FUNDING OF EXCHEQUERBI LLS

The following official notice made its appearance ra-
ther unexpectedly this morning :
" Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, 21st Sept. 1841.
"It having been considered advisable by the First
Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer to fund a portion of the outstanding Ex-
chequer-bills charged on aids and supplies, dated
in March and June last (or in any antecedent
month, provided the same have not been advertised
to be paid off), not exceeding five millions in Three
per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, subscriptions for the
same will be received at the Bank of England from nine
o'clock in the morning to one o'clock, p.m., on Friday
the 24th, Saturday the 25th, and Monday the 27th inst.
" The terms upon which it is proposed that the Exche-
quer bills should be funded, are that one hundred and
twelve pounds and two shillings Three per Cent. Conso-
lidated Annuities shall be given for every one hundred
pounds principal of Exchequer bills ; and that the said
Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities so to be created,
shall commence from the sth of July, 1841.
" It is proposed that the parties intending to subscribe
to this funding, shall deliver sealed letters at the Bank
of England, specifying the sums for which they intend
to subscribe, accompanied by sealed parcels, containing,
in Exchequer-bills, a deposit of 201. per cent. on such sub-
scriptions ; and that at one o'clock, or as soon after as
possible, on Monday, the 27th instant, the Bank shall
declare the total amount proposed to be subscribed for,
allotting to each party, in case the whole of the subscrip-
tions should not exceed the amount of five millions, the
whole sum which he may have offered to subscribe ; and
in case the whole amount offered to be subscribed shall
exceed five millions, then such proportion only of the
sum tendered by him, as the sum of five millions may
bear to the whole sum offered to be subscribed. retain-
ing in such case the deposit of 201. per cent. only upon
such amount.
" The further instalments will be payable as follows,

viz. :
" 20/. per cent. on or before the Bth of November.
" 20/. per cent. on or before the 20th of December.

" Subscribers will be allowed to pay Exchequer-bills
in advance, and to receive the interest upon the amount
of Exchequer-bills for the first instalment, from the date
of the bills up to the 27th of September ; and upon the
amount of the bills for each subsequent instalment, from
the date of the bills up to the day when the instalment
would have become due.
" Subscribers will be allowed the option of paying
money in lieu of Excquequer-bills, to the extent of one
half on the amount of the Exchequer-bills subscribed
for, upon paying 12s. for every 100/. so paid in money.
"Subscribers paying money will be allowed interest,

LITERAT URE.
CHARLES CHESTERFIELD . 3 Vols.
Colburn, London, 1841. _

As we noticed thi tale from time to time,
when it appeared in successive portions in-the
pages of the New Monthly Magazine, we need
say no more on the present occasion than that it
is now re-published in three volumes, and will,
no doubt, be as popular as any of its author's
other fictions, with the sole exception, perhaps,
of the " Widow Barnaby," which is decidedly
Mrs. Trollope's master-piece.

THE DRAMATIC WORKS OF WYCHERLEY,
CONGREVE, frc. Part I.
Moron, Limdon, 1841. •
The plays of these eminent dramatists have
already been published by Mr. Moxon in single
volumes, and are here re-published in monthly
parts, the first of which is now lying before us.
The work is got up with singular neatness, and
even elegance, and at a cost which will bring it
within the means of all classes of readers.

ANOTHER BLESSING OF THE SLIDING
SCALE.—Large as have been the importations of wheat during
the last month, they have scarcely benefited the British ship-
owner at all. As there never was any reason to expect that
the ports would remain open more than a week or two, there
has been no time to send out shipping from this country to
fetch the grain purchased The great point has been to get
it here as soon as possible, and the effect has been that all
the shipments have been made in vessels previously in the
ports whence it was shipped. Under the present system the
British shipowner loses almost all share in this trade, of which
it happens this year that he stands greatly in need, for freights
to all quarters of the world are exceedingly low.—Liverpool
Times.
We regret to say that an Englishman has been
condemned by the tribunal of this town to twelve months im..
prisonment for one of those crimes that should never be heard
of among Christians. We understand that his offences had been
for some time known to the police, and that he had been warned
to change his life, but in vain ; the old sinner would not listen
to wholesome advice, and he is now suffering the penalty and
disgrace attached to his vices.—Boulogne Gazette.
All our docks are now so crowded with ships,
that the flag, announcing that no more can be admitted, has
been flying for some days. This is, is a great measure, to be
attributed to the numbers of foreign vessels, loaded with wheat,
which have arrived within the last few days.—Hull Rocking-
ham, of Saturday.
