THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are two French, one Ostend, and
one Dutch mails. We have also a mail from the Leeward
Islands by the Linnet; sailed from St. Thomas on the 22d of
February.

The Jamaica Watchman to the 14th February, and Deme-
rara papers to the 23d Jan., with the New Orleans Ptice Cur-
rent to the 14th February, have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house.

The Jamaica papers state that the Bahama Assembly was ill
session, and that everything was going on smoothly and
agreeably.
The Lieutenant-Governor had called the attention of tb°
Assembly to the necessity of offering a premium in favour el
the first contract for a steam vessel, and he seems to have no
doubt that the navigation between these islands by steam ves-
sels may be accomplished through private enterprise.
The New Orleans Price Current has the following com-
mercial remarks :—" We are again under the neces-
sity of repeating that the market continues without animation.
Indeed, we have seldom in the course of our inquiries found
so little diversity of opinion as to the state of the business.
keeping the season in view, as during the present week. This
dullness may be accounted for in consequence of the river's
above being blocked with ice, or the navigation otherwise ob-
structed, which prevents the arrival of a great number of boats.
Another reason is the high price, almost without exception, of
all the leading articles in the market, which greatly checks the
disposition to purchase. The Mississippi is 4 feet below high
water mark. The weather this week has been clear, and 0
pleasant as could be desired.
The Cotton Market, since our last, has been unusually ani-
mated, and very extensive sales have taken place. We esti-
mate their total amount at full 25,000 bales.

It is remarkable how much particular circumstances
will alter and affect the prospects of commercial mat"
tors in a brief space of time. The port of Llanelly,
in South Wales (although affording excellent accom-
modation and anchorage), has hitherto been a place
comparative unimportance ; but within the last week
the East India Company have advertised for freight °f
4,400 tuns of coals to be shipped from the LlanellY
Railway Company's Wet Dock ; and the Company
having commenced laying down their Railway, under
the Art obtained last Session, through a district
abounding with coal, iron ore, &c., a new outlet will
.
be given to commerce in this quarter. The greatest,
activity, we find, is prevailing, and large quantities of
produce shipped from this place for home consumption,
the Indies, and the Colonies.

TRIAL OF THE GLASGOW INCENDIARY.---'
Wednesday last at the High Court of Justiciary, John Arthur'
the druggist, was put to the bar, charged with wilful fir.:
raising, he having, on the 29th of October, 1825, set fire to 10
said shop, by applying a lighted match or some combustible,
to a quantity of turpentine and gunpowder. That being te;
nant of the shop, and having effected an insurance in tb
month of September preceding, against loss by accidental or
to the extent of 1,2001., which sum was beyond the value of
the property insused, he feloniously laid a quantity of 11,
gunpowder, of 251bs. weight, and formed a. train through t.
shop, and raised heaps in different places, and placed in CO ;.,
munication with, or near to the gunpowder, a quantity of
rits of tar, camphor, and balsam of capaiba, or other highly rng
flammable substances ; and that all this was done with t.T.:
design of setting fire to his goods, for the purpose of defraud
gig the insurance Company. The prisoner pleaded not gelitir:
The evidence produced in support of the charge was con
of
sive in the minds of the Jury, who, after a deliberationii;',
about 12 minutes, returned into Court with a verdict of gu
of an attempt to commit wilful fire raising. After an in 2131;
eto
sive address from the Court, the prisoner was sentenced
_t
transportation for life. The trial did not close until half-Pr,
three o'clock in the morning. The Court was crowded to Tih
cess during the whole day, the side galleries being filled vi of
ladies. The prisoner is a young man about 23 years of ag,e_'ess
respectable appearance. He manifested the utmost coolll_,
during the trial, and heard his sentence without manifesting
any peculiar emotion.
