THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Letters from Prague announce that the Duchess de Berri,
and the Duke of Angouleme, were preparing to go to Spain.
Should this information be confirmed, France must declare for
the intervention in Spain.
Accounts from Bayonne in a French Paper of the dat, of
the 9th inst., has the following :
According to a report addressed by the Commandant of
the Fort of Peralta to the Commandant-General of Tudela,
it is stated that Zumalacarregui was mortally wounded not far
from Villa Franca, in an affair which took place with the di-
vision of Espartero. The Commandant of Tafalla an-
nounces the same information.

THE FUNDS.
Both the British and Foreign markets have opened this
morning with improvements in the prices.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 92* for the Account,
opened at 921 4 ; Reduced, 91+ -; Exchequer Bills, 27 29 ' •
India Bonds, 8 10 ; Bank Stoc, 2151 16 ; India Stock,
260 261.
Yesterday was a day in the Foreign Market scarce ever
witnessed ; not less than nineteen defaulters were declared, and
more are expected. With one or two of them it is a hard
case, having paid from 15s. to 17s. 6d. in the pound, but the
general question is, what is to be done with those persons out
of the House who have abandoned their brokers ; of this de-
scription we fear there are numbers.
The Foreign Market this morning has a firm appearance,
and some good business is doing at the following prices :
Belgian, 99i- loot ; Brazilian, 82 83 ; Chilian, 49 50 ; Co-
lumbian, 38 39 ; Danish, 761 ; Dutch Two and a Half per
Cents., 55/ 56 ; Spanish Bonds, 441 ; Spanish Scrip, 12 13
discount ; Portuguese, 89 90 ; Three per Cents., 63 64.
HALF-PAST ONE.
Up to the present hour we do not hear of any more de-
faulters being declared at the Stock Exchange, although it is
expected further declarations will take place.
Consols, which were in the morning 92+ for the Account,
have since receded to 91k, with little doing. Exchequer
Bills 27 29 ; India Bonds 911 ; Bank Stock 2151. Spa-
nish, which was in the earlier part of the day at 441, has
lowered to 431 44 ; Scrip 13 12i- discount ; Portuguese 891.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange are now sitting.
A memorial has gone up to them, signed by several Members
of the House, desiring that they will be more particular in
enquiring into accounts before they decide on their declarations.

We lament to say that the widow of the celebrated
Delpini the clown, and author of several dramatic works, has,
from old age, and other infirmities, been obliged to become a
candidate for admission into the alms-houses of St. Martin's-
in-the-Fields. There are at present but four vacancies, arid
we trust that the benevolent inhabitants of the above parish,
who have an interest in that asylum, will not forget the many
claims which this once distinguished individual possesses upon
their sympathy and assistance, and that they will afford her
that shelter and succour, of which she at present stands so
much in need.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 15.
The Market to-day has exhibited a more lively appearance
than it has done of late ; 3,000 bags have been sold, nearly a
third of which have been taken by speculators. The higher
qualities are looking up, and on all sorts the quotations of Fri-
day have been fully supported. 700 Surats, lid. ; 70 Per-
nams, 150. a 161 d. ; 30 Maceio ; the remainder American,
10d. to 13d.

_
The thermometer, which, in the course of Friday
had been at 82, sank during the night to 58, being a change
of no less than 24 degrees in the temperature in the course of

a few hour.

AWFUL DEATH BY LIGHTNING.—On Tuesday
evening last, as Mr. Rees Lewis, of Heolvandg, near Breck-
nock, farmer, was proceeding with a horse and cart from the
former to the latter place, he was struck lifeless to the ground
by the electrid fluid during a most violent thunder-storm. A
coroner's inquest was on Wednesday evening held, by Henry
IVlaybery, Esq., one of the county coroners, on the body of the
deceased, when the Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the
visitation of God." The horse took fright and ran off with the
cart, until its progress was fortunately prevented by going into
a ditch, Hereford Twhich place he was extricated with very little
injury. m
