THE FUNDS.

At length the Post-office has given notice that a mail
will be made up for Oporto and Lisbon every Tuesday
until further notice. This arrangement will be a great
accommodation to the merchants, and by which convey-
ance we shall receive more frequent information from the
seat c f war. We are exceedingly slack of arrivals and
news from all quarters this morning.
Consols opened at the price they left off at yesterday, 841-
to 85, at which price they continue, with nothing doing
as yet.

HALF-PAST ONE.

In the abseace of official information from the theatre
of war in Portugal, we are eager to glean from our va-
rious sources of information every thing that is going for-
ward on the part of the contending partite, and we under-
stand that an agent of Don Pedro has left for the conti-
nent, to contract for a number of foreign troops, who
have already served in various wars, and if he succeeds,
no doubt they will be conveyed in steamers and other fast-
sailing vessels to Oporto. We also hear that there is going
to be a purchase of another large vessel.
We have been favoured with a perusal of a letter from

the triumph of Reform was celebrated yesterday, by a
Public dinner given by a large body of the electors and
