THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Hague Paper, by the steamer, has the following :
(From the Frontiers of Poland, July 28.)
No fre,h news has been received in regard to the position of
the Russian army, but it is certain that the Russians have cut off
the communication of the road from Warsaw to Posen. The
Russian head quarters arc at Niesrawa. The Poles think that it
is the intention of the Russians to occupy previously all Vorvodie
and Kalesch.
Field-Marshal Count Paskewitsch has sent to the Emperor a
report from Isis head-quarters, of the 20th of July, informing his
Majesty of the passage of the Vistula by the different columns of
his army. Ile has also addressed a Proclamation to the Poles,
inviting them to lay down their arms.
Accounts from Paris state that Marshal Clauzel has received
orders to proceed to Strasburg.
A Lisbon snail has arrived, sailed the 24th July. We do not
hear any particular news from that quarter ; all was quiet there,
and the French fleet had not as yet left the Tagus.
The information from Rio Janeiro of the Sth of June, received
this morning, is of an unfavourable nature. A proposition was
made in the House of Deputies to suspend the payment of the
dividends for five years. This, we under,tood, was rejected. In
consequence of this proposition Brazil Bonds have fallen this
morning from four to five per cent.
As yet we have no further arrivals from the continent.
THE FUNDS.
We had an early attendance this morning in the city, both
of commercial and speculating gentlemen, all eager to peruse
the journals in regard to the late important events on the srim-
tinent, which are by no means of so warlike a description as the
previous accounts. The well-intnrmed and the private letters
from Paris, state that his Dutch Majesty will soon be obliged fn.
give up the contest ; as it is positively asserted in Paris that he,
will receive no assistance from the live Powers. His losing'
Batavia must be a severe blow.
Consols, which left off on Saturday at 80% sellers, opened at
80%, owing to the FrenCh Rentes coming higher, and went up
to 81 ; at present they are 803, sellers.
In the Foreign Market Brazii Bonds arc 44, 4 per cent. lower.

A letter is in town from Dunkirk, stating that the French
have laid an embargo on all Dutch ships there, and it is sup-
posed this will take place in the other French ports.
From Antwerp of the 6th, they write that two Dutch steamers
have taken a fort belonging to the Belgians, and that the Bel-
gians are going to sink a large ship in the Scheldt, near Antwerp,
to prevent the men-otlwar approaching.
We hear that the Britannia, 120 guns, arrived at Portsmouth
from the Mediterranean, has received orders by the telegraph
to take in four months' provisions. and to proceed to the Downs
to join Admiral Codrington's fleet ; also that twenty pilots have
set otrfor the fleet.
Consols are at present SON, buyers, tbr the account. It is still
thegeneral opinion that the affairs of Holland will be settled in a
few days.
Brazil Bonds are about 42 ; in other Foreign securities there is
little doing.

If there are any persons who, of all others,
have the least right to complain of calumny, i'her in
newspapers or elsewhere, it must be a certaui class of
Barristers, whose practice has been confined to tiie lower
Courts, and who not unfrequently make up in matchless
license of tongue for a deficiency in those acquirements
which would advance them to a higher rank in their pro-
fession. See those persons with heartless audacity stating
as facts what they know they cannot prove; see them
brow-beating and insulting witnesses often without regal.)
to age or sex ; and then let us ask with what consistency,
decency, or propriety, they can indulge in false tirades
against the Press—against that Press, let it be remem-
bered, whose greatest fault it has been to fan into notice
its own base calumniators?-2Vorning Herald.
