THE FUNDS.

The prevailing opinion is, that Messrs. Rothschild at
Paris, with the bankers in the above capital, will take the
French loan of 18,000,0001. Should this take place
we have no doubt that part of it will find its way into this
country, and in all probability will have the effect of de-
pressing the British funds; but the above loan will not be
contracted it present, as the French Minister of Finance
has a sufficient supply to go on with for soma time to come.

MORE SACRILEGE —A distinguished corres-
pondent sends us the following; important communication,
to which we wish to draw the especial attention of our
readers t--" We regret to say that, during the last week,
two new attempts at sacrilegious robbery have been made
in the central district. One was at Coughton, which was
successful, the robbers having broken open
the chapel, and
place the sacrilege in
carried off several articles of Plate. The other was at the
blasphemous lampoon published in
our last. The villains entered through the same narrow win-
dew in the porch, breaking . wall, and removing the

the robbers were
when one of the nuns went into the
chapel, to prepare for matins. T h

one of them left his hat behind him, which, we trust, may

lead to their detection. We cannot but suggest the pro-
