THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwsLra o'CLocr.

The hurry occasioned by the settlement having
been surmounted, to-day the more important point
of exchanging cheques for the differences has been
the chief employment of the Brokers, and there have
been but few transactions in the English Funds to
report, neither has any fluctuation of much import
taken place. Consols opened for money at 861
and 86i for the account, Aug. 28, since which they
have been buyers at 86/, and are now sellers with
scarce a shade difference between the money and
time price. The premium on India Bonds is fully
supported, 108 9; Exchequer Bills, 73 4 pro.
The Foreign Market is at present very uninterest-
ing, and the variations in price trifling ; a small re-
duction may be stated in Mexican 6 per Cent. Bonds,
they are 39/ 40 ; Russian, 941 ; Portuguese, 56 1;
Brazilian and Buenos Ayres are without the least
alteration; United Mexican Shares, from the favour-
able accounts that have been received, are 18 17
discount; for the same cause Bolanos are now only
35 25 dis.; Real del Monte, 50 discount.
Three per Cent. Consols, 86i 1; Ditto, for the
Account, 865 5; Four per Cent., 1826, 104 1; India
Stock, 2443 55; India Bonds, 198 9 pm. ; Bank Stock,
2105 2115 ; Exchequer Bills, 73 4 pm.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols have been alternately buyers and sellers
at 861, at present sellers, with little business. India
Bonds have touched 110 pm. The settlement of
the account has proved disastrous to a third person
this morning, who has been unable to meet his
differences. -

WATCH AND CLOCK-MAKERS' PENSION
SOCIETY.-The anniversary dinner of this Society took
place yesterday at the Highbury Barn Tavern, Mr. Sheriff
SPOTTISWOODE, M.P., in the Chair. Upwards of 100
persons sat down to dinner, and the evening was passed in
the utmost harmony.

ASTLEY'S AMPHITILEATRE.—The grand
original national spectacle, entitled the Battle of Waterloo,
meets, we are glad to find, with the nightly applause of
the audience. It is very splendid, and boasts of some
creditable acting. Mr. GOMERSAL'S Napoleon is a very
amusing and not unfaithful fac-simile of the external ap-
pearance of the French Emperor.

On the morning of yesterday se'nnight, the
Catherine, of Castletown, ftfty tons burthen, C'.LLEN,
Master, from Cork, in ballast, got on shore on Northam
Burrows. Every thing portable has been removed from
her, and it is expected she will go to pieces. The crew
are safe at Appledore.—Exeter Alfred.

The supply of salmon and salmon trout in our
market, has of late considerably increased, and the prices
have fallen. The retail price is from Is. to Is. 2d. for the
prime cuts ; grilse and red whitlings 9d. Haddocks have
become scarce ; and from the great majority of the fisher-
men having gone to the herring fishery, the supply o.
white fish of all kinds is scanty.—Caledonian Mercuryf

A great improvement in the art of paper-
making has been invented, and is about to be adopted, in
most of the large manufactories of this kingdoin. It is a
powerful drying steam machine, containing four large cy-
linders, through which a web, in tke fullest sense of the
term, passes, and obtains by the pressure a surface smooth
and even in every part, and is cut to any size.
On the 16th inst. the Committee of West
India Merchaats and Planters granted 501. to Mr. .T. H.
HOWARD, to testify their approbation of his recent Work
on the Laws of the British West Indian Colonies—a fact
equally creditable to both parties.

An immense speculation is about to be un-
dertaken, at the head of which is said to he M. LAFITTF,
for the purpose of draining all the marshes in France.
You will learn with surprise that there are not fewer than
1,200 square miles of bogs and fens in this country. Go-
vernment patronizes the undertaking ; and taxes on the
drained lauds will be remitted during 25 years. The
Octroi duty on wines entering Paris, which Is now 50
francs per piece, is to be reduced to 25 : it is thought
that twice the quantity will be consumed, that Govern-
ment will lose nothing, but that the wine-growers will
derive considerable benefit from the new arrangement.
At this moment good Bourdeaux wine may be bought
at Hamburg!), or Gaudalonpe, for Isd. a' bottle, when
the same quality costs, in Paris, 30d.-3forning Merald.
MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF
Lvivr.—A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Leith,
took place on Friday, in the Exchange Buildings there, to
receive a report from their Committee, and from their de-
putation who had just returned from London, in regard to
the Leith Dock Acts Suspension Bill, and as to the im-
provements of the harbour. The report of Mr. TELFORD,
engineer, on Leith Barbour, was first read, and thereafter
a report of the Committee of inhabitants, after which a re-
solution was proposed, highly approving of the conduct of
the Committee, and authorising them to adopt the most
effectual means for preventing farther evasion and delay in
the execution of the engagements incumbent on the Town
Council of Edinburgh, in regard to the improvement of
the harbour.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
We hear that it is intended to apply to Par-
liament next Session, for an Act to make a turnpike road
along the south bank of the Yeo to Chelfatn Bridge, and
so on by the vallies to Bretton. The proposed inclosure of
Bretton Down, and the increasing population and cultiva-
tion of Exmoor, make this an object of great prospective
wisdom and calculation. The road itself will be among
the most beautiful in the w0r1d....-Exeter Alfred,
