Four accidents happened in the Porso ; among others a young
man was so unmercifully struck upon the head by a soldier
with the butt end of his musket,:that he died in the hospital
the next day.. 'We have not heard that the soldier has been
arrested. The Carnival is vety short this year, anti will be
further abridged by the fate of the Purification on the 2d
February, The horse races were worse this year .than we re-
member them, and there would be no reason of regret if tills
diversion were entirely done away with, as it has been the cause
of so many accidents.

Madame Catalani has given her second concert, which was
very well attended ; and as the orchestra was better, and she
sang more airs than the first time, the public was much more
liberal of its applause.

The Chevalier Vidigal, Minister Plenipotentiary from the
Emperor of Brazil, is arrived here, and has been received
by the Pope with great distinction. In order to avoid as
far as possible, all occasion for offence, the Pope has ordered
the group of the Graces, the Fawn, the Nymph, and two sta-
tues of Venus, which might displease modest eyes, to be re-
moved from the gallery of the Vatican into a remote apartment.
Our Waders will recollect the young girl who was so cruelly
treated by her father et Assisi. The physicians have now de-
dared her insane, and her father is confined in the Castle of
Perugia. The Officers employed to carry into execution the
rigorous measures adopted against the Jews, proceed in such a
violent manner, that many of the persons concerned have been
seriously injured.

ST. PETERSBITRON, JAW. 23.
There is no doubt that the Government will pay due regard
in the punishments decreed against the persons ►mplicated in
the late troubles, to the three degrees of guilt distinguished by
the Committee of Inquiry, though, at all events, the real
traitors will certainly be severely punished, as justice and the
interest of the State require. It is affitmed that five of the ring-
leaders will be shot next week on the glacis of the citadel ; two
of whom are said to be Prince Obolensky, and Prince Tschpin.

inclusive, make no mention whatever of any execution having
taken place or being determined upon.

THE FUNDS.
Consols—Yesterday, closed

The agitation of the Comma Market yesterday,
had not subsided at the close—considerable trans-
actions were effected after four, at an advanced
price. This morning, the Market opened at 79
for Consols. From that price, they dropped sod-
denly to 781—advanced to 79—then receded to
7811—and at one, had given way to 78ki.
The transactions of the day have been exten-
sive, but the Hebrews, who yesterday are emu-
rputed to have fleeced the house of 50,0001., have
slackened in their operations,—doubtless for the

purpose of realizing.
The recent abundance of Money Stock, has
been succeeded by an absolute scarcity, which
renders it more valuable, than Stock for Account.
At present, there is an admitted backudalion.
Tuesday next Is settling day, and if any thing
should transpire at the opening of the Budget on
Monday (to which day it has been deferred), to
affect the Funds, a settlement of so distracted
sn account as this may be, will—iu the opinion of
many—be impracticable ; so remarkable a crisis
in this House, is without example.
The declaration of a defaulter in the House,
yesterday, occasioned an immediate run on
the Banking House of Sir JOHN PEnturto, & Co.
They nevertheless, cleared regularly at the clear-
ing house. The house, however, resolved this morn-

lug to suspend payment, although with 20,0001. in

hand. Their embarrassment is reported to ori-
ginate from agencies on country accounts. Another
defalcation on the Stock Exchange was declared
this morning—the parties are Bears in Consols

for about 180,000. Exchequer Bills are stil
kept at, or near par ; for even the Bank pur
chases cannot establish them at a premium.
