THE FUNDS.
STOCK IEXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.
There are few events of a commercial nature, how-
ever remote they may be from any connection with
the Funds, that are not pressed, with all the ardour
of speculation, into the service, and made, for the
time, subservient to the views of one or other of the
parties whose conflicting operations are now almost
the exclusive causes of fluctuation. The reported
failure of a large banking-house in the North, has
been made this morning the subject of much gloomy
apprehension ; large sales have been anticipated, the
destruction of confidence predicted, and all the train
of evils which ingenuity can father upon such an
event, have been marshalled in dismal array. But
the Market has not fallen, and we apprehend that if
this circumstance should unhappily turn out to be
true,, it will not at all interfere with the speculation
which has the rise for its object.
Large purchases have been made by the party this
morning, and the Market is steady and good. Con-

Reports of a change in the Administration, which

miralty ; Lord SIDMOUTH being taken to the Privy
Seal, in the place of Lord Witsrstoimatm, who is
