THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Generally of a Monday morning we have a number of arri_
vats, but it is not the case this morning, for we have no ship
letters.
A Dutch mail has arrived, and the estafette from Paris. At
present we do not hear of political news of importance ; by the
former, and by the latter arrival, the informants at Paris send
conjectures and speculations, such as that the King of Prussia is
going to abdicate his throne in favour of his son. This report
was circulated some months since ; indeed, according to the
reading of some of the French Papers, it is warlike, as well as
the accounts from Holland. The Gaze:te of Necker, states that
the reduction of the Austrian army is only insignificant, and
that an autograph letter from the Emperor was sent to the Council
of War, stating that the reduction of the Austrian army was to
be discontinued. The late affitirs Of Italy might have given some
alarm to the Powers on the Continent, who are at present
obliged to keep an Army of Observation, fearing that
the revolutionary principle might spread further, but the
private letters from mercantile houses at Paris continue
tube of a pacific nature, and assert that the Dutch treaty will
soon be ratified.
All political news Is absorbed in the city this morning, by re-
ports of the cholera being at Limehouse, as well as the other side
of the river; we have just seen a gentleman from Limehousc
this morning, who pos tively contradicts the statement.
Our Funds are heavy this morning, owing to the estafette
from Paris.

Consols, which left ofF oti Saturday at 822?.6 34 for account,
opened at 62t4 %, at which price they are at present, and for
money SN, little or nothing doing as yet.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We have made inquiry in regard to the Park report of the
King of Prussia going to abdicate his throne, which is entirely
discredited.

The letters to-day from St. Petersburgh, state that great activity
prevails in the various departments; several couriers Arrived
there in the course of one day, and as many dispatched. It
seems that some active negociation► are going forward, but all is
kept a profound secret.
The cholera mortals in London is still the general topic of
conversation in the city, and has created some alarm, but
we should imagine it is the typhus fever, as this malady is raging
with great severity at Mile-end and its neighbourhood, owing to
the great distress and want of substantial food amongst the
lower classes of society in that populous district ; this has had
some effect on our Funds.

Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 8•2,.
receded to Set% ;at present they are +!•,4 money 82% ;

e understand that Sir PETER PAYNE,
Baronet, M.P. for Beds, who paired off for a few days
with Mr. ASTELL, ALP. for Bridgewater, on account of
the illness of Lady PAYNE, has been further detained from
his place in Parliament by the illness of two of his
daughters, arising from an attack of scarlet fever. He is,
however, expected to resume his place in the House on
Tuesday 14th inst.
The Army Estirnates fi-if the first three
months of 123 have been printed : they are divided into
effective and non-affective. For the first item, the sum
of 901,6311. will be required ; for the second item, the
sum of 729,860/. We cannot but remark on thew two
sums. It here appears that the real army strength of the
nation, compared with :he 4ead-weight attached to it, is
not even at rite to seven ; it is bad enough in the navy,
hut not so grossly so as in the army. In the navy the
effective department stands as two to one to the non-
effective.--Hampshire Telegraph.
CRABBE, the Poo, whose death we recently
announced, left behind hiM, quite finished, a rural poem
of great beauty and simplicity, which is now in the, hands
of Air. MURRAY. Few poets, of the present or, of the
last century, have been mole generally ckd or better on
derstood than CRAIIIIE. Surely it would be extremely
desirable 0, p4,;liali an uniform, complete, and cheap
edition of the whole, to appear periodically in volonns,
after the plan of Lord BYRON'S works, especially if the
edition wo; got up with equal neatness, both of printing
and embellishments; sad rualiiihed 4t as chea4) a ;:kts,
