THE FUNDS.

The relief solicited from Government would
have come too late for the Stock market, even had
Ministers acquiesced in assisting with Exchequer
Bills to the extent of five millions. From Mr. II vs-
KISSOWS observation last night, of the feasibility
of beginning even " 10-morrore morning" to in-
crease the amount of Bank notes by purchasing
Exchequer Bills, it was obvious that such opera.
Lion would commence this day. Shortly after the
Opening of the market, the Bank Brokers made
their appearance, and by successive purchases,
took off an amount of Exchequer Bills that
brought the discount down to 3,—and from that
to par. As the operation was principally in
the large bills, those of 500 and 100 still
remained at a discount of t. This relief comes
too late for the Stock Market ; however, it
may affect the Merchants'. The number of de.
faulters announced yesterday was four—D.
MoCATTA, S. ISRAEL, LEVY BROYUSIII, and
E. J. SYMONS. Of these, the three for.
mner declared themselves to have been left
unprotected by an eminent Contractor for South
American Loans. In the course of the afternoon,
the Checks of eight different individuals were
returned through time clearing House, in conse•
quence of Alms, SueenA an, and STAIIBOCK'S
checks having been returned, with an accompany-
ing intimation, that the great House in question
hail not kept their engagements with them.
Several of time checks so returned, were, however,
subsequently marked fur payment, and only two
or three stood over for arrangement. This morning,
the stoppage of Messrs. B. A. GOLbsCliMtnT,
and Co. was carelessly announced—the catas-
trophe not altogether unexpected, the shock
was felt with great severity throughout the
City. It appears, that speculating for a rise in
South American Securities this house had pur-
chased to u'greatamount for time,aud the continued
fall in South American Securities, left them unequal
to settling their differences. According to report,
the loss sustained in the English and Foreign
Stock Exchatiges will be little short of 100,0001.

relief from the operations of the Bank,
drove bp the market to 753, but it was soon up•

Bills would he reduced—the market generally
speaking, would not be much improved. At one
