We hear that Wakefield has this day surrendered to the
Court of Bankruptcy ; also that a banker's clerk in the City,
who has been speculating in the Funds, has made a faux pas
in the house.

Although there is a slight improvement in the British Funds,
there is not the slightest spirit for speculating to the present
hour.

Consols may be quoted at present, 94, buyers for the Open-
ing, 16th July ; Money, 9q. The house is thinly attended, as a
great many of its members have proceeded to the race for the
Oaks. Exchequer Bills have improved, 8 11 prem. ; Bank

General ltegister Office, May

In the General Assembly on Tuesday, Mr.
Cunningham, one of the non-intrusionist clergymen, brought
forward a motion against Church patronage, and Dr. look
moved that the overtures be dismissed. The amendment was
carried by a majority of 6, the numbers for Mr. Cunningham's
being 133, and for Dr. Cook's 139.
litsoY FOUND IN THE RIVER.—This morning,
about eight o'clock, a body was discovered by the policeman on
duty floating up the river with the tide off Blackfriars-bridge.
An alarm was raised, and two watermen put off and dragged the
body on shore at Barge-house Stairs, between Blackfriars and
Waterloo bridges, where a shell was procured, and it was con-
veyed to the bone-house, Christchurch Workhouse, where, on
searching it, 4s. in silver, a pen-knife, and a silk pocket hand-
kerchief were found, but nothing which could lead to its iden-
tification. The deceased appears about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches
high, rather stout made, dark hair and eyes, and age about
26. He had on a green dress-coat with yellow buttons, silk
waistcoat, and trowsers, wellington-boots, and a black silk
stock, in which was a union or double gold pin. There is a
large bruise on the right temple, but tlus might have been
caused by the drifting of the body against some of the numerous
barges in the river.
MELANCHOLY OCCURIIENCE.—We regret to
announce that Charles Foster, Esq., son of the lion. Baron
Foster, was accidentally drowned on Monday, while bathing
near his father's residence, Oriel Temple in the county Louth.
The Chief Baron announced yesterday in the Court of Exche-
quer, that, owing to a severe domestic calamity, the Baron
would be absent for some days.—Dublin Paper.
PUBLIC DINNER TO THE HON. CHARLES
LANGDALE, M.P.—A public dinner was given last evening to
the Hon. C. Langdale, at the Freemason's Tavern, as a public
acknowledgment of the great services rendered by him to the
Catholic cause during his Parliamentary career, and of the
high estimation in which his public and private character is
held. About 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The Right
Hon. Lord Camoys in the chair. Amongst the gentlemen
present were the Right Rev. Dr. Wareing, the Right Rev. Dr.
Collier, the Right Rev. Dr. Clancy, with many of the Catho-
lic clergy of the Metropolitan diocese, Daniel O'Connell, Esq.,
M. P., the Hon. Edward Petre, the Hon. Charles Clifford, Sir
J. M. Doyle, K. C. H., Mr. Lynch, M.P., G. Barry, Esq.,
M.P., P. H. Howard, Esq., M. P. , &c. Several other toasts
were drunk and duly honoured, and the company having spent
the evening with the utmost harmony and conviviality, sepa-
rated at a late hour.
THE CHARTISTS AND THE COMING ELEC-
TIONS.—The Bath Chartists have come to the following reso-
lutions :-1. That in the opinion of this meeting, it is incum-
bent upon the Chartists of Bath to take a prominent part in the
coming election ; and to secure, if possible, the return of such
representatives as will labour most industriously to advance the
cause of democracy. 2. That in the opinion of this meeting,
all the candidates soliciting the suffrages of the electors of Bath,
shall be waited on by the Chartist Council, and examined upon
the measures they will support in Parliament. 3. That the
Chartists at present assembled, recommend their brethren at
Bath to discountenance all acts of bribery and corruption ; and
call upon them not to yield to influence or intimidation.
FRONTIER OF ITALY, MAY 15.—Joseph
Bonaparte, who has obtained permission to reside in Genoa, has
hired there a splendid palace, which many persons apprehend
will become the rendezvous of all the adherents of the Bona-
parte party.
