THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.
We have not for a long time on a Monday morning had
so few arrivals. Four foreign mails arrived during the
night. Arrivals from Portugal are hourly expected.

it
which place she left on the 18th April, appears that the
contest for the mayor, aldermen, and civic officers of that
city, had terminated, after one of the most extraordinary
struggles on record, in favour of the anti-Jacksonian party,
and there is now a majority of 3 or 4 in the corporation
decidedly opposed to the executive government. The
mayor is favourable to the administration, but notwith-
standing- the influence of public officers, and the agents
of the Treasury, he gained his return by the small majority
of only 181. At the former election the Jacksonian can-
didate carried the day by a majority of between four and
five thousand.

Business of every kind was stagnant in New York.

Extract of a letter from Rio Janeiro of the 22d February,
received this morning:—" Stock 53, and firm ; Exchange
40 to 401 A. Although there have been some disturbances
at Rio Grande they have been suppressed, after securing
some of the ringleaders. We do not attach much im-
portance to this affair. The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Bento da Silva Lisboa, has resigned ; and the Minister of
Justice, Rodrique Jones, is also expected to resign. All
is tranquil at Rio Janeiro. Thirty thousand bags of coffee
have been sold in the month of February, and one thousand
cases of sugar ; but the holders at present are not much
disposed to continue their sales at the present prices."

The only arrival we have of any consequence this
morning is the express from Paris, which states that, ac-
cording to accounts from Madrid of the 3d inst., nothing
certain had transpired respecting the Spanish loan, and the
general belief was, that none of the tenders would be
accepted. A report prevailed in Paris, that some dis-
4443ances took place at Madrid on the 2d instant,
is was discredited ; also that Don Carlos eon-
finiffiated an invasion of Spain to the south of the Tagus ;
bit the most important part of the express is, that France
has intimated to the powers of the Holy Alliance that she
will not suffer any act of aggression on Switzerland.
French Funds 79f. 50c. ; Spanish come lower, 29. In-
deed, according to all accounts it appears that nothing will
be done with the Cortes' Bonds until the meeting of the
Cortes, and when that will take place is as yet uncer ain.
We have no doubt that in the interim the Spanish Go-
vernment have provided a certain sum of money to go on
with until the meeting of the Cortes.
In consequence of this uncertainty Spanish Bonds have
lowered, and have been done at 36 I/8 ; Portuguese 78.
Consols opened at 925/43 for the Account.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The accounts received this morning from Madrid, state
the cause of the Spanish loan being put off to be owing to
the Spanish government having received the treaty ; and
that they were anxious to have the credit of the Spanish
nation put upon a par with others, which they could not
accomplish without paying their old debts ; in consequence
of which, they were determined to have a further delibera-
tion on the subject of paying the Cortes bonds.
Consols continue to improve, done at 92% for the
Account.

Spanish and Portuguese Stocks are better than in the
earlier part of the morning ; the former are 36i 4, and the
latter 783/.
A report prevails of an arrival from Portugal, but no-
thing further is known as yet.

We have just received the Hamburg Reporter of the
th May.

`We understand deputations from the cowl-

ties of Devon, Sussex, Kent, Essex, Berks, &c., will
meet at Brown's hotel, Palace-yard, on Tuesday, the
21st inst., at twelve o'clock, at noon, for the purpose of
conferring on the English Tithe Bill, and on the
best method of stating to his Majesty's Ministers such
objections to certain provisions of the bill as may then
occur to the meeting, with a view of procuring an
alteration in these provisions.

Plymouth, Sunday morning, May 11, 6 A.M.
—The County of Pembroke has not arrived, nor are
there any other arrivals this morning. Wind N.,
light airs and fine. The Canopus is out of sight.
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The splen-
did gardens of this society, at Chiswick, were on Sa-
turday thrown open for the season, and a host of
beauty and fashion thronged its charming walks and
lawns, gazing with delighted eyes at the beauties of
nature here collected from all parts of the world, and
listening to the music of the military bands stationed
in the garden.

We are sorry to say that trade in this town
is exceedingly bad. This state of things is, no doubt,
considerably aggravated by the ruin and devastation in
America, occasioned by the President Jackson's tam-
pering with the currency.—Birmingham Journal.

The yearly meeting of the Quakers is always
held this, month. An invitation to attend it is expressed
in the following terms :—"To attend on the first fourth
day, after the third first day, in the fifth month."

During a storm which raged on Tuesday
afternoon, a shepherd at Neuville, near Montreuil, on
the road to Calais, was killed by lightning. His
leathern coat, which on account of the rain must
naturally have been on his back, was carried to a con-
siderable distance from him, but did not show the least
mark of having been burnt or injured.
\Vc understand that a singular and exceed-
ingly important question will occupy the attention of
the early sittings of the next General Assembly. It is,
whether those who have declared themselves opposed
to the alliance of Church and State can be permitted
to take their seats as members of the Supreme Court
of the National Establishment of Scotland.

An old Quaker, on being asked by a church-
man why he did not conform, replied—Friend, I will
never belong to the church, because, according to
thine own testimony, it is always in danger.

A few days ago, a lady resident at Balby,
who is in her 85th year, cut eight teeth in the front
part of her mouth.— Sheffield Mercury.

Mr. ESTCOURT said, in 1830 a gratuity of 40°
guineas, and in 1821 one of 300 guineas, were granted to
the rector. He was called a non-resident because he lived
only six doors out of the parish. The whole amount of
his yearly income was 4601., out of which he had to pay
his curate 1501. per year, for which he ought to be
extolled. observations iii
