THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
Sincapore Papers to the 24th of January have been received
at the North and South American Coffee-house.
(From the Price Current of the 24th of January.)
EUROPEAN PIECE GOODS—Very little doing.
looN—Selling in small lots at 4 to 43‘ per picul.
SALTPETRE—Of an inferior quality much wanted.
Oernm—The Falcon and Red Rover, from Calcutta, have im-
Ported about 130 chests, purchased at first sale. The intelli.
/fence brought by these vessels, stating that a large quantity was
on board the Research for this place, has induced some of the
Armenians and Jews, who are expecting supplies by her, to
offer Patna at 720 dollars (cash) on delivery. We have not,
however, heard of any sale being effected except five chests, at
780 dollars, cash, in two months, which hadtbeen previously con-
tracted for. Quotations must be considered nominal.
It was stated that the Company's servants at Canton had
taken possession of an island, in the vicinity of Linton, with a
view of smuggling the whole of their cargoes. We have since
been informed that this statement is in some respects erroneous.
Letters from the eastward state positively that arrangements
are in progress for delivering up the 'l'enesserian provinces to
the Burmese authorities. It is expected they will be com-
Pleted in five or six months. We have not heard on what terms
they are to be surrendered.
By the arrival of the London line of packet ship Ontario,
Capt. Sebor, from New York at Portsmouth, Papers have been
received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the
2d of May. The Ontario has be contending with easterl winds for the last fortnight ; this i esn the first time the Ontarioy has crossed the Atlantic, being an entire new ship.
(From the New York Papers to the 2d of May.)
THE TARIFF.—In the House of Representatives, Mr. M. Duffle
said that the course prescribed by his amendment would afford
the best security for the collection of the Revenue; he expressed
his conviction that the present Tariff system was not only de-
structive to the commerce, but ruinous to the commercial marine,
and oppressive to the Southern States, as well as the manufac-
turing districts.
Extract of a letter from Bahia of 4th March :—" 1 have
nothing novel or interesting to communicate from this quarter,
but that our market is now perfectly overstocked, and sales ex-
tremely difficult, except at moderate prices. On Sunday even-
ing last, near the Opera-square, his Excellency the Marquis de
Caman, President of this province, was assassinated in alighting
from his carriage ; he was shot by 'a
person on horseback."

SURREPTITIOUS COINAGE of SILVER.
tort is Said that an investigation is going on at the Mint, relative
co a surreptitious coinage of silver, like the currency of this
th„unirY, and whictris believed to have been carrying on for some
c-e Past, more particularly on the continent, but to a certain
f,rnt also in England. This coinage is made the exact resem-
arlce of, and of the same material as, that in circulation, so as
deceive even the most experienced eye, and a very large
anletint mug,
tenth> it is presumed, have been distributed, before at-
fc„,,, n ors, any way directed to it. The temptation. to this
Zmaht-""t nch it must be designated, notwithstanding the
4 Yin the value of the material in both cases, arises from
high seignorage which is taken here on the coinage of silver,
, 'eh made it in the first instance a very profitable operation, and
tat profit is now rendered greater still by the subsequent decline in c',')F Price of bar silver. One pound of this now costs 595., but when
'ned is to be made into 66s which is a gain of nearly 12 per
cent. on the single operation.- and when it is considered how fre-
quently this may be repeatedjwithin the year it follows that the
e,saPital so employed may be made to yield emit. per cent. per an-
"ln, or perhaps more. There must be, however, some expense
"‘tendant on the distribution of this imitation silver coin, which,
'ePendently of the risk, must go materially to the diminution
this profit. The parties would of course repay themselves by
,g gold for the silver, which they would either carry abroad
rethe
the shape of coin • or, which is the same thing, employ it
.in
purchase of good's. This is a consequence which was dis-
!nctly foreseen and predicted when the high seignorage on
silver was established, as 'appears from the protest made by
:14td Lauderdale in 1816, 'at the time the measure was un-
,er discussion in Parliament, and also from various por_
I..._"'ns of the evidence taken before the bullion commit-
re which sat in 1819, but there has been no direct
emotion until now of this hazardous trade having become a
matter
of mercantile speculation. The system was as wrong, with
some slight diffbrence only in degree, as that which declared a
Poundn note and a shilling in 1810 equal to a guinea, and there
t some remedy must be devised without delay. The
silver coinagemethod would be, to declare the present rate of our
l'c standard, but to open the Mint, as formerly, to the
Onitllla which would have the effect a raising the price of silver
to the level, anti of altering the relative value of the sovereign ;
our latter of which, rather than to the former consequence,
able notions with regard to the coinage form perhaps an insurer-
, obJection. The alternative would be to call in the present
silver coinage and substitute a new one of the old standard, and
ri, as it was previous to 1816, to the public. The kubject has fc °me, we have reason to believe, a very anxious one to those
°ral whom the remedy, if any, is to emanate.—Times.

FRENCH THEATRE.
, Those interesting pieces Le Manage de Raison and Les Suites
intna;44_,Nariage de Raison were performed last night. They belong
tfetit class of French vaudevilles, which are peculiarly calcu-
to engage the feelings by their simplicity and their trueness
1! . nature. There is no object more touchingly pathetic than that
an artless girl, like Suzette, sacrificed to the calculating sot-
idn of her superiors and married for convenience-sake to
another person than him' who possessed her affections. Made-
11:inoiselle lams, as Suzette, has given sufficient proof that she is
thaniite. ponversant with the higher attainments of her profession.
~.. With that easy gaiety which characterizes the parts she has
:!..oye.frequen:ly appeared in ; she is an actress whose talents, in
ldition to her beauty, render her a valuable acquisition to the
theatre, and we witnessed her performance with great pleasure,
PORTS as
that of M. PELISSIER as Bertrand, and of M. LA-
