THE FUNDS.

The Funds are rather on the improvement this morning,
owing to more favourable accounts received from Holland
in respect to the negotiations, as well as the improvement
in the French Rentes. Consols opened at the price they
left off at on Saturday. SBi for the Account, and went
up to 881, at which price they are at present, with little
doing as yet. The public and speculators are greatly
surprised in not having any arrivals from Portugal, which
they fully depended on this morning.
The French Papers received this morning state that
a courier passed through Bayonne from Madrid, stating
that nothing of a decisive nature had taken place at Lisbon,
but the armies of both brothers were in sight of each
other. In all probability before the day passes over, we
may have important arrivals from Lisbon and Oporto,
which is most anxiously sought after in the city.
In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Scrip 19i to 20
prem., in other Foreign Securities nothing doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We understand that Prince 'Talley rand leaves London
for Paris on Thursday next on his private affairs.
We understand that the basis of the negociation has
been determined on with Holland by the Conference, and
there is no further question to settle. It now rests with
his Dutch Majesty, to accept the terms or not.
Up to the present hour we have no arrivals from Holland.
Consols continue at 884 for Account, with little
doing.

Portuguese Scrip is rather heavy at 19 to premium,
it being settling day in the Foreign Market.

It is stated from good authority, that the
KING and QUEEN intend, the beginning of October, to
pay a visit to Admiral Sir HENRY NEAL, Bart., at his
picturesque mansion at Wallhampton, near Lymington.
The several yeomanry corps in the neighbourhood have
received orders from their Commanding Officers to hold
themselves in readiness to escort their MAJESTIES from
the entrance of the New Forest.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of
KENT and the Princess VICTORIA and suite honoured Mr.
A. R. and Lady ELIZABETH DRUMNIOND with a visit on
Friday, at their Marine Cottage, opposite Cowes. They
were welcomed on shore by a band from Portsmouth,
and then conveyed in Mr. DRUJIDIOND'S carriages to
Cadlund Park, where the Royal visitors expressed their
admiration at the delightful scenery and grounds, and
afterwards returned to partake of a lunch prepared at the
cottage. The company present joined in a festive dance
on the turf, which continued for several hours, to the
great gratification of all classes. The illustrious visitors
left the cottage in the evening, and in their way to Ca!shot
Castle (where they embarked on board the Emerald
yatcht) homew trd, honoured the beautiful residence of
the Earl of CAVAN with their presence.
BARNSLEY.--A correspondent of the Don-
caster Gazette says, " On Monday, this town was honoured
with the presence of Lord Wharncliffe, Viscount Morpeth,
the Hon. John Wortley, John Spencer Stanhope, Esq.,
F. Vernon Wentworth, Esq., Dr. Corbett, and several of
the neighbouring gentlemen, i❑ order to attend a mee,ing,
the ostensible object of which was to form a sort of Me•
chanics' Institute, or library for the working classes. The
National School-room was well nigh filled by the weavers,
soon after the Noble Proprietor of Wortley bad taken the
chair. His Lordshsp made some prefatory remarks, ex-
pressive of the utility of such institutions, and his sincere
desire to promote the interest of the town. A series of
resolutions were then moved and carried.
GLASGOW COMBINATION.—The Police
have a laborious job just now to keep the engineers and
founders belonging to some of the establishments in the
city and suburbs in order ; and to prevent them from
assaulting and annoying those tradesmen who are at work
in the pisses which they formerly occupied. On Wed-
nesday night, a number of them assembled opposite Mr. D.
B. Starke's foundery, in Delft House Lane, where they
were very riotous, calling out " Black Sheep," "Nobs,"
and other opprobrious names, to the peaceable men em-
ployed at that work. The police bring on the spot, a
❑umber of the intimidators were apprehended, and two of
them were fined in the Police Court on Thursday, the
one in two, and the other in one guinea.
TAX ON MEDICAL STUDENTS.—WhOTI it
was proposed, a few months back, to provide for the ex-
penses arising out of the execution of the Anatomy Act,
by a levy of an annual tax on medical students, we con.
demned the suggestion, as being founded on a bad princi-
ple, and a wholly mistaken policy, and we rejoice at
having the opportunity of stating, that Earl Grey and his
colleagues have resolved on making no alteration in the
Stamp Act which shall operate to the pecuniary disad-
vantage of those gentlemen who were engaged in the
study of Medicine.—Lancet.
A PROJECT.—From the sublime to the ridi-
culous is but a step, truly said Napoleon ; but no one
ever yet found out that it was also but a step from the
absurd to the useful. This seems, however, to he in the
course of exemplification even now at Paris, from which
the leaders of the St. Simonians, Pere Enfantin, Holstein,
a merchant, Olivier, a farmer, Lambert and Fournal, en-
gineers, and Petit, a man of property, are reported to have
run away, with the intentio❑ of proceeding to Egypt, and
offering their services to Mehemet Ali to cut the canal
across the Isthmus of Suez !—Lilerary Gazette.
SEDUCTION AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.--
On Saturday as two young men, residing in Little Albany-
street, Regent's-park, were proceeding to their work along
Regent street, they observed a handsome young woman,
about 19, leaning against the rails of an area, as if unwell.
On going ❑p to her she fell, and the young men seeing a
kind of froth about her mouth, took her to the hospital,
when it appeared that she had taken laudanum. She was
recovered, when she stated that, about 12 months since,
she was seduced by a trooper of the Life Guards, who bad
lately abandoned her. Her friends having been discovered,
she was taken home.

ERYSIPELAS.—Those who continually abuse
their strength in forced exercise, as huntsmen, dancers,
wresters, &c., are particularly liable to erysipelas. Menial
emotions will also excite it. On reading to a criminal
his sentence of death, he was seized with an erysipelas of
t lie face, which procured him a reprieve for forty days..—
Baron Alibert, in the Lancet.

NEWCASTLE CORN MA RKET —Sept. 14.
Our supply of Wheat from the farmers to-day was moderate,
principally of the new crop, and the coddition so various, that
prices again varied from 40s. to 60s. per quarter; the old Wheats
sold briskly, without change in value. There was a good supply
of Oats, and the trade brisk, at improving prices. Nothing yet
doing in malting Barley ; for grinding parcels there is a good
demand, at our quotations. Malt free sale, and looking higher.
Fine Rye wanted. No Beans nor Pease offering. Fresh Flour
good sale.

PUBLIC DINNER TO THE MEMBERS.-
Mr. Oswald has declined the public dinner proposed to
be given to him and the Lord Provost jointly, on the
ground that it is impossible to bestow approbation on
both Members at one and the same time, for their conduct
in Parliament, since they hail occasionally differed in their
views of important public questions during the Session.
The meeting, there'ore, agreed, that no alternative was
luft them but to go on with the dinner to Mr. Ewing
alone ; and, accordingly, it was fixed that the Lord Dean
of Guild should wait on Mr. Ewing, to ask him to name
the day. This motion was passed with acclamation.—
Scots Times.

CIIILD MURDER.—On Wednesday Christian
King was convicted by the High Court of Justiciary at
Aberdeen of the murder of her infant child, but recom-
mended to mercy. Lord Mackenzie, in passing sentence
of death, said it would be for his Majesty's advisers to
determine whether any, and what, effect that recommen-
dation would have, but be advised her to prepare for the
worst, and ordered her for execution on the 7th October.
THE LATE DIABOLICAL TRANSACTION.
—For some days past, Mr. Mander, the Coroner, and a
Jury, have been engaged at Ashford, near Bake well, in
holding an inquest, which has excited very unusual atten-
tion and interest. The inquest is upon the bodies of three
unfortunate miners, who were suffocated in a mine, called
the Red Soil Mine, near Ashford, in consequence of some
material having been ignited in that and an adjoining
mine, called the Magpie Mine, or in one of them, by
way, it is supposed, of contesting a point of possession,
and by means of the smoke expelling the respective
parties from their subterraneous tenements. The result
of the inquest is a verdict of Wilful Murder against twenty
persons, being working miners, as principals, and against
two others, being partners in the mine, as accessaries be-
fore the fact. Of these, seventeen were on Thursday last
committed to prison to take their trials at the next Assizes
fur Derbyshire; the other five have not been apprehended.
Mr. Wake, of Sheffild, and Mr. Andrew Brittlebank,
of Winster, attended as Attorneys for all the parties im-
plicated by this verdict. We are informed that, on en-
tering into the jury room, they requested permission to
attend, which the Coroner refused ; then they requested
that the several parties who were in custody on suspicion
might be present, which was also refused ; then they
desired to be furnished with copies of, or that they
might be permitted to see, the depositions upon which
the Coroner had founded his warrants fur their appre-
hension, but this also was refused. Upon receiving all
these refusals, they required to be present at the inquest
as a matter of righi, and thereupon they were gently
put out of the room, so that the question might be raised
whether or not they, as attorneys for the prisoners,
had such right. We are also informed that, upon
requesting to see the prisoners, they were shown into
their several apartments, but denied a private interview,
the chief police officer from Derby insisting upon keeping
one constable in each room; and, under all these
circumstances, they intimated to the Coroner that they
should decline to offer any evidence in defence of the
prisoners. The peculiar circumstances which we have
just narrated imperiously call for the suspensions of all
opinions as to the guilt of the parties.—Sheffield
Mercury.
