THE FUNDS.

Consols openrd very heavy this morning at 87i for the
account; and at present may be quoted Sit sellers. This
being settling day in the Consols Market, the business
doing appears to he a heavy Bull account with 5-16
contango to carry over their accounts. As yet, all is going
off well. The estafette, from Paris, brings the French
R.ntes lower, which, also, operates on the Market. A
French squadron has arrived off Smyrna, and it appe rs
that the English, French, and Austrian Ambassadors th, re,
did not approve of the Egyptians entering that town. and
struck their respective flags, as we communicated in
our city article last week. The tumult at Frankfort has
been put down for the present. In the Foreign Market
Spanish Bonds are lower.

HALF-PAST ONE.

A'l our endeavours to trace letters from Oporto, by the
Savage, front Lisbon, this morning, have not availed ; and
we do not believe that the merchants have later letters
than the 30th ult., brought by a wine slip, which crossed
the bar. At that date, all was tranquil there.
The Consul account is going off well to the present
hour. The extreme fluctuation during the account has
been about l per cent.
Consols have been during the morning 871- to 4 ; and
for next Account 137 i
_ . .

In the Foreign M:riet nothing: doing of consequence ;
prices much the same as yesterday.
The evacuation of Smyrna is confirmed by the private
letters.

SMALL STAMP RECEIPTS.—Lord AL-
Triortr, in answer to a memorial from the merchants of
Glasgow for the removal of stamp duties on receipts for
small sums in the course of commercial transactions, re-
ceived last week, says--.4' He sincerely :egrets that he
cannot at present return any positive answer to their
request. It is impossible for him to give any promise of
remission of any duties whatever until the close of the
present quarter; but he assures the memorialists that the
fullest consideration shall be given to their request, and
that it will give L.rl ALTHORP sincere pleasure if he shall
be enabled to comply with it at a future time."
On Friday evening week, while the Abbe
was preaching one of his Lent sermons in the metropo-
litan church of Notre Dame, a report of fire-arms
paralyzed the preacher and his auditory. It was found
to have been occasioned by a pistol, which an unfortunate
old min, of 74 years, had discharged at his o,n head,
having chosen that holy place and solemn occasion for his
purpose.—French Paper.
DOVER.—We noticed, a short time since,
that a petition had been presented against the return of
Mr. HALCOMB as one of the representatives for this port,
on the ground of not being duty qualified. In formation
was received here on Sunday that Mr. H. bad not given
the particulars of his qualification within fifteen days
after the presentation of such petition, which expired last
Thursday, conformably to a standing order of the House
of Commons. Should this prove to be the fact, and
there seems hut little, if any, room for doubt, the seat be-•
comes vacated, which, as a matter of course, will be noti-
fied to the House immediately after• the holydays, and a
new writ accordingly moved for. Next Monday is there-
fore looked for with feverish anxiety, and by none more
than the FlALcoms party, and which is natural enough,
when it is borne in mind that Mr. H., not longer than the
22d ult., published a handbill, wherein he stated that he
was possessed of 319 h, secured upon property of ample
value, and which he had twice proved upon oath. The
corporation of this town is, it is understood, the next to
undergo the ordeal of inquiry before the Committee of the
House of Commons.—ltent Herald,

OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
MURDER OF THE BOY PAVIOUR.

As soon as the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr. 1311.0:i
VAUGHAN took their seats on the Bench,
The three persons in custody for the murder of the un
fortunate boy Robert Paviour, viz , Frederick Marshall.
George Evans, and William Taylor, were pl iced at tiu
bar. The first count of the indictment charged them
with assaulting Robert Paviour, and giving him certaii:
wounds and bruises of which he (bed ; the s.cond eoun,
ei,,,rgt.d them with throwing him into the Regent's canal,
and thereby occasioning his death.
The prisoners in a firm tone pleaded Not Guilty.
They were then arraigned upon tI a coroner's inquisi
ti ,n, and pleaded Not Guilty.
The prisoner Marshall applied on his own behalf and
that of his fellow prisoners, that their trial might be pus:-
paned until Monday.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked the grounds of the
application.
Marshall said, they had only been committed to New-
Mate last nigh,, and consequently they were not prepared
to take their trial so soon.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE asked if they expected
Gnu n se I.

Marshall said they did ; they had engaged Counsel, but
he was not yet in Court.
The LOKI) CHIEF JUSTICE said that, from what be
had seen in the depo•i:ions, there could be no objeeti•ln to
put off the trial until next ses,.ions.

The prisoners oljected to Euch a long pArttponement,
and wished their trial to come on tomorrow or Monday.
His LORDSHIP ordered the prisoners to staid by unt.l
their Counsel a rived.

James Sullivan, an athletic Irishman, of a ruffianly
appearanc-, was indicte I 14. assaulting Agnes Giffw, and
robbing her of a reticule containing, a key and six siailltug-
old eightpence in money.
It app 'aced, from the statement of the pro,iccutria, a
pretty looking young woman of fashionable appearance,
that about two o'clock in the morning of the Stb instant
she was walking along Bond-street, when the prisoner
catre up to her, knocked her down by a blow on the
breast, snitched her reticule from her arm, and ran off.
She got up and pursued him with a cry of " Stop thief !"
until he was taken into custody.
Tile policeman who stopped the prisoner stated, that he
found the prosecutrix's reticule and its contents in his
pucker.

The jury found him Guilty.
William Thomas was indicted for breaking and enter-
ing the dwelling-house of James 134wmar, and stealing a
tea-caddy, a coat, a sofa•cover, a table-cover, and other
articles.

It appeared that on the night of the 6th of March,
s wine p rsons entered the prosecutor's hou,e, by forcing
the parlour window, and stealing the articles named in
the indictment. The prisoner was seen by one of the
witnesses to hand some articles out of the window to
another loan, who ran off; after which the prisoner
jumped out of the window, but being pursued, was t iken
into custody. None of the property was found—the man
who had it having escaped.
The prisoner was found Guilty.

Edward Phillips was indicted for breaking and enter-
ing the dwelling-rouse of Thomas Willcocks, in Went-
worth-street, Whitechapel, and stealing a table, a bolster,
and two pillows. The prisoner was found lying on the
prosecutor's bed, fast asleep, and the articles named in the
indiettnent removed from the places i❑ which they had
been lrft, and ready to be carried away. The house was
described by the policeman, to be one for the reception of
f :In ales.

The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty.
Charles Shadbolt was capitally indicted for feloniously
assaulting John Masters, with intent to rub him, or to do
him some grievous bodily harm.
It appeared• from the statements of the prosecutor and
three other witnesses, that on the night of Monday last,
he was accosted by the prisoner in Mitchell street, Old-
street, to whom he was a perfect stranger, and after walk-
ing a short distance, the prisoner tripped him up, and en-
de tvoured to take his watch from his fob. He did not,
however, succeed, and then the prisoner beat and kicked
him in the must brutal manner, inflicting several severe
wounds about his face and uecre, and causing him to bleed
profusely. His cries for assistance at length brought
the other witnesses to the spot. and they saw the prisoner
standing over the prosecutor and endeavouring to stifle his
cries. The prisoner's bands and shoes were covered with
the prosecutor's blood.
The jury found him Guilty of the intent to do the
prosecutor some grievous bodily harm.
