THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend, and
a Dutch mail. We have ship-letters from China and St.
Domingo.
The Funds have commenced to-day with a brighter appear-
ance than for some days past, Consols, which left off on Sa-
turday at 911 92 for the Account, opened at 92g; for Money,
92 ; Exchequer Bills, 17 19 ; India Bonds, 4 5 ; Bank Stock,
210 211 ; India Stock, 258 259.
In the Foreign Market, in consequence of the Spanish
Stock coming near one per cent. higher from Paris, Spanish
Active, which closed on Saturday at 451 Y, has reached 461+ ;
Passive, 14+ 1 ; Deferred, 23+ ; Portuguese, 85+ ; Three
per Cents., 54 i ; Colombian 321 4 ; Mexican, 35A- 36 ;
Dutch Two and a Half per Cents., 57+ ; Five per Cents.,
1014 102.
French Five per Cents., •108 f. 20c. ; Three per Cents.,
82f. 20c. ; Spanish Active, 46if.
The note sent down to Lloyd's on Saturday, late in the af-
ternoon, from the Foreign Office, on the obstruction offered
by the Russians to the free navigation of the Danube, has not
had any effect on the Funds. On the contrary, Consols have
improved.
The news from Paris to-day is of little importance ; with
the exception of its being reported that a telegraphic dispatch
had been received from Bayonne, stating that General Evans
had defeated the Carlists at St. Sebastian, and established a
bridge at Passages. Up to the present hour we cannot con-
firm or contradict this report ; but it had the effect in Paris to
improve the Spanish Stock one per Cent. Owing to the bad
weather, no late accounts had been received from Madrid.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The general topic of conversation in the City entirely re-
lates to a letter being received from Paris by Express, with
an account of two actions having been fought between Gene-
ral Evans and the Carlists, and in which it is reported that 400
of our Marines took part. After a very severe and desperate
conflict, General Evans succeeded in taking the heights of St.
Barbara. It is also stated, that he followed the Carlists in
their retreat, and took several pieces of cannon. This is stated
to be the telegraph dispatch, but we cannot as yet trace this
account to any authentic source.
Consols are at present 92,E for the Account, Money the
same ; a scarcity of Stock prevails in the market. Exchequer
Bills, 17 19 ; India Bonds, 53, lower ; Bank Stock, 211 212 ;
India Stock 259.
Spanish Active, 46,1 ; Passive, 14i; Portuguese, 86 ; Three
per Cents., 55.
In the Share Market—Stevenson's Brighton 15 premium ;
Colonial Bank, 6 premium ; London and Birmingham, fallen
to 771 premium. In other Shares the prices are much the
same as on Saturday.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Miss Parker, niece
of the Earl of Macclesfield, was united on Tuesday last to the
Earl of Antrim, at St. George's, Hanover-square. The ce-
remony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Pechell, brother-in-
law to the noble bridegroom. At its conclusion the happy
pair proceeded to Homewood Park, the Earl's residence in
Berkshire. The bridal party, which, owing to Lord Maccles
field's indisposition, was entirely composed of near relatives,
retired from the church to his residence in Conduit-street,
where they partook of a cold collation. The Alarquis of Lo-
thian, the Earl and Countess of Haddington, Lord Mark Kerr
and the Ladies Kerr, the Countess de Salis and Mr. Fane de
Salis, Mr. and Mrs. Fane, the Earl of Abingdon, Lady C.
Bertie, and Lord Norreys were present.

On Wednesday morning, Thomas de Ste. Croix,
Esq., of Jersey, about 40 years of age, was found dead in his
bed-room, and covered with blood, having during the night
cut his throat with a razor.

COUNT POZZO DI BORGO.—ST. PETERSB URGII,
APRIL 23.—The Emperor has sent the insignia of the Order
of St. Andrew, in diamonds, to Count Pozzo di Borgo, his
Ambassador in London, accompanied by a most gracious
Cabinet letter, thanking him for his long and important
services.—Russian Paper. [The disgrace, courtly speaking,
of this veteran Councillor of Russia, who was once a member
of the National Convention in France, and therein made
the most violent speech ever made in that most violent as-
sembly against Aristocrats and absolutists, appears to be cer-
tain. The revelations of the Portfolio have spread strange
confusion amongst those professors of mysticism—the Diplo-
matists.]
On ploughing last week a field at Laval, in the
Marne, France, a: small vase, containing 616 silver coins, in
perfect preservation, was turned up near the old Roman road
from Rheims to Verdun ; 290 arc consular, belonging to at
least 150 different families-4 of Pompey, 11 of Julius Caesar,
22 of Marc Anthony, on the reverse of six of which is the
profile of Cleopatra, 3 of Lucius Antonius, 1 of Lepidus, 165
of Augustus, and 20 of Tiberius.
