THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O' C L CK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Dutch
mails ; a mail from Lisbon, by the Lyra, 4th December ;
and ship letters from Quebec and Philadelphia.
From New Brunswick Papers, to the 13th November,
received this day, we extract the following I—
" BANK OF FREDERICK TOWN.—It is only a short time
since we published the prospectus of this institution, which
will be in active operation by Tuesday next. Much credit
is due to the projectors for the successful adoption of every
means calculated to prevent the commercial embarrassments
hitherto attendant upon the formation of banks in this pro-
vince, by the formation of a Joint Stock Company. The
only possible objection to the granting of the charter has been
completely removed."
A French Paper, received this morning by express,
states that the Charte does not publish any news from Bil-
boa; but it is given as certain, that on the 7th, in the
evening, at Bordeaux, a telegraphic despatch had been re-
ceived of the entrance of Espartero on the 6th, in the
morning, into Bilboa, without any fighting, the Carlist troops
having retreated.

Ducrow's stud has arrived at his new amphitheatre

Miss Ellen Tree arrived at New York on the 24th

The Rouen Journal states that all the plains in
that country which border the river are covered with water
to the depth of 3 feet, and present the aspect of vast lakes.
The damage caused by the late violent storms to
the town of Calais is estimated at 200,000 francs. During

that port from England, with 241 passengers, and twelve
took their departure with 214.
BOA CONSTRICTOR.—Ths lovers of natural his-
tory have now an opportunity of seeing in Cape Town one
of the largest reptiles in the world, in the form of a boa
constrictor, from Ceylon, on its way to England. Not hav-
ing swallowed any food for the last four months, the mon-
ster is just becoming lively, and acknowledges the civilities
of his servant by issuing a hissing sound, as of the safety-
valve of a steam-engine. A pretty white rabbit resides
with him in the same cage, jumps over his huge body in in-
nocent gaiety, and when we saw him on Monday, was
amusing himself with a leaf of lettuce, perfectly unconscious
of the horrors of his situation, or of the true character of
his diabolical companion.--Cape Paper.
