We may expect daily her Majesty's steam ship Dee, which
is supposed to nave sailed from Jamaica March 14, touching
at Antigua and Bermuda, on her homeward-bound route. It
is understood that the above islands are the only places that the
President steam ship could make, in the event of her running
to the south. The next Jamaica mail cannot bring any intel-
ligence of the President, as it comes direct for England.
The British Funds are not quite so good as in the early part
of the morning, owing to some money stock being brought to
market, but not to any great extent. It is supposed that the
high price of Consols has tempted persons to realise. Money
is rather lighter in the house, from 24 to 3 per cent.
Con,ols may be quoted at present 90/ for the Account ;
Money lower, 901, have been 904 ; Exchequer Bills, 15 16-
14 prem lower; Bank Stook, 1721 1736 rather better; India

`°GOING OFF."—A few days since, as Elisha
Smith, one of Lord Carnarvon's gamekeepers, at his Lord-
ship's seat, was proceeding through the preserves, he dis-
covered a fine pheasant in a snare, and immediately after-
Wards saw a poacher close to the spot, attempting to make his
escape. He started off in pursuit of the worthy, but in passing
through a hedge his gun went off, fortunately without doing
him any injury. He left his gun in the copse, in order that
he might be u,encumb, red duri.,7 tlp. 11,1,10, The ron,he-
