THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O' CL CK.
By the arrival of the American Papers to the 9th July
we have received later accounts from Jamaica and Tampico.
From Kingston (Jamaica) to the 17th June, files of
Carthagena Papers have been received, stating that the
country was bankrupt, and that John Bull bad at last
found out that he only shipped goods to Colombia to enrich
her General, but it has been discontinued, and the Colum-
biana are in a towering passion ; Mr. Watts, our Consul,
is grossly abused for his endeavours to protect the English
interest and British commerce. A report was current at
Kingston that all the British subjects at Santa Fe had
been murdered. Two clerks in the employ of Duncan,
Haldane, and Co. were mentioned.
The advises from Tampico of the 12th of June state
that the colector at Tampico had notified to the Mexican
Consul at New Orleans that the law of the Ist of May,
which laid a duty of one per cent. o❑ foreign goods,wares,
and merchandize going into the interior, went into effect
on the 13th of June. One per cent. more will be paid in
cash after the 10th of December next.
Montreal Papers to the 3d of July, and Quebec Papers
to the Ist of July, have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house.

(From the Quebec Papers.)
" EMIGRANTS, WAGES IN UPPER CANADA,

DISTRESS, &c.

" In the recent discussions which have taken place on
the conditions of emigrants, and many of whom, it mast
be confessed, are in a state of great wretchedness, the rate
of wages has been variously estimated for both provinces.
In this province it is more difficult to fix a standard
than in Upper Canada, but we are ena')led on good autho-
rity to state, that in Newcastle district the following were-
the general prices paid during the past month :—Carpen-
ters and masons 7s. 6d. per diem, without board ; la-
bourers by the day, 2s. 6d. to Ss. and found in board, by
the month 40s. to 605., and board; women servants living
in the family, earn from 15s. to 20s. per month. It is
also stated, that tailors and shoemakers find ready em-
ployment."
The private letters from Hamburg this morning state,
that the cholera morbus has now appeared within eighty
miles of Berlin, likewise in the vicinity of Vienna ; at
Hamburg preparations are making to prevent it reaching
' that city.
The general topic of conversation in the city this morn-
ing relates to the magnificent display yesterday at the
opening of the New London Bridge, which has highly
gratified those persons who were present.
We have no political news yet of any consequence ; the
public are much disappointed in the meagre accounts from
the theatre of war by the arrival of the Hamburg steamer.
Consols, which left off yesterday, at twelve o'clock, at
82i j for the account, opened at the same price this morn-
ing, with little doing ; they have reached 82k, buyers,
but are at present 824
The Foreign Market is scarce worth mentioning—no-
thing doing.

Consols, since the early part of the morning, have re-
ceded per cent., from 82:,} to 82 s *for the account, and
at present they are 82a I for the account. The above de-
cline was owing to a report of warlike letters from Ham-
burg. It was also rumoured that the Emperor of Rus-
sia was dead, but we are informed there is no foundation
for this report.
The Foreign Market is entirely void of interest, there
being nothing doing.

REFORM.---The spirit of the North is be-
ginning once more to arouse itself on the subject of Reform.
The frivolous and vexatious opposition to the Bill's pro-
gress through the Commons, has affected all classes with
disgust, and the deep indignation of an insulted people
cannot be much longer suppressed or concealed. We have
already received letters from various quarters on the sub-
ject, and public meetings will shortly be resorted to, as
the only constitutional means of expressing the nation's
opinion en the babyish trifling of the Legislature. Delays
are often dangerous, and in the instance of the Reform
Bill, if dalliance proceeds much farther, it is painful to
contemplate the consequences ! The voice of a united
people must again come forth—it is strong and powerful
and has happily been compared to the voice of God!
PAGANINI AND lIIS SINGLE STRING.—
To effect so much on a single string as Signor PAGANINI
does, is truly wonderful ; nevertheless any good player can
extract much more from two than he produces from one,
and two are always to be bad. But, say the panegyrists,
the silver string gives such delicious tones! Then employ
two silver strings, we reply. Would any man out of
Bedlam hop from Hyde-Park Corner to St. Paul's on one
leg, if he had a couple to walk on ?—Certainly not—
unless, indeed, he could get a thousand pounds, or so, by
each journey ! If PAGANINI really produces so much
effect on a single string, a fortiori he would draw forth
mach more from two. Why not therefore employ them
because be is waxing exceedingly wealthy by playing on
one only. Then lie is a sensible person for so doing ; lie
understands mankind : so did the famous quack, Dr. ROCK,
whose sagacious reply to Dr. CIIEYNE is well known : so
does Mr. ST. JOHN LONG.--Harmonicas for Aug. 1.
