THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are tho French, Hamburg, and Malta
Mails : the latter by the Hermes—sailed from Malta, Feb. 18;
Alexandria, Jan. 31 ; Gibraltar, Feb. 21; and Cadiz, Feb. 22.
We have likewise ship letters from Demerara.
We give the following extract of a private letter from St. Pe-
tersburg received this morning :—" I profit by the departure of a
friend to write you, as I dare not commttnieate my politics and in-
formation on pain, if found out, of being sent to the desarts of
Siberia, to the Mines of the Mountains of Oural. We are living
here in great suspense until we receive the King of England's
Speech at the opening of Parliament, when we shall be able to
judge in what manner the Russian affairs will be arranged. This
incertitude causes all commercial transactions of any consequence to
be suspended, and should this last for any length of time, in the
spring great injury will take place in our commerce. The produce
of Russia comes from all the provinces of the Empire to St. Peters-
burg and Riga, and the warehouses will be soon encumbered with
goods, without any purchasers. Money begins already to be scarce.
The Russian Treasury is empty, as well as that of the Grand
Signior. Owing to this we are in hopes that peace will not be dis-
turbed. It is true that armaments are taking place at Cronstadt,
and that all the sailors are put into requisition ; but believe me it is
more of a demonstration than a serious threat."

The debates last night in Parliament occupy the attention of
the public this morning. The second reading of the Gravesend
Railway Bill being lost, has thrown a damp this morning on the
speculations in all other shares.

Consols opened this mornin„,,, at the prices they left off yester-
day-911 92 for the Account ; for Money, 914 ; Exchequer 1.1';.,i5,
