THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The agitation and confusion which prevail this morning in
the Foreign Market is exceedingly great ; the brokers and
speculators are at a stand still, not knowing how to act in set-
tling their accounts: and the prices of the Spanish Stocks
having come considerably lower from Paris has thrown a
greater gloom on the Market. The prices at present of the
Foreign Securities are nominal ; 30,000 Spanish Scrip at the
opening of the Market was done for the next account at six
per cent., discount ; Spanish Bonds, no price quoted, nominal,
50 ; Spanish Scrip, no price as yet, about to 6, discount ;
Portuguese, 921
This is settling day in the Consol Market; they are busy
in making up their accounts, which it is expected will go off
well, the fluctuations during the Account not being to a great
extent.

Consols, which left off at 91 k, opened at the same price ;
Exchequer Bills, 22 23; in India Bonds there was no price;
Bank Stock, 212 213.
We hear that a Committee is to take place at the Stock
Exchange, at 12 o'clock, to ascertain what is to be done with
the accounts. The Great Capitalist has also sent for two of
the principal Brokers from the House, to consult with them on
the subject of an arrangement.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The Foreign market continues in the same gloomy state as
In the early part of the morning. It is stated that a deputa-
tion from the Stock Exchange has waited on the City Capi-
talist, who consented to take in stock for a fortnight.

The Consol Account is going off well. We do not hear of

Mustapha, Paella of Adrianople, is about to be
married to the Sultan's second daughter.

A soldier of the Mahometan regiment of cavalry,
in garrison at Sochwgew, who, like most of his comrades, was
wholly ignorant of the Polish language, and knew very little
of the Russian, asked a,butcher whether an article in his shop
was fish ? The butcher understanding the soldier to ask
whether the meat was good, answered in the affirmative. The
soldier made the purchase ; but, on eating it with his com-
rades, found out the mistake. Now, as it happened to be a
very rigorous Mahometan fast-day„ these bigotted people
thought they had committed a mortal sin, into which the
butcher had led them out of malice. They immediately has-
tened to the butcher's shop, and in their fanatical rage com-
mitted many excesses. The officers, however, restored order;
and the offenders, as we hear, have been sent from the regi-
ment, to be punished in a fortress.--Franifort Paper, May 21.
A few nights since an armed party of eight or ten
persons attacked the house of Mr. Parker, at Briskay, near
Limerick. The fellows broke in three windows, and fired
several shots into the bed-room, fortunately without effect.
Mr. Parker's coat, which hung on a rail at the foot of the bed
in which he slept, was perforated in eight places. —lrish Paper.
INCENDIARY FIRES.—We have much regret in
stating that two incendiary fires took place during last week
at Seaford, about ten miles east of Brighton. The one oc-
curred at a farm called Chinfing, in the occupation of T. W.
Chambers, Esq., the other at a farm, the property of Charles
Harrison, Esq , and in the occupation of Mr. Buckwell. No
doubt is entertained of their being the work of some mis-
creant, but, we are sorry to add, no clue has yet been disco-
vered of the perpetrator.

INCENDIARISM IN BELGIUM.-BRUSSELS, MAY
23.—A legal investigation has been made into the cause of
the terrible fire which took place two days ap:o at Gummei-
ages, and the result shows it was the act of an incendiary.
There is every reason to hope that the authors of this crime
will be discovered. The damage done is estimated at above
60,000 francs.

PETRIFACTION.---A perfect specimetrof geologi-
cal transformation was discovered at Sandgate a few days ago.
A tree, 14 feet long, the fibres of which bespeak it to have
been either of the cedar species or a sapling oak, was found
irnbeded in the Sand stone rock, 20 feet from the surface.
A portion of the specimen has been deposited at the King's
Arms Library, and distinctly exhibits a petrifaction of the
timber, combined with a substance of Kentish rag-stone.—
