THE FUNDS.

At present we have no arrivals from Portugal.
The French journals by the express, are entirely
void of any foreign information • but, by all accounts,
the defeat of General Quesada is confirmed, which,
no doubt, will cause much anxiety at Madrid, and encou-
rage the Carlists with more confidence in their future at-
tacks on the Queen's troops.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 9214% for the Ac-
count, opened at 92%, at which price they are at present.
Spanish and Portuguese securities, are a shade lower than
yesterday, the former at 77, and the latter at 7634 77.

Resolved—that the reasons assigned by the Secretary of
the Treasury, on the removal of the money of the United
States deposited in the bank of the United States and its
branches, communicated to Congress on the 4th Decem-
ber, 1833, are unsatisfactory and insufficient—Yeas, 28 ;
Nays, 18.

PERTHSHIRE ELECTION.—On Tuesday
last the nomination of candidates for the representation
of the county of Perth in Parliament, took place in
front of the County Hall, Perth, where hustings had
been erected for the accommodation of the candidates
and their friends. The Hon. John Stuart Wortley
proposed Sir George Murray, and Mr. James Wood
seconded the nomination. Mr. Robert Graham was
proposed by the Hon. Fox Maude, and Mr. Nairne, of
Denismorne, seconded the nomination. The two
candidates then addressed the meeting at great length,
after which, on a show of hands, several thousands were
held up, amidst great applause, for Mr. Graham, but
scarcely one for Sir George Murray. Further pro-
ceedings were adjourned till Thursday, on which day
polling commences at nine o'clock. _ _ _

BOLTON.--A strike has taken place in se-

attempt to reduce the wages of the spinners and

TRADES' UNION.—We are informed that a
deputation consisting of two tailors, from the Grand
Consolidated Trades' Union, London, visited this
town on Saturday last, on the evening of which day,
on Sunday, and on Monday morning, meetings of the
operatives of different trades took place, and, during
their stay, nearly 1,000 men were initiated. The
meetings were strictly secret, the door of the meeting-
house being kept on the outside by two sentinels, and
not even the landlord of the house or any other person,
except members, were admitted.—Hull Advertiser.
TRADES' UNIONS.—The building branch
are seeking for a suitable place whereon to erect a
lodge, in order that their meetings may be held there
instead of at public houses. At Lewes the principal
master tailors, finding that the journeymen generally
have been induced through the persuasive eloquence

TITHES I—RIOT WITH Loss OF LIVES.
ATTACK ON THE POLICE AND MlLlTARY.—lntelligence
of an alarming riot, in the neighbourhood of Drum-
colloher, has reached town this morning, The par-
ticulars, as far as we could collect them with accuracy,
are these :—ln consequence of the resistance which
had been experienced by the Rev. T. Locke in the
collection of the tithe-composition due to him, that
reverend gentleman found himself under the neces-
sity of applying to the proper authorities for assist-
_Alice. Accordingly, a strong force of police and
military, under the command of our active chief
magistrate of police, T. P. Yokes, Esq., proceeded
yesterday to the lands in question, where, shortly
after, multitudes of the country people began to as-
semble, expressing their determination to prevent any
seizure from taking place. In defiance of the firm
and friendly remonstrances of Mr. Vokes on the folly
and illegality of their proceedings, they carried their
audacity so far as to assail the police and military with
a volley of stones, which they quickly repeated. The
latter were ordered to load ; but this instead of inti-
midating their assailants, only increased their fury.
In their own defence, therefore, the party had to fire
on the multitude, and the result has been a loss of
lives among the country people, to the extent of twenty
or more, according to report ; but this, we trust, will
prove an exaggeration. Mr. Vokes was struck several
times with stones ; nor is it yet ascertained whether he
has escaped without severe injury.—Limerick Herald of
Tuesday.
