THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0 CLOCK.

We have received Singapore papers to the 3d of March.
The Cochin China ship Ling Tong, the first of the season,
arrived there from Quinhine. We have not heard of what
her cargo consists. We are happy to state that a meeting to
establish a Chamber of Commerce at this settlement (Singa-
pore) was held, when the proposal met with general appro-
bation.

(From the Canton Press of 18th February.)

" It was known on the night before last that an edict from
the Emperor, in answer to the Viceroy's report on the Opium
question, had been received; and, being by the Chinese
thought favourable to the legal importation of the drug, a good
deal of speculation was caused in consequence."
(From the Price Current of 2d March.)

" EUROPE Gooos.—Beer, wine, and spirits—we have heard
no sales of recent importations.

" COTTON Goons.—Plain, printed, and coloured.—No im-
portations during the week transactions very limited.
" CAMBRIcs.—The stock, particularly of common and
middling qualities, is unusually large, and demand very dull.
The offers lately made will not cover cost and charges.
" TWisT.—Grey mule, part of the importation of Mr. John
Dugdale, will go into China without vessel. Stocks, how-
ever, are still large.
" WooLLENs.—There has been some inquiry for colcurcd
Spanish stripes by the Junk people, but we have not heard of
any sale.
"EAsTEaN ARTICLES.—Opium : Bermes, very dull ; a few
chests have been sold during the week, at 712 to 716 dollars
per chest, cash.
" Exchange Bills on London at six months' sight, drawn
under letters of credit, both on English and American ac-
count, offering at 41. 9d., and a few buyers."

THE FUNDS.

On Saturday discounts were obtained on more advanta-
geous terms in the city than in the previous part of the
week, and the Directors of the Bank of England have dur-
ing the week given great assistance to the holders of bills
drawn upon the large American houses which recently failed.
The Directors of the East India Company have, it is said, re-
newed bills drawn upon importers of East India and China
produce, by the Company's agents in Cation and India, for
advances made'on Congous ; the amount of Bills so drawn is
stated to be about 2,000 0001. sterling; but the merchants
requiring such accommohtion are to pay to the Company 20
per cent upon the amount of the bills renewed.
The parties who have arrived from America, representing
a numerous body of the merchants there, speak the strongest
assurance of a general feeling that the British ckims will be
liquidated, and that arrangements were making in the United
States to ship off, during the next month, not less than four
millions of dollars for Great Britain. _ _

Although we have numerous arrivals this morning, the; do
not communicate any news of importance.
Everything is going on in the City very steadily, without

Friday, about four o'clock, as William Hent
aged 28, was conducting a loaded waggon along the tunnel
which forms part of the railway, near Chalk Farm, and
where, from the unfmishett state of the works, horses are ne-
cessarily employed, the horse on which the poor man was in-
cautiously riding stumbled, and threw him on the line of the
road, when both the wheels passed over his riEllt leg, a nude
below the knee, crushing it in a most frightful manner. He
was instantly conveyed to•the North London Hospital, where
amputation was found to be necessary. The operation was
immediately performed by Mr. Liston, the surgeon to the hos-
pital, and with every prospect of a very favourable result.
C [RIC -RA TEs.--Tn UMPII.-- On Tlturslav
last, Ipswich, by its successful resistance to a rate to keep th-e
Church bi repair, achieved a glorious triumph. The contest
was one of almost unexampled severity. With respect also to
St. Clement's, in the same neighbourhood, the favourers of
Church abuses were also thrown aback. Principle was again
triumphant.

A gentleman named P , connected in a confi-
dential way with the extensive establishment of Messrs. G-

Lipd Co., near the Minories, has within the last few days dis-
Illaved in a very mysterious manner. It appears that Mr.
P- had been entrusted with a check by the principal of
the house alluded to, to get cashed ; and it is feared that the
unfortunate gentleman has got into the hands of some villains,
who have robbed and perhaps murdered him. Inquiries have
been instituted at the various station-houses in the metropolis,
but no tidings of him can be obtained. Mr. P was re-
markable for the most regular habits, and has ever been con-
sidered as a gentleman of the strictest integrity.
It is rumoured that Colquhoun of Killermont, and
William Leckie Ewing, arc going to form a joint-stock Joan-
nab Southcotc Company, seeing that some of their pious pro-
jects have failed.
Four men were killed last week, by an explosion of
fire damp in a coal-pit at Orrell, belonging to Mr. Woodcock,
of Wigan.

In consequence of the paucity of business expected,
the Judges o►► some of the circuits have curtailed the usual
number of days allowed at some of the assize towns.
