THE FUNDS.-(TI-11S DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
According to letters from the frontiers of Russia, of the
13th inst., it appears that there is very afflicting information
respecting the harvest in that country. The crops of grain
have failed, and are of a bad quality. Instead of exporta-
tions, they are going to import grain from foreign countries
to fill the granaries, which are entirely empty. This has
caused great anxiety to the Russian Government, and it is
expected that an order will be issued preventing, for several
years, the exportation of corn.
At the last Leipsic fair there were a great number of the
curious and lookers-on, but few buyers ; still it cannot be
reckoned one of the worst of fairs. Silks were purchased
to a considerable amount.
TINg merchants of Elberfeld made important purchases in
cloth, particularly of an inferior quality, at low prices.
There was a complaint of the high prices of Merinos, and
the Thibets of Saxony, and little was done in ordinary
cottons. The manufacturers of England look upon this
fair as the worst they have experienced for some time past.
Our arrivals this morning are of a very meagre descrip-
tion, only the French and Ostend mails, with the express
from Paris, which does not bring any news of consequence.
No later official documents have been received than the
18th inst. from Madrid, but it is stated in the French jour-
nals, that a commercial courier arrived at Paris, from
Madrid, of the 21st inst., at which period nothing of im-
portance had taken place.

THE FUNDS.

The disappointment of the Cortes bondholders and
speculators in Spanish, this morning, not having received
an official account from Madrid later than the 18th inst.,
has operated this morning on the above stock, which is
rather heavy at present ; Spanish, which left off yesterday
56i, opened at 57i, since which it receded to 56-i- l ;
Portuguese has improved to 851 6, owing to a general
belief that the Brazilian Government are going to remit to
this country the sum they owe to Portugal to pay the
Portuguese dividends.
Consols have also improved to 91i 3: for the Account.
Spanish has again receded to 56H.
HALF-PAST ONE.

A Dutch Mail has arrived, of the date of the 2Sth inst.
The state of the funds there was heavy. Several sales
were made of Dutch Stock for German Account. The
funds are quoted at 59. 9-16.

The paper of the 27th inst. states that the Dutch
Government has sent a new verbal notice to the three
Northern Powers on the Belgian question, by which she
endeavours to prove she has done all in her power to bring
it to a conclusion, and now calls on the three Northern
Powers to use their endeavours to get the conferences
reopened in London.

On the arrival of an express from Madrid, various reports
were put into circulation, but as they have not been verified
we will not report them. Still they had the effect of de-
pressing the Spanish market. Spanish had reached 57+,
fell to 56+ ; since which it has improved again to 561 8.
Portuguese maintains it price, 85 86. Consols are also
firm at 918 for the account.
Another Dutch mail has just arrived one day later than
our former advices : funds the same—little doing in them.
THREE 0' CL 0 CK.
Consols are at present 918 to for the Account.

The resignation of the Right Hon. Edward Ellice
is spoken of at the Clubs, founded, we presume, upon a ru-
mour that has long existed of his anxiety to resign on the
score of health, and a desire to reside in a warmer climate.—
