THE FUNDS.

The reports in the French Papers of the warlike dispo-
sition and movements of the Austrian army is supposed to
be, by the well-informed in the City, some stock-jobbing
trick, and not the least credit is given to them.
A Mexican mail has arived, sailed on the 27th of Feb.
from Vera Cruz. Also a Dutch mail, which brings the
Dutch Funds, per cent. lower. The private letters state
that the Dutch Head Quarters are not to be removed for
the present.

The estafette from Paris brings the French Rentes
rather lower, 69f. 85c. owing to the warlike reports in
Paris. The cholera is decreasing.
The Mexican Papers and letters received this morning,
by the Mexican mail, only brings a confirmation of what
we had via America, of Santa Anna's sortie, and taking a
convoy of money, but the accounts from Brest state that
of the Bth of March from Vera Cruz, that Santa Anna had
been defeated. Consols opened at the price they left off,

HALF-PAST ONE.
Up to the present hour we have no political news of
importance. Report says that Count Orloff will take his
departure fur the Hague on Saturday week ; therefore we
can have no important news from that quarter until his
arrival there.

Console have continued steady the whole of the morn-
ing at Ssi, alternately buyers and sellers, with little
doing. Mexican Stock has improved ; Dutch and Brazil
much the same as yesterday.

FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE.—This forenoon, a

little before one o'clock, a most determined act of self-
destruction took place on the Surrey side of Waterloo-
bride, near Datuces, the Feathers public-house. During
the morning a❑ elderly gentleman, of very respectable
appearance, was observed to be parading about facing
the Feathers, apparently in much dejection, and several
times he stopped to look at the cats, mice, and birds that are
exhibiting in a cage at the foot of the bridge. Just before
one o'clock he gave WESTON, the man who exhibits the ani-
mals, the price of a pint of porter, and desired him to
fetch it immediately. Scarcely had he turned his
back, when the gentleman took the stool on which
the man had sat, and, placing it on the landing of the
stairs leading down to the Commercial-road, stood upon
it, and deliberately strode over the iron-railings and
dropped, feet first, into the timber-yard of Mr. allows-
'Ng, a height of about seventy feet. The niece of Mr.
DAUM who was in the bar below serving a customer,
saw the whole affair, and witnessed the fall of the unhappy
man. She instantly gave an alarm, and many persons ran
to the spot, when they found him writhing in the
agonies of death, and pieces of his skull and por-
tions of his brain were scattered in every direction.
He was immediately picked up and carried into the Feathers,
where Dr. MENztEs attended. On examination, it was as-
certained that both his arms were broken, as also were his
legs, his skull dashed to pieces, and his eye-balls burst.
On searching his pockets, a few shillings only were found,
and a butcher's bill, by which it appeared that the
name of the unhappy gentleman is Pond, and that
he was living upon his property in Camden Town;
and just before lie committed the dreadful act be
had visited his two maiden sisters, ladies residing in
Bedford-street, Covent-garden. At present no cause can
be assigned for the rash deed. An inquest will be held o❑
the body to-morrow. Tin deceased was a single man.
