THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Admiral Napier, on board the Duchess of Braganza
frigate has arrived at Portsmouth, and taken up his
residence cpposite Don Carlos.
Charlestown papers to the 27th May, and Demerara
papers to the 13th May, have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house. The for-
mer papers state, by accounts from Havre, that the
French Government had despatched a sloop of war
from Brest for the United States with despatches for
the American Government of such a character as, it
was presumed, would be satisfactory.
The venerable Maddison is' expected soon to close
his earthly pilgrimage.
The Demerara papers contain the expenditure and
revenue of the last year, and the estimates and ways
and means of the present, by which it appears that a
very considerable reduction has been effected in the
fixed salaries of public officers.
The great measure of emancipation and its accom-
panying sugar plumb—shall we call it of compensa-
tion, will be finally completed with safety, and with as
much satisfaction to the West Indian, as it is possible
for them under such untoward circumstances to feel.
We have received Barbadoes Papers to the ISt o
May ; they do not contain any political news of im.
portance.

THE. FUNDS.

The express from Paris chiefly relates to the elec-
tions ; 226 deputies have been returned, and 40 mem-
bers of the opposition have not been re-elected.
Some of the Paris papers put great stress on the
intelligence given in the Augsburg Gazette, that the
Sultan, expecting a new rupture with the Paella of
Egypt, had applied to Russia for assistance. Accord-
ing to information from Constantinople, there cer-
tainly appears great bustle in the Cabinet there ; for
two successive days the Divan assembled, and on the
latter day sat six hours, and on its breaking up
a great number of Tartars were despatched into
the interior of the country ; also several officers were
sent to the Dardanelles ; and an express, with de-
spatches and instructions to Odessa to the Russian
Governor-General.

THREE O'CLOCK.

An express has arrived from Amsterdam. The
funds have fallen three and half per cent, owing to
some unfavourable accounts having been received from
Frankfort respecting the Diet. Spanish Stock has
also receded in Holland 3 per cent. The: Dutch
mail is hourly expected.
Consols for the Account, 92%.

The Pluto steam-vessel arrived at the island
of Ascension on the 24th of April, and was to leave in
a few days for the Bights.
The recent death of Admiral Manby, at
Southampton, was occasioned by his accidentally
taking an over-dose of opium. He was in his 67th
'year, and was brother to Capt. Manby, the inventor of
the life-preserving apparatus.
The scarlet fever is very prevalent at this
time. Last week three of Mr. Naylor's children, at
Whaplode, lay dead of it in the house at the same
time, and within the last six weeks eight or ten chil-
dren have died at Heckington alone of the same dis-
order.—Boston Herald.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, THURSDAY, Jus2 25.

HOUSE OF COMMONS
The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour.
Mr. FITZSIMON presented it petition in favour
of the King's Town Improvement Bill.
LORD'S DAY BILL.—(No. 2.)
The house resolved itself into a committee on the
Lord's Day Bill.
Mr. JERVIS chairman.
Clause 9, providing against keeping open shops, by
the infliction of a penalty.
11rl.owPeOd.TT ER said this clause was an attempt to
revive an act passed 158 years ago, and proposed as
amendment that the sale of confectionary, fruit, soda-
, water, ginger-beer, and other unintoxicating liquors
be all

Mr. POUL TER resisted the introduction of the
clause, as being calculated to cause the setting up a
new trade all over the country, for the sale of fruit
and confectionary on the Lord's Day. He laid no t
wish to increase the power of the law, but he would
not agree to diminish it. He said, without such ex-
ceptions the people would be driven to beer-shops,
which were allowed to remain open.
The gallery was cleared for a division, when there
appeared—

Mr. PO ULTER proposed a further amendment,
for permitting the sale of fish and butcher's meat be-
ige half-past nine o'clock in the morning, and per-
mitting the keeping open of baking-houses until two

o'clock.
Mr. PO ULTE R said, that as the bill in another
clause provided for the payment of wages on Saturday
in sufficient time to prevent the necessity of Sunday
marketing, he should resist the amendment.
Mr. O'CONNELL said it was quite trifling to
occupy the time of the house in legislating on such a
bill, and hoped the hon. and learned member would
give it up. He remembered London forty years ago,
and he would put it to any man who also recollected
the state of London, even for twenty years, whether
the observance of the Sabbath had not increased,
while the rigour of the law was relaxed. (Hear.) He
should move that the report be received that day xis
months. (Hear.)
Mr. FOULTER said there was a call for some
moderate measure in every part of the kingdom.
(Cries of " No, no.") He did not wish to alter the
present spirit of the law, but only to remove some
gross evasions.
Mr. O'CONNELL replied.
Mr. F. PALMER said there were a large number
of single working men who could not get victuals on
the Sunday if there were no shops open for thou-
( Hear, hear.)
Mr. WARD was of opinion that legislation would
only have the effect of increasing the evils complained
of. (Hear.)
Mr. FINCH opposed the amendment.
111 r. GISBORNE said, if it was attempted to carrY
legislation on this subject one whit beyond the feeling
of the country, it would be ineffectual ; and if the
feeling of the country was in favour of the general
observance of the Sabbath, legislation would be un-
necessary. (Hear.) He hoped the hon. member
would withdraw the bill.
Mr. PO ULTE R explained.
Mr. O'CONNELL said, as. there was already so
much legislation on the subject, it was unnecessary to

with a view to make it more acceptable to the public.
Mr. PRYME concurred with the hon. member. for
Dover.
Lord SANDON said he should support the gene-
ral principle of the bill ; but he could not agree to
that clause making it imperative for masters to pay.
their workmen on Saturdays.
Sir G. GREY said the course pursued by the hon.

and learned gentleman opposite, was most extraordi-
nary, after the house had given permission to intro-
duce such a bill. Let the house treat the bill fairly,
and not agree to throw it out in the way proposed by
the hon. and learned member.
Mr. BEAUMONT condemned the bill as fanatical

and hoped the hon. and learned member for Dublin
would press his motion to a division, that the country
might see who supported such /!puritanical measure.
After a few words from Mr. GISBORNE, *-
O'DWYER, Sir A. AGNEW, and other hon. members,
The ,gallery was cleared for a division on Mr.
O'CONNELL'S motion, when there appeared—

On our return to the gallery,
Mr. HALCOMB was on his legs, suggestuThg to
the hon. member for Wigan (Mr. Potter) to withdraw
his amendment, at least that part which allowed bake-
houses to remain open till 2 o'clock.
Mr. POTTER thought that the clause, as it ori-
ginally stood, would satisfy every purpose of the
amendment.
Mr. O'CONNELL said there were acts at present
allowing bake-houses to remain open till half-past 1.
The present bill defeated those acts. (" No," from
Mr. Poulter.) It was impossible to understand what
was the meaning of the bill of the hon. member, as
must always be the case when they attempted to legis-
late upon subjects which were not fit for legislation.

On our re-entrance to the gallery we found the
house discussing the " wages clause," which, after a
short conversation was withdrawn.
On the fifth clause being read,
Mr. O'CONNELL said that the clause would
greatly facilitate extortion, and would certainly divide
the house upon it.
Mr. POULTER said that the hon. and learned
member for Dublin did not appear to understand the
clause. The clause went merely to prevent parties
getting out of the jurisdiction of the place where the
offence was committed, and thus escaping punishment.
Mr. POLLOCK suggested that the clause should
be withdrawn, which was accordingly done.
Clause 6 was agreed to without alteration, as were
clauses 7 and 8, and the preamble.
Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice, that on
the bringing up of the report he would move
that the report be read that day six months.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress and left the
chair, which was taken by the Speaker. d
