TUE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWIILVA 01 Cr.ocr.
The departure of the great capitalist for the
continent seems to be attended with nearly a stag-
nation of business on the Steck Exchange, and
there is all the appearance, unless some occurrence
should take place of political importance, that no
further transactions beyond mediocrity will signalize
the present account—it is right to state, however,
that the report which exists that the Chancery pur-
chases are by no means closed, may seem an excep-

tion ; at present the Jobbers are borrowers of stock,
and Consols, which opened at 86.1 excepting
for a moment when the current price was 87, and a
Broker, deemed rather a fortunate operator, appearing
as a seller effected some sales at 86k, they are now
nearly at the first price ; the Commissioners gave
87. Exchequer Bills, 72 3 pin.; India Bonds re-
main at 113 14.

Scarcely a transaction has taken place in the
Foreign Funds since yesterday ; Brazilian Bonds are
624 3; Buenos Ayres, 42 4; an attempt to raise the
price of Colombian has not succeeded, and they are
234 4 ; Portuguese, 54 ; Russian, 941 a ; and
Danish 101

In Shares, the premium on Imperial Brazilian
Mines has declined in the market from 45 46 to 42
44 ; Bolanos are now 20 dis. to par ; United Mexican,
17 16, and Real del Monte, 120 100 dis.

By the packet, it is reported at Lisbon that a fresh
embargo has been laid by the Government on all
shipping at Oporto, on the supposition of some of
the vessels having rebel property on board, as it is
termed.

His Majesty's ship Leveret has arrived from
Oporto, sailed on the 23d ult., at which period the
English vessels, formerly mentioned, were still de-
tained: the work of confiscation and proscription
still continued in that unhappy town, and the must

trifling suspicion of having even an opinion contrary
to that of the absolute faction, was quite sufficient to

entitle the parties to imprisonment and persecution by
the wretches who at present administer the paternal
Government of Don Miguel.

Three per Cent. Consols, 86k, rather sellers ; Ditto, for
Account, 86i, rather sellers; India Stock 243 4; Bank
Stack, 2111 121; India Bonds, 112 14 pm. ; Exchequer
Bills, 72 3 pm.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols for the last hour have been 86i 87, with-
out the least variation, and little business; 4 per
Cents. 1826, logf ; Portuguese Bonds have fallen
to 531. The parties who take a more favour-
able view of Portuguese affairs say that Don
Miguel intends to provide the needful from the con-
fiscated property of the exiled Constitutionalists, and
will pay the dividends shortly; whilst others say,
the greater the tyranny of his Government, the
sooner it will have an end. _ _

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS D AY.

BOW-STREET.

- -
John Pollet, the unfortunate veteran who applied yes-
terday for advice and relief, and was referred by Sir R.
BIRNIE to the War Office for a pass, which he promised
to fill up, in order to enable Pollet to reach Manchester,
appeared again this morning. He stated that he had ap-
plied at the War Office, and had been there informed that
the clerk haviag the care of the passes was out of town,
and would not return for a month.
The MAGISTRATES regretted the circumstance, and
enquired what sum would enable hint to reach Sir R.
Peel's (near Manchester). The soldier answered that
with economy a pound would suffice. Some gentlemen
immediately subscribed six shillings, and Sir Richard added
fourteen more from his box, which being subscribed by
humane persons for the benefit of the unfortunate, could
never have been better applied. The veteran, struck with
the unexpected amelioration of his long-endured miseries,
received it without speaking; but his embarrassment
spoke his feelings more eloquently than " a world of words.'•

By an error of punctuation, we regret to be
informed that many people have been led to suppose that
Sir CLAUDE Scores property was to be sold. The para-
graph stood thus :—" LARGE ESTATE, CONTIGUOUS TO
LYTCHET MINSTER.—.The beautiful Seat of Sir CLAUDE
ScoTT, Bart., is, we perceive, coming to the hammer. The
Farm Buildings upon the Property, including the Gothic
Residence, are said to have cost the worthy Proprietor
10,0001. The Property is very near to Wareham, and
the Turnpike-road to Dorchester divides the Estate."—
.—lt should have been—" A large estate, contiguous to
Lytchet Minster (the beautiful seat of Sir CLAUDE Scorr,
Bart.) is, we perceive, &c." We can assure the Ho-
nourable Baronet that the mistake was entirely unin-
tentional, and we hope that he may long live to enjoy
his beautiful property.
No respite has yet arrived for BucKLAND, who
is laying in Aylesbury gaol under sentence of death for
maliciously cutting his wife. Should he not be reprieved,
his execution, it is expected, will take:place next Friday.

WATERSPOUT.—On Monday the 21st inst.,
a waterspout fell among the braes of Glenmorriston and
Strathglass,
awl in a few minutes the river Morriston rose
about seven feet, and spreading over the adjoining fields,
caused considerable damage to the crops on each side. The
D,'avoell, a small stream in Stratliglass, was also swollen
to such an extent, that it came down rapidly five feet high,
presenting
an appearance, as the country people say, exactly
like bags of wool. In its progress, it carried away a small
bridge, and materially injured the crops, on the farm of
Guisachan. At the distance of twenty-six miles from the
spot, the river Beauly was discoloured for above two days,
and the fish were seen swimming at the top,•in consequence,
we suppose, of the violence and impurity of the stream.
