THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T 11' ELVE O' L 0 CK.
We, have received Sydney papers to the Dec. 28, from which
we extract the following :
" The most lamentable accounts of the early wheat crops
have arrived from the district of Barthurst ; Barley and Rye
are generally better. The late Wheat is unpromising; and if
rain does not soon come, there is nothing but the prospect of
a total failure. The frost on the Bth was as severe as in-mid-
winter. It is reported that all the crops on the Lachlan are
cut off by the frost, and at Wellington by the drought. Wool
buyers are offering 2s. per lb. ; Wheat 16s. per bushel."
The accounts received this morning from Liverpool, state
that up to Friday last, there was a better feeling in Liverpool
than there had been for some weeks, arising principally from
the promising state of the Cotton market, the sales having
amounted to little less than 40,000 bales in one week. Ou
the afternoon of that day the news had arrived that the Bank
had refused any further assistance to the great Amelican
houses ; and in the course of Saturday it was also known that
further assistance had been refused to George ‘Vyldes ai:d Co ,
and that all the three houses suspended payment. This pro-
duced a feeling of profound gloom, and of most painful
anxiety. It was understood that the bills of the suspended
houses were principal), held in the manufacturing di-tricts,
from which accounts are expected daily. That many persons
must be crushed by this convulsion in all parts of the kingdom
is quite certain.
It is generally believed that the amount of paper belonging
to these houses held in Liverpool is less than might have •
been expezted.
According to the accounts of Monday from Liverpool, that
day passed over with only one failure, a house which for many
years has acted as the consignee of sonic of the packet-ships
which sail from that port to New York. It was also under
stood there, that one of the first rate houses in that town had
been effectually relieved, and that the concern will weather
the storm.

In the course of yesterday evening great agitation prevailed
in the city, owing to a report that two expresses had arrived
from Liverpool, announcing that several extensive failures had
taken place in that city. The report proved void of founda-
tion, as we have the Liverpool paper of the 7th int. ('nos-
day) before us, which is entirely silent on the subject ; conse-
quently we conclude that Liverpool will not experience Ili*
disaster reported by the alarmists.

All continues in the city perfectly tranquil, and the appre-

counts from Nlanches4ter and Liverpool this day have vanished.
We have i.c,en a private letter from Liverpool, received this
morning, stating that commercial affairs there look better than
for several days past, and they do not• apprehend that any
failures of importance will occur.

The members of the Prince of Wales' Lodge of
Freemasons intend giving a grand festival on the 16th inst.,
to celebrate the jubilee of the Lodge, established in the year
1787, under the auspices of his late Majesty King George
the Fourth, when Prince of Wales. I•lvitat:ons have been
given to many of the distinguished members of the Order now
in London.

A tall man stood up in the middle of the pit at
Covent-garden theatre, to the great annoyance of all who were
behind him. There was a general cry of " Sit down—sit
down ! Turn him out—turn hint out !" hut it was all in vain.
lie retained his positioh : there was a moment's silence. .‘ Leave
him alone, poor fellow," said an Irishman, " he is a tailor rest-
ing himself." The tall man then sat down.
Like all other hrpliehes of our national manufacture,
the batting business is at present suffTing very seriously.
Ord:rs for abroad are vc ry scarce, and not altogether safe to
trust to ; so that foreign business is nearly at a stand. Orders
for the home market are likewise very slack, and generally for
lots of small rmount ; the hands are cowequently only par-
tially employed, and there are not any prospects of a speedy
change for the better. —Mane' estcr Chronicle.
'File decision of the general court-martial held lately
on a private of the 37th regiment, for ropoated desertion and
re-enlistment into o:ltrr regiments, has been promulgated, by
which he is sentencNl to seven years' transportation, as a
feloit, to Nov South Wales ; and he has been removed from
this garrison, for the the con"ict hulk, at Portsmouth.—De-
renport Telegraph.

An Irishman having accidental.; broken a pane of
'lass in a isindow of a hcuse in Queen-street, was making the
best of his way to get Out of sight, as wcll as out of mind;
hut, unfortunately for Pat, the proprietor stole a march on him,
and, haviog seized him by the collar, exclaimed, " You broke
my window, fellow, did you not ?" "To be sure, I did," said
Pat, " and didn't you see me running home fur money to pay
for it?"—Edinburgh Paper.
Miss Rice, daughter of the Chancellor of the Ex-

Our readers, we know, will share our satisfaction
on learning that the intelligence from Liver!)Ool, which was
looked forward to with apprehension, is favourable. Great
praise is due to the commercial houses of that important town
for the exertions by which they have beets enabled so suc-
cessfully to meet the difficulties of the crisis. We trust that
they will not less exert themselves to rescue tha country from
a monetary system which leads inevitaLly to ovcrtrading, and
those ruinous vicissitudes against which no prudence can ef-
fectually guard. It is high time that men should hold their
property by a more secure tenure than the discretion of the
Directors of the Bank of England, whose private interests
are so much at variance with those of the country.---Morning
Paper.
