THE FUNDS.

A serious depression has taken place in the Fund,
within the two last days, no less than 2 per cent.
Much alarm has been excited in the City in conse.
quence, as the reason for the depression could not be
discovered; money being, it is said, so abundant at
tbis time in the market, that it may be had at
4 per tent. for short periods, on proper security...
Several causes have been stated for the depression_
one, that large holders of Stock are now selling out
of the English Funds to purchase in the French, by
which they gain nearly IC6 per cent.; another is, theta
very respectable House in the City is at present negoet.
ating with the French Government for a large loans
in order to enable them to meet their pecuniary en.
gagetnents with the Allies.

A few days ago we stated that many heavy sales
of Stock were effected by 'lowers of Attorney for
foreigners and others ; the sales of this description
still continue.— Consols this morning opened at 62i
for Money—for Account 654—Ruduced 62 fi. At
twelve o'clock Comas fell to 62! for Money, and for
the accounts to 6'2 3—Reduced to 623. A iwincipal
Broker, belonging to the house above alluded to,
served the Commissioners for the liquidation of the
National Debt this day with the whole of the Stock
they wanted at 621.
We have, as is our duty, stated such causes as we
hear assigned fur the fall of the Funds; but ae can
name another which we consider as the real one.
The Stockjobbers have tor some time been, on some
mistaken calculation, mostly 80, ; the turn, as is
always the case, has arrived, and hovers before art
sellers now—hence the depression ; but a fall in the
Funds is no evil whatever to the Public. They Inuit
fall much lower before things find their level.

Yesterday, about twelie o'clock, her Mann;
accompanied by Princess amassers,, arrived at the
Queen's Palace from Windsor, escorted by a party of
light horse. At three o'clock, the Sheriffs of London
and Middlesex, Sir Tstomasi Bal. and Mr. THORP..
accompanied by the City Renaembranccr, were intro.
duced to her Majesty, to :know her commands when
she would be pleased to receive the congratulatory
Address of the Corporation of the City of London
upon the marriage of the Duke and Duchess el
Gm/came, when her Majesty was pleased to appoint
next Tuesday, at four o'clock.—The Sheriff. thee
proceeded to Gloucester House to take the commands
of the Duke and Duchess upon the same subject.
Viscount Stowe-Kern presented the large turtle which
was made hiss a present of by Sir G Cocxeune, tc•
ether with a fine large buck, to the Burgesses* of
ether
who yesterday afternoon partook of hit
Lordship's bounty, with the addition of plenty of
the best wines, at the Thatchcd-house Tavern, St.
James's-street, where they spent the evening in great
conviviality.
It will be seen by the list of subscriptions for the
relief of the suffering poor in this day's paper, that his
Royal Highness the Duke de Bantu has subscribed
s02(10, with an intimation that he will give a morally
contribution of stso tilt' the
.spring. Thii is a eery
noble and princely donation, and shews a genets:oil
of disposition which may counterbalance a multitude
of those foibles which, whether truly or falsely, have
been ascribed to his Royal Highness.
A Flanders Mail arrived last night, and brought
some articles of interest. The Austrian stilly is-
ebnot to be reduced. ter 1.50,M0 men„ a citcsor-
stance from which it may be interred that that
Power is no way apprehensive of any speedy rupture'
of the Peace that has been restored to Europe. 'Tie
foreign Journals speak of two new great Protectorates
as being about to be organised for tie general safety :
one in the North. a^.l one in the South ; the former
to be 'vomited to the latter to Austria. The'
lesser States of the Continent wish to see the Imperial
[dignity of Germany restored i 3 the person of e•
Emperor of AUSTRIA ; hut this will probably be ep.,
posed by the greater Powers, whose relative im•
portarce would thereby be lessened. Some of the
Southern States, whose dominions are extensive, are
neither for the prcjected Protectorates, nor for the
restoration of the Imperial dignity, as either, they
think, will tend to infringe their respective indepsn•
'deuce. But, in fact, no one can foresee what ar-
rangements will take place : it is plain, however,
that the approaching Congress will have ahundant
mattere sot
for discussion.

much conversation, are still visible. They vary in
number and position daily. On Monday afternoon
only two of the Inger ones could be seen ; one of
them almost in the centre, and the other near the
equator in the eastern limb.. They are so large as to
be visible with a tolerably good spyglass, taking
cave to use smoked glass to stand the rye from Ll*
sun's rays.
