THE FUNDS.

We have two arrivals this morning of some impor-
tance, particularly that from India by the overland ex-
press, bringing the favourable result of the campaign in
Affghanistan, in consequence of which the army from
Cabul was on its return to Hindostan.
The arrival from New York brings an account of an
important meeting of merchants there to avert the
threatening storm which hangs over them at present,
in consequence of which they have voted several reso-
lutions.

CITY, HALF-PAS 7 ONE.
We have seen a vrivAte letter from New York, re-
ceived this morning by the. Garrick, which states that
the banks of that city rather than suspend specie pay-
merits until legalized by the Legislature of that State,
who do not meet until December, are bent on sacrificing
every commercial establishment in that city ; but this
ti:easure in the end must eventually end in their own
rein.. Money was worth 41 to 5 per cent. per month,
Which 110 community on earth could withstand.
In Iniladelphia things were easier, and money, worth
only ii. to I i persent. per month. Business was ge-
nerally at a stall.
We have. received Demerara Papers to the 26th of
September :- ""

• The private information from the United States this
I morning, is far from being of a consoling nature.
' in the early part of the morning, Consols receded
from 90i 1 to 901 1 for the Account ; for Money, also
1 from 90i to 90t, since which they have resumed 90-g- their
former prices, and may be quoted at present, ;
Account, Money, 90 ; Exchequer Bills par, 2 dis-
count ; India Bonds, 6 3 dis. ; Bank Stock, 1781 ;
India, 2501.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active receded to
26.1, since which it may be quoted at 27-1 i ; Portu-
guese reached 33, at present they are 321 ; Three per
~,,Cents 221 ; Colombian 301 ; Brazilian 73 ; Dutch
iWo.and-a-Half per Cents. 514 ; Spanish Passive 7.
The aboVe Market is heavy, and most of the Foreign
Ponds have receded since the early part of the
morning.

MATcH.—A quoit match took place on Thurs-
daY, on a field at Green Mill, near Darvel, betwixt
twenty players of the Ayrshire and twenty players of
the Lanarkshire Clubs, for one hundred pounds a
side. Both parties appeared to be in excellent spirits,
and anxious for the set-to. The game excited great in-
terest, and numerous spectators from Glasgow, Greenock,
Kilmarnock, and many towns in Ayrshire, were on the
spot. Lord Kelburne, M.P., who
