THE FUNI)S.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, Tw EL VE O'CLOCK.

The Morning Herald of this day states that their Falmouth
Correspondent, under the date of the 13th of April, has
received by way of Plymouth the following intelligence from
the Douro, dated the Bth inst. on board his Majesty's ship
Orestes :—" That Admiral Sartorius has run away with the
fleet to England, so that we may expect the Miguelites to
blockade us Sir John Doyle and Captain Crosbie are on board
the London Merchant off the bay, but cannot land. Don Pedro
means to send Captain Minns to England to claim the fleet and
to bring it hack. Admiral Sartorius is to be declared a traitor."
Up to the present hour we have no confirmation in the City
of the above event. We understand by private letters that a
good deal of intrigue is still going on at Oporto.
A number of files of the [Jolted States Papers, have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house ; from
New York of the 9.3 d ultimo; Baltimore of the same date,
and from Philadelphia, but they do not contain later infor_
mation than already published. In one of them there is a
decree regulating the trade on the Atlantic coast of New Gra-
nada, stating that all vessels, whether national or foreign, must,
before they can trade to any part of the above coast, enter into
some port near that coast, and obtain a license, for which they
must pay at the rate of one dollar and a half per ton. Secondly,
that all vessels will be confiscated, with their cargoes, which
are found trading with the Indians on the said coast, if the ar-
ticles are contraband of war.
THE FUNDS.

Consols left off yesterday very heavy at 87 for the
Account, opened this morning at 87 1,4 %, afterwards were done
at 87 and at present may be quoted 87 % buyers for Account,
with little doing. The arrivals this morning are few and of no
importance.
In the Foreign Market the prices are about the same as
yesterday.

HALF•PAST ONE.

Although we have no political news, or reports to the pre-
sent hour, the funds have become very heavy, and Consols have
receded to 37 !,1, 1i for the account. The cause is supposed to
be the present unsettled state of the affairs in the East.
We hear that letters have been received from Oporto, saying
that on the 9th a grand review was to take place, and on the
10th or 11th inst. General Solignac was to make a grand attack
on the Miguelites.
The foreign market is in the same heavy state as that of the
British; little doing.
Consols for money, 87
No further accounts of Sartorius' squadron.

OLD COUR\
John Peppers. a foreigner, genteelly'
for forging the signature of Robinson, HaL
check for 1501., upon the bank of Williams
Mr. BODKIN, for the prosecution, called

John Brown Robinson, Esq., who stated that he was a mer-
chant of London, residing in the Old Jewry, and his bankers
were Messrs. Williams and Co. Recollects the prisoner bring-
ing a letter of introduction in the latter end of October last.
About the 12th of Nov., the prisoner returned, and asked him
to negotiate three bills for 1501. drawn upon his father's house,
of Peppers and Co., whom he stated carried on business in
Rotterdam. Stamps were sent for, and filled up. After that
the prisoner asked the deponent to give him the amount; but
after making fruitless inquiries about the house of Peppers and
Co. abroad, he refused. On the 13th he asked him to let
him have 201. upon those bills, which he did, by giving
him a check upon his banker. Showed the prisoner, as he was
a foreigner, the banking house of Williams and Co. On the
15th he called again, and asked to be allowed to write a letter
in his counting-house. After the prisoner had written
the letter, he went up stairs for a few minutes, leaving
his check-book on the table, where the prisoner was. A
clerk was in the same room, but his back was turned towards
the prisoner. In consequence of intimation from hi,
bankers, went to the bankinghouse, and afterwards gave direr-
tions for taking the prisoner into custody. Application
was made at the Royal Hotel, St. James's, where the prisoner
lodged; but he had departed, although deponent was to have
got him tickets for several public places. The signature to
the check was a forgery, and, to the best of the deponent's
belief, in the handwriting of the prisoner. The word "pound"
was written upon the check instead of " pounds," which the
prisoner had written also upon the three drafts. Could ac.
count for every check in the book, except the one in question.
Edward Andrews, the clerk of Mr. Robinson, corrobo.
rated his statement, and stated that he met the prisoner
in Regent.street, in the month of February last. Kept him
in conversation till a police officer came up, when he gave him
in charge. The prisoner said—" For God's sake, don't take
me."

William Williams, clerk in the house of Williams and
Co., the bankers, stated that it was the practice in their bank,
that each customer's checks should have a separate number,
and not e .ch check of the customer numbered consecutively,
as was generally the custom. The prisoner brought a check
for 1501., purporting to be signed by Robinson and Co., on the
15th November, which suspecting to be a forgery, he went to
look at the books in which the signatures were kept, and on
his return the prisoner had gone away.
Robert Bruce, the maker of the check books for Williams
and Co., stated that the check in question came out of Mr.
Robinson's check book. There were always exactly 200 checks
in each book, and in the book there were now only 199.
The jury found the prisoner—Guilty.
