THE FUNDS.

Consols—Yesterday closed -82 i buyers.
After tile Meeting at the)
Alansion House - /82. buyers.

At a later hour

- 821 sellers.

The Meeting at the Mansion House yesterday
produced a favourable effect on the Funds, and
averted the decline which had been anticipated.
Consols maintain a better price than that of yester-
day. The general hope and proneness to believe
that which is desired, has excited a natural eager-
ness to propagate the opinion that " things are
coming round, " and all will soon be well, when
confidence shall be restored." .But can the mere
expression of opinion at a Public Meeting re-esta-
blish that confidence which has unquestionably
been shaken from the centre to the very extre-
mities of the commercial community. This is the
question' which every man of reflection will na-
turally ask—and it may be suspected that although
individuals shall 'expres themselves in public in
the affirmative, their private determination would
be found to negative the proposition. If it re-
quired but a public expression of confidence
by certain individuals, to restore permanent cre-
dit, the actual possession of a circulating meclium
would become a point of very subordinate consi-
deration. The truth, however, is, that by an ar-
tificial cheapness of money and of credit—the
whole commercial community has been driven
into an excess of circulation, and which excess
has at length destroyed itself by its own weight.
The gratidations this morning . were suddenly
damped by the whisper of a stoppage west of

Temple-bar—and which, although for soul: time
considered doubtful, is, we fear, but too weld.
founded. Other embarrassments were also
moured, but which for the present hays fillb#
sided. ‘ll.

Consols opened briskly at 82-} , from whirls
they fell, on th'e reportell failure of a Booking
House, to 822. Heavy money sales pressing
on the market, co-operated in the depress°

until nearly twelve o'clock, when the ruari
gradually began to recover, and at one, the VG'
tation was 821 buyers. Money, in this hoe'
hasgbeen easier, hut great sacrifices continue t°
be made for Bank Notes. Xn emergencies 05'
fleeted with Banking establishments, advanc's
have been made by the Bank of England urn

successful. An advance of 20,0001. Sterling'
on 60,000 Consols, was refused to an iodii;
