THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, 7'IVELVE O'CLOCK

Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 12th of February, Sin-
gapore to the 4th of December, and Charleston to the 20th
of March, have been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house.

(From the Cape Papers.)
We are happy to state on good authority that the rumours
respecting the movements of Alasilikortze, a powerful Chief to
the north of this colony, are wholly unfounded.
(From the Paper of Feb. 7.)
The intelligence from the frontier by last post gives us
ground to believe that the enemy has by this time been ex-
pelled from the colony.
. . .

Colonial-office, Feb. 5.

The following intelligence has been received, dated Head-
quarters, Graham Town, Jan. 30, 1835 :—Since the 22d inst.
the organization of a force for active operations beyond the
frontiers is proceeding with all practicable dispatch. Colonel
Somerset, with a detachment under his orders, has completely
scoured the whole of the woody and important district of the
Zurreveld, which is effectually cleared of the savages ; and he
is now pursuing the same process with the districts of Oli-
phant, Hoek, and the Howie. A small detachment, under
Major Cox, has succeeded in bringing in the missionaries, with
their families and effects, and they are now safe within the
colony.

(From the Singapore Papers of Dec. 4.)
AVA.—DREADFUL MUTINY AND MURDERS ON THE YOUNG
ROVER, AND DESTRUCTION OF THE VESSEL :—RANGOON,
OCT. 27, 1834.—The above vessel, belonging to Messrs.
Cockerel' and Co., of Calcutta, which sailed from Moulmein
for Bengal on the 28th Sept., was six days after cut off by a
part of her crew, and the Captain and mate, Mr. Hode, and a
native Christian, passengers, who were shut down in the cabin,
were burnt, with the vessel, when she grounded on a sand-
bank, off the coast of Ava, on the morning of the 9th instant.
A report was current that the Young Rover had been cut off.
The British resident, Colonel Burney, applied to Wongyee to
order these men over, and a few hours after they were deli-
vered to the Wongyee, who was present when they were first
examined. The vessel is said to have had a lac and forty
thousand rupees of specie on board. After some demur and
difficulty, the Wongyee consented to surrender the whole of
these eleven men to the British resident, in order that they may
be sent to Calcutta for trial.

The Charlestown papers are void of the least interest.
THE FUNDS.

The operations in the British funds on Saturday were of a

limited description, and Consols closed rather heavy at 92ii
for the Account, and 92f1 for money, and opened this morn-
ing at 92i'sellers for Account. Exchequer Bills 35 37 ; In-
dia Bonds 18 20; Bank Stock 218.
Nothing has, as yet, transpired, either in an official shape,
or in explanation, respecting the affair of the three bills ac-
cepted by the Treasury and presented to the Bank for pay-
ment, of which various versions were in circulation on Satur-
day on 'Change.
The Foreign market left off buoyant on Saturday, with an
advance of price in most of the securities, but more particularly
in the Dutch funds, owing to a demand for that stock for
French Account.

South American Stocks left off heavy. The following are
Ile opening prices of this morning ; Spanish Stock 71fri ;
Spanish Scrip. loft premium ; Portuguese 991-1.
Our arrivals this morning are—two Calais, two Ostend, and
one Dutch mails, with several arrivals from the East Indies.

tance. Latest prices of the French funds—Five per Cents.,

We have arrivals this morning from Jamaica ten days later
than the packet. The private letters state that all was tran-
quil in this island. We have also later information from
Barbadoes, to the 14th of March ; no news of consequence—
all quiet there. We have very recent accounts from Bengal,
7th of January ; they do not bring any informatien of import-
ance. A vessel has arrived from Valparaiso with a freight of
three hundred thousand dollars for merchants' account.

Consols continue steady, 924 for the Account ; Exche-
quer Bills, 35-36 ; India Bonds, 17-19.
In the Foreign Market a good deal of business is doing in
most kinds of the Peninsular Funds, which are heavy at pre-
sent, particularly the Differs, which have receded 2 to 3 per
cent. this morning, owing to various reports in circulation of
the intervention of the French in Spain ; also of the success
of the Carlists.
South American Securities continue sickly, and are receding
in their prices. The following are the quotations at present :
Spanish Bonds, 71 ; Spanish Scrip, 10i prem. ; Portuguese,

master. Mr. George, a profound •athematician and classical
scholar, was Fox Maule's private Uhl. During the vacation

ally, that old and steady friend of his father, the late James
Perry, Esq.

The election of a Member for the city of Edin-
burgh, will take place on the 30th inst., and on the 2d of

TOTNESS, FRIDAY.—Lord Seymour, one of the
new Lords of the Treasury, was re-elected for this borough
to-day. He was unoppoed.
PENRYN AND FALMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Mr.
Rolfe, the new Solicitor-General, has arrived here to solicit a
renewal of the suffrages of the electors. Lord Tullamore de-
clines to oppose Mr. Rolfe, and though there is some talk of
bringing Lord Boscawen forward, it is expected Mr. Rolfe
Rill be returned without a contest.—Plymouth ChroniCle.

On Friday, a county meeting was held at the
Archery Rooms, Southampton, for the purpose of establishing
a Conservative Association for South Hants. It was not nu-
merously attentled.

The General Steam Navigation Company's mail
packet the Ramona, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-

The General Steam Navigation Company's mail
packet the John Bull, from Hamburg, arrived off the Custom-
house at 12 o'clock to-day, having made a splendid passage in

•
Antwerp.
On Tuesday night a meeting of electors was held,
at which it was resolved to support Colonel Leith Hay, and
that it was unnecessary for him to leave London on the present
occasion.—Aberdeen Observer.

It is intended that Chaplains in future admitted into
the Navy, shall qualify themselves to teach the young gentle-
men, in their respective ships, such a course of mathematics
as is requisite to further tleir knowledge of navigation. Chap-
lains, at present, are allowed to act as schoolmasters, but they
generally avoid it ; the intention is, therefore, to impose on
them this useful and necessary duty.—Hants Telegraph.

At the sale of the little pavilio❑ or summer-house
which the Duchess of Berri erected at Blaye, and from which
she was accustomed to look with longing e 3 es at the sea,
there were no amateurs for this relic, and it was knocked
down to an inhabitant of Blaye for the paltry sum of 300
francs. We should have thought that some wealthy Carlist
would have purchased it at ten times the amount, as a me-
mento of his patroness.—Bordeaux paper.
TIIE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S HORSES.—The
high-bred cattle lately purchased by his Imperial Majesty's
trainer are all on board, waiting for intelligence from Cron-
stadt of the breaking up of the ice in the Baltic.

TIIE Yesterday the weather was very
wintry, much resembling a day in December. In the fore-
noon, and as the day advanced, there were several heavy hail
showers, accompanied by a piercing north-west wind. The
thermometer, when compared with its altitude the previous
day, fell about eight degrees. Vegetation, which had made
considerable progress, has received a severe check.
A cow belonging to Mr. Jeremiah Barrass, of Col-
liery-row, near Rainton, calved three calves, two of which
were dead. The cow is likely to do well.
On Tuesday morning the body of James Brown, a
shoemaker belonging to Newcastle, was found in a deep pool
of water, near Renoldson's Mill. It appears that he had been
returning trom a " hopping," when he met with his untimely
end. He has left a wife and two children to lament his loss.

Some of our contemporaries have been speculating
as to the probability of Lord Brougham being appointed the
Speaker of the House of Lords, whilst others have posi-
tively announced his appointment. It will be found, how-
ever, that according to all the precedents applicable to such
a case as the present, this high honour devolves on Lord
Denman, the Lord Chief Justice of England.
VIENNA, APRIL 15.—Three ships have arrived at
Trieste, in twenty days from Alexandria, and have brought
letters which express the greatest alarm respecting the frightful
increase of the plague not only in Alexandria, but in all parts
of Egypt. At Alexandria the number of deaths was from 200
to 250 daily. The greater part of the ships which were to
take cargoes of cotton had hastily left the port witho'ut waiting
for their cargoes ; of the three ships that have arrived at Tri-
este two are empty; the third, which had previously taken a
cargo of cotton on board, was immediately ordered from Tri-
este to Venice, where it will have to perform some months'
quarantine.
