THE FUNDS.

The British funds continue fiNti, although no business of
consequence has been done in the course of the morning, and
they have a tendency to improvement. The: Exchequer Bill
market still retains its heaviness as on Saturday, and there is a
prevailing opinion that the Savings' Banks have made use of
the Exchequer Bills that the ( liancellor deposited with them
for the eight millions of the Navy Estimates taken from the
Savings' Bank Fund.
Consols reached in the course of the morning 90 to 90a
for the Account, at present may be quoted 90, with an ap-
pearance of a further rise. Exchequer Bills heavy, 3 prem.,
par, 2 prem ; Batik Stock, nothing done ; India Stock, 251 i ;
India Bonds, par.

The Foreign Market Spanish is inactive, Spanish lower,
•1 ; Portuguese, 34* ; Brazilian, 674 ; Dutch Five per Cents,'
lOU. The above are the only quotations during the morning.
The Share Market is in a similar state as that of the Foreign
Market ; London and Brighton, 461 A; London and Birming-
ham, ISS 1591 ; Midland Counties, Shares, 24; North
Midland, 74.

WARSAW, MAY 7.—The Emperor Nicholas, on occa-
sion of the marriage of his son, has conferred some fa-
vours on the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Poland.
Our journals contain three Imperial resolutions. By the
irst, all persons under sentence of death have their pu-
nishment commuted to imprisonment for life ; the punish-
ments of confinement in the. House of Correction and
ordinary imprisonments, fines, and corporal punishments
are, with the exception of some cases, entirely remitted.
By the second, all arrears of debt to the Treasury, ori-
ginating at the time of the Duchy of Warsaw and of the
kingdom till the end of 1831, and many other particu-
larly- specified claims which the Treasury has for various
taxes to the end of 1837, are excused. This resolution
contains, besides, several other financial remissions for
the subjects of the Kingdom of Poland, in respect to ac-
cidents and losses which they have sustained of late
years. The third resolution grants to a number of po-
litical offenders, among whom there are some banished
to Siberia, either a full pardon or a diminution of their
punishment.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 10.—The Helsingurs Adis an-
nounces that on account of the negociations which are
on foot between Denmark and England relative to the
Sound duties, Mr. %Vessel, the translator, and Mr.
Olrik, the Comptroller in the Chamber of the Sound-
duty, have been sent to London.
BERLIN, MAY 11.—It becomes more and more proba-
ble that Count Maltzan will be removed from Vienna
to London ; family connections make it very desirable
tot s irom Vienna spew( of it as certain.
These letters likewise say that the Aulic • council of
War has resolved, in case the insurrection in Bosnia should
spread, to assemble a corps of ten thousand men to serve
:he frontier' between Petrina and Grodiska. The neces-
sary orders have already been issued.
BREMEN, MAY 10.— Yesterday the Bremen ship Julia
St. Edward, Captain R. Siedenborg, jun., was brought
into the Weser, under the care of a Lieutenant of the
English Navy, on the pretext, alleged by an English
cruiser, that it was to be employed in the slave trade.
This has caused a great sensation here, because the de-
testation of that scandalous traffic is here too general for
any. ship under the flag ofßremen to engage in it directly
or indirectly. The owner of the ship has at once applied
to the Magistrates to have the whole matter thoroughly
investigated, and both to do him justice, and, at the same
time, to clear the flag of Bremen from every suspicion
,:hat it could. lend itself to the carrying on of a scandalous
traffic.—Hamburgh Papers, May 14.
