An address was presented to his Excellency, who made
the following observa:ions in reply :--
" With r, fert-nce to the immediate cause of your pre-
sent Address, I would observe that from an early period
after my arrival in the province, I found myself, my mea-
sures, ar.d my advisers, assailed, through the prints in
question, by calumnies so bitter and so malignant, so per-
sonally abusive, as to excite my utmost indignation and
ascon;shment, never before having in any country been
made the object of anything of the kind during the wh•dle
course of a long public life. That these attacks have
proceel:•d from a small and disappointed party I have not
entertained a doubt."

THE FUNDS.
This day being the HArevvs' Passover holyday, few are
in attendance, having been at their devotions in synagogue
until one o'clock, consequently very little business in the
Funds is expected to take place.
The Consol Market has rather a heavy appearance this
m.;rning, which may be attributed to the unfavourable in-
telligence respecting the Maine question. Consols at

11 the Americans. At aq events nothing positive can be
stated on the subject before the next arrival.
