THE CHRISTIAN REFORMER.

The professors of Unitarian Christianity have an able ad-
vocate in this monthly periodical. The Journal relating to
the Birmingham Riots will be read with deep interest.

The friends of Reform in Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
have remitted to their Representative, ( Mr. Ord,) 1231., to
be paid towards the expences of Lord John Russell's election.
An Anti-Tithe Petition has been signed by 968
respectable Presbyterian landholders of the parish of Bally_
nure, in this county. Two individuals alone, in the entire
parish, refused to sign it. Lord Castlereagh's famous state-
ment is working happy effects in other districts of the North
of voll as in that to which it immediately re-
ferred.—Belfast Paper.
LEITIL—The only contested election in Se0:1-.rv.i.
which is exciting interest, is that for Leith. We (the Glas-
gow Courier) are glad to learn that the Sabbath-breaking and
Sunday Dice-rattler, Mr. Murray, has lost many of his former
adherents, in consequence of his Backgammon •playing pro-
pensities on Sunday. Not a few of honourable and right-
thinking men, who are of his politics, and supported him
warmly before, having been equally disgusted at the miserable
non nzi ricordo plea which this pattern of Whig veracity had
the unconscionable impudence to endeavour to humbug them
with at one of his electioneering palavers, have also deserted
his banners.
ATTEMPTED MURDER.--A commercial gentleman
was recently shot at by a highwayman about 10 o'clock at
night, when on his road from Trecostle to Brecon ; the ball
passed through his hat, fortunately without doing him any
personal injury. On the same night three men stopped a gen-
tleman, named Broom, who was returning to Madley from
Hereford on horseback, pulled him from his horse, struck him
a blow on the head which rendered him insensible, and then
robbed him of all the money he had, and a gold locket set with
pearls.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A great scarcity of money prevailed yesterday, and Exchequer
Bills to a considerable amount were brought to market, causing-
them to recede to 345., but were afterwards done at 365. Consols
continued inactive during the whole of the day, at 9.1,i a for money,
and 923 for the Account. The Bank being closed, no money
transactions took place.

Consols opened this morning, at 924 for the Account; Money
92a a ; Exchequer Bills, 34 35 ; India Bonds, 16 17 ; India Stock,
2601 ; Bank Stoek, 217 18.
In the early part of the morning, the Foreign Securities were
buoyant, but towards the close of the Market they gave way, and
left off rather languid.
The Exchange of Amsterdam has experienced a further fall, in
consequence of the price of Dutch Stock being lower in that mar-
ket than in London. It follows that it serves to remit money to
Amsterdam, and buy their stock at a reduced price, and sell the.
same here at a profit.
. .

The Foreign Securities opened this morning at—Spanish Bonds,
70g 4:; Scrip, 10i ; Portuguese, 101 i ; Colombian, 48fr 49.
Our arrivals are few ; only a French mail, with the express from
Paris, and ship letters from Calcutta of Jan. 6. We have no infor-
mation of importance by the express.
Latest prices of the French Funds :-5 per Cents., 108 5 ;
3 per Cents., 82 ; Cortes Bonds, 51* ; Coupons, 32 ; Differes, 22i.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Both the British and Foreign Funds have been languid during
the whole of the morning, with the exception in the Foreign mar-
ket of Columbian Bonds, which receded in the morning to 4%;
since which a reaction has taken place in them, and they have im-
proved to 494 ; Spanish Bonds, 71i ; Spanish Scrip, 10ii ; Por-
tuguese Bonds, 1011 ; Columbian, 481491.
In Consols there is no alteration since the morning price of 921,
with the exception of alternative bufers and sellers at the above
price.

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR MAY.-
We are delighted to observe that Mrs. Hall's natural and
graceful Irish Sketches are resumed in the new number of this
popular Magazine. Now that Miss Edgeworth has quitted
the field, she is without a rival in such subjects. The same
Number contains the continuation of Mr. Hook's " Gilbert
Gurney,"--a charming paper on Wordsworth—Slingsby's
" Scenery and a Scene," in which the writer revels in all the
wildness of a rich and poetic imagination—some very curious
autobiographies of the Spanish Rfugees—more " Records of
the Stage Veteran"—the conclusion of the extraordinary his-
tory of Francia, the Dictator of Paraquay—and a most liu-
mourous quiz el. the melodramatic monstrosities now so po;
Pillar, entitled, " The Battle of the Elephants."

Subscriptions have been set on foot -at Lyme Regis,
Crewkerne, Yeovil, and Taunton, for promoting the re-
election of Lord John Russell, for Devonshire.—Shcrhorne
Journal.

ALARMING FIRE AT BRODIE HOUSE.—
About two o'clock on Sunday morning last, this beautiful old-
fashioned mansion-house narrowly escaped being burned to
the ground. It appears that a large fire had been left in the
kitchen grate, which, in the course of the night, ignited a
beam, at the back of the fire-place, that communicated with
another room, where three servant boys were sleeping. One
of the boys says he dreamed that he was burning, and, terror-
stricken, sprung out of his bed, half asleep, when to his asto-
nishment, he found that the room was completely filled with
smoke, and part of the chamber in a blaze. He immediately
gave the alarm, and a plentiful supply of water having been
obtained, they succeeded, after considerable difficulty, in ex.,
tinguishing the flames.--Aberdeen Advertiser.
