THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.
A mail is arrived from Halifax, sailed on the 30th of
September ; also one from Lisbon of an old date. Halifax
papers to the 30th of September, St. John's, New Bruns-
wick, to the 23d of September, and Prince Edward Island,
to the 18th of September, have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house.

The llalifax papers state that Sir Perigrai❑ Maitl Intl
was expected to sail for England in a few days. The New
Brunswick papers state that the Board of Health has re-
ceived the most gratifyina accounts from all parts of the
country respecting the health of the inhabitants, who are
entirely free from any contageous disease.
By the French mail this morning it is stated from Douai
that a magnificent park of artillery is assembled there, con-
sisting of eighty pieces of new cannon, part of which are to
be sent by water tollelgium, and the remainder to be drawn
by their train.
The French army which was assembling on the fron-
tiers of Spain, has been ordered back again to its respec-
tive garrisons.
Accounts from Bayonne state that the King of Spain
made his solemn entry into Madrid on the 18th in t. He
was received with the greatest acclamations of the inha-
bitants.

Ac,'ounts from Antwerp state that the greatest activity
is displayed in tie citadel, and the Dutch are busy in
forming covered ways from one bastion to the other, all
round the citadel. It is also positively said that a large
contract has been entered 'nto at Antwerp, to supply the
French army, which is daily expected there.

THE FUNDS.

The Dutch affair is at length drawing to a crisis : An-
twerp, and nothing but the surrender of that citadel, will
put an end to a war with Holland. In the course of
Wednesday or Thursday we may expect the answer of the
King of Holland to that important demand of the Con-
ference. For some days past we have heard much re-
specting protests of Pros-ia and other Powers to prevent
the French entering Belgium; bat now it appears all
this has been but mere invention of the foreign journals,
and no doubt remains that if Holland refuses these last
terms, the whole of the Powers will act in junction with
England and France, and the citadel of Antwerp will be
taken by storm ; but there still remains a hope that the
King of Holland may comply, a•ld avoid so terrible a
slaughter. The estatette from Paris this morning con-
firms the express from Paris on Saturday, which we sup-
plied the public with, of the ratificatiun of the Conven-
tion, and the gnat rise in the French Funds. Consols
opened at 84 to for the Account, owing to a still further
improvement in the French Rentes, at which price they
are at present.

fiALF-PAST ONE.

We can state that this present quarter's revenue is go-
ing on Mgt prosperously ; fully as good as the lust quarter.
The Funds have remained steady during the whole of
the morning, and it is not expected that any speculations
of importance will take place until the answer of his
Dutch Majesty has been received. The City speculators
and jobbers are on the tiptoe, and very anxious to obtain a
hint on this important subject; no doubt a number of
Pigeons will be employed to and the first information
to Paris. Consols 84* to a for the Account.
In the Foreign Market the same prices may be quoted
as on SAturday ; no business doing.

FAME OF SIR WALTER SCOTT ABROAD.

honour of the lamented Sir WALTER SCOTT, will take

Mr. HUME has accepted the invitation of the
Reformers of South Shields, and intends visiting that
town on Friday next, when a public dinner will be given
in the Seaman's Hall, which, it is expected, will be graced
k'Y the presence of every admirer of the truly patriotic
Member for Middlesex, whose energetic exertions to cut
off every useless and unnecessary expenditure of the State
entitle Lim to the full confidence of all true Reformers.
Ali. HOME cannot possibly visit any other town in the
north, at this time, as business compels him to return to
London on the following day. We understand Mr. IlumE
intends to sleep in Durham on Thursday night.—Durham
Chronicle.

The Pigeon, Lieut. BINNEY, arrived this
forenoon from Halifax. At the time of her sailing, Hali-
.xx was quite healthy, and the cholera had abated at
Quebec, Lieut.-Governor Sir P. MAITLAND and family
Were to sail from Halifax for England a few days after
the packet left. The 'Winchester, commanded by the
Hon. E. TREFUSIS, vice Lord W. PAGET, who is ap-
Pointed to the North Star, was laying at Halifax. The

On Thursday morning the Royal George
tlttamer, having on board about 300 recruits for DON
eltDßop put into this harbour, for coals, &c., and yesterday
rooming the Soho steamer, with about 450 recruits,
anae in. Both Steamers proceeded for Oporto yesterday
afternoon. Some 40 or 50 of the men of the Ronal
9eorge contrived to get on shore, and refused again to
loin her, complaining that they had not been paid the
°aunty money according to agreement. Their disorderly
tOnduct throughout the day occasioned no little stir in to tt.
°`°n, but they were eventually induced to re-embark,
and the men on board both vessels started in high spirits.
