THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Although the meeting of the trades has been put off, we hear
that a great number of people are repairing to the White Con-
duit-house. In the city the Bank have closed their gates, and
military, with a small piece of artillery, are inclosed in the flank.
We also understand that precautions are taking at Somerset-
house ; these precautions are well, but we do not apprehend
there is any danger for alarm.

Letters are in town this morning from Sunderland, and do not
state any thing about the cholera; some of them state that there
are no new oases; therefore we may conclude that it was not
the cholera, and the alarm has now subsided.
Montreal Pagers to the 12th August, and Quebec to the 9th,
have been received at the North and South American Coffee-
house.

(From the Montreal Papers.)
The affair of Madawaska seems to be still enveloped in mys-
tery, and some of the Colonial Journals appear to treat the
affair slightly, regarding it only as a squabble between some in-
dividuals.

The accounts from all parts of the province agree in stating
that the season has been remarkably favourable for the pursuits
of agriculture.
COMMERCIAL.—ReIative to the trade of this port during
the quarter ending the 10th inst.—
The amount of specific duties are £4,187 16 9
Which during thesame quarter last year amounted to 1,115 15 10

Surplus in favour of 1831 £3,072
The amount of goods entered at Montreal paying
2% per. cent, duty during the quarter £148,976
During the same quarter last year 120,742

Surplus in favour of 1831 £93,04 7 9
EMIGRATION.—On Saturday the Alcope arrived with about
300 passengers, chiefly Highlanders, part of them landed here,
and the remainder prooeeded to Niagara
. .

This season upwards of 13,000 sealers have landed at New-
foundland district and at York, besides those that may have
settled in the district lower down ; we may therefore safely
conclude, that the amount will be thirty thousand before the
season closes.

(From the Ouebec Papers.)
The Halifax mail, which brought a singular report respecting
the occupation of Madawaska settlement by a party of troops
sent from the Main, is contradicted by the courier from New
Brunswick, and turns out to be a fabrication.
The letters received at Paris from Algiers of the 18th October,
arc very unfavourable, the inhabitants are alarmed and dissatis-
fied. A conspiracy has been discovered at Oran, many persons
have been arrested, and eight pf them shot.
Although the meeting at the Wh to Conduit-fields has been
put off; some fears are still entertained in the City that a munber
of persons of all descriptions will repair to the above spot, more
for curiosity than any thing else; at all events every precaution
has been taken by Government, as well as by the Lord Mayor,
to prevent any riots or disturbance in the course of the day.
The Bank Directors have also been on the alert, and a n ilitary
force has been .tationed there and the Bank is closed from the
public.
The French Funds coming considerably higher by the esta-
fette, 80c., has caused an improvement In the English. Con-
sols, which left off on Saturday at El2k, 34 for the account,
opened at S2N ; at present they are 823 i X.
HALF-PAST ONE.
We have received the Journal des Debars of Saturday. We
extract ,as follows:
, WARSAW, Ocr. t3.--The Director of
Count Lubienski, has returned to the capital,
the whole of the funds of the Bank which

the Polish Bank,
bringing with him
the Revolutionary

Government had carried away.
The whole of the above Paper is filled with the discussion on
the Law of Recruitment. On Article 30, an amendment pro-
posed by M. de Ludre and Laborde, the object was to tix a time
of eight years for the military service, of which they were to be
emplcryed four years in the active army. This gave rive to an
important debate.
We have a report by the Dutch steamer that the King of
Holland continues obstinate, and will net accept the treaty, but
we must observe that the final decision of the Congress of Bel-
gium, and the Secret Council, did not take place until Thursday'
and the above steamer sailed on Friday at two o'clock, therefore
the d4ctif3ion coilld 'net be known to the King of Holland. We
must wait another arrival from Holland, by which we shall learn
the intentions of the King on the above report.
Consols have lowered from 82%3q to 82% for the Account.
In the Foreign Market Spanish has got up.
All is very tranquil in the city.'
