ESTIMATES OF ARMY SERVICES.

The follotiving
are a few of the results of a comparison be-
tween the Estimates of the Army Services for the year ending
the 31st March, 1837, and the amounts provided, or to be pro-
viJed, for the year ending the 31st March, 1838 : •
Under the head of " Effective Services" we have less officers
by eight than in the preceding period. The number of horses
is the same.

The increase on Charge and on Amount to be provided is
32,428/. 16s. 2d. ; and the increase of Appropriation in Aid is
4,521. The amount to be provided after deducting Appro-
priations in Aid is 27,876/. 16s. 2d. more than in 1836-7.
The " Non effective Services" present a decrease of Charge
and an increase of Appropriations, from which there results a
decrease of 10,3051. Os. 9d. in amount to be provided.
The charge of the troops raised for the temporary service of
hill Majesty at the Cape of Good Hope is estimated at 40,000/.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

We have received New York Papers this morning to the
bth February, by the London Packet-ship, Gladiator. We
extract the following :
" BANK AND TREASURY ORDERS.—Some new and interesting
facts have come into our possession, relative to the Banking
Operations of our city, the effects of the Treasury Orders, &c.,
which we shall give on Monday next.
" ARRIVAL OF SPECIE.—The brig Pantheon, arrived on
Thursday at this port, from Valparaiso, and has on board
140,000 dollars in specie. The hark Ann, from Vera Cruz,
has also arrived with a considerable quantity of specie ; so
that the amount shipped this week is already more than
replaced.

" PERU.— Letters received at Boston, from Pataya, state
that accounts were received there from Valparaiso, of the sth
October, setting forth that the Chilian Government were fitting
Qui ten vessels to blockade the ports of Peru."
MARKETS 1$ CANADA.—The last Kingston Upper Ca-
nada Spectator says—" We have every appearance of dread-
ful times for the poor and labouring classes in both Canadas.
We had plenty of bread and stuff, but the speculators on the
other side have so reduced our stock, that legislative measures
are actually necessary to prevent a further drain.
"TRADE AND COMMERCE.—Stocks receded again to-day.
The small shipment of 150,000 dollars to England appears to
have bad considerable influence in money matters. For two
years there has been a steady and uniform stream of specie
flowing into the country. A sum so trifling exported ought
not to have the slightest influence. The week has closed
without much spirit in trade ; shut up as our city is by the
Closing of the various rivers, we cannot expect any considera-
ble alteration until the Delaware shall become navigable.
The ice has wholly disappeared from the lower Bay. Vessels
arrive and depart without the slightest difficulty. There are
above a dozen steam boats employed in towing vessels up and
down ; nearly all the vessels inward bound are towed up to
the city. Shares, 119; Exchange, 10 dis."
Letters received this morning from Madrid continue to
speak of the distress of the Treasury there, and that Mendi-
Zabal had proposed to the Bank a loan, but the Directors had
refused to comply with his request ; upon which, it was his
into ration to retire at the end of the month. The letters from
Madrid of the 18th ult. state that Cabrera was at Oragna with
8,000 men, and 700 cavalry, which were manoeuvring to form
'junction with the Carlists of La Mancha, under the order of
Palillos. Great fear was entertained for serious troubles in
the capital.

THE FUNDS.
Yesterday the manufacturers of unfavourable reports re-
specting commercial affairs were again at work, but they had
no material effect on the funds. Consols, after receding about
per cent., again rallied, and closed at 90 to 4 ; Money 89.'1 a ;
(jiperied this morning at same prices. Little doing as yet.

In the Foreign Market the holders of Spanish Securities
are bewildered, as they have been waiting day after day to
ascertain the result of the combined attack on the Carlists,
and as often disapFointd. Tile Spanish prices coming lower
from Paris also intimidated them in their speculations.
Spanish Active has receded this morning 1 per cent. ; closed
at 26+ f, opened at 251 I, at present 251 26 ; Portuguese,
48i 49.
HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
The New York Journal du Commerce says : —lt is ru-
Mourt d that some large amounts of specie had been shipped
on board the packet of the Ist of February. On inquiry we
learn that for particular reasons ten thousand five-franc pieces
have been shipped, and a parcel of about 15,000 Mexican
dollars just arrived from Mexico, to pay a debt in Europe
had hem ordered forward, instead of being sold here, at ten
Per cent. premium.
From accounts received from Canton, 16th October, busi-
ness is very dull there.
To the present hour there is not a feature in either of the
Markets worth notice; and Consols have been, during the
morning, 90+ to 90+ for the Account, and Money 894. Ex-
clietiuer Bills, 28 prern. ; India Bonds, 25; Bank Stock, 207.

hell‘y in the early part of the morning at 254, has since im-
proved to 254 ; Coupons, 45 ; Portuguese, 491 ; Three per

We are sorry to announce the loss of two more
Irrivich vessels. On the 10th inst. the brig Enterprise, of
112 tons burden, the property of F. F. Seekamp, Esq., and
others, was wrecked on Sherringliam Sands. Her crew
n anaged to get her off, but she had received so much damage
that as soon as she regained deep water she sank to the bottom.
She was laden with a cargo of coals for the Ipswich Gas
Company. The C4tain was part owner, and his was the
ouly share insured. He had landed, and was come to Ipswich
.to follow the remains of his wife to the grave on the same day
on which the vessel sank. On the 11th inst. the schooner
!Aft, 80 tons burden, in coming out of Shields Harbour, coal
laden, went to the bottom in deep water.—Suiji,lll Chronicle.
On Wednesday. forenoon, as some labourers were
digging in a field belonging to Samuel Forster, Esq., of
Southend, near Lewisham, they discovered two old blue china
jars, in which were about 850 gold coins of the reign of
Charles 1., value about one thousand pounds, which they im-
iediatcly took to their master. The Lord of the Manor, the
Earl of Dartmouth, it is supposed will lay claim to them.
The Chester Courant of Tuesday, noticing a
Pamphlet, says, " The volume is printed in a fine large type,
on a handsome paper, and may almost be read by the blind."
As regards this county, city, and boroughs, but little
actual stir has beer made at present by either party in prepara-
tion for the day of contest, although we have reason to believe
both are watchfully on the alert awaiting its coming, and
Whenever it shall arrive, will not be found slumbering at their
Posts. With respect to East Worcestershire, we can state,
n, P"n authority, that Mr. Cookes retires, owing to his continued
111-health, and that Mr. J. H. H. Foley, the late Member for
Proitsvich, will come forward as a candidkte on the Liberal
intc_,rest in conjunction with the present Member, Mr. Hol-
4n°' At present all is speculation in other quarters.— Wor-
cester Herald.
A deputation from the workmen of the Dock-yard
"sited on the Lords of the Admiralty during the past week,
to London, for the purpose of explaining to their Lordships
the evils resultires from the system of Classification in the
oek-yards, and the privations endured by that most valuable
tZIY of men. The subject of wages was fairly discussed, and
difference which exists between the wages in the Dock-
Yard and those of large merchant shipwrights' yards, clearly
Pointed out the daily rate of pay in the latter being consider-

, On Friday a coroner's inquest was held at the 'White
• public-house, Norwood, before W. Carter, Esq., the
coroner for this division of Surrey, on the body of a fine young
eighteen years of age, named William Brighton, who

'went about his employmentone as usual, and in the course of the
ne of the servants asked him to perform some trifling
office for her, and he replied that he had got a job to do for
himselft first, and then he would do it. He was then observed

norary derangement."
-ROTTERDAM FL:I3. 21.—This morning at one
o'clock a dreadful fire broke out in the house of adealer in
linen and calico. It is one of the highest houses in the city,
'''uu is burnt to the ground. Two adjoining houses were also
burnt, and five or si'x
is, that there much injured ; but the most lamentable
is but too much reason to believe that two
.titaeueliters of the ages of 14 and 20, and a maid-servant of
the age of SO, of the inhabitants of ne of the houses, have
in the flames or been buried in the ruins. The
"bill of this, disaster is not known, but it is supposed to be from
an
explosion of gas.
