THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock

Consoliopened at 82, but soon evinced weakness, and gradually
drooped to 811 t, their present price. - There appears :to be a
fidgetty feeling among the Bulls, as if some screw was loose, and
the market seems heavy. The rumour of Mr. Canning's resig-
nation is again mentioned in the City, but to which little credit
is attached. India Bonds are 54 6 ; and Exchequer Bills, 34 5
pm. This being settling day in the Foreign Funds, little is doing
but squaring accounts, which appear likely to go off smoothly.
Mexican Bonds are quoted at 69-1 1; Colombian, 39* 40 ; Pe-
ruvian, 34* s*; in the other Foreign Securities scarcely any
variation since yesterday. Shares continue in a very unsatisfactory
state to the holders ; Anglo Mexican are 40 ; and United Mexican,
13 12 dis. ;. in the other speculations the price has not varied as
to quotation', but nothing has actually been done to authorise any
other as the price.

Anchored in Suterranna, "'on the 28d of September, and
sailed thence yesterday. I fOund the Griffin, Gibson, there ; no
oil. Sailed from Suterranna on the 28th. The-Griffin is the
only whaler I have spoken with during my stay at Suterranni.
A large prow arrived from the Wand of Solor, the captain of her
Made the follo-wing communication to the king, viz.:—That an
English ship was wrecked near Solor, about three weeks previous.
He described her as being half full of oil, bilged, and nearly full of
water ; only one mast standing, and a great number of iron-bound
casks floating around her.—He did not speak with the crew, but
saw them escape in five whale-boats, and steer westward, most
probably for some port of Java. Ido not think there is any rea-
son to doubt the authenticity of the statement,' however incorrect
it may be in particular.
The Elizabeth, Connell, from Dublin to Glasgow, is_ totally
wrecked near Belfast:

The William, Jameson, from Ulverstone to Glasgow, was driven
on shore near Ramsey, Isle of Man, on the 7th inst.

ACCIDENTS OCCASIONED BY THE LATE

STORM.

During the dreadful days of Saturday the Sd and Thursday the
sth current, many shepherds made most hair-breadth escapes,
while fearlessly braving every danger in wearing their flocks from
the weather-side of the hills. In the extensive tract of country,
stretching around Sandquhar and Lead-hills, the storm raged
with dreadful violence ; and ' one poor fellow, of the name of
James Bryden, was found dead at Todholes, parish of Kirkcon-
nel, within 200 yards of his own door. He perished on the Sa-
turday, and his body was not found till late the following day.—
With the exception of the point of one of his shoes, the deceased
w 29 completely immersed in snow, and his faithful dog was found
lying under his right arm. The affectionate animal lied suffered
dreadfullY, but weak and almost dying as it was, it evinced an'
unwillingness to be separated from its master. Poor Bryden was
much respected, and has left a widow and two children. Another
shepherd, belonging to Mr. M'Call, of Uliside, though missing on
Saturday, was notfound till the following morning. He had fallen
down from cold and exhaustion, and though immediately carried
to the nearest house, warmed and fed, it was long before he
'could tell what had befallen him. A third shepherd, though
very nearly frozen to death, was found standing in an erect pos-
ture, but deprived alike of consciousness and feeling. At Min-
flock, hali'vnel betwixt • Sanquhar and Wanlockhead, a man was
found dead by the way side. His narneis not known, but he
came from Paisley, and travelled as a mendicant, and was
,sup-
posed to be of rather weak intellects. David Caldew, labourer,
Caldbeck, who had been working at the roads,' endeavoured to.
get home on the fatal Sd of Mardi; hut' he was overtaken-
by the storm, and sank to rise no more, before he had tra-
velled many miles; He has left a wife 'and six • Children.—
On the same awful James Brown, a most extensive
and respectable shoe-maker in Kilmarnock,-and who has many
relatives in this quarter, perished, while endearotiring to return
home. The above detail is perfeHy accurate, as far It, it goes,
and has heal-taken /ram a letter written by .the Rev. -Andrew
Hamilton, miniater"..Kihnarnock. A woman, .whose name we
have not learnt, but, who was liougekeeper to Mr Muir, school-
master; lquirkirk, dropped down- dead while looking at the men
who were cutting the snow. Hannay Harkness, wife Of Tho Mai
Harkness, residing near Heathwood, perished on the 2d, on Corrie
Common,- and at no great distance from- her own house. In the
course of Sabbath One of her sons passed- and repassed the spot.
where she lay, but the vital spark had_previously fled, and from
the depth of the snoiv. no *fel her body was visible. Two wo-
'men, it-is said, were dug out 'of a'sVreath: near Kellhead toll-bar,
and there is a report- of a: woman - having fallen a victim to the
storm somewhere between Annan and Lockerby.—Dumfries
Courier. • 4- • -

THE Siva-H.—Four
Q'clock on Wednesday we were visited by
a second storm of wind and snow, which was very violent while
it lasted. In the -course-of the night-the gale increased, and it
Was fearful- to hear the trees groaning under the double burthen
of a strong north-easter, and a temporary covering both of falling
and drifted snow. The windowi of every house, whether in
town or countryi were
drift, that dsy7lieit.Cottld hardly peep _
so-bespattered and plastered with the
through the casement,
and we never in our lives looked out on a more appalling
scene. A gentleman, who happened to sup out on Wednesday,
in the immediate vicinity of this town, gives a vivid description
of the violence of the .storm. . The wind raved. with ungovern-
able fur'y, scattering in its course, and whirling as high as the
tops of the trees, whole mounds of drifted snow, and seemed to
threaten instant death to every living thing. After great exertion,
—:exertion not unattended with da.nger,—he reached Castle-street,

antlaithoxiiii he could almost walk blind-folded to the spot, it re-
quired the minutest local knowledge to tell which way his own
house—so completely bad the storm levelled all distinctions, by
covering with a plaster of driven snow every door, front, and
window. Altogether, we question whether such a fearful night
has been exwießcecl in. Scotland during the last quarto of a
century.-LDinnfries Courier. • -
