THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwrLPE CLocr.

There is little business doing this morning ; but Core:ols
at the opening were heavy at 83i, and became 83 the
price; the market has since, in the absence of any fresh
news from Turkey, become more buoyant, and the price
rose at once to 83-1, and eventually to 83! and 83i
for April. The near approach of the account day has
operated to limit the transactions, and it is said it is a Bull
account. Some sales, reduced for Saturday, have tended
since to make the price not quite so good, 831 The
premium on Exchequer Bills has fallen to 56 57, and on
India Bonds to 85 88.

The Foreign Market has been more than usually dull
this morning, and scarcely a bargain has been done since
the commencement of business. Some trifling transactions
have taken place in Mexican at WI- 4; Colombian are
quoted 24 25 ; Brazilian, 61,2 i 62 ; Russian, 91i- 92, and
Danish, 664 614.
The Share speculations are in a state of quietness, and
we have not hitherto beard the price of Brazil Mines, or
that there is any thing from this quarter by the O. borne
packet.
Three per Cent. Consols, 83,1 ; Ditto for the Account,
831, ; India Bonds, 85 8 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 56 7 pm.

Mires.—Anglo Alexiean, 65 60 dis. ; Colombian, 15
16 per stare; United Alexiean, 22 21 dis. ; Genera
Mining Shares, 9 10:1 pm.

TWO O'CLOCK.

The price of Consols has improved to 83,1 i for this,
and 83H for next time. This may be, perhaps, as-
cribed to the nature of the account, but with more feasi-
bility to the fact of a certain eminent Capitalist taking
in Reduced to-day from the East India Company, with-
out waiting till the account day. Brazilian Alining Shares
fell to 28 311, and are now 30, 2 prem. This de-
cline has been occasioned by intelligence arriving by the
mail that on the let Dec. an accident occurred from some
part falling in, but which is represented as of little import-
ance to the general success of the speculation; prior to this
event the workings had afforded rather more than the average
quantity of Gold, and for the last four days it had amounted
to nearly 2b 11;s. weight.
THREE O'CLOCK.

THE SLEEP OF THE WEARIED SOLDIER.—
Never did bivouac afford fewer appliances for comfort—yet
these are not wanted by the tired soldier. In the mere
cessation of exertion, he finds, when bathed by the cold
dews of heaven, a medicinal balm for the weariness of
exhausted nature. And then the sleep, by which, in a
brief space, his heavy and motionless eyelids seem to be
hermetically sealed ! Think you, my good Aunt DORO-
THY, it at all resembles the light and fragile slumbers
which nightly soothe your senses into forgetfulness be-
neath your tester of pink damask and eiderdown quilt?
Slumbers which the ticking of a clock, or the softest
whisperd s-p in
coulda breakPaitmec or the pattering of rain on the
window-paces, and dissipate in a moment?
oa
nes, your
No, no, believe cue, it is nothing like this. The sleep of
the worn campaigner is indeed very different from that of
an amiable and respectable maiden lady, whose fatigues
during the day have proceeded from an airing in the
carriage, or a walk in the shrubbery, and perhaps, an
extra rubber at whist or backgammon in the evening. It
is a sleep, dreamless, and imperturbable—a still, calm, un-
broken sabbath of all his faculties and senses. Fire a
pistol at his ear, and he hears it not. Let the glare of a
thousand torches be concentrated on his eyelids, and they
move not. Let his stony bed be shaken by concussion of
an earthquake, and, beyond an occasional snore, he will
shew no signs of animation. But try him with the sound
of drum or trumpet, and with curses on the earliness of
parade, muttered iu smothering like a grunt, he springs at
once to his feet, restored, as if by magic, to all the func-
tions, powers, and attributes, of a sentient and living man,
