THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVN o'Ciocr.
Although the fluctuations in the price 'of Consols
to-day were not important, yet they have beenxather
mole frequent than is usual on a Saturday. They
opened at 88i, the price, went down to 88k, sellers,
have since been 881 and are now 88k, rather
Sellers. Exchequer Bills are 60 1; and India. Bonds,
90 2 pm. The French Funds for Thursday come
over nearly a percent. higher. Every thing in the
Foreign Funds appears heavy, particularly Mexican
Bonds. Some reports have been circulated that the
present highly respectable agents of that Govern-
ment were likely to be changed to another merean-

tile establishment, but which, we have reason to
think, is untrue, have caused Mexican to wear a very
drooping appearance, the present price being 69# 11-,
there is, notwithstanding, some mystery hangingabout
this Stock which cannot at present be cleared up ;
Colombian are 32 i; Brazilian are a trifle lower,,
being 67 ; the same observation applies to Spanish,
which are 10 k. There is nothing worthy of notice
in Shares, Brazil Mines are 8 9 pm.; Anglo Mexi-
can, 55 50 dis.; the only business doing is in the
former, but it is of trivial import.
Three per Cent. Console, 881 ; Ditto for Account, •
88i ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 89 ; India Bonds, 90 2
pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 60 1 pm.

Two o' Ciocr.
The English house is very thinly attended, and
scarcely any business doing; Consols have been 88i,
alternately buyers and sellers, for the last two hours,

they are now the former. The Foreign Funds are
equally unattended by dealers, who seem to be on
the wing for their country residences.

THE WEATHER.—During the last ten days
the weather in this quarter has been unusually variable
for the season of the year. A number of heavy
showers have fallen, most of them in the night time,
but as they have uniformly been followed by strong
solar heat, and fine easterly winds, the crops have been
nothing injured. Sunday last was very warm and sultrys
and on Monday morning this 'place was visited with a‘se-
vere thunder-storm. About four o'clock the peals were
very loud, and the lightning particularly vivid. To the
.westward of this city, the rain fell in torrents for nearly
two hours. Several fields of strong oats and barley were,
in consequence laid, but the weather having since been
dry, they are quite recovered. This thunder storm has
been been more severely felt in the west country than it Las
been in this quarter.—Scotsman.

BLADE.--An extract from a Private letter
(dated Bury Saint Edritunds), states that '3/Ode's execu-
tion has been respited till !at of September..
ANOTHER DEATH BY FIGHTING.—We
are grieved to state that another pugilistic contest has taken
place in this town, and ended in the death of an individual
of the name of Paul Thompson. The fatal rencontre, we
understand, took place between the deceased and Jonathan
Howarth, in a field near St. George's Road, on Monday
night. An Inquest was held on view of -the body of
Thompson on Thursday last, when the Jury, after hearing
such evidence as could be procured, found a verdict of
Manslaughter against'Geo. Howarth, Jonathan Howarth,
John Williams, Patrick McDonald, and Patrick Clemson.
Geo. Howarth, it appears, is the father of Jonathan, and
was his second in the disgraceful transaction. The Co-
roner committed hint to Lancaster, to take his trial there
at the ensuing Assizes, and issued his warrant for the an,
prehension of the other parties, who hare absconded.e...

-THE Po TATOES.—Though the crops round
this city are excellent, the potatoes merit part►cular no-
tice. The alternate showers and sunshine—the regular
supplies of moisture—followed, by warm and genial wea-
ther, has btlen highly favourable for them. The stems
are strong and vigorous—not a blank is to be seen in the
drills, and while there is every probability that they will
be excellent in quality, there is every appearance of the
most abundant return that has been obtained for a number
of years. The prospect of a superior crop of potatoes be-
comes the more gratifying from the consideration that
they form a substantial part of the poor man's subsistence.
A paragraph in our last stated, that pulling off the apples
was of great benefit to the potatoes ; and it is worthy of
being generally known that they are excellent food for the
cows. It has been ascertained that when about two-thirds
of their, keep is composed of them, their milk is improved
both in quantity and quality..---Scotsman.
