THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, Twzars o'CLocr.
We have a ♦ery blank morning for information,
the arrivals being so few and of no importance.
Madras Papers have arrived to the 4th April;
they are also void of interest.
Consols opened this morning at the same price they
left off at yesterday, 88+ for the account, and
88/ for money. The Hebrew party continue pur-
chasing, which forebodes they have some informa-
tion either from the theatre of war, or that the in-
terest of the Exchequer Bills will be reduced.
It is still the opinion of the well informed that
the English, French, Russian, and Austrian Ambas-
sadors will interfere, and prevent the destruction of
Constantinople.
In the Foreign market nothing doing as yet, and
prices are nominal.
Three per Cent. Consols, 88/ I; Ditto, for Oct.,
89 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 891 1; Three and a
half per Cent. 98i 9; Four per Cent., 102/ i; Ditto,

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols are heavy, and have receded since the
early part of the morning, when they were at 891
for the Account, since which they have been sellers
at SO, and for Money 88-14; at present they may be
quoted, 89 buyers for the Account. This decline is
attributed to a current report of an immense failure
in the City in the Woollen Trade, said to be from
two to three hundred thousand pounds, which will
involve from twenty to thirty other houses; more
failures are also in circulation.
It may be added to the account of the defeat of
Don Miguel's army at Terceira, given in another co-
lumn, that four gun-boats have been taken from the
squadron. No further particulars have yet come to
hand—it gives great satisfaction to the citizens.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing to
the present time. Brazilian, 88k 9; Buenos Ayres,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY..

BOW-STREET.
Bill Savage, the pugilist and cabriolet driver, was
charged, under the Highway Act, before Mr. Hafts this
morning, with killing a horse, value 161., in Old-street-
road, which at the time was being driven in a hackney_
coach. The coachman stated that he was on his own
side, passing a waggon which was meeting him, when
Savage drove his cabriolet between the complainant's coach
and the waggon. The off shaft of the cabriolet entered
the chest of the off side coach horse, and killed him on
the spot.
Mr. HALLS asked if Savage was driving furiously at the

time.
The complainant would not positively say that he was,
but he thought that Savage had no business to drive be-
tween him and the waggon.
Swage stated that he was only going at a jog-trot,
while the complainant was racing with another hackney-
coach, and ran at full speed against his shaft. Both the
complainant and the other coachman had a woman on the
coach-box at the time.
Mr. lIALLs dismissed the complaint for furious driving,
and said that complainant must go to law for the value of
the 'Arse.

COURT-MARTIAL UPON CAPT. DICKEN-
SON, R.N.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY—(THIRD DAY.)
This morning the Court assembled at half-past nine o'clock.
Mr. HENRY GYLES, signal Midshipman of the Genoa,
was called, and examined as to the third charge—of Cap-
tain Dickenson being reproved for not using springs. Ile
stated that as fir as he could recollect the situations of the
ships, the Asia, Genoa, and the Albion, the Genoa's
head was more to the northward than the Asia.

By the COURT—As to the charge, No. 2, he did not
recolect seeing an English flag hoisted at the head of the
Albion during the action. The Genoa's opponent was
nearly a beam of her on the starboard aide. He did not
think that the Genoa's position was ever such that she
could have fired into the Albion.

To a question from Sir HENRY BLACIVIOOD—The fire
of the Genoa silenced her opponent. He did not perceive
any other ship firing on her opponent. The Genoa kept
firing for four hours on her opponent.
Captain SCIIO3IBERG—Was the Genoa's opponent si-
lenced before or after the fall of Captain Bathurst ?
Witness—After, as near as I can recollect. The Genoa's
broadside was towards her opponent the greater part of the
action, particularly in the commencement. He did not
recollect her being astern of her opponent. Saw the Albion
occasionally during the action. Her position as to the
Genoa was on her starboard bow. He was on the poop,
and towards the latter part on the forecastle. Captain Ba-
thurst was wounded and carried below about an hour after
the action had commenced. Their opponent was a fine
line-of-battle ship.
Commander ROBINSON, late a Lieutenant of the
Genoa, who proved the log upon the first day, read an
extract from the log as a part of the third charge, as to
Captain Dickenson being reproved for not using springs.
He stated that it was about an hour after the action had
commenced, the Genoa altered her position a little, rather
obliquely from her opponent; she was completely abreast
of her before. It then became necessary to train the guns
forward. Occasionally, when the smoke permitted, he
could see the Genoa's opponent. She was a fine 74-gun
ship. It was about this period that the springs were made
use of. The springs acted immediately. Captain Smith
came down below, and ordered him to send the men from
the guns, and the order was most promptly obeyed. He
stated that the springs were hauled up a second time after
the Genoa had been raked by her opponent, and Cap-
tain Dickenson gave the order. He came down upon
the lower deck for the purpose. The mainmast of
the Asia's opponent was only standing. The rest of her
masts was lying over her side. The Asia and Genoa's
opponents were athwart of each other, and the Genoa
kept firing at both, the breeching of the foremost guns was
carried away by the incessant firing, and they were so
hot from the repeated firing, that they could scarcely bear
their hands upon them. The springs were bent on the
ring of the anchor. He observed the Albion during the
action, her bow and her larboard broadside was towards
the Genoa. He never saw time Genoa in such a position
that her foremost guns could fire into the _Albion. He did
not see the Albion's fire directed in particular against the
Genoa's opponent. He did not see any ship of the Allies
fire into the Genoa's opponent, the Asia might have done
it, but the smoke was so dense he could not be positive.—
The Genoa lay towards her opponent, with her head and
stern. There were no men killed by musketry in his
quarter of the ship. The position of the ship required
the use of the springs, but they were used only twice to
his own knowledge ; they were used by hauling. All our
bow guns were not able to bear on our opponent, but
were used with great effect after the springs were hauled ;
those guns were brought to play upon the stern of their
opponent. It ivas impossible that they could have fired
into the Albion by mistake. He could not get a gun to
bear upon her even if he wished it. Capt. Eathunq was
wounded and carried below about 40 minutes after the
action had commenced. After Capt. Bathurst was wounded
the surings were properly used when necessary. When
the springs were used, and from the report he had
beard of the nature of Captain Bathurst's wounds, he was
of opinion that the ship was then under the command of
Captain Dickenson. The order for using them was given
after Captain Bathurst had been wounded. He was of
opinion that no officer could show more anxiety than Cap-
tain Dickenson did during the action, and afterwards. At
intervals, when he saw the Albion, he distinctly observed
tile white ensign at her foretop head. There were others
of the enemy's ships in the direction of the Genoa's oppo-
nent, which, if her fire did net strike her opponent, it
must have taken effect with other of the enemy's ships—
the foremost guns got heated by the continual file di-
rected against their opponent, and subsequently they
brought their after guns to bear upon her—there was no
grape-shot fired at our opponent--if it was, it was with-
out his knowledge—he ordered them to double shot their
guns at each round, thinking that it would have more ef-
fect when they were closely engaged—they were so close
to their opponent that they could scarcely miss her—they
were within a pistol-shot of her—when the men were asked
the first time to haul the springs, they manifested a reluc-
tance, but not so the second occasion, which he
attributed to the presence of Captain Dickenson.--
It was the fire of the Genoa that silenced her

—he never beard that any order had been given by
Captain Bathurst—after he had been wounded and car-
ried below he saw the Asia—she was but two points on

her larboard quarter, with her head the same way as the
Genoa's, and never out of that position during the action
to the best of his recollection. All their larboard guns
were ready for firing, but did not fire them—some of the
enemy's ships fired on that side, and one man WAS killed.
By the PRESIDENT-The Albion never passed between
the Genoa and her opponent on the starboard side, and to
prevent any mistakes of firing into the Albion, he gave
orders not to fire in the direction of her station.

By Captain DICTENSON—He recollects receiving two
orders to cease firing, so that the foremost guns might not
be fired into the Albion. He saw Vice-Admiral Codring-
ton the evening of the day of the battle. He came on
board the Genoa and was on the larboard gangway out
of the ship ; there were several of the officers present at the
time. Cannot now recollect who they were. Sir Edward
Codrington addressed himself to Captain Dickenson, say-
ing that he took that opportunity of expressing his appro-
bation for the noble precision with which they fired their
guns, adding that he not only made the observation there,
but when Captain Dickenson was not present, on which
we all returned thanks to the Admiral for the high compli•
menthe paid us; after which lie left the ship.
Lieutenant Sturt, of the Genoa, was next called—He,
upon the first day, attested the log book, and examined as
to the 4th charge ; in which the log stated that the Genoa
had three Ottoman ships opposed to her, &c. such not be-
ing the case ; this witness read over the entry in the
log, which stated such to be the case, and testified to its
accuracy. The Genoa way lying in a parallel line with
her opponent.
By the Coun,r—The effect produced by the Genoa's
fire upon her opponent, was the loss of opponent's main
and mizen masts, and also her hull was much damaged.
He observed the Albion, at the latter period of the action,
when the Ottoman ships had fallen on board each other,
firing her starboard guns. The Albion was two points
frora the Genoa's larboard. When the two Ottoman
ships fell on board each other the guns of his quarters were
firing into the bows of both the enemy's ships. Three or
four times they fired at a small frigate in the nearer line of
the Turkish ships—they were unable to fire any of their
stern guns on account of the difficulty in hauling in the
springs when they were required. At one time in the
action there were three of the larboard guns fired at an
Austrian schooner, and she appeared directly a-beam of the
Asia. From the position of the Genoa to the latter be
thought it quite impossible that those guns could have
struck her. He does not know of any orders said to have
been given by Captain Bathurst after be had been carried
below. He was of opinion that every thing had been
done to keep the Genoa in her position, It was his opi-
nion that the Genoa was placed in that position in which
she could engage her opponent in the most effectual man-
ner, without the further necessity of using the springs
more than they were.
By Captain DIcKENsoN—The Genoa had every gun
engaged on the starboard side. When he saw him (Capt.
D.) on the lower deck, he was then encouraging the men
to haul in the spring, andstimulating them by his example.
By the ConsJ.—Captain Dickenson was about five
minutes on the lower deck, and he left it when the spring
was hauled in sufficiently. He recollects seeing Sir Ed-
ward Codrington en board the Genoa on the evening of
the day of the battle. As he was passing by on the ler.
board gangway, and as he was descending to a boat which
was to convey him on board the Asia, he heard the Ad-
miral express his approbation of the fine style in which
the Genoa took up her position, and the gallant manner
in which she had maintained it. He did not hear more,
for he descended into the boat, which was to convey him
on board the Asia.

By the Couez—Be saw the Albion pass between the
Genoa and her opponent en the starboard aide. The
Genoa was nearly a cable length from her opponent at
that time.

Captain CURZON was next examined as to the 4th
charge, as to the mis-statements in the log-book.—He
thought the account certainly erroneous, as far as it im-
plied that she could engage all those ships. He did not
think that the Genoa could have three line of battle ships

()ti the starboard side in the position he was In. She
could not fire any of her larboard guns without imminent
risk to the allied ships. In the first place the Asia was
close to her, completely covering Moharim Bey. Under
the flying jib-boom there was a little French schooner,
another French schooner was just beyond her, and the
rrident, a French line-of-battle ship; and, finally, the
French Admiral, the Sirene, who anchored between the
first and second ships of the Egyptian line; and therefore
it was iinpossible that the Genoa could fire her aftermost
guns on her larboard side at any of those ships be men-
As to what happened on her starboard, side, he
is not able to speak so precisely. When he did observe
her she was always engaged with her after guns on her
elVonent, a Turkish line-of-battle ship.
By the COURT—He hardly thinks that the ship of the
Capitan Bey could tire into the Genoa. At that distance
of time it was extremely difficult to remember the rela-
tive situations of the ships.
Captain Ouamaney's evidence was corroborative of the
last witness, Captain Cul ion.
Commander Ilormisox was then called, and wished to
correct a part of his testimony ; but
The PRESIDENT. after some other observations, ad-
journed the question on the propriety of allowing him to
do so until to-morrow.
The Court was about to rise, when Captain Dickenson
begged to address them; but time will not al!ow us to
give his observations. Sir Henry Blackwood told him
they would be better reserved for his defence.
The Court adjourned until mine o'clock to-morrow.

RRIVAL OF THE EMPRESS OF BRAZIL.

At half-past seven o'clock on Thursday morning
the steam-boat conveying the Empress of Brazil and
suite,• was seen off Spithead, where she soon after
arrived, amid a royal salute from the Brazilian squa-
dron in the harbour of Portsmouth. Her Majesty
immediate quitted the steamboat, and hoisted her
flag on board the Izabel, the frigate which is de-
stined to convey her to Rio de Janeiro, escorted by
the two others from the Emperor of the Brazils,
which have been for some time stationed at Ports-
mouth. The Empress, who had left Ostend on
Tuesday night, had had a very boisterous passage to
our shores, and was rather unwell after the voyage.
On being received on board the Izabal, her flag was
hoisted, and upon its appearance the ships of war
in the harbour, the Victory, IVlelville, 4.c., re-echoed
a royal salute. It being understood that the Em-
press•does not intend to land in England, but means
to repair as quick as possible to Rio de Janeiro, the
young Queen of Portugal, at half-past 11 o'clock,
hastened to pay her respects to her Royal relative,
and left the shore in the Government steam-boat
the Lightning, with the parade of military display
through the streets to the beach, .mended by a
numerous suite. The weather was quite tempes-
tuous at the time, and as soon as the young Queen
left the shore the royal salutes were recommenced by
all the ships in the harbour, all the elements seemed in
scommotion upon the occasion. The wind roared in
heavy squalls, and the rain poured down in torrents,
with thunder and lightning. The Queen of Por-
tugal was received with full honours on board the
Izabel, and had a cordial and affectionate meeting
with her Royal mother-in-law. It is understood
that the Empress and the Queen will not reland
until they reach their eventual destination : but it
glary so perfect a hurricane on 'I hursday night, and
With the wind so entirely in the teeth of such a
voyage, it is not impossible (though highly impro-
'able) that these ladies may be compelled for the
Imprnent to repose upon a less oscillating element
than the waters of Spithead afford in so unpropi-
tious a storm. From the hurry in which the pre-
?arations on board the Melville ship-of-war have
ueen conducted, and her preparations late on Thurs-
day night to drop down to Spithead, it is thought
she is intended as a further escort for the Brazilian
cortege, until they shall have safely passed the neigh-
bourhood of Don Miguel's squadron off Terceira.
On Priday the wind still blew in heavy squalls from
the same unfavourable quarter, and the Brazilian
ships remained at their station in the port.
The following compose the suite accompanying
her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Brazil :
MARQUIS DE BABEACENA, Imperial Commissary
