THE FUNDS.

Our Funds continue steady at the leaving off prices of
yesterday, 844 for the Account, with little or nothing
doing; and the Bulls and Bears are watching each others'
operations.
The French Funds by the estafette are said to come
higher, 68f. 60c. We have no political news of the leas'
consequence as yet.

RALF-PAST ONE.

An express has arrived within this hour from Paris,
bringing the important information that the grand ques-
tion of the Peerage has been carried by the Ministers, by a
majority of thirty-three.
A letter has been posted at Lloyd's with the following :
" ANTWERP, DEC. 27.—News has this moment been
received from Luxemburg, that the Belgian soldiers and
the Civic Gu ird have been beaten, and lost some men."
We add some information, which we think alludes to the
above :

BRUSSELS, DEC. 24.—Last Sunday a large Orange
flag was placed on the steeple of the church St. Rene, at
Luxemburg, by the partizans of the King of Holland,
which was supposed to be a signal of a movement in fa-
vour of the House of Orange.
LUXEMBURG, DEC. 21.—A corp of armed partizans
for the cause of the King of Holland, entered the
village of Hollierst on the 17th instant. They were
composed of volunteers, and were joined by the ancient
employes. They proceeded to several communes. At Al-
zette this corps took possession of arms and other equip-
ments belonging to the Civic Guard ; and at Heaherange
some Belgian gens d'armes met this corps, when qui
vice" was cried out by the partisans, to cause them to re-
tire, which they did with precipitation, after leaving their
caps behind them.
Consols were, during most part of the morning, at 84,
but on the news of the Belgians being defeated at Luxem-
burg Consols receded to 84 ; at present they are 84 to•
Not a feature in the Foreign Market worth noticing.

Madame MALIBRAN GARCIA, having been
advised that her marriage, contracted in America is void,
has given her hand to the celebrated violinist DE BERRIOT.
THE REV. MR. GRIFFITIL—The Gazette
of Tuesday night states that his MAJESTY has thought
proper to offer a reward of 1701. for the apprehension of
any person or persons concerned in the murder (which
there is every reason to believe has taken place) of this un •
fortunate gentleman, whose disappearance we related a
day or two ago.
The meeting of the National Assembly of
Greece, which was expected its November, has been de-
layed. The most shameful and even cruel expedients had
been resorted to by Caro o'lsTasa's Government to force
the election of his dependents. His brother and the rump
of hi. Administration seem to adopt his despotic maxims,
without having his sagacity or energy to carry them
into execution. In the meanwhile the blockade of Hydra
is abandoned by the Russians, who ought never to have
established it ; but the people of that island have not been
reconciled to the Government of Greece, nor is it probable
they will be, leo long as the maxims of CAPO D'ISTRIA
and the influence of Russia continue to prevail in the
Councils. Some snore liberal system, under the pro-
tection of England and France, ought speedily to be
adopted, and a Prince, who is not familiarised with the
practice of Autocrats and despots, chosen to preside over
that recently rescued people. At present they seem to be
divided into factions who cordially hate each other.
The gaols and workhouses of the metropolis
are unfortunately full to overflowing: there are upwards
of 1,300 prisoners in Coldbath-fieids bridewell alone.
ACCIDENT IN THE FOG.—As the Bath and
Bristol coach was passing up Piccadilly on Sunday evening
last, during the intense fog which pervaded the metropolis
on that day, an unfortunate accident took place ; the coach
came suddenly in contact with a cabriolet and overturned
it. The shock was so great, that the driver of the cab
was thrown to a considerable distance ; one of the poor
fellow's legs was fractured, and his head very touch injured.
Prompt aid was rendered to him, and he was taken to the
hospital.
On Friday evening last, abOut six o'clock, a
party of resurrectionists rushed soddenly into a house in
Bow-lane, where the corpse of an aged female, named
CAaxot,, was being " waked" by her friends and neigh-
bours, in an upper appartment, and succeeded in possessing
themselves of the body, which they bore off, before the
persons present could offer any effectual resistance. The
ruffians acted with the most revolting indecency, dragging
the corpse in its death clothes after them through the mud
in the street, and unfortunately baffiral all pursuit. Infor-
mation was shortly alter given at College-street police-
°lice of the transaction, and a peace-officer, with some con-
stables, immediately visited the College of Surgeons. They
were informed that the body had not been brought there,
but were not permitted to search. Several of the fellows
' engaged in this outrage are well-known resurrectionists,
but though the police are acquainted with their haunts,
strange to say that none of them have been apprehended
yet !—Dublin Freeman's Journal.
