THE FUNDS.

Consols opened at the same price they left off at yesterday,
134-41- for the Account, and at which price they are at
present, with nothing doing; the speculators are waiting
to ascertain the prices of the French Rentes.

The private letters from Oporto this-morning are of the
26th ult. ; great desertions had taken place, particularly
in cavalry, from Dou Miguel's army. No general attack
bad been made up to that date on the town, but informa-
tion had been received, should Miguel's troop+ make an
attack, several of his regiments would join Pedro, as the
army was in great want of provisions.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing ; Portuguese
Scrip has improved to 4i discount.
We have just obtained an extract from the original
letter from Oporto, dated the 26th ult.—" Some cavalry
have come over, and the rest of the regiment say they will
do the same when an opportunity offers. They have
ceased throwing shells and bombs into the city, and made
no further attacks since the 15th or 16th."

HALF-PAST ONE.

The private letters from Lisbon, dated the 21st ult.,
state that the small craft which Sartorius left behind has
resumed the blockade of the Tagus. Nothing was known
of the two squadrons on the above date, therefore it was
presumed that they had sailed to the southward.
Several letters are in town from Madeira ; some of them
say that an expedition was preparing there for the attack
of Terceira, which had a weak garrison.

Consols, which were in the early part of the day at 844
for the Account, are at present Sq- 4 ; and for next
time 844 i•
In the Foreign Market little or nothing is doing ; Por-
tuguese Scrip is rather better, 48 to discount.

We are requested to contradict a report that
had found its way into many of the Journals, " that Sir J.
M. DOYLE was going out to command the Portuguese
army," there being no foundation for such a report. The
gallant officer himself had never heard of such an appoint..
ment, and was aware that the command had been long
since confided to his brave friend and fellow soldier, the
Count DE VILLA FLOE, a nobleman whose high character,
whose gallant bearing in the Peninsular war, and whose
distinguished services in the present unhappy contest, had
justly entitled him to the confidence of his sovereign and
of his country. The report appears to have originated
with a Country Paper, probably from this officer's having,
in the former war, held a command in the Portuguese
army.

GUILDHALL.--(THIS DAY.)

UNITED KINGDOM NEWSPAPER.

James Smith, a Newsman, residing at 41, Milton-street,
City, applied to Mr. Alderman Thorpe for a summons
against the proprietors of the United Kingdom news-
paper, under the following circumstances. The com-
plainant stated, that about 7
or 8 months ago the pro-
prietors of the paper in question issued an advertisement,
stating that a subscriber for 3 months to their paper
would be entitled at the end of that period to a map
of London taken from actual survey. In consequence of
this advertisement the complainant cntained twenty-seven
subscribers to the paper, and at the expiration of three
months applied at the office, Red-lion Court, Fleet-street ;
up to the present moment, however, although 7 or 8
months had elapsed, he had only been able to procure
20 maps, inconsequence of which, the subscribers who had
not been furnished with them refused to pay for the papers.
Under these circumstances lie felt compelled to apply to a
a Magistrate for a summons, calling upon the proprietors
of the paper to show cause why they refused to furnish
him with the seven remaining maps. The complainant
had applied to the Court of Request to compel the pro-
prietors to pay him the value of the maps, hut the Com-
missioners refused to interfere, considering it not a legal
debt.

Mr. Alderman THORPE was afraid the matter could
only be considered by him in the light of a breach of con-
tract, for which the complainant had a remedy, but not
before a magistrate. The worthy Alderman inquired the
value of the maps? The complainant said the propri-
etors of the paper valued it at half a guinea, which was
much more than its value. He had no doubt that people
subscribed to the paper more for the sake of obtaining the
map, than for the information it contained.
