CITY, 7'IVELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are the French mails, and ship
letters from Demerara, Buenos Ayres and Teneriffe ; Penang,
Oct. 5 ; Malacca, Oct. 20 ; Singapore, Oct. 22 ; and Cape
of Good Hope, Dec. 10.
The Paris Papers, by the express, state that towards the
close of the Bourse, it was stated as positive that Marshal
Soult was to be in the ministry. A Paris evening journal
states that it would be officially announced the following day.

We have received Singapore Papers to the 23d Oct-; The
following are extracts:—
" Our Canton correspondent writes on the 30th Sept., that
a report was prevalent that the missing ship Hamoody was at
Manilla, dismasted.
" CANTON, SEPT. 28.—Opium—For the last month our
Opium Market has been exceedingly dull, and we do not be-
lieve that a single chest has been sold by foreigners during
that time for cash. The Chinese have much difficulty in clear-
ing their time bargains.—Malwas have been obliged to sub-
mit to considerable reduction from the nominal price to ob-
tain the needful. Sales of the very best chests have been
made by them at 720 drs., and the nominal prem. is 730 drs. ;
but those holding good opium, of which it is believed there is
a small portion in the remaining stock, are not willing to sell
at this rate. For the Bengal drug there is no demand, and
prices quite nominal ; 760 dollars for Patna; 680 dollars for
Benares ; since the Governor's reply to the Opium memorial,
there has been some anxiety to buy at two and three months,
and as much as 30 dollars to 40 have been given above the
quoted rates for such bargains—paying 50 dollars bargain
money.
" EXCHANGE ON LONDON.—The shutting of the Company's
Treasury* and the intimation that no more advances will be
made this season, except to those who have already applied
for them, would have a material effect on the rate of ex-
change, raising it 4s. 10d. certainly—and probably higher".
We have received Demerara Papers to the 22d Dec. They
contain a Government notice and regulations for apprenticed
labourers, who are to be entitled to the usual Christmas holi-
days, formerly allowed in the colony to slaves.

THE FUNDS.

Towards the close of the Consol Market yesterday after-
noon, the Funds improved, which may be attributed to its being
known that the rate of interest upon discounts was abandoned
by the Bank Directors for the present, and the Foreign Ex-
changes having assumed a little better appearance. -
Consols, which closed at 891 90 for the Account, opened
this morning at 894 90; Money same; Exchequer Bills, 26
27 ; India Bonds, 221 ; Bank Stock, 2071.
Spanish Active, 244 I ; Portuguese, 484 ; Three per Cents.,
301 311; Colombian, 251 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
53i 541.

A little mine has lately been set on foot at New-
lyn, near Penzance, called Wheal Newlyn ; and not being
able to open their adit on the course of the lode, in conse-
quence of a fish cellar over it, the miners were compelled
to drive in another direction to come on the lode, when
they found a cavity in the earth about eighteen feet in
length, with water about a foot deep, in which was disco-
vered a quantity of fish of the conger eel species, although
there appears to be no inlet or outlet for the water. It is
supposed that a mine was worked on the spot about 150
years since, but how the fish got there is unexplained, as
it is upwards of 70 feet from high water marks. We have
seen some of the fish, which are about eight or nine inches
long, and it is supposed that there arc many large ones in
the same place.— West Briton.
A most providential escape from immediate death
occurred on Saturday morning last, at the colliery belonging
to Messrs. Bennett and Co., Brampton Moor, near Chester-
field. The colliers, consisting of about ten in number, in-
cluding one or two boys, were going to their work, and were
all but in the very act of descending, when a most tremendous
rush of water was heard into the pit, which in a few minutes
filled up the shaft to the very amazing depth of thirty feet of
water. The usual time for the men to go down, was half an
hour earlier than they were ready to descend on this morning,
though the delay, we are informed, arose from no real neces-
sity ; no particular reason appeared to exist why, on this very
morning, they should be later than usual.—Derby Reporter.

Oa Thursday evening, between nine and ten o'clock,
whilst Mrs. Rider, of Guildford-street, Russell-square, accom-
panied by her two daughters, was sitting in the carriage, at
the door of a house in Gower-street, where sho was going to
an evening party (the coachman having left his box for the
purpose of knocking), the horses became startled, and set off
at full speed. Fortunately, on turning the corner into Bed-
ford-square, one of the horses fell, which afforded an oppor-
tunity of stopping the vehicle, and extracting the terrified
ladies from their perilous situation, otherwise the most fearful
consequences might have ensued.
David Morris, Esq., late banker of Carmarthen,
having acceded to the requisition of a most numerous body
of electors of that borough and Llanelly, to offer himself
as a candidate at the next dissolution of Parliament, has
nearly completed a most successful canvass of the consti-
tuency. No doubt now remains of Mr. Morris's return ;
and his friends, accordingly, are in the highest spirits at the
speedy prospect of wiping off the disgrace of being mis-
represented by a Tory.—Bristol Gazette.
THE INYLUEI4ZA.—The epidemie still continues
its ravages in this district, but for the last few days its
course has not been so rampant and uncontrolable as during
the previous three weeks.—York Courant.

MORTALITY IN EDINBURGII.—It 1S painful to
have to notice the extraordinary number of deaths in this city
in the course of last month (January), in consequence of the
prevailing epidemic, as will appear from the following state-
ment, which maybe relied on as authentic, the necessary infor-
mation having been procured from the records of the different
burying. grounds :
In the month of December, 1835, the total number

of interments was 4OO
Ditto, 1836, ditto

Less in December, 1836

In January, 1836, total number of interments ... 413
Ditto, 1837, ditto

Increase in the month of January, 1837......... 323

The remains of the late Sir Ferdinand Acton, Bart.,
will be brought from Paris for interment in the family mau-
soleum at Aldenham, Shropshire.
On Saturday last, about five o'clock, three fellows
stole from the shop of the Union eating-house, in Union-
street, Borough, a large piece of beef—they were pursued
by Mr. Galloway, and one of them was secured and taken
before Mr. Trail, at Union Hall, and remanded till Tues-
day, when he was discharged, a link being wanted in the
evidence to convict him. On the same evening three legs
of pork were taken from the door of Mr. Harman, in the
same street, which they got clear off with ; and on Tues-
day evening 541 b. of beef were taken from a shop in White-
street, in the same neighbourhood.
A person who resided in the Gallowgate died re-
cently, under the following painful circumstances :—He
was bled in the arm, and the incision carefully bandaged.
On leaving, the surgeon left instructions that the bandage
should be removed at night, and another substituted. This,
it appears, had been neglected, and the original bandage
having burst, the blood flowed profusely. The afflicted in-
dividual then rose from his bed, but the bedroom door having
been locked from the outside, and nobody within hearing,
he went to the window. Here, it would seem to appear,
from one or two panes being broken, that he had tried to
make his painful case known ; but, alas! nobody heard him,
and in the morning he was found a lifeless corpse, and the
floor covered with blood.—Aberdeen Herald.
The cause of the rupture of the intended marriage
of the King of Naples with his cousin the Princess Marie
of Orleans, has been traced to the Duke de Salerno (uncle
of the King of Naples, and brother of the Queen of the
French), " who," a private letter which is now before us
states, " has the greatest possible influence over the young
Sovereign, whom he has not suffered to go out of his sight
these four years." The reason why the Duke de Salerno
thus acted is not stated, but the fact itself is beyond doubt.
