THE FUNDS.

The estafette letter which we received from Paris this
morning, dated half-past four o'clock, brings the French
Rentes higher than what is already published :—Three
per Cents., 721. 90c. to 73f. ; Five per Cents., 1011. 30c.
to 40c. It also says that there was no news of importance
to communicate from the above capital.
In respect to the arrival of the Lightning steamer
with the King of Holland's answer, we have no official
information as yet o❑ that subject ; therefore we must
wait a few hours before we can communicate the real state
of affairs.

At Lloyd's they have no account of the arrival of the
above vessel ; and a letter from Antwerp states that the
Scheidt is strictly closed, and no vessel is permitted to go
up or down.
Report states that the answer of the King of Holland,
received by the Lightning. is of a favourable complexion ;
and that, although he «•ill not accept of the entire Con-
vention, he refers his differences to the King of Prussia.
There has been some animation in the Consul Market
this morning. Consols, which left off yesterday at 876
for the account, opener! at S7=;, and, owing to a percha•e
of 260,0001. Consols, they went up to SS to k, supposed
to he for the Scotch Banks ; at present they are 87i to SS.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing. The Dutch
Stock comes l 4 per cent. higher.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Up to the present hour we cannot obtain any official
information in re.pect to the answer of the King of Hol-
land. Various are the reports en the subject. It is
even by some doubted whether the Lightning steamer has
arrived.

CORSO'S P.i e not s,s good as in the early part of the morn-
ine, whin they were done at 88 to ;at present they are
871 for the Account.
In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock is not so good as in
the earlier part of the day.
In other Foreign Securities little or nothing doing.
THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for the Account, 871.

We understand that the transmission of the
mails to all parts of the kingdom is speedily to be placed
under a new and economical arrangement, by which a
saving in the expense of nearly one-third will accrue. We
hear that mail co Aches of a very light construction, for this
express purpose, are to be drawn by two horses only, but
that they are to travel quite as fast, if not at a more rapid
pace, than heretofore. The colour of the coaches them-
selves, instead of being of a red-brown, as now painted,
will be dark blue, out of respect to the navy. The total
amount of saving we have not heard beyond rumour, but
no doubt it will he very considerable.

On Monday last the Rev. THOMAS JOHN
BATCHELER, Clerk of Bracondale, was licensed to the
perpetual Curacy of Arrninghall, in Norfolk, on the no-
mination of the Dean and Chapter of Norwich.—Norwich
East Anglian.

POWER-LOOM WEAVING.—In the borough
of Stockport there are 10,000 power looms, and each
loom will average 125 yards of cloth per week, making
in the whole 1,250,000 yards, or 710 miles, 400 yards,
weekly. The buildings to contain the above, with the
necessary prep iration for spinning, steam-engines, &C.,
would cost 500,000/. ; and the number f people employed
in the various departments is about 15,000, requiring
1,423 horses' power to work the shove machinery. T. e
quantity of coal for producing this power and beat►ng the
mill* would amount to 22,84431 b. of coal per hour, or 734
tone, 17 cwt. of that article weekly.
