THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, 7'WELVE O'CLOCK.
By an overland mall from India, we have advises from Bombay to
the Gth of January, and from other parts to a late date. It appears
that the new Customs Act had been at length received by our Govern-
ment to be put into operation on the 15th of January, and that the
necessary arrangements bad been left entirely to the Governor. The
system of Marine Police suggested by the Collector of Customs, it Was
believed, would be carried into effect at the same time. It is to be
hoped that in revising the draft of the Customs' Act, its provisions have
been rendered less liable to censure than at its first publication.
At Canton another Imperial edict had been issued, in which the
departure of the gentlemen, with some changes in names, who were
ordered to leave China some time ago, is again insisted upon. The
Emperor in the same document reproaches the Viceroy for sharing i°
the profits of the Opium trade, and also the lower Mandarin; for eon"
niving at the escape of smugglers. A scene is said to have hapPened
between the Viceroy and Hoppo. The former, on the latter's pay-
ing him a visit, gravely reproached him wit's venality in sharing in
the profits of the Opium trade, when the Hoppo, who had but in"
made a seizure of an Opium-boat, retaliated by showing the Viceroy',
passport under which that boat sailed. The Viceroy's reproaches
im-
mediately, it is said, changed into supplications for secrtsy. The tic"'
raey of this story was not vouched for, but the thing Was believed to be
very possible.

Stoppage of the Opium trade at Canton.—The great scarcity of
money, and the slight prospect of improvement, together with the
heavy rate of interest which the advance was bearing, combined to
induce this sale, which though sufficient will not cover the expenses.
There was not much opium coming forward.

The Nightingale packet has arrived from Vera Cruz, bringing
a freight of four hundred thousand dollars ; sailed on the 2d January ;
