THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We are informed that the present quarter's revenue is in
a very prosperous state, and in addition to the other duties
that have already been paid, very considerable sums for
the duty on wines have been received. Amongst ether re-
ductions of pensions and offices in contemplation with the
Government, it is asserted that between 200 and 300
persons will have to retire from the Excise-office and in
•the Customs. Owing to the tax on coals being taken off
a considerable number of persons will also be reduced in
that department.
We understand that another long document is in prepa-
ration by the five Allied Powers, relating to the affairs of
Belgium, which will soon appear, and supposed to be the
final one.

Accounts from Brussels state that on the 16th an ac-
tion took place on the side of d'Ede, which was severely
untested. The Dutch troops consisted of 700 men, and
the Belgians 350. The Dutch were repulsed, leaving
a number of killed and wounded behind them.

Accounts from Turkey state that 20,000 of the regular
troops are getting ready to attack Negropont and the
Mores. The fleet is also to be ready by the end of the
month to proceed to Prevesa and Patras.

THE FUNDS.

The chaos of the different parties in Paris becomes
every moment more apparent, and it would be difficult
to reduce a mass of such heterogenous materials to
any thing like system. There are Carlists, Orlanists,
Republicans, Doctrinists, Jacobins, and Anarchists,
working one moment against each other, and going
the next hand-in hand, to bring about (in what
they have pretty well succeeded already), viz. a most ad-
mired state of confusion. So much is certain that, even
with the dissolution of the Chamber, which is only a tem-
porising measure, the present Administration cannot
stand. Lafitte has lost what little popularity he pos-
sessed by truckling to the future Chamber of Deputies.
His declaration, that he would implicitly submit to the de-
sire of the new Chamber, has disgusted the heads of all
parties. Under these circumstances every day will have
its event, until the Government will be at the mercy of
the different parties, as their ascendancy prevails in turn.
Tl,is is settling day in the Cunsol market, consequently
_ _

_
the lx okers and jobbers are chiefly employed in making
up their accounts, which is supposed at present to be a
Bear one. Up to the present time all is going off well, as
we do not hear of any defaulter.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 7811 for the ac•
count, opened at the same price, soon after went up to
78i, and at present are 7811.
In the Foreign Market little doing as yet.

We have little to add to our former article; we have
neither reports, nor any further political information.—
Consols are not so good as in the early part of the
morning, when they were done at 781 for the account ;
at present they are 781 All going off well in regard to the
settling of the account, which is nearly sett'ed, with the
exception of the putts and calls which take place about
four o'clock.
In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing. The
prices are much the same as yesterday.

NEWARK ELECTION.--Final close of the
poll, fourth day, Feb.2l, three o'clock :
liandley
Wilde
Wilkins

Among other interesting features which we
understand will be embraced in Major KEPPEL'S new
work, " Narrative of a Journey across the Baleen," are
the following:—A correct picture of the present state of
the Turkish Empire—an account of the late advance of
the Russians into the Ottoman dominions, state of both
armies, fic,..—The author's researches in Asia Minor, in-
c!uding the discovery of the sites of the two cities, namely,
Cadi and Azrni, so often alluded to by travellers and his•
torians.

It is not a little extraordinary that a Common
Law Judge should be proposing, as one method of legal Re-
form, the introduction of written depositions as evidence,
at the very same moment that the Supreme Equity Judge
proposes to introduce the viva voce examination of wit
nesse, into the practice of the Courts of Chancery.

The reader will be somewhat startled, we fear,
by the boldness with which the character of NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE has been introduced into the new historical
romance of " The Tuileries." We fancy it is the first
time that this eminent personage has been appropriated by
a writer of fiction ; bnt we find his peculiarities represented
with a degree of accuracy equal to that of BOURRIENNE.

Mr. LUKE DILLON, against whom a serious
charge is preferred by a young lady, under circumstances
which have already been stated, appeared at the Commis-
sion Court, Dublin, on Saturday, and pleaded not guilty to
the indictment. Much discussion ensued between Comae]
as to whether the prisoner should be admitted to bail. The
Judge, however, refused to allow it, and the t►ial was post-
poned to the next sitting of the Court.

The announcement of the repeal of the coal
tax was received at Barnstaple on Monday by the ringing
of bells and other tokens of popular satisfaction.

We understand the proceedings which were
instituted against the proprietor and publisher of the Irish
Volunteer have been abandoned,—Freeman's
The wine trade yesterday received Tiotipp from
the CHANCELLOR of the Exctixcluzit, that all duties on
wines since the day the Budget was announced will be ss. 6d.
per gallon, Cape excepted ; and that the merchants will
be held responsible to Government for all that bas been
sent to customers since that day.

The French performances at the Haymarket
Theatre on Monday night were more numerously and
fashionably attended than on any night this season.—
Amongst the distinguishe I visiters were—Their Royal
Highoes.es the Duchess of KENT and Duke of GLOUCES.
TER, Rid and Countess cf TANKERVILLE, Lord rsioaLEY,
Lady EAST, Lord SEAFORD, Lord F. PAULET, Marquis of
WORCESTER, Hon. Mrs. FITZQISSON, HOR.T. GRENVILLE,
Lady Dasnwooo, Sir J. CONROY, &C. The house was
crowded.

LIFE or FusELI.--The conversational
powers of FUsELI were exceeded by no one, more espe-
cially when he indulged in the sarcastic and humorous
vein; and our readers will be th refore glad to hear that
in the life of the artist, by his friend Mr. KNo%yiEs, the
table-talk of FUSEL' is conspicuous, and he iq xhibit?ti
not only in his studiq, but %racing his personal friends in
moments of recreation. The correspondence, included in
the memoir, is said to be of the highest interest as regards
literature and art,
