THE FUNDS.

To-morrow being settling-day in the Consol Market we
must be upon our guard against false intelligence and re-
ports, which are generally industriously circulated on the
above occasion, either for the interest of the Bulls or
Bears. An Evening Journal last night stated an express
had arrived from Paris; this gave some alarm to our city
speculators, and caused the funds to recede a little, but on
due enquiry being made on the subject it was supposed to
be a mere stock-jobbing concern. No doubt in a very
few hours the truth will come out, as we under-
stind that an express has arrived from Paris, and it is
said that the French Rentes come lower about 40 cents.
Had the French Government received the official account
that the Emperor of Russia had positively refused the ra-
tification of the treaty with Holland, no doubt the French
rentes would have lowered considerably, and, ere this, we
should have had the arrival of several expresses with the
important information. Therefore, the well informed in
the city are of opinion, that it is entirely a stock-jobbing
concern.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 831 for the ac-
count, opened at 834 afterwards were done at 831 to
84, at present they are 83k sellers.
Little or nothing doing in the Foreign Market as yet.

HALF-PAST ONE.

As we predicted in our former article, the informa-
tion in one of the Evening Papers last night was a
stock-jobbing manoeuvre, and has now come to light by the
reception of the Messager des Chambres of yesterday,
which is of a very pacific tendency. We have also private
information from a high quarter, which states that the
Five Powers have perfectly agreed on the treaty of Hol-
land, and given their ratification, but only through cour-
tesy leaving his Dutch Majesty to take his own time fur the
ratification ; no doubt is entertained that it will soon be
accomplished.
Consols have improved on the above information to 84.

CURE FOR THE TOOTHACHE.—Last week
a person who was subpoenaed as a witness at the Wake-
field Sessions, was extremely unwell of the toothache, but
no sooner was he placed in the witness-box than the
toothache left him.

In compliance with the desire expressed by
the Bishop of DURHAM, that Divine Set vice should be
performed once a week, in addition to the Sunday, until
the pestilence which has lately visited our shores " be
stayed," the churches in the city of Durham were opened
for that purpose on Wednesday last, and the same was done
in Sunderland and Bishopwearrnouth.-7yne Mercury.

IMPORTANT TO SCHOOLMASTERS,--A
mechanic in America has invented a machine for semina-
ries, which by means of steam not only warms the room,
but flogs the boys on a graduated scale, according to their
offences.—American Paper.—[Well done, Jonathan;
the schoolmaster and steam are unquestionably on the
march," if this be true.]
