MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

THE FUNDS

The estafette from Paris brings the French Rentes con-
siderably lower, 67f. 10e. This reduction, it is stated,
was owing to a speech of one of the French Ministers,
in which he stated that the Powers of the continent had
refused to disarm. If so, this does not correspond with
the Messager des Chanzbres, received on Saturday, stating
that Soult assured the deputation that they might con-
tinue their operations with security, and that war was not,
likely to take place.
In consequence of the above report our Funds, which
left off on Saturday at 84, opened at 8311 for the account
at which price they are at present.
In the Foreign Market little doing except in Belgian
Scrip, owing to this being the day appointed to pay the
first instalment, and it may be quoted at 1 to ;} premium.

RALF•PAST ONE.

Calcutta Papers have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house to the 10th of August, three days
later. They announce the death of the distinguished
officer, Commodore Sir John Hayes, which took place at
the Cocoa Island, on the 3d ult. Mr. Lindsay, Secretary
to the Select Committee, had come to Canton and found
an opportunity of placing in the hands of a military officer
of distinction the documents and keys of the Company's
premises, which he had offered to the King, but which
they were afraid to present. In this state the affairs re-
mained on the let of June.

Consols still continue rather hesvy at 83i for the ac-
count ; in the early part of the day they were done at
83a
The private letters from Holland are of a contradictory
nature, some are very warlike, while others are pacific,
but it is certain that great preparations are still making,
and it was generally believed that Austria, Prussia, and
Russia were going to take Holland under their protection.

At two o'clock this day a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign-Office, which was attended by
Earl GREY, the Marquis of LaNsnowNE, Lord ALTHORP,
Lord GODERICH, Lord MELBOURNE, Lord PALMERSTON,
the Duke of RICHMOND, the Right Hon• CHARLES GRANT,
and Mr. STANLEY.

The King's State Paper Office, in Great
George-street, Westminster, is now standing in a most
dangerous state. The foundation in front has given way,
and the whole building is supported by shores, which seem
too weak to keep up the impending ruin. Public safety
calls for some attention to this nuisance-

It is a remarkable fact, and well worthy of
notice at a time when the faction is exclaiming that the
tithe opposition will extend to the landlords' demands, &c.,
that the rents of the county of Kilkenny, county Tippe-
rary, &c., were never more easily collected than at the
present moment. The agents of Lords ORMONDE and
NORMA STOWN, have returned from the estates of
those Noblemen in the above named counties, and ex-
press the highest satisfaction at the manner in which
the tenantry have met their call. This is as it
should be. We would blush at either the ignorance
or the dishonesty of our countrymen, if they confounded
the landlord's equitable demand with the outrageous bur-
den imposed on them to maintain the luxurious dignitaries
of a church in the doctrines of which they cannot believe,
and which, did it not bear the name of Christ, the insolent
bearing, the avarice, and the uncharitableness of many of
those dignitaries, would lead them to conclude was any-
thing but Christian.—Kilkenny Journal.

BRISTOL, JAN. I.—The Judges named in
the Commission, Chief Justice TINDAL, BOSANQUET, and
TAUNTON, will be met at Totterdown to-morrow morning
at ten o'clock by the Sheriffs and the javelin-men and
constables, and escorted into the city, when the Commis-
sion will be opened. The Ccurt will then be adjourned
to the following morning., when the trials will be pro-
ceeded with. Sir THOMAS DENMAN, it is understood,
will conduct the prosecntions. The several statements
that have appeared within these few days, relative to the
holding of the Court-martial, are without foundation.
There is little doubt, however, that the Court-martial will
immediately follow the Special Commission. The num-
ber of prisoner (rioters) in the calendar is 112. namely—
For firing and destroying the gaol, 12 ; ditto Bridewell, 5 ;
for ditto and plundering private houses, 81 ; for riotously
assembling, 7 ; for demanding and obtaining by force spi-
rits, beer, &c. from various publicans, 7—total, 112.-
