THE FUNDS,

We have no arrivals this morning of the least importance.
Not a single ship letter has arrived. The Express from
Paris is of little interest. The Journals chiefly contain ob-
servations on the new Ministers, nhich are principally o►
the Napoleon school, to satisfy the lower order of the
French nation.

It was reported at Bayonne that four Carlist battalions
had been routed by the Queen's troops, with the loss of
254 killed, 400 wounded, and 300 prisoners. This re-

quires confirmation.

Consols opened at the price they left ort, 911 a for

Account:

This is settling day in the Foreign market, and the Ac•
count is going off well.

Spanish Stock is not so good as yesterday, when it left
off 57 to ;at present it is 561 1 ; Portuguese 861 871
HALF-PAST. ONE.

Two expresses have arrived this morning from Madrid,
by which some private letters have been received to the
7th inst., which state that the following proposals have been
made to the Chamber of the Procuradores :—" That all
the foreign debt is to be acknowledged, two-thirds to be
active, and one-third passive, with an exception of the
Cortes Bonds, the one-third passive to be made active,
commencing in 1835, in ten years. The above proposals
were discussing when the express left Madrid.
The Madrid Gazette contains the persons who are to
bid for the Loan ; the rate of exchange it is to be taken
at ; also in bars of gold or silver.
In consequence of the two expresses from Madrid, with
reports of a favourable nature to the Cortes Bondholders,
Spanish improved from 568 8 to 57, but az nothing deci-
sive had taken place, the Spanish Stock continues at 56i
to 57. Portuguese 86i to 87.

Consols have been the whole of the wonting at 91i
for the Account, with little doing.

The settling of the Foxeign Accounts is still going off

well.

AN IRISH CHARACTER:—A Mrs. Davey, giving
evidence to character in the case of a woman charged with
theft, said she was " a decent, honest, drunken creature."—

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, WEDNESDAY,
Nov. 12.—We continue to have an exceedingly steady mar-
ket for cotton, with a prospect of further improvement in prices.
The sales to-day are about 3,000 bags, chiefly American de-
scriptions, with 100 Surats, at 7d. to 70.; and a few bales of
Maranhams at 7d. to 71d. per lb.

Some labourers, while lately digging up the roots
of some trees that had been felled in the forest of Marigny,
near Beaugency, in the Loir-et- Cher, discovered several stone
pots, containing a considerable quantity of coins, both gold
and silver, of the several Kings of Frauve, from Louis XI.
to Louis XVIII. inclusive.— Galignani.

An eel of the enormous weight of 501bs. was lately
caught in the Scheldt.
The Continental journals are so 'rich in " Great
Fires,", that the critical think a " pretty considerable number"
of our " accident makers" must have turned tourists.
LADY HESTER STANITOPE.—The latest accounts
of this eccentric Lady, half sister to Earl Stanhope and niece
to the Earl of Chatham, represent her as spoken of in terms of
admiration. She has a repugnance to European habits and
manners, but is delighted at affording the rites of hospitality
to Europeans who visit her, it being understood that from the
moment of their arrival they are to consider themselves as at
home, where all the servants are at their command without
the necessity of their communicating with the hostess. All
her Ladyship's servants are oriental, and the entire establish-
ment is eastern, with an intermixture of European comfort.
She is very popular with the peasantry, and has great in-
fluence with all the Chiefs. Her Ladyship has for the last
year spent much of her time in prepariiz -the reminiscences
of her life.
