THE FUNDS.

This morning at three o'clock a number of the
principal Brokers assembled at the door of the
Baiik of England. The door Was not opened till
six ; t wo hundred were then present, who
the passage up to the Cashier's Office,
,Hor of ivilich WLIS not oiened till ten, and

then they were only admitted two at a time. Their
impatience, however, was so great, that they
broke the door off the binges ; fortunately no
accident occurred. The first ten names sub-
scribing their Exchequer Bills filled up the whole
7,000,000, and if '2O 000,000 had been wanted,
it would have been had with the seine facility.

Exchequer Bills, which were at 12s. pr. this
morning, es soon as the Loan was filltd fell to

par.

Consols opened this morning at 701 and at
one o'clock were at 704.
Five per Cents at cue o'clock, were at 1041.
The New Five per Ceut. Subscription was at
per Cent. pretniurn.
[ANOTHER ACCOUNT.]

Eleven o'Cloelc.—This being the appointed day
for the opening of the Books to the Subscribers
of the Sever► Millions of Exchequer Bills, as
early as 9 o'clock in the mottling the avenues
leading to the Office of Mr. HASP. were crowded
to excess, all eager to have the first dip of the pen ;
at length their patience became exhausted, and
the great pressure, the moment the door was
opened, literally took it from off its hinges ; but
happy we are to say that no material accident oc-
curred, except some of them had their clothes
torn, and a fen• their arms grazed. We unde'rst dud
a few eminent houses have already subscribed
3 millions, amongst which is a SZotch 131,inking-
lionFe, so that !here only remaiuk4 millions to be

divided amongst the Public, which there is no
doubt will be subscribed before the close Of the day.
Last night Exchequer Bills were done at
to 14s. pr. and this ,morning they are at 51. prem.
owing to the scarcity of money. Navy 5 per
Cents. for the Opening with Dividend are 134 H,
Consols for the Account, 704-.

Twelre o'Clock—The whole of the 7 millions
are already subscribed by 19 eminent houses of
the City and Stock ExchAnge ; Conwis 70 to 70k,
market looking heavy.

We have had no arrival of Paris Papers this

morniog.

Letters from St. Thomas's arrived to-day lof the
15th ult., but they bring uo furtinr hews from the
Spanish Main.

The Conversation, rather than Debate, which
111 ols place yesterday in the House of Lords, is
sufficiently noticed iu our Parliamentary Report.
Load ..ELLEzinottonott,if he is not to be absolutely
4ankett with' Opposition, seems rather di;p6sed
towards that side of the House. Lord LIVERPOOL
opposed the Amendment respecting the Moits of
the Admiralty, urging the delicacy due to the
Crown in relation to the Civil List, anti the
Majority in favour of Ministers was SI to 21.
The subject of debate in the House of Com-
mons was of much 'greater importance as to the
Agricultural State of the country. We agree
with those who support the Corn Bill, that it
would be highly dangerous to make any altera-
. tions'except with the utmost and most egmions
deliberation. Mr. BROUGHAM made an excellent
'speech in favour of Mr. SUMNER's motion for a
Select Committee to examine and report the
several Petitions relented to the House,. and on
a division, the Majority against Ministers was
49.

" DOVER, MAY 30.—Arrived this morning the

CORN EXCHANGS, MAY 31.—A considerable
quantity of IVheat remainedhom Monday's sup-
ply, for which there was little detmind this morn-
ing, but although the sales were heavy, the same
prices were obtained as on i\londty, but only the
finest qualities found buyers ; Barley continues
very dull sale, the demand diminishing daily, the
supply large for this period of the season ; Oats
support Monday's prices, but the snies were tar
fruit brisk ; in Beaus and Peas there is no alte-
ration.

FOR TFIC

ROMAN CATHOLICS.

EDITOR,—At hough I am aware our telltia
mots upon the Roman Catholic Question do not
coincide, I appeal to your impartiality for the in-
sertion of the following Letter
Religious Liberty is so important a blessing that its culti-
vation and extension in a free Country ought to be promoted
by every possible means. I have ever considered the Catho-
lic Question as the grand rallying point fur all those who
wish well to the glorious Cause to which I have alluded ) and
it is not a little singular that upon this Question the avowed
Advocates for Religious Liberty are divided, and do not ap-
pear to be conscious of the advantage which this disunion
gives to the declared Enemies of Constitutional Freedom. It
is no less singular also, that those who have opposed the just
flaims.of our Catholic Brethren are the nearest assimilated,
both in practice and principles, to the very men whom they
wish to exclude from the benefits of our free Constitutiou

Protestant Dissenters should consider, that by standing
aloof, and not malting common cause with the Catholics, they
are materially injuring themselves ; fur they can never ex-
pect the Legislature to annul those arbitrary and absurd re-
strictions with which they are fettered, whilst those which
keep their Catholic grethren out of the pale of the Consti-
tution are in clistence. What are Catholics in this Country
but Dissenters, and why should Protestant Dissenters refute
to make common cause with Catholic Dissenters, in endeavour-
nig to effect the repeal of Laws which mutually oppress them ?
I detest Bigotry of all descriptions, whether in a Church or
Chapel ; and cannot too strongly express my regret that the
infatuated And blotted opimsition which has so long suc-
cessfully reoutted the admission of our Catholic Fellow-sub-
jects into a tree part icipm i,in of the benefits of our Constitu-
tion, has nut been confined to what are usually called " High
Churchmen;" that Fellow Dissenters and Fellow•Sutrerers
should juin in the senseless clamour, is an althumly indeed.—
Let us turn helm vs men, and lend an \helping hand in
promoting the " Consuanuation" so devoutly to be wished.
May .24. A DISSENTER.

" With every respect for the Church of Rome as a true
branch of the Catholic Church, he did not hesitate to expose
those Corruptions winch in the later periods of Ecclesiastical
Histi;ry had crept into her pale, and robl)ed her of that pa-
which he believed the t.:hurch of 'England had retained."
—Vide Mr. jtochthde Hardy's character of the late Dean of
Nliddlehain. What is this i.ut a distinct recognition of the
legitimacy of the Itinnish Church, and why will the Writer
(admitting this) suffer his jud4coetit to be so tar superseded,
and his natural disposition warped, as to render lain a pan.'
