THE FUNDS.

All the evil reports which were afloat yesterday have
vanished this morning like smoke in the air, in conse-
(pence of which we have an improvement in the Funds.
Console, which left off yesterday at 841 to 85 for the
Account, opened at 85 to k, since which they have been
done at 85k to and for money 85 to k.
The new protscol mentioned in a morning journal this
day seems to give satisfaction in the City, as it leaves a
door open to the King of Holland to arrange all difficulties
with Belgium in an amicable way, giving him an op-
portunity of making, as it were, an honourable retreat.
In the Foreign Market Dutch stock has improved
to Oak. In other foreign securities nothing doing as yet.
The estafitte from Paris still brings distressing accounts
of the deaths by the cholera; 370 died on Saturday.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The Funds, which were on the improvement in the
early part of the morning, have within an hour taken a
change, and receded from 851 down to 84i for the Ac-
count. The real cause of the heaviness of the Market is
not as yet known, but is supposed to be owing to a pre-
vailing opinion, that a change must take
,place in the
French Administration. O:her persons who are well in-
formed seem to think that persons will be appointed to
manage the affairs of Perier and his colleague until they
are entirely recovered. According to the last accounts
received from Paris, Perier's health has much improved.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing at present.
The following bulletin is from the first authority :
" Paris, Sunday Evening.
" Certain news which I have this moment received, in
regard to the health of the President of the Council. in-
forms me that be has passed a very quiet night. He has
taken some food which did hint much good."
Extract of a private letter by the estefette this morn-
ing from Paris, dated April 22 :—" The mortality,
although much diminished, is still frightful ; there were
near 400 deaths yesterday, according to the returns,
which are still suspected of being far from the truth. It
is meladcholy at present to meet a person you have not
seen for a few days, the first question asked is, ' Has any
of your family been attacked ?' In some cases whole fa-
milies have been swept off. There are several streets nearly
deserted, the greater part of the inhabitants being dead."

RHAMPSINITOS, King of Egypt, is recorded
by the " Father of History" to have gone down to hell in
his life-time, and played a game of hazard there with
CEREs, of whom be won a gold hand-basin and took it
home with him.

A gentleman seeing a clergyman, whom he
knew to have been a non-juror, in a better gown and cas-
sock than ordinary, asked him if he had swallowed the
oaths ?—" Yes," said he, " I have ; but I staid until I
had nothing else to swallow."

CHOLERA.—TILE LAW COURTS.—We re-
gret to state that a clerk, named NYSELL, employed in
one of the King's Bench offices, died at an early hour
yesterday of cholera; and that another, named PARKER,
belonging to a Common Pleas office, died on the preceding
evening of the same disease. They were both, we have
heard, of intemperate habit+. We understand that these
deaths led to a deliberation among the Judges whether they
should not adjourn the business of Term until the disease
had subsided.— Cgrk Constitution.

CAMPAIGN IN GERMANY.-Lord Towns-
end, who commanded one of the brigades, as is usual with
Generals on a march, gave a dinner to his officers. When
the soup was served up an universal complaint was made
of its horrid taste. An inquiry was instantly made into
the cause, when it was found that the French, by whom
the place had been occupied as an hospital but two days
before, on retreating, for the purpose of expediting the
interment of their dead, bad thrown many of them into
the wells. The company instantly broke up in disorder;
but old Major Humr, of the 25th Foot, who had been a
soldier from his infancy, and often, no doubt, fared on
viands not the most delicate, proceeded with characteristic
indifference to finish his dinner ; exclaiming, with an
oath, that the soup was good, and that it would have been
better if the whole French army bad been in the water of
which it was made.—Memoirs of Sir James Campbell.
PATRONAGE OF LITERATURE.---.The Rus-
sian Chamberlain, P. N. Drminov, has assigned during
his life-time, and for 25 years after his death, the annual
sum of 20,000 roubles, to be distributed in prizes of 5,000
roubles each, to the authors of the most distinguished
works in Russian literature, which may have appeared in
the course of the year, and another sum of 5,000 roubles
yearly to assist in the printing of approved MSS.—the
'Academy of St. Petersburg to make the selection of the
works. Among these works excluded from competition
are poems, novels, tales, dramatic writings, &c., " on ac-
count of the facility of finding publishers for such writinp,
and the sale which they generally have being sufficient to
reward their authors, even to a greater extent than the
amount of the prizes."—Athenceum.
CONVERSION OF THE JEWS...—It is a very
common opinion that when the Jews are converted the
millennium will commence, and the world hasten rapidly
to its close. Such it would appear was the impression
of a certain old lady in Spitalfields-market, when finding
fault with her son for attending a meeting held some time
ago in behalf of the Society for Promoting Christianity
among the Jews. What is this you have been about
now ?" said she, " Converting the Jews ! a fine story in-
deed. If you go on at this rate the world will be at an
end before we know what we are about." The objection
is somewhat singular, and may amuse where it does not
Convince.
