THE FUNDS.

The news from Oporto is not looked upon as favourable
in the city. By the private letters of the 2.2 d ult it is
stated that Sartorius was sill off Oporto negotiating with
Don Pedro : this has had the effect of lowering the Por-
tuguese Scrip 1 per cent. this morning.
Consols opened at the satne price they left off yesterday,
SZU for Account, since which they have been done
at 877•
The Foreign Market is void of interest.
HALF-PAST T WELVE.

We have been furnished with the sight of a letter from
Oporto, dated the 2Sth ult., which is five days later
than those published in the morning papers. The follow-
ing is an extract :
" Sartorius, in my opinion, is a man of honour, and
must not be hastily judged of; the English crews are
well paid and fed, and all that was wanting has been
accomplished ; the business is arranged, and Sartorius is
off the bar ready to fight. The revolt at Figneira, as they
write from Lisbon, is serious ; and there is very little doubt
that troops will leave here the moment the weather
permits. They assure me that a contract for 6,000 men
has been made in Fiance. It is expected that in the
course of eight days some important event will take place,
as the different regiments have been required to give an
exact statement of the number of troops in each."
HALF-PAST ONE.

Since the early part of the mornintz, Consols which
were 87 for the Account, have become heavy, and
at present may be quoted 87i This turn of the
Market is attributable to a report that the West India
question is put off to the 23d inst.
We understand that it is not the Prince of Orange who
is coming to this country, but his brother Prince Fre-
derick of Holland.
We do not hear of any express from Paris having
arrived in the city to the present hour.

A rumour was in circulation yesterday amongst
the Government offices that the Secretaryship for Ireland
ha been offered to Mr. ASKRCROMBY.
PAROCHIAL MEETING.—A meeting of the
parishioners of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, takes place this
evening, upon the requisition of Messrs. MNErr and
Px.kacr., the churchwardens, and which, in consequence of
the excitement which prevails throughout the parish, is ex•
pected to be a very numerous one, " to take into con-
sideration the propriety of requesting Dr. LUSHINGTON
to resign his seat in Parliament as a representative of
the Tower Hamlets; and also to petition the Legislature
for a repeal of the assessed taxes, and a reduction of the
police and county rates." The feeling upon these sub-
jects appears to be equally strong in the neighbouring
parishes. In that of St Luke, a meetint; was held on
the same evening when Sir JOHN KEY'S motion was
made in the House of Commons, called by the church-
waidens, " to adopt such measures as might appear re-
quisite to insure a repeal of the assessed taxes, in eon-
sequence of the Ministers having totally disappointed the
hopes of the country." On that occasion all party Pe
11001 which run exceedingly high in the parish, seemed
to have been diseardea. Resolutions were unanimously
adopted, a petition sent off instanter to the House of
Commons, and a committee of the leading parishioners
appointed to co-operate with other parishes for the at-
tainment of the object in view.
