THE FUNDS.

We have a great number of arrivals this morning ; a
Lisbon mail sailed on the 3d July; Buenos Ayres sailed
20th April ; one from Rio sailed 15th May ; and Leeward
Island Mail left St. Thomas's the 12th June.

The above arrivals caused a late delivery of the letters
and papers, consequently as yet we have not had time to
obtain all the information they bring.
Consols, which left off on Saturday at 83i opened this
morning at the same price, with little doing.
In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing.

The following is an extract of a letter posted at the
North and Saud, American Coffee-house, from Buenos
Ayres, dated April 20 :

I wrote you on the sth inst., since which nothing of
great moment has occurred in the political affairs of this
country, the civil war in the interior provinces continues
much in the same state. The federal army under Lopez
occupy a great portion of the province of Cordova, and
trouble their opponents by continual skirmishes t f cavalry,
in which they are successful. Lavalle and his officers
have escaped to the Banda Oriental. The province of Buenos
Ayres remains in perfect peace and free from war.
Exchange on London 6i the dollar.
Private letters from Berlin state that the King of Prussia
has counter-ordered the cavalry out of the Landwehr.
Accounts have been received this morning of a very
rich Portuguese ship coming from Bahia to Lisbon, which
was met off the Tagus by a French brig of war ; an action
ensued almost under the batteries, which fired on the brig,
but two other French ship coming to the brig's assistance
silenced the batteries, and the Portuguese ship was cap-
tured ; the Captain and crew got ashore.

. _
Consols have continued during the whole of the morn-
ing at 83k, alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing.
The private letters from Paris are of a favourable de-
scription. The National Guards are firm to the Govern-
ment, and no fear was entertained of any further serious
disturb ince.

Consols have this moment taken a start, and are done
at 93H for the Account, owing to there being great Bears
in the house anxious to get into stock.
The Dutch steamer has arrived, but the letters will not
be delivered till two o'clock.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing at present.
Quebec Papers have just been received to the 19th
June. The number of settlers reported are 28,134.

Consols, 83k.

THE REFORM BILL.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—Observing that my name does not appear in the list of
the majority who voted against adjournment, published in your
Paper of this evening, I beg to inform you that I was present.
and voted with the majority, on each of the eight divisions which
took place on the night of the 12th instant.
I considered it to be an important point of duty to resist so
factious and ill-judged an attempt to impede the progress of the
great measure now before Parliament.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
P. M. STEWART, M.P. for Lancaster.

TIIE BANQUET ON THE BRIDGE.-S 0
little has been said on the subject of the entertainment to
be given to their MAJESTIES, on the opening of the New
London Bridge, that the public are not aware that a feast
is preparing for the Ist of August, for a company of be-
tween fifteen and sixteen hundred guests, besides the Royal
party. Such, however, we are authorised to say, is the
fact, and the following particulars may be relied on :—On
the city side of the new structure, a grand pavilion will be
erected for the reception of their MAJEsms, to which tile
flooring prepared for Guildhall will be removed. To the
txtent of 400 feet the bridge will be covered in with awn-
ings, to protect the festive multitude from the weather.
On the paths, tables, with benches on either side, will be
placed. The wall of the bridge will be lined with in,t-
tings and cloth ; the road will be left free. The pavilion
and awnings will be surmounted by the national ensign,'
of England, and bands of music will, from time to tithe,
contribute to enliven the scene. The collation will be
served up, with the richest wines, on the most sumptuous
scale. Mr. LEECH, of the London Coffee-house, pro-
vides the entertainment, which has been contracted for by
the Committee of Management in a spirit of the greatest
possible liberality. An air-bAlloon is to ascend from the
centre of the bridge In the afternoon of that day. Arrange-
ments have been made with Mr. GREEN, the celebrated
aeronaut, for carrying their intentions, on this subject, into
effect.

An uncommon circumstance, and which was
nearly attended with fatal results, took place on Sunday
morning last, at Yafford, Isle of Wight. As Mr. PAIS.'
a resident of that place, was returning from a walk, he wag
followed for some time by a swarm of bees, headed by their
Queen, who at length, in spite of his opposition, settled
on his head, and was speedily followed by the countles9
colony. In his endeavours to rid himself of his trouble
some companions, he nearly fell a victim to their enve.
twined enmity, for finding themselves resisted in their e"•
deavours to gain a settlement, they retaliated on the unfor-
tunate man to such a degree that he became blind in 11
i.
few minutes, and in the greatest agony ran throng'
hedges, fields of potatoes, &c., to try to brush them 0"'
Two neighbours at length came to his aid, and he Was
carried home in a complete state of exhaustion. Forty
stings were extracted from his forehead, and his head 50°
swollen in a most frightful manner. His life was des'
paired of for several hours, but we are happy
in 1401
his recovery is now considered certain. At the sameldil";
about two years ago, two dogs belonging to Mr. GRIOO
were killed outright by a swarm of bees taking a fang
rest on them.—Portsmouth Herald.
