THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
( From the Jamaica papers of March 30.)
" The Windward Island papers contain little of interest.
The Guiana Chronicle of the 6th March declares that crime
is frightfully increasing in that colony, owing to the leniency
of the stipendary magistrates, and the non-interference of the
Executive."

The monthly returns of the liabilities and assets of the Bank
of England, in the average of three months, to the sth of May
inclusive, has excited some attention in the monetary circles in
the city. It appears that the Bank has not the power of in-
creasing their stock bullion, and the returns prove that the
amount of circulation hhs diminished when compared with the
April return, in the sum of 49,0001., and the deposits in the
sum of 563,000/. ; the Securities have decreased to 464,000/.,
and the stock of bullion decreased 122,0001.
Both the British and Foreign markets left off on Saturday
heavy. Consols closed at 92+ for the Account ; opened this
morning at 921 8. Exchequer Bill: 30 ; India Bonds 11 13 ;
India Stock 216 ; Bank 215} 216.
In the Foreign market great agitation prevailed on Satur-
day, which caused a kind of panic, by the information received
from the North of Spain. The following are the opening
prices of this morning :—Spanish Bonds 694; Scrip bk prem. ;
Portuguese 1011 ; Columbian 47k ; Mexican 471 ; Dutch
2+ per Cents, 531 ; 5 per Cents, 1021
The Seagull, from Vera Cruz, brings a freight of 250,000
dollars. All was quiet in Mexico. _ _ _ _

Accounts from Ilavannah state that there has been a consi-
derable advance in sugar, owing to the backwardness of the
crops.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The Consol market continues steady, and Consols may be
quoted at 924 buyers for the Account, with little doing, as the
chief attention is towards the Foreign market, it being settling
day in the Spanish Passive and Deferred Securities, which
conversions amount to near two millions sterling. It has also
caused continual fluctuations in the Spanish Bonds during the
morning. At present the market is heavily inclined at the
following prices :—Brazilian, 84 1 5 ; Chilian, 52k 3k ; Co-
lombian, 461 4 ; Spanish Bonds, 68k ; Spanish Scrip, 8} .1;
Mexican, 464
Exchequer Bills, 27 ; India Bonds, 10 pm ; India Stock,
9504. ; Bank Stock, 216+.
We have late accounts from the Brazils, and they are not of
a favourable nature. Brazil Stock has fallen 2 per Cent.

THREE O'CLOCK

Co'sole for tie Account, Pe.

Lord John Russell transacted business at the Home
Office on Saturday morning. Notwithstanding the reports
which have been so industriously circulated relating to the
Noble Lord's indisposition, we are happy to state that his Lord-
ship appears in most excellent health and spirits.

DEVON.—The Protestant feeling in Devon is
stronger than in any other county in England, and the most
extraordinary and combined efforts had been made to arouse
that feeling, by sounding the alarm in all quarters. Every
town, village, and hamlet, in South Devon, was inundated
with placards against Popery and O'Connell. Orators every-
where appealed to the passions of the people, and awakened
their fears. Pulpits were freely used for the same purpose.
Sir Thomas Acland lent the whole weight of his talents and
character to the cry, and denounced the projects of Lord John
Russell as tending to introduce Popery upon the ruins of Pro.
testantism.—Devonport Telegraph.

TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.—A public meeting is
announced to be holden this (Monday) evening, at the Me-
chanics' Hall of Science, Commercial-place, City-road, for
the purpose of petitioning Parliament to repeal the whole of
the duties that impede the free circulation of knowledge, Win.
Williams, Esq. M. P. for Coventry, has promised to take the
chair. Several other Members of Parliament are expected to
attend and take part in the proceedings.
REPRESENTATION OF GLASGOW.—Thursday,
on the arrival of the news that there was no chance of Lord
John Russell's success in North Devon, it was pretty currently
whispered among the Liberals on the Exchange, that Mr.
Dunlop might, with honour to himself and advantage to the
community, relinquish his seat for Glasgow in his Lordship's
favour. We have not the slightest wish that Mr. Dunlop
should retire from our
.representation---a more honest and in-
dependent Representative does not occupy a seat in the coun-
cil of the nation ; but if his health really renders him unable
to go through the fatigues of a Parliamentary life, we do not
know, and we cannot conceive, a more favourable opportunity
than what is now offered for his making way for the leader of
the House of Commons, and one of the Ministers of the Crown.
We have long wished to see, at least one of the Members for
Glasgow—the commercial metropolis of Scotland—a Member
of the Administration ; a better or an abler Minister than Lord
John Russell could not represent us.—Scots Times.
