THE FUNDS-(TUTS DAY;.

CITY, TiVRI:VE CLOCK.
Almost a total 'cessation of business seems to have
taken place both in the English and Foreign Funds
to-day, and Consols, up to the present hour, have
not exhibited the least activity; they opened nomi-
nally at 84 e, have been,B4l, the price, and are now
sellers. The Exchequer market remains at the same
rate of premium, 61 2; India Bonds are 94 6.

In the Foreign Funds- this is settling day, but it
has not occasioned the least bustle ,owing to the con-
fined' nature of the transactions, which may fairly be
stated as having been already adjusted. There has
been no fluctuation except in Portuguese, from 62
to 59-; the prices in ,every other security appear to
be nearly stationary ; the same observations apply to
Shares.

The Rotterdam steamer }:as arrived this morning,
aid the letter bag will be delivered at from half-past
:wo to four o'clock.

It appears by a recent regulation, that it is in-
tended to run steam vessels in future from Margate
to Ostend, and the Fury and Spitfire Government
steamers have already arrived from Dover, to coin-
mence carrying the Netherlands mail between the
two abovementionea places. This is considered as
a I;eneeial and useful measure.
In allusion to the account we gave yesterday of
the piratical plunder of the Morning Star, from -
Ceylon, we hear that a large portion of the cargo
consists of upwards of 800 bales of cinnamon belong-
ing to Government, worth 20,0001., and that this
property is uninsured, whether by omission or not is
not knoWn.

buyers, with little business.

A Literary and Philosophical Society is likely
to be established at Barnsley.—Sheffield Mercury.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--Mrs. DUFF
made her second 'appearance here last night, as Adelgitha,
in the tragedy of that name: She was favourably received,
but does not possess first-rate talents. Mr. KEAN, jun.
was the Lothaire of the piece, and a very indifferenfone he
was.
COEURG.—A Mr. CHARLES appeared at
this theatre last night, for the first time, as Valentine, in
" The English Fleet." . His voice is a full, rich, and me-
lodious tenor. He was received with marked applause by
a crowded house, and was encored in all his songs, which
he executed in a very superior style, particularly "Is there
a heart that never loved." Miss GRADDON (who appeared
also for the first time) was in excellent voice, and sang
with her usual spirit. Mr. Ntcnor.t.s (late of the Royal
Brunswick Theatre) likewise appeared, and met with a fa-
vourable reception.

Miss F. H. KELLY has an engagement this
season at the Haymarket Theatre. We hope that Mr.
Moan's will engage a good tragedian—for instance, Mr.
YOUNG.
Mademoiselle SONTAG makes her first v_
pearance this evening, at the King's Theatre, iu Ros-
siNes Opera of the " Barber of Seville."

YATES'S new entertainment is postponed.
We understand he does not choose to be subject to the
Absentee tax, which he would incur by bringing it out at
the Adelphi.

It •is said that Madame VESTRIS, and her
beautiful sister, who has never yet appeared on any stage,
have both been engaged by the Lessee of Drury-lane Theatre,
and that the sisters will act together in the same drama,
early in September.
THE THEATIM—The numerous balls and
parties which have, during the last week, occupied the at-
tention of the pleasure-seeking people of Dublin, have left
the Theatre but thinly attended. Mr. BONN has returned
from London, where he has been for the purpose of making
engagements. We have heard that he has engaged a
gentleman whom we are sure will prove Attractive for many
reasons, and we have no reason to doubt but that his talents
will support it—Mr. KEAN, jun. is the new candidate;
and where his, father has been so highly patronised, the
eons will be sere of a favourable reception.—.-Dublin Even-,
