While our leading article of yesterday was in the Press, the Funds experienced a further decline, Comb having closed at 87i To us it is evident that this steady and progressive fall, although accelerate) at the present nioment, has been for some time contemplated by those who ar , in matters of financial operation, es teemed the most wise in their generation. We think, moreover, that two efficient causes have concurred to produce this effect, and that those will continue for some time to keep the prices of three per Cents. verging on the borders of 85, which we think their natural limit. Those causes are, first, the cessation of the arti fiaial machinery by which the prices of Stock, in the last two years, had attainei a factitious and unreason- able elevation ; secondly, the unsettled state of Europe, in reference to the distracted condition of Spain. On the first point we maintain that it is utterly im possible, in a commercial nation, abounding in industry, skill, and enterprise—with the markets of the whole world before it, that the profits of capital should, for any considerable length of time, fall short of Three and a half per Cent. The Public Funds are the first ens- potium of unemployed capital, where, as under the warehousing-system, it remains only until a more profitable market is found. The savings of income in this great Nation are in the mass perfectly astonishing, and they all set in with a steady current to the groat reservoir—the Stock Ex change. Would it be believed, although a fact offi cially declared in Parliament, that the small driblets, individually saved by servants and other poor people, and deposited in the Saving Banks, form a total ex ceeding a million sterling every six months, over and above the sums drawn out?—and is it unreasonable to*suppose that the savings of all the rest of the com munity, in the more opulent classes, equal in magnitude a sum quadruple the amount ?—lf so, including the Sinking Fund, there is an investment of more than at the rate cf fifteen millions sterling a-year poured into the Stock Exchange, to be counteracted only by the demands per contra which may arise from specu lations in land, foreign securities, or the extension of commercial enterprise. This competition na turally created a scarcity of Stock, and its never failing concomitant time-bargains for a rise. While, on the other hand, the late severe depression of the Agricultural Interest, extending itself, as it invariably does, to produce distress among the manu facturing classes, occasioned a total stagnation of en terprise, either in land or trade, while affairs bore such 'an unpromising aspect. The country, however, has arisen from its prostrate - situation, like a giant refreshed. The recognition of the Independence of the American , Republies.combined with the necessity of seeking employment for so great 2n overflow of capital, in speculations. of eve! y possible description, has produced so violent a re-action, that every channel of industi y is replenished, and therewithal a rise of wages, and its consequence, increased prices. The wages of that sudden augmentation of labour must,in the first instance,come from the unemployed ca pital in the Funds, thereby producing a depression which in its turn will be enhanced by tiMe•bargains for a fall ; and thus the profits of capital may possibly, for a time, fall even below their natural level. This inevitable consequence has been protracted for a few months,' perhaps, by the alleged unusual issues of the Bank, first, in lending largely ol mortgage; secondly, in dis counting at lower interest ; but thirdly, and chiefly, by lending on the security of Stock ; which last practice is suddenly discontinued, and, necessarily, therefore,occa sions a forced sale of what was before only pledged.— Those, we apprehend, are efficient causes for the present scarcity of money, or, more properly speaking, the un usual demand made upon the stock of unemployed capital. And it is self-evident, that whatever portion of that capital is withdrawn, by so much is the yearly profit enhanced of what remains. Thus, as we hope, we have sufficiently accounted for the depression of the Funds from the unreasonable ele vation to which they had lately attained, by accidental circumstances. But the avidity of the Stockholders to realise the profits of that great rise, is most obviously the origibal progenitor of the increased speculation, whether in land, trade, or foreign securities, and, the im pulse once given, the depression will naturally go on with an accelerated movement. The second great cause which we apprehend has in fluenced the Funds, is the present state of affairs in Eu rope, in relation to Spain. Here our cotemporaries are at issue with us; but for very different reasons. The Times asserts that the affairs of Spain can have no effect on the Funds, because it would be madness in England to interfere in any views which France may bare on Spain, even were the latter to become a province of the former. The New Times says, that it cannot possibly be, that there is ground for apprehending any disturb. ance of the peace of Europe—because (.. Oh ! most u lame and impotent conclusion") Mr. CANNING is absent from town, enjoying the recreation of rural amusements; We differ toto eel° from both those authorities, but must postpone our reasons to another opportunity. By the arrival of a mail from Buenos Ayres, we have received a Me of the Argus, from the 6th of May to the 9th of June. This Paper contains several violent at tacks on the conduct of the Brazilian Government, in, usurping the Banda Oriental. In the Argus of the 21st of May, it is stated that according to the last accounts from Monte Video, it was besieged by a regular force under the command of Don BONIPACIO CALneaow, and other corps, which were augmenting by the inhabitants of the Banda Oriental, who display extraordinary en thusiasm for the liberty of their province. In conformity with the resolution of the National Congress at Buenos Ayres, of the 9th May, Don CAR. LOS MARIA DR ALVEAR, General of the United Pro vinces, and Don Jose MIGUEL DIAZ VELEZ, were appointed to the Legation to Peru. Don DOMINGO ORO was appointed Secretary to the Legation, which was soon to proceed to its destination. The Government of Entre Rios has expressed its de termination to supply the funds necessary for strength ening the line of the Uraguay, which :hews that a war with Brazil was in some degree contemplated ; indeed it seems extremely probable; and new jealousies are ex cited against the Emperor of BRAZIL, accusing him of a negociation with Portugal, 'by which the latter is to preserve the sovereignty over Brazil. In addition to the above intelligence, and.that in serted elsewhere from the American Papers, a letter has been received from the Agent to Lloyd's, which con tains the following information ; " MONTE VIDEO, JUNE 15. es The Portuguese Admiral Lobo, le't this place to. day to proceed to Buenos Ayres, to notify to the Go. vernment, that if the Buenos Ayreans did not desist from supplying the Patriots with arms and money, war should be immediately declared against them by the Brazils, and the River forthwith blockaded." This forenoon we received a file of the Lisbon Go odie, from the Bth to the 17th instant. They state, that the news of the Kuria recovering his absolute authority, had been celebrated by public rejoicings at Goa, Macao, and Mozambique. These Papers state, that in consequence of the arrival of three French ves sels at Marseilles, from Alexandria, in Egypt, suspected to have the plague on board, all vessels from Marseilles are to be subject to the most rigorous quarantine in Portugal, even though in ballast, and they ate to be admitted only into the port of Lisbon. The Edict of the Board of Heilth fixes also, as usual,• at this time of the year, the quarantine for vessels from different parts of the world ; those from Alexandria, not t' be ad mitted into any port; from the ports of Croatia, in the Adriatic, from Corfu, the lonian Islands; Dalmatia, and Al bania, in Lisbon only, and under strict quaran tine ; from Naples and Sicily, eight days ; from Mar seilles, fifteen days ; and from the ports in its vicinity, eight days ; from Gibraltar and Algesiras, sir days ; from all the ports of France and Spain in the Mediter ranean, not specified in the edict, four days; from those ports in English America where the yellow fever usually prevails at this season of the year, twelve days, (to be admitted only at Lisboa) when the cargoes are susceptible of infection ; from the other ports, six days; from 'the Havannah, twenty-t i ne days; and from the ports of Cuba, and in the Gelph of Mexico, twelve days ; all vessels from these ports to be admitted in the port of Lisbon only. The Lisbon Papers received this morning, contain an extract from the Goa Gazette, of the Ist of January, 'which. mentions the capture, by hit BRITANNIC MA- Jury's forces, on the Bth December, 1824, of the for tress of Quitur, twenty-five or thirty leagues from Goa, in which were found treasures amounting to twelve lacs of rupees, thirty-six bronze and iron cannon, a large quantity of powder, cannon balls, stone and iron, swords, musket% /cc. A Jamaica Mail has arrived this morning, which sailed on the 12th July. The Papers do not furnish any news worth extracting. At a late hour we received the French Papers ofl Monday, and the Etoits of yesterday, by express. The accounts from Spain are very contradictory. The Madrid Gazelle represents BISSIIRRS as escaping from Maranchon, the 20th inst. in the road to Arragon, with only 20 men, and these pursued at a distance of two leagues, by 60 Carabineers of the Guard. The Elate contradicts the rumours that prevail in Paris, of Doa CARLOS being arrested, and the troops sent after BESSIIRRS having joined him. _ _ The same Journal contains an article from Coati, of the 4th instant, which states that lIRDSCHID PACHA had made a third assault on Missolonghi,and gained the first fosse, but was driven from the s-cond with the loss of 700 men. It is also said IBRAHIM PACHA bad been obliged to withdraw from Tripolizza, where he left a garrison of 2,000 men; and that the place was after wards taken by a coup do main. It is said the situation of the Egyptian army, which has been reduced to 6,000 men, is very critical. The Captain of an English brig, which art ived from the Levant, is said to confirm the account of the as sault on Missolenghi, but is silent as to the capture of Tsipolizaa. It is added, that the Greeks have been re inforced by fifteen to 18,000 men from the Islands, and that the fleet which landed them, 60 sail, proceeded to Missolonghi.

United States Papers to the 2d inst. have reached us, but they contain little news, except from South America, and that not very important. Late accounts from Chili indicate that the unhappy differences which have long existed there, and which had produced a state of anarchy and distress, have been adjusted. The sentence of death against Da AQUINE has been annulled, and all parties had united and cemented their new friendship by numerous banquets. Accounts from Rio de Janeiro to the middle of June, state, that the second expedition then preparing to sail for Monte Video, consisted chiefly of vessels with stored and ammunition. The transports of the first expedition, which sailed on the 25th of May, had on board 1,600 troops. The Congress of Peru has, in consequence of the .report of an intended attack on Colombia, passed a decree for assisting that State with troops, vessels, and armaments. BOLIVAR is authorized to raise by loan three millions of dollars, to be applied to.the defence of any part of Sinth America in which assistance may be required. Th. a.cousts from Buenos Ayres are to the 17th of May. It is stated that the Captain .of the Real Pedro had obtained possession of all the arms, and some of the munitions of General LAVALLTA ; and the latter had marched with 1,000 troops to attack the revolters, who were near Uruguay. In the address of the Executive of Buenos Ayres, at the opening of the fifth Legislature, the members are congratulated on the increase of commerce, the im proved and comfortable situation of the labouring classes, and on the establishment of schools in the city and country, by which correct views of government had been introduced, and the spirit of insubordination, which had prevailed during a long period of revolution and disorder, almost entirely suppressed. The interior affairs of the Confederation of the Provinces of Rio de 4 Plata, are represented as auspicious, their independence as siring commercial prosperity. W. learn from the Havannab, that General La Bonne has been appointed Commander of the Marines. A frigate and a gun-brig bad arrived with troops from Cadiz. The ship Fame arrived on the 4th instant front Cadiz. The frigate Cosilda was to sail in right days for Spain. The following are extracts : NEW YORK, AUGUST 1. Accounts from Monte Video, of the 25th of May, say that the Patriots, who were in great force, and well supplied with money, had taken Maldonado. and that there was a fair prospect of their soon reducing Monte Video. The whole of the province of Banda Oriental was engaged in the revolt. The Government of Baenos Ayres had placed, as a matter of precaution, a force in the province of Entre Rios, and it was supposed it could not avoid taking a more decided interest in the affairs of that province. Other accounts mention the arrival of a skip and four brigs with troops and sup plies for Monte Video, which had calmed the apprehensions of the Brazilians. A schooner bad landed supplies at Maldonado, but she was afterwards taken and carried to Monte Video. The, Peruvian Government had prohibited the importation of all Spaniih products and manufactures. Callao held out on the 23d of April, but its surrender was looked for in a few days. Much as the extreme heat of the weather has been felt in this country, it has been much more fatal in the United States. It appears, from the papers last re ceived, that the number of deaths in one week from that cause, in Philadelphia, was 180, of whom 90 were adults. At New York it bad been, within the same period, 184. Even the swallows dropped down dead in the former place. The thermometer, for nearly two months, bad not fallen lower than 95, and was generally at 100, throughout all the States of the Union. On the Rid of July it stood at 95 deg. in a current of air in the shade. In Other parts cf the country it was still higher. On the. 16th, at Philadelphia, it is quoted at 153 Jeg. in the sun. "No wonder, therefore," the Hartford Mirror says—" Nobody talks of anything but the weather : how stands the thermometer ?"- The crops are said to suffer considerably from this intense heat.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri arrived at Calais yesterday. The most expensive and extensite preparations had been previously made for her Royal Highness's reception, by the civil and military authorities of that place ; amongst the former is Our venerable Mayor, who had previously intimated that it was expected the respectable inhabitants should make the usual demonstrations of loyalty, by decorating the exterior of their houses, exhibiting branches of laurel, and the ordinary number of white flags. The Hotel de Ville, of course, cut the most conspicuous figure, in point of" costly expenditure. Upon the arrival of her Royal Highness, about five o'clock, the Pcntpiers, or volunteers of the place, were drawn out under arm;. At seven n'clock her Royal Highness proceeded to the Hotel de Ville, where a sumptuous dinner was provided. His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Mr. Marshall, was, at the particular request of her Royal Highness, present on the occasion. Her Royal Highness subsequently attended the theatre, which had been most tastefully fitted up for a public ball. This morning her Royal Highness, after having attended Mass, visited the harbour, and expressed a wish to visit the Superb, London and Calais steam packet, Captain Black,R N. which was complied with The luggage left by the - Doke and Duche.s of CAM. alum; at the apartments of the Doke of Cinsigar.suo, in St. James's Palace, was sent off on Monday morning, to .

The Right Hun. Gentleman attended a Board of the Lords of the Treasury, which was held at the Treasury Chambers, and afterwards returned to Beckenham M the afternoon. Monday last, the Earl of Liverpool steam packet ar rived at the Tower, from Ostend, with his Excellency the Duren MIZAIIIADOIL and suite on board, and about fifty passengets. Sunday last, the Lord Melville steam packet arivel at the Tower, from Calais, with Lord Focus, Lady &Amanita, and other persons of distinction on board, and about seventy pa wners, and several carriages. The LORD CHANCELLOR has given orders that the leases lielonging to the Winchester Charities be immediately tut. rendered into the hands of the Relators._ The firm of John White and Co. patent chain cable manufacturers at Sunderland, has stopped payment, The weide amount of the firm's debts we have heard stated at 70,0001.

The Jousual of the Two Seines of the 18th instant, received this morning, contains three Ordonuances of t KING, commuting the sentences of numerous indivi duals who had been condemned for political offences. A few days ago, Pierre Valade, a proprietor at St. Barthelemy, Was fined 6,000 francs and costs, upon con victim of habitual usury. Imeosruag.—A seemingly feeble mendicant, at the door of the Hammerman's Inn, Dundee, lately received with an ill grace. a penny bestowed on him by a passing stranger. " You should give me a sixpence," said the beggar, looking disdainfully on the penny. " Well, give me back the penny." It was done, and the stranger having put it into his pocket, upbraided the avaricious beggar for his insolence. The feeble beggar was quickly transformed into a robust and powerful I man. who aimed a blow at the stranger, which was only avoided by a precipitate retreat into the inn. The waiters made their appearance, and were also obliged to fly from the furious assailant, and to shut the doers to prevent him entering. Soon after the waiters armed themselves, and having seivd the fellow, had him lodged in the Police cells. One-third of the produce is the common rent of. an estate above ground ; but only one-tenth of the produce of a coal Mille. In the year 1457 a proclamation was issued by HENRY VIII. " that women should not meet together to babble and talk, and that all men should keep theft wives in their houses." A Reverend Clergyman, not twenty miles from Perth, while lately on a course of visits to the mem bers of his congregation, to make shorter work of ir, called a few of those who lived in the vicinity of one another into one house. Before proceeding to exhorta tion, he exercised his vocation as a catechist, and among other questions he put the following to old Adam —, one of his flock:—" Are all transgressions equally heinous, Adam ?" 44 No," replied Adam, a repeated the common answer to the question. 44 Very well, Adam, ye can, nae doubt, 'point out some o' that sins that are mair heinous—if )e can, name the 1)." —" The sins o' Ministers and Magistrates," rejoined Adam.

Wednesday last a Gentleman of the name of Bell, residing at the Gloucester Hotel, Btighton, sent a pair of trowsers to a laundress, of the name of Ptekham, re sidin* at No. 16, Richmond-buildings, for the purpose of being washed, incautiously cimitting to examine the pockets, which contained a Bank of England rote of 501. and also one for 101.
