THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Extract of a letter from Vera Cruz, July 8 :—" We are in
this country completely blindfolded in regard to the affairs of
Texas. It appears to be the policy of the Government to
keep the people ignorant of every thing that is true in regard
to the Western campaign. The present Ministry disavow all
Santa Anna's acts as illegal, and will not ratify the armistice
or treaty with the Texians. The Government has ordered
Felisola to give up the command of the army, and have ordered
a Court-martial to try him.
" A revolution has broken out in the State of Oaxaca, and
the capital of that State is already besieged by a very large
force of the people. I think the present order of things will
soon change. The people in all parts are arousing from the
lethargy in which they have been plunged for these last two
years, and appear determined to achieve their sovereignty. Our
commerce is paralized entirely, and the Government are about
making us pay a fixed loan—aliens are resisting it."
The Montreal Papers state, that a report had been in circu-
lation that the Provincial Parliament would be called together
about the middle of September. Dispatches which were con-
sidered important at Government House, lately came to hand.
Our arrivals this morning are the French mails and ship
letters from St. Kitts, Barbadoes, and Jamaica; Sydney, April
6th ; Hobart Town, April 20 ; Calcutta, March 8.

varied to any extent.

THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for the Account, 911-a.

A fatal accident occurred on the line of the Whitby
and Pickering Railway. A poor man, named Porritt, in con-
ducting a waggon laden with light goods from Beck Hole to
the tunnel, had placed himself so as not to have any command
of the breaks. In consequence of this, when he came to the
tunnel, he could neither stop the waggon nor change his situa-
tion until he was so dreadfully crushed against the walls of the
tunnel that his death ensued in a very short time atter.—Hull
Observer.
The 106th Triennial Grand Musical Festival of the
three choirs of Worcester, Gloucester, and Hereford, will be
celebrated at Worcester on the 27th and three following days
of September.

Captain Raines, of the 77th Regiment, who was
tried by a Court-martial at MulUngar, on the prosecution of
his brother officer, Captain Clark, has been sentenced to dis-
missal ; but in consequence of his services and high testimo-
nials, is to be allowed by his Majesty to sell out of the army.
Mr. Marshall, a celebrated Thames angler, was one
morning angling for trout, when he was fishing with three flies
he hooked a trout on the leader, another took the first bob-fly,
and in playing them a third took the second bob-fly, and landed
all three at once. Perhaps, however, the most curious occur-
rence which this veteran in the art relates is the following,
and no one who is acquainted with him will doubt his accuracy.
He was one morning angling for trout, when he suddenly
heard a great splash in the water, and on looking round saw it
was a hare, which had jumped from the bank to swim across
the river. When she had got to the middle of the stream,
Mr. Marshall threw his trout fly over her, hooked her on the
fur of her back, and, in the language of the angle, landed her
" comfortably." Indeed, the accuracy with which this expert
angler can throw a line is quite extraordinary, He was one
day fishing near Carshalton, and in a row of high trees, across
the river, and which were fringed with fishing lines and flies,
he saw a poor bird hang by the beak. It had taken one of
the artificial flies, and it hung in a small cavity between the
branches. There was no way of getting at it except walking
through the river, and procuring a high ladder. Being very
anxious to set the bird free, he threw his fly across the river
into the cavity, hooked the line and freed the bird.—Jesse's
Angler's Rambles.

of the Royal Household, and nothing more was heard of them.
Already two days before two emissaries introduced them-
selves into the Palace, and attempted to pass the sentinel, who
detained them at one of the inner doors. These strange visits
had for their object, it appears, the discovery of M. Isturiz,
and other persons marked out for popular vengeance. Madrid
is now more quiet, but in all classes and parties great anxiety
prevails to know what France is going to do. Yesterday the
two Queens took an airing in their carriage on the Prado,
where they were well received."
The Phare de Bayonne of the 25th inst. has the follow-
ing :—" It is asserted that M. de Mendizabal is appointed by
the new Government of Spain to go to London on a mission
to raise money on any terms." Accounts on which we can
confidently rely, state that the Bishop of Leon has completely
failed in overcoming the influence of the Priest Echeverria,
who continues to be all powerful, and reduced the Bishop to
play a secondary part at the head-quarters of Don Carlos.
This arises from the ascendancy of provincialism over the
Madrilenos, and the state of absolute dependence in which the
Juntas keep the Pretender. They have never intended to
conduct him to Madrid. J. B. Erro, it is said, remained
neutral as long as the struggle continued between the Priest
and the Bishop, and it was not till he saw that the Priest was
on the point of gaining the day, that he declared himself
against the Bishop, and proclaimed that the non-arrival of
money from England was to be attributed to him and his
badly-conducted negotiations with the English bankers. It
appears, in fact, that the Carlists receive no more money from
abroad."

The Memorial Bordelais of the 25th inst. announces, that
the Spanish chasse-maree Joseph Maria Jesus, bound for Bil-
boa, has been captured by the Carlists in a small port near
Lequeitio. The cargo belonged to French merchants, and
the Memorial expresses a hope that the French Government
will interpose to obtain its restitution.
Extract of a letter from Bayonne of the 24th instant :
" Yesterday, M. de Calomarde, formerly favourite and minister
of Ferdinand VII., passed the frontier, and at the present
moment must have joined Don Carlos at his head-quarters of
Aspeytia. The presence of this personage will probably be
the signal of the downfall of M. Erro, the universal Minister,
and of the accession to power of the Bishop of Leon. The
coalition of that prelate with M. Calomarde cannot but be
very injurious to the interests of Don Carlos, and may drag
him into measures that will diminish the number of his parti-
sans, even in the insurgent provinces, where the names of the
Bishop and that minister are exceedingly unpopular, as well as
throughout the rest of Spain."
The grand councils of Zurich, Uri' Schweitz, Unterwald,
Zug, Soleure, Grisons, Vallais, and Berne, have expressed
their adhesion to the conclusunz of the Swiss diet.

=There are moderate arrivals of all kinds of Grain reported
this week, and not much Flour. The Wheat trade is dull, at
Monday's prices, in consequence of the continuance of fine
weather. Barley, Beans, and Pease are unaltered. Oats
sell slowly, at last quotations. There is little doing in Flour
this week.

American papers, by the London line of packet ship
Ontario, to the 12th August; Quebec to the 3d August; and
Montreal to the 7th August, have been received, from
which we extract the following :
Extract of a letter from Buffalo, sth August :—" Rathbun
has failed for upwards of 2,800,000 dollars, more than
1,800,000 of which is forged paper. His business came to a
close on Wednesday evening. Upwards of fifteen hundred
labourers are thrown out of employment.
" The Buffalo evening papers of the same date do not con-
firm this statement, nor have we heard of any Bank failure
from any other quarter. The writer has probably made the
assertion only on the authority of rumour."

" THE INDIAN WAR.-The war is not ended yet. A severe
engagement took place between the Georgians and the In-
dians in the neighbourhood of Mr. Quail's plantation. We
have not received the particulars of the fight.
" Another account from the journal of Friday—' This
morning the hands employed by Mr. Rathbun in his various
establishments, amounting to upwards of 1,200 men, held a
meeting for the purpose of adopting some measures to
secure the payment of the amount due to them. They were
addressed by the assignee, who informed them of the course in-
tended to be pursued towards them, and full assurance given them
that they would ultimately be paid. The hands were fully
satisfied, and the meeting was adjourned.'"
The New York Express of the 10th of August has the
following, as the latent from the South :
" The steam-boat William Gibbon arrived from Charleston
last night, bringing us southern newspapers in advance of the
mails. The New Orleans Bulletin of the 27th ult. contains
the following paragraph :—' A letter from a highly respectable
source, dated at Matamoras, the 29th ult. says it is an un-
doubted fact that this Government (the Mexican) have made,
or are making, a treaty with the Indians to join them; the
Cherokees are already engaged.' "
The New Orleans Bee, of the same date, says that letters
from the same quarter state that six American Indian chiefs
of the Cherokee tribe, with forty runners, are in close nego-
ciation with General Urea at Matamoras ; the latter have been
sent to Washington.
Extract of a letter, dated Tampico, July 2 :—" The Mexican
army, about 4,000 strong, now under the command of General
Jose Urea, is assembling at Matamoras ; and it is in such a
state of wretchedness that it will not be able to move before
two or three months."
