THE FUNDS, SATURDAY.

Foust o'CLocc.
Yesterday the aspect of the market was pacific, of
which the Hebrew Bulls taking advantage, sold
out largely, but not to an extent sufficient to clear
oft their accounts.

We have seven expresses in from Paris, the con-
tents of which transpiring before the market opened,
Consols, which were yesterday at 741, began to-day
at 74, and gradually declined to 7341. They have
since revived, and now stand 7311, the market
heavy arJ unusually gloomy, with a general im-
pression that, notwithstanding the sanguine hope so
long entertained of accommodation between France
and Spain, there is now no other prospect than that
of war. French Rentes, latest price, 78f. 15c.
FORElON.—Spanish were done yesterday at J 5, •
but bargains have been muds to-day at 331—they
are now 33k. Script, 324. In Columbian, what
little has been done may be quoted at 48; but this,
as well as other Foreign, is nearly stagnant.
According to an Account printed by order of the
House of Commons, of the salaries, allowances,
and other emoluments of the Receivers General of
Taxes, the aggregate amount drolleries is 30,0001.
per annum, and the allowances 1,4571. 15s.
On Friday last Chief Justice Dallas tried all the
causes appointed for the Sittings after Term, at
Westminster, in the Court of Common Pleas.

His Majesty's steam-packet the Dasher, arrived
at Dover on Sunday afternoon, from Calais, hav-
ing on boned his Excellency the Duke de San Lo-
renza, late Ambassador from Spain at the Court of
Paris. As it was known for upwards of an hour
before, from the flags hoisted on board the packet,
that his Excellency was on board, great crowds had
thronged the Piers to witness his disembarkation.
On entering the harbour, the illustrious Duke was
received with three tines three cheers, which were _
repeated when he landed front the packet. He ar-
rived in town on Monday evening, between five and
six o'clock, from Paris. He came along the Lon-
don-road, fidlowed by a large concourse of people
buzzaing, while others loudly cheered him as he
passed. As he approached Westminsteisbridge the
populace disengaged the horses from his carriage,
and drew it to his residence, where he was received
with acclamations. The Duke seemed much pleased,
and gratified with his reception, as it manifested.
the abhorrence which the people entertain against
the politics of the Holy Alliance, and against the
meditated, attack of the French on the Constitution
and Liberties of Spain.

We have received New York papers to the 24th
ult.—They state that the provincial Parliament of
Lower Canada assembled at Quebec on the 10th,
when the session was opened by a speech from His
Excellency the Governor-General, the Earl of
Dalhousie. The principal subjects to which the
attention of the Parliament is called are, the pro.
jected union of the Provinces, and the finances of
the Government. "No bill," says the Governor,
" of appropriation having passed. the last session to
themeet the expenccs of civil government, you
must be aware of the difficulties and embarrass-
ments thereby thrown upon me. I have endeavour-
ed as much as I could to avert the great inconve-
niences to the public, which 1 stated in my message
to you on the 6th of February last, by paying up
the usual established expenses tbr the half year then
current; but I have not felt mpsclf justified in do-
ing so beyond that period, and there consequently
remains a very considerable arrear due to several of
the public servants." Again, His Excellency says,
" I um convinced that every member of this legis.
lature must regret that the progress of the public
interests for some years past has been so materially
interrupted. I will not therefore on this occasion
dwell upon past events; the remedy lies in your
hands, and to you I leave it, with my most earnest
recommendation, that you will seriously consider
the incalculable injuries which have been, and must
continue to be, accumulated nu the province, tv rile
the executive branch of the constitution remains
disabled from exercising its just and legitimate and
most useful powers." •
