THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Quebec Papers to the 7th March, and Montreal to the 11th,
have been received at the North and South American Coffee-
house.

(From the Quebec Papers.)
Mr. Secretary Craig delivered the following Message :
" Aylmer, Governor-in-Chief.—With reference to that pas-
sage in the speech of the Governor, wherein the House of
Assembly is informed that, previous to the meeting of the Pro-
vincial Parliament, he had received communications from his
Majesty's Government upon subjects of vital interest to the
welfare of the province, he now transmits the under-mentioned
documents for the information of the Assembly :-Ist, Copy
of a despatch from E. G. Stanley, dated Ist May, 1834; 2d,
Copy of the order of reference to the Committee appointed by
the Honourable House of Commons on the 15th April, 1834 ;
3d, Copy of the report of the Committee of the Honourable
House of Commons, appointed to investigate the affairs of
Lower Canada; 4th, Copy of a despatch from the Right
Hon. Spring Rice, dated 29th June, 1834."
The question of paying the contingency of the Assembly and
their large arrears is still undetermined. The Governor's de.
finitive Message (of the nature of which nothing is certainly
known, but expected by some to-night) was taken in a very ill
humour by the House.

The Montreal papers state, that up to Saturday night, Lord
Aylmer's reply to the Assembly's request for an advance of
eighteen thousand pounds, on account of their contingent ex-
penses, had not been transmitted to that body ; in expectation,
however, of a refusal, the Members are leaving Quebec. The
House of Assembly is in a complete state of bankruptcy, with-
out means, and without credit.

We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp of
the 18th instant, bringing the Dutch Funds 2i per Cents.,
; 5 per Cents., 101 15-16.
Our arrivals this morning are few : two French mails,
and one Ostend, with the express from Paris, by which it ap-
pears that the American Indemnity Bill is likely to pass the
House of Representatives.
FRENCH FUNDS.-Five per Cents., 107 85 ; Three per
Cents., 82 10 ; Cortes Bonds, 49i ; Coupons, 31k.

THE FUNDS.

We can have no better proof this morning how the public
and monied interests in the city view the new Ministry, than by
the improvement of the funds.
_

Con.sols, which left off on Saturday at 92ii for the Account,
opened this morning at 92n ; for money 9411, with a bouyant
market.

The Foreign Securities have also a very firm appearance,
and may be quoted as follows :—Spanish Bonds 671- 68 ; Spa-
nish Scrip Sii prem. ; Portuguese Stock 99 to I; Colombian
62 to 2.
The New York papers to the 26th March are void of inte-
rest. Bank Shares 1091 110.

HALF-PAST ONE.
No other subject is talked of in the city but the new Go-
vernment, which is approved of, according to the principles of
the different parties, Whigs or Tories. At all events the
Funds are buoyant, and Consols continue firm at the morning
prices of 92ii. for the Account, and 921 for Money, with
little doing.
The foreign market also continues very firm, and extraor-
dinary to state, Columbian Stock is the favourite specula-
tion of the morning. It has reached 55 4.
Spanish Bonds, 674 ; Spanish Scrip, 81 prem. ; Portu-
guese, 99 ; Danish, 76 a ; Mexican, 62; Chilian, 59 ; Dutch
21- per Cents., 57k.
At this moment the Royal Exchange is in a bustle. Being
Easter Monday the Blue Coat Boys have taken possession of
it ; in consequence of which the merchants have disappeared
until they have taken their departure.
Consols for the Account, 92 1.

THREE O'CLOCK.

Sir John Campbell was this morning sworn in as
his Majesty's Attorney-General, at the house of the Lord
Chancellor (Lord Lyndhurst) George-street, Hanover-
square, his Lordship still holding the Great Seal.

The King is no Reformer : there can be no mis-
take in this point now. If ever, either from ignorance of its
consequences, or from a natural desire of popularity, his Ma-
jesty gave an assent to the Reform Bill, he saw strong reasons
to alter his mind before that measure was carried through, and
ever since Lord Grey's forced return to office, he has been di-
gesting with inward pain the medicinal draught of Reform
which at first seemed sweet to the palate. 'We believe that
our gracious Sovereign came to the throne indifferent on the
great questions which now agitate the nation; he is a good-
natured man, and wishing to enjoy the love of his people, was
willing to purchase that valuable possession by countenancing
a popular Administration. The storm, however, which he
raised in the palace and in the peerage by his liberal measures,
he never foresaw; it was more than he could master, and
there can be little doubt now that absolute Toryism is the
creed of the palace, and that none but a Tory premier has any
chance of securing a hearty welcome into the Cabinet. This
is very important to be known ; it may be the key of many
state secrets during the remainder of this happy reign, and
will help to explain some things which otherwise would be in-
explicable.—Birmingham Reformer.

The late Rowland Hill was very fond of mending
old clocks. Once at a friend's house he had retired, as the
company supposed, before preaching, to consider his sermon;
but on his host's entering the room to inform him that the
time had arrived for going to the place of worship, he found
him with an old clock all to pieces on the table. Mr. Hill
said, " I have been mending your old clock, and I will finish
it to-morrow." He preached with more than usual ease and
fervour, and drew several beautiful images, from the occupation
in which his friend, to his surprise, had found him engaged.
AN UNGALLANT TITLE.—Among the novelties
lately produced at the Theatre des Varietes at Paris, at Paris,
is a i!!e, having the rather ungallant title of Une Femme
est un Diable.
