THE FUNDS.

The notice posted at the Bank yesterday has not had any
effect on the Money Market. This day Commercial Bills be-
came due to some extent ; to the present hour we do not hear
of any mischief, and it is generally supposed that most of them
are provided for.

which price they are at present ; for the 16th July Reduced
884 ; New Three-and-a-Half shut. Exchequerßills 7 9

Bonds 1 3 prem.
The Foreign Market also continues in a dull state with
nothing doing to the present time, and the prices are nominal,
as they left off. Spanish Active, 23i 4 ; Deferred, 11i

QUARTER TO TEPEE.

The payment of the heavy acceptances falling due to-day,
this being the 4th of the month, when most commercial bills
arz made payable, there is some demand for money ; but to-
morrow• things will, no doubt, be easier. The Bank notice
facilitates the settlement of claims on bills of exchange.
The Tea trade is duller to-day, owing to the favourable
character of the official dispatches from China. Company's
Congott about 2s. lid. to 2s. 2d. per lb.
There is nothing very flattering in the mercantile a'lvices
from our East India possessions. This is indeed not at all to
he wondered at, seeing how materially some of the leading
Pre..idences are dependent upon the China trade for the due
control of the exchanges with the mother country. At B
nn-
bay there aprears to be more animation in business than
at Calcutta or Madras. As to Canton, of course all
barter and exchange hal been suspended, but it seems
that Captain Eliot intends opening the navigation
of the river to the vessels of all nations, now he has once more
pl toted the Union Jack upon thr British factory in the pi o-
vincial capital of the Celegtials.

Markets firm, with every appearance of a rise.

630 n Tuesday last a man in the employ of a pub-
lican at Ath was taking his horses to drink in a quarry; but,
in consequence of the extreme heat, they went farther into the
water than usual, arid fell into a hole twelve feet deep, and
were drowned. It was must distressing to witne:4 the strugr
files and to hear the cries of the poor animals, at the same
time that no succour could be afforded them. The carman
was rescued, after a short time, from his perilous situation.
The hay harvest has commenced in this neigh-
bourhood. ; and it is satisfactory to be enabled to report that
the crop is generally exceedingly luxuriant, and should the
weather prove fine for housing, theep will be a good reason for
congratulation
_in reipciit to food fur stock. The grain Crops
also have at present a very promising appearance.— Ca/id/ridge
