THE FUNDS.

The arrival this morning of most importance is the
Great Western Steamer from New York, which sailed on
the Ist of August, as did also the British Queen Steamer.
It appears that the Great Western has arrived first. A
report now prevails that the British Qocen has also ar-
rived. The intelligence the Great Western brings is
not of much importance. It was generally anticipated in
the City.
An explanation has at length taken place in respect to
the notice of the four millions of Exchequer Bills, for
which the biddings are to take place to-morrow. It ap-
pears that there is but little alteration in it. First, no
tenders for sums not being loss in amount than 500,0001.
each--in the previous notice it was 800.0001. Secondly,
the time of paying the deposit will be postponed from Fri-
day, the 16th inst., to Tuesday, the 20th inst. It is ex-
pected that this explanation will cause several tenders to
be sent in to the Treasury ; one is already mentioned,
Messrs. Rothschild and Coutts ; and in the course of the day,
in all probability, we may hear of other parties who arc
forming lists.
Consols closed yesterday at 911 sellers for the Account,
and opened this morning with an improvement, and may
be quoted at present at 9114 for the; Account, Money, 9141.

Considerable bets were made at Lloyd's that the British
Queen would arrive before the Great Western steamer.
Few letters have been received from New York ; most of
them arc on board the British Queen, as it was anticipated
that she would arrive first.
