THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Sydney Papers, to the 22d August, have been received
at the North and South American Coffee-house. For a
length of time Port Macquarrie will doubtless be the chief
nucleus of emigration ; and, in all probability, be more
rapidly settled and brought into cultivation than even the
fertile banks of the Hunter and William. Would that the
poor deluded half-famished families at Swan River were
here, to people these opening provinces—and would that
the scores of thousands of pounds wasted in yonder heap
of sands had been employed in planting and sowing this
country. These Papers are very barren of news.
From the Dublin Paper received this morning;—
' Loan Aurnonr.—We have the best authority for
stating, that Lord Althorp has sent a circular to the Mem-
bers of the Opposition, as well as to the supporters of the
Government, stating that matters of the greatest impor-
tance were to be brought forward by the Government im-
mediately on the meeting of Parliament. We believe the
reference-in the circular relates to Ireland."
Letters from Toulouse to the 19A1 instant state that
seven large boats, laden with CO pieces of cannon, 12,000
balls, and an immense quantity of powder, have left that
town for Ilcurdeaux and Bayonne, and the number of
workmen in the arsenal have been doubled to manufacture
gunpowder. The Commander of the division has received
orders to guard the Pyrenees. These preparations cause
some alarm that a war is on the point of taking place.
THE FUNDS.
Our only arrivals this morning are from Sydney, and
an old French mail; the one due is not yet arrived—con-
sequently we have no latter intelligence to communicate.
Consols still continue heavy, at the price they left off
yesterday, SOi -a for the account. The repurted arma-
ments in our navy still remain a mystery, and nothing
positive is known on the subject.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing at present.
The accounts from Madrid state that three Powers at
present are tutoring that Government. Russia wishes she
should take an energetic attitude, Austria, that she should
not separate from the line of the statu quo of legitimacy,
but England, mo►e generous, wishes her to conform with
the present times, but the Spanish Ministry are acting
politically, and give hopes to the first of these three
Powers. She says that to prepare for war they want mo-
ney to be second. They thank her for her councils, and
to England they promise to think and deliberate on her
desires. The installation of the Minister of the Interior
has not yet taken place. The affairs of the Bonds of the
Cortez is still on the lapis. It is not the fear of the situa-
tion of Europe which will bring the Spanish Government
to this determination, but the consequences of the events
in France.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Every inquiry is still making in the city in regard to the
fitting out of the two largest ships in our navy, as well as
their destination. About a year since we were in the
same situation, large ships were got regdy, when at length it
was ascertained they were destined to proceed to the Me-
diterraneanto replace others which were ordered home.

In regard to political information there is none up to
the present hour, and the French mail still remains due.
In the funds little is doing. Consols have been done in
the course of the morning at 80i, since which they have
continued at SOI for the account, and the same for
money. This is settling day in the foreign market, and
the accounts are going off well. Spanish stock is rather
better. In Russian stock there is a decline, it being very
scarce; in the market little doing. The brokers are busy
in settling their accounts.
