THE FUNDS.

The private letters from Brussels, in a Morning Journal,
state that the Belgian General at Antwerp has given an
answer to General Chasse, who commands the citadel, i❑
respect to his threatening to bombard the city, which
was as follows :—" That the Belgians would answer
his call, and fire on the citadel." Also that some
of the inhabitants are leaving Antwerp, and the Dutch
army was advancing. All this has greatly alarmed our
city politicians and speculators, who imagine that
they hear already the sound of the Dutch cannon ;
but the well-informed are still of opinion, that it is
only war's alarms, and that no hostilities will tak? place ;
and hail any event of importance taken place, we
should have known it direct from Antwerp. At
all events it has had some influence upon the Funds.
Consols which left off yesterday at 844 for the Account,
opened at 841; soon after there were sellers at the above
prices, and at present theyare 844 a with a heavy market.
The express from Paris brings the Three per Cents.
20 cents lower ; 69f. 55c. The papers do not contain any
political news of importance. Up to the present hour we
have no information from the theatre of war in Portugal.
In the Foreign market the Dutch Funds are rather
lower. In other Foregin Securities nothing doing as yet.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The opinion that hostilities of a serious description will
take place between the Dutch and Belgians at Antwerp
does not gain ground in the City ; and the well.inforened
assert, that the Five Powers will not suffer either of the
parties to go to war.
Consols, which receded in the early part of the day to
84i for Money, are at present 84 for the Account.
In the Foreign Market nothing is doing, except in
Dutch Stock, which is about it per Cent. lower.

We understand that Earl GREY and the LORD
CHANCELLOR will return from the North the beginning
of next month at the latest. Sir HENRY PARNELL re-
turns to London from Ireland early next week, and, ru-
mour says, joins the Administration, probably as Chairman
of Ways and Means.—Morning Paper.

Nobility, say the Aristocracy, is the inter-
medium between the KING and the people: true—just as
a sporting dog is the intermedium between the sportsman
and the hare.—Afirabeau's Letters.

A coach-proprietor with the infelicitous name
of ONSLOIV, has been advertising expeditious travelling on
the northern road.

The novelty of two sisters married on the
same day attracted a great crowd of persons to Trinity
Church, Marylebone, yesterday morning. The brides
were the daughters of the late ALEXANDER DAVIDSON,
Eig., of Chesterfield-terrace, in the Regent's Park. The
bridegrooms were Captain COOK and General WHITE.
A Correspondent begs to ask the following
questions :—Was not the Aberdeen city election made a
matter of long and grave deliberation with the Conser-
vatives in London. Was it not determined by them to op-
pose Mr. ALEXANDER BANNERMAN ; and did not the
placard posted up in Aberdeen, (requesting the electors
not to pledge themselves, as a candidate of liberal prin-
ciples was coming forward, &c.) emanate from that
quarter, and allude to the candidate whom they intended
to send forth ? Were there not four individuals selected
for this purpose? Was not the first a wealthy country
gentleman, a Tory, of course, and formerly a merchant,
who declined the proffered honour ; the second, another
rich laird, retired from business, who also refused this mark
of confidence; the third, a gentleman who gave equally
strong reasons for not acceding to the proposition ; and the
fourth, Provost HADDEN ? Was not the discussion held
by the Conservative Club on this subject enriched by the
reading of much correspondence from various political
worthies of this town and county, who took a warm in-
terest in the matter ? Has it been hinted, that unless the
Tory candidate can obtain a certain proportion of the votes
—perhaps a fourth—no part of his expenses will be de-
frayed by the Conservative Club ; and would not this, in
some measure, account for the zeal and pertinacity shown
in a struggle which every one has so long considered as
desperate ?—Aberdeen Herald.
