subject of the condemned ship, but it was impossible.
The public houses at the Falls were so thronged that almost
every inch of the floors was occupied as comfortable sleeping
apartments ; we slept on straw for a bed, and had a
feather turne:l edgeways for a pillow. About two o'clock
the word was given, she comes ! she comes ! and in about
half an hour she struck the first rapid, reeled very
much, and lost her masts and spars, which caused her
again to right. Imagine to yourself a human being on
boasd, and the awful sensations he must have experienced
on her striking the rapid, which appeared in a moment as
her last ; but as I observed, on her masts giving way, she
proceeded to the second rapid, when she struck, stopped
about a minute, and seemed to make her last and desperate
effort to drive over this rapid ; she was thrown com-
pletely on her side, filled again, and righted, and proceed-
Id on her course. Here let me remark, there were two
bears a buffalo, a dog, and several other animals on
board : the bears now left the wreck, and made their
andse to Mr. Browne's hotel, where they were caught,
sold for five dollars each.

precipitated over' them and killed, as it
:sid, by a spar falling across its back ; for the other
seani.aniftealsr it is not known what became of them. The ves-
going over the second rapid was turned stern fore-
:4°4, in which way she was precipitated over the mighty
4113, and when about half over, her keel broke, and in a
few let moments she was torn to fragments. There were pro-
, 50,000 spectators who witnessed this novel and irn-
spectacle.

At the former place no vessels were injured, all

sea coast of the United States seems,
particu-
larly to the southward, to have suffered severely
by the continued dreadful and boisterous weather.
A number of valuable vessels and cargoes have
been wrecked, and the shore was strewed with the
melancholy effects of its violence. We regret
also to notice, by this opportunity, a not less
disastrous account has been received from the
West Indies. At fit. Domingo, St. Kitt's, St.
Thomas's, 'Antigua, and St. Bartholomew's,
it had proved of a tremendous character,
and the loss in shipping property had been
extremely great. Porto Rico had felt the effeeta
of the gale, but it was not known whether it
Lad suffered materially ; the plantations autt
b'Aiidinoos had suffered considerably in all the
hlands noticed. -

Gibraltar Chronicles, of the 20th ult., have
been received. They contain no intelligence
worth extracting. It appears that the brig

Iglaga, in consequence of the master, THOMAS

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwELrx o' amt..

The English Funds have had but trifling fluctua-
tions since the commencement of business ; Consols
opened at 87a I, both for money and account, but
have gone back to 87 i; Exchequer Bills and India
Bonds remain without any alteration, the former
being 62 3, and the latter, 94 6 pm.
The Foreign Stock Exchange has been in a state
of complete confusion all the morning; it was early
ascertained that the Mexican Mail had arrived, and
the greatest anxiety was exhibited by the dealers,
to know what news she brought; in the mean
time a variety of rumours were put in circulation,
which had the eirT.t, for a moment, of frightening
the Bears most tremendously, and the Bonds, which
were 44f 5, fluctuated most violently and touched
as high a figure as 47; 8; when, after this rise, a
gradual decline commenced, and they receded to
their present price, 44; 5, it having been ascertained
that there was no news received by the packet that
would justify such an advance. The letters from
Mexico are of the sth of August, all was quiet in a
political point of view, but there were no signs of re-
mittances for the dividend due, or those which are
now again approaching. In Colombian nothing of
importance has been transacted, and the price is
quoted at 2.54 i; the accounts shew the country to
remain still in rather an unsettled state : however,
the activity and vigour which it was understood were
likely to be infused into the Government by Bolivar,
when he arrived at Bogota, were expected to put
every thing in a more tranquil state. The agitation
Which has been shown in the Funds of the Mexican
Bonds has prevented scarcely any attention being
paid to other Foreign Securities, in which there has
been little or no variation. Shares remain in nearly
the same state as yesterday, little or nothing doing.
