THE FUNDS.

The information from Spain is rather of a vague description,
and nothing official to be depended upon as yet ; but upon the
whole we are convinced that the insurrection in Spain has not
gained much ground, and is still confined to the northern
province. If we can credit French accounts, Don Carlos has
resumed his former position in Portugal, where, perhaps, he
will make the best bargain he can for himself with the Queen
of Spain, as it is evident he has not sufficient force to com-
mence any serious operations. In respect to Portuguese
affairs, we have no direct arrival as yet. A Morning Journal
states that the Spanish Ambassador has received an express from
Falmouth stating that Don Miguel with his army had retreated
to Santarem ; this may be correct, but to the present hour it
requires confirmation.
The dark cloud, which for a length of time hung over the
Dutch affairs, appears now to disperse, and we may expect
soon to hear of its coming to a final settlement, in consequence
of stock, and the improvement of the French Rentes.

The British Funds have a more bright appearance than for
some time past. _ .

Consols which left off on Saturday at 87%is for the Ac.
count opened at 8714 %, at which price they arc at present,
with the market looking up.

The Foreign Funds have also a more favourable appearance;
Portuguese New Stock 59 to lA ; Spanish 22, !(2.
In other securities little doing as yet.

The great smash which we announced last week among
some of the bill-brokers in the City causes some anxiety on
'Change, as one house has been let in for a very large amount,
and the whole is of a very black description.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We have no confirmation, as yet, of the reported despatches
from Lisbon to the Spanish Ambassador. Had a steamer ar-
rived at Falmouth, no doubt we should have known it in the
City ere this.
The Funds are not quite so good as in the early part of the
morning, when Consols reached 87} fur the Account; but they
still maintain the price of 87j j, with little doing.
The Foreign Market has also receded a little—Portuguese
New Stock 59} ; Spanish 22 %; Dutch 49 %. In other foreign
securities nothing doing.
We have no reports worth communicating at present.

We have this moment received the Hamburg Reporter of
Friday last.

FUNDS.—The accounts from Spain operate favourably today
upon prices. Discount 2 per cent.
Owing to a short supply of wheat from the interior, holders
have been standing out for higher prices, but the transactions
have not been large.

TIIE UNKNOWN TONGUE IN TIPPERARY.
—Last week, the steward of a nobleman, in the County
Tipperary, passing a chapel near Knocklofty, just as the
congregation were departing, met a peasant named Pile-
0' Rafferty, who seemed exceedingly flurried. The
steward asked him what was the matter? Tu which
Plielirn answered, " Oh, your honour, the unknown
tongue was beard in our chapel. On being asked to ex-
plain himself, he said, " Your worship, the priest, after
praying in Latin, and preaching in Irish, told the people in
plain English, which was unknown to 'em all but myself
and his reverence, that if they did not behave themselves
better, something terrible i❑ troth would visit the parish."
EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE. .A potatoe,
dim' out of the garden of Mr. Daniel Bown, officer of
excise, at Clutton, a few days ago, produced no less than
142 tubers.

The Select Vestry of Marylebone have
determined to apply to the Legislature for a Bill empow-
ering them to make their own gas, to the exclusion of the
Companies by which they are now supplied. We know
not what are the prospects of advantage which the pro-
jectors of this scheme bold out to the parishioners, but,
judging from all former parochial speculations, we should
think it very likely to turn out a job for the benefit of a
few individuals.
EXTRAORDINARY PIG.--A pig was killed
last week at the Forston Lunatic Asylum, weighing 15
sconeand llbs. The animal was ten months and ten days
old, and Of the mixed Dorset and China breed, and had
eaten only six bushels of barley.—Butli Herald.
