THE FUNDS.

Consols opened this morning at the price they left off
yesterday, 921/2 % for the Account.
The above market at present is entirely neglected, and
will be while the mania prevails for speculating in the
Spanish and Portuguese Stocks. The former has a very
sickly appearance at present ; it left off yesterday at 50,
and has receded to 49% %. Portuguese, 781 lA•
There seems much anxiety to ascertain who were really
the compounders for the Cortes Bonds—the Spanish Am-
bassador, or the bond-holders, as nothing official has been
done on the subject. It is of no importance at present;
but we should recommend to the Spanish government to
compound for the whole of their national debt.
Up to the present hour, we have no arrivals for Portu
gal, which have been anxiously looked for from the be
ginning of the week.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Consols have been all the morning at 921/2 % for the
Account, without the least animation.
Spanish is still heavy at 49% %, Portuguese 7814.

RAMSGATE, JUNE 20.—The beautifu.
new steam-vessel, the Ramsgate Packet, makes ex-
cursions from hence to Dover twice in the week, in
addition to her regular passages to and from Calais.
She returned from Dover a few days since in the very
short time of one hour and twenty-five minutes. This
morning she carried upwards of fifty passengers to
that port.
A GALLANT OFFICER.—A gentleman in
Renfrew received a short time ago, from a son in New-
foundland, a dog of a very fine breed of that country,
which, in addition to his beauty, possessed such a fund
of sagacity and gratitude, as rendered him a deeided
favourite with all who knew him. Last week he
made a snap at a small dog passing through Renfrew
at the heels of a military officer on horseback, which
so incensed the officer, that he dismounted, drew his
sword, repeatedly fleshed it in the body of the noble
animal, and left him sprawling in the throes of death.
BANK STOCK.—We observe, that at the
annual general meeting of proprietors of the Western
Bank of Scotland, held here on 11th instant, a divi-
dend was declared of 6 per cent., besides placing a
large addition to the sinking fund of last year. Much
of this result is no doubt to be attributed to the able
and enlightened management of the bank in question ;
yet, even making allowance for that, it shows how well
the principle is now appreciated amongst us, of keeping
our banking profits amongst ourselves, and how great
the public confidence is in the joint-stock system of
Scottish banking.—Glasgow Free Press.
A new work, called " The Disinherited and
the Ensnared" is announced from the pen of the ac-
complished sister of the Duke of Argyle. This noble
lady stands in the first rank of female authors, no less
for the grace and high tone of her composition, than
for the more generally appreciated merit of construct-
ing a story which shall not only excite, but sustain
Lady
reader's curiosity. It is known, too, thattect.and3ci
Charlotte Bury has seen more of the el
fehvear native
courtly society of Europe (particularly
even
country) than the greater portion of individuals
of her own order.

Some years ago, a number of industrious inhabitants
lof the place bethought themselves that what had

be turned into an advantage, and having obtained the
land over the fire, to be laid out in garden patches, it
is from thence that for four or five years last past, have
been obtained the finest early potatoes which have
been sold in Rotherham and Sheffield markets.—Hull

ANOTHER ACCIDENT FROM CAB-DRIV-
ING. —Yesterday evening, as Messrs. Cremer and
Barnes, merchants, of Lime-street, city, were driving
a single-horse chaise to Chelsea, at the foot of West-
minster-bridge a cab, which was proceeding at a rapid
pace down the hill, drove against them with such
violence, as to snap asunder both the shafts of their
vehicle. Policeman 162 L who was on the spot, mea-
sured the ground, and found a distance between the cab
and path sufficient to admit a carriage, and that the driver
had pulled from the track of his wheel at least one
yard towards the vehicle driven by Mr. Barnes, evi-
dently for the purpose of. annoying him. Both the
gentlemen were thrown a considerable distance, but
fortunately neither sustained any serious injury. This
is one among the many instances daily occurring of
people's lives being endangered from the gross mis- London :
conduct of cab-drivers.
