THE FUNDS.---(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CL 0 CE.
Up to the present time we are without arrivals: not a
single ship letter has been received.
___.

The public are still amused, from day to day, with va-
Huns reports on the affairs of Holland—such as the pro.
test of Prussia against the entrance of the French into
Belgium; then, again, the positive assurance that the
French army was to be put into motion, as yesterday, to
enter Belgium. This morning the sps”,ulators in the
Funds attach some importance to the departure of the
Marquis of Lansd3wne for Paris, as they imagine that he
has gone to prevent the march of the French army. We
may add that nothing official is known on the subject, and
all depends on the expected despatches from France and
Prussia.

Consols opened at the same price they left (ff yesterday,
84. to I} for the Account.
We hear that an express has arrived from Holland,
bringing the Dutch funds considerably higher, as it was con-
sidered at Amsterdam that the Dutch affairs were on the
point of being settled. It is said that the French fleet is
off our shores.

It is rumoured in the city that Government has re-
ceived the ratification of the treaty.

lIALF-PAS T ONE.

Expresses have arrived this morning both from Paris
and Holland ; by the former it is ststed,:tbat the French
Funds come per Cent higher, but the latter ex-
press is of more importance. From Amsterdam they
write that the King of Holland has made important con-
cessions, and that they were in hopes that peace was on
the point of being settled. In con.equenee of which the

To judge at once of a nation, says one of our
first of living bards, we have only to throw our eyes on
the markets and the fields. if the marh•ts are well sup-
plied, the fields well cultivated, all is r;ght. If ozherwise,
we may say, and say truly, there people are barbarous or
oppressed.

The skeletons of nine of the individuals cons
cerned in the riots of last year, were dug from the ruins
of the Bristol Custom-house last week. Party and elec-
tioneering violence, which is even now exhibiting itself irt
its worst forms in that city, may well be subdued and ad.
taionished by such melancholy and revolting disclosures.
SUICIDE.—An inquest wis held yesterday

with a large horse-pistol. The deceased bad :een for 42
years in the employv of the Hospital; hut on tie reduction
of that institution.had been dischatval without any sort of
pension. lie had a wife and ten children, seven of whom
were totally dependent on him for support; and since his
d.scharge be had so taken the loss of his situation to heart,
that he was quite an altered man. W. HOLDING, brother-
in-law of deceased, stated that of late deceased was very
much dejected at the loss of his situation in the Hospital;
he always complained of his being turned away after so
many years' service. The Jury, after animadverting in
strong language upon the impropriety of the officers of
Greenwich Hospital dismissing an old servant without any
pension in hie old age, returned a verdict of " Insanity."
