Although the transactions in the British Funds
have not been of an important nature, still there has
been a small sprinkling of business this morning, the
Bulls having summoned up a little more courage,
under an impression that Money Stock is scarce ;
the first price of Consols was 871 a for money, and
87j for account, at which rate they did not remain
long, but went back to 871 j for account, at which
price they remained till within a few minutes of 12
o'clock, when they went up to 87i a ; they were at
one time 87j, the nearest price; the Commissioners
were supplied at 87i ; after which their appearance
became rather flat, and the present price is 871 f ;
little or no variation has taken place since yesterday
in the Exchequer market, and the premium continues
at 59 60 ; India Bonds, 99 4.

The Foreign Funds still remain in a very inani-
mate state, and little or nothing is doing in any of
their securities; Mexican Bonds are a shade lower,
being 66 7 ; Colombian, 29* 301 ; in every thing
else there is no variation.

There is nothing new to report in Shares, the
ship Silas Richards, Capt. Holdridge, arrived off
Cork on the 3d inst. from New York, from which
Port she sailed on the Bth ult. for Liverpool, after
encountering a long prevalence of Easterly winds;
no newspapers have yet arrived in town.

Two o' CLocr.
Consols continue steady at 87i I for account, but
with trifling business.

The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE came
to town yesterday morning from their seat in Rushy Park.
Their Royal Highnesses left the Admiralty in the afternoon,
on their return to Bushy.
Mr. HusxissoN, after being engaged at the,
Colonial-office during the greater part of the day, left town
yesterday idterffon for the seat ,t' Colonel COOPER, at
Xlsingbans.
The Marquis de PA L M ELL A, the Portuguese
Ambassador, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-
office.
Mr. Wilberforce arrived in Leeds on Tuesday,
.0a a visit to his friend W. Hay, Esq., and is now staying
at that gentleman's residence, Albion-street. —Leeds In-
telligencer.
The celebrated Miss Turner, the Cheshire
heiress, is at present residing at Harrowgate, and is much
annoyed by the curiosity of the public. —Leeds Intelligescer.
On Wednesday, a meeting of the inhabitants
of Gravesend was held in that town, when it was resolved,
for the purpose of affording better accommodation to the
numerous visitors, to remove certain houses and buildings
standing across the line of the High-street, and to improve
the public landing place at the town quay.
Youngjohns' Stourport Coach was overturned
this afternoon in F oregate-street, opposite the Star Inn.
The passengers did not sustain any injury.— Worcester
Journal.
POISONED BY AN ADDER.-011 Wednesday
lag as a young man named Hetherington, who resides at
Hampstead, was getting over a hedge in the neighbour-
hood, he unfortunately placed his hand upon au adder,
which stung him. Inflammation almost immediately en-
sued in the arm and side, so as to render his recovery ex-
ceedingly precarious.
The mushroom has had a whimsical destiny ;
having bees praised and abused with equal injustice ;
Nero callissz it " the flesh of the Gods ;" while a French
abbe gives it the epithet of " the assassin and the regicide
vegetable."
In Rush county, Indiana, a Mr. Points took
the daughter of a Mr. Young from her father's house, for
the purpose of marrying her without his consent. Mr.
Young pursued and overtook them, and shot Points dead on
the spot. There would be less runaway matches, if the parties
apprehended they would end in this way.—American
Paper.
KENNoWAY.—A young lady of this place
Made an experiment on a living toad, by putting it into a
flower-pot, covering it carefully up, and placing it deep in
the ground, to see if it would live without food and fresh
air. She lately, after a lapse of more than two years, exa-
mined her captive, which appeared as strong and well as
when first placed in confinement. She has again re-com-
-I:pitted it to its former darksome cell, to spend two years'
more in " durance vile."—Edinburgh Observer.
A few days ago, such was the competition be-
tween rival steam-vessels, that numbers of Irish labourers,
on their return from the harvest, were conveyed from
Liverpoollo Newry, a distance of 200 miles, for Sd. each,
or, in some cases, three were taken for fid.
FEMALE CURIOSITY.—During the exhibi-
tion of Signor Blitz, in a room at Beverley, a tailor's wife,
Nvho lives in a house adjoining the exhibition room, thought
peep, and by getting into a false
she would have a gratis
loft, was making her way across the spars towards a peep
hole, when her unlucky stars caused her to set her foot on
the under-drawing, between the spars and she slipped
through; an accident which furnished more entertainment
than the Signor's performance. Mrs. Snip, we are glad to
And, though frightened, was not much hurt.
Mike, a Chocktaw Indian, lately shot himself
at Natchitoches. He bad been a good and valiant warrior,
but had become intemperate, and was attacked with a pul-
monary disease, which rendered him unable to procure a
subsistence for himself and family, and being too high-
Minded to beg, he deliberately put a period to his exist-
linee. —American Paper. A
person of extensive information and re-
fined manners, wearing a fanciful costume, and speaking a
foreign accent, has lately excited much interest at this
place, under the designation of the wandering Troubadour.
It appears that he bound himself by a wager to visit Wor-
cester, Cheltenham, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight,
AS an itinerant minstrel, from the 25th
of June to the 10th
' of the Present month, and to collect a certain sum of money
during that
ha.
Period by his musical exertions. The wager,
we understand,
who
won, and the name of this eccen-
tric individual, m states himself to be a Frenchman, is
Lamoile.-- Worcester Journal.
FODDER.—We mentioned early in the season,
that the meadows and fields on which grass for bunching
Was growing, had let very high. Owing to the nature of
the weather, such a long continuance of alternate shower
and sunshine, the different cuts have been unusually heavy,
of the beet quality, and the tacksmen eonsider themselves
issetugate in their bargain!. The vetches have brought
trout W. to 161. an acre, and even at this high rate the
ernp is-so superior, that the dairymen have this valuable
s.l;niir of fodder at a very rtmonabla rAttomacornan.
