THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The only arrivals this morning are Montreal papers to
the 20th of April, and Quebec to the 19th of April, which
were received at the North and South American Coffee-
house, and the express from Paris.
(From the Montreal Papers. )
Four hundred signatures have been obtained amongst
the inhabitants of St. Martin, to the loyal address to the
King, against the assembly proceedings.
(From the Quebec Papers. )
FIRST STE A 3IE R. —The St. Laurence arrived last even-
ing—she came from Sorel, and she did not expect to find
the ice was gone.
THE SEASON. —We have been without rain for nearly
the last fortnight, and in some places ploughing is re-
tarded. Grain of several descriptions, and potatoes have
been put into the ground upon most of the farms. Last
night we experienced a sharp frost.

THE FUNDS.

The express from Paris is of minor importance.
What we stated three days since that Don Pedro had
given his sanction to the treaty, and would be signed and
sent to this country by the Pembroke steamer, was fully
confirmed by Lord Palmerston in the house last night.
Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday,
92% 3/4 for the account. Spanish and Portuguese—the
former opened at MIA to %, the latter 783/4 79.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Consols have been during the whole of the morning at
92% % for the account, with little doing.
it appears that up to the present time Lord Palmerston's
speech respecting the Peninsula has not had any effect on
the Spanish and Portuguese securities; the former may
be quoted at 351% to %, and the latter 78% 34.
We have just received a Canton paper at the North and
South, American Coffee-house of the 22d January. A
most audacious attack was lately made upon two foreign
gentlemen, coming up to Whampoa in a boat by one of the
petty Mandarines who infest the river.
In Cotton there has been a brisk demand, and prices ink
proved.

county meeting for the eastern division of
Kent is to be held on Monday, to take into considera-
tion Lord Althorp's Tithe Bill. The Kent Herald
says " It is arranged by the leaders of the liberal party
that a proposition for the total abolition of tithes will
be submitted to the meeting, either as a substantive
motion, or as an amendment on any proposal in sup-
port of Lord Althorp's bill."
A grand dinner was lately given by a widow
lady at. Montpelier, on the occasion of the marriage of
her daughter about three weeks before, supplied by a
respectable restaurateur. Out of fifty guests who par-
took of the feast, thirty were taken ill and showed
symptoms of having been poisoned by verdigris. An-
tidotes were promptly administered, ane all of the suf-
ferers were relieved and ultimately restored, except
the mother of the bride, who expired on the morning
of the sth, after suffering dreadful agonies. This is a
new instance of the danger of neglecting to be careful
in having copper vessels well tinned.
