THE FUNDS.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 83j, opened at 838,
since which they have improved to 848, and for next
account 844, by which it is supposed that the prices come
higher from Paris. Belgian Scrip 1 per cent.

RALF-PAST ONE.

As yet nothing has transpired in regard to an express
from Paris in the city, but by the operations in the Funds
this morning we should imagine that an express has ar-
rived to some of the operatives, as the party who sold at
the beginning of the week for French Account has been
purchasing, which has improved the Funds as well as the
jobbers, who have large calls against them, and are al.o
purchasing. No political news has yet transpired, there-
fore, had any event of importance occurred, no doubt we
should have bad several expresses from the French capital.
Report says that a number of the Anti-Reform Peers in-
tend resigning should the King make new Peers.
Consols have been fluctuating during the morning from
83i to 84, at present they are 84i.

OLD LONDON-BRIDGE.—It is well known
that PETEA, of Colechurch, the founder of Old London-
bridge, did not live to witness the completion of the
structure, but died in 1205, and was buried in a crypt
within the centre pier of the bridge, over which a chapel
Was erected, dedicated to St. THOM AS-A-BECKET. Mr.
BRAY LEY, in his " Londiniana," wrote, about five years
since, that " if due care be taken when the old bridge is
pulled down, the hones and ashes of its venerable architect
may still be found ;" and, true enough, the bones of old
PETER were found on removing the pier about a fortnight
since. —Mirror.
A meeting of the subscribers to the Liverpool
and Birmingham Railway took place on Friday, at the
Clarendon-rooms, Liverpool. It was numerously and
respectably attended. Joine Moss, Esq., was called to
the Chair, after which the report was read,
detailing the
proceedings of the Committee. It decided on the rail-
way commencing at Warrington, where it would vir-
tually join the Liverpool and Manchester railway, and
terminating at Birmingham, such an arrangement being
necessary to embrace all the wants of the northern
manufacturing towns. The length of the line from War-
rington to Birmingham will be about 14 miles; from
Warrington to Liverpool about 19 ; to Manchester about
21 ; making the total distance fretn Liverpool to Birming-
ham about 93 miles.—Liverpool Times.—[There is evi-
dently a gross mistake in this paragraph, which has been
copied into all the London Papers. The distance from
Warrington to Birmingham only 14 miles! 74 miles
would be far more likely.—En. Sun.]
A short time previous to our going to press
we received intelligence that the dwelling-house, offices,
and out-houses of O'REILLY, Esq., of Kildare,
brother to the High Sheriff of that county, had been
burned to the ground by some law ess and daring incen-
diaries. The cause assigned for this outrage is, that Mr.
O'REILLY paid the amount of tithes demanded from him.
Our informant states the loss of property and damage done
to be enormous, but we hope, on further inquiry, to find
this an exaggeration,._ Carlow Morning Poet.
