TII FUNDS AND STOCK EXCHANGE.

The clouds bang heavily over tittle places at the
opening of the latter; but the son, whleh was ob.
aervable through Lord CASTLEREAGH'S speech in the
Hesse of Comm.., lest night had the effect of die.
prising them—loch mighty power is there in the
words of • Minister. It is an unpleasant work to de-
, prise a man of that confidence which gives him
hope in these dismal times. For our own part
we can find tin room for eaultation in what the
Noble Viscount said. Ile could not do less : the
officer who leads his men to the forlorn hope, ad-
dresses them in the words of success and vino ory.—
The Noble SECRETARY of STATE is also a Lord of
Truk and Plautstious ; if he were discoursing upon
commerce and colonies, he would talk of the success
of the one, and of the prosperity of the other, though
the Powers of the Continent were leagued against the
former, and the Americana were fining out a fleet
to snack the latter. Ills prospective picture then,
goes for more at the Stock Exchange than elsewhere.
We expected some failures on this, the sailing
day; bat two time duckling., of no consequence,
were all we could hear of. The greatest part of the
peabere were beers, and they broke the fall of etch
other greatly by arrangements.
The morning was considered °unloose, for the
3 per Cent. Reduced opened at 61 only, it rose, how.
ever, fell two per cent. by one o'clock. It was near-
ly the isms wish the Three per Cent. Consols—they
rose almost two per cent. remaining by lire o'clock
at 66f. As to Bask Stock, which is more enquired
after, es matter of cariosity, than bought and sold, its
greatest variation was from ROO to 2121, which is
not so great a proportionate difference as in the Go.
verninetit Stocks; indeed, we find there are but few
who interested themselves oboist it to•d3y, tud they
were chiefly jobbers.

changing the STANDARD or great lald-mark of every
man, poor and rich ?

, Sto,—Prepare your Readers for soma very extra-
ordissary disroteries with respect to the canna:ion
between the Beak sad a few Bankers and Merchants.
The secrets most ust, for a few of these persons who
have bees so highly fatoared have over speculated,
and their stairs meat be replied at lest. The Pahlie
will then not wonder at the warmth with which cer-
tain city advocates plead the cam of that :r.of
horse in 77ireadaredle-dreet, which, if it has made
the (*thine of a few adventurers, will, is the end,
hare undone thousands of honest tradesmen.
