extracts :

By the schooner Sally and Polly, we have Matanzas
Papers to the 25th ult., from which we copy some ship-
ping intelligence. We learn from a gentleman who came
passenger in the schooner, that the crew, about 40 in
number, of the Spanish brig Jovena Maria, captured by
the Mexican brig Bravo, arrived at Matanzas, on board a
prize brig, taken near Key Sal Bank, on the 25th ult.
The• brig Jovena Maria, was from Vigo (Spain) and was
compelled in a gale of wind, previous to her being taken,
to throw her guns overboard. Her cargo is estimated to
be worth 60,000 dollars, consisting of specie,wine, oil, &c.
The prisoners speak in high terms of the treatment they
received from the officers and crew of the Bravo, their
baggage, clothes, &c., having been restored them.
The exchange at Matanzas on London, 10i- advance.
United States, par to 34- discount, the latter of which will
materially 'affect operations on sugars, which may have been
founded upon the negotiation of exchange.
A fire took place in New Orleans, on the 15th tilt,
which consumed nearly half the square opposite the Theatre,
which was materially damaged before the flames were
extinguished.

Extract of a Letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated April 7,
1827.—The: trial for the condemnation of the John, and
other vessels under similar circumstances, has been going on
for some time, without any decision having taken place.
It is believed that the whole of the property will be given
up.

GIBRALTAR, MAY s.—The Lingia from Ventlril,
was boarded on the 2d inst. off Malagar, by the Colom-
brian brig Pinchincha, mounting 20 guns, which men-
tioned the capture of several Spanish vessels. A brig,
supposed to be the Pinchincha was at the back of the rock
yesterday.

The Ann, Nixon, arrived in the Downs in 37 days from
Jamaica; saw on the 25th ult. a ship on shore to the
northward of Cat Keys (one of the Bemmini Islands) near
the Bahama banks ; her yards and topmasts were down and
she was surrounded by wreckers, but from the state of the
weather and situation of the wreck they could not ap-
proach her ; the John Shand, Junes, was in sight at some
distance but far to leeward; spoke on the 14th inst. in
lat. 44. lon. 41. the Southworth transport from Plymouth
to Quebec.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o'

Nothing of the least importance has taken place in the
British Funds ; some reports have been in circulation again
of sending further reinforcements to our troops in Portugal,
they have not, however, had any material effect on prices.
Until the Budget is brought forward it is not expected that
any decided activity will take place. Consols opened at
83i t for account, and 83a for money ; they have sub-
sequently been done at 83i a for account, and are now
83 . The abundance of unemployed capital is again
shewn by the continued advance of Exchequer Bills and
India Bonds, the former being 52 3, and the latter 81 3
pm. His Majesty's ship Cambridge arrived at Portsmouth
from Lima, and last from Rio de Janeiro ; she brings scarcely
any later accounts than those we received by the packet,
having sailed on the 9th April ; she has 781,000 dollars
on merchants' account on board ; indeed the few letters we
have seen are only to the Bth ult., several of them mention
their being aware of the disastrous intelligence from Rio
Grande, but seem to avoid giving particulars ; the Ex-
change is given at 35d. per Milrea, which is rather lower
than the packet brought, being 351. Shares attract not
the slightest attention; what appears extraordinary is the
success which has in some degree attended the exertions of
individual energies in one of the Mining districts, whilst
those solely in the hands of the Companies are at ruinous
discounts ; there must be some want of economy in the
management, or the parties sent out must be wanting in
skill and the knowledge necessary to work those specula-
tions with effect. _ _
