THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twars o' CLOCK.
The depression which took place in the English Funds
yesterday caused a more than usually numerous attendance
of the speculators and jobbers this morning, who met, in
consequence of its being a holiday, on the Royal Exchange ;
considerable curiosity was felt to ascertain the cause of the
sudden depression, and it is now stated that the Hebrew
party, who had been acting for a rise, had sold, in order
to realise their profits. Consols were, in the early part of
this morning, done, in private bargains, at 85k, and went
to 8.5! ; the nearest price is now Eisi, with a firm aspect.
In the Foreign Funds there is nothing to state of the least
importance, nor has there been any private business to note.
TWO O'CLOCK.
Consuls, notwithstanding the French Funds came over
higher on Monday evening, do not sustain their advance
to 85i buyers, and are now 85i rather buyers.:A steamer
has arrived from Rotterdam.

The letters received by her will he delivered this after-
noon, between the hours of two and four o'clock. She
brings lists of railings and arrivals of the 29th of April.
