THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.
Extract of a letter from the Frontiers of Hungary,
August 5 :—lt was reported here that the Russian
army was only 24 miles from Adrianople, where
the greatest consternation prevailed; but we have
received letters from the above town which do not
confirm this report, and state that every thing was
in movement to defend the defiles of Strandja, a
branch of the Balkan, which the Russian army must
pass to arrive in the Sandjar, and it was not believed
at Adrianople that the enemy would hazard the
passage of their defiles, where a few hundred men
could prevent the passage of an army, as it is known
that in these mountains corps of Spahis are sta-
tioned to defend them, and their cavalry are mounted
with horses accustomed to climb the ravines, where

the most expert horses of the Cossacks must use the
greatest precaution in advancing. It is reported
that 20,000 Greeks and Armenians have received
orders to work at the fortifications before Constanti-
nople.
Accounts from Hamburg state that the Russian
Government have freighted 20 Danish ships, 30
English, and eight French, to carry provisions and
ammunition to the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean.

We have no arrivals this morning of the least im-
port, not even a single ship letter, consequently
there is a very great dearth of information.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 89 for the
Account, opened at the same price. Since which
they have been done at 89i and 88i for money.
This day being the anniversary of the fire of Lon-
don the Royal Exchange will be closed till one
o'clock. It is also a holiday at the Bank; but the
Stock Exchange and the Foreign Market are open.
No great speculations are going forward as yet.
The next accounts from Constantinople are ex-
pected to be of great importance.
In the Foreign market scarcely a bargain doing at
present.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Owing to the absence of intelligence the Consol
market has remained stationary during the whole of
the morning at 89k, alternately buyers and sellers,
with little or nothing doing; and for money 88i-,
buyers.
The City Capitalist, who is the chief spirit of the
market, being now absent on a tour to Paris, it is
not expected that any speculations of importance
will take place until his return.
The Foreign market is as dull as that of the British.
THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for Account, 89k.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

There are again good arrivals of foreign Corn, but not
much English. The quantity of Flour is fair. The trade
for Wheat to-day is heavy, most of the New samples left
on Monday are so damp as to be nearly unsaleable, good
Old Wheat in consequence is no cheaper to-day. Barley,
Beaus, and Pease, are unaltered. Good heavy Oats main-
tain their prices, but in other sorts there is very little do-
ing. The Flour trade has become very heavy at our last
quotations. ARRIVALS.
Wheat. Barley. Oats. I

brls,

The Earl of COVENTRY has left town for
his seat at Croome.

We understand from good authority that the
independent borough of Carrickfergus, in the county
'Antrim, mean to contest the representation of that borough
at the next general election, and that Mr. LAWLESS has
been encouraged to come forward as the candidate. We
also understand that the friends of civil and religious
liberty in London have determined to support Mr. LAW-
LESS in the contest.

The recent departure of an illustrious an-
nuitant has given occasion or an infinite deal of gossip
among the few loungers who yet frequent the Saloons of
the West. The plea of bad health being abandoned as un-
tenable, three other causes are assigned fur the Princely
emigration—the first, that it is his Highness's intention to
renew his boasage in a certain Imperial quarter, where,
if report speaks true, it has already been rejected, but the
field is supposed to be now more open by the demise of a
redoubted Chamberlain, the late unoculus inter caws of
an Italian establishment ; the second, that it is preliminary
to the avowal of a left-handed marriage with a fascinating
German vocalist ; the third, that it proceeds from motives
of economy, as the original lies angusta Domi is sup-
posed to warrant a reduction of expenditure during a
Continental sojourn, which would not be looked upon
with a favourable eye in this country.—Morning Paper.
The enormous incomes received by the Soli-
citors for the different Public Boards, in the shape of Bills
of Costs, have latterly excited much observation ; and the
case of the Solicitor for the Post Office, whose salary was
almost nominal, but whose emoluments amounted to two
or three thousand a year, has been much dwelt upon.—
This case, bad as it confessedly is, is yet a trifle to the
abuses of a similar nature lately prevalent in Ireland.—
We speak from direct personal cognizance of the fact, when
we say that the first Bill of Costs received by a former
solicitor to tha Irish Excise amounted, after taxation, to
the almost incredible stun of twenty.seven thousand
pounds ! It is true that the Solicitor in question has been
displaced, and a successor appointed with:a fixed salary, but
not before the individual alluded to had realized an enor-
. , mous fortune, on which he now lives splendidly and Iran-
; quilly, and laughs at the Reform, which, he says, came a
i day too late.—Morning Chronicle,
