THE FUNDS.-(THIS.DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Arrivals this morning--the French mail ' • ship letters from
New York, Oct. 30; Calcutta, June 11; Bombay, July 17 ;
and Cape of Good Hope, Sept. 17.
By the arrival of the Garrick packet-ship, with New York
papers and letters to the 30th ult., we have accounts from the
above capital, that the scarcity of money continues there.
Two and three per cent. per month is given for loans. It is
also stated that several failures, some of considerable extent,
have taken place ; but private information says they were of a
limited description. The request, in a memorial from the
merchants to the Government, to permit the money in the
Deposit Banks to be issued for the relief of the trading classes,
had been rejected. The exchange remained at the previous
accounts-7i 8 prem. ; Bank Shares, United States, 114 f.

TUE FUNDS.
Consols opened this morning at the closing prices of yes-
terday-87i for the Account ; the same for money. Nothing
doing, except making up the accounts against settling day,
which takes place next week in the Consols. Exchequer
Bills, lid. 5 3 disc. ; Exchequer Bills, 2d., 2 4 disc. ; Bank

-91 Thrae per Cents., 324-33 ; Colombian, 21f ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,, 52i 53.
QUARTER PAST TWELVE.
We this moment learn that a great failure has taken place
at Carlisle—the Old Bank.

.£lOO,OOO Consols have just been sold, causing them to re-
cede from 87i to 87i for the Account.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The failure of the Carlisle Bank at first caused some sensa-

tion in the City, and in consequence the funds receded ; but
on its being ascertained that it would not cause much mischief,
and then failure being anticipated, the funds have somewhat
recovered.

Consols, which have been at 872 for the Account, may be
quoted at 87 i ; Money the same. Exchequer Bills, lid.,
5 3 dis. ; 2d., 2 5 dis. ; India Bonds, 1 3 dis. ; Bank Stock,
202 ; India Stock, 253.
In the Foreign Market there is little doing, as the specula-
tors in Spanish are waiting the result of the seige of Bilboa.
Spanish Active, 194; Debentures 314 ; Portuguese, 51 ;
Three per Cents, 32,12.-1 ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 53.
THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for the Account, 871

MONEY MARtiET.—The pressure for money ap-
pears to be in some degree relaxed, and the alarm occa-
sioned by the failure of the Agricultural Bank of Ireland
has, to a large extent, subsided, the letters received to-day
intimating that even the branches of that establishment
have escaped any considerable run upon them. Here the
opinion every day gains ground that by a steady and tempe-
rate perseverance in the course lately pursued by the Bank
of England, of imposing such restraints upon the circulation
as shall gradually bring down speculative prices within legi-
timate limits, the foreign exchanges ,must inevitably be
placed before long on such a basis as to insure the return of
bullion to this country. The indications of such a state of
things were to-day op 'Change unequivocal. A marked im-
provement took place in the quotations on Paris ; and on
Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Vienna the terms were rather
more favourable. The price of wheat is also 3s. lower, by
no means an unimportant feature in the question.--Morn-
ing Chronicle.

Countess of Mulgrave returned to the Phoenix Park on the

A HINT VTO THE WORKING CLASSES.-:—lf a
man at 21 years of age began to save 4s. a week, and put
it to interest every year, he would have—at 31 years of age,
130/.155. lid.; at 41,371/. 7s. 7id.; at 51,735/. 14s. 1 lid.;
at 61, 1,2291.55. 211 ;at 71, 2,296/. Os. 44d. -When we
look at these sums, and when we think how much tempta-
tion and evil might be avoided in the very act of saving
them, and how much good a man in humble circumstances
may do by these sums, we cannot help wondering that there
arc not more savers of 4s. a week. He who saves this sum
may not only pay his own way, but be may help the afflicted,
and subscribe to Carious benevolent societies. In short he
may show mercy to thousands in this world, and he may
help them on their way to a better.—Scotsman.
CAPTAIN BACK.—Letters were received in town
on Monday by the Hudson's Bay Company, informing that
this intrepid navigator had been seen in the Strait, but that
he had been unable to reach their station on the Bight on
account of the great quantity of ice. The inclemency of
the season surpassed that of several preceding years, and it
was not known if he were under sail or inclosed in the ice.
Thursday night, between seven and eight o'clock, as
Miss. Harriet Sneath, the youngest daughter of Mr. Sneath,
of Somers-town, was dressing for an evening party, her ap-
parel took fire.
The dress being gauze and muslin, in-
stantly ignited, and the young lady, before she could be
aware of the circumstance, was completely enveloped in
flames, which, ascending rapidly to the bosom, throat, and
head, rendered her incapable of making a single effort to
arrest their progress. In this dreadful state she rushed
from the apartment, screaming wildly, and was met on the
lAnding by her mother and the maid-servant, who made some
ineffectual attempts to quench the fire. Surgical aid was
quickly obtained, but, from the dreadful state of the young
lady's throat and head, faint hopes are entertained of her
recovery. Miss Sneath is only in her 18th year.
