THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

-~_---

CITY: TWELVEO'CLOCK.

The arrivals this morning being few, and of-no material im-
portance, the public attention is entirely occupied with reading the
debates of last night in the House of Commons, and which have
again been adjourned to this day.
During the early part of yesterday the funds were buoyant.
Consols reached 92* for the Account, but towards the close of the
market they rather gave way, and left off at 92 and 91i for
Money.
This morning Consols are more firm, and opened at 92 to * for
the Account, and 91i for Money, with little doing at present.
The public and monied interest are waiting for Sir R. Peel's

speech.
Exchequer Bills, 39-40 ; India Bonds, 19-21.
The Foreign Market also closed at lower prices than in the early
part of the day, and opened this morning, Spanish, at 5611 i;
Spanish Scrip improved to Si ; Columbia, 42i ; Portuguese
firm at 94.1 f 95. The Dutch mad brings the of 24 per Cents. at
55i; 5 per Cents., 1004 1014.
Up t 6 the present hour we have no further reports in the City
respecting Ministers, but it is generally understood, that although
they will be defeated in the division of the House, they are still
determined to maintain their places. This has had the effect of
keeping up the funds with the monied interest.
HALF-PAST ONE.
Up to the present hour we have a dead calm in the City, not
even a single report to communicate at present ; all eyes are now
fixed towards the expected division which is to take place in the
House of Commons this evening, which has greatly agitated the
minds of the public for these three days past.
Consols continue firm at 92 for money ; for the Account, 924,
with little doing.
In the Foreign Market the chief speculation this morning was
in Columbian Bonds, which have improved 2 per cent., owing to
the reported recognition of the above State by the Spanish Go-
vernment.
Spanish Bonds, 654 a ; Spanish Scrip, SS 4pm ; Portuguese
Bonds, 944 i; Columbian, 434 ; Dutch, 24 per Cent., 55i 6 to 4 ;
Exchequer Bills, 40 41 ; India, 20 21; 24 per Cents., 55i ; 5 per
Cents., 101 4.
The only arrival is a Dutch mail.

MAGAZINES-(CONTEYUED.)

THE AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL

MAGAZINE. Cochrane and Co.

There are some clever papers on trade, commerce, and
agriculture in this Magazine, and some useful remarks on
the prices and profits of capital and labour. The cost of
purchase, which is only two-penee, is so trifling as to place
it within the reach of the poorest artizan.

AN ENCY CL OP2ED IA OF GARDENING.
Part XVIL Longman and Co. . _

We have so repeatedly recommended the object and exe-
cution of this excellent work, that we believe it is quite un-
necessary for us to do more than announce its appearance.
When completed, it will form one of the most perfect
treatises ever written on the subject of Gardening. The
engravings are numerous and handsomely executed.

THE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.
Longman and Co.
There is an evident improvement in the general character
of this Magazine. The contributors to it are all men of
great ability in their profession, and the subjects of which they
treat, of the first importance to Architects. The " Mode
of Securing Decayed Flooring and Partitions," is a valuable
paper on a subject important to all owners and occupiers of
houses. The designs are numerous and well delineated.

THE FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY REVIEW.

Sherwood and Co.

This is a capital Number. Both in matter and in gene-
ral interest, it is superior to any of its predecessors. The
" Essay" on one of the sources of human happiness, the
Tale of the " White Apron," and the " Scenes" in Ame-
rica, are each excellent of its kind. The Masonic Institu-
tion is honoured by the support of such an able and
intelligent advocate.

THE LITERARY UNION. A MONTHLY
MAGAZINE. Williams, Soho.
As the present is but the second Number of this periodi-
cal, we feel a delicacy in expressing other than a most
favourable opinion of it. We cannot, however, say much
for it as yet. The best paper in this number is one on
party spirit, which we read with much pleasure.

THE ANALYST.—Simphin and Marshall.

Our provincial friend, " The Analyst," is really growing
up a fine fellow ; although still somewhat graver than we
think becoming a person at his time of life. We hail the
first flight of " Lionel Lockland" as propitious. Let him
only take care that he does not soar too high—a fault, by
the way, very common of late. The reviews and literary
notices are both numerous and tastefully executed.

THE MONTHLY REPOSITORY. Fox.

This is a lighter and more agreeable number than any of
its predecessors for the last six months. " High Church
and Conventicle, a Sectarian Dialogue," is well executed ;
and the "Sketches of Domestic Life" are caustic to a degree
unusual, even with Mrs. Grimstone. The castigation which
is given to Sir R. Peel for his pugnacious propensities will
not be overlooked by the public. The accompanying observa-
tions are still more novel, more striking, and more universally
intelligible. " Chinese Politics," is amusing—nothing
more. As a satirical sketch, it is deficient in keenness and
gravity ; as a.broad joke, it lacks humour and point ; and
as a tirade against party, it is deficient in strength. The
literary notices are not so numerous as usual, but they are
equally well-written.

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

Sinapkin and Marshall.

" Saunter of Castle Saunter" is the most amusing article
in this number. The style, the mode of expression, and
the peculiarities of thought, indicate the presence of the
author of " Sir Chippin Porrage," or our critical discern-
ment is not quite so unerring as we have sometimes ima-
gined it to be. The death of old Sir Simon Saunter is
really a capital idea, just sufficiently worked out. Nor is
the moral less striking than its quaint humour. The " Duel"
in " Scenes from the Life of Edward Lascelles Gent." is
too extravagant, even for an Irish boatswain on board the
Emerald. The most remarkable literary production we have
met with for some time is the article headed " What is an
Orangeman ?" The object of the writer is to show that
the Orangemen are the most pious, the most loyal, the
most constitutional, and at the same time the most grossly
calumniated body in the British Empire. For this purpose
he enters into a brief analysis of the objects of Orangeism,
and closes with an account of the forms gone through at
the initiation of those who are admitted as members.
Now, much as we disliked Orangeism before, we protest
we are now a thousand times more opposed to it odpurely re-
ligious grounds ; and we are astonished to find that any clergy-
man of the Church of England could so far forget his sacred
duty as a minister of the Gospel as to assist at such orgies.
It is a profanation of the word of God—a sacriligious abuse
of the most excellent of his gifts to man—to have it so much
as named in the celebration of rites, the object of which is
clearly to kindle dissensions, and hatreds, and religious ani-
mosities among the people. There is no mistaking this fact,
if the tree is to be judged by its fruits.
The present number of this able periodical is rather
heavy. " Rambling Recollections" would please us better
if it were longer. Toryism can boast of few champions
more devoted to its cause than Anthony Poplar.

Lord Nugent, the late Lord High Commissioner of
the lonian Islands, with his lady and suite, arrived at Mivart's
Hotel on Tuesday evening, from Corfu. His Lordship has
been absent from England three years, and during the short
interval between the Noble Lord's departure and the arrival of
his successor, Major-General Sir Howard Douglas, the func-
tions of Government were confided to Major-General Sir
Alexander Woodford.

LORD DURHAM.—We are sure it will afford the
country great satisfaction to be informed that a considerable
improvement has taken place in the health of this distinguished
and patriotic Nobleman since his return to the North. We
understand his Lordship ha's recently visited Sunderland and
Newcastle, and is daily regaining his former strength and ac-
tivity.—Durham Chronicle.}
The Ministry will undoubtedly fall. If not, Sir
Robert Peel will go mad, or die of nervous fever. I recol-
lect his constitution. He is suffering tmore at this moment,
than tongue can tell. A small cause would lay him on his
back, never to rise again. Ido not mean that he is physically
feeble, but mentally sensitive, and he has much to saw his
nerves at present.--Morning Paper.
PORT OF HuLL.—We perceive by a return just
printed at the request of Mr. Hutt, M. P. for Hull, that the
number of British vessels entered inwards last year, at that
port, from the Colonies and foreign countries, was 894, and
their tonnage 168,940; and that the number of Foreign ves-
sels was 626, and their tonnage 59,904.
PARIS FASHIONS.—In Paris the velvet hats are
now replaced by satin • the sides come down low on the face.
Straw-coloured silk and lilac are the vogue at present. Satin
capotes, with green flowers, are much worn also. The inside
of the bonnet is lined with blond ; bows and bouquets of very
small flowers.

" THE GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY."—III the
cause, " Doe on the Demise of Smith v. Smart," tried at the
Wilts Assize, the property at stake was worth 1,0001., while
the expenses of the action were 7001. It is said a new tria
is to be moved for, on the ground of " the verdict being against
the weight of evidence in the cause, and against the opinion of
the Judge, who summed up decidedly in favour of the plaintiff,
The Hon. Mrs. Norton, we observe, is about to
devote her brilliant talents to the production of a prose work,
a novel, which, for power and feeling, it is said, will surpass
any work of fiction lately published ; she is acknowledged to
be among the most gifted of our poets, and from a cursory
glance at the early portion of her forthcoming work, we pre-
dict that she will be equally distinguished in her prose compo-
sitions: its appearance will be anxiously looked for by the
public.
Coates undertook to walk forward one mile, wheel
a barrow one mile, run a mile, walk backwards half a mile,
draw a one-horse gig half a mile, run a pair of wheels half a
mile, hop one hundred yards, jump over twenty hurdles or
sticks, of an equal height, each five yards apart, and pick up
fifty stones, one yard apart, in a straight line, and put each
singly into a basket; being nine various feats all within one
hour. He won the match.
RYE.—On Wednesday the 18th ult. a deputation
of members of the Rye Friendly Benefit Society waited lipon
the Rev. R. R. Knott to present him with a handsome silver
salver, on his resignation of the chair of that Society, in conse-
quence of his being about to remove to a curacy at Upper
Clapton, near London. The treasurer, Mr. John Fowle, in
an appropriate speech, referred to the high estimation in which
the Society held the character and services of Mr. Knott, and
begged his acceptance of the testimonial brought by the depu-
iation. The reverend gentleman returned thanks in a suitable
and eloquent address. Another piece of plate is to be pre-
sented to the reverend gentleman on the part of the inhabitants
in general, and the subscription for it already amounts to a con-
siderable sum. He has been for fifteen years an active, zea-
lous and efficient minister in this parish. He was a most atten-
tive and affectionate friend to the sick and the poor, and a most
able and eloquent preacher; and it is therefore no wonder that
the loss of him is deeply felt by the parishioners. Mr. Knott
preached a most impressive and affecting farewell sermon, to
a numerous congregation, on Sunday the 22d ult,

DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE-

(THIS DAY.)

The Committee met at half-past eleven o'clock.
Mr. LONG (the Town-Clerk of Dublin), who was under
examination when we left, underwent a long cross-examination
by the counsel for the sitting Membert He could not posi-
tively undertake to say that he actually saw the execution ,
the affidavit in question. He saw the Lord Mayor administer_
ing some oath to the High Sheriffs, but what the substanceof
it was, he was unable to say. The signatures to the affidavit,
purporting to authenticate the poll, he was certain were the
hand-writing of Arthur Perrin, now Lord Mayor of Dublin,
and of Messrs. Hyndman and Carolan, the present High
Sheriffs.
On this question, viz., whether this was sufficient evidence
to authenticate the affidavit verifying the poll-books, a long ar-
gument ensued, in which Messrs. O'Connell, D. Pollock,
Harrison, nd Wrangham, took part.
The dommittee retired for a few minutes, and on returning
to the Court, the Chairman read the following resolution.'
Resolved :—" That it is the opinion of this Committee,
that the validity of the affidavit has been sufficiently proved."
Mr. O'CONNELL rose to make his application for a CO'
mission, and first called the attention of the Committee to the
Act of Parliament (the 42d Geo. 3. sec. 4, gimp 106) upon
which he proposed to ground that application.
He was proceeding with his motion when we lat.
