THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend, and
the Dutch mails ; also a Lisbon mail by the Lord Melville—
sailed on the sth June ; a mail from Rio Janeiro, by the
Ranger—sailed or, the 17th April ; two mails from Vera
Cruz, by the Tyriun and Mutine—the former sailed on the
18th, and the latter on the 24th April. We have also a great
number of ship letters from the East and West Indies.
The Singapore Free Press to the 15th January gives the
subjoined report on the markets :
EUROPEAN Goons.—We have heard of no sales of English
bers (metals) during the week. Tin plates little in demand.
COTTON GOODS.—Plain and printed, there has been a good
demand since our last for Belgian Maddapollams, chiefly for
tfie Penang markets. These goods are imported from Batavia,
and can be afforded at lower prices than the British. Other
Alescriptions of cotton goods in little request.
StAm.—By the Doderley, from Siam of the 26th ult., we
have the following from Bangkok :—" A report from Cochin
China has just reached us, mentioning that the insurrection
and disturbances which prevailed there for the last three or
four years are now quelled. The country is quiet, and in a
good state of defence. A rumour is now current here that
the King of Siam is about to give his favourite daughter in
marriage to Chan- Fab, and elevate him to the rank of second
King."
We have Buenos Ayres papers to the 27th March. They
contain the following :—" We have no political news of mo.
ment to communicate this week. The reply of the Govern-
ment of Buenos Ayres to the note of the Oriental Govern-
•inent upon the subject of the decree issued by the former on
the 4th inst., has not yet been published. Some of the Monte-
video journals continue to use strong language as regards the
said decree."

The Brazilian province of Rio Grande is still the victim of
civil discord. His Excellency the Governor, under date of
the-21st inst., addressed a note to the House of Representa-
tives, in answer to the address of the House, upon the Govern-
ment Message. The note stated that the improved situation
-61. the country since the period when the present Adminis-
tration came into office, was due to the special protection of
Divine Providence, and the efficacious co-operation of the
Honourable House, and of worthy citizens ; and that with
these powerful aids the Government would continue to make
every exertion for the welfare and prosperity of the country,
and protect it from the perfidy of the Unitarian faction, whose
only aim seemed to be to consummate the ruin of the Republic.
'The highest rate of Exchange upon England during the
week, 6,1,- pence ; the lowest 6 13-16 pence. Doubloons,
highest, 126 dollars ; lowest, 121 dollars.
PRICE CURRENT OF Rio JANEIRO.—The exchange on Eng-
land, since our last of 29th and 30th ult., has continued to
decline ; however, very few have been the transactions at
381 ;W., at the latter rate small sums have been effected ; and
to-day something has been done at 381 ; but to a trifling
amount.

Although we have numerous arrivals this morning, both of
foreign mails and ship-letters, they do not communicate any
Intelligence of much importance— with the exception of those
from Lisbon, announcing the dissolution of the Cortes.
The accounts from Madrid are not of a later date than pre-
viously re,!eived—the 4th instant; and they do not appear to be
of a favourable tendency. The armies in the north of Spain
remained inactive, and the Queen's troops in Lower Arragon
has experienced a defeat; and General Evans is obliged to
act on the defensive.

A recently manufactured Bailie, who aids in dispen-
sing what he, no doubt considers justice, in a not distant burgh
—the name of which we suppress—was the other day, after
dinner, talking over the fatigues of office, the responsibility
and importance of a magistrate under the new state of things,
and the difficulties he daily had to encounter in the discharge
of his public duty. His audience. showed no disposition to
gainsay whatever he advanced, and after declaiming at great
length, he concluded the catalogue of his distresses by de-
laring, that " the warst is whan sittin' in judgment and
hearing ae side o' a quastion, I perfectly un'nerstant't, an'
am ready to pronounce my interlocator like a Shirra—but
lush ! whenever I hear the tither side, ma head fairly rins
round about, I'm clean bumbased, an' wish I were ante mair
at ma ain business. Eh, Sirs, but it's an unco job to be a
Bailie in these troublesome times, when Tories and Radicals
are like to devour honest folk."—Ayr Observer.
A respectable farmer, residing near Stonehenge, has
just sold twenty-three years' clip of wool! He shears annually
about 1,000 sheep; and we understand that it was so well pre-
served that very little of it was damaged.—Salisbury Journal.
FETE IN PETWORTII PARK.—On Saturday the
munificent Earl of Egremont gave his annual entertainment
to the poor of the neighbouring- parishes, in the park opposite
to his noble mansion. There were three rows of tables, in the
form of a horse-shoe, capable of dining about 3,500 persons,
and long before one o'clock, the hour appointed for dinner,
every seat was occupied by women and children ; the men
being excluded, in consequence of some irregularities and dis-
graceful proceedings which took place in the preceding year.
The venerable and Noble Earl, with the Earl and Countess of
Munster, Colonel G. and Mrs. Wyndham, and Colonel H.
Wyndham, were in the park early in the morning, and re-
mained during the day, mixing occasionally with the company.
1,900 stones of beef, together with 1,700 plum puddings,
were cooked in his Lordship's kitchens for the repast. Shortly
before one o'clock dinner was announced by the firing of can-
non; and the stewards, comprising the tradesmen of the town,
a portion of his Lordship's establishment, and trades-people
from various parts of the country, then commenced operations
upon the meat, which was served to the poor by waiters ap-
pointed for the purpose. The two sons of Lord Munster were
very active in passing the plates to the poor, and appeared to
take great delight in assisting the waiters. A great portion of
the meat remaining after dinner, was given to the men.
