THE FUNDS.

We have no arrivals as yet of the least consequence. The
estafette from Paris brings the Rentes somewhat higher, which
has had a little effect in improving the Funds this morning,
as t hey left off yesterday, in a declining state, at 88?{, and
opeised at n to and went up to 87 %, at which price
they are at present.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing at present.
HALF PAST ONE.

The Funds which were in the early part of the morning very
heavy have somewhat improved, from 8714 % to 87% is for the
Ac,,ount. Owing to more favourable information being re-
cei Fed from the East, as well as from Holland, all business
api.ears to be at a stand in the city.

In the Foreigh Market Spanish Bonds are better, as they
have improved 1 j per Cent. at Paris.

Methodists o` Gilli• gh m, Filandford, Stormins.er, the
borough :aid town of Shtftsbury, a d other p 1 ices, for the
i iirneoiate abolition of Slavery. He would only make the
single observation, that the su,,ject hart ben fully before
the public for the last 10 yews; and yet the many order.
of Council, and other determinations entered in,o, had
been either aba, cloned or most inefficiently applied.—
(Hear, hear.) The time was surely now arrived whe❑
it had become absolutely necessary for the Government
to rake some derisive steps in this most important matter.
Mr. C. FERGUSSON presented a petition from
Teregal, complain ng of church p tnonage in Sco.land.
He trusted that the plan which his Maj sty's 111iMsters

eot he c uld uot ~upp.irt it.
