THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWEL VE O'CLOCK.
We extract the following from the Jamaica Papers of the
30th of September :
" By a proclamation of the lion. Roger Isaacs, President of
the Government of Tortola, of the 4th of August, Tortola has
been thrown open to the vessels of all nations, for the importa-
tion of flour, rice, corn, and corn meal of every description.
" We are sorry to learn that the island of St. Bartholomew
experienced a severe hurricane on the 2d of last month, which
lasted two hours, and destroyed 250 buildings of the best de-
scription, besides the loss of a great many lives.
" The weather wag rainy and tempestuous. It rained at times
in torrents, and the wind blew a hurricane. We rejoice, at
the same time, to say, that little damage has been done in the
harbour. Serious apprehensions are entertained for vessels on
the coast. _ _

" Business continues suspended in the city, and the stores
are closed, as also the public offices, with the exception of the
post-office. Far these last two days the streets of Kingston
have been inundated."

Demerara Papers to the 7th of September have been re-
ceived. They do not contain anything worth notice ; they
are filled with English news.
The following are the exchanges from Jamaica :—Com-
missariat Bills, none ; Colonial Bank, ditto ; Jamaica Bulk,
221 per cent., 60 days ; Merchants' Bills, sales have been
made at 21 per cent. ; small sales have been taken at 224- per
cent. ; but the weather prevents getting more decided in-
formation with regard to this description of Bills.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

We have no further arrivals, and the only feature worth ob-
servation, either in the British or Foreign markets, is the
decline of Portuguese Stock of nearly one per cent, from
33:1- to 32N—at present may be quoted at 321 33. The cause
of this fall is not as yet • ascertained ; but attributed to a
report that Mr. Oliveira who has arrived here, is not commis-
sioned by the Portuguese Government to arrange the Portu-
guese dividends.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY, Nov. the Cotton
trade, though things are not generally lower than they were
last week, they cannot possibly be duller. It is probable that
the advance on Cotton has tended in a great measure to
enable the manufacturers to keep up the rates of this day
se'nnight ; thus, though prices are not lower, the advance
on the .raw material further reduces the profit, if any there
be. We think that in any branch of the trade these ob-
servations will strictly apply. Twist is.firmer, owing to the
advance in Cotton=---that is for low numbers. Fine Yarns
cannot be duller, and there are some reports afloat of one
or two mills going to stop altogether for the present.

Let the 7 imes dip its pen in apia fortis; the
Morning Post forget its manners and . •
" Fall a cursing like a very drab,"
the Standard flap its raven wings, and John Bull awake the
nations with horrid speech I ' Daniel O'Connell dined last
Tuesday with Lord Nlorpetb ! Nor is this the worst. The
day selected for 'this offence vgainst public morality was a
Popish fast, being the Eve of All Saints; and we have the
very best authority for stating that the nnble (?) Chief Se-
cretary to the Lord Lieutenant had abundance of fish and
other like Lecten entertainment provided to feed the pre-
judiCes and the stomach of the great champion of the
Church of Rome. If this be not a practiCal conformity to
the errors of Popery we know not what is. 0, who will
not send in his splendid shilling to Mr. Andrew. Spottis-
woode after this?---Morning Chronicle.

EDINBURGH, Nov. 2.—(From' a Correspondent.)
—We have got the harvest finished in excellent order, and
the potatoes also up in good condition ; the crop of them
is reported every where most abundant, and I am told to-
: day that they are to be had in the county of Fife at 20s.
per ton—ls. per cwt. only. My own opinion is, that all
kinds of corn must come greatly down.
