THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O' CL 0 CK.
The arrivals received at the North and South American
Coffee-house, this morning, are more numerous than for a length
of time past ; from Charleston to the 28th July, Buenos Ayres
to the 3d Juy, Calcutta to the 26th March, Jamaica to the 21st
July Sydney to the 19th April, New South Wales to the 18th
April, and Quebec to the 29th July.
(From the Buenos Ayres Papers.)
Rumours of peace have been pretty general during the week,
—pray Heaven that they may be realized, and the Argentine
Republic freed from the curse of civil war. It was reported
a few days since that the Dictator of Paraguay, Dr. Francia
was dead.
General Paz. the Ex-Protector, by accounts remained at Santa
Fe, but not to strict confinement.
(From the Calcutta Papers to the 26th of March.)
Letters from Meerut mention that the Camp of the Governor-
General was at Musore Hills on the 11th inst. His Lordship
had been enjoying shooting. On the first day he shot a young
tyger and an antelope, and on the second day was unfortunate.
A spent ball from his Lordship's rifle wounded a peasant in the
cheek.
(From the Jamaica Papers.)
We observe by the minutes of the House of Assembly of Bar-
badoes, the following Acts have been sanctioned by his Majesty's
Council :—An Act to extend the benefit enjoyed by white per-
sons under certain clauses of the consolidated Slave Act, of this
island, to all free coloured and free black persons.
It was rumoured in town yesterday that St. Domingo was in a
very unsettled state when the Champion left Port-au-Prince.
The old jealousy, which had so long existed, had revived be-
tween the blacks and browns. It was stated that the Commo-
dore intended to dispatch a vessel of war to protect the lives and
property of our countrymen.
We learn that every thing was quiet when the packet left
Carthagena.
We understand from unquestionable authority, that although
his Majesty's Ministers have not altogether approved of some of
the clauses in the Slave Bill of the last Session, yet that his Ma-
jesty's assent would no longer be withheld.
(From the Sydney Papers to the 19th April.)
The present market price of wheat at Sydney is as. 6d. a bushel ;
at Hobart Town it is only 3s. 9d.
(From the New South Wales Papers.)
Owing to the continued scarcity of German wool at 25., as
well as the total absence of Spanish wool, the prices obtained at
the public sa es this week for about 12,000 bags have greatly ex-
ceeded the expectations of the most sanguine.
THE FUNDS.
We have numerous arrivals from all quarters of the globe this
morning, but they have not produced any information of pe-
culiar importance.
The express from Paris is also uninteresting, as well as the
theatre of war in Poland. This causes a general belief that ne-
gotiations are on the tapis to prevent the further ension
of blood.
Consols, which left off on Saturday at 8218 to for the ac-
count, opened at 82%; at present they are 82% sellers, with
little doing.
The Foreign Market is void of interest as yet.

The following mails have arrived this morning :—From Malta,
sailed sth of August ; Rio Janeiro' sailed 22d of June ; Jamaica,
21st of July ; Carthagena, 10th of July.
We understand that one of the clauses of the Bill which refers
to the Law of the Peerage in France is to the following efrect—
that if the law should not work well it may be abrogated again
next session, and by private letters from Paris it is expected the
law will be thrown out in the Chamber of Deputies, by a ma.
nceuvre of the Ministers, who wish to defeat their own proposi-
tion, which they have only brought forward to conciliate the Re-
publican party.
A private letter is in town stating that the brave Poles have
experienced a partial cheek, and that the Russians were pressing
hard on them on three different points. We hope the above
letter may be incorrect.
We have letters from the Brazils four days later than the mail
this morning. We understand that the Regency has been ap-
pointed for life ; all was in perfect tranquillity there. Ex-
change 24.
The letters from Pernambuco are of a favourable description.
The Hamburg steamer has not as yet arrived ; it is not ex-
pected till late in the afternoon.
Since the early part of the morning, when Consols were 8214
for the account, they have become heavy, and have been done at
81% to 82, at present they are 82 with little doing.
The activity in the war department of France, and a part of
the French army remaining in Belgium, has had some effect on
the market.
In the foreign market Brazil stock, which improved in the
early part of the day, has receded to 4(1)4.
In other foreign securities little or nothing doing.

Despatches were received this morning at the
Colonia!-office, dated Gibraltar, August 17 ; Carthagenr.,
July 10 ; Jamaica, July 21 ; and from Crooked Maud,
July 27.

At the Foreign-office despatches arrived this
morning, from Rio Janeiro, June 22 ; from Bahia, July
2 ; and Pernambuco, July 9. A bag has also arrived
from Sydney by the Andromeda.

From the unusual quantity of letters arriving
by the packet from the West Indies, and by ships from
various Rats, at the Gtn-ral Post-office this morning, the
letter-carriers were not despatched until much beyond the
ordinary time, and the delivery in all parts of the town was
nr:,portionably later.

It is said that the eatables alone for the ban-
quet in Westminster-hall, at the last Coronation, were
charged 25,0001. Such a union of gormand:zing and ex-
tortion may well be dispensed with.
The Dean and Chapter of WESTMINSTER
will derive an enormous increase of revenue by the sale of
seats for the Coronation, for which they have established
a scale of three, four, and five guineas each. The booth
which has been opened for the purpose on the north side of
the nave, with its inscription on a rough deal board, would
be unworthy of Bartholomew Fair.
Mr. STRAIIAN, the King's printer, who died
on 'Thursday, aged SS, has left, we understand, property
to the amount of more than a million among his friends
and relatives. To the son of a banker, in St. Clement
Danes, who married one of his daughters, he has left an
estate worth about 80,0001, sad to his wife 20,0001. in
money. To his partners and their relatives (seven in
number) he has bequeathed 15,0010 r/:

Partridgc•shooting commences on Thursday
next. The birds are represented to us as being very nu-
merous, but exceedingly strong on the wing. The fields
are also nearly or quite cleared. We warn our sporting
friends to be cautious in the use of their guns. A want
of due care has often been the cause of daikeni❑g our
ck,lumns with painful rcuitals.—Vriyhton gcrald.
