THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.
Our foreign arrivals this morning are French and Mexican
mails, the latter by the Plover, sailed from Vera Cruz on the
21st May,—Havannah 4th June.
The information from Mexico is rather of an unfavourable
nature. Santa Anna returned to the capital on the 24th April,
when finding that Gomas Ferias and the Congress were en-
deavouring to carry the decree for the confiscation of the
Church property into effect, he declared himself opposed to
the measure, and dissolved the Congress, on which the Mi-
nister of Finance tendered his resignation, which was ac-
cepted.
Information from Holland states that the King has ordered,
to favour the commerce with Surinam, the suppression of all
duties inwards, as well as the tax on Dutch ships coming from
the East Indies.

THE FUNDS.

As the chief operations in the Funds still continue in the
Foreign Market in Spanish and Portuguese Stocks, we notice
them first. Spanish, which left off yesterday at 488 to 498,
opened this morning at 48 to I, owing to the accounts from
Madrid not being of a favourable nature, since which they
have improved to 48-3- Portuguese firm, at 88 to 1.
Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 931 to 4- for
the Account. Little doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.

We have seen a letter from Madeira of the 6th of June, con-
firming the surrender of that Island to Donna Maria, without
the shedding of blood.
. .

We have no fresh arrivals to the present hour.
Consols remain inactive and stationary at 93k to i for the
Account.

Spanish Stock is heavy at 481 7,-; Portuguese has improved
to 891; Mexican Stock had receded in the early part of the
morning about 2 per cent., since which, the unfavourable news
in the Herald not being credited, it has had the effect of im-
proving the above stock.
Extract of a letter from Mexico, dated May 15 :
" Congress was dissolved by Santa Anna prior to the 15th
of May. Guray, the Minister of Finance, had resigned, and
Xavier Enhevenira appointed in his place. The Conductor,
which was to leave Mexico for Vera Cruz the beginning of
May, was detained in consequence of the disturbances ex-
pected to result from the gloomy prospect of political affairs
in the city."
THREE O'CLOCK
Consols for the Account, 93;1,4.

We are requested to state that Colonel Caradoc was
still at Madrid on the 20th June. It was supposed there, that
he would accompany the army of General Rodil into the re-
volted provinces of the North, to act as a mediator between the
Spanish Government and the factious, if this new demonstra-
tion of force afforded an opportunity of bringing these mis-
guided men to reason without further bloodshed. The pre-
sence of a British agent of known moderation, yet of liberal
opinions, would, at all events, be a guarantee against the cold-
blooded scenes of death with which this unfortunate contest
has hitherto been stained.

FALMOUTH, JULY 6.—His Majesty's packet
Plover, Lieut. Downie, has arrived here this afternoon, from
Tampico, whence she sailed on the 10th May, and from Vera
Cruz, which she left on the 21st. The intelligence by
this packet possesses interest, and goes far to corroborate
the oftentimes expressed opinion of individuals arriving from
Mexico, in doubting the permanency of tranquillity in the Re-
public, and in expressing their belief that Santa Anna would he
the foremost in again producing trouble. His return to the
city took place on the 24th April, when, on finding that Gomas
Farias and the Congress were endeavouring to carry the
Decree for the confiscation of the church property into effect,
he declared himself opposed to the measure, and dissolved the
Congress, on which the Minister of Finance tendered his re-
signation, which was accepted ; others of the Ministry, it was
expected, would follow his example. This opposition on the
part of the President to the acts of the ExeCutive, it was
feared, would again plunge that country in revolution, as in
Santa Anna's protection of 'the interest of the clergy, it was
believed he would find powerful supporters. The roads from
the city to the coast were greatly infested with banditti ; the
transmission of money and goods could not be effected without
great risk of plunder. The Plover has brought home, on
merchants' accounts, 280,000 dollars. The yellow fever was
very fatally prevailing at Vera Cruz.

A license for the marriage of Mr. John Plowman,
jun., to Ann, eldest daughter of Mr. Jubber, was obtained
from the office of Mr. Robert Morrell, and notice was sent in
due time to the Rev. J. H. Newman, Fellow of Oriel College,
and Vicar of St. Mary's, that the marriage would take place
on Tuesday last. Before eight o'clock on that morning, the
Vicar called upon Mr. Jubber, and thus addressed him :
" Mr. Jubber, has your daughter Ann ever been christened ?"
Mr. Jubber replied in the negative. The Vicar then said, " I
will not marry her for she is an outcast." Mr. Plowman, on
being told of this, called Mr. Morrell's clerk, who altered the
licence from St. Mary's, the parish of the bride, to St. Michael's,
the parish of the bridegroom. Notice of the marriage was
given to the Rev. J. Calcott, Fellow of Lincoln College,
and officiating minister of the latter parish. The parties pro-
ceeded to church, and were married by Mr. Calcott without
the slightest hesitation.—Oxford Herald.

ADMIRAL NAPIER'S PRIZE MONEY.—OIIC
hundred and thirty thousands pounds have been allotted to the
Queen of Portugal's fleet, as the value of the Miguelite ships
captured in the gallant action of the sth of July, 1833; of
which the admiral receives one-eighth, equal to 16,0001. ;
captains and commanders, 2,000/. each ; lieutenants, 800/. ;
surgeons, &c., 500/. ; midshipmen, &c., 300/. ; sailors, 2001.
Besides the above, the officers anal men of the Queen's fleet
are promised a share of captured merchant vessels—to the
admiral, 4,000/. ; to lieutenants, 2001. ; and to the others in
like proportion.—Naval and Military Gazette.
DELIRIUM TREMENS.—The attack of this dis-
ease is, in general, sudden ; that from hard drinking usually
breaks out in the middle of a drinking bout, or a very short
time afterwards. The patient knows his friends and those
about him, and will readily answer any questions which are put
to him. But he pours forth an incessant stream of idle and
unmeaning talk ; sometimes about one thing, sometimes about
another. At one time he imagines that men are breaking into
the house ; at another time he fancies he hears men in the
cellar, or the garret, conspiring against him. Every sound
he listens to he thinks is intended to injure him. Even if
pretty quiet, so as to be left to himself for the purpose of ob-
taining sleep, he will leave his chamber about every quarter of
an hour, and call from the head of the stairs to have all the
doors locked. And even when well enorgh to proceed about
his business, he will leave his affairs, and come and tell you
with a most serious and grave countenance that he hears the
people in the house at that moment. He will repeat the words
which he imagines them to utter, and ask you if you do not hear
them. " There, Sir," he will say, " there is one of them at
this moment calling out to me, you thief ! did you not hear
him?" Another time he fancies that his wife, or his children,
are selling him, or betraying him, or squandering his property.
All this is accompanied by a trembling of every part of the
system, by a high colour of the face, injection of the eyes, red-
ness and heat of the forehead. Above all, the patient is
troubled with a long-continued and most obstinate want of
sleep.—Carbutt's Clinical Lectures.
THE EMIGRANT'S FIRST SABBATH IN AFRICA.
...—lt was, indeed, an affecting sight to look round on our little
band of Scottish emigrants, thus congregated, for the first
time, to worship God in the wild glen allotted for their future
home, and the heritage of their offspring. There sat, with
his silvery locks, the aged patriarch of the party, with his
Bible on his knee—a picture of the high-principled, grave
Scottish husbandman ; his respectable family seated around
him. There was the widow with her meek, kind, and quiet
look—the look of one who had seen better days, but who, in
adversity, had found pious resignation—with her three stal-
wart sons, and her young maiden daughter, placed beside her
on the grass. There, too, were others, delicate females—one
of them very nearly related to myself—of whom I need not
more particularly speak. There was the younger brother of a
Scottish laird, rich in blood, but poor in fortune, who, with an
estimable pride, had preferred a farm in South Africa to de-
pendance on aristocratic connections at home. Looking round
on these collected groups, on this day of solemn assemblage,
such reflections as the following irresistibly crowded on my
mind :—" Have I led forth from their native homes, to this
remote corner of the globe, all these my friends and relatives
for good or for evil ?—to perish miserably in the wilderness,
or to become the honoured founders of a prosperous settle-
ment, destined to extend the benefits of civilization and the
blessed light of the Gospel through this dark nook of be-
nighted Africa?" The issue of our enterprise is known only
to Him who ordereth all things well. Having selected one of
the hymns of our national church; all united in singing
it to
one of the old pathetic melodies of our native land. The day
was bright and still, and the voice of psalms rose with a
sweet and touching solemnity among those wild mountains,
where the praise of the true God had never, in all human pro-
bability, been sung before. We then atad some of the most
suitable portions of the English liturgy, and concluded with
an excellent discourse from a volume of sermons presente4 to
me on parting by the Rev. Dr. Pringle, of Perth. We had
a similar service in the afternoon. While we were singing our
last psalm, an antelope stood for a little while on the opposite
side of the rivulet, gazing at us with innocent amazement.—

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN -.and, a SPe
Jury.)
WARD AND ANOTHER V. NELLON‘. • gr.
This was an action brought by the executors of the late dr
George Ward, a merchant of the city of London,itgaillst,, , Qf
fendant, a clerk in the establishment, for the' recoYerl of
sum of 790/. and interest, being the balance Of a:
1,000/. lent in the year 1819. It appeared -by tir,,„"
ment of counsel that the defendant entered the sew Sp
Messrs. Ward and Co. in the year 1810. In 0517, -dot
George Ward withdrew from the firm, in -which the dello'
still continued to act as clerk. The deceased, however, WT., fon
very extensive mercantile speculations after having nithdr°74o
the firm, and his affairs were managed by the defendant, for;ed to
he never received any compensation. Mr. Geo. Ward
1829, and a balance of 790/. appearing due upon the books, this
sent action was brought to recover that sum. The defence ty
was the services rendered the deceased by the defendant fegl°
time he had retired from the firm until his death. A,,dr
Several letters from the deceased to the defendant, aeku°''f tbc
ing his services, were put in and read, and also a statement (,)
defendant's claim to compensation for services, acknowledge
signed by two of the executors.
After the examination of witnesses, °it
Mr. FOLLETT addressed the Jury in reply. He contended,
no evidence of a contract entered into between the decease' hsl
the defendant had been proved, and that the defendant
therefore no set-off to the debt. In proof of this stater.fry
the Learned Gentleman referred to a letter written by the,allo
dant to the deceased two months before his death, in ifbi'ly
thanked the deceased for having reduced the interest- ulliept
1,000/. but from five to four per cent., which interest ba0,49,
punctually paid from the time the money had been lent itlfid.
to the time of Air. Ward's death in 1829. If the defliit
had any legal claim upon Mr. Ward, why should, b_e,
continued to acknowledge this loan as a debt, an" 40
the regular interest upon it for so long a period ? It 1633.44de
clear from all the facts of the case that the salary which
fendant received from the firm was a compensation in full f....0r cy.
services he might have rendered Mr. Ward, and under do-SO
custances, he submitted that the plaintiffs were entitled, to
for the account claimed. ied I
The Jury after deliberating for about half an hour; retUr,
verdict for the defendant.
