THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
Singapore Papers to the 26th of September, and New Brunswick
to the 18th of January, have been received at the North and South
American Coffee House.
During the week Calcutta Papers to the 22d of August, Madras
to the 3d Aug., and Penang to the 13th Aug., came to hand. As
far as we have looked over them, there appears to be little informa-
tion likely to interest our readers.
COMMERCIAL REMARKS.
OPIUM.—The arrivals of the week have added to our stock 105
chests, which have again caused a decline in the Drug to Ds. 520
to 525, cash, and 560 to 565, 2 months credit.
INDIA PIECE Goons.—Two vessels have arrived at Madras with
about 216 bales of various Madras piece goods. The demand for
them, as well as Bengal goods, is improving. Tonnage for London
wanted, there being no vessel at present in the berth.
The New Brunswick papers are entirely void of interest.
By the express from Paris we have received the Memorial of
Bordeaux, which contains the following :—" They write us from
Madrid, by an extraordinary Courier who is on his road to Paris,
that all was tranquil in the above capital. Valdez has been ap-
pointed Minister of War, and has accepted the portefeuille. His
appointment has been much approved of.
The Journal du Commerce of Antwerp, of the 25th February,
brings the Dutch Funds 21- per cent, 55 15-16.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 91i ft for the April Account,
opened this morning at 91a .4. and 914 for money.
The public is very anxious to ascertain the division in the House
of Commons on the Address, which is expected to take place in the
course of the night.

Both Markets have a firm appearance at present.
This is pay-day for the settlement of the Consol Account of yes-
terday, and it is expected that the drafts will be honoured.
HALF-PAST ONE.
The British Market, as well as the Foreign, continues buoyant,
and Consols reached, at one period of the morning, 913% for
the April Account, and 9151, for Money. This improvement is
still owing to the prevailing opinion that Ministers will succeed in
carrying the address to his Majesty. Consols at present are 913%,
sellers for the Account, and 911/4 for Money.
We have no further arrivals at present. Exchequer Bills, 36 37 ;

DEPUTATION TO SIR ROBERT PEEL ON THE
SUBJECT OF THE WINDOW TAX, FEB. 25, IB3s.—This day, at
one o'clock, a most respectable and numerous deputation of
the householders of the nine parishes of Westminster waited
on Sir Robert Peel, agreeably to appointment by the Right
Hon. Baronet, for the purpose of communicating to him their
sentiments on the subject of the window tax. Several of the
gentlemen pointed out the oppressiveness of the impost; and
showed on the reverse how beneficially the repeal of it would
operate, and expressed a hope the right hon. gentleman would
promise them relief ; but he repeated he could make no pro-
mises upon the subject. The deputation then withdrew.
Lord Durham was in the House of Lords on Tues-
day, during the whole of the debate. He sat immediately
behind Lord Brougham,—The Earl of Radnor, who sustained
so serious an injury by the fall of his horse while hunting, was
also in the llouse.
The Right Hon. Edward Ellice is expected to arrive
, in town about Tuesday or Wednesday next, from Italy, where
he has been residing during the winter.
By the demise of the Earl of Scarborough a vacancy
occurs in the Northern Division of Nottinghamshire. The
present Member, Lord Lumley, being called to the Upper
House. His Lordship left his residence in Dorset-square ex-
press on Monday night for Sandbach Park in Yorkshire, in
consequence of this melancholy event. The late Earl was in
his 75th year, and a Prebendary of York, and succeeded his
brother, Richard, the fifth Earl, June, 1832. The late Earl
besides his heir apparent, has left three daughters, one o
whom Lady Harriet, is the relict of the Rev. Frederick Man
ners Sutton.
