THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Dutch mails,
with ship letters from the River Gambia, Bombay, Bth Oct.,
Singapore, 18th, and Cape of Good Hope, 22d Dec.
A Jamaica mail has arrived by the Lord Melville—sailed
on the 30th January, and from St. Thomas's Bth February.
Jamaica papers are received to the 31st January by this mail,
from which we extract the following
" We adverted on Saturday to the short crops of sugar ex-
pected in the parishes of Vere and Clarendon, and other south
side parishes. We have to add that the prospects of the
coffee-planters are still less promising. In Port Royal St.
George's, arid Manchester, the expected crops will be very
short—in many instances not averaging more than half. We
hope that what is made will command good prices.
We are anxiously waiting the arrival of some vessel from
Carthagena, now under blockade. We hope there will be no
necessity of having recourse to hostilities ; but that the Go-
vernment of Bogota will have seen the necessity of acceding
to the demands of the British Government."

The Jamaica Price Current has the following
" SUGAR.—Owing to the late unfavourable accounts from
Europe, our Sugar Market labours under considerable de-
pression. Since the arrival of the last packet, none has been
brought forward for sale. The prices at the commencement
of the week varied at from 50trs. to 564. We wait the next
public sale ere we can give any idea of what the price now
really is."
BILLS ON Losowv.-7The Commissariat prem. is 20 per
cent. payable in dollars or doubloons. Private Bills are from
17} to 18; some few have been sold 17d.
We have received Demerara papers to the 31st December.
They state :—" We alluded a few evenings ago to the visit
of a French brig-of-war to this colony. The avowed object
of her mission was to ascertain the working of the appren-
ticeship system in the British colonies, previous to such an ex-
periment being tried in those belonging to the French nation."
It is reported that the property of the Kingston, Jamaica,
merchants at stake in Colombia, amounts to one million
sterling.
The private letters received from St. Sebastian yesterday,
state that General Evans was to have commenced his opera-
tions against the Carlists on the 6th inst. Had this taken
place we should have known the fact by the French telegraph.
His Majesty's ships Madagascar, Wasp, Forte, Race-
horse, .Nimrod, Champion, and 'Wanderer, sailed on the 12th
January to blockade the port of Carthagena. The blockade
will extend to all parts of New Grenada.
A Jamaica Paper of the 7th January, contains eleven co-
lumns of correspondence between the British Envoy at Bogota
and the Government of New Grenada, which has been tran-
slated from the Extraordinary Gazette of New Grenada of
the Bth December last ; and the official communications have
been forwarded to Lord Palmerston, giving the latter a gene-
ral view of the proceedings at Panama, and which led to the
imprisonment of Mr. Russell, his Britannic Majesty's Vice_
Consul. The official dispatches of Mr. Turner, his Majesty's
Envoy-Extraordinary, under date of the 28th November last,
to the Secretary of State of New Grenada, are also given,
containing the conditions required by the British Government to
be exacted from the latter, in atonement for its conduct in this
unfortunate affair ; and the answer of Senor Lino de Penal°,
as the Representative of the Grenadian Government, detailing
the occurrences, and showing the incompetency of the Pre-
sident of that Republic to interfere, directly or indirectly,
with the legal course of judicial proceedings adopted in this
matter, and traced out by the Constitution of the Republic.
It is presumed that his Majesty's Government would not,
upon slight grounds or a cursory view of this case, assume so
decisive and hostile an attitude against a friendly nation.
These papers highly approve of Viscount Palmerston's deter-
mination to adopt measures for maintaining the dignity and
honour of the British nation, thus compromised in the person
of its Representative.

The conditions demanded by the British Government are
as follows :

" 1. The immediate liberation of Mr. Russell.
" 2. The removal from office of those functionaries who
have been guilty of misconduct in this affair.
- -

"3. The restoration of the British Consular office, along
with the documents and seals belonging thereto—this restitu-
tion to be made- to his Majesty's Consul in the most respect-
ful and public manner—giving to his Majesty the most ample
satisfaction.

" 4. That the sum of one thousand pounds sterling be paid
to Mr. Russell as a compensation for the cruel injuries he has
been made to suffer."

Consols for th• Account 901 i.

Yesterday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock,
as Mrs. Lashbrooke, an old lady, 75 years of age, residing
with her daughter, was sitting near the fire, after breakfast,
she was suddenly seized with an apoplectic fit, and falling
forward her cap and dress must instantly have become ignited,
but, by the presence of mind of a female servant, the flames
were extinguished; but should Mrs. Lashbrook recover the ex-
tensive injuries she has sustained, it is feared the fit of apo-
plexy will prove fatal.
Yesterday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, as
Captain W. L. Sibthorp, of South-street, Park-lane, was
mounting his horse at the door of his residence, the animal
gave a sudden start, and threw Captain Sibthorp off, who, in
falling, we regret to state, broke his right thigh bone, and se-
verely cut and bruised his right temple.
The first meeting of Baronets this season is sum-
moned by the Secretary, Mr. Broun, to be held to-morrow, at
two o'clock, at Sir Robert Fitz Wygram's, in Connaught-
place, Sir Francis Shuckburgh in the chair, in the absence of
Sir Roger Greisley, M. P. Nearly four hundred Baronets
have signed the memorial to his Majesty, to resume their an-
cient privilege of wearing the badge of Ulster.
Upon the birth-day of the Duke of Cambridge
tournament between a party of heralds and horsemen, dressed
as Saracen and Christian knights, was performed with great
pomp before the Court at Hanover, and excited great admira-
tion. His Royal Highness is deservedly very popular in the
kingdom.

r‘ Gentleman" is a name often bestowed on a well-
dressed blackguard, and withheld from the right owner, who
only wears its qualifications in his heart.—New Monthly May,
