THE FUNDS.

In the House of Commons, last night, an interesting as
well as serious discussion took place between Mr. O'Connell
and Mr. Littleton, in respect to the Irish Coercion Bill, which
has rather amused our city speculators, who suppose that affair
will end in smoke.

Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 92- i ;
Spanish and Portuguese Stocks are heavy—the former at 49,
and the latter at 82i.

Ministers are determined to lay out next quarter five hun-
dred thousand pounds.
We do not as yet hear of any arrivals from Portugal, although
hourly expected.

of the morning, since which they have taken an unexpected
start. Consols, which were 92i, have improved to 9* at
present they are 93.

guese, done at 821, improved to 83k, are now 833.

The fete at Apsley House, given by the Duke of
Wellington, on Wednesday night, will long be remembered
in the annals of fashion for its matchless magnificence and
taste. All the splendid apartments were thrown open at the
hour of ten, having been previously illuminated by chandeliers
and Roman lamps in a style of peculiar brilliancy. The visi-
tants began to arrive at eleven o'clock, and were received by
the Noble Host at the foot of the great staircase. After visit-
ing the five saloons, and admiring the peculiar grandeur of the
scene, the company went into the picture gallery, which com-
mands an uninterrupted view over Hyde Park to the Gardens
at Kensington. Therein dancing commenced at midnight,
which was kept up with great spirit till five in the morning.
The supper was laid in the banquetting-hall, called the
Waterloo-room, on side tables decorated with gold and silver
plate of the most gorgeous description, in which were included
the flaggons, cups, and salvers presented by our late Sovereign
George IV. The viands and wines were excellent. The
guests did honour to the feast, for, from the hour of one until
the party broke up, the refreshment-rooms were never, even
for a moment, deserted. A very numerous body of the police
attended, and preserved order. The gates of the Park were
thrown open during the night for the reception of carriages.
The company mustered above seven hundred persons.

EMIGRATION.-On Wednesday afternoon the
President, American line of packet ship, left the Katherine's
Docks with upwards of 130, emigrants for New York. A
great number of the passengers via the President, however,
intend to settle in the Canadas.

TILE LINEN TRADE.---The great cause, we are
told, of the rapid increase of the trade of Dundee, has been
the facility of employing every person who enters the town,
and willing to work at it. In Leith, Kirkaldy, and other
places, manufacturers give employment to their weavers at
those times only when they have orders ; but, in Dundee,
manufacturers have been in the practice of keeping on their
men at all times, and sending off, on speculation, their super-
fluous produce to foreign countries, where markets for it are
likely to be found. The manufacturers say that the present
diminished supply of cloth will have no effect in raising prices,
but the contrary ; as the export trade will be abandoned, and
so greater quantities of goods will remain at home than will be
required to meet the demand.—Dundee Chronicle.
FLowEßs.—Put but a rose, or a lily, or a violet,
on your table, and you and Lord Bacon have a custom in coin-
mon ; for that great and wise man was in the habit of having
the flowers in season set upon his table—morning, we believe,
noon, and night—that is to say, at all his meals ; for dinner,
in his time, was taken at noon ; and why should he not have
flowers at all hiss meals, seeing that they were growing all
day ? Now here is a fashion that shall last you for ever, if
you please, never changing with silks, and velveis, and silver
forks, nor dependent upon the caprice of some fine gentleman
or lady, who have nothing but caprice and change to give
them importance and a sensation. Does any reader misgive
himself, and fancy that to help himself to such comforts as
these would be ‘4 trifling ?" If this were trifling, then was
Bacon a trifler, then was the great Conde a trifler, and the
old Republican Ludlow, and all the great and
good spirits that
have loved flowers, and Milton's Adam himself—nay, Heaven
itself, for Heaven made these harmless elegancies, and blessed
them with the universal good-will of the wise and innocent.
The same mighty energy which whirls the earth round the
sun, and crashes the heavens with thunderbolts, produces the
lilies of the valley, and the gentle dew-drops that keep them
fair,.-London Journal.
