THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCIr:
Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 31st May, and Canton to the
24th March, have been received at the North and South Americo
Coffee-house.

(From the Canton Papers.)
The local Government will soon find it impossible to conduct
tll
foreign trade through official merchants only, and the amount o
duties will decrease so rapidly, that new and liberal regulatioao
must soon be enacted in order to protect the revenue. We Pa!:
lish a translation of a wordy edict issued from the Hoppo-office
" All foreign ships, including the country ships of India, are '-
be now secured with the same securities as were formerly those be.
longing to the East India Company."
COMMERCIAL REMARKS.
COTTON.-Several small parcels of Bombay and Bengal have been
sold in the course of the week ; but the market is very inactive.
Cotton yarn and white piece goods preserve a good demand.
Ortu3l.—The continued interference of the Mandarins has se
riously checked the trade. The departure of the Water Witch
Red Rover, and the non-arrival of the Sylph, have induced t":
holders to be a little more firm. Patna has been sold at 570 de,:
lars, and Benares at 550 per chest. The deliveries to the 22d lest'
have been—Patna, Old, 146 ; New, 218 ; Benares., Old, 8; i`e"
3 ; Malwa, 436,811 chests. The trade in general' is very dull.

NEWSPAPER TA XA TlO N.—Newspapers scarce 2
ever sink from want of capital, but always from the inesti;
bility of making the capital pay, because they are all, exeeP-of
fortunate few, deprived of their natural aliment, the profits 0
advertising-. Let us begin by taking off the advertisenter
duty. This would destroy the only real monopoly COto
nected with the Press, benefit trade, afford subsistence,,
the papers which do not pay, enable new ones to support thei;o
selves—and it would occasion a sacrifice of no more than
73,0001. per annum, the present produce of the tax.—Sonts":"-ch
It is said to have been a saying of George the Ibidirbo
that the happiest condition in which an Englishman eetlfor
placed, was just below that wherein it would be necessarko
for him to act as a Justice of Peace, and above that ."
would have rendered him liable to parochial offices.
A scene of rather a novel nature took place at -.with
ton Church on Monday. A party arrived in two coaches rtly
bridal favours at the church-door—the bride was siraclue
'
dressed, and the bridegroom, a jolly son of Neptune, in hot
trim ; the minister, the clerk, the sexton, all were reaOr:redt
just before the ceremony was to commence, a friend aPP- 00,
with the certificate of a former marriage of the bride
whose wife was living, and not willing to renounce her lds,
The consequence was, that the bride, her mother, and frievA.
immediately left the church ; the bridegroom soon follocirbrel
and the circumstance having become known, a crowd asseni • s
round the house of the bride's mother, a number of idle otor te
were invented, and a fine tale got up for the street-hay/I°i rt
" of the disappointment of a jolly young sailor and his
love."—Bristol Gazette.
A man of the name of Smyth cut his throat wirtells
a slate or sharp (stone, near Omagh, Ireland, and afterwth
tore out his windpipe. After being removed to the go'
died. Coroner's inquest accordingly.
