THE FUNDS.
Up to the present time there is no business doing either
in the British or Foreign Markets, nor is it expected that
there will be any animation in the Markets until late in
thei afternoon, when, in all probability, the contents of the
King of the French's Speech relating to the affairs of
Belgium will be known, as we have no doubt that the
French Ambassador will be in possession of it by the above
period, if not already in his possession.

_HALF...PAST ONE The Monte Video " Journal Universal," of the 17th Sep-
tember, contains important details connected with the
blockade of this port. In that of the 10th is the follow-
ing correspondence :

" Thomas Samuel Hood, Es Monte Video, Sept. 7.
q., H. B. Majesty's Constal-
General, Monte Video.
" SIR-Having in contemplation, conjointly with others,
to purchase some of the prize property sent into this port
by the French squadron blockading Buenos Ayres, part of
which is announced for sale in the Universal' of this date,
I take the liberty of requesting your opinion whether this
property will be secure against subsequent attachment by
its prior owners.

(Signed)

"EDWARD DE YOUGH."
MONTE VIDEO, SEPT. 8.
" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of yesterday, asking my opinion for your in-
formation, whether prize property sent into this port for
sale by the French squadron blockading Buenos Ayres will
be secure against subsequent attachment by its previr:,us
owners. -

" In reply, I have the honour to acquaint you that
captured property, sold in a neutral port before con-
demnation, will not, I believe, be safe to
purchase, be-
cause the character of property can onl be eally
changed by the sentence of a competent tribunal l and ing the
absence of that indispensable formality, the purchaser can
have no title recognizable by the usage of nations, and
therefore no security against attachment by the original
owners, since the law must always consider it his until con-
demnation shall have transferred that right to the captors.
" Tuos. SAMUEL Hoop, Consul General."
The publication of these documents appeared to have
caused considerable sensation in Monte Video.
To the present hour nothing is known or hinted respect-
ing the French King's speech, nor is their any-material al-
teration in the price of Consols. In the morning, they were
93718, at present a shade lower, 93i ; the only feature worth
notice in the market is thatthe Government Broker purchased

Consols for the Account, A3i.

The Lady Mayoress arrived on Saturday at the
Mansion House, from the Isle of Wight.
On Wednesday morning last a labourer, named
John Thorrogood, in the employ of Mr. William Spurgin,
of Bradwell, met with a fatal accident. Vie was sent to
Bradwell water si.'.le with a cart and three horses, when the
animals taking fright the cart was turned over upon
him, ::Jud he received such severe injury that he survived.

serving man, and had been in the strvice of his master
nearly twenty years, He has left a widow and six chil.
dren, on whose behalf a subscription has been commenced.

visit it with some severity, and the sentence therefore
was, that the prisoner be transported for seven years.

' I Captain Beecher, whose equestrian exploits have been se
often recorded in the annals of sporting, was charged by
John Reeve, a waiter, with assaulting him. The complain-
ant stated that about twelve o'clock, last night, he was com-
ing out of the Sheridan Knowles public-house, in Bridges-
street, when he happened to touch the defendant's foot, as
he was passing with a friend, in a state of intoxication. Ile
had scarcely time to say, " Beg your pardon, Sir," when he
found himself sprawling in the carriage-way pavement., from
the effects of a blow which he received from the defendant
for his politcpcSs, and a constable coming up at the time, he
was given into custody.
The defendant denied that he was in the slightest degree
intoxicated, but having received a violent kick in the ankle,
from the complainant, as he rushed out of the Elysium, he
pushed him off, and he fell into the roadway ; he would be
sorry to let any man, or any other animal, dash against
him suddenly, without defending himself from injury.
A witness who bad been in company with the defendan
proved, that neither he nor his friend had been drinkingt
and seeing the complainant rush out of such a house in a
livery fit for the servant of a nobleman, they thought he in-
tended some harm, and his friend pushed him off.
The defendant said he was so satisfied of his conduct, as
he could not imagine what the intentions of the defendant
might have been, he had no objection to have the case sent
to the Sessions.
Mr. MINSHULL expressed himself satisfied that there
was:xi° necessity for such a course, and he had no objection
to allow the matter to terminate in another way. The
parties then retired, and after a short absence they re-
turned, saying their differences were made up. The defen,
dant was consequently discharged.
