CITY, TWEL VE 0' CLOCK.

Our only arrivals this morning are Montreal Papers to
Sept. 19, and Quebec to the same date, at the North umi
South American Coffee-hou•e. The Quebec Paper of Sept.
IS, gives the comparative statement of arrivals, tonnaee,
and settlers, to Sept. 17, of the past and present years, at
follows :

Vessels. Tonnage. Settlers.
1831 769
1832 779

We are happy in stating, that though cases of the cho-
lera occur, they are by no means numerous. The Hospital
Report of the morning gives admission of two deaths, and
eight remaining.— Quebec Papers.
The Montreal Papers are void of information.
THE FENDS.

According to accounts, it appears that the public and
our city speculators will be disappointed in having the
King of Holland's speech this day, as it is stated in a
Morning Journal that they were waiting at the Hague for
?he arrival of the steamer from London, previous to the
.peech being 6nally made up, in consequence of which it
would not be delivered until Tuesday. How far this re-
port is correct we cannot say at present. Great doubts
Are still entertained by the well.infortned that the King of
Holland will continue his warlike disposition ; at all events
he will have ample time to consider on the subject before
our fleet sails for his coast, and hostile measures are adopted.
Up to the present hour we have no arrivals from the
,heatre of war in Portugal. There is a report that Mi-
guel's squadron was blockading Oporto ; as yet we can-
not trace it to any authentic source.
Consols opened at the same price they left off at yt sterday,
844 for the Account, with scarcely a bargain doing ; the
speculators are waiting the arrival of the express with the
French prices.

The Foreign Market is quite idle.
HALF-PAST ONE.

In the absence of arrivals from the theatre of war in
Portugal, they report at the Stock Exchange that a battle
has taken place at Oporto, in which Don Pedro lost his life.
Great anxiety prevails for the arrival of the Dutch
,teatner, which no doubt will bring the King of 110 land's
speech, but her arrival is not expected until this evening,
as she was not to leave until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and the tide at present is against her. We have no political
news to be depended upon up to the preent time.
Consols, which were rather heavy in the early part of
the morning, at 84 to k for the account, have rather im-
proved, owing to a purchase of 6 4,Q00/. fur money, and

Mr. GOULD, a gentleman whose vocal ability
