THE FUNDS.

The only arrival this morning is the estafette from
Paris ; it is of little importance, with the exception of an
improvement in the Rentes from 66f. 65c. to 66f. 90c.
Also it appears that a fire is again kindling in Italy, which
seems to cause some alarm to the French Ministry, as
well as the affairs of Portugal. Austria, no doubt, does
not wish for France to interfere in the Roman States, and
France does not like Austria to have too great a predomi-
nance in Italy; therefore we may conclude that they are
watching each other with an evil eye ; should another
revolution take place in that quarter, no one can foresee
how it will end.

Consols opened at the same price they left off at, SSi i,
since which they have been done at 83i, with little or no
business doing.

In the Foreign Market the Belgian Scrip maintains the
price of yesterday, 4 to 1.
We hear that the leaving off price of the French Funds
was 67f. 20c.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We are informed from a valuable private channel, that
the present state of negotiations upon the Belgian ques-
tion is in a favourable way of adjustment, and which in a
very short period will put an end to all fears of misunder-
standing between the Powers, and so effectually consoli-
date the peace of Europe, that no impedimenta will exist
any longer to a general disarmament. We attach the
more eonfideneeto the information, as our former com-

munications from the same source were generally correct.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning
at 83 for the Account, have improved to 84i, owing
to a general report on the Stock Exchange that the affairs
of Holland have been settled. Belgian Scrip at 1 pm.
We hear to-morrow is a holiday at the Stock Exchange.

We have just seen the last published number

usual, and contains an amusing caricature.
THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—The article which
appears in the present number of the " New Monthly
Magazine," on the " Temper of the House of Lords," in-
vestigates the causes of that decline of oratory, which,
notwithstanding the pre-eminent powers of speaking pos-
sessed by some Members of the present Upper House, has
really taken place in that Assembly—a decline which, in
fact, has been in progress ever since the time of Sir ROBERT
WALroi.E. The same paper conveys some interesting in-
dividual remarks on the respective Parliamentary tone and
influence of Lords GREY, BROUGHAM, ABERDEEN, LON-
DONDERRY, ELLRNBOROUGH, and WicxLow.

COUNTY OF KILKENNY.--A report is in
town that a considerable display of ‘• hurlers" was made
yesterday in several parts of the county of Kilkenny, and
some rumours are afloat that more than one conflict took
place between them and the soldiery. Government has
received an express with some account of the transaction ;
but the particulars are kept in profound secret, at the office
in the Castle to which it had been forwarded.—Dublin

Within the last few days many of the diplo-
matic agents of foreign Powers, both accredited and un-
accredited, to the British Government, have had frequent
interviews with some of the Members of the late Adroinis.

in the Upper House on the foreign policy of the present
Administration.

OLD 13AILEY.-(THIS DAY.)
_ OLD COURT.

This morning these Sessions commenced before the
Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Justice PARR, Mr.
Justice J. J. PARKS, and Mr. Biron BOLLAND.

Jane Anderson, a young woman having a child in her
arms, was indicted for stealing a clock from the dwelling-
house of Messrs. Wells and Dunning, the proprietors of a
public-house in Marylebone, called the Admiral. It ap-
peared that this was one of the species of robbery so pre-
valent of late in public-houses. On the day named in
the indictment. the prisoner, accompanied by a man, went
into the Admiral ; the man stood at the bar drink-
ing, and engaging the persons there in conversation,
and the prisoner went into the parlour, from which
she shortly afterwards returned and left the house,
without speaking to the man as she passed. He waited,
suspecting she bad something very bulky under her cloak,
pursued her and brought her back, when the parlour clock
was found under her cloak. She was then given into cus-
tody, and in the mean time the man made his escape.
The Jury found het Guilty ofstealing under the value of 5/.
James Moore was indicted for stealing in the dwelling
house of John Corbin a silver watch, a silver snuff-box, a
case of instruments, and other articles, his property ; also
for stealing some gold pins, a silver pen, and four shillings,
the property of John Henry Corbin.
Mr. John Corbin stated that he was a licensed victualler,
in Henry-street, Portland New Town. On the evening of
the 21st of December his servant had occasion to
go up stairs to the first floor back room; she found
the door fast, and heard some one in the room; she gave
an alarm, and the witness went into the yard with a
candle, when he saw the prisoner drop from the window
of the room into the yard ; he had no boots or shoes on,
and on endeavouring to escape through the house he was
secured by Corporal Harrison, a soldier. On going
into the bed-room, witness found that the prisoner
had gained admittance by breaking the venetian
blind of the window. A desk and a box were on the bed,
having been forced open by a chigoe], and all the articles
enumerated in the indictment taken out. Several of the
articles were found lying about, and a phosphorus-box was
found on the floor.

John Henry Corbin, the son of the preceding witness,
enumerated the various articles which belonged to him, and
had been taken out of the desk.

Joseph Harrison, corporal in the Royal Horse Guards,
was, ou the night of the 21st of December, at Mr. Corbin's
house, when there was an alarm of a man being in the
bed-room ; he went into the passage, and seized the pri-
soner coming into the house from the back yard.
Mary Harrington, servant to Mr. Corbin, stated that
on the evening of the 21st of December, about half-past
eight o'clock, her mistress sent her up stairs with a bonnet
and shawl ; she was going to put them in the bed-room,
when she found some person was holding the door. She
called, " Who's there :" and, receiving no answer, she
raised an alarm. She afterwards went into the room, and
found a great many things strewed about.
Richard Dullandy, police constable, received the prisoner
from Corporal Harrison ; on searching him he found a
silver pen-case, the lid of an ink-bottle, and three shillings
—the prisoner bad neither shoes or hat on. His shoes
were found in the back yard.
The prosecutor identified the articles found en the
Prisoner as part of the property taken from the desk and
box. The watch, snuff-box, some gold pins, and several
other things were still missing.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of the capital offence.
