:IE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CL 0 Clf.
Owing to the stormy weather for these three days past,
we have no fresh arrivals this morning from the theatre of
war, or any other parts. The publication of the bulletin
of the Marquis of Palmella, of the attack and defeat of Don.
Miguel's troops on Oporto, has revived the drooping spirits
of the Constitutionalists, who have now every confidence
that Oporto will remain in the possession of Don Pedro.
Consols are very languid, and opened at the same price
they left off at yesterday, 844 for the Account, and 844
Bi:hers for next time.

We have neither reports nor political news.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing ; they are
waiting the arrival of the French mail.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Up to the present time we are still without any fresh
arrivals—but we are again assured by the well-in,ormed,
that the affairs of Holland and Belgium have taken a fa-
vourable turn, and are expected to be settled without go-
ing to hostilities.

Consols have continued during the whole of the morn-
ing at 841 2- for the Account, with little or nothing doing.
The Foreign Market in the same state of inaction.
Portuguese Scrip, 5 discount.

The injury sustained by New York from the
cholera may he inferred from the foreign arrivals and
clearances. From the 27th June to the 6th September,
1832, the arrivals were 247 vessels. During the same
period in 1831, the arrivals Were 396. The clear-
ances were, in 1832, 259 vessels. Fur the same period,
in 1831, 395 vessels.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN LOCK.-011 the
15th of September, Captain Locx, the distinguished ama-
teur artist, was drowned in the Lake of Como. Captain
LOCK, who was in his 29th year, was son of WILLIAM
LOCK, Esq., of Nurbury Park, by a daughter of the late
Duchess of LEINSTER and W. OGILVIE, Esq., and was
alike remarkable for his amiable disposition and the beauty
of his person, which is immortalized by the pencil of
LAWRENCE. lie was the orieinal of the beautiful picture
" The Boy and Dog," engraved in the Cameo Annual.
About three years ago, Captain LOCK married Miss SELINA
Tom.Estacuz, daughter to Admiraland Lady ELIz. TOLLE-
MACRE, by whom he his left an infant daughter. Captain
Loci( and his lady had passed the summer with his pa-
rents, at a villa on the border of the Lake of Como, and it is
stated that his fondly-attached wife was in a balcony, look-
ing at her husband in a pleasure-boat on the lake, when a
sudden gust of wind sunk the boat, and swept him from
her sight for ever.

FINE ARTS.

ILLUSTRATIONS TO THE KEEPSAKE
FOR 1833. LONDON. 1833.

The frontispiece to these illustrations, which
is a likeness of his present Majesty, so closely
resembles an embossed engraving, that it is ne-
cessary to pass one's hand over the surface to assure
ourselves of the deception. Among the illustrative
engravings, " Ehrenbreitsein" is remarkable
for the exquisite delicacy of its finish ; a world
of pains has been expended on it, of which the
splendid landscape itself is well worthy. The
picture teems with life, and is full of materiel.
Juliet" deserves praise, but the engraving is
a cleverer performance than the original painting
by Liversege. Juliet's veil, which flows down
her as she kneels before the Friar, looks
exactly as if it were a shower-bath in full
play on her head. The Friar's counte-
nance wears a fine, lofty, devotional expression.
" Marius among the ruins of Carthage," is
worthily engraved by Wallis, from one of Mar-
tin's splendid but monotonous engravings. Car-
thage itself is but an adumbration of Babylon,
with the broad Euphrates flowing through it.
" Flora Maclvor" is a lank, scraggy, formidable
looking figure, the very antipodes of romance.
She reminds us of a dry lean spinster, of
a vinegar aspect, who in the course of years
will degenerate into a skin-flint. But for this
the painter, not the engraver, is to blame.
" The Adieu " is a graceful female portrait, full
of gentleness and affection, with a soft smile
nestling in the angles of the mouth, and an
archness in the expression of the eye, that lend
irresistible fascination to the countenance. The
remainder of the engravings are of the average
order of excellence.

ILLUSTRATIONS TO THE PICTU.
RESQUE ANNUAL FOR 1833.

The publication of the Annuals are this year,
we believe, announced earlier than usual. The
usual period of their forthcoming is November,
whose glooms and proverbial dullness they are
intended, we suppose, to counteract. An An-
nual in spring, when there are so many and such
various calls upon one's attention—when the
world is an out-of-doors world, and town over-
flows with exhibitions of the Fine Arts,
would have but a sorry chance of success; but
an Annual in autumn, more especially in No-
vember, when we require all the resources of
art to console us for the departure of spring and
summer, is really and truly a God-send. The il-
lustrations to the " Picturesque Annual," which
are just now lying before us, will pass away an
evening hour by the fire-side very pleasantly.
They are not less than twenty-six in number, and
abound in elegant variety. In point of excel-
lence, however—whose sphere in an engraving is
necessarily confined—one so much resembles
another, that it is scarcely possible to
enter into very detailed criticism. There is
a great monotony of character in all our Annual
Engravings, and, upon Tom Moore's principle,
that " spring would be but gloomy weather, if we
had nothing else but spring," it is really almost
a relief to meet with a villainously bad one. But
Mr. Heath has debarred us this enjoyment, for
his " Picturesque Annual" contains not one in•
different engraving. Those by Wallis are ca-
pital, who, in the light and graceful disposition
of his clouds, almost rivals our favourite Finden.
Mr. Heath himself, too, has furnished us
with some choice specimens of the art.
The view of " Heydelburg " has a fine air of
repose and quiet about it. The broad stream
flows lazily beside the town, the very emblem
of contented indolence, and the distant moun-
tains have an air of perfect silence and tranquil-
lity, as if there were scarce wind enough to stir
the flower of the heath-broom with which its sides
are enamelled. " Nonnenwert "is delightful
as a landscape, but somewhat stiff and formal as
an engraving. " Mill near the Hague" is admi-
rable,—the old Dutch mill itself forms a most
spirited and prominent object, and the entire
picture reminds us of one of Morland's homely
scenes. The landscape has quite an English
look about it, in the style of its rusticity. If
the literary portion of this Annual be equal to
the pictorial, it will be quite superior to the best
of its predecessors.

THE PROVOST OF EDINBURGH'S

ADDRESS.

A great noise has been made by the London Whig and
Radical journals—by the Times, the Globe, the Sun,
the Examiner, the Spectator, &c. &c. &c.—about the
Address delivered by the Lord Provost on the departure of
the King of France. One paper calls the author of the
Address a slave—another calls him a jool—a third calls
him a have—and the Examiner, we perceive. calls the
document itself " a haggis of adulation !" Now, we
never concealed the fact, that we perfectly concurred in
the sentiments of the Lord Provost's Address, and we are
willing to take all the had names which have been flung at
both it and its author by the liberal newspapers. But in
case of mistakes, we beg leave to state that the Post had
nothing to do with the concocting of the much-abused
" haggis of adulation." We neither wrote it ourselves,
nor assisted in composing it—the authorship of the
4 4 haggis of adulation" is indeed an honour that we
dream not of. In these circumstances, it is perhaps fair
that the saddle should be put on the right horse; and it
gives us great pleasure to state, from good authority, that
the Address in question was written solely and exclusively
by the editor of the Caledonian Mercury/ To our bro-
ther, therefore, rightfully belongs the credit of this won-
derful affair, and to him, consequently, belong the epithets
so liberally thrown out by his friends of the liberal press;
he is " the fool," " the ass," " the knave," and the in-
diter of the " haggis of adulation." Let our brother,
however, be comforted. The Address is one of the few
things that have lately come from his pen, of which we
entirely and unequivocally approve !—Edinburgh Even-
ing Post.----[ We thought as much.]—En. Sox.
