TILE FUNDS.

This day being still a ho!iday, the Bank, Stock
Exchange, and Foreign Markets are closed, and the
weather being so ' severe, very few persons have
assembled at their general rendezvous on Change as
yet, and the Coffee-houses nre not well frequented
by the merchants; therefore we have no business
going forward to the present hour, and Consols
must be quoted at the price they left off on Thurs•
day, 95 to if•

Accounts from Liverpool this morning state that
there has been rather a lively demand for Cotton
during the present week and the two preceding
days; the sales being 3000 bales each day. The
lower qualities of American Cotton were decidedly
dearer this week at an advance of id. per lb.
Accounts from Naples state that, according to a
new order from the King, a second line of custom-
hous:s has been established, which causes great dis-
content to the merchants.

Letters from Syria of the 21st November, state
that the President of Greece had left Napoli di
Romania for Greece, where are assembled all the
Admirals and Diplomatists of the several Powers to
fix the limits of Greece;,' and it is believed that the
Islands of Seio, Candid, kind Samos will form a part
of the new territory of Greece.

TWO 0' CL 0 CK.

The frost has driven all the Brokers and Jobb<•rs
from the Royal Exchange, and a few of them have
assembled in the hall of the housekeeper of the
Stock Exchange, but they arc quite idle in regard
to bumines•, scarce a bargain has been done to the
present hour ; Consols may be quoted at the leaving
off price of Thursday, 95 to k. The only thing
doing is in Brazil Stock or the Foreign Funds,
which are 69! 70.

Private letters from Vienna state, that Count
Lebzettee is to be Ambassador from Austria to
Portugal.
The private letjers from Alexandria state, that it
was still uncertain of the damage done by the over-
flow of the Nile, but it was known that the crops of
mace, sugar, and indigo were entirely lost. The
Paella was in great need of money, to send his sub-
sidy to Constantinople, and for which he has con-
tracted a loan. There is more cotton contracted for
than can be delivered.

present, and much higher prices demanded than were ob-
tained, very dull. Most kinds of Vegetables were dearer
than on this day se'nnight ; in prices of Fruit no material
alteration.

EPORTED ELOPEMENT FROM CLIFTON.
—We are requested to contradict a paragraph which ap-
peared in a contemporary print last week, and has hero
copied into ether papers, stating that a Mrs. M—_, the
mother of a family, had eloped from Clifton. The state-
ment is, we understand, wholly unfounded.
