THE FUNDS.

The express from Paris furnishes us with a telegraphic de-
spatch from Bayonne, stating that Don Carlos was, on the
23d, at Lorainzar. On the 24th a feeble attack was made on
Elisondo, without success ; and Rodil was going to fortify
Lumbia, and return to the Bastan.
The accounts from Madrid are of the 20th inst., when the
Cortes were still debating on the finances.
We had a very general report that the City of Edinburgh
steamer had brought the news of the death of Don Pedro, but
up to the present hour it requires confirmation.
Consols are 904 for the Account ; little doing. Spanish
53 ; Portuguese 81i.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We hear that the City of Edinburgh steamer was off Oporto
on the 22d instant, when a telegraph communication was re-
ceived there from Lisbon with the death of Don Pedro.

We have an arrival from Bombay of the 10th of June,
which does not bring any news of importance.
Great anxiety is expressed in the City for further informa-
tion from Lisbon and :Madrid ; by the former, to ascertain the
official information respecting the expected event of the death
of Don Pedro ; and, by the latter, the final result of the de-
bates in the Cortes on the financial question.
Consols have been, during the morning, at 9054 for the
Account, with little doing ; Spanish Stock, 531; Portuguese
Stock, 81 to 1.
Baron de Rothschild and his Lady have returned from Paris.

Sir Charles Christopher Pepys was sworn in Master
of the Rolls this morning, at the Lord Chancellor's house in
Stanhope-street.

We understand that Sir Charles Pepys, the present
Solicitor-General, will succeed Sir John Leach as Master of
the Rolls. It is an appointment which will give equal satis-
faction to the profession and to the public. We need scarcely
add, that Sir Charles Pepys has been for years in the very first
practice at the Chancery Bar, and has throughout life been
distinguished as the staunch and consistent supporter of liberal
principles. He is the second son of the late Sir William
Weller Pepys, Bart., who was for many years Master in
Chancery, and was well known in the literary circles of his
day ; and is also the nephew of the late Sir Lucas Pepys,
Bart., the celebrated physician. We have not heard the name
of the new Solicitor-General, nor do we believe that the ap-
pointment has been determined on.— Observer.
CHURCH RATE REFUSED AT HALSTED,ESSEX.
—A vestry meeting was convened at Halsted, on the 24th in-
stant, to grant a church-rate. The churchwardens applied
for a rate of 4d. in the pound. An amendment was moved
by Isaac Sewell, Esq., seconded by Mr. Smith (of the
Society of Friends), ad supported by Samuel Courtauld,
Esq., that the consideration of a church-rate should be post-
poned twelve months. On a show of hands, the Chairman
(the Rev. Dr. Adams, vicar) declared the amendment car-
ried. A poll was demanded by the churchwardens. A two
days' poll was announced, at the conclusion of which the Rev.
Chairman declared the numbers to be—For the amendment,
111 ; for the rate, 77 : majority against a rate, 34.
DUBLIN POLICE.—A gentleman residing in Cam-
den-street complained of an assault which had been committed
upon himself and his family. He stated that a person with
whom he had been previously acquainted broke into his apart-
ments, and, having locked the door inside, beat himself, his
wife, and his sister-in-law. Mr. Gabbett--Was there any
cause for this outrage ? Complainant--Yes, I believe he's in
love with my sister-in-law. Mr. Gabbett--Well, that's rather
an odd method of making love ; you had better serve him with
a summons.
