THE FUNDS.

Prince Leopold having declined the throne of BeNium
on the terms offered, and the report of the French funds
having come lower, has caused our funds to recede this
morning.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 831 for the ac•
count, opened at the same price, since which they have
gone down to 83k.
The arrivals to day are of a very scanty description,
and without interest.

In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The repot t of the French Funds having come lower in
the early part of the morning is not correct, they are
67f. loc. the Three per Cents. Consols, which were 63i
have got up to 83 ,k for the account. By the French Papers
will be seen the demand of the French Government on
Dun Miguel, which no doubt he must sooner or later com-
ply with.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.
THREE 0' CLOCK.
Consols, 83i 1,

An explanatory correspondence has taken
place between the Loan ADVOCATE and the Hon. DONALD
OuILVY, in consequence of some expressions made use of
by the former, charging Mr. OarLvv, by implication, with
being an Anti-Reformer. Mr. OGILVY has expressed his
perfect satisfaction with the explanation of the Loan An-
vocATE. The Loan ADVOCATE, in one of his letters,
justly remarks that the sensitiveness exhibited at the mere
supposition of being an Anti-Reformer, affords a strong
proof of approaching unanimity upon the great question.

A report was industriously propagated on
Thursday, in the Hall, that Mr. O'CoNNELL was made
Master of the Rolls. Need we say that there is no truth
whatever in the rumour?--Dublin Pilot.
