THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

A Halifax mail has arrived this morning by the Brisets,
sailed on the 18th of January, by which conveyance, Halifax
and Prince Edward Island Papers, the former of the 17th of
January, and the latter to the 7th of January, have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. One
French mail, and a Flanders Mail, have arrived, with the express
from Paris.

(From the Halifax Papers.)
Much time has been occupied on the subject of foreign trade
resolutions to the following effect finally passed, and a com-
mittee was appointed to prepare an address to his Majesty, pray-
ing him to direct, that Lunenlkourg, Annopolis, Windsor, Pares-
bourg, North Sydney, Corn wallis,,Digby, Douglas,and Sherburne,
be permitted to participate in the i,oreign trade of the colony-
Foreign vessels be permitted to entc.* their ports, as well 111
those owned by British subjects, according to an expressed
opinion of his Majesty's Government. That 7,1441., now an-
nually granted by the province for the Customs establishment is
a larger proportion than the province ought to contribute,
and is sufficient to extend the advantages of foreign trade to
every part where there is a Customs' Office. That certain
Resolutions passed in 1832 he adhered to. Mat the old
Crown duties passed by the province are appropriated accor-
dingly. That the limitation of free ports as suggested by
the Nova Scotia Council would fetter the industry and enter-
prize of the province ; and that the House gratefully ackt:9o.-
ledge the more liberal views of his Majesty's Government.
Mr. Young moved for a committee to revise the estimate,
and to ascertain what sums might be saved in the different
branches of public expenditure. After much debate, this Was
carried by 22 to 9.

The Prince Edward's Island papers do not contain any news
of consequence. The Legislature of that colony is summoned
to meet for the dispatch of business on the 26th of January.

THE FUNDS.
Consols, as well as the Foreign Securities, continued fia°
until the afternoon of yesterday, when both markets began t°
give way. Consols, which were 92-1 for the Account, re"
ceded to 921- for Money, and for the Account 92ii
. This
decline was attributed to the Bank having sold xchequer
Bills, as well as to a large amount of silver and gold going to
be exported to Spain, to pay the instalments of the new Spa-
nish Loan. This received a kind of confirmation, by the
City Capitalist having sold largely in the British and Foreign
Stocks ; and it was also stated that the Bank Directors Were
about to take measures to prevent bullion going again out 0
the country, by contracting their circulation : but towards th
close of the market a reaction took place, and the various fund
left off with an improvement.
Consols opened this morning at 92k s for the Account;
for Money 921 I. Little business doing as yet.
In the Foreign Market Spanish may be quoted at prescuttat
55H ; Scrip 3-11 premium ; Portuguese 9211 ; Dutch 5511";
Real del Monte shares 381 39.
We have received the 'Journal du Commerce (of Antwerp)
of yesterday, in which no bulletin appears of the health of the
Prince of Orange; therefore we presume that he is entirely re"
covered.
