THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Sydney papers have been received to the 27th of April.
We subjoin the following :

4‘ We understand it is more than probable the Govern-
ment will despatch the Jaynes Watt steamer immediately
to Port Phillip. By the Government schooner Isabella,
we have no news of any consequence beyond the certainty
of the death of Messrs. Gillebrand and Hope. Some
jealousy exists between the Sydney gentlemen and the Van-
detnians, owing to the former party making arrangements
to buy all the good land out of the hands of the latter
market. The supply this morning was very limited, and
prices much the same. Bread per 4 lb. loaf, is. ; Beef
and Mutton, 41d. per lb. ; Veal and Pork, 9d. per lb. ;
Pigs (roasters), 6s. to 6s. 6d. each. Best Wheat, 9s. ; in-
ferior, 7s. ; average, Bs. ; Van Diemen's Wheat, 7s. 6d.
to 9s. 6d. ; Flour (fine), per 100 lbs., 255. ; second
ditto, 235."

We have received Launceston Papers to the 14th of
April. The Bank or Van Dietnen's Land, and the Com-
mercial Bank, intend extending their capital to 100,0001.,
or 80,000/. at least ; they invite the public so to extend
them.

Cape of Goad Hope Papers to the 11th of June state,
that the Lieutenant-Governor's treaty with the Caffre
Chiefs was published in the Gazette, provisionally ratified.
in Council.

The Buenos Ayres paper of the 12th of June contains
the following :
_

" The Government of Buenos Ayres under date of the
14th instant, addressed a note to that of Chili, inclosing a
copy of the declaration of war, and manifesto on the part of
the Argentine Confederation against General Santa Cruz.
The note speaks in indignant terms of this anarchical expe-
dition which it says Santa Cruz prepared in the ports of
Peru ; and moreover that he has for six years committed
outrages against the Argentine Confederation, leaving it no
other alternative but war."
The accounts from Rio Grande are contradictory. Ac-
cording to some there has been a cessation of arms between
the Imperialists and Republicans, while others say that
the Brazilian chieftains had defeated the Republicans.
The highest price of Doubloons during the week, 133
dollars, lowest 129. The highest rate of Exchange upon
England 6d., lowest 6d.

According to accounts received this morning from Liver-
pool, we find that trade is improving there, as well as in
various other manufacturing districts ; and raw material is
greatly advancing in price.
