THE FUI4DS.-Although it is stated that the
amount of the Loan is positively ascertained to be
Thirty Millions, it has had very little effect upon
the Stocks. Yesterday Consols left off at 661- ;
they commenced this morning at 66, went to
and receded to :1; at 12 o'clock they were 661 I,
when the Commissioners were served in Re-
duced at 653 by the House generally. At one
Consuls bad declined at 661. Immense
accounts have been carried over to this day
from last settling day, and in consequence of a
scarcity of Stock, and great quantities being
purchased to make up the accounts, the price has
been supported. One important circumstance in
the Communication of the Bank yesterday has not
been noticed. Mr. Hass stated, that a Bank
Director would accompany the Deputation at the
CHANCELLOR of the ExCHECLUER'S to-morrow,
from which it is inferred that an answer will be
obtained whether the Bank will fake in the Ow-
nium or not.

It is again currently reporteJ in the City, that
the CHANCELLOR of the ExcHloauEß,has not only
been moat free in his communications respecting
the Loan, but also his views as to the New Taxes
about to be proposed. One rumour states, that a
kind of bargain has been made respecting the Malt
Tax, and a duty upon Foreign Wool, the great
Landed Interest consenting to Su.eporf the former
measure, provided the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHK-
cauER would grant to them the protecting duty on
the latter. Another rumour makes the new duty
on Foreign Wool 6d. per lb. ; another, Is. per lb.
in addition to the present Import Rate.
The communication above alluded to, which
was made at three o'clock yesterday, was as' fol-
lows :

" Lord LivEßrokor. and the CHANCELLOR of the
ExclfEaveß request the Governor aud Deputy
Governor of the Bank will cause it to be notified
at the Stock Exchange, that they will be ready
to receive those Gentleruen who propose to treat
for the intended Loan, at twelve o'clock on Fri-
day."

Letters from Virginia have been received this
morning of the 30th April, which bring a de-
plorable account of the great stagnation of com-
merce in that quarter ; a great number of failures
had taken place in consequence.

We are 'sappy to fi;id, that the various PITT
CLuus throughout the kingdom have been con-
ducted with an enthusiasm and zeal highly cre-
ditable to those who have the more immediate
direction of them. We, however, most sincerely
regret the absence of Lords IlatutownY, CASTLE-.
REAGH and the other Members of the Cabinet, who
are iii the habit of supporting the Roman Catholic
Claims, at the Meeting of the London Club on

Friday last. The toast of the " PaorEieraNr
ASCENDANCY" is generally understood as having
been objected to by those Ministers. For our
OWO parts, the enthusiastic manlier in which that
toast was received gave us extreme pleasure ; and
considering how firm a friend Mr. PITT was to
the Church as well as the State, we cannot wonder
that his friends at the present day should drink
such a Toast. The idea of Mr. PITT having been
favourable to the Concession of the I{oman Catho-
lic Claims, we have always considered to be erro-
neous. That lamented Personage was in favour of
the discussion of those Claims, and probably would
have voted for a Committee to see whether any
securities or tests could be given for the mainte-
nance of the Protestant Ascendancy. Now such
discussion and Committee have been had ; it has
been seen that no securities whatevercan be given,
and that such are even deemed unnecessary by "some
of the Advocates of the Claims. None of these
circumstances occurred during the life of our im-
mortal Statesman, and it is therefore unfair to
class him amongst the Supporters of the Roman
CathOlic Question, since he bad no opportunity
afforded him during his valuable life of forming
any decided opinion upon the subject ; and,
when we see the Tutor of his Youth and
the Friends of his maturer years taking the de-
cided part which they do upon this vitally im-
portant Question, we feel a firm conviction that
our immortal and enlightened PILOT, had he been
now amongst us, would not have supported it. We
hope, therefore, that the toast of the " NoTes-
TANT ASCENDANCY" will never be expunged from
the Pitt Club Vocabulary, but that it will every
year be drank with increased energy, and event-
ually lead to a decided expression of public opi-
nion upon the Roman Catholic Claims.

It is said that Mr. ELLITON, as well as Mr.
KEAN, are in treaty for farming the Management
of Drury-Lane Theatre next season.
The Theatrical Season at Drury-Lane Theatre
is to close on the Bth inst., and the Company
will then remove to summer quarters.

Mrs. SIDDONS was offered the most liberal terms
from Drury-lane Theatre to perform only three
nights. The sum, we understand, was to be a
clear twelve hundred pounds, but she positively
refused to accept it. It is, therefore, the more
honourable to her feelings that she voluntarily
comes forward to support the benefit of her
brother, Mr. C. KBMBLI3.

We yesterday stated, on the authority of a
Morning Paper, that the Sub-Committee of
Drury-lane Theatre had resigned the situation;
and, on inquiry, we find such to be the fact.—
We learn, that Mr. STEPHEN KEMBLE, who had
been engaged as Massager for five years, has also
resigned his post, declaring that be would not be
an obstacle to any arrangement which may be
deemed beneficial to the property, This Gentle-
man lias excited so much esteem and friendship
among all the performers, that it is probable they
would prefer his future management to that of any
other person.
Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India
House,- for the determination of the following
question, viz.
That a sum of money, equal to sicca rupees 180,000, be
paid to Mr. James Wilkinson, at the exchange of 2s. 6d per
sicca rupee, in consequence of the losses sustained by hint
from the enactment of a monopoly of saltpetre by the Ben-
gal Government, in the year 1812; and that such payment be
made from the commercial funds of the Honourable Com-
pany.?
At six o'clock the glasses were finally closed,
and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the
numbers to be, viz.—

Somerset, on the presentation of Mrs. Revett Carnac, of Dc-
vonshit c-street, Portland-place.
LIGHT HORSE VOLUNTEERS.--At a General
Meeting of the Regiment, held at their head-
tquarters yesterday, Lieut.-Colonel BosANauaT
was unanimously elected Colonel, vice Hisacias,
deceased.
This morning an alarming fire broke out in the

house of Mr. Gaul', bottom of Sloane-street,
Chelsea, which, in a short time, consumed the in-
terior, and damaged some others.
Yesterday the five soldiers in the Guard 3, who
have been in custody for some time, underwent
final examination at Bow-street, before Mr.
litcxa, when, after a full investigation, they were
all discharged, except a man of the name of Ro-
berts, on whose person a white pocket-handker-
chief was found, which was proved to have been
stolen at the time of the fire in Dover-street.—
The Bank notes found upon hitn were not iden-
tified.

FEMALE COURAGE.—A few days ago some sus-
picious persons were observed lurking about the
house of Mrs. Ann Higgins, a lady residing in
Finsbury-ignore, and the same night, after the
family retired to rest, the servant maid, who slept
in the lower part of the house, was alarmed by
a noise iu the rear of the premises ; she got up
and looked out at the window, when she oh-
served the same fellows in the act of breaking into
the house. She immediately took down a inns- ,
ket which hung over the fire-place, and levelling
it, fired it off. The robbers instantly recreated
over the garden wall, the 39111 C way they had en-
tered, and escaped. Next day a quantity of blood
was found upon the wall, and it track t:f it ryas
treccd to bOlLie distance..
