THE FUNDS.=(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

The English market opened this morning with an
improved appearance; the Jobbers were anxious to
purchase back some of their stock, but fear operated'
two ways upon their minds, it prevented their buy-
ing, as an open purchase would have spoiled their
market, and to have attempted a bang would have
risked themselves to the chance of selling more stock
than they chose to part with; this temper produced
a temporary stagnation, until the tribes of Israel
opened the campaign by purchasing a-few thousands,
which improved the character of the market, and
several buyers strengthened it. Upon the news, how-
ever, of two expresses having arrived from France the
bustle of the room died away, and business will re-
main at a stand until the contents -of the despatches
make their appearance, or some effective measures
are acted upon by the knowing possessors of these
morceaux. The price of Consols at opening was
86i 1, went buyers at WI, and continued so ; the
present quotations are 864 s for account, and 86
7 for next account. India Bonds are 87 9 ; Ex-
chequer Bills, 75 6 pm.

In the Foreign Funds the European securities are
a shade better; a kind of fear is expressed by the
holders of Colombian Bonds, that the struggle be-
tween the Colombians and Peruvians may end in
the discomfiture and derangement of both States,
consequently the Bonds of both are seriously
effected, and many think they will, ere long, asso-
ciate themselves in rank with those of the faithful
Ferdinand of Spain. Colombian. Bonds have fallen
from 211 2 to 201 1; Peruvian to 20; Brazilian
are 624 3; Portuguese, 5Gi ; and Russian, 921
In Shares there is nothing doing of importance.

The Captain of a vessel from the Mediterranean,
