THE FUNDS.-(THISMAY)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Charleston Papers have been this day received to the 4th of
June. In Exchange very little doing in either foreign or do-
mestic—Freights dull :-
4‘ NEW ORLEANS, MAT 27.—We discover no change' in
business whatever. Everything remains in the same dull state,
as has been the case for some time past. Very little is doing in
general business, except fur immediate want. Even the retail
trade is extremely limited. The present depressed state of
affairs effects every class of the community. We know of no
exception unless it be notaries ; even lawyers are not much
bencfittcd, for there are not more suits commenced than usual.
There has been received during the week about 270,000 dollars
in specie from Alexico, Havannah, and Louisville. A much
larger amount was expected, and, no doubt, would have been
received from Mexico were it not for the unsettled state of
affairs in that country. Checks on the North not to be had at
any of our Banks at any premium ; on Charleston half per
cent. premium."
On Saturday the pressure for money was very great in the
Stock Exchange, as well as in the commercial community,
large amounts being wanted to make payments into the Trea-
surv. Some heavy sums were wanted to pay prompts for
purchase of goods on speculation ; but in a few days the pay-
ments
.of the quarterly dividends will take place, which no
doubt will give great relief to the Money market, as well as to
commercial affairs.

Consols closed on Saturday at 92/ for the Account, opened
this morning at the same price ; Exchequer Bills 32 34 prem.:;
India Bonds 32 34 ; Bank Stock 208 - 209}.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active closed at 22, with-
out the Coupons, opened at 22i- 23, with Coupons; Portu-
guese closed at 434 41, opened at that price. Scarcely a
bargain doing in either of the Markets.

HALEPAST ONE.

The only arrival this morning of consequence are the Lis-
bon letters. It appears that another change in the Constitu-
tion is on the eve of taking place. We must therefore expect
soon to hear from that quarter.
Extract of a private letter, dated Lisbon, June 26 :—" M.
Thomas de Mello has been replaced in his post in the Queen's
household by M. Manuel de Portugal, brother of the Marquis
of Valencia, who has just arrived from India, where he was
formerly Governor. Some doubts are entertained as to the
eligibility of this gentleman, but at all events he cannot be
worse than his predecessor. The partisans of the Charter
continue to work on quietly but surely. I have no
doubt whatever that the Charter will, ere long, be re-
established, and I trust this will be effected with little
danger to the public tranquillity. The fact is, the Constitu-
tionalists have altogether fallen into disfavour with the really
sensible part of the community, and a change from the mock
Government under which the country has suffered so much
for the last few months, is ardently desired. Oporto, I have
reason to believe, will be the first scene of action in the at-
tempt which is about to take place for the restoration of a
system of Government which is liberal without leading to
anarchy."
The Consol market has been bouyant during the morning.
Consols, which were in the early part at 92.1-*, has since im-
proved to 92k k for the Account. Exchequer Bills 34 prem. ;
India Bonds 34 prem. ; Bank Stock 209.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active is not so good as in
the early part of the day, when it reached 24, at present
222- I; Portuguese improved to 44+ ; Three per Cents., 271
ex-dividend ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 52i ; Co-
lombian, 24k.
The Share Market much the same as on Saturday. It is
supposed that the New York Packet of the Bth tilt. is off Li-
verpool, as many ships were in sight when the account left.

HALF-PAST TWO.
NN,e hear that a Russian frigate has arrived off Gravesend
with a great quantity of gold on board. She has been ex.
reeted for several days past.
