THE FUNDS.

We notice the Funds, particularly because at the
present crisis, there is no intelligence more interesting
to tlion of our Readers who hold Funded Property,
which jai:hourly liable, from various events, to con-
villetable.iluctuations. Yesterday. on the contents of
tliFranoce-Reottrr's Speech being known, the S per
Consols rose from 6St, to 631, and m .;ntained
their price to the close of theme:et. This morning, on
the serious occurrences of yesterday. and the outra-
geous conduct of the snob towards the NUMMI Renew,.
being duly considered, the Consols were done as low
as 63;, but before one o'clock they rallied again,
and the price remained steady at 631.

Tux DUCHESS OF CUNINIRLAND.-..Medical Report
of yesterday :—" Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of CUMBORLAND has bad sle•p. and is going on as
well as can be expected."

Strangers were, as we have already stated, ex-
eluded from the House of Peers yesterday g, but we
understand that in the elimination of the Duke of
MoNraosa, his Grace was clearly and decidedly of
opinion that the glass of the royal carriage had been
perforated by ballets. Lord GRAY put some ques-
,tions to Lord JAMB/ MURRAY, who was also exa-
mined, and it is understood that the purport of them
was to chew the probability of no bullets having
been fired. His Lordship, however, was indignant
at the outrage offered to the kaoarr. Lord Gals-
vu.s.a is said to have spoken with the most marked
devise and indignation against the atrocious attempt.
The Address was voted immediately after his Lord-
ship sat down.
Yesterday the Hoe. Mr. and Mrs. CocitaAva ar-
rived at their house in Portman-square. from Clifton.

Tye MISTING OF PARLIAMIDITo—This event which
has naturally created an unusual degree of interest
in the minds of the public, (all rinks looking with
anxiety to what may be the conduct of its Members)
has also produced an enpsual degree of bustle at
both ends of the town, in consequence of the great
numbers of persons it has brought into the metropo-
li}.: this is more particularly to be observed at the
Lottery Offices; as the absence of many persons till
now from London, prevented them from making
their pi:rebates before the Ent day of Drawing.—
Next Friday will be the Second Day, and as there
are no fixed Prizes for the third day, the whole of
the Capitals now in the Wheel may then be drawn,
consisting of one of 20,000 Guineas, two of 5000
Guineas, and upwards of SO other Capitals.
COVINT GARDEN TH ZATIII.—.A new Afterpiece,
lentided the Roans, was produced here last night. It
is of the class and description of the popular Piece of
the Mogtio. —it wealthy French merchant is robbed
land murdered in the Forest of Orleans. During the
perpetration of the crime two ravens fly over the scene,
to whom the dying man pointing, says to his two
murderers, " these birds will bear testimony against
Tote' Two innocent men are taken up and tried
Ifoq .stir, murder, under very suspicious .circam-
I Pains, and at the moment when the entreat of
lim•ifyldenco is running strong against diem, tarp
miens fly across the Court. The two real :43K1
deters, who happen to be present, recollecting the
words of the dying man, are struck with horror, and
one of them makes a full confession of their guilt.—i
The early scenes derived considerable interest from
the exertions of Miss 3. Boom, in the character of.
_Login Clakfraoc. When pleading for her father, a
respntable tradesman, she was most interesting and
impressive. The manly an parental sentiments of
OM Cloirfross, the father, were delivered with great
energy and feeling by Mr. Timer. The piece was
• very well sited, and went off with eclat.
Coan-Facnapos, JANUARY 29.—We had a pretty
good supply of Wheat fresh in this morning Irons
Suffolk, and a large quantity being left over Iron.
last day, of inferior quality, for which there is ro
divined, web description is almost unsaleable, but
line quality sells freely at Monday's prices. Prime
Barbet is lull as dear on account of its scarcity, but
the middling qualities cannot be got off, except at
low prices foe grinding. Fine old Oats are rather
dearer. In other articles no alteration.'

OLD BAlLKY.—Yesterday Jahn was convicted
of bigamy, at the instance of his own son. The pei.l

in the year 1799, he. found his first wife In Blown-
low-street L.yintin Hospital ; she avoided him,
, and he went to sea again ; fought in the battles of
Copenhagen and the Nile, and bad got wounded..
He married his last wife from an utter ignorafice-
dip laws of the country. He also stated that-he had
MOM imended in the head, and bad since been visited
by n.paralltie stroke.—The poor man exhibited the
strongest proofs of the oath of his narrative ; he
could bear bat very little. and his organs of speech
seem to have entirely left him. He threw himself on
the merciful consideration of the Court and the Jury
—The following were convicted of felony : J. Gilberts
for stealing a miniature picture; Mery Davis, fur
stealing ss. a gold ring. &c.; Elia. King, Elix. Mur
tell, and J. Redd, for stealing two pillows, two blan-
