THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Halifax papers have been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house to the 2d December. They bring the opening
of the Provincial Legislature. His Excellency Sir Colin Campbell,
attended by his suite, came down to the Council Chamber, and
opened the session with a speech. The following is the sub-
stance :—That his Majesty was graciously pleased to appoint him
to the civil government of that province (which afforded him great
pleasure in meeting the Assembly,) whrch he would conduct impar-
tially and upon constitutional principles, promoting such meastw
as were conducive to the prosperity and happiness of the people ;
stating that he has taken the earliest opportunity to express
the regret which his Majesty has felt that the offers made
to the House of Assembly at the commencement of the last
session, respecting the surrender of the revenue belonging to
the Crown, had not been more favourably received ; and he had
in consequence received his Majesty's commands not to repeat the
offer of surrendering the casual and territorial revenues in exchange
for a permanent civil list; that no other resource within the Pro-
vince was available to his Majesty, except the quit-rent; which
were reserved to the Crown in the grant under which the proprie-
tors of land held their respective titles; but all proposals for that
purpose have failed, and the effect has been to deprive his Majesty,
during the period while they remained under discussion ; of the re-
venue due to the Crown, that his Majesty has now no choice left
but to direct the quit rents to be collected, and it was not without
much reluctance that his Majesty has recourse to the measure • but
he has the satisfaction to acquaint the Assembly that he is still au-
thorised to abstain from levying the quit rents, should the assembly
make, in lieu of them, a permanent grant to the Crown of 2,000 L
sterling per annum.

Consols, which left off yesterday 92%* for the Account, opened

agitation which prevailed on the arrival of the President's speech
has now subsided, and no war between France and America is ex-
pected to take place.

BERLIN, JAN. 2.—Prince Witham, son of his Ma-
jesty, has long expressed a wish to undertake a journey to Eng-
land, in order to view the manufactories. It is not improbable
:hat his wish may be granted.
BERNE, JAN. 3.—On the last day of the ear of
grace 1834, about half-past four in the afternoon, they
Prince
of Castelcicala suddenly quitted Berne, escaping in a sur.. prising manner from the Maison de Vile. The Prince, it is
thought by the public, was urged to this step to avoid the
pursuit of Madlle o_, an importunate creditor of his High.
ness. At her instance a decree was obtained to attach the
property of the Prince, as a security for the payment of
20,000 fr., but nothing moveable was found in his Highness's
abode but 500 empty bottles. It is presumed that he has set
out for the Court of St. Petersburg, to which he has been ap-
pointed Minister from the King of Naples for some time. The
wicked pretend that his Highness was detained here by the
bonds of a clandestine marriage, which he had contracted with
a ci-devant young person, whom he would have preferred to
the Duchess of Berry, though her blood was not so illustrious.
As a judicial proceeding on the part of Berne against a DA-
plematic Prince, cannot be looked upon otherwise than -43 a
grave offence, an energetic note on the subject is expectrea, de.
manding satisfaction.—Heketie.

URDER OF A NEW-BORN Clium.---An inquest
was holden at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, St. Pan—
cras, on the body of a new-born male child, found in the sink
of the pump in Euston-square, wrapped up in a piece of blue
silk shawl. The navel string was torn. There was no evidence
to show how the deceased, which was discovered about nine
o'clock on Saturday night, came there. As, in the opinion of
Mr. Langford, the parish surgeon, the deceased was born alive.
the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Muyder against some
person or persons unknown."
