Lord LYNDHURST availed himself of the opportunity the pre-
sentation of a petition gave him to make an attack on Lord
BROUGHAM, in his absence, and at the same time to defend
himself from the charge of political tergiversation. Their
Lordships then went into Committee on the. Municipal
Corporations' Bill. Lord LYNDHURST moved an amend-

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The pruning knife has already commenced its operations on the
Municipal eorporation Reform Bill, in the Committee of the House
of Lords, which it is apprehended will entirely disfigure it ; but the
general question this morning in the city is=will the Commons ac-
cept the Bill after being so mutilated? The general opinion is, that
they will not. The great majority against Ministers on the above
subject last night, has excited some attention, and paralyzed the
operations in the Funds this morning.
