THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.
Madras papers to the 6th of April have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house.
From the above papers,
The Governor-General, we understand, left, or was about
to leave, Bangalore for the Neilghenies, where his Lordship
will probably remain for some to recruit his health.
We have no further news from the seat of war.
According to the Herald, there were not more than twenty
persons present on Saturday last at the Steam Meeting ; this
is not a little surprising. The novelty is over, and the mulls
relapse. Can such be the case? However, the ship from
England, it appears, was more the theme of confab than was
the steam communication matter of discussion.
Mauritius papers to the 2d of July have been received at
Calcutta. The excitement of faction is as violent as ever.
Mr. Jeremie, so far from endeavouring to allay the popular
ferment, is represented as adopting every measure calculated
to fan the hatred against him.
Th

le only arrival this morning of any consequence is the
Express from Paris, which does not furnish us with any later
information than the accounts received yesterday of the move-
ments of the contending armies ; but it appears by a telegra-
phic dispatch from Bayonne, that accounts had been received
from Madrid of the 22d inst., that tranquillity continued to
reign in that capital up to that period ; all the civil and mili-
tary authorities had been changed, Martinez de la Rosa had-
retired to Madrid, and the Queen was expected on the 24th,
and would open the Cortes in person. Preparatory Meetings
of the Members of both Chambers took place on the 20th and
21st inst., and the best spirit was manifested.
The Bayonne letters state that the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vails in Navarre, in favour of Don Carlos.
The Government of St. Sebastian had received directions
to prepare for the arrival of a British squadron in that port.

THE FUNDS.
The want of arrivals this morning causes rather a dulness in
the City, and the chief object the speculators have in view is
the meeting of the Cortes ; we shall, no doubt, ascertain to-
morrow, by the telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, whether
they have met or not.
Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 91* I,
for the Account, with little doing. Spanish has somewhat
improved, and been done at 44:f ; Portuguese, 861.
No arrivals as yet from Portugal.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We hear that the special meeting, held this day at the
Bank, has terminated, where it was stated that Government
had come to a resolution of giving for their debt to the Pro-
prietors at 90 three per cents; reduced ; and the Bank are not
to sell the Stock without the consent of the Proprietors.
Consols are at present 911 s for the Account, with little
doing. Bank Stock has improved one per cent. in conse-
quence of Government's proposal being received favourably by
the Proprietors.

' Spanish Stock has improved to 45- 1, owing to information
from Bordeaux that the Cortes were to meet on the 24th inst.,
that Don Carlos had become much alarmed, and that his army
could not hold out much longer. Portuguese 86i to 1.

Consols for the Account, 911 lAt,

UNIVERSITY BILL.—The Hon. G. J. Vernon
voted last night in the majority.
The elevation of Lord Apsley to the Peerage by the
demise of his father? Earl Bathurst, will cause a vacancy in the
representation of Cirencester, for which place he has sat since
1812.
Mr. Charles Bathurst has offered himself for the
office vacant by the death of Sir W. Guise, of the four Ver-
derers of the Forest of Dean, the election to which is vested in
the freeholders.

NEW STREET FROM THE STRAND._A repre-
sentation was made yesterday in writing to Sir J. C. Hob-
house, on the part of several individuals, as Chief Commis-
sioner of the Woods and Forests, stating the very great incon-
venience which is suffered from the slow progress of the im-
provements, and the delay in erecting the sewer and the new
street leading from the Strand to York-street, Covent-garden.
The documents contain several particulars relative to the very
dilatory manner in which the works are carried on, and the
danger arising from the ruinous state of the houses which have
been partially razed.
We are happy to hear that a requisition is now in
the course of signature among the merchants of London, the
object of which, is the natural expression of respect towards
Earl Grey on his retirement from office, after having closed a
long political life of unsullied patriotism.
ANTWERP, JULY 24.—The ravelin which is
going to be erected opposite to the bastion of Toledo will be
a considerable work ; it will fortify a part of the citadel, the
weakness of which was shown in the late siege. This ravelin
will cut the rampart of the Beguoue Gate, and will extend to
the middle of the esplanade, which will be greatly diminished.
The quantity of materials collected on the spot, and the line
of the works as marked out, indicate the importance of this
undertaking. A considerable number of workmen are ex-
pected. When this work is finished it will be much more dif-
ficult to draw off the water from the moat, as it will be neces-
sary, in order to accomplish this, to get possession of the
ravelin.
