THE FUNDS.

We have very few arrivals this morning, and the express
from Paris, being of a meagre description, has caused a stag
nation in the various foreign funds.
Consols, which closed at 881 to 881 for the Account, aro
at present 884 ; Money, 88 to 884 ; Exchequer Bills, 2 prem. ;
India Bonds, 4 prem.
In the Foreign Market, very little doing at present, owing
to the report of General Rodil having marched out of the
capital on the 17th, with all the troops of the garrison, in the
direction of Arragon and Valencia, to attack the Carlists.
The speculators in Spanish Stock are, therefore, afraid to act,

The arrival of the Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's
at Torquay has contributed materially to enliven that fashion-
able watering place. Torquay has been visited by many per-
sons of rank, and is well filled at this time. Lady Cope, Sir
Fleetwood Pellew, Lady Pellcw, Sir Robert Franks, Hon.
Mrs. La Touche, Colonel Jones, and Rev. - Thomson, are
amongst the arrivals since Saturday last.
Sir A. and Lady Elton, Sir F. and Lady Drake,
Lady Elizabeth Courtenay, Captain Norris, &c., have arrived
at the Bath Hotel, Clifton.

A grand ball was given on the 3d inst. in Algiers,
to celebrate the return of Marshal Clauscl. The natives at-
tended in larger numbers than usual. The dresses of the
Jewish ladies were generally of extraordinary magnificence.
The prosecutors of gaming houses have, it seems,
taken ground against higher game, but to end probably only
in a .higher amount of hush money. These prosecutions, in
short, have become such a farce, or rather trade, that the pub-
lic cease to look to them for any useful result.
King Leopold, during his sojourn at Claremont,
seemed exceedingly interested in having the gardens kept in
the best order, and in the cultivation of all sorts of fruit and
flowers which could add to its beauty. His table at the Palace
of Lacken is oft supplied from the fruits grown at Claremont.

Four young men of noble families have been ar-
rested in Hungary, and are to be tried for treason, accompa-
nied, in the event of their conviction, with the punishment of
death and confiscation of their property. The trial will pro-
bably last for years to come.
Bath, one would imagine, from the number of can-
didates announced or announcing themselves, had no present
representative. Mr. Ludlow Bruges was some time since an-
nounced on the Tory side ; we now hear of Captain Scobell,
R.N. ; and Sir W. Molesworth is also said to be spoken of by
the Liberals.

The Reformers are beginning to bestir themselves
in the country, which is absolutely necessary, to expose the
boast of the Tories that the friends to Aristocratical domina-
tion are increasing in number and strength. The leading
Tories get up dinners in many instances to make a show, and
pay for the tickets of their guests. The Reformers act from
principle, and public dinners are now announced where their
attendance will be voluntary, and not like that of a great
portion of their political opponents, produced by intimidation
end threats.

As a coachman was leading two horses in the Rue
de la Pail, in Paris, a washerwoman's cart, going at a rapid
rate struck one of the horses on the chest with the shaft, which
caused the immediate death of the animal. The horse in the
cart then backed, and overturned a hackney coach coming be-
hind with six persons in it, none of whom were hurt. The
man driving the cart was arrested.
WEYMOUTII.—On Monday last we were pleased
with the extraordinary performance of a sub-marine excursion
by Mr. Orchard, the celebrated diver. Mr. Orchard com-
menced this wonderful undertaking about one o'clock, at high
water, voyaging under water, from the New Pier Head to the
entire length of the harbour, and some distance into the back
water, then returning by the same route, he crossed a portion
of the bay and emerged from the water at the steps in front
of Luce's Hotel. The extent of distance which this perfor-
mance occupied, was considerably more than a mile, a length
unparralleled, as we are informed, by any individual in a simi-
lar way, keeping constantly under water.—Sherborne Journal.
A bacon merchant at Limerick, named William
Hill, had an information laid against him last week for alarm-
ing his neighbours by a new and more refined method which
he had lately introduced of killing his pigs, by shooting them
with pistol bullets instead of cutting their throats, the latter
practice being too shocking for the pig-killer's sensitive nerves.
Last week a person was taken into custody by the
Glasgow police for having fired a pistol at his son-in-law, a
surgeon, in Hutcheson-town. The contents of the pistol
stuck in the wall of the room nearly opposite the place in which
the surgeon was standing. When apprehended, another pistol
was tound in his pocket, ice led with sons The rather
and son-in-law, it is said, had a quarrel previously, over
immoderate potations.
