THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.
Late in the afternoon of yesterday the Consol market suddenly
receded to 793, sellers, and left off with buyers at that price. This
appears to be the result of a considerable quantity of Stock being
thrown on the market for the purpose of realizing. This morn-
ing they opened at 793- 80 for account, and money, and have since
experienced an advance to 80f i, with a stiff appearance ; money
is abundant, and Stock scarce; India Bonds have advanced to
49 50 pm. ; Exchequer Bills remain at yesterday's quotation,
being 28 30 pm. In the Foreign Funds, Greek Bonds have been
very lively, and the next intelligence from Greece is looked for
with some anxiety, every one asks where is Lord Cochrane ? the
large American frigate has arrived some time since, and has sailed
tinder the command of Admiral ;Mullis, and interesting intelligence
may shortly be expected from this quarter. The Bonds rose 3
per Cent. yesterday, and are 16f 17 this morning ; Russian,
Colombian, 314- 5 ; and Mexican 6 per Cent., 65
In Shares scarcely any thing doing, or any material alteration in
prices since yesterday; Thilpuxahua, 60 70 pm. ; Brazil, 3f 2

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sra,—The French Language being usually learnt
with a view to conversation, a Grammar which
would afford the Student an opportunity of acquir-
ing a collection of phrases necessary for conversa-
tion, while he gradually attains a thorough know-
ledge of the elementary principles of the language,
could not fail to prove eminently serviceable. Such
is the consideration by which I have been-influence'd
io presenting the, public with this new production.
My grand object has been to render the speaking of
French as easy and familiar to" English persons, as if
they studied in Paris. To accomplish this great de-
sideratum, I have composed the essays on the rules
of passages and sentences used in ordinary discourse.
By construing them into French, the pupil will not
only store his mind with useful 'expressions, but he
will likewise insensibly imbibe just notions of the
Grammatical technicalities of the language. This is
of the utmost importance for speaking French ; for,
unless the learner is properly trained up in the prac-
tical part, he will never be able to hold the least dis-
coulse with.a native of France, although he may be
a proficient in the theory of the language. 'The na-
ture of the French Verbs is, also, exhibited,in quite
a new and clear manner, and the remarks on pro-
nunciation are collected from the present practice of
the fashionable circles in Paris. The work is con-
cluded by a Grammatical Analysis, and a Treatise
on French Prosody and Versification ; besides a
classified vocabulary, a compendium of familiar
phrases, and numerous models of notes, letters of
compliment and business. In the execution of the
whole, in short, the speaking of the language has a
prominent feature ; 'and flatter myself this Gram-
mar will be found peculiarly adapted lo the capacity
of the generality of learners, being divided into sixty
easy lessons and essays, which will' prove no less
instructive than agreeable.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,

NAVARIN, OCT. 22.

His Majesty's Brig Philontel.
-I dare say, before you receive this, you will have
heard of the event of which I am going to give you
the particulars ; I am sure nothing will astonish you
more. On the 20th of October, the combined

fleets: went into Navarino harbour, and engaged the
Turkish fleet for five or. six hours, till dark ended it.
We had been cruizing off Navarin' for some time,.
Whenrin the forenoon of the,2o6, we observed the
Admiral make the signal— Prepare to engage the
enenpt." We were all ready in a very short time,
and'in we' went with a fair wind, and (as it had been
concerted) the English Admiral dropped his anchor
alongside Ibrahim,Pacha's ship; the Genoa, Albion,
and one or two English frigates, engaged the rest
of the centre of the_ enemy; the French engaged
the enemy. to the right of their centre—the Russians
to the left of their centre; the Brisk, Mosquito,
and us (the Phdome/), 10-gun brigs, and Dartmouth
frigate, were to take five or six fire-ships the enemy
had for the purpose of burning our fleet. We ran
up alongside one fire-ship, and dropped, our anchor
there with her alongside a Turkish 18-gun brig
close on our starboard-bow, and two large corvettes
and one frigate (all Turkish) a little way from us on
our starboard-beam..
The action began by one of -the fire-ships firing on
one of the Dartmouth's boats with small' arms, and
she blew up just as two of the Dartnzoutls's boats
went alongside, which .killed. and wounded some of
their men; then the French Admiral fired one of his
.great guns, and the action regularly commenced:
Directly we saw the French Admiral fire, we be-
gan to fire atour fire-ship alongside, and the Turks
on board her set fire to her, and tried to leave her in
two boats; but our Marines fired upon them with
small arras, and killed and wounded most of then.
We then fired with our great guns right at the fire
ship's water-line; and in less than five minutes had
the.pleasure of seeing her go doWn, and I think she
blew up as she was going down, for her, main-mast
rose right up out of the water, and then sunk
again into the water; we then commenced firing
upon the brig, and had the pleasure of seeing her
strike to us, and then down she went; we cheered
as they both went down ; our shot we could see went
through both sides of them. After we had sunk the
brig, we, with another 'English' brig, commenced
firing upon one of the corvettes and the frigates; and
the corvette struck, and sunk in a short time:—
Just at this moment, two of the Russian frigates
came in and anchored between, us and the Turk-
ish corvettes , and frigates, for there were three
or four of than 'firing' away upon us like fury,'
and we must have been. sunk if they had not
come in. (You 'mint remember that all the
fleet did not 'come in together, but some at a
time, which accounts for the Russians coming in at
the time they did), When we found we could not fire
at these frigates any more, we *slipped our cable, and

P.S. A Key to the Essays is just published.

[We have carefully examined this Key to Mr. Douville's
excellent Grammar, and can safely affirm that it is exe-
cuted with much fidelity and spirit. It forms a very
useful accompanAnent to the Grammar, rendering it com-
petent for those who choose to be self-taught in the French
language, to make themselves masters of it without the
assistance of a teacher. As such, we have no hesitation
in recommending Mr. Douville's Grammar and Key as
being the best calculated for speaking French, which we
have hitherto seen.]--EDITOR.

HIGHLAND METHOD OF STOPPING a
LEAK.—One day we were ordered ashore to be
inspected. The small boat that I was in being
leaky, one of our men (a Highlander) thinking,
it seems, to rectify this defect, suddenly pulled
a plug out, and the water, of course, rushed in
upon us in great quantities. The author of this
misfortune had not the presence of mind which
one of his countrymen had when in a similar
predicament ; this was to thrust his thumb into
the hole and cut it off. Fortunately we were
near the shore, or the most tragical consequences
might have taken place. On questioning the
Highlandmani his only excuse was, " that he
thought to let the water out !"
FlRE.—About four o'clock, yesterday morn-
ing, the watchman on the station discovered that
the third floor of a back tenement in Argyle-.
street, occupied as a wright's shop, was on fire ;
and the alarm being given, the Superintendent of
Police, with a posse of officers, accompanied by
Mr. Davidson, and two engines, were instantly
on the spot. Previous to their arrival the fire
had assumed a very alarming appearance—the
whole flat was enveloped in frames, and, the de-
' structive element was bursting through the sky-
light windows with the utmost fury, illuminating
the whole atmosphere, and threatening immediate
devastation to the surrounding property ; but in
less than ten minutes, owing to the unlimited
the masterly, effective, and unre-
supply of water—the excellent condition of the
engines—and
which they were directed, the
nutting manner in
fire was got under, and its ravages confined to

notwithstanding, refused to make any disclosure

'plied coolly, " They must do as they like with the,

GREAT MATCH.
The match between Lieutenant Farmer and Mr. Bennett, of
Wade's Mill, took place on Saturday morning, at eight o'clock,
over a six-mile piece of ground, between Chalfont and the Her-
mitage, Herts. It was to make the best of the way, eighteen
miles, for a stake of 200 sovereigns. The parties tan well toge-
ther for the first six miles, whiel was done in forty minutes, when
Mr. Bennett made play, and kept his adversary in full eiercisc.
The second six miles were. performed in thirty-nine:minutes by
Mr. Bennett, who was fifty-yards a-head ; but he began to fall off'
in his speed in the sixteenth mile, when his adversary passed him
in condition to Win. The Lieutenant had to make hi', play for a
bye bet of 50 soverigna, which he laid, that he would accomplish
the ground in one hour and fifty-four minutes, and left his adver-
sary, who resigned in the seventeenth mile, and lest his Secvnd
match by three minutes, much exhausted. The Lieutenant felt
cOnfidenche could have won both his matches if ha had made his
ground-goOd,at going off. - .

BILIOUS AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.

AS a mild and effectual remedy for all those disor-
ders which originate in a morbid action of the Liver and
Biliary organs, namely, INDIGESTION, LOSS OF APPETITF, HEAD-
ACHE, HEARTBURN, TLATETLENCIBs, SPASMS, COSTIVENESS, AF-
FECTIONS OF THE LIVER, Ste. &c. DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS
PILLS (which do not contain Mercury in any shape) have met
with more general approval than any other Medicine whatsoever.
They unite every recommendation of mild operation with success-
ful effect; and require no restraint or confinement whatever dur-
ing their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences of
redundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are
an invaluable and efficient protection. They are likewise pecu-
liarly calculated to correct disorders arising from excesses of the
table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most com-
pkitits occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

plied to the security of Marriage Settlements, where the Capital
is to arise from prospectiie resources.

who indignantly rose up at this most unexpected intrusion, " Your
servant, gentlemen ! I beg you will be sated." Walking up to
the fire-place, he thus addressed Admiral Stewart :—" So, my
dear Admiral, Mr. Brookes inforrns me that I have been elected
three times." " You have been balloted for, Mr. Fitzgerald, but
I am sorry to say, you have not been chosen," said Stewart.-.._
" Well, then," replied the duellist, " did you black-ball me?"__
" My good Sir," answered the Admiral, " how could you suppose
such a thing !" " Oh, I supposed no such thing, my dear fellow,
I only want to know who it was that dropped the black balls in
by accident, as it were ?"
- • -• • - -

Fitzgerald now went up to each individual member,
and but the same question seriatim, " Did yoti black-bail
me, Sur ?" until he made the round of the whole club ; and
it may well be supposed, that in every case he obtain-
ed similar answers to that of the Admiral. When he had
finished his inquisition, he thus addressed the whole body,
who preserved as dead and dread a silence as the urchins
at a public school do on a Saturday, when the pedagogue
orders half a score of them to be horsed for neglecting
their catechism, which they have to repeat to the parson on Sun-
day :—" You see, gentlemen, that as none of ye have blackballed
me, I must be chose : and it is Misther Brookes that has made
the mistake. But I was convinced of it from the beginning, and
I am only sorry that so much time had been lost, and honourable
gentlemen prevented from enjoying each other's good company
sooner.— Waither ! come here, ye rascal, and bring me a bottle
of Champaigne, till I drink long life to the club, and wish theta
joy of their unanimous election of a real gentleman by father and
mother, and".....

The members no* saw that there was nothing for it, but to
send the intruder to Coventry, which they appeared to do by
tacit agreement ; for, when Admiral Stewart departed, which he
did almost immediately, Mr. Fitzgerald found himself com-
pletely cht by all " his dear friends." The gentlemen now form-
ed themselves into groups at the several whist tables ; and no ens
chose to reply to his observations, nor return even a nod to the
toasts and healths which he drank, whilst discussing three bottles
of the sparkling liquor which the terrified waiter placed before him
in succession. At length, finding that no one would communicate
with him in either hind, either for drinking or for fighting, he
arose, and making a low bow, took his leave as follows :—" Gen-
tlemen, I bid you all good night; I am very glad to find ye so
sociable: —l'll take care to come earlier next night, and we'll
hare a little more of it, plase God." The conversation imme-
diately became general, and it was unanimously agreed that half-
a-dosen stout constables should be in waiting the next evening to
lay him by the heels and bear him off to the watch-house, if he
attempted again to intrude. Of some such measure Fitzgerald
seemed to be aware; for he never showed himself at Brookes's
again, though he boasted every where that he had been unani-
mously chosen a member of the club !
