TILE FUNDS.

To the present hour we do not hear of any fresh cases
from Sunderland on the 13th, which is a good omen. A
gentleman who left Sunderland on Sunday positively states
that it was nothing but the English choler', and that the
first report originated through the ignorance of a doctor
ti ere.

M yet we have nothing that can he relied upon in re-
gard to Earl Grey retiring from the Administration. As
is generally tie (nee in the absence of news, we have all
manner of reports.

Consols opened this morning at the same price they left
off yesterday, 82-'6l 4-, for the Account; at present they are
824 with little doing.
It is reported that Lord Goderich and Lord Palmerston
do not aeree with the views of Earl Grey, and it is sup-
posed they will go out of the Administration before the
meeting of Parliament.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Since our foregoing article had been written, we have
made particular inquiry in regard to the reported r'iffer-
enc.•s in the Alinistry, and the tumour of Earl Grey's retir-
ing from the Administration, which was so currently reportt d
yesterday afternoon on 'Change, and we now learn from a
high quarter that it is totally destitute of the least founda-
tion. Indeed, we understand to the contrary, that the Mini-
sters are at present on the most friendly terms.
Consuls remained steady during the morning, with little
fluctuation, and at present they are 82i sellers, and S2ii
for the January account.

The French and Dutch mails are still due, consequently
we are without foreign information.
The Foreign Market is not worth noticing.

Consols, 828.

KING'S COLLEGE.—We understand that
this institution is proceeding with great success. The
attendance of the students in general, amongst whom are
numbers intended for the medical profession, on the ser-
vice of the chapel, and at the lectures of the Principal on
Theolo,ty, is regular and exemplary. We are informed
that the Council have it in contemplation to take measures
for the completion of the river front of Somerset-house
with as little delay as possible.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE GREEN-PARK.-
On Friday Lord DUNCANNON, accompanied by Mr.
BuwroN, the architect, personally inspected the intended
improvements that are immediately to take place at the
entrance into the Green Park. The present entrance is
to be closed, and the new entrance for the future is to be
under the splendid arch that was erected a few years ago.
It will encroach on Buckingham-garden about two hun-
dred yards, but the new Palace and Royal Gardens will
be shown to better advantage. The new lodge from
James-street into St. James's Park will be completed in
the course of a few weeks.

GRETNA, GREEN MA RRlAGE.—Married, a
few days ago, by the Rev. Mr. GERAGHTY, at Bally-
eurvan Castle, the seat of Captain LYNCH, of Mayo, Mr.
P. LYNCH, jun., of Clogher, eldest son of P. LYNCH,
Esq., to ALICIA, eldest daughter of Captain LYNCH. Im-
mediately after the happy pair proceeded to Gretna-Green,
where the ceremony was repeated.—Freeman's Journal.
[This is really an Irish mode of eloping to Gretna-Green :
first get regularly married, then run to Gretna to " make
assurance doubly sure."]
STATE OF TRADE IN BOLTON.—The
hand-loom weavers are now fully employed, and the whole
of the cotton mills are again running full time. Lenoes,
which have long been a great support to our fancy weavers,
are very flat, and it is feared they will go out of the market
altogether. The wages for weaving are unprecedently
low, yet the workmen bear their privation with the most
exemplary patience.—Manchesfer Guardian.

A REAL STORY.—A few clays ago a weaver
residing in Pilkineton produced in his loom-shop, within
twelve hours, a mushroom which might have been an ex-
cellent substitute for a round tower in the island of La-
puts. It was four feet in circumference; the stem
upwards of ten inches in diameter ; the weight of the
entire mushroom one pound six o,:nces ; and it furnished a
luxurious repast to four perscns! ! !—Manchester Chron.
EARL FITZWLLLIAM AND THE HONEST
FARSIER.—A faNner called on Earl FITZWILLIAM to re-
present that his crop of aiieat had been seriously injured
in a field adjoining a certain wood, where his Lordship's
hounds bad, during the winter, frequently met to hunt.
He stated that the ynung wheat had been so cut up and
destroyed, that in some parts he could not hope for any
produce. " Well, my friend," said his Lordship, lam
aware that we have done considerable injury, and, if you
can procure an estimate of the loss you have sustained,
I will repay you." The farmer replied, that antici-
pating his Lordship's consideration and kindness, he
had requested a friend to assist him in estimating the
damage, and they thought that, as the crop seemed
quite destroyed, fifty pounds would not more than re-
pay him. The Earl immediately gave him the money.
As the harvest, however, approached, the wheat
grew, and in those parts of the field that were most
trampled, the corn was strongest and most luxuriant.
The farmer went again to his Lordship, and being
introduced, said, " I am come, my Lord, respect.
ing the field of wheat adjoining such a wood." His
Lordship instantly recollected the circumstance. " Well,
my friend, did I not allow you sufficient to remunerate
you for the loss ?" " Yes, my Lord ; I have found that
I have sustained no loss at all, for where the horses
had most cut up the land, the crop is most promising;
and I liave, therefore, brought the 50/. back again."
" Ah !" exclaimed the venerable Earl, " this is what I
like ; this is as it ought to be between man and man." He
then entered into conversation with the farmer, asking
some questions about his family, how many children he
had, &c. His Lordship then went into another room and
returned, presented the farmer with a cheque for 100/.
" Take care of this, and, when your eldest son is of age,
present it to him, and tell him the occasion that produced
it."— Chrietien Advocate.
