THE FUNDS.

The state of the Fonda, and of the Money Market particularly,
hare been very remarkable during the last week. On the Settling
on the account day, (at least towards the close of it,) there ap-
peared to be a quantity of Stock on the market which thespecn-,
lators were unable to pay for, and the market fell from 74 to 78.
On the following morning a number of buyers appeared in the
market, and by the magnitude of their operations sent Stocks up
to 79i, and on Friday they reached as high ea 80, and finally left
off on Saturday at 79i.
During' all these purchases for time, Money Stock in consider-
able quantities was thrown mion the market, and the continuation
on Consols to July rose from to '7-l6ths
We are not aware what new lights have broken in upon the
' parties in, the Stock Exchange, who are now speculating for a rise ;
but we understand that there never has been a more decided feeling
in favour of the Funds than at the present moment. The ac-
countiof the amicable adjust inent of the diffetenetst between Russia
and Turkey might doubtless account for some part of this rise,
although we are of opinion that these differences had nothing what-
ever to do with the great fall of Stocks, which was produced by
circumstances which have affected, in a more remarkable manner,
the price of all other commodities ; and Which circumstances,
although, we trust, mitigated in a degree, still exist, and therefore
we cannot see what rational grounds there can be for supposing,
as many sensible petiple went to do, that the 3 per Cents. are on
the high road to 85.

In the Foreign Market there has been the usual fluctuation, but
upon the whole, the prices of the South American Securities are
muse than our last week's quotation.

NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

NRWCASTLE-ITPOW.fYNE, MAY 27.
The committee-roomy of the four Candidates lbr './slorthoinher-
latid have .been re-opened in, form within this, day or two, and the
honourable gentlemen of the law nay be seen walking to and fro,
with an additional air of iMportince, their clerks following with
bags and papers. The Turks Head Inn, which ethibits the large
white flag sod " Independence," is the seat of Ileamtiont's
Qunmittte. The Queen's Head displays a beautiful red and white
flag, with the motto ",l'iorthumberliand's Clioice,'° in allusion,
no doubt, to the call made upon the Honourable Henry Thomas
Liddell ; for here is the seat of that t ientleinao. Committee. The
numerous friends and supporters of Matthew Dell, Esq. (who, by
the bye, arrived safe here this morning from LoOden, Amid the
ringing of bells), are again . assembled at the George, in front Of
which.the blue flag is unfurled; and 'before the Turf Hotel, the
licit buff and blue pendant denotes the bend quarters of toy
Lord Howick and hi, friends. is just possible that
the actual dissolution of Parliament may. increase the general
activity and bustle ; though as far as the keenness of controversy
goes, it were difficult to imagine any stimulus capable of.
adding to the existing excitement. For never - was the local
Press so curaans inn illicito as it is at the present moment. It is
the privilege of John Bull, however, to scold his superiors at
election times, and the evil, like many others, must be sohmitted
to, to prevent greater.
