THE FUNDS.

In the City, we are still in the dark respecting the measures
which will be adopted by the new Tory Administration, and no
doubt this uncertainty will continue until after the arrival of Sir
Robert Peel, who is looked for in the course of next week, and all
reports must be looked upon at present as stock-jobbing manceuvres.
Consols opened at the price they left off, 91i ; Spanish 5411 ;
Portuguese 8.5 a 4.
This is settling-day in the Foreign Market. Although money is
very scarce, the Account appears to be going off easy. We do not,
as yet, hear of any defaulters. Generally, on settling-days, reports
are in circulation, and it is stated, that two expresses have arrived
from Madrid, but as yet we cannot trace their foundation.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We have endeavoured to trace the general report of the two
expresses from Madrid this morning, but to the present hour our
search has been in vain. All we know to a certainty is that a letter
has been received from Madrid of the 19th inst., which states that
the Spanish funds there have improved, particularly the 4 per
Cents., which were 60. There was every expectation that the Spa-
nish loan would be taken. Confidence had been restored by the
great weight which the Spanish Ministry had over the Chamber of
the Procuradores, as well as by favourable accounts received from
their army in the North, under Qeneral Mina.
The above information has had the effect to improve the Spanish
and Portuguese securities here. Spanish may be quoted 544 ;
Portuguese, 854 $.
Consols have continued steady the whole of the morning at 911
for money, and 91% 1,4 for the account. The chief operations are
confined to the Foreign Market ; and the speculators in Spanish
are in daily expectation of an express, with the result of the taking
of the Spanish Loan at Madrid.
The Foreign Account continues to go off well. Exchequer
Bills have receded from 33-9 to 35.

The greatest regret and alarm are manifested at
Bagshot, by all classes, at the serious indisposition of his
Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester. Mr. R. Heynes,
his surgeon-apothecary, has been in attendance this last fortnight.
Expresses were sent on Wednesday night to Sir Henry Hal-
ford and Dr. Ferguson, of Windsor ; another was sent yester-
day morning to her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchesses of Glou-
cester, with their usual consideration for the comfort of the
poor of this parish, a few weeks ago regaled above 200 chil-
dren belonging to the charity schools, with joints of roast beef
and mutton, pudding, and beer. The health of their High-
nesses was given after dinner, with cheers, which were hear-
tily responded to by the numerous persons in attendance. The
Duke and Duchess appeared to take a lively interest in the
scene. His Highness was observed to look very ill, and we
regret his indisposition has gradually increased since. After
dinner every variety of rustic sports was afforded for the
amusement of the .children. Colonel Currey, with his usual
affability and kindness, presented each of the visiters with
prizes, and used every praiseworthy action to animate and en-
liven the scene.

Mr. Richard Jackson, of Ross, in Herefordshire,
was this week admitted an attorney of his Majesty's Court of
Exchequer, and also an attorney of his Majesty's Bankruptcy
Court of Review.
An inquest was held on Wednesday, before Mr.
Baker, the coroner, at the sign of the Panther, Hope Town,
Bethnal-green, on the body of Elizabeth Collyer, aged 13,
who was frightened to death by some boys on Thursday. Ro-
bert Houghton, a weaver, living in Thorold-square, stated that
be was looking out of the window of his house, and saw four
lads " larking" with a basket such as hawkers carry caps and
bonnets in. It was made of wicker, lined with oil-skin. The
deceased came by, and two lads, named Jepp and Platt, took
the basket away from another boy named Sadd, and put it
suddenly upon the deceased's head. They did not pull her
about. She threw the basket off her head, and walked away.
She did not appear hurt or frightened then, but looked very
red in the face. It appeared, from the evidence of the father
of the deceased, and the medical gentleman who attended her,
that on returning home she complained of a pain in the head;
inflammation of the brain ensued. She lingered until Monday
morning, and during her illness frequently desired the persons
about her "to take the big basket off her head." A few days
before her death she became insensible. The father acquitted
the lads of all evil intention, and stated that one of them, Jebb,
had manifested great sorrow at the result. The Jury returned
a verdict of " Natural death," and, at their request, the co-
roner sent for the lads, and reprimanded them for the wanton
trick which had evidently produced so fatal 4 result.—New-
castle Chronicle,
