BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 7.—The fall of the
Funds in London and Paris caused some sales of inte-

grates, in consequence of which the prices receded ;
the other national funds did not sustain the prices o
yesterday. Little business was done in Ardoin's Spa.
;Ash, which remained at 21 1-16 to 4.

We have received Valparaiso papers to the 14th
June, but they do not contain any news of im-
portance.

Exchange on London, 45 pence per dollar ; on Paris,
4 francs 90 cents.

Accounts from Bcmbav state the failure of Moolna
Imadjee Adamjee, an extensive dealer in metals, &c.,
at that place, to the extent of about 600,000 reals.
Most of the principal brokers are creditors in amounts
varying from 20,000 reals to 14,000 reals.

It appears, according to the accounts received this
morning from Manchester, very erroneous statements
have been made in respect to the amount of the failure
of Mr. Forth, which has been greatly exaggerated. It
is stated, on good authority, that his failure will not
exceed 60,0001.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.

chiles.

THE FUNDS.

The accounts received this morning from the French
capital are of a more favourable description than was
anticipated ; it appears that order has again been re-
stored for the present, in consequence of which the
British Funds opened this morning at 88-1 for the Ac-
count, which price they did not maintain long, and re-
ceded to 87i 88 ; Money 87A -a ; Exchequer Bills 10
12 prem. ; India Stock 247 ‘-..>.49.

(From the Singapore Papers.)
The Cowasjee Family, Lady Hayes, and Omega,
we understand, had been attacked in one of the ports
on the East coast by a fleet of about twenty-five war-
junks, and so effectually, that they had been compelled
to shift their quarters, and betake themselves to some
less dangerous neighbourhood, they were followed by th
junks, but lost s;glit of in a fog. In this affair the junks
arc reported to hare approached within musket shot of
the smugglers, discharging their broadsides in tolerable
style. The Cowasjee, it appears, had the boats on her
quarter knocked to pieces, her rigging cut in several
places, and her sails full of shot holes. She firing in
return forty rounds of large shot, besides grape and
canister, but the extent to which the Chinese suffered
was only guessed at, and did not appear to be serious.

Consols have been fluctuating about per Emit.
during the morning, from 873 to 88-Z- 881. Some pur-
chases have been made in consequence of a report that
Mehemet Ali had consented to the French being media-
tors. This requires confirmation. At present the spe-
culators appear timid of doing business to any great
extent, until they have further intelligence from the
East, as well as the prices from Paris.
Consols at present are not quite so good, and may be

A CAT WITHOUT A TAIL.—A case of some
import.was beard yesterday at Worship-street Police-
office. i‘ e
on was the presiding Magistrate. )!r.
Chambers, the barrister, was engaged for the complainant,
nicr.
Brought
and Mr. Charles Phillips for the defendant. It was an
adjourned case, originating in a charge against an ex-po-
liceman for an act of felony, which, according to the 7th
and Bth of George IV., subjects the offender to twelve
months' imprisonment, and also to be publicly or privately
whipped, at the discretion of two Magistrates. According
to the report sent to us the case excited great interest.
The complainant, Mr. Field, a chemist, in Brompton (or
rather Mrs. Field), had lost a cat without a tail,
which had the title of " My Lord ;" advertisements were
inserted in the newspapers, offering a reward for his re-
covery; an:inspector and constable were employed for days
in tracing out his Lordship ; and the two learned counsel
already mentioned were retained to argue the case. The
ex.policeman appeared, but without the cat ; and though
a charwoman, who bad been engaged to reconnoitre the
premises, sAoro that she saw " My Lord"
sitting on de-
fendant's counter, the Magistrate, after an eloquent speech
from Mr. Phillips, and an " elaborate summing up,' de-
cided that the case was not proved, and the defendant was
discharged.
