Helena, and Bahia ; Calcutta, December 13, and Bombay,

Trinidad papers have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house, to the 29th February : these papers
state that they are under the disagreeable necessity of an-
nouncing that the small pox, which was supposed to have been
confined to the spot of its first appearance, and there to have
been exhausted, has again made its appearance. The diseac
is of the most violent kind.

" Colonial Office, Jan. 12.
" Sir,—l have the honour to transmit to ypu herewith the
copy of a letter which has been addressed to my Under Se-
cretary of State, by direction of the Lords Commissioners of

" To Sir F. Hill, Bart., Trinitlid."

We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's
date, which states—" From all (Natters we are informed of
commercial distress. From Trieste it is stated that several
Greek commercial houses, as well as Jews, have faileJ ; and
to these disasters we must add an extensive fire. A great
warehouse, filled with cotton, coffee, and corn, has fallen a
prey to the flames—the loss is estimated at 500,000 florins."

A meeting was held yesterday of the Proprietors of South
Sea Stock. A letter was read from the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, in reply to a deputation of the Directors, who had
an interview with him a few days since, stating that measures
were in progress for compensating the Company for the aboli-
tion of the South Sea duties. This is an answer to remarks
made, that the Government was inattentive to the duties de-
volved upon them.

AlthoUgh money was rather in demand yesterday, it did not
produce any material alteration in the fiLids, but the unfunded
debt was very materially affected, owing to some consi-
derable purchases of the new American notes, which obtained
951, and for Morris's Banking and Canal Company, at 11 to 2
discount.

business doing is paying and receiving the differences of their

the Account will pass off favourably. •

Most of the new American paper is sent up from Liver-
pool for sale, and a great quantity of it is expected by the next
packets. The prevailing opinion is that the bringing into the
market of so large a quantity will soon cause a scarcity of
money, and that the moment the information reaches New
York of their scheme having succeeded, they will provide us
with fresh supplies.

It appears, according to the accounts from the North of
Spain, that the army at Pampeluna has made a movement to
prevent the Carlists from passing the Ebro, and that Espartero
had also detached a division of his army towards Vittoria. In
a few days we may therefore expect important news from that
quarter.
HALF-PAST ONE. '
The only feature worth attention in the Funds-this morning
is a considerable decline in Exchequer. Bills, which have re-
ceded from 38 to l 0 shillings ; at present the exact cause for
this fall is not ascertained. Some surVie that Ministers are
going to fund Exchequer Bills next week; others attribute it
to the pressure of the American paper on the market.
