THE FUNDS.

Our own domestic information is of such importance this
morning, that it absorbs every other description of intelli-
gence ;—it is no less than the dissolution of the British Mi-
nistry, and that the Duke of Wellington has had an inter-
view with the King ; but the result has not as yet transpired.
We need not say what bustle and excitement at this mo-
ment prevails in the City, on this important event, as well as
to ascertain the correctness of the report, and it has come as
a thunder-bolt on the Stock Exchange. At the opening of
the market, all was dismay and confusion, and the British
as well as the Foreign Funds have receded.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 911 -, opened at
901 8, and are now 901.

. -
Spanish left off at 56i 77k, opened at 54i, and are now
51. ; Portuguese left off at 874, and opened at 861.
Our arrivals this morning are one French, one Ham-
bark, and a mail'from Sweden,, with the express from Paris.
The latter arrival is of some importance, as it brings a tele-
graphic dispatch from Madrid of the Bth inst., stating that
the Procuradores had adopted, by .a large. majority, and
without modification, the amendments made by the other
Chamber on the Foreign Debt Bill ; and that Guebhard'
loan is recognized, and placed on the same footing with all
other loans.

The information from the theatre of war in Spain states
that the Carlists who had re-entered the Bastan have been
driven out again.

It is also stated that Don Carlos's army now consists of
23,000 infantry and 1,700 cavalry.

Up to the present moment we have all kinds of reports
in the City, but none of them to be relied on ; such as the
Duke of Wellington going to the Horse Guards, Manners
Sutton, Speaker of the House of Commons, as Premier, &e.
Spanish Stock, 54i ; Portuguese, 86i.
Great anxiety still prevails in the City.
We hear of an express from Paris of some importance ;
the news not yet transpired.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The following list of the new Ministry has been handed
about the West End of the town. It is not credited in the
city :—The Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Richmond,
Lord Ellenborough, Lord Brougham, Lord Stanley, Sir
James Graham, Sir G. Murray, Sir R. Peel, the Earl of
Aberdeen, Lord Rosslyn, Mr. Gouldburn, and Mr. Herries.
This day we have two untoward events—the breaking
up of the British Ministry, and the resignation of the new
French Ministry. What will the Holy Alliance say to all
this ? At a future period this question will be resolved
by them. It will also cheer up the spirits of the
King of Holland, who has been waiting for a long
time for a God-send, which at length he has obtained,
and no doubt will act accordingly.
The City is all on the qui rive, and nothing but asto-
nishment prevails at this moment.
Nothing is yet known as to the new Ministry.
Consols have not been much affected on the above
events : they are at present 90-,7,- to 91 for the Account.
Spanish, .54i ; Portuguese, 85i to 86.

Consols for the. Account, 90i to 91.

An order has been issued that the four regiments of
Lancers, 9th, 12th, 16th, and 17th, shall be armed with a
carbine and pistols, the same as hussars and other light cavalry,
in addition to the lance. These extra accoutrements have
been supplied to the three regiments on home service, and
will be forwarded to the 16th regiment now doing duty in India.
VEGETABLE MONSTROSITIES.—There is nosy in
our printing-office, for the inspection of the curious in such
matters, a very fine specimen of the white globe turnip, of ex-
traordinary size and weight. It was grown or the farm of
Balig, the property of the Marquis of Ailsa, occupied by Mr.
Fulton (the cultivation of whose farm is highly creditable to
him), and weighs between 191 b. and 201 b. ; in girth it mea-
sures rather more than one yard. From the same farm we
have a potato of the red kind, and of unusual dimensions,
weighing 31b., and measuring one foot nine inches in circum-
ference ; but this latter root, large though it be, is even cx-
ceeded by a brother of the same tribe, brought to our office,
on Saturday last, by Robert Wood,
.Newton. It grew at
Shawfield, near that town, was one foot eleven inches in girth,
and 31b. 3 oz. in weight. In the same field cultivated by Mr.
Wood, the very unusual number of 103 potatoes were found at
a single stem. Mr. Skinner, Auchincruive, has also forwarded
to us a gigantic potato of the same kind. In weight it is
31b. Soz., at 16 ounces to the pound ; and measures two feet
eight inches by one foot eight inches. With a choppin of but-
ter-milk it would suffice to dine a whole cabin full of Hiber-
nians.—Ayr Observer.
We understand that two men, named Hudson and
Oddy, are now laying claim to the estates, and one of them to
the title of Lord Ducie, who has extensive property in Man-
chester and neighbourhood, and especially in the township of
Cheetham. Instead of instituting legal proceedings in the
usual form, they have chosen to distrain for rent arising
out of the property in question, and which rent they allege
to be due to themselves. On Thursday last, to the great
surprise of Mr, Lloyd, of Strangeways-cottage, which is part
of Strangeways-hall, (formerly the residenceof the Lords
Ducie,) five men rushed into the house, demanded possession
of it, and, without further ceremony, proceeded to take an
inventory of the furniture. On demanding to know who they
were, and what was their authority, Mr. Lloyd was informed
that one of them was " Mr. Oddy," one of the claimants of
the property, and the others a London bailiff named Freethy,
with his assistants, and that they were proceeding to levy un-
der a distress for rent and arrears of rent due to Hudson and
Oddy, to the amount of 5001. Mr. Lloyd, of course, called
in a friend who resided near him, and a solicitor, when he
found that his only legal course was to replevy the goods •
be therefore entered into the usual bond for that purpose, with
two sureties for 1,0001. each, and thus got rid of his trouble-
