2111 C FUNDS.

All the reports of yesterday in regard to Lis Maj..sty's
health having died away, this morning the Funds have re-
sumed their former steadiness. Consols, which left off
yesterday at 93/ for the Account, opened this morning at
93i I, and for Money 94; as yet little business is going
forward. To-day the books close at the Bank for the
assents and dissents of the Four per Cents. ; at a later
hour in the day we may give some communication on the
subject.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds have got up
1 per cent.

A Madras Extraordinary Gazette, dated Dec. 5,
states that it is reported from a channel, through which it
gives credit, that the obnoxious half batta orders have
been cancelled by the Court of Directors ; but as yet the
intelligence rests on the authority of private letters, but
with full confidence that it will at an early period be con-
firmed by orders of the Governor-General in Council.
Canton Papers have just been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house to the ISth of November.
They contain the Governor's long reply to the British
Merchants' petition.
The Select Committee have, in the most handsome man-
ner, explained the views to the British merchants at Can-
ton, in a letter which we hope we may one day be per-
mitted to publish. We understand that additional regu-
lations are suggested by them, of which the Governor
has declared that there are some which may be adopted.
We cannot conclude without congratulating the public on
indications of a favourable change already experienced in
the transactions of business at Canton.

COM SIELLCIAL }LEILA RR'S.

In the commencement of the month there was much
activity amongst the Opium brok,rs. Several parcels of
Patna were sold at 1845, and Mawa at 820. The demand
was of that duration that prices have again fallen.
There is still much obstruction experienced from the
Mandarin boats cruising in the neighbourhood of Linton.
In consequence of the Company's annual supply ofwoolleus
being kept out of the market, there has been a demand
for every description of this manufacture, though not ac-
companied with an advance in the prices.
Report speaks favourably of the quality of this year's
product of tea, but states the quantity to be diminished.
The tea merchants and various manufacturers connected
with British trade are suffering severely under the existing
state of affairs. Trade is generally very dull, and want
of money much complained of amongst the Chinese, as
the Company's Treasury will not be opened for bills on
Bengal until a favourable termination of the pending ne-
gociations.
His Excellency the Magistrate has issued, we are told,
a proclamation concerning English country ships, that on
entering the port of Canton every ship must pledge herself
to take an export cargo, before she is allowed to sell her
import goods.
Consols have been fluctuating from 931 to 931 for the
Account; at present they are 93-ilf 1, and for money 93i
to I.
An Express has arrived from Paris, via Boulogne ; but
nothing his transpired.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish (which got up II per
cent.) is the chief attraction.

SYDENHAM, OR MEMOIRS OF A MAN OF
Tux Woutn.—The popularity of this new Novel daily in-
creases which may be accounted for on several grounds ;
firstly, as regards the developement of the state of exclu-
sive society in Laudon, especially with respect to the two
rival queens of ton ; secondly, the singular exposition
given in the work of the intrigues in high life; and
lastly, the disclosure of the private springs of certain recent
state manoeuvres, with the sketches of CANNING,
the Duke of- &c. &e.
A new Miscellany or EncyclopEedia, under
the very comprehensive title of " The Library of General
Knowledge" is, we perceive, announced se on the eve of
publication. If the talents of an Edi,or, who is already
favourably known by his various attainments and accom-
plishments, may be taken as a fair warranty fur the success
of his publication, then we may confidently predict that
the " Library of General Knowledge," under the super-
intendence of the Rev. Mr. GLEto, will meet with pro-
portionate success.
