swindler of his day—a political Judas—a traitor
to his avowed principles—a despicable truckler
—a political profligate—a crafty and ambi-

tious Minister." If any thing can gratify
Mr. CANNING, it must, be the contempt of
such a mean reptile as this. We should apo-
logize to our readers for collecting all the
creature's filth ; but we do it .for the purpose of
showing to what extent the degradation of the

human mind can be carried. Probably the
Rev. PETER LEGH has been disappointed of a
Bishopric. Nothing is more likely ; for who
would give a mitre to Thersites ?

Newfoundland Papers to the 29th May mention that his
Majesty's ship Orestes, Capt. Jones, with the Right Rev.
the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia on board, had arrived the
evening before from Halifax, in four days. His Majesty's
brig Contest, Lieut. English, had also arrived, in 11 days,
from the same port. These Papers communicate the in-
creased activity which prevailed in the seal fishery, and bids
fair to be attended with considerable beneficial effects to
that Colony.

WASHINGTON PAPERS.-Mr. Sparks, the editor of the
North American Review, is industriously engaged, at Mount
Vernon, in arranging the papers left by General Washing-
ton, preparatory to their publication.
The Chamber of Commerce of St. John's, New Bruns-
wick, have petitioned the British Government to prohibit
the introduction of American produce into the English
West India" Islands, through neutral ports. The peti-
tioners represent that, if this circuitous trade be permitted,
it will operate greatly to the prejudice of the British Co-
lonies, and recommend the Government to prohibit (ex-
cept in extreme cases) the entry of any United States'
produce into any British port or place, whether British or
foreign, south of Halifax.
A private letter from ,Rio, says, this Government is about
to send reinforcements to their army; and the Buenos. Ayres
Commander, Gem Alveira, has sent for 2,600 men ; so that
the winter will probably pass away in preparations for an
active campaign next summer; while it is understood that
negociations are going on through the medium of the Bri-
tish Minister, at this Court, and at Buenos Ayres.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

To-day being a holiday at the Bank and both Stock Ex-
changes the dealers met, as usual, in the Royal Exchange,
where the attendance has been rather numerous, without,
however, any business of an important character ; some
private bargains have been effected in Consols at 861,
buyers, and this was the nearest price at the above hour.
The principal operations in the Foreign Funds have been in
Greek Bonds, which are about 1 per cent. higher than yester-
day, being 16i buyers ; this is owing to the late disasters not
being of that ruinous nature which the accounts from Ger-
many represented ; it is also now stated that the Perseverance
steam vessel has not been captured by the Turks, but on
the contrary, that she has appeared off Santa Maura, and
offered battle to a Turkish vessel of force in that harbour.
Colombian Bonds are heavy at 30 ; Mexican, 701, buyers;
Brazilian are offered at 60, but no buyers.

Two o' Clock.

Consols are without the least variation, and continue at
861 the price. Colombian Bonds have been done at SOi,
but are now 301-. Mexican are 70i . The jobbers are
retiring from the labour of the day, and the Royal Ex-
change is nearly clear of their attendance.
