THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.
We have no arrivals this morning; not even a ship letter has
been received.

THE FUNDS.

A great bustle took place late yesterday afternoon on 'Change,
and at the Stock Exchange, caused by a letter from Falmouth,
dated eleven o'clock Sunday morning, which appeared in an
evening paper, stating the arrival there of the Pikc from
Lisbon, bringing much more cheering accounts of the con-
stitutional cause, also that an engagement had taken place on
Sunday afternoon before Santarem, in which the Miguelites
were completely defeated.

In the first place we must remark, that we have no
authentic accounts as yet of her arrival, although it was
generally reported on 'Change that the Pike had arrived;
therefore it is evident that the above evening paper must
have been hoaxed or imposed upon. The moment the paper
was perused at the North and South American Coffee-house by
a member of the Stock Exchange, he immediately proceeded
to the house, and gave it as his opinion that it was an imposi-
tion on that paper; and all the members agreed to close their
books, and do no business until the truth of this letter was
ascertained.

Secondly, we must caution the public, that of late the order
of the day in the City and Stock Exchange is gambling to a
great extent in Portuguese and Spanish Bonds, and various
manoeuvres are resorted to, according to the interest of the spe-
culating parties in the above stocks, to deceive the public.
Great sensation is experienced this morning, particularly by
those who have been made dupes by this imposition on the
said evening paper, and we do not believe that the public has
experienced any severe losses, owing to its being detected at an
early period. .

. .
French Papers, received this morning by express, do not
contain any news of importance, foreign or domestic. It ap-
pears that the Queen Regent of Spain has conferred the order
of the Golden Fleece on his Majesty the King of Great Britain
and the King of the French. _ _ _

By accounts from Bayonne, it also appears that Don Carlos,
in his turn, has been conferring decorations on the Archbishop
of Toledo.

A Carlist movement is hourly expected in Valencia, and
discontent prevails in Catalonia.

The general topic of conversation on 'Change entirely re-
lates to the imposition practised upon an evening paper respecting
the news from Portugal received by the Pike. We understand
that a regular express from Falmouth, with a parcel, came to
the office, with a letter in the handwriting of their cor-
respondent ; but, up to the present time, we do not hear of
any fresh arrivals.
We have neither reports nor political news.
Consols are not so good as in the early part of the morning,
when they were 91 34 ; at present they may be quoted 91 %
sellers, with little doing. Spanish, 29i ; Portuguese, 64 X

At the Duke of Sussex's late conversazione,
at Kensington Palace, the attraction of the evening was a
splendid model of the great pyramid of Cheops, composed
of 43,000 pieces of cock, and a vertical section of the
pyramid, from which it appears that the pyramid was not
only built upon, but round a rock, which, it is stated,
rises in the centre of the pyramid 130 feet, on the apex of
which is situated what is called the Queen's Chamber.
The pyramid was originally covered with plaster or mortar,
which made the surface even, and thus rendered the ascent
so difficult as to be accounted by the ancients a great feat :
this plaster having now fallen off, the ascent is easy.

The parishioners of Putney and Roehampton
have presented their late minister, the Rev. Henry St.
♦ndrew St. John, M.A., with a handsome salver and
epergne, in testimony of their respect and esteem, and in
grateful acknowledgment of the faithful discharge of his
ministerial duties during the thirteen years of his residence
amongst them. This circumstance is equally gratifying as
well to the inhabitants of Putney and Roehampton as to
their late incumbent.
