THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.
A Mexican mail has arrived this morning : sailed on
the sth of July from Vera Cruz. The Papers are void of
interest. It appears that the Republic enjoyed tranquillity.
CESTOMS AT VERA Canz.--Ituports, 491,344 dol-
lars ; paid, 306,406 dollars. Surplus in the month of
June, 162,938 dollars. Exports in the month of June,
at Vera Cruz—ln coin, 125,171 dollars ; in bars, 37,385
dollars.
Private letters from Vienna state that very great dis-
tress prevails in that capital, owing to the cholera morbus
approaching. The town has been divided into several dis-
tricts by the police. It is e deullted that 16,000 weavers are
out of employ; the Government have employed a great
number of them to work at the fortifications, particularly
at Lintz, which is going to be formed into an immense
encampment; there is also a great scarcity of money.
Austria is also making preparations to form a camp of
several thousand men in the environs of Podgoize, as well
as to construct a bridge over the Vistula, near Cracow.
From Warsaw it is stated, that the patriots have
succeeded in burning the ammunition magazines at Thorn.
General Roubouta has received orders to proceed imme-
diately to St. Petersburgh. At Koningsberg an immense
bakehouse has been constructed for the Russian army, and.
a considerable number of Russian transports have arms in
that port, and when laden will proceed up the Vistula.
TILE FUNDS.
The only arrivals this morning are the Mexican packet
and the express from Paris. Neither of them has pro-
duced much information. The report of the death of the
Emperor of Russia as yet requires confirmation ; still well.
informed persons are inclined to believe that all is not right
with the Emperor.
Our Funds continue very steady this morning, with
scarce any bargains doing. Consols, which left off yester-
day morning at 81i for the account, opened at the
same price, since which they have reached 81 82. At
present they are 81i.
The chief business doing is making up accounts
against next Friday, settling day in Consols. Nothing
doing in the Foreign Funds.

Up to the present hour we have no political news to
communicate. A Dutch steamer is expected in the after-
noon; she will not, however, bring any later intelligence from
Poland than previously received by the Hamburg steamer
of yesterday. The death of the Emperor of Russia is now
regarded to be void of truth, as we should have received the
information by the Hamburg steamer had it taken place.
Consols have been during the morning alternately
buyers and sellers, with little doing. The Foreign Marke`
is in a state of stagnation.
Consols, 814

THREE O'CLOCK.

RICHARD LEWIS was executed at Cardiff on
Saturday last, for stabbing DONALD BLACK, of the 931
Regiment of Highlanders, at a riot at Merthyr. After the
execution, LEWIS LEWIS, the brother of the unfortunate
man, under confinement for having been concerned in the
same affair, declared solemnly that his brother ilicriano
was innocent, for he knew that be was not there, and bad
he, LEWIS, been sharing the same fate, he would have dis•
closed it on the scaffold. This assertion painfully corrobo-
mates the declaration of IM enAnn on the day before the
execution, when urged to make a full confession, as all
hopes were gone, and replied, " The way to obtain mercy
is to speak the truth, and, in asserting my innocence, Ida
speak the truth." He, however, admitted that be had
been engaged in the riotous proceedings at Merthyr.
EXECUTION.—EDWARD HOGsDEN, the
man convicted for a crime of an extraordinary and atro-
cious character at the last Surrey Assizes, was executed
yesterday morning at the top of Horsemonger-lane gaol.
The convict was fifty years of age, and be appeared to be
the most ignorant man that could be conceived : he con-
fessed the crime for which he was found guilty. Since his
conviction he has paid the greatest attention to the reli-
gt,lrius consolation afforded him by the Chaplain of the
gaol, but seemed all along to consider that the prosecution
bad been instituted against him only on account of spite
entertained ar;ainst him by his family. As the timed
is
of
execution became near the convict appeared to lose all
De-
fortitude, and on his way to the scaffold it was found De-
cessary to support him, to prevent his falling to the ground.
Immediately the drop fell the convict expired, with a very
alight struggle.
