TII E FUNDS.

The speech of the Duke of Wellington in the House of
Lords last night rather excites attention in the city this
morning, owing to his having entirely falsified the speech
of Casimir Perier, in regard to the affairs of Belgium. We
shall be anxious to ascertain how his Grace's speech will
be received by the French Ministry, and the comment
on it by the French Journals ; it will require great—their
greatest exertions to get out of the mire. This disclosure
has had some effect on the Funds this morning. Consols,
which left off yesterday at 8354,N for the Account, opened
at 833 j sellers; since which they have receded to 8314 ;
and for Money 83. Some Money Stock has again conic
to Market.

We do not hear as yet of the arrival of a❑ express from
Paris, although it is hourly looked for.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.

We hear that a commercial express has arrived from
Paris : its contents have not transpired, and we may
therefore presume they are not of much importance.
The only transaction of magnitude in the Funds during
the morning, was the sale of 50,000/. Consols, en account
of a gentleman who died in Scotland, and left 57 natural
children. Having died without a will, all his property
goes to an old sister. The duty paid to Government on
his will exceeds 12,000/. At present no business is doing
in the House. Consuls, which were in the early part of
the morning at 83 for the Account, may at present he
quoted 83 a, and 83 a, for money. In the Foreign
Market Dutch Stock and Belgian Scrip are not quite so
good as yesterday. In the Foreign Scuiities nothing
doing.

Sir Walter Scott is still at Naples. He is
improved in health, although still looking much indisposed. It
is his intention to go to Greece and to Venice, which city he is
particularly desirous of seeing. Sir Walter will not pay Rome
a visit for the present.

THE " APPRENTICE-BOYS" OF DERRY.-
The following is Lord Londonderry's answer to these " young
hopefulz:." It will be seen that the Noble Lord carefully avoids
telling how his Majesty received the address :
" Holdernesse House, March 3, 1832.

" Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acquaint you that the
address to the King, which you were pleased to place in my
hands, was presented by me to his Majesty, at the levee, on
Wednesday, the 9th ult. 1 remain always your very faithful
servant, "VANE LONDONDERRY."

" The Apprentice-Boys of Londonderry."
MR. O'CoNNELL.—The day on which Mr.
O'Connell makes his public entry into Cork is not yet known;
but we are happy to perceive that the note of preparation is
sounding in all quarters. Yesterday, over 300 tradesmen met
at the Mechanics' Institute, in pursuance of an invitation from
the Committee. The best spirit prevailed. An adjourned
meeting was held in the evening, at which the trades ballotted
to determine the order of precedence. The amount received
in this city yesterday for the national annuity to the Liberator
is close up to 6001.: the returns are not yet completed. In
the country places the collections at the chapels are stated to
have been extremely bountiful.—Cork Chronicle.
AIR. O'CoNNELL.—We perceive by a cor-
respondence between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Lyons, in the
Cork Papers, that the former will accept of the compliment of
a public entry into the capital of his native province on St-
Patrick's Day. Want of space compels us to postpone the
publication of the correspondence between these gentlemen.—
