THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY; TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The great calamity which happened last night in the City,
of the total destruction of the Royal Exchange, and the sur-
rounding shops, by fire, has caused great bustle, and put a
stop to all business. The origin of the fire is at present un-
known : some say it occurred in the Captains' Room at
Lloyd's; others in the kitchen. The interior of the 'Change
is entirely filled with the ruins and fallen walls, which, up to
the present hour, are burning, and throwing up large volumes
of smoke. A number of engines are continually playing near
Svreeting's-alley, which is a very narrow passage, to prevent
the opposite houses from taking fire. Mr. French, the
chronometer and watch-maker, who had a very large stock of
plate and jewels in his house in this place, has fortunately
saved them in time. Great fear is entertained that the fire
will communicate to his premises, as it is now raging on that
side, where the firemen are labouring very hard to prevent
further destruction, as the wind has shifted] to the south-west.
It is stated that most part of the books, at Lloyd's have been
saved, but no calculation can be made at present of the loss
sustained. The underwriters have removed their business this
morning to the Jerusalem Coffee-house, where Lloyd's book
is stationed, on which there are but few arrivals.
An extraordinary occurrence took place at twelve o'clock
last night, being the last hour that the Royal Exchange
chimes play; it struck up " There's nae luck about the house,"
at the moment Lloyd's rooms were in a blaze.
It was an unfortunate circumstance that the man who has
the keys of the gates of the Royal Exchange lives at Green-
wich, which prevented for some time the engines getting into
the 'Change. At length they broke open the gates and en-
tered ; but the fire had already made great progress. Up to
the present hour wo do not hear of any lives being lost.

HALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK
Tho city remains in a great state of agitation ; the fire
now rages only in the inner parts; the exterior parts on fire
are nearly subdued ; but at the present time the engines con-
tinue playing all round the Exchange. The tower still re-
mains, but a mere shell, and it is announced in danger of fall-
ing by the City Surveyor. The only statue remaining is
Charles the Second in the centre of the Royal Exchange
entire.
We understand that the Lord Mayor has given permission
to the merchants, that Guildhall is to be in future adopted as
the Royal Exchange for business, until a new one is rebuilt.
At present the Jerusalem Coffee-house is crowded with the
under-writers; the most important circumstance is, that a
great quantities of books at Lloyd's have been saved.
There is a meeting of the Committee of Lloyds' holding at
present with closed doors ; consequently to the present hour
nothing is known.
A great concourse of persons are assembled round the Royal
Exchange to view tho ruins.
In the British and Foreign Funds scarce a bargain is doing.
Consols have been during the morning at 924 ,a for the Ac-
count; Exchequer Bills, lid. per day, 53 55; India Bonds,
