THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CL 0 CK.
No arrivals this morning either of foreign mails or ship
letters, consequently up to the present hour we have no
political information to communicate.
The Funds, which left off rather heavy yesterday after-
noon, at 85i a for the account, opened at the same price
this morning; at present they may be quoted 85i, with
little doing. The speculators are waiting the arrival of
the express from Paris to ascertain the prices of the French
stocks.

In the House of Lords last night it would appear as if
they were working the Reform Bill by stetni, twenty-six
clauses were knocked down in one lot, without opposition,
and in the whole, forty•six clauses were passed.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.

HALF-PAST 024 E.
Up to the present time, we in the city have no express
from Paris, but one has gone to the west end.
Consols have been heavy since the early part of the
morning, when they were 853 for the account, since which
they have been done at 85i, and 85 for money ; at pre-
sent they are 853- a,with little or nothing doing.
A great scarcity of money still prevails, and there are
great Bulls of Stock in the house.

We have neither reports nor political news of any irr,
portance. _

The Foreign Market continues without the least interes.
-prices much the same as yesterday.

COTTON ITSELF AGAIN.—it is stated in the
commercial latter from Liverpool, that " Cotton has ex-
perienced the reviving effects of Lord GaEy's restoration ;
the demand for it has been extensive, and the sale has
amounted to 3,000 bags ■nd upwards." From this it
appears that under Lord GaEY, cotton is cotton; but that
during the late political struggle it changed its nature, and,
sharing the fate of the Duke of WELLINGTON, was
worsted.—The

COOKE, the actor, one night, leaving a party
rather intoxicated, in company with a friend, was passing
down Greek-street, and, rubbing his band along all the
palisades and shutters as he marched, came in contact with
the recently-painted new front of a coachmaker's shop,
from which he obtained a complete handful of wet colour.
Without any explanation as to the cause of his anger, be

A gentleman once made his debut at Covent-
garden Theatre in Othello; Mr. HULL played Oration°.
In the last scene, the new actor, naturally bewildered on
such an occasion, had neglected to provide himself with a
dagger with which to kill himself, and before he recol-
lected this oversight, had got as far in his concluding
speech as " I took by the throat the circumcised dog,"
when, almost at his wit's end for something to "smite
him" with, he looked round, saw a drawn sword in Mr.
Hines hand, and snatched it by way of substitute for
the weapon he ought to have had. It happened to be a
true Toledo, and indeed a very sharp one; and on
Othello's abruptly seizing it, Mr. HULL, in most benevo-
