THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
We have but one arrival of foreign mails this morning—the
French mail, bringing the express from Paris.
Halifax papers to the Bth of June have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house.
(From the papers of the 7th June.)

Several of our correspondents in the country are anxious to know
whether there is any foundation for the rumours that have gone
abroad relative to official changes and appointments. We believe
to a certain extent these reports are correct ; and we have no doubt,
before long, some announcement will be made by which new light
will be thrown upon the conduct of certain parties in the Assembly
during the past session.
The season is still backward and unpromising ; we expected by
the middle of last month that we were going to have an early spring,
but we have been disappointed. May has been marked by flakes
of snow and heavy frost, with cold North-easterly winds.
Accounts from Antwerp state that the King of• Holland, after
having presented himself at the communion-table, was going to
depart to inspect the army of observation on the frontiers of Bel-
gium ; after which he was to visit the West and East of Holland.
This circumstance, with the late augmentation of the different
corps, greatly occupies the attention of the public, to ascertain the
motives of his journey.
The Belgian Government have given orders to march to Bres-
chel on the sth of July the 4th battalion of the 28th regiment, to
cover the batteries of artillery placed there.

THE FUNDS.
The express from Paris is only worthy of attention in respect to
the readiness for sea of a large squadron at Toulon, destined as was
supposed for the Levant, but other reports are in circulation
respecting its destination, which is now said to be for the express
purpose of gratifying the King of the French in performing a grand
review, on his intended tour to the south. The French papers do
not contain any domestic news ; nor do they bring later accounts
from Madrid than the 21st inst.

Owing to a report at Paris that the Government in Council had
decided on a loan of 250 millions of francs, the French Funds
fell to 77f. 25c. ; Spanish 383/.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 92%, opened at the same
price; Spanish 49% %; Portuguese 82% to 831/8. No arrivals
from Portugal as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The embarkation of the Queen for Holland has rather thinned the
Stock Exchange and Foreign Markets of its members, who have
proceeded to Gravesend, consequently there is very little doing at
present hi either of the markets.
Conso9; are 93 to % ; Spanish is looking heavy at 49 ' • Portu-
guese Stock has improved to 831/2 ; at present 8314 tol/2. No
fresh arrival to communicate.

DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA. —lt will be in
the recollection of our readers that a small terrier dog, belonging
to Mr. Butler, of Springfield, died six weeks since, supposed to
be mad. The animal, whilst in a rabid state, bit several persons
in the town, and also some dogs. However, no symptoms appearing,
the matter was thought but little of until Sunday last, when William
Lidbrook, a journeyman in the employ of Mr. Edwards, butcher, of
Regent. street, who had been bitten, felt a pain in his arm, and a
slight pain in the head : in the evening he was generally un-
well, but went to bed at his usual time. His master, feel-
ing anxious about him, went to his bed-room at eleven o'clock,
when Lidbrook said he thought he heard some one breaking
.into
the back premises. Mr. Edwards, supposing this to be delirium,
went himself for a medical man, and on his return found him
dressed and down stairs; deceased had made some tea, but said he
could not drink—on being pressed to drink the tea, he succeeded,
but with spasmodic sobbing. He was then bled and took some
medicine, but passed a restless night. At seven o'clock on Monday
morning the disease manifested itself in all its usual symptoms; he
remained in spasmodic convulsions, without intermission, until
between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, when he died, in the
presence of all the medical men. His intellect was unimpaired.—
