THE FUND!.

The deficiency in the revenue has not had any effect
on the British Funds this morning, having been already
anticipated on Saturday afternoon by the speculators.
On the contrary, Consols have improved near r per
cent. Left off on Saturday at 87 for buyers;
opened this morning 87i a Money ; and for the No-
vember Account, 8741 ; making the continuation
about I per cent.
Wednesday next rill be the settling day for Consols.
We suspect that it will not be of that heavy description
that was generally anticipated. Exchequer Bills par,

The Continental intelligence, as well as that from

pacific witure, and has had, the effect of improving the
British Funds.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We have been favoured with the following private
intelligence from Boulogne :—" In addition to the bat-
teries of fifty guns commenced there on the sth inst.,
the following warlike preparations arc preparing : a large
detachment of the' 42d of the line had arrived, who
were quartered on the inhabitants for lodging, but their
absence was purchased at five francs per week, when
they proceeded to the barracks and shared beds with
their comrades ; 210 men were taken for the Royal
Navy from the fishermen of the town, among those who
had not above two children ; the rudeness of the officers
and the lower orders continued ; many English families
were leaving who were long residents there ; great diffi-
culties prevailed at the Permit. office, and many parties
were prevented getting on board the steamers even after
their baggage was put on board, which they could not get
on shore again. The Mayor had not returned from
Paris, where he had been called on the affair of Louis
Napoleon. The evidence given on his trial by Sansot,
Colonel of the National Guard, and Captain Puguylier
and his Lieutenant, was laughed at by the eye-witnesses.
The appearance and bearing of the sailors in the French
navy have greatly improved, and the greatest attention
is paid to this arm of the national force. The French
Government, it is stated, has received despatches from
Prince Joinville, and it is expected that his two vessels
will arrive at Havre in the middle of November.

We have received Hamburgh Papers to the 10th
instant, by the mail of the 9th instant. Exchanges on
London 13 21, same as per last arrival ; gold, 427. The
above, papers do not bring any news of importance.
Mctalliques lower, 101 i ; Bank Actions, 1,540.

This being the last holiday of the Hebrews ths year,
few of them arc in the market at present. The chief
business doing is making up the accounts against the
settling day in the British market, which takes place on
Wednesday next. Consols, which were buoyant in the
early part of the morning, are not quite to good, owing
to some sales of Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced,
and may be quoted at 87i for the Account and Money.
Consols have been fluctuating during the morning,
from 87i I, and at present 87k for the 14th inst. ;
Money 86i ;at present 874; Exchequer Dills, 2
prem. par, '2 prem. ; India Bonds, 12 dis. ; India
Stock, 244 i ; Bank Stock, 166 i 166 ex. div.

The Stephen, Witney, from the United States, the

don, are now due.
The British Queen, from New York, and the Bri-
tannia, from Boston, were to start on the Ist of October.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—
This important work, which, when finished, will bring
the metropolis of Scotland and the great soanufacturiug
city of Glasgow within less than two hours' travelling
of each other, is fast progressing throughout towards
completion; so that there is now little doubt that it
will be opened to the public by the end of August
next year—and we aro glad to learn from a correspon-
dent who has visited and carefully examined one of
the most extensive divisions on the line the other day,
namely, the great viaduct across the river Almond
and adjoining valley, which is to consist of thirty-six
arches of fifty feet span, averaging about seventy feet
in height, which, taken in connection with the viaduct
of seven arches across the Batbgate road, already
finished (between which and the great viaduct there
is only a short embankment), will form one of the
most magnificent ranges of stone masonry in the king-
dom, about 3,000 feet in length. These works have
been designed and carried into execution under the
direction of Mr. Miller, of Messra. Grainger and Mil-
ler, the Company's engineers. Our correspondent also
notices that he leaned that Mr. Miller, a few days
ago, when in course of one of his usual inspections,
had the satisfaction to lay the foundation-stone of the
last abutment of the great viaduct, in presence of Mr.
Morrice, his assistant, the contractors, and numerot s
workmen, who greeted him with many hearty cheers. The
pillars are far advanced, the fifteenth arch is in progress,
the parapet over twelve of them finished, and the contrac-
tors anticipate being i,tlf.l to complete this great
viaduct within eighteen months from the time they
commenced with it I Certainly a period unP "
in bridge building ! The same contractors extend
over a length of about five miles, being the heaviest
work on the lice, embracing, besides the via-
ducts, the Winchburgh tunnel, which is also so far ad-
vanced that a locomotive engine will be able to pass
through it in about two months, part of the permanent
way approaching the eastern entrance being already laid.
We congratulate the shareholders on the early prospect of
buying the lke opened to the public. Our correspondent
he promised to continue hl- visits over over the other pot.:
tions of the line from time to time, when we shall not fail
to give insertion to his interesting communications,...

USEFUL INFORMATION JUST NOW.—At a
time when Reformers are exposed to every trick which
official menials can devise and put in force against them, it
may be of some use to circulate the following just decision
as widely as possible :--In the City of London Registra-
tion Court on Tuesday, Mr. Mylnc decided that where a
rate had not been demanded, it was considered as not being
du:., and that a party could not, under such circumstances,
be considered a defaulter.
