THE FUNDS.--(THIS I)AY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
I‘;.ew York Papers were received this metnint tv thr.
11th December,
(rrom the Papers of the jOth Dec.)
" ItEmmta-s.-Although business is drawing to a close
yet the excitement in the city has in no way abated this
week. We have had a succession of marine losses, such
as have nutty occurred in the sftrad spice of time. Wall-
street has suffered nost severely. It, iA estithated that
nearly 700,000 dollars hoe fallen Oil the Various offices ;
add tts this at least .300 *§o Uninsured ; so that the total
may be set down a a million of dollars. The discussion
in relation to banks and money continues ; but to all ap-
pearances things are getting easier. The trade of the city
falls off of course as the winter commences, and we cannot
expect any change for two months to come.
" MoNEv.—The meeting of Congress President's Mes-
sage, domestic Exchanges, and the discussion relative to
Banks, have all affected more or less the Money Market.
There is evidently some relief among the merchants. This
has been caused by the fact that the Banks have distributed
their favours with a 'more even hand, There has been a
very large amount of bills on England received here from
southern cities, which has come into market, reduced the
!ate of ktilange, and contributed to help the Money Mar-
ket. The United States Bank of Philadelphia has also ex.
tended its discounts very largely.
" EXCHANGES.—The sales for foreign bills for the packet
of the Bth were, for cash on England, 8i 91 ; principally at
9 ; France, 51. 25c. to 25 30 ; Export of specie this week,
7,126 dols. ; Bank Shares, 117 to 1171.
The American Papers contain a report of the Secretary
of the Treasury of great length ; also the report of the
American Navy for the last year, which states that in all
the departments activity and an increase in the ships had
taken place.

Our arrivals this morning are three French, one
tend, and three Lisbon mails—the last one by the Ranger,
sailed Jan. 1 ; one Brazil mail ; the Express sailed from
Rio Janeiro November 10 ; Ship letters from Barbadoes,
Cape of Good Hope, Oct. 2, and Calcutta, August 15.
The Cape of Good Hope papers received, state that
his Majesty's ship Leveret had arrived in Simon's Bay,
and had reported the capture of a slaver on the Mosam-
bique Coast.

" AFFAIRS or THE FRONTIER GRAHAM'S TOWN,
OCT. 13.--The Lieutenant-Governor returned to Graham's
Town. Since his departure he has been engaged in ascer-
taining the actual condition of the border farmers ; and we
are assured, on good authority, that the result is—they are
in a far more deplorable condition than he ever imagined
them to be. The frontier continues still in a most unset-
tled state, from the depredations of the Caffres."
We have received Bermuda Papers to the 25th October.
By a proclamation which appears in these Papers, the Hon.
House of Assembly was called to meet and proceed to
business on the Ist day of November. In the colony they
are already short of twenty-five thousand hhds. of sugar,
and about eight million pounds of coffee.
We have numereus arrivals this morning from most parts
of Europe, as well as from the West Indies, and Africa ;
but neither Lisbon nor French mails bring much news
of importance. The great fall of snow in the North
of Spain has for the present impeded the operations of the
Carlists' and Queen's troops.
