THE FUNDS.

By the express from Paris this morning we have an
accountof a great panic there among the speculators in the
French and Foreign Funds. The Rentes have receded 2:1-
p-r cent.-71t. 60r. Spanish Stocks have also consider-
ably lowered. This was the cause of a number
of reports in circulation on the 'Change at Paris;
but nothing of an official nature had transpired when the
courier left the capital, although it was known that the
Government had received accounts from Madrid, of the
3d inst., which were not made public. We have a general
report that Bilboa has hoisted the standard of Don C alos,
and declired in his favour. It is also stated that several
other provinces are pursuing the same course, but all is
on dit at present, and we must wait for a direct arrival
from Spain and Portugal, to ascertain the real state of
affairs, before we can form an opinion on the subject.
In consequence of the great fall in the French Funds,
Consuls which left off yesterday at f37ii for the Account,
receded to 87k, since which, they have been done at 874.
The Foreign Funds have been but little aff-cted ; Por-
tuguese Scrip 2li premium; Spanish 22i to 23i.

HALF•PAST ONE.
No arrivals as yet from Portugal, although expected
every hour.
We understand that letters have been received from
Bilboa of the 25th, confirming that commotions have
taken place there in favour of Don Carlos. They origi-
nated at some of the coffee-hou‘es there, by several
young persons shouting " Long live Don Carlos !" when
they were immediately joined by the populace of the town.
Consols look more healthy than in the early part of the
morning, when they were 87%. At present they may
be quoted 871. buyers for tr,e Account. To-morrow
being settling day in Consols, a great deal is doing in
arranging their differences.

The Foreign Market continues steady. Portuguese

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS--(THIS DAY.

This morning the General Quarter Sessions for the City
and Liberties of Westminster c ,mm-need before FRANCIS
Cows?, Esq.. and 4 Bench of Mazistrates.

George Whitby, a person of resp-stable appearance,
was indicted fur assaulting Richard Hythan.
The prosecutor, who was a labouring man, stated that
on the loth of August he and a wooden-legged man,
named Self, were parading St. James's.square, with
hoards fastened to their persons before and behind, on
which were placards (one of which he produced), cau-
tioning the public avtinst going into the House No. 6,
St. James's-square, which was designated a gambling.
house. The defendant catnp out of the house, and going lie-
hind Self, cracked one of the boards and struck Self. He
then, without speaking a word, came up to the witness.
served his boards the same way, and struck him a blow in
the face. A policeman named May
coming past, Self
desired him to take the defendant to the station• house ; but
he refused, and the defendant escaped. The prosecutor
added that the house was now shut up, and the defendant
now lived at another gambling-house in Dover-street.
The CHAIRMAN asked why some other means were
not adopted than parading about with placards ?
The prosecutor said he and Self were paid 2s. a day
by a gentleman named Fleming, who had lost a great deal
of money in the house to carry the placards about near the
house. As soon as this prosecution was over, he under-
stood the defendant's emp!oyers meant to allow Fleming a
weekly sum.—(A laugh.)
Cross-eximined by Mr. BODKIN—Was never before
eiutioned against parading there with the boards. That
day was the first of his employment. The placard he now
produced was transparent, and intended for use at night.
—(A laugh.)
Self, the companion of the prosecutor, corroborated his
testimony.
Cross.examined—Was in receipt of a pension for the
loss of his leg while in the army. 'Was never charged
with body-snatching, but was once charged with other
things. After some time, he admitted he teas once taken
into custody on a charge of body-snatching, and was tried
at Maidstone for it.

Mr. Bonxix addressed the Jury, and said the two
witnesses had thern,elves been guilty of a nuisance,
and having heen repeatedly cautioned to abate it,
without tffect, it was comp-tent to any of the persons
annoyed by it to remove them. That was all the defea-
dant had done, and he was justified in so doing.
The Le4rned Counsel called witnesses, who swore that
the prosecutor was requested to go away, and refused, and
that all the defendant did was to break one of the boards.
They ahostated that the two men were very abusive ; that no
blows were struck, and that so far from the defendant now
living at a gaming.house in Lhwer-street, he was in the
service of a gentleman of title near Lichfield, from whence
be had come to take his trial to-day.
The Jury found a verdict of Not Guilty.

MIDDLESEX INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS
(THIS DAY )

(Before B. Rom', Eqq., and a Bench of County
Magistrate,..)

Thomas Brown and Ann Brown, brother and sister,
who were very fashionably attired, were indicted for
assaulting Jane Blood, on the 9th of January last.
From the statement of the prosecutrix, who gave her
evidence under great excitement, it appeared that o❑ the
day in question she was in the service of the father and
mother of the defendants, who kept the City of Quebec
public-house, Wapping-wal. The defendant Thom is
Brown, who was the mate of a merchant ship just re-
turned from sea, hid endeavoured to take indiscreet liber-
ties with the prosecutrix. On the morning in question the
defendants, the mother being out and the father ill up stairs,
charged the prosecutrix with having a comb in her hair
which belonged to the female defendant, threatened to
knock her brains out with a poker, and struck her three
times on the head. The course they had since pursued
towards her had deprived her of a situation till very
lately. She had beers obliged to pledge every thing she
had to support herself; and but for the assistance of a
female friend, who had supported her for several months,
she must have died of starvation. She had summoned
several witnesses to prove the assault, but they had not
made their appearmce, because she was unable to pay
their expenses.
Mr. Craaxsory, for the defendants, cross examined the
prosecutrix, who admitted that, on the case going before
Mr. Ballantyne, lie dismissed the charge against the female
prisoner ; and that on the day the assault took place, she
took from the chimney a pewter pot ; what she intended
to do with it the Learned Cuunsel eould leave the Jury
to judge. Ti;e Learned Counsel then addressed the Jury
on behalf of the defendants, commenting upon the im-
probability of the story of the prosecutrix, and the ap•
pearaoce and excellent demeanour of the defendants.

The CHAIRMAN summed up upon every point in fa-
vour of the prosecutrix, observing that it was natural
-he should fe.l greatly excited. A 4 to the appearance of
the defend ,nis, he would only sly, that their temper or
disposition did not display itself under a fashionable coat
or a silk bonnet.

The Jury immedia'ely found both the defendants
Guilty, sod
The CHAIRMAN sentenced them to pay a fine of 101.
each, with liberty to speak to the prosecutrix.
The rnsle defendant instantly paid 101., half the fine,
which was as quickly handed over to the prosecutrix.
The CHAIRMAN, just as the defendants were about
leaving the bar, said that he had been informed
that they had stated if they had been aware that paying
tie whole fine would have deprived the prosecutrix of
any part of it, he mould have done so.
11r. CLARLSoN—Yee, Sir, and I have further to state,
that they are determined to apply to the Secretary of State.
The CHAIRMAN—Very well. 1 can only state that if
the whole title had been paid I should have considered it
my duty to have directed the
prosecutrix
to apply to the
S,etary of State.
