns at the Central Criminal Court,
that gentleman refused to pay him, on the ground that the
certificate did not bear the signature of a Magistrate. He
(Cook) explained that the reason of its having been signed
by the Coroner was, that the accused never went before a
Magistrate at all, but was committed on the finding of
the Coroner's Jury. Being unable to procure his money,
he applied to Mr. Carttar, who told him he could not pay
it, as he would not be allowed to charge it in his quarterly
expenses.
Mr. Lawson, the Clerk of the Peace, said that no such
expenses as those mentioned were included in the schedule
of allowances and disbursements to Coroners, annexed to the
recent Act of Parliament.
Mr. Carttar expressed his willingness to pay Cook, if the
Court would authorise him to do so.
Several Magistrates gave it as their opinion that they had
not the power to interfere, as the constable had acted without
having any warrant to apprehend the alleged murderer.
Mr. Barclay said that the difficulty should be speedily re-
medied, if possible ; for if it was once to go forth to the county
that no expenses would be allowed under such circumstances,
in a very short time no constable would act.
It having been stated to be the opinion of several of the
Alagistrates that the Court had the power to alter and vary the
schedule, and to order all reasonable expenses to be paid con-
nected with the holding of any inquest upon a body, it
tw as ul-
timately resolved, upon the motion of Mr. Hedger,_ o refer
.
the schedule to the Committee who settled the allowances, in
order, if possible, that they might enlarge it.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

John Wathins, 12, University-street, and John Sheys, 14,
University4treet, medical students, were brought up on a
charge of being drunk, and causing disturbance in Covent-
Garden Theatre.

Constable Wheatland, of the A division, stated, that at half-
past ten o'clock, last night, while on duty in the theatre, he
was called into the saloon to remove the defendants, who; were
in a state of intoxication, and acting in a very disorderly man-
ner. Oa remonstrating with them they appeared willing to
conduct themselves with more decorum ; but he had scarcely
turned his back, when they again became so noisy as to dis-
turb the entire audience, and on his attempting to remove them
they assaulted him.

kr. Bolster, the box•keeper, confirmed the above state-
ment, and added, that the defendants, in staggering about,
broke fifteen shillings' worth of glass, which they paid for.
The defendants pleaded drunkenness, and they were ordered
to pay the drunkard's fine, and a penalty of 10s. each for the
assault upon the policeman.
A young lad, named Daniel Cheshim, was brought up by
Wm. Skinner, an Officer of Stamps, charged with hawking
this morning, in the streets adjacent to the Strand, earthenware,
glass, and china, without a license.
The defendant said he had been four years in the trade,
and had never before been charged with the offence.
Sir FREDERICK ROE—The law is imperative upon the sub-
ject, and you must pay a fine of 101., or go to prison for three
months.
London, England, 1838-10-17

sovereigns and a half sovereign, and eighteen shillings in silver,
thirty-two five-franc pieces, two silver watches, several trin-
keis, and a variety of other articles, amongst which were a
pair of pincers and a file. The prisoner, on being charged
with the robbery, said he knew nothing either of the Ram Inn
or Smithfield, and that he had only been in this country a
few days.
Mr. Brough, in answer to questions by the Magistrate, said
there were other lodgers in the house, and that every room
was full.

William Eady, waiter at the inn, identified the prisoner as
the person who had been in the house, and stated that he slept
in the next room but one to Mr. Stevens. On Monday he
was up stairs from half-past nine o'clock until one, and said
that morning he was going to stop three or four days longer ;
but on coming down stairs at one o'clock, he ordered a cab
and drove off. He had been seen in different rooms by the
chambermaid.

Tile prisoner wished to hare some person who understood
French to interpret for him.
The waiter remarked that he could speak very good Eng-
lish sometimes.

The prisoner was then remanded.
Eliza TVright was charged with felony by Maria Seymour,
of 6, Jane-place, Cornwall-road. The prisoner, it appeared,
had been in the service of the complainant about nine weeks,
and last night, in the absence of her mistress, she left the
l►oue, having first decked herself in a silk cloak and bonnet,
which were not her own property. She was apprehended on
Blackfriars Bridge. The lady of the house, it turned out,
had on certain occasions lent the prisoner her bonnet, and as
she had now got possession of her things again, the case was
not pressed, and the prisoner was discharged.

BILLINGSGATE MARKET.

Fish today were in very good supply, and the weather was in favour
of a brisk trade. Prices rattier lower than yesterday. TUrbot, 4s. to
205.; Cod, Is. 6d. and 25., to SE., 95., and up to 12s. and 13s. for very

TALLOW AND OIL MARKET.

P.Y.C. to-day is held fur Os., but at present something lower than
this is the price obtained. There is every appearance of its being higher
still. Fish OHS do not advance, but the market is firmer. It is reported
that there is a very large cargo of Fish Oil on its way from Australia;
larger than any which has yet come from that quarter.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
The public sales to-day were neither numerous nor heavy, consist.
ing chiefly of small parcels of Bengal and Barbadoes Sugar, Coffee, and
Saltpetre. Two rather large sales of Molasses, and India Rice.
No particular feeling to purchase existed in the market, and up to the
time we left nothing novel had occurred. The sates for the most part
were rather devoid of animation, but in prices we quote no variation of
moment. B. P. Sugar was quoted at from 60s. to 625. 6d. ; for Brown,
ass. to GGs. 6d. for fine; low yellow to good, 635. 6d. to 655. ; Bengal
white, 665. 6d. to 68s. ; brown and yellow, 50a. to 645, 6d. No sales of
Mauritius. Refined Sugar is nominal, and the quotation 38s, 6d.
for fine crushed. Coln° —The sales to-day were only a few
bags of Berbice and Ceylon-39 of the former and 48 of the latter; too
small to form any criterion far the market. Tea.—The public sales are
about over ; of the little quantity that has sold, as our reports from day
to day have shown, prices must be quoted at 2d. and 3d. per pound on
the average lower than the market prices previous to the sale. The
quotation of Molasses, 345. to 365., according to quality. Rice is in
speculative demand and prices looking up, and are now 12s. to 15s. 6d.
No alteration when we left the market in Saltpetre. Pepper is in-
quired after, and so is Pimento; and prices have an improved inclina-
tion. The exports and imports are light just now.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Jax. 8.
Cotton was in pretty fair request this morning, and though no reac-
tion has taken place in prices, the trade may be considered as consider-
ably steadier than it has been for some time past ; 3,000 bags are the
quantity for which our last quotations were readily realized.

SPORTING INTLI,LIOtNCE

TA TTER SA LP S-V RSTERDA V.

The attendance in the afternoon was pretty full, but business WAS
dt1;1, and afforded little room for observation. The Cobweb colt
was talked about, but not backed, nor, although nominally a point
better than on Thursday, did he appear to have increased in favour.
Grey Momus, Nonplus, and lon, were on the rise, the betting
against the 25 to 1 horses of last week, viz., Dormouse and Tranby,
having an opposite tendency. For the Oaks, Calisto is decidedly
the first favourite, one gentleman having taken 900 to 100 about
her, and offered to go on. Closing prices :

BRILLIANT RUN WITH LORD SUFFIELD'S STAG HouNDS.—
On Thursda) se'nnight his Lordship's hounds had their meetir,
at Northrepps Hill Farm, where the deer (a present from Lord
Chesterfield) ) was unearted at twelve o'clock. After skirting the
village near the church, he proceeded- across Roughton Heath to
Melton ; from hence he headed back, leaving the park of W. H.
Windham, Esq., on the right, he made his way straight across
Felbrigg Heath to Runeton, thence to Beeston, and gained the
sea shore at Lower Sherringliam, where he continued his career
without interruption to Salthouse ; he again took the uplands to
belling, and was at last taken at Cley next the sea, but shortly
afterwards (lied. His run could not have been less than 17
or 18 miles as the crow flies ; the computed distance of the run was
23 miles, performed in one hour and 45 minutes, and was almost
unparalleled for the severity of its pace. What more particularly
added to its enjoyment was the rough country and unique scenery
over w,hich the chase pursued its course. " Ever and anon" might
be seen Old Ocean, with its huge billows almost laving the fleet
coursers' feet, while the "wave-tossed mariners" scudded so near
tlie shore they could plainly hear the baying hounds and hunters'
joyous shout.
" Never was heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder."
There was a brilliant field of sportsmen, including Lords Suffield and
Mahon, Hon. Mr. Wodehouse, Messrs. Micklethwaite and Upcher,
and about 60 others ; but, alas ! few were up to tell the finish.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court Ras held by the Lord Mayor and Al-
dermen, to receive the presentments of the Wardmote In-
quests. Nothing of any public importance transpired.
A Mr. Finney, of Cordwainers' Ward, having been elected
to serve on the inquests, objected, on "religious and moral
grounds," to take the necessary oaths. It, however, turned
out, on his being interrogated, that he had always taken the
oaths necessary to qualify him fur an elector; and on being
informed that the City Solicitor would be instructed to indict
him for his refusal the gentleman forcibly demonstrated the
pliancy of his conscience by observing "he supposed he must
swallow the oath."
The Inquest of Cripplegate Ward returned the names of
several poor traders for not having taken up their freedons ;
and this gave rise to some remarks upon the hardship of per-
sons in so small a way of business being compelled to pay as
large a sum as the first trader in the City.
The Lord Mayor promised the subject should come under
the consideration of the Court.
Mr. Roe and Mr. Young, candidates at the late election of
Common Councilmen for the Tower Ward, having an equal
number of votes, the Alderman made no return. Mr. Roe
presented a petition on the subject, which was ordered to be
taken into consideration at the next Court, after which the
Court broke up.

IN BRIGHTON,

ST. PETER'S-PLACE—A CAPITAL FAMILY RESI-
DENCE, FREEHOLD of INHERITANCE, and in order
for Instant Occupation.
R. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL
by AUCTION at
THE GLOCESTER HOTEL AND TAVERN,
on the Parade, Brighton, on TUESDAY, the 22d January, at One
for Two o'Clock, punctually.
A FREEHOLD RESIDENCE of considerable pretensions—
as well in respect to family comfort as in its outward form. It is
situate in that portion of the town that is considered
VERY RECHERCHE.—ST. PETER'S MANSION,
IN ST. PETER'S-PLACE,
is very close to the
SPLENDID NEW CHURCH.
It has two fronts, commanding distant and varied views. The one
comprehends a lively view of the
INTERMINABLE BUSTLE OF THE LONDON ROAD,
with retiring rooms adapted to those who would repose in absolute
quiet. An establishment for Pupils or a Clergyman could not be
domesticated better. The Garden precludes any annoyance from
the dust, and the view towards
THE PALACE AND PAVILION GROUNDS
is not to be exceeded by any contemporary in Brighton. The ac-
commodation within is most perfect, and precisely such as would be
consistent with the inclination of those who think
TOO MANY SPARE BEDS

might be classed amongst the annoyances of human life—comfort,
in its extended interpretation, presides throughout. The Proprietor
(it may be remarked) erected this little mansion for his own occu-
pation—expense was scarcely a secondary consideration, a point
which distinguishes it from the greater portion of Brighton Pro-
perty. The fitting up of the rooms is in good taste throughout,
and in good keeping with the exterior. Its approximation to the
Gloucester Hotel (where so much of the best company congregate)
affords a pleasant auxiliary and lounge, if, par accident, ennui
should occasionally intrude its unwelcome appearance.
The Estate is Freehold of Inheritance; it is fitted up with Fix-
tures ; and in case early possession is required, fourteen days would
be abundant time to accomplish it.
ANY PORTION OF THE PURCHASE MONEY
MAY REMAIN FOR SEVEN YEARS ON MORTGAGE.
Particulars will be ready immediately, and then had at the Glou-
cester and the Old Ship Hotels ' • Mr. Wright's Library ; of Mr.
Edwards ( Agent for Houses), London-road, all of Brighton ; and
at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London.
