UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS

John Gallagher, a wretched looking being, was
charged by George Collier, an Inspector of Stamps, with
selling unstamped publications.

. .
Collier found the defendant hawking the Poor Man's
Guardian, one of which he purchased for a penny, and
then took him into custody. The defendant told him that
he had only this morning come out of Tothill-field• Bride-
well, to which place he had been committed for ten days
for begging, and that with the sixpence which the gaoler
had given him on liberating him he had purchased the
publications.

The defendant wanted to do something for a living, and
had even better be sent to gaol for this offence than do
what was worse.

A person present said that the defendant told him that
a gentleman Whom he met in the streets had advised him
to buy the publications.

The MAGISTRATE thought that was extremely probable,
but it was little to the credit of any individual to work on
the necessities of poor persons, and persuade them to
offend against the laws.

The defendant was then committed for 14 days.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK.

Charlestown Papers to the 20th July, Hobart Town to
the 15th April, and Port-au Prince to the 2d April, have
been received at the North and South American Coffee-
house.

The Charlestown Papers state, that the Israelites in Ca-
nada have been resisted in their efforts to obtain equal
rights ; and as often as they were elected Members of the
Provincial Parliament, they were expelled their seats on
account of their religion, but the British Parliament have
at length passed an Act confirming them in their rights.
From the Hobart Town Papers we are happy to learn
that a branch of the Van Dietnen's Land Bank is about to
he established in Launceston, a measure long anxiously
desired.

The price of Colonial produce remains the same as last
week ; wheat maintains its average from ss. 3d. to ss. 6d.
a bushel.

The dry weather being favourable to the taking up of
potatoes, we have a plentiful supply.
The flour exported to Swan River by the Eagle did
not sell for more than 9d. per pound, not being of the best
quality.

_ .
The Port-au-Prince Papers are entirely destitute of
information.

'The French mail this morning does not bring any poli-
tical news of consequence.

THE FUNDS.

Our arrivals this morning are again of a very scanty
description, and few in number.

The only point worth noticing by the estafette this day
is an attempt to assassinate the King of Hungary.
Although the wind has been favourable for arrivals from
Portugal, we are without any to the present time, by
which it is supposed thati nothing of great importance
has taken place in that quarter.
The state of the Bank concerns still occupies the chief
attention of the public this morning, and Bank Stock
has again receded; 5,000 has been done at 190, and it is
expected it will experience a further fall, owing to an idea
that the Bank Directors will be obliged to reduce the in-
terest on Bank Stock.

Console, which left off on Saturday, at 831 k for the
Account, opened at 831 buyers, since which they have
been done at 834 ; at present they are 838- 4. This de-
cline is entirely attributed to the state of the Bank.
Lip to the present hour we have no political reports.
I❑ the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.
Favourable accounts from the Swan River, by the
Eagle, arrived at Hobart Town :—Several excellent crops
of wheat had been reaped by the settlers in January, af-
fording them a most seasonable supply, they being before
that reduced to the most distressing strait for provisions.
His Excellency, the Governor, had dispatched the Helene
to Launceston for a further supply of wheat on the part of
government. Labourers' wages 10s. per day, salt pork
was ls. per lb., superior flour was sold at 20d. per lb.,
colonial fresh mutton Is. per lb.
The newly.discovered tract in the interior, though re-
mote from head-quarters, had proved to be most fertile and
productive. At King George's Sound the best prospects
were entertained ; the soil close to the shore, though
sandy and light, produced no less than three good crops of
potatoes within the twelvemonth.

Up to the present time we have no fresh accounts from
Portugal, which are very anxiously sought after, pArticu-
larly information from the two squadrons.
The Funds have become heavy since the early part of
the day. Consols which were 83:7 for the Account re-
ceded to 83-,lf but the Chancery having purchased, pre-
vented a further fall. At present they are 83i I- for the
Account. Bulk Stock has continued lowering—it has
receded during the morning from 190 to 185 ; at present
they may be quoted 185 to 187. Since last Thursday
this Stock has fallen about 17 per Cent. At present it is
the general topic of conversation in the City.
In the Foreign Market little doing except in Dutch
Stock.

THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols are now 83i ;-1 for Account.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—At this mar-
ket, last Tuesday, there was again very little business done.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER,
ATTENDED WITH Loss OF LIFE.-An accident attended
with fatal consequences took place yesterday afternoon
about three o'clock, just above Purfleet. The captain of
the sailing vessel the Brilliant, belonging to Lord H.
CrrotstoslDELEY,asked permission of his Lordship to take a
few of his friends for a sailing excursion down to Graves-
end. This being acceded to, the Captain (BEADLE)
started yesterday morning, in company with seven other
persons, all males, his friends. They had a most boiste-
rous passage down the river, and the Brilliant, being a
match vessel, only calculated for above-bridge sailing,
laboured severely, and was almost continually under water.
They reached Gravesend, however, and after remaining
there for some time, they put about with the intention of
returning home, and when they arrived at Purfleet, a
sudden squall caused the vessel to heel, and she filled with
water, and went down instantly, stern foremost. Imme-
diate assistance was rendered from shore, hut only two of
the men were saved, the rest, including the Captain
(BEADLE), were all consigned to a watery grave.
