THE FUNDS.

As yet we have not seen any letters brought by the Stag
frigate, which arrived at Plymouth from Oporto, which,
we understand, she left on the 22r1 ult. According to the
information she brings, Don Pedro's situation was much
the same as on the previous arrival.

Consols opened this morning at the same price they left
off at yesterday—S4s for account ; but there is nothing
doing as yet.
An express has arrived from Paris this morning, bring-
ing the Five per Cents., 9Sf. 90c. ; Loan, 100 f. ; Four
per Cents. 521. 50c. ; Three per Cents• 681. 95c. ; Spa-
nish, 121; Belgian Loan, 774 -I. We do not hear that
the papers bring any news t,f importance.
A Dutch mail has arrived, which brings the Dutch
Funds —'j per cent. higher. The cholera at Amsterdam
makes great havoc ; there are 50 new cases daily, with
several deaths.

We bear that two passengers have come by the Stag
frigate from Oporto, who state, that Don Pedro is in great
need of reinforcements, as the Miguelites are being rein-
forced daily, and great fear is still entertained for the final
success of the Constitutional cause.
FIALF-PAST ONE.

As yet we have not seen any private letters from
Oporto. We have two different reports ; the one states
that Don Miguel's troops have re-crossed the Douro, and
that none of his troops are on the north side. The other
account says that the Miguelites remain in the same posi-
tion as before, blockading Oporto. Two of the Migue-
lites, taken prisoners, had in their pockets certificates from
the priests, which stated, that if they fought and died in
the cause of Don Miguel, they would surely go to Heaven.
This is a proof of the power of the priests in that country.
We have just seen a letter from a person who was on
shore previous to the Stag frigate sailing for Oporto, which
states that Oporto was still surrounded on all sides, and
that none of Don Miguel's troops had deserted. Sarto-
rius's squadron was reinforced by two ships previous to
her sailing for Lisbon. He also states that Don Miguel's
Admiral manceuvered well. On the day before the Stag
sailed a cannonade was heard, by which it is supposed
that some action took place near the fortifications of
Oporto.

We hear that the French Papers received this morning
state, that the Queen of Belgium had a narrow escape; her
horse ran away with her, but was stopped in time to pre-
vent her receiving any injury.

LISTS OF VOTERS.—To-morrow, being the
first Sunday in September, is the day appointed by the
KING in Council for the Overseers throughout England
and Wales to post the list of voters on all the church and
ehapel doors within their respective townships in the pre-
sent year. The Overseers in all new boroughs, and the
Overseers and Clerks of the Peace in the old boroughs, are
also to post the list of voters within the respective boroughs
at the same time; and any person is at liberty to examine
the said lists an application to the Overseers, &c., at I
reasonable hour of the first 14 days after the end of the
present month ; that is to say, from Saturday (this)

RIO DE JANEIRO.-The Diario, of the 19th and 20th
of June, contain the conclusion of the correspondence be-
tween M. Pontois, the French Charge d'Affaires, and
Sr. Carneiro dos Campos, Minister of Foreign Affairs, re-
lative to the statement of the latter in his report to the
National Assembly that M. Pontois had proposed the re-
newal of the treaties between France and Brazil, which
he declares that he had not done either verbally or in
writing. The Minister, in reply, says, that the whole
s Tins to be a question of words, which the dictionaries
will best decide, and he refers accordingly to the Portuguese
and French dictionaries for the meaning of the word
demands used by M. Pontois, and that of proposifT3
employed by himself, to show that he was not wrong in
translating the former by the latter. M. Pontois will not
assent to this, because, he says, he bas ni propose, ni de-
mande, verbally or in writing, the renewal of the articlees
in question, of which, says he, the public may judge if
his Excellency chooses to publish the correspondence.
This the Minister has accordingly done.—Diario do
Governo from the 19th to the 23d of June.

MEDITERRANEAN PACKETS.—By a recent
regulation the Mediterranean steam-packets will in future
take mails to and from the following ports on their out-
ward and homeward voyage, viz. Cadiz, Gibraltar, Malta,
Zante, Patras, and Corfu, and thence return in the same
rotation. The voyage out and home is calculated at 55
days. The mails are made up in London the first Wednes-
day after the first day of every month, and letters must be
put in at the chief offices in St. Martin's•le-Grand, Lom-
bard-street, Charing-cross, and Vere-street, before four
o'clock, and the postage paid thereon.
ADVICE TO WlVES.—Always wear your
wedding ring, for therein lies more virtue than is usually
imagined. If you are ruffled unawares, assaulted with
improper thoughts, or tempted in any kind against your
duty, cast your eyes upon it, and call to mind who gave
it to you, where it was received, and what passed at that
solemn time.

One of those rare and, in the eye of the
ancient Egyptians, sacred birds, the stork, was killed last
week in the neighbourhood of Ethie House, and is now to
be seen in Mr. MoLusoN's museum, Bridge-street. Thy'
stork is now seldom seen in Britain. We are not aware
that one has been killed in this country since 1766.—
