THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAYI)

CITY, Tw.,F.irs.o'CZocr
Consols opened this morning.at.B6/ for money
and account, and 86i 7 for November; the tharkef
has since become heavy, from a
_general, disposition_
in the brokers to sell stock from all quarters ; for a
moment the Hebrews purchased a few thousands,
but after a short period desisted from their support.
This species of panic was much increased, by a copy
of a letter which has been received by a respectable
firm, who are brokers in connection with the trade
of Turkey, from the Russian Consul General, in re-
ply to an enquiry that had been made whether the
Consul could give documents or certificates for a
vessel on' the point of sailing, to prevent her deten-
tion by the Russian squadron actually blockading the
Dardanelles, for. the particulars of which we refer to
another part of our paper; the price of Consols has.
consequently fallen to 861 I, and 86-4- for Novem-:
ber. The Commissioners pai'd 84. The business
done has been extremely large in. the course of the
day, but the market appears more calm at present.
India Bonds, 89 91.- Exchequer Bills, 75 6 pm.
In the Foreign Funds there has been very little
doing, the chief attention having been paid, to-'the
English Funds. For the reasons already', given,
Russian Stock has fallen full half per cent., arid the
present price is 924 93. Danish are 614 62. Por-
tuguese, 56 I. Brazilian, 62f 4 ; and Greek, -174
181.

In Shares the only variation has been a fall in the
premium of Brazilian Mines of 1 per cent. They
are now 51 3 pm.
The French Papers state that, after the evacuation
of the Mores by Ibrahim Pacha, the French expedi-
tion will immediately return from .thenet

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols, after recovering in the first instance from
their price at 12 o'clock to 86k, the nearest price,
have again evinced much weakness and gone back
to 86f4 for money, and 86 sellers for November.
Their appearance is heavy. India Bonds are also
lower, and the premium is now only 84 86. Ex-
chequer Bills are the same as in the morning.

Squinting is, in the new phraseology of intel
lest, denominated "ocular indecision."

THREE O'CLOCK.

Letters from Constantinople of the 10th ult.
state that the Turks were occupied busily in fitting
out a fleet for the purpose of attacking the Russian
squadron before Varna; it is also said the Russians
have retreated from Shumla. Corn was plentiful in
the capital.

From Alexandria they state, that the French Ad-
miral had refused to ratify the Treaty made by Ad-
miral Codrington, unless the fortresses in the Morea
are put into the hands of the French army.
Consols for account haveosuddenly gone down to
86 sellers, and appear excessively heavy, the Govern-
ment have, it is said, given notice tro the East India
Directors of their intention to claim the quantity of
saltpetre usually kept on hand for their use, which
amounting to 5000 tons, the price is now 265. per
cwt., and no sellers.

A cast-iron bridge is about to be thrown over
the River: Tone, at the end of North-street, Taunton.
The floods at North Town, so injuriously felt in wet wea-

titer, will be one of the evils obviated by this measure.—
Bath Chronicle.

COBBETT ON EARLY EDUCATION.---"
have just now pia my French Grammar into the hands of
my yenngest son, who is fourteen years and a half old--
that being about the age that I think it best for boys to
begin to read books; and, as to girls, they will always
begin sown enough if you suffer any books to• be in the
house. I have no notion of setting little creatures down to
pore over printed letters, before it is possible for them to
understand any reason which you give for anything. The
first thing, in my mind, is to do your best to cause them
to have healthy bodies; then, as soon as they can reason,
they will have sound minds, learn anything you put before
them ; anti they will, in a trice, overtake the little
masters that have been perphetl upon a corm from three
years old to fourteen."

The following anecdote, which is highly cre-
ditable to the parties concerned, is now in circulation ::--
Some time ago an illustrious personage; wishing to take
the sacrament, sent for the Bishop of NV— to administer
it. The messenger having loitered on his way, a
