THE FUNDS.

We have no further arrivals as yet from Portugal, nor indeed
from any other quarter, of conse9uence. The length of the
debate in the House of Lords last night, and the majority for
Ministers, sufficiently occupy the attention of the public.
Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday,
90% for the Account, with little doing as yet.
HALF-PAST TWELVE.

There have been some fluctuations in Consols, which had
reached 91, since which they have receded to 90i j for the ac-
count, owing to an opinion that the Irish Church Bill will meet
with some difficulties in the Committee.
HALF-PAST ONE.

By private letters from Rio Janeiro, it appears that a project
had passed the House of Deputies, and gone to the Senate,
concerning the copper currency, and from what could be
learned, the eighty reals are to be twenty paper, and issued
from 1,000 upwards, the copper to be taken in at 1,280
per lb., with five per cent. deduction for the expenses,
and a proposition that two per cent. should be levied on
imports for its liquidation, and a 20th part of the paper
issued to be destroyed every year. This plan appears very
easy, from the resources of the country; and the two per
cents. is the best duty that can be levied, and is likely to do
away with false coinage ; and the paper currency will give an
impulse to trade, particularly at Bahia, which has suffered
so long from false copper.
Consols are at present 90% % for the account.

THE LEEDS DYERS.—The dyers at Leeds
have this week discharged all their workmen who are mem-
bers of the Trades Union. Some of the operatives had pre-
viously turned out for an advance of wages.—Wakefield
Journal.

BRADFORD STUFF MARKET.—The mar-
ket yesterday, at Bradford, had a flatness thrown over it on
account of the dispute between the Leeds dyers and their
workmen. The manufacturers asked an advance upon 6-4
merinos, but we believe it was not given.— Wakefield Journal.
WENTWORTH AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY.—
It will be seen, on reference to our report of the meeting under
this bankruptcy, that the funds now in the hands of the as.
signees are 10,0001., and that some property will shortly
become available. It requires 26,000/. to pay one shilling in
the pound, as the amount of debts proved against the Wakefield
estate was nearly 500,0001. The total amount of debts
proved, including the York and Bradford branches was
709,0001.—Wakefield Journal.
DIABOLICAL ACT.—The town of Crowland
in Lincolnshire, is a good deal excited at present by a respect-
able professional gentleman► being obliged to seek redress at law
against a frequenter of low society for the protection of his
character. On Monday evening, Mr. Surrox, a respectable
tradesman, returned to Crowland for some papers, which were
required by the plaintiff's counsel, and during the night some
wretches took the linch pins out of the hind wheels of the
chaise, which was not discovered until they had proceeded
some distance. Mr. S. was not hurt, but had the chaise gone
50 yards further, he would most probably have been killed, as
Vie chaise had to traverse a narrow bank fifteen feet high.
