THE FUNDS.-(THIS I)AY.)

CITY, 7'II'ET,VE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburg
mails—no ship letters received.
The few arrivals this morning cause a great dearth of intel-
ligence in the City, and at present we have no later accounts
from Madrid than previously received of the 3d inst.

THE FUNDS.

Consols opened this morning at the closing prices of yester-
day-91 for Money, and 91 to 91* for the Account ; Exche-
quer Bills, 8 10 ; India Bonds, 2 disc., par ; Bank Stock,
2121 2134 • India Stock, 260 i 261 k.
In the l?oreign Market Spanish Active opened at 331* ;
with little doing as yet, the speculators fearing to act until
further accounts are received from Madrid, to ascertain the
state of that capital, for which great fear is entertained.

BALP-PAST ONE.
Up to the present time we are very dull in the City for want
of intelligence. The speculators are anxiously waiting for
further accounts from Madrid, which are hourly expected.
Consols have rather improved in the course of the morning
from 91 to 91+ for the Account; Money, 914; Exchequer
Bills, 9 10 ; -India Bonds, 1 premium ; Bank Stock, 213 ;
India Stock, 2614.
Spanish Active Bonds steady at 331 ; Passive, 10-1 ; De-
ferred, 134 ; Portuguese, 754 to 76 ; Three per Cents. 464.
Nothing doing in Shares.

THREE O'CLOCK.
It is now rumoured that an express has arrived from Ma-
drid, with news to the 15th instant. Some disturbances are
said to have taken place, and it is further asserted that the
Constitution was proclaimed in that capital.
Consols for the Account, 91i.

- - This day, being Queen Adelaide's birthday, will be
a day of festivity. His Majesty will give a grand banquet in
St. George's Hall, Windsor, in the evening to some Members
of the Royal Family, and several of the Nobility and Gentry
in the neighbourhood of Windsor. In the evening, Windsor
will be illuminated.
The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans left Christ-
church, Hants, yesterday, for Weymouth, where they intend
to stop a few days, on their way to town, to make prepara-
tions for their departure for the Continent. Miss Angela
Burdett, youngest daughter of Sir Francis, who has been for
some months on a visit to the Duke and Duchess, has joined
Lady Burdett, in St. James's-place.
The Duke of Beaufort, accompanied by the Earl
of Chesterfield, left town on Wednesday for Brighton.
The younger branches of the family of the Duke
and Duchess of Bedford have left Belgrave-square for the
Doune of Rothiemurchus, in the Highlands. Her Grace
will visit her nephew, the Duke of Richmond, at Gordon
Castle, in October, when that baronial edifice will be very gay.
The Cabinet Ministers have ther annual fish dinner
this day at Blackwal!.
The magnificent new steam ship Caledonia left
Edinburgh on Wednesday evening, and arrived at Blackwall
at twelve yesterday morning, having made a splendid passage
of 41 hours.
The number of Barristers at the Exeter Assizes
amounted to only 92 1
Immediately after the Prorogation of Parliament,
Lord John and Lady Russell will leave town for Tonbridge,
where they have taken a house for the autumn. In addition
to the salubrity of the air, it will be a convenient distance
from the metropolis for Lord John to return to town as bu-
siness may require.
Lady Mulgrave has arrived at Mulgrave Castle,
Yorkshire. Her Ladyship is much attached to the place, for
its romantic situation and delightful scenery cannot be surpassed.
Her presence is always cheering to the tenantry and to the
poor, as she delights in doing good, and in administering to
the wants of those who stand in need of assistance.
TRICKS UPON TRAVELLERS.—TOM a Cor-
respondent).—A gentleman voyaging to TRAVELLERS.-
ogne by one of
,he cheap steamers met, a few days since, with a very ugly
contretemps. He was the bearer of a remarkably handsome
sable boa, of some thirty guineas value, an intended present to
some favoured fair one. Anxious that this costly affair should
escape the lynx-eyed investigation of the French douaniers,
he requests an affable sort of body in petticoats (with whom
he had
.established en route a kind of traveller's chit-chat) to
pass it for him on her shoulders : "We shall meet again,"
says he, " after the ordeal is over, and I shall relieve you of
it with thanks." This, however, was a species of relief not
quite intelligible to our affable friend; who met his smiling ap-
plication for its restoration with a volume of the lowest and
loudest abuse, for daring (" pitiful swindling vagabond as he
was I") to claim what had been her own for months, " the gift
of her dear, dear papa." As the sort of people imported by
boats are not in the best possible odour at Boulogne, the ruse
succeeded ; all sided with the lady, and the " vrai Amphitrion"
(a perfect stranger in the town) not only lost his boa, but nar-
rowly escaped a sound ducking.—Morning Paper.
A third attempt to obtain a church rate, at Sutton-
in- Ashfield, has been made, and again failed.—Doncaster
Gazette.

We should advise the victims of rheumatism, and
those liable to the disease, to avoid all unnecessary exposure
to a cold and damp air ; we should advise them to cover the
whole surface of the body with that kind of clothing which
will best protect the system from their influence—the most
trustworthy of which is, beyond all doubt, flannel; and this
should be worn by day, and left off by night. In this way
the surface of the body is not unduly and unnecessarily debili-
tated by keeping it in a state of excitement in bed, where the
temperature of the air is necessarily almost uniform, and the'
immediate contact of cold air with the body is, or ought to be,
impossible, whether in the shape of draughts or in any other
way; while the body is protected by it at the only times when
it is exposed, or likely to be exposed, to the exciting causes of
rheumatism—Magazine of Health.

Vanguard, Plymouth Sound, August 9, 1836.
SIR—We returned to this anchorage yesterday, after a
weeks' absence, during which we have had three trials with
the squadron ; one in a good stiff breeze, with a sea ; the others
in smooth water and light airs, and in all of them this ship had
a decided superiority. The Bellerophon, 80, (flag ship) holds
us the greatest tug ; Pembroke, 74, next ; but it would be
difficult to place the Hercules, Minden, or Cornwallis any-
where.

Sir William Symonds left us off the Eddystone in the
Admiral's tender a few days ago, after witnessing one trial
since the 40 tons of ballast were removed, perfectly satisfied,
as well he may be, with the pre-eminent qualifications of his
splendid and magnificent ship.
Throughout these trials the squadron has been strictly limited
to the same sail precisely that the Admiral himself has set ; but
as a proof of the matchless stability of the Vanguard, it may
perhaps be worthy of some little consideration to know that,
with top gallant sails over single-reefed top sails, courses, jib
and spanker, going nine and six on a bow line, she not only
carried her lower deck ports up, but could also hare had her
orlop deck scuttle out with perfect ease.
My particular object for addressing this faithful and im-
partial account (which will be corroborated by the official
report of the Commander-in-Chief), is to contradict a para-
graph copied into your liberal paper last week from the
Hampshire Telegraph of the Ist instant, the whole of which,
as regards this ship, does not contain a word of truth.

We calculated on meeting the Asia, 84, during this cruize,
that our noble Chief might have had the opportunity of wit-
nessing a trial between us, but it is supposed she has gone on to
the Mediterranean.

On the day we removed the 40 tons of her ballast from the
hold, it was placed on one side the main-deck, which did not
make the ship incline one;degree--another proof, if wanted, of
the ship's stability. Sir William Symonds may, without con-
tradiction, be fairly entitled to the important motto, which the
bust of his Vanguard proudly boasts,
" Palmam qui meruit ferat."
I am Sir, your obliged servant,
R. M.
