THE FUNDS.

There is a great sensation this morning in the Stock
Exchange, it being generally reported yesterday and last
night that another great failure would take place this
morning; and this being settling day for Consols, the
house was fully attended at an early hour. Consols
opened at about the price they left off at yesterday, 831
for the the account, but on a sudden they got up to 84, caused
by the above report being in part correct. The gentleman
in question is a first-rate broker, and left by one of hit
principals to pay a difference of thirty thousand pounds.
Up to the present time he has not been declared a defaul
ter, as we understand he has met his creditors in a very
handsome manner, paying them immediately Iss. in the
pound, and the remainder in a fortnight. His difference
must be to a very large amount.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing at present. To
this time we have no continental news of importance to
communicate.

We have received the Temps of Tuesday from Paris,
the 24th of May, from which we copy the following pri-
vate correspondence from Brussels of 21st of May :
"The communication which the Minister made yester-
day to the Congress in a Secret Committee was of a deli-
cate nature. M. Lebeau first commenced by making
them swear to secrecy, but several members would not
comply with this request, accordingly I have procured
some information. 'Our hopes are not solid or great.'
said Devaux, the Minister who arrived from London, 4I
have seen Talleyrand twice, and we conversed on all other
things except our affairs. I could draw nothing from
him. I could not find any thing positive in the Constitu-
tion in regard to the left side of the Scheldt. The Prus-
sians are obstinate in keeping Maestricht, and if we go to
war we shall be invaded by three Powers at once.'
" Extract of the speech of Lebeau:—` Saxe Cobourg is
an accomplished man, said one of our Commissioners at
London but we have no need of him for war—he wishes
to bring in peace—he thinks that a slight mo- •
difieation is required in our constitution, and hel
promises his influence to reduce the question of Luxem-
burg to a simple question of money, being pressed to answer
if he will accept, he said he could not accept what was not
offered him; as yet he wished to be the man of the Bel-
gian nation, but he required a great majority in the Con-
gress, and the adhesion of the five Powers."

Consols are at present 84 I for money, and S3h for
next time. We do not hear of any further failures. The

At the nuptials of the Hon. ROBERT GROS-.
vEriort, who was lately married to the Hon. Miss WEL.
LESLEY, the guests partook of a wedding cake made at
Chester, which weighed no less than three cwt. and a half.
The letters by the Dutch steam-boat are of
the 10th from St. Petersburg!' ; the ice has disappeared,
and the navigation is completely open. 150 sail of mer-
chant vessels had arrived at St. Petersburgh. The cholera
morbus has appeared at Stettin and Breslau.
Some strange reports are in circulation re-
specting the sudden departure from town of a Noble
Duke, for the north. His Grace travelled strictly incog.,
and was accompanied by a distinguished officer. The
party at N- House was postponed in consequence.
Notwithstanding the severe frost of a fort-
night since, green peas are already become abundant.
