THE FUNDS.-CTHIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL V E O'CLOCK
Up to the present hour we have no arrivals of foreign
aletils, prevented no doubt by the boisterous weather.
Ey the Philadelphia papers, received this morning at
tae North and South American Coffee-house, to the 20th
November, and• Washington to the 14th November, we
have a letter from the Havannah of the 16th October, as
follows, as
" We are now in the midst of such demonstrations of
taY, as, in regard to labour and expenses, the western world
as probably never witnessed, the swearing as successor
tv the crown of Spain a little girl, three yearsTheserejoicings
these
Psreueies, fireworks, palaces hung with beautiful tapestry,
lad, the barracks decorated with the portraits of the King
4nd Queen."
The following communication has been received from
vntral America :—Tbe City of Cartargo, October 3.-
4 The civil war and intestine troubles which have so long
tent our unhappy country, are, thanks to Heaven, sues
eeedtcl by a calm. Every state in the Union evinces a
desire to adhere to the federal compact, and one and all
are using their utmost endeavours to procure a revision and
amendment of our Constitution, and purge it from all
abuses.
Two steam-boats have been burnt, the St. Martin and
the Brunswick.
The Funds still continue without animation. Consols
°Petard at the price they left off yesterday, tiSi for the

4ccount.
The Foreign Market is also inactive. Prices much the
came as yesterday.

HALF PAST ONE.
Eight foreign mails still remain due, and 120 ships re-
tnain wind bound at Liverpool.
We have a general report in the city, that Don Pedro
has refused the mediation of the three Powers.
We are exceedingly dull in the City for want of intelli-
gence, which causes the Consols to continue stationary
at the morning prices of SBl, buyers, for the Account.
The Foreign Market is likewise without any interest.

Sir James Kempt, Master-Genera of the
Ordnance, visited Captain Pechell, at Castle Goring, on
Sunday, and the next day continued his journey to town.
We understand that Sir slimes has been sitting on a com-
mission, composed of the Duke of Richmond, Lord John
Russell, and Lord Althorp, at Goodwood, for three days,
on financial affairs. --Bright on Gazette.
We regret to say that the Earl of Egremont
has had another attack of inflammation. Sir M. Tierney
Was sent for express on Sunday to attend his Lordship,
and having remained at Petworth on Monday, left the
Noble Earl on Tuesday, much recovered. Yesterday Sir
Matthew again visited his Lordship, and, we are happy to
Illy, on his return last night confirmed the favourable
report of the Noble Earl's state.--Brighton Gazete.
MARCHIONESS WELLESLEY.—We are au-
thorized to say that the statement of her Excellency the
Marchioness Wellesley's having, on any occasion, attended
mass in state, or with a guard of honour, is erroneous.
Freeman's Journal.
ORIENTAL ANNUAL.—Beautiful as are the
illustrations of this volume, the literary part is scarcely less
attractive. It consists of a year's journey through differ-
ent parts of India, and describes with eloquence and facility,
the numerous adventures which befell the travellers, the
sights they saw, the legends they gathered, and the appear-
ance and habits of the dwellers in the primeval retreats of
nature. The whole of this narrative is invaluable and
exciting ; the style of the composition is chaste and pictur-
esque; the author exhibits an intuna.e acquaintance with
his subject, and demonstrates in every page the great
superiority of personal observation over the mere poetry of
inspired gum-work and romance. The work has a double
claim to favour, from the beauty of its illustrations and the
truth of its description., and it may be accepted as one of
the most animated pictures that has ever issued from the
press.--Atlas.
VORACITY OF A RAT.—In the course of
Wednesday night, a fat pig, weighing about 20 stones,
the property of a person in Sheffield, was selected by a
hungry rat for his prey. After several attempts in part.
where the skin was too hard for him to penetrate, the vo-
racious animal fixed on the pig's neck, where he left a
hole about three inches deep, and four or five in eh cum-
