THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, HALF-PAST ONE.

A letter is in town by the last Dutch arrival, stating
that the Dutch Minister of War, on hearing the arrival o'
some of our frigates off the Dutch coast, went immediately
to the King, and informed him of their appearance. His
Majesty's answer was, " I will die with my people." I;
his Dutch Majesty continues in that resolution some warm
work may be expected.
It is now ascertained that Don Miguel has been sup-
plying the Duchess of Berry with money to stir up a re-
solution in France, and the needful was sent to Miguel
by Russia.
Consols have continued the whole of the morning at
83i 4 for the Account.
Nothing doing in the Foreign Market.
THREE O'CLOCK-
Consols for Account, 83i

We have been informed, and from a source
upon which we can rely, that during this week no loss
than 3,100 men have been sent off to Oporto : viz. from
Belgium, 1,000: from Boulogne, 600 ; from L'Orient,
900; from Glasgow, 600.

Indifferent samples were lower, some selling at 61. 10s.,
but fair qualities maintained their price; 81. was obtained
for good lots. The future price will much depend upon
the declaration of the duty, which, in London yesterday,
wls quoted at 127,0001.
DREADFUL MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S
COUNTY. —The steward of Mr. TRENCH, of Brockla Park,
near Stradbally, was most barbarously murdered on Mon-
day night, about 9 o'clock, on his way home from Strad-
bally. About twelve months since Mr. TnEscit received
a notice ordering him to part with the man in question.
No other cause is assigned for the atrocious &ed.—
Dublin Times.

PARENTAL CARE.—On Sabbath week, a
Hibernian called at the house of one of the Recorders of this
city, inquiring if be was within, and on being answered
in the affirm+tive, rejoined, that " he wished the ground
broken for a funeral." On being interrogated as to his
great hurry of having it done on Sunday, he replied,
" Hurry, d'ye say, in throth I've rather been taking it
aisy, my dear. It's one of my ebilder that's dead, and
that's some days agone, but ye see I've been so busy that
I'd forgotten it altogether entirely ; hut now I mane to
gie the swate cratur a dacent funeral."—Scotsman.

SWIMMING EVOLUTIONS.- RATISBON,
6.—" We were agreeably surprised to-day with a
somewhat novel spectacle. The 4th (Bavarian) regiment
closed their natatory exercises for the year with the ad-
dition of some ' water manauvres.' Amongst the evolu-
tions they went through, were their springing from a
bridge 16 feet high into the Danube, alternately heels and
head foremost, and afterwards swimming across the river,
with their arms and accoutrements on their backs. Two
divisions then swam, drawing their equipments on small
rafts behind them, up the lower Worth (a tributary
stream), to attack a third, which was posted in a village,
and had thrown out advanced pickets. The assailants
having landed on the opposite bank, dressed themselves
with amazing expedition, and drove in the pickets by
heavy firing across the water. In their turn, however,
their adversaries having marched down in superior num-
bers, with their artillery, they were to take once more to
the water with their laden rafts, protecting their retreat,
as they swam down the river, with a brisk and seemingly
well-directed fire of small arms."— United Service Journal.

SAUGOR ISLAND.gor,in its desert
condition, was the dread of mariners. The stagnant
waters of the retiring tide, stimulating a rank vegetation,
and rotting masses of fallen leaves and branches of trees,
were supposed to give it a pestilential atmosphere, most in-
jurious to the crews of ships anchored near its shores, and
to those who ventured in boats among its creeks; while
such as were bold enough to land, exposed them.elves to a

In case of shipwreck.—A native boat was wrecked on the
south-east coast of Gunga Saugor, in November, 1520;
some of the crew were drowned; the rest, six in number,
swain on shore, but had scarcely reached it when they
were attacked by three tigers, and five of them were de-
voured upon the spot. The sixth had the good fortune to
climb a tree, where he remained two days, till he was see.
