THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
This is the dullest morning we have bad for some time
past for information, there being no arrivals of the least
importance from any quarter, which causes a complete
staenation in the Funds.

The merchants and speculators are anxiously waiting
the arrival of further information from Portugal, to ascer-
tain the true cause for which the Echo steamer was de-
spatched to Government from Lisbon, as the assertions in
the various journals on the affairs of Portugal have not
proved correct.

Consols opened at the price they left off, BSI for the
Account—scarce a bargain doing.
Portuguese Scrip has been done at 191.; at present
may be quoted 191 to 204.

_
HALF-PAST ONE.
A report prevails that the Royalist has arrived from
Lisbon, but we cannot trace it to any authentic source at
present.
A Dutch mail has arrived. It does not bring any poli-

tical news of consequence ; but our private information
states that the Dutch treasury is in a prosperous state; and
that the King of Holland does not require a loan, money
being so plentiful at Amsterdam. The Dutch Funds
come much the same as per last accounts.

Consols continue at the opening price, 881 I for the
Account, and 88k to 4 for money. No business doing.
Portuguese Scrip, 19k to 20k prem. In other Fo-
reign Securities nothing doing.
We hear that five hundred troops embark for Don
Pedro this day ; there are also going from Ireland five
hundred more Catholics for the Queen's regiment.

THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for the Account, 88it.

We regret to have to announce another in-
stance of fatal attack of spasmodic cholera, in the person
of Lady Armstrong, wife of Colonel Sir Richard Arm
strong, of the 26th Regiment, who expired at her resi-
dence in Sackville-street, on Sunday last, after a few
hours' illness.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.--A gentleman at
Liverpool has invented an apparatus for converting salt
water into fresh, which, if it answers the expectations of
the inventor as to cheapness and utility, must prove of
great service to ships on long voyages. It is stated that this
process, for its economy and simplicity of operation, has
met with the most decided approbation of persons capable
of appreciating the merits of the invention.
