THE: FUNDS

Consols were heavy yesterday, in consequence of an anticipation that
our crops would fall short owing to the heavy rains ; some few sales of
Stock were made yesterday owing to the above prevailing opinion, but
not to a great extent, and the Consols closed at 93.1 for Money, and
for the Account 93.1 T.

THAMES HAVEN DOCKS.—The contract for con,
structing these docks having been made, upwards of one hundred met
have been within these few days past employed in commencing the ex.
cavation. Some portion of the ground id occupied with growing crops,
and as soon as they are cleared away a greater number t. f hands will be
set to work. From the vicinity of these docks to the sea, and the
rapid transit of goods by the railway, it is obvious, that as soon as th'
undertaking is fully carried into effect, the river Thames will present a
very different aspect, as vessels can then unload at all tides, and their
cargoes can be delivered into London a few hours after discharging.
An inquest was held last night, in Ebury-street,
Pimlico, on the body of a young woman, named Mary Edgeller, nurse in
the service of E. Rickett, Esq., of Chester square, who committed suf.
cide by throwing herself from a window, a height of about 50 feet. The
only motive that could be assigned for the act was that the deceased was
very unhappy at having to leave her service to attend her mother, who
is.clangeronsly ill. Verdict, " Temporary insanity."
An inquest was held last night, at Charing-cross
Hospital, on the body of a young woman named Morty, lale a servant in
Oxenden-street, whose death, as proved in evidence, was occasioned by
having swallowed some bug poison in mistake for whiskey. The poiscn
had been analyzed, and found to be a solution of corrosive sublimate in
whiskey. The bottle containing the stuff was labelled " Bug poison."
Verdict—" Accidental death."
STATE OF TRADE.—There was a very active de-
mand for yarn yesterday, and a considerable extent of business was done
at the full prices of the preceding week ; and sore of th:._ sp Inv! s
were demanding a slight advance, which, however, was not obtained .n
any considerable number of cases. In goods there was no material
change from the preceding Tuesday,—Manckester Guardian.
