New York Papers to the 15th, Montreal Papers to
the 7th, and Quebec Papers to the sth ult. have been
received this morning via Liverpool. The New York
Journals state that the majority of the House of Re-
presentatives, led on by Mr. ADAMS, have most unex-
pectedly declared themselves favourable to the hostile
views of the PRESIDENT, with respect to the indem-
nification of the claims made by America on the Go-
vernment of France. The Montreal Journals state that
the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada have agreed

to address Sir J. COLBOURNE, praying his Excellency to
lay before them copies of all correspondence between the
Home Government and the Executive, relative to the
removal of the late law officers of the Crown. In the
Quebec paper we find the copy of a dispatch from the
Duke of WELLINGTON, dated the Ist of December,
stating that the application made by the Colonists to
the record Commissions had been granted, and that in
future copies of all such documents would be regularly
transmitted to each of the North American Colonies
subject to Great Britain.

From an Abstract of the Navy Estimates for the
current financial year, which is given in another
column, it will be seen that there is a saving for the
present year, compared with that immediately pre-
ceding, of about 333,000/ in round numbers. The
diminution is chiefly in the victualling, the naval
stores, the medical and the miscellaneous services, to-
gether with the wages of seamen. A saving of about
11,0001. has likewise been effected in the Civil Pen-
sions, and other allowances. So far so good.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The strong impression which prevailed in the City during
the whole of yesterday that Ministers would be in the minority,
on the motion of the Marquis of Chandos for the repeal of the
Malt Tax, had the effect to depress the funds, which closed
heavy.

Consols left off at 914 for the Account, and 914- .8- for
Money. This morning the Market continues in the same
state—Consols opened at 911 4 for the Account, and 91i
for Money.
The Foreign Market also left off lower yesterday in the
various prices, and this morning there is again an appearance
of a decline. Spanish Stock, 591- i; Spanish Scrip, 68 a
premium ; Portuguese, 92+
The French mail and the express from Paris have not as
yet arrived ; consequently we are very dull this morning, for
%sant of Continental information.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Consols have continued during the morning heavy at 91H
for the Account, with little doing, and for money 91i. The
speculators are waiting the event of the two important mo-
tions to be brought forward during next week in the House
of Commons, by the Marquis of Chandos and Mr. Hume.
In the foreign market the Securities are not so buoyant as
they had been during the last week, and have receded to—
Belgian, 1021 ; Brazilian, 841 ; Columbian, 371 ; Danish,
78 ; Spanish, 592 ; Spanish Scrip, 6R. 2 Premium ; Dutch,
24 561 ; Exchequer Bills, 36 ; Indian Bonds, 20.

HER MAJESTY'S MUNIFICENCE.—Another in-
stance of the munificence of her Most Gracious Majesty oc-
curred on Monday night. So highly pleased were the Royal
party at the magnificent display of scenery and dancinc, in
King Arthur that her Majesty commanded the sum of FOOL
to be distributed among the performers in that piece.
Sir Robert Peel will have a Parliamentary dinner
to-day.

The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland have
been in town nearly three weeks, but they have not hitherto
given any grand parties. As the season advances, and the
weather becomes more mild and genial, they will resume their
weekly excursions to Sion House, where they usually remain
from Saturday until Monday.—Court Journal.
Sir Robert Peel, after having accompanied Lady
Peel to the Court at St. James's Palace on the Queen's
birth-day, changed his dress and perambulated Pall-mall and
St. James's-street, with his lovely daughter, to witness the
splendid equipages displayed on the occasion, with which the
young lady seemed to be highly delighted.—Court Journal.
The grand party of the Duchess of Kent takes
place this day at Kensington-palace, to which several dintin-
guished members of each political party have been inuited.
Every admirer of true talent, and friend of the
University, will be rejoiced to hear that Sir Robert Peel has
communicated to Professor Airy his Majesty's intention of al-
lowing him an annuity of 3001. in consideration of the eminent
services which he has rendered to the cause of general science.
—Cambridge Chronicle.
The present venerable Bishop of Norwich was the
last Bishop recommended to be elevated to the mitre by the
late Mr. Pitt. The worthy Prelate has, on all occasions, sup-
ported the popular interest, and has been an unflinching pa-
triot; and though in his 91st year, he retains all his faculties
and a sound judgment.

On Saturday, soon after noon, Earl Spencer passed
through Nottingham, on his way to London ; considerable
interest was excited, from the supposition that he had been
" sent for," which was strengthened by the fact that in the
previous night a messenger travelling in the eirection of
Wiseton, had passed through the town.—Nottingham Review.
LORD ERSKINE AND DR. PARR.—These two
worthies were considered, even by their personal friends, to be
the vainest men of the age. The Doctor once said to the Ex-
Chancellor in one of their social meetings, " Erskine, I mean
to write your epitaph when you die." Lord Erskine replied,
" Doctor, it is almost a temptation to commit suicide."

It has been the occasion of surprise to many, that
Switzerland, the most romantic country in Europe, has never
produced a poet. They imagine that the scenery should gene-
rate poetry in the minds of the inhabitants ; but this is con-
founding the cause with the effect. It is not the scenery which
makes the poet, but the mind of the poet which makes poetry
of the scenery. Holland, perhaps the tamest district in the
world, has produced some good poets, and our own immortal
Milton was born and brought up amid the smokr of London..
Spencer, the most fanciful of poets, was also a Cockney.
The newly-created Viscount Canterbury and Baron
Bottesford is in his 55th year, and by his first marriage with
Miss Denison, of the family of Denison, county of Notting-
ham, has two sons and one daughter, the lady of Mr. San-
derson, M.P. for Colchester ; and by his union with his
present lady, Viscountess Canterbury, sister to the Coun-
tess of Blessington, has one daughter and one son, Lieut.
Home Purvis, who is doing duty with the Grenadier Guards
in Dublin.

THE EAGLE AT RAVENSWORTIL—We recorded
a few weeks ago the fact that a very large eagle had taken up
his abode in the woods near Ravensworth Castle. The
monarch of the air has since evinced no disposition to change
his quarters, being fed by entrails, and other offals of animals,
placed in the woods for that purpose, and, so far as can be as-
certained, has not hitherto destroyed any of the game with
which the woods abound. The eagle is supposed to have
escaped from some confinement.
A recent fracas on board a frigate commanded by a
Noble Lord, and at present in the Mediterranean, has fur-
nished the general topic for conversation at the Clubs for the
last two or three days. The Noble Lord commanding the
vessel in question sent a message to a young gentleman to
whom a passage had been given in his Lordship's ship, de-
siring his immediate attendance ; but the young gentleman,
being engaged at the time he received the order, in a game
of chess, did not attend the summons until he had finished
his game. The Noble Lord, indignant at this breach of dis-
cipline on board his vessel, ordered his passenger to the main-
top, as a punishment, which order was for a long time re-
sisted ; finally, however, Mr. D— was compelled to ascend
to his perilous quarters. On arriving at the first port, satis-
faction was demanded ; but the matter was, we believe, ar-
ranged by the intervention of mutual friends. —/1/67 ning Paper.
There is now no question respecting the resignation
of the Duke of Wellington. We stated yesterday that he had
tendered his resignation on Saturday last, which resignation,
however, was not accepted. We are now informed, but we do
not vouch for the fact, that the resignation has been accepted ;
but whether it has, or whether it has not, there is nothing
more certain than that the Duke is most anxious to retire,
and that if he has not already embraced the opportunity of
doing so, he will not be long in bidding adieu to
the Foreign Office. It is indeed high time that he
should do so. The scenes through which he has passed,
and the victories which he has fairly won, are surely
enough to gratify the most insatiable ambition ; while the age
at which he has now arrived, ought to induce him to think
more of " what is to come," than of what is now doing. We
sincerely wish his Grace long life and happiness ; but we also
wish, with equal sincerity, that his civil life should be equally
glorious with his military, and that the laurels which he
ho-
nourably earned in the latter should go down to the grave with
him untarnished by any addition to the defeat which he sus-
tained, four years ago, in the former.—Morning Advertiser.
ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.—On Friday the
27th ult., the daughter of a farmer in Closeburn, who
stands second to noue in point of respectability, made off
with one of the farm servants for " Marjory o' the
molly Lochs, of hymeneal notoriety. The young man had
had been dismissed her father's service, it is believed,
for tarrying rather late at Thornhill Fair on Tues-
day last. Before leaving the house, however, he had
contrived to convey to his sweetheart the key of his
hist, into which she transferred her wardrobe, so that
when he sent for his clothes, her's came along with
them. Symptoms having aroused suspicion, the young lady's
brother and a neighbour was immediately equipped and on the
tract after the fugitive; but love lubricated the wheels of the
chariot, and goaded on the mettled steeds, so that before the
pursuers reached Lochmaben, the pursued had become " one
flesh." The husband may boast of having the youngest better-
half in broad Scotland, as she is only thirteen ; at least she j
wants some months to complete her fourteen year. Thelyoung
"gudeman'j is above thirty.—Dunfries Times.
