TUE FUNDS.

The Funds this morning are again very languid, with
little or nothing doing. This is owing to a great dearth of
political information, and a want of spirit on the part of
the capitalists to operate.
We are now anxiously waiting to hear of the meeting
between I)on Pedro's squadron and that of his brother.
Should Pedro's Admiral prove successful, the blockade of
Lisbon will be resumed with double vigour, which will
cause great discontent at Lisbon, and which appears to be
the only chince there is at present for Don Pedro's suc-
ceeding.
Consols opened this morning at the same price they
left off at yesterday, 831 a for the Account, with scarcely
a bargain doing.
Most of the brokers are promenading the Exchange, in
search of a customer. The Dutch mail has not as yet ar-
rived, but is hourly expected. At present we have not
even a report.
The Foreign Market is in the same stagnant state as
the British. Not a bargain doing in the new French Loan.
Portuguese Regent Scrip 3 to 2i per cent. discount.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We are very dull in the City. There is a late arrival
from Pernambuco, at COrk, but the contents have not
transpired.
Consols have rather improved since the early part of
the day, when they were 834 ;at present they may be
quoted at 837 buyers for account ; they have been done at
84 for money.
In the Foreign Market most of the securities maintain
their prices, although little is doing.

Lord FITZROY SOMERSET held a military
Levee this day, at the Horse Guards, which was very nu
merously attended.

VOTING.—It is absolutely necessary that all
freeholders should, before the 20th of this month, give
notice to overseers of parishes of their qualification to vote.
The ice was so thick at Newfoundland on the
31st of May, that the President was compelled to postpone
the opening of the Supreme Court. Next d,sy a thaw
commenced.

At Rotherham, which contains several thou-
sand inhabitants, and a great number of freeholders, only
three of the latter have as yet preferred their claims to he
registered as voters for the West Riding.— Sheffield

On Sunday morning, about 4 o'clock, a de-
structive conflagration broke out on the extensive premises
of Messrs. BROWN and Co., acid and colour manufactory,
near the church, Battersea. It would appear that the fire
broke out in one of the stills, and although it was shortly
discovered, the nature of the property caused the flames to
spread with such inconceivalde rapidity, that only a por-
tion of the manufactory was preserved. The amount de-
stroyed is estimated at between 3,000/. and 4,000/.
ATTEMPT TO BRIBE A JUDGE.—A Welsh
paper states that, at the Assizes for Cardigan•hire, the
defendant in an action had the impudence to send a state-
ment of his case to the Judge, Mr. Justice AcnEasolv, at
his lodgings, accompanied by a 101. note. On entering
the Court, the Learned Judge made a declaration of what
he had received, and intimated that be should place the
letter in the hands of the Attorney-General, and instruct
him to prosecute the offender. U,timately, however, the
Learned Judge returned the money, and cautioned the de-
fendant against trying such an experiment again.
