THE FUNDS.

The arrival of the new Dutch Ambassador has not as yet had
any effect on the Funds, but in Dutch and Belgian Stocks some
great purchases were made late in the afternoon of yesterday,
no doubt in consequence of its being known that he had arrived
at Margate.

Consols opened at the price they left off, 88 for Account,
went up to 88 %, at which price they are at present.
In the Foreign Market a good deal is doing in Dutch and
Belgian Stocks. We hear that the combined squadron hes
sailed from the Downs for the Dutch coast.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The Dutch steamer has arrived, which brings the Dutch
Funds higher, 461, an improvement of about 5.16 As yet
we do not hear of any political news by her, but great hopes are
entertained in the City, that the new Dutch Envoy has brought
with him full powers to bring the affairs to an amicable conclu.
sion, although it appears rather extraordinary that on th•
arrival of a negotiator our squadron should sail for the coast
of Holland.

The funds are rather animated. Consols, which were 8814 %
for the account, have improved to gB% %, with a stiff market.
No further information from Portugal, which is very anxiouly
sought after.

In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock has been done at 47 S 14i .
Belgian Stock is not so good as yesterday.

THREE O'CLOCK.

Consols for the Account 88 % %.

Sir JAMES ALLAN PARK is now going his
104th circuit.

The whole of the basement story of the new
City Club-house, building on the site of the Old South-
See-house, in Broad.street, is completed, and in a short
time the elevation itself will be visible in the street.

HORRID MURDER NEAR HECKINGTON.—
I It is our painful duty to record one of the most inhuman
and daring murders that has been committed in this county
for some time, which happened about a mile and a half
this side the village of Heckington, on Saturday last, in
the broad face of day. The name of the unfortunate man
is WILLIAM BURRANKS, a well-known character in his
capacity of a collector of hare-skius, rags, &c. &c. ; and it
appesra from what we can clllect that he went into a
beer-shop in Heckington about three o'clock in the after-
noon of Saturday last, where a man named We. TAILOR
and others were drinking, and unfortunately spoke too
freely of some money, to the amount of about IV., which
he said he had in his pocket. After spending about an
hour at the beer-shop he left to proceed to Boston,
out when only about a mile and a halt on the road he
was overtaken by TAYLOR, knocked down and most
brutally maltreated, his brains bring literally dashed out.
His pockets were ransacked, and of course all the money
in his possession carried off. In this state the unfortunate
titan was found about 4 o'clock by Captain NiTnyTE and the
Rev. B. BERIDGZ, who immediately gave
the alarm, and
the unfortunate man was conveyed to the public-house at
Heckington. An inquest was held on the body on Mon-
lay before C. 11.1AsTrri,
Gent , Coroner, and a verdict of
i
" Wilful i‘lurcl,r" returned against WM 1 AYLOR of
11 ckiogron, who was itomdtately cotntoit.e to Lincoln
Castle, to take his trial at the preseot As,iaes. The
oisoner has since made a full confession.—Bostes
