THE FUNDS_ THIS DAY).

CITY, TurzLYE o' CLocr.
The British Funds have undergone an improvement this
morning, and Consols, after opening at 83-a "4, with an
exceedingly firm appearance, advanced to 84i both for
money and account, and some extensive purchases have
been made in the coarse or the day. One of the
Turkish 'Mails due arrived to-day, but brings little intelligence
of importance ; as the season'approached when the Russian
army would be enabled to act, the fears seemed to in-
crease of the Christians, who were preparing to take their
departure on the first. signal of hostilities, rightly judging,
after this event, there would be no safety .for them ; it is

the least probability existed but war would take place, and
this seemed the general opinion. Exchequer Bills are 58

The Foreign Funds are generally higher ; Russian from
861 T, are now S7l ; Spanish are also better, being l2i,
the continued purchases of these long neglected Bonds by
the same parties who operated last week having tended to
this improvement ; in the continued absence of news from
Portugal, this security continues at 001 ; Brazilian, 60111.
In shares no alteration since last week has taken place,
and prices remain heady the same.
It is reported that a telegraphic despatch from Marseilles
jhas arrived at Paris, announcing the arrival at that port of
an Envoy from Algiers, authorised; on the part of the Dey,
to conclude peace with the French -Government. There
is a current rumour in the City that a change in the for-
mation of the MiniStry is likely to take place' in two of its
prominent members.
