THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburgh
mails, with ship letters from Smyrna.
During the whole of yesterday afternoon the Stock Ex-
change was kept in excitement in consequence of the resigna-
tion of eighteen of the members of its Committee, who voted
in favour of a return of the amount of checks for stock deli-
vered, in the transactions which arose out of Lakeman's
affairs ; and a number of members of the House, who objected
to the resolution of the Committee held yesterday, addressed a
letter of thanks to those persons who refused to return the
amount. In the course of next week it is expected an election
will take place for the choice of eighteen new members. •
There being no arrivals of importance this morning, and the
express from Paris being void of intelligence from Spain, little
is doing in either of the markets.
Consols opened this morning at the prices they closed yes-
terday, 91i 92 for the Account, and 91i II for Money. Exche-
quer Bills 20 22 ; India Bonds 3 s'; Bank Stock 2181 219 ;
India ditto 257 258.

feree 231 ; Passive 151; Portuguese 83,i ; Three per Cents.,

for the Account, and 911 for Money ; Exchequer Bills, 22 ;
India Bonds, 3 5; Bank Stock, 2184 219; India Stock,
257 258. Money plentiful.
Since the early part of the morning the Foreign Market ha
improved, particularly Spanish Stock. Active Bonds had
reached to 461 I —at present 46i 1. It being settling day on
Monday for the Foreign Securities, it is expected it will .be a
Bear Account. This is the cause for the rise on Spanish
Active Bonds, and not to any news having been received from
the Peninsula to the present time. Spanish Passive, 151;

CARLOW ELECTION in reply to
.—Mr. Wallace,
a question put by Mr. Grattan, last night, said he was deter-
mined to persevere in bringing before the House his motion, for
inquiry into the extraordinary conflicting statements as to the
late elections for the county of Carlow.
Sir GeorgeW long arrender, Bart., after a absence,
has returned to Albemarle-street, front his seat, Lockend,
N.B. Shortly after the commencement of the Opera season,
Sir George will give a series of musical soirees.
Among the cases which will excite a more than or-
dinary interest at the Hants Assize, is that of Mrs. Bromley,
charged with having stolen various articles of property be-
longing to the Dowager Marchioness of Northampton, in
whose service she was. Among the witnesses are the Duke
of Richmond, the Marquis of Northampton, Mr. and Lady
Elizabeth Dickens, and Mrs. Admiral Douglas.
A few days ago, at the farm of l3leachfield, near
Irvine, a cow belonging to Mr. H. Grub, gave birth to three
calves, all of which, with the mother, are living and thriving.

EARLY NIDIFICATIONS.—On Tuesday, the 16th
inst., a sparrow's nest was found under the tiles of the house
of Mr. W. Watson, bricklayer, of Nafferton, which contained
five eggs, two of which were broken, and proved to contain
live birds.— York• Courant.

TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.—We are happy to learn
that a public meeting of the trades are to be held to-morrow
evening in the Buck's Head Hall, to petition Parliament for
the Total Abolition of the Taxes on Knowledge. The per-
severing zeal with which our operatives have long exerted
themselves to procure the removal of the infamous restric-
tions on the diffusion of political information is highly cre-
ditable to the trades of Greenock. The petition against the
taxes on knowledge, lately adopted at a public meeting of the
inhabitants of this town, was last night sent off to Mr. Wallace,
M. P., for presentation, subscribed by nearly 2,200 persons,
being about 500 more than the number of names appended to
the petition of last year. We understand that the petition of
the joiners and house carpenters of Greenock, for the abolition
of the taxes on knowledge, was sent off to Parliament on
Saturday night last, subscribed by about 300 individuals. The
inhabitants of Gourock are, we heat, about to petition the Le-
gislature for the repeal of the newspaper tux. What are those
of Helensburgh, Dunoon, and Largs about? There are
plenty of staunch Reformers in each of these places to get up
respectably signed petitions for the abolition of fiscal obstruc-
tions to the dissemination of useful knowledge among the peo-
ple.—Greenock Intelligencer.
THE DIRECT LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL-
WAY.—The direct London and Brighton Railway, as pro-
jected by Sir John Rennie, passed the standing orders of the
House of Commons on Thursday last, notwithstanding the
unprecedented opposition that was brought against it by the
advocates of Messrs. Stephenson's line, and the Bill was last
night read a first time in the House of Commons.
CHAUBERT, THE FIRE-KING.---ThiS individual,
who a few years since excited some curiosity in London in con-
sequence of his daring experiments in chemistry, and who has
frequently been reported dead, was two months since living in
a state of pptilppEe itt the Preadwav, York, where he
keepi a large chemist's store; under 1.h9 depoinynietion of the
,‘ Fire- King's Store." He drives four horses in his carriage,
and was upon the point of marriage with a very rich widow.
It is believed Oat he has a wife and family in England,
