THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 14th May. A
Proclamation has been published at Gibraltar, establishing a
permanent Board of Commissioners, under the title of Board
of Health of Gibraltar ; and by the order of his Majesty in
Council it is further ordered that from and after the Ist day of
November, 1830, all vessels, as well as his Majesty's ships of
war, coming from, or having touched at any place that the
plague or other infectious disease visited, must perform qua.
rentine. That the Board of Health has ordered that vessels
coming from Tunis shall forthwith quit Gibraltar. The news
in the above papers from the South of Spain are not of so re-
cent a date as previously received via France. The strictest
precautions have been taken in Malaga to guard against the
introduction of the plague from the coast of Africa; and it
appears by a Proclamation of the Board of Health of that
city, dated the 29th ult., that the authorities all along the shore
of the Mediterranean have likewise taken the alarm, and
and adopted similar measures.
We have received Malta papers to the 6th May, by which
we have advices from Tripoli of the 15th ult., which give very
unfavourable accounts of the state of that town. All restraint
between the inhabitants seem to be relaxed, and the few
orders and regulations which were at first enforced to prevent
intercourse have been neglected, and the diseased and the
healthy are hourly to be seen in the street, communicating
with each other. The deaths within the walls on the 9th
reached 76; the daily average being upwards of 50. The
present population does not exceed 5,000 persons.
Recent letters from Tunis assure us that the difficulties
which had lately been raised in that Regency, with regard to
the residence there of British subjects, natives of Malta, have
been overcome.

Consols continued firm yesterday, until late in the afternoon,
they closed heavy at 91 13-, for the Account, same for Money.
The market giving way may be attributed to the unfavourable
accounts from Liverpool in respect to commercial failures, as
well as to persons realizing in the various Funds.
Consols opened this morning rather heavy at 911 LI for the
account, and the same for money, with little doing at present.

In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active still continues
heavy, owing to the unfavourable accounts received from Bar-
celona, and the uncertainty where Don Sebastian will fix his
head quarters. Spanish, which closed at 231 with the Cu-
pons, opened at 231 ; Passive, 5:1 6; Deferred, 8i 9,i; Por-

A grand fete is to be given at the Royal Gardens at
Brighton, in honour of the Princess Victoria's birth day. The
arrangements will be under the superintendence of a Commit-
tee, consisting of about 100 of the principal tradesmen of the
town. It is intended to regale the whole of the public school
children in the town, amounting to about 6,000, and the morn
is to be ushered in by a peal of grandsire triples on the bells of
St. Nicholas. A variety of rustic amusements and sports will
be provided for the occasion, and the day's pleasure will close
with a grand display of fire-works. A town meeting was held
on Wednesday, which recommended that all shops should be
closed at twelve o'clock, and that the rernait der of the day
should be set apart for general rejoicing.
Lady Burghersh-has arrived at St. Leonard's, from
town. The object of her Ladyship's visit to this agreeable
watering-place is the delicate state of her health. The lamei.t-
able and premature demise of her youthful daughter wal
source of great regret to her Ladyshi.
