THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Montreal papers to the 29th July, and Quebec to the 23d
July, have been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house.

From the above papers we learn that his Majesty's sloop of
war, Vestal, anchored at Quebec on Wednesday last, ten days
from Halifax. Sh• is understood to have brought specie for
the military government, amounting to 75,0001.
SATURDAY COMMITTEE-OFFICE, MONTREAL, JULY 22.
Owing to the various contradictory rumours put into circula-
.

Lion relative to the cholera hospitals at St. Ann's CommOn,
and to do away with the alarm, the Saturday Committee think
it their duty to publish an official report respecting these hos-
pitals. Total number of patients received at the cholera hos-
pital from the 11th July (the first day of the appearance of the
cholera), until July 22, included, has been 44—dead, 28.
( From the Quebec Papers.)
Of 23 cases admitted into the Marine Hospital since Satur-
day we learn that three only have terminated fatally. The
Marine Hospital is now open for the reception of the sick.
We have arrivals this morning of a Lisbon Mail, sailed on
the 17th of August ; from Oporto 18th of August ; and from
Vigo 19th of August, by the Confance. Also a Mail from
Vera Cruz by the Goldfinch sailed on the Ist of July, and from
Havannah, July 20. The former Mail brings the opening speech
of the Cortes by Don Pedro, which is of great length, recapi-
tulating all the former events of six years ; upon the whole it is
looked upon as favourable to the Portuguese Nation.
The accounts by the mail from Vera Cruz is not of a later
date than previously received by the American papers, of Santa
Anna having united with the clergy, and marching a force to
put down the Government party. Large remittances are ex-
pected from Vera Cruz, by the next arrival.
The Dutch and Flanders mails are, as usual, without any
news of importance.
The French mail, and express from Paris, are of more im-
portance than the former arrivals. From the theatre of war in
Spain, we are still supplied with repetitions of marches and
countermarches of the contending armies. General Rodil, who
was to have driven Don Carlos into the sea, or caused him to
be taken in Biscay, has again let go his prey ; and, behold,
Don Carlos with his seven-league boots, appears ' again at
Onate, and General Rodil again galloping after him. The
non• appearance of telegraph despatches from Bayonne for two
days, caused a serious alarm among the Spanish speculators at
Paris, and the funds receded considerably. Spanish, 32 ;
Rentes, 74f. 90c.

THE FUNDS

Consols opened at the price they left off on Saturday, 90i
for the Account; little doing. Spanish, which left off on the
above day 44i, receded 1 per cent. ; done at 431 ; afterwards
43 ; at present they are 44 to 1. Portuguese maintains its
price, owing to Don Pedro's speech • 8313-
HALF PAST ONE.
The mania for speculating in Spanish Stock has been
again resumed this morning, although the above Stock was
considerably lower in the Paris Markets. Spanish,
which was done at the opening of our Market at 43+, soon
after took a turn, with a reaction of nearly 2 per cent., and
reached 44i to 45 ; at present it is 44i 4.
A general report prevailed of an express from Madrid of the
18th inst., with favourable accounts respecting the Cortes
Bonds, which to the present time cannot be traced to any
authentic source.

At Amsterdam a prospectus has appeared for a loan for
Don Carlos to a large amount, issued by one of the first
houses there.

Consols are heavy, and receded from 90k s to 94 for the
Account. No further arrivals.

drawn more than ordinary attention to the real depredators in
that way, who have been hunted off the course at all the recent
races.

On the Oxford circuit, which extends over eight
counties, and some of them very large and populous ones, no
person has been left to suffer the extreme penalty of the law.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.--This Noble Lord
arrived in Lancaster on Monday afternoon, on his way to
Brougham Hall, in Westmorland. His Lordship appeared in
Court, soon after his arrival, to visit the arena where some of
his most arduous contentions have taken place, and where
many of his most witty and eloquent harangues have been de-
livered. As soon as he appeared the whole bar rose and paid
every respect to his Lordship, as they did also when he de-
departed. In the evening his Lordship dined at the King's
Arms with his old associates, and on Tuesday again visited the
Court, when the same marks of respect were exhibited as be-
fore. His Lordship does not look worse than he did half a
dozen years ago at the close of an assize. His Lordship ar-
rived at Brougham Hall late on Tuesday night, having come
by way of Patterdale and Pooley Bridge. Mr. W. Brougham
and his bride were expected at Brougham Hall on Thursday
night.—Carlisle Journal.
The carcase of a young whale, in a state of putre-
faction, was, on Monday last, carried up by the tide and left on
the banks of the river Usk, at a place called the Marsh, about
half a mile from the bridge, at Newport. It had been ob-
served for several days previously at the entrance of the river,
in the channel ; it measured in length 22 feet, and was com-
puted to be not less than 9 feet in girth at the thickest part ;
on the back was a large wound, which had probably occasioned
its death, and which had the appearance of having been in-
flicted with a harpoon. The effluvia it sent forth was extremely
offensive, but notwithstanding several hundreds of the inhabi-
tants of Newport flocked to see it. The authorities, deeming
it to be a nuisance, had it towed down the river the next morn-
ing's tide, when it was turned adrift to seek some other rest-
ing place. This, we have been informed, it subsequentl)
found still higher up the river, near Caerleon.--.Bi istol Mer-

The corn fields around Kendal are dotted with
stooks, the grain in this district being all at once fit for the
sickle. The ripening has been so rapid that fears are enter-
tained of the ears yieldingbadly ; the straw is abundant. The
wages of shearers have been higher than for many years.
