THE FUNDS.

The chief intelligence we have—tiiis morning is from the
United States, by the Roscius, and from the Brazils by the
mail. By the former the accounts are favourable from Canada,
as we do not hear of any more resistance from the rebels ; the
last defeat has given them the death-blow, and everything was
in a quiet state when the intelligence left. The particulars
in the American Papers, will be found in other columns.
The accounts from the Brazils do not bring any confirma-
tion of the reported disturbances at Bahia, or a declaration of
war by the French Admiral to Buenos Ayres, as was reported.

Accounts from Monte Video to the 9th Sept. state the de-
termination of the belligerents in the civil war, which r'',:-Solates
the Oriental territory, to continue operationL. Fighting or
skirmishing was carried on close to Monte Video. On the 3d
ult. the parties had a severe (air, in which several lives were
lost on both sides, The anarchists, as they are now called,
removal all the apparatus of the light-house at Cerro de Monte
Video, causing that establishment to be discontinued.
The private letters from Holland state that great fear is en-
tertained there that France is not sincere in the affair of Bel-
gium, and have no doubt that the other four powers will remain
firm in their decision. To-morrow evening or Wednesday
morning we have have no doubt we shall have the King of
France's Speech, which will " let the cat out of the bag."
The only feature worth notice during the morning in the
British is the purchase of about four thousand reduced by the
Government Broker at 921. In other respects the market has
continued during the morning without any spirit, owing, no
doubt, to the approaching reception of the King of France's
Speech. Consols may be quoted at present 931 for the Ae-
c •unt ; Reduced 921 ; Exchequer Bills 66 63 65 prem. ; In-
dia Bonds 63 ; Bank Stock 2021.

With regret we record the total demolition of the
chancel of St. Leonard's Church, Hastings. This acci-
dent occurred at about half-past ten on Tuesday morning,
in consequence of the sudden falling in of a quantity of
earth in the rear of the building, bearing down by its
weight, the roof of the chancel, throwing down the walls,
and burying the
.whole in one mass of ruin. The body
of the church, which is of solid masonry, escaped without
sustaining any serious injury. No loss of life or other acci-
dent occurred.

EXTRAORDINARY BATTUE I-At the hospitable
board of Sir Francis Holyoake Goodricke, Bart., a few
gentlemen assembled last week, and Thursday and Friday
last were devoted to the sports of the field. There were
only six or seven guns in action, and the result was as fol-
lows :—Thursday—Pheasants, 160 ; hares, 149 ; rabbits,
90 ; woodcocks, 4 ; partridges, 3.—Friday—Pheasants,
168 ; hares, 182 ; rabbits, 66 ; woodcocks, 1 ; partridges, 9.

The other day a blast was fired at a cutting on the
line of railway near Tapton Hill, when a piece of stone was
hurled into the air for a considerable distance, and fell upon
the roof of a house, whence it descended into 4 bed-room
where some people were reposing. Fortunately the ex-
tent of theinjury rested here,—North Derkyshirc Chro-
