THE FUNDS

The only arrivals worth notice this morning are the
Express from Paris and the unfavourable accounts from
Demerara. The express from Paris brings information
from Constantinople of the 2d instant, and advices from
Smyrna of the 26th. The British fleet was still at anchor
off Vourla, and all was tranquil in Syria.
The information from the theatre of war in Spain con-
firms the affair at Paniowo, in which the Carlists lost five
officers and a number of men : in other points of view the
information is of little importance. Letters have been re-
ceived from Madrid of the 18th inst., where they were still
debating on the Report of the Finance Committee.

Spanish stock, which left off yesterday at 531 54, is not
so good this morning, having :opened at 531 ; Portu-
guese 80:1

- 'Consors are the same price as they left off yesterday,
90i i for the Account, with nothing doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The important news from Lisbon has caused some sen-
sation in the City, and it is generally believed that Don
Pedro is dead. The appointment of the new ministry, with
Palmella at their head, gives general satisfaction. In the
early part of the day, when the information transpired, it
had the effect of lowering Portuguese stock to 80, since
which it improved to 81-A ; at present it is 80i -a.
Spanish, 53 -a.
The Consol Market is entirely neglected, and scarce a
bargain has been done. Consols, 90i for Account.

ALARMING FIRE.

• A few minutes before one o'clock this morning an alarm-
ing fire broke out in Orange-court, Castle-street, in a coope-
ragebelonging to Mr. Price.

The superintendents of the nightly watch and the fire
police were prompt in their attendance, the former with a
strong posse of constables and the latter with one of the fire
police engines, which, although it arrived on the ground
within ten minutes after the alarm was given, was not, for
the want of the opposing element, water, set in motion until
nearly a quarter past one. The other engines followed in
quick succession, but were for a considerable time useless.
The roof, together with the extensive side wall of the coope-
rage fell in at 25 minutes past one. Previously to this the
fire assumed a very formidable appearance, and at that time
but very slight hopes were entertained of the probability of
saving the cotton warehouses occupied by Mr. Arnott and
Mr. Robinson, in which were deposited upwards of a thou-
sand bales of cotton. Fortunately, as soon as the fire broke
out, a porter, in the employ of Mr. Arnott, discovered it,
and having the keys, before the fire had made any progress
on them, he directed the attention of the firemen to the
part where some loose cotton lay near the windows, which
was then in a state of ignition. This, of course, prevented
its extension to the other buildings, by which the cooperage
is, or rather was surrounded, for it is now a mass of ruins.
By two o'clock the fire was subdued. At some personal
risk, and with great difficulty, some of the compositors of
the Standard—Orange-court being but a few steps from our
printing-office—rescued a horse from the flames. We never
witnessed a fire which at one time assumed so threatening
an aspect so promptly extinguished.—Liverpool Standard.
