THE FUNDS.

By the express from Paris, the prices of the Rentes come
higher, 76-10, as well as the Spanish 42k; and had it not been
for an erroneous report having been put in circulation relative
to the Spanish Bonds deposited by Messrs. Haldimand, in
the Bank of England, and delivered over to Mr. Ricardo, to
the amount of 701,4201., Spanish Stock would have consider-
ably improved this morning. We understand the following to
be the correct version of the transaction : —These Bonds were
en undeposited balance of the loans of 1821 and 1822, and are
new handed over to Messrs. Ricardo, as part security for the
money advanced to Messrs. Ardouin, as alluded to by the Fi-
nance Minister of Spain, in the expose to the Cortes of the
7th of August last ; consequently, this transfer by no means
implies power of sale.
Spanish Stock which left off 49H yesterday, opened at 494-
to I. Soon after, owing to a report that the 701,420/. Spanish
Bonds would be brought to Market, Spanish fell to 49k, since
which it may be quoted 493 k ; Portuguese 82k.
Consols which left off at 90k, are at present 90ii for the
Account, with little doing.
HALF-PAST ONE.

Letters are in town this morning from Bilboa of the 28th,
which confirm the desertion of the army of Don Casks ; they
also state that the civil war is drawing to a close.
The foreign as well as the British funds are not so good as
in the early part of the morning. Consols, which reached 90/
for the Account, are at present 901 1. In the Spanish market
the idea still prevails that the 701.420 Spanish bonds de-
livered to Mr. Ricardo will soon be thrown on the market,
which causes Spanish to be rather heavy-40i Portuguese
had receded from 821 to 81i ; at present may be quoted 81i
to 821.

THE MARKETS—(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are short, and the
return of Flour scanty. The trade for superfine Wheat was firm
this morning, and Monday's terms are fully supported for such,
but other descriptions were very difficult to quit. Barley remains
as last noted. Beans and Pease unvaried. Oats are steady sale,
and last rates are maintained. Flour dull sale, and prices unvaried.

It is understood that, on the 11th instant, Earl
Grey, accompanied by his Countess, is to be at Fleurs Castle,
the residence of the Duke of Roxburghe, where his Grace and
his mother, the Duchess, presently are, and that, on the 13th,
his Lordship is to be at Oxenford Castle, the seat of Sir John
H. Dalrymple, the member for the county. His Lordship
comes from Oxenford Castle to Edinburgh on the 15th, the
day on which the public dinner is to be given. His Lordship
will be received by the requisitionists in open assemblage, at
the front of Douglass Hotel, where he, as well as Earl Fitz-
william and his family have secured apartments.—Edinburgh
Evening Courant.
A gentleman at Wurzburg has had a livery of good
stuff for his female servants ; for working days it is grey, for
Sundays and holydays green, and they must wear it as long as
they are in his service. This is a good hint for the wives of
our citizens, who can scarcely restrain the love of finery and
extravagance of their maid servants.—Bavarian Village
Gazette.
On Saturday last a travelling man came from Boston
to Spalding, and took up his lodging for the night at the
" Rose and Crown," (a public house in Double-street). Im-
mediately after his arrival, he took ill of the cholera, and not-
withstanding medical assistance, died in three hours. He was
buried early on Sunday morning in the dress he had on when
be came to town.—Boston Herald.
SINGULAR FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday
evening a little girl, named Mary Weedon, between five and
six years of age, the daughter of Mr. John Weedon, of Com-
mercial-place, Kentish-town, was running across the parlour
with a bread and butter plate in her hand, when her foot
caught in the carpet, and she was thrown down with consi-
derable force, and the plate broken to pieces. Not making
any effort to get up again, Mrs. Weedon, who was present,
lifted her from the floor, and was horror-struck at seeing her
clothes saturated with blood, which was actually spouting out
from a wound on the right side of the neck. A surgeon was
instantly sent for, but long before any assistance arrived, the
child had ceased to exist. It appears that a pointed fragment
of the plate had perforated her neck to the depth of nearly
two inches, completely dividing the carotid artery. The un-
fortunate child was dead in lass than three minutes.
