THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The City capitalists, who have been during the whole of the
week expecting a communication from Ministers in regard
to the West India Loan, are disappointed to the present
hour, in consequence of which there is a scarcity of stock
in the Market. The prevailing opinion is that Ministers must
have money, but whether they will obtain it by an open loan,
or other financial plan, is still doubtful.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 901 for the Account
and for Money, opened this morning at the same price. Ex-
chequer Bills 27 29 ; India Bonds 7 9 ; Bank Stock 215 216.
The following are the prices of the Foreign Stocks this
morning :—Spanish Bonds 491 11,-; Spanish Scrip 11 101 dis. ;
Portuguese Bonds 901 91 ; Three per Cents. 60k.
We have received a New York Paper of the 18th June : it
contains no news. _ _ _

Jamaica, Barbadocs, and Philadelphia.

A person, having the manners and appearance of a
(gentleman, came by coach from Bristol to the Swan Inn,
Thornbury, about a month since. He said be had come to
Thornbury for the purpose of examining the parish register,
his grandfather having been originally from thence. After
staying about a week at the inn, he went into private lodgings
at a house in the town : he drank a good deal of wine and
spirits, and having become feverish and ill, was attended by
a medical gentleman, under whose care, and by abstaining
from spirits, he soon became better, though weak and debi-
litated. He seemed at times to be greatly depressed in spi-
rits, and on last Saturday evening particularly so ; he took
the opportunity of the person in whose house he lodged going
to his surgeon's on a message, to go down stairs, and possess
himself of some sherry wine, a very small quantity only for-
tunately being in the bottle ; be drank this, and it seemed to
put him in a great state of excitement, and the persons who
were in the room with him having momentarily left it, on
their return found that the unfortunate gentleman had cut
his throat with a penknife, and with such dreadful effect, that,
notwithstanding every assistance was rendered him, be died
in a few hours. On searching his portmanteaus to discover
who and what he was, a very large sum of money, consisting
of Bank of England notes and sovereigns, was found, and the
heading of a bill of parcels for goods, giving a slight reason
to suppose he bad come from the neighbourhood of Manchester.
A letter was instantly despatched there, and on Wednesday
his friends arrived from thence. He proved to be Mr. Joseph
Wrigley, a very respectable clothier and merchant, at Knowle,
near Saddleworth, Yorkshire, and he had left home a very
short time before his arrival at Thornbury ; and from a letter
written by him from Liverpool to his wife, his friends believed
him to have gone to America. No cause whatever can satis-
factorily be assigned for the extraordinary step he took in
coming to this neighbourhood, and which led to such a fatal
and lamentable result. Ile has left a young widow and four
small children, one having been born since his departure from
home. An inquest was held on Monday, before Mr. W. J.
Ellis, and a verdict returned of " Derangement of mind."
MR. BANIM.—The friends of Mr. Banim have
resolved to make an appeal to those amongst the Dublin
public who sympathise in the afflictions, and would reward the
merits, of genius. This man, who has conferred such honour
on our literature and nation, is in a condition to make it ques-
tionable whether his very existence is not involved in the suc-
cess of the appeal. All parties, we believe, are united in
their disposition to render service to this victim of the most
terrific disease that can aflict humanity. We observe that
the Lord Lieutenant has granted his patronage. It is a meed
to intellectual eminence to be expected from a Nobleman,
who has exercised his own intellect with such credit to the
order to which he belongs.—Dublin Register.
CHURCH RATES.—Monday, the Churchwardens
of St. Michael's, in this city, summoned several of the inha-
bitant householders of that parish, before the Mayor, for non-.
payment of certain Church Rates alleged to be due to the
parish. In their defence, the parties summoned contended
that the rates were illegal, " inasmuch as the proceeds had
been appropriated to purposes not sanctioned, by the Legisla-
ture ;" and notice to the effect havinr, been given to the Mayor
the_ necessary. consequence < was, that . his worship could not.
legally enforce payment of the rates; but the Churchwardens
are left to remove the case into a 'Weller Court.—Bath Herald.
