THE FUNDS.

Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, R 4
85 for the Account, since which they have improved to 85 !y for
the Account, owing it is said to the prices coming better from
Holland, as well as t• the estafette from Paris being of a pa.
cific tendency.

Up to the present time we have no further news from For.
,ugal.

In the Foreign Market Brazil Stock has improved one-half
Fer cent.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Letters have been received from Pernambuco of the 29th
July ; all was then quiet there, and the Exchange had im-
proved to 39. Consols, which were done in the course of the
morning at 85 are at present 84 Ts 85 for the Account, with
little doing.

This is settling day in the Foreign Market, consequently
they are busy in settling their accounts. Brazil Stock is rather
better. Portuguese Scrip 414 to 4 discount.
THREE O'CLOCK.

Consols 841 SO for Account.

The accounts received by Government from
Oporto confirm what has been stated of the breaking up
of a portion of the militia, and the return of the men to
their homes, and state that it will be utterly impossible
for the army of AllanEn to make a successful attack upon
Oporto if it be well defended.—Morning Herald.
The mild Hindoos at Madras, taking advan-
tage of a native festival, have been amusing themselves
with breaking the heads of one another; those belonging
to the right-hand caste attack4ig their brethren of the left
hand, and vice versa. Our informant states that this dis-
pute, which is one of very old standing, had assumed a se-
rious!), threatening aspect, there being not less than
50,000 combatants ranged on each side. The peace of
the Black Town has been accordingly disturbed, and the
interference of the police has been called for and afforded,
in consequence of which there are now fewer broken heads
amongst the natives than was at first anticipated.—

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S the last

note to the last published volume of the Waverley Novels,
in illustration of the words--" The Image of Bevis lies
carved at his master's feet, on the tomb which was erected
to the niernory of Sir HENRY LEE of Ditchley," is related
the following interesting anecdote:—" It may interest some
readers to know, that Bevis, the gallant hound, one of the
handsomest and must active of the ancient Highland deer-
hounds, had its prototype in a dug called Maida, the gift
of the late chief of Glengarry to the author. A beautiful
sketch of him was made by EDWIN LANDSEER, and after-
wards engraved. I cannot suppress the avowal of some
personal vanity when I mention, that a friend, going
through Munich, picked up a common snuff- box, such as
are sold for one franc, on which was displayed the form of
li a veteran favourite simply marked as Der leblung hund
von WALTER SCOTT. Alr. LAN'DSEER'S painting is at
Blair-Adam, the property of my venerable friend, the
Right Hon. Lord Chief Commissioner ADASI."
THREE OF THE SEVEN-SLEEPER FAMI-
LY AT Dusznituar. --Yesterday a singular complaint was
lodged at the Police-office, College-street. R. WHELAN,
steward, gardener, and gate-keeper of G. AlEvi.Eit, Esq.,
of Lionel Lodge, Dundrum, stated, that he, his wife and
daughter, all sleep together in the gate lodge; that on
awaking last Thursday morning they found themselves all
tied together by the hands and feet ! On extricating
themselves, with considerable difficulty, they found that
the door had been burst open, and that a box, which lay
on the top of their bed, had been emptied of four of their
waster's best shirts, a number of silk handkerchiefs, vests,
trousers, table-cloths, a quantity of ladies' apparel, and some
of their own clothes, all of which had been placed there
preparatory to the weekly washing about to be undertaken,
WHELAN, at the gate-lodge. The three
as usual, by Mrs.
sleepers severally declared that they did not even dream
about any of the circumstances of the theft, the housebreak-
ing, or their own bondage ; further, that the family is
Dot addicted to sleep-walking, or to taking their " ptisan"
particularly strong over night.—Dublin Paper..
