THE FUNDS.

The victory obtained by Don Pedro's squadron has caused
great exultation in the City, particularly amongst those who are
in favour of Donna Maria, who expect that, by this time,
a revolution has taken place at Lisbon. The opposite
party say that while the clergy still remain with Don Miguel,
his cause is not wholly lost, and he will still make an obstinate
resistance, and come down with his army to Lisbon. At all
events, Admiral Napier has gained great applause in the city
for his heroic attack on Don Miguel's fleet.

We hear that the active agents of Don Miguel, for enlisting
seamen, have been counteracted by the agents of Don Pedro,
who have brought a number of them over to the cause of Don
Pedro, after they had received Don Miguel's bounty.

Consols, which left off on Saturday at 89 % for the Account,
opened at 89 14 , but soon after reached 90 for the Account,
owing to a report from the West end of the town that the To-
ries and Whigs have come to some sort of accommodation
previous to the grand battle which was to have been fought
on next Wednesday, and that the Irish Church Reform Bill
will go to a Committee.

Consols at present may be quoted 89 % .
In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Scrip, which left off on
Saturday, at I% to discount, opened this morning at par,
and afterwards was done at to % premium ; after which
they were again done at par. .

In other Foreign Securities little doing. We do not hear
that any private letters have been received from Oporto.
We hear that the Cholera is very bad at Rotterdam.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The whole of the conversation in the City relates to the
capture of Don Miguel's fleet, and the great bravery of Admiral
Napier ; and it is expected that the next accounts from Lis.
bon and Oporto will be of the greatest importance.

We hear again that the Irish Church Bill will go to a Com-
mittee, as Lord Lyndhurst and the Lord Chancellor were to.
gether yesterday for three hours, as well as several letters
having passed between the Duke of Wellington and Earl Grey
on the subject.

Consols may be quoted at present 89 % for the account.
In the Foreign Market little doing except in Portuguese
Scrip, which is at par to U premium.
THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for the Account 89 %.

The Whipper-in of the Old Hacks in the
unreformed Parliament has transferred his services to a
set of noodles and doodles in another place. During the
last week his activity has been exemplary—especially on
Tuesday last, when in the evening, in the avenues leading
to a certain House, he exhibited the ferocity of a negro-
driver. This industrious, resolute, thick and thin Hiber-
nian, was materially assisted in his labours by a Gallant
and ambitious Marquis, a candidate for place and pension
(which his Lordship wants) under a Tory Admini3tration.

Last week a meeting of the creditors of a
Noble Marquis, a member of the Royal household, was
held for the purpose of receiving a report from the trustees
to whom his Lordship had assigned his Irish estates to be
sold for the benefit of his creditors. HOWARD and GIBBS
bad, for several years, raised considerable sums of money
for his Lordship on the securi'y of annuities chargeable
on his Irish estates. On their bankruptcy it was dis-
covered that the estates were insufficient to discharge the
annuities; and his Lordship, some time since, assigned
them and some other property to be sold and applied in
payment of the original purchase-money. The report
stated that the trustees had sold the Irish estates for
47,0001, from which they could immediately make a di-
vinend of 6s. Bd. in the pound ; and that from the other
property they expected shortly to make a further dividend.
The report was received with the highest satisfaction ; and
the honourable conduct of the Noble Marquis and his trus-
tees, was highly applauded.

On Saturday, an inquest was held at the
William the Fourth, Kensall-green, on the body of a man
named JOHN HEDGER, aged 62. 'lle deceased was in
the service of Messrs. G. and H. HODSTON, farmers, of
Kensall-green, an i bore an unexceptionable character up
to a few days since, when a labourer charged him with
having committed a shocking offence in a 6,1 d. The
accusation was made at a public-house, and the circum-
stance becoming the subject of conversation among the
neighbours, the company of the deceased was shunned by
every one. On his toaster speaking to him on Wednesday
morning, he said something might have occurred, but not
to the extent spoken of. He shortly after went out, and
never returned. His body was discovered in a few hours
in a pond. Verdict--" Found drowned."
