THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French mails, ship letters
from Rio Janeiro, Newfoundland, and Quebec; and from
Bombay of the 11th May.
Bombay papers received to the 12th May state :
" We were much gratified to learn by the Calcutta papers,
that it was the intention of the Supreme Government to abo-
lish the town duties within the territory of Bengal, and we
now find that intention carried into effect."
BENGAL CIIAAIBER OF COMMERCE, APRIL 23, 1836. _ _ _

" The undersigned agree to convert the balance of their
books, at the close of the mercantile year, on the 30th inst.,
into Company's rupees, in which coin they will in future keep
all their accounts, and conduct all their pecuniary dealings."
(Here follow the signatures.)
" The order is out for the extinction of the town duties in
Bengal on the Ist of June next, and establishinc, a new tariff."
" The recent arrivals from:China have caused much dissatis-
faction amongst the Opium speculators, and we think they
have a right to call for an explanation as to the state of the
Benares during this year. Whilst the Patna Opium of the
present season weighed 126 catties, the Benares weighed 115
catties—leaving a difference of 11 catties in favour of Patna,
besides 2 per cent., which the Chinese call the touch.
".We received yesterday a Singapore paper (Free Press):of
the 31st ult. We perceive that his Majesty's sloop of war,
IVo/f, and the schooner Zephyr, had encountered a fleet of
pirates near Pedra Branka. The result of the engagement
is not given, as the junk left while the boats of the men-of-
war were under cover of the fire of the guns, pulling towards
the pirates, who were exerting themselves to escape."
The Spanish paper Espagnol, of the 28th of August, an-
nounces what we stated yesterday, of the Constitution of 1820
being proclaimed in Portugal; but the Madrid papers of the
29th of August have nothing on the above event, consequently
it cannot be correct ; and no doubt the telegraph from Bay-
onne would have communicated the important event, had it
occurred.

Consols opened this morning at the quotations they closed
at yesterday, 91 for the Account, and soz- for Money, with
little doing. Exchequer Bills 34 ; India Bonds 4to 2 dis-
count ; India Stock 254 2591; Bank Stock 209 210 for Ac-
count.

In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active still heavy, 304 ;
Passive, 9+ ; Deferred, 134 s ; Columbian, 26+ ; Mexican,
27 28; Dutch Two-arid-a- Half per Cents., 55+ -. Portu-
guese stock, which closed heavy yesterday, remains in the same
state this morning, at 661 ; 3 per Cents., 42+.
BALE-PAST ONE.
Letters from Paris seem to confirm the rumour which has
been circulated of a National Loan being contemplated by
Mendizabal, by which nearly 4,000,0001. sterling are expected
to be produced. '1 he bases of this project are said to be of a
nature calculated to secure its success in the most eminent
degree.

The business in both the markets has been during the whole
of the morning very slack, and there is not a feature worthy of
observation. Consols may be quoted at 91 to 91i for the
Account, and 903, for Money. Exchequer Bills, 24;
India Bonds, 3 5, discount ; Bank Stock shut; India
Stock, 2584.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active, 29 30k; Passive,
94 i; Deferred, 134 ; Portuguese, 683 ; Three per Cents.,
42a; Columbian, 261 ; Mexican, 27 28; Dutch, 554 I.
Consols for the Account, 913.

THREE O'CLOCK.

It is rumoured that the Spanish Charge d'Affaires
here, rather than adopt the alternative of swearing to the Con-
stitution of 1812, has intimated an intention of sending in his
resignation, which we are given to understand will be for-
warded by express to-morrow to Madrid.
Preparations are making at Manchester for stamp.
ing newspapers under the authority of Government.
Ramsgate has never been so full any former season
as it is the present, owing to the cheap conveyance of passen-
gers, but the company of course is not so select as formerly.
There are a great number of visitors at Margate, and more
select than at other seasons.

ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, as Mr. James
Lamb, a man of independent property, living in James-street,
Manchester-square, was crossing Oxford-street, he was knocked
down by a Pinner coach, the wheels of which passed over his
legs. He was immediately picked up conveyed home, where,
on examination by a surgeon, it was discovered that he was
very much injured, and he now lays in a very precarious state.
Dr. Dalton, who has for years turned his attention
to the amount of carbonic acid in the atmosphere, says that he
has satisfied himself that its average quantity is one part in
1,000. He is also of ()pillion that the quantity of this gas in
the atmosphere is constantly the same in town and country,
and that even in a crowded theatre it seldom rises to one per
cent.

vy
WYCOMBE.—On Monday two hundred of the 7th
Fusileers, and on the following° morning 260 more, arrived
here, on their road from Windsor to Manchester. We feel it
cur duty to say that such a set of drunken, swearing, and dis-
orderly men never entered the town before. Many were
lodged in the Compter and the gaol for their riotous and dis-
graceful conduct ; and the High Constable, while in the exer-
cise of his duty, was assaulted and severely bruised. —Bucks
Gazette.
