THE FUNDS.

CITY, Twelee o' Clock.

Consols opened this morning at '79 k, and a short period after-
wards went down. to 791 ; they have since
,recovered, and are
now 79k 9. There is a continuation of about an eighth per
Cent. between the prices of Consols for money and account. The
business in the English Funds has not hitherto been extensive.
Mexican Bonds have been done as high as 54, and receded to 52 ;
Colombian Securities are quite a dead letter, and seem almost for-
gotten ; they remain at 984 4 ; .Greek is rather worse, and about
1 per Cent. lower. The Share Market continues very flat, with
scarcely any business.

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR—(THis DAV)

We could not help exclaiming this morning, on taking
a view of the preparations for this ancient civic carnivul,
" the age of jollity is gone, that of saints, economists, and
paupers has succeeded, and the glory of Barthelnay is ex-'
tinguished for ever I" Every effort has bt;en made to
abridge it ; the price of the ground for stands has been
raised so enormously, as to take away the profits and the
inducements of speculators.
There was none of the display in the avenues to Smith-
field, which of old gave intimation of what was going on
there. The fair itself cuts a most sorry appearance. There
is not half the usual number of shows, and those which
remain wear a melancholy aspect. The countenances of the
owners seem impressed with the prospect that they
shall lose by it; and it may be conceived how abortive,
under such circumstance., are all the efforts to be comical.
There is not a single show of any note in the centre
square, which, a year or two since, was surrounded with
them. Wombwell, with Wallace and Nero, and some
royal tigers; and Richardson, with his Corps Dramatique,
his clowns who can't tumble or play, the salt-box, and
his harlequins who can't leap or dance, are the
only persons who have attained any thing to re-
mind us of its ancient splendour. Atkins, with his lions
and noble band of' beef-eaters, is heard there no more.—
Gyngell, that prince of conjurors, who used to play " 0
Name", on the musical glasses, has disappeared. The breed
of monstrosities seems to have diminished: there are only
2 Albinuses and a tall man and woman. There are still, how-
ever, oysters for the luxurious, and we heard a fellow in
the pig-pens crying out lustily, " Here's hot sassingers to
feed your hangells with."

The Lord- MAYOR and Sheriffs entered in grand
procession, at twelve o'clock, and proclaimed it
with as few of the ancient observances as possible.
The hucksters and publicans were enjoined at their
peril, to supply drink and food that was " good
and flute for man his bodye." The shout at the
opening, instead of being a din, heard thrice the distance
of Pye-corner, was a faint and dyintsound, scarcely heard
on the other side of the fair.
The dancing booths have been hunted out; not a pre-
paratory scrape was heard, in these times.
The rich mania painted window
Hide the concerts of the yttalitY;
The poor man can but spare
A crack'd fiddle in tke air,
Which offends all sound morality.

The rich man is invisible
In the crowd of his gady society,
But the poor an elight
Is a sore in the sight.
And a stench in the nose of piety.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL—(Tkm DAY.)
At this Office no ease whatever, of the slightest interest,
presented itself. Mr. Alderman BROWN sat to hear
any little thing that was to be stated. He coin-
plained much of Overseers and others being late in
building
the dm, r
: O. eoming forward to prefer or substantiate
their enarges. For -bis own part, when it was his day to
:7,
this had never since he had been a Magistrate, been out
he t‘ll!' $711.13 to when the clock struck the hour at which
sit; and he considered pinwtuality in this re-
spect infinitely better for all parties • an the dpublic at large,
than irregularity. ,
