THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
New York Papers were received yesterday to the 10th of May.
HAVANA, Apitia. 21.—" On the 17th inst. a Spanish brig with
over 500 slaves arrived here, a prize to the English sohooner Skip-
jack. She was captured a few days since near the Grand Carsman,
south side of the island, after a running fight. She was insured
here for 30,000 dollars. More than 1,200 captured slaves have
been brought in here within four months, and over 600 within 40
days. They are not apprenticed out to the planters as has been
supposed, but only in and around the Havana. The place is now
full of them."

In the Legislature of New York nothing of importance has taken
place.

This moment we hear that Mr. Cazanove, on the part of Mr.
Rothschild, has declared in the Foreign Market that the above gen-
tleman was willing that all differences due to him, he would take,
one half in Spanish Bonds at 50, and the other half in money.
Mr. Ricardo has also declared to the same effect.
FUNDS.
This being settling day in the Foreign Market, and one of
the heaviest accounts ever experienced by the oldest brokers,
great fear is entertained that the differences to be paid, being to that
enormous extent, will cause the ruin of many hundreds of persons
in town and country, who have deposited their capitals in the
various foreign securities. At a very early hour this morning most
of the jobbers and brokers posted to town, to obtain an arrangement
of accounts, and the Stock Exchange Foreign Market was crowded
at the opening, all anxious to obtain some sort of adjustment. At
length the prices fixed for making up were for Spanish Bonds 50 ;
for Spanish Scrip 5 discount ; for Portuguese 94. No business
was done except settling the accounts—therefore all prices
at present are nominal. The brokers are more unfortunate with
their principals out of the house, as numbers refuse to pay their
losses. Indeed, we may say, there is a general making up, and the
parties who are gainers are glad to catch what they can.
Consols may be quoted at the leaving off price of yesterday,
90-1 for the Account.

HALF-PAST ONE.
In the early part of the morning the confusion and distrust were
so great in the Foreign Market, that they would not receive or give
cheques for the settlement of their accounts ; but since the messages
of Mr. Rothschild and Mr. Ricardo were sent to the house, the con-
fusion has somewhat abated, and they are going on with the settle-
ments as well as they can. A number of private failures have
taken place, although not announced or made public. It is ex-
pected that it will be some days before this tremendous settlement
can be wound up.

It is intended to form an Association at Birmingham,
to be called the " Reformers' Registration Society," the ob-
ject of which is to watch over the registration of voters for
the borough, and for this district of the northern division
of the county, with the view to the promotion of reform prin-
ciples.—Birmingham: Gazette.
THE JUNIOR ST. JAMES'S CLUB (NEXT DOOR
TO CROCKFORD'S).—The arrangements of this Club are now
complete. The admitting without ballot the Members of
Crockford's, White's, Brooks's, Boodle's, Graham's, Arthur's,
and the Traveller's, is in the very best possible taste, and has
already proved highly judicious. Of course, all others wish-
ing to become Members, are to be balloted for in the usual
manner. From the situation of this Club, the extreme ele-
gance of its appointments, and the spirit with which it will
be conducted, the Committee having adopted the whole of
Crockford's rules and regulations (which are allowed to be the
most liberal of any Club in Europe), it is fair to presume that
this Club will shortly assume as high a tone as any of its more
ancient competitors. The Committee, which comprises No-
blemen and Gentlemen of the first rank, fashion, and conse-
quence, has appointed Mr. Raggett, jun., late of the Cocoa
Tree, to superintend the Club.
MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.--
COUNTY COURT.—The Court met yesterday to dispose of the
usual business of the County. B. Rotch, Esq., Chairman.
There were only sixteen Magistrates in attendance. The re-
port of the visiting Justices to the House of Correction (4th
Geo. IV., cap. 64, sec. 23) was received. The statements of
the Governor, Surgeon, and Chaplain were highly satisfactory.
The number of prisoners was 941, viz., 701 males, 238 females,
and 9 children ; out of that amount 219 males and 13 females
were vagrants. In the New Prison there were 245 prisoners,
viz., 168 males, 77 females, and 4 children, generally orderly
and healthy. The usual routine business having been disposed
of, the Court adjourned.
CURIOUS PHENOMENON.—On the 23d January
last, from one o'clock until eight in the morning, a noise like
the firing of artillery and musketry (produced by the bursting
of two meteors) -vas heard all over New Grenada and the Eq.. ,
cuador, froa. Carta Martha Carthigena to Quito. Tile
villagccs round Bogota were in ancs'next day, eN.pecti.l2: that
a revolution had taken place, but a few days had restored
tranquillity. A similar phenomenon occurred on the lath
November, 1833, in the United States.
