BERLIN, 3IAY 13.

The plan for establishing a Bank in this city is now
spoken of more confidently than ever. The present visit
to this city of the agent of a great and well-known bank-
ing-house seems to be connected with the plan in question.
But, however advantageous the co-operation of that house
might be in the execution, it is not believed that it will be
this time consulted in the forming of the plan itself.
(From the Oriental Spectator.)
S3IYRNA, APRIL 14.

On the 90th March, the English armed brig Cameleou
being near Andros, saw about ten o'clock in the evening
four mistics al.proaching. Every thing was prepared
on board to give them a good reception, when suddenly
the pirates, perceiving their mistake, tacked about, and
rowed away with all speed. The boats of the brig were
immediately launched, and the captain himself went in
pursuit of the mistics. One of the boats getting the
start of the others, overtook one of the mistics, and threw
out its grappling irons ; and though the English were only
eight in number, they attempted to hoard the mistic, which
had a crew of 80 men. But the pirates, collecting all
their force, fell on the English, wounded four, and suc-
ceeded in getting free from the grappling irons, before the
other boats could come to the assistance of that which was
engaged. Thus these four mistics escaped under cover of
the night, which was very dark. All these pirate vessels
have a covering of tallow, about half an inch thick, over
the whole of that part which is under water, which greatly
adds to their swiftness.

. WURTZBURG, MAY 21.

A Mr. Ideler in Berlin, has lately endeavoured to
prove that there is a considerable error in our calculation of
the Christian era. According to his calculations the birth
of our Saviour has happened six years earlier than bas
hitherto been assumed, and that consequently the present
year is not 1827 but 1933.

STOCKHOLM, MAT 8.

Lieutenant-General Tibell, President of the Military
Board, has just published an interesting work called the
" History of the Order of the Seraphim," in which he en-
deavours to prove that the Order was instituted in 1285,
by King Magnus Ladulus, on the occasion of the mai .lage
of his son Buiger to Princess Margaret, daughter of Erich
King of Denmark.

VIENNA, MAY 18.—Metalliques, 90i ; Bank Sbares,

The following extract of a private letter has
been received this morning at the North and
South American Coffee-house :

" HONDURAS, APRIL 13.—The intelligence from Gua-
temala has for some weeks past been rather of an unplea-
sant nature. There is, it appears, a great deal of dissen-
tion in the States of Salvador and Nicaragua. A French
Colonel, formerly in the service of Napoleon, and subse-
quently in that of the Guatemaliau Republic, had been im-
soiled or put under arrest by the latter for suspicious con-
duct. When the faction first discovered itself in St. Sal-
vador, their first measure was to liberate Colonel Rolle
(the Frenchman), who immediately headed them.
He collected together about 500 troops, or rather a
mob, which the Guatemalian Government instantly took
steps to repress ; volunteers appeared quicker than might
have been expected, and the President left the capital for
the State in question, at the head of 1,200 men. It is
this morning reported, as you will see by the Gazette,
that there has been a skirmish, and that the Salvadorians
have been routed. We may hope to hear more in a
few days."
P.S. Since the above was written letters from Guate-
mala have been received. They confirm most satisfactbrily
the report as to the defeat of the Rebels from St. Salva-
dor, and tranquillity and order were again established.
The President, who is deservedly popular, and more so
now than before, has issued a printed proclamation to the
above effect, of which we have seen a copy.

Extract of a letter from Carthagena dated April 1:
Our market is in a perfect state of stagnation; every one
seems at a loss as to what may take place, and it is known
that Bolivar and Santander are decidedly opponents. We
will not recommend the shipment of any thing, nor do we
wish to see property introduced here. We give no quota-
tions, because it is impolitic to fix a value, or to know
whether we may not alt in a month' hence have to leave this
country.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

The British Funds have had some important transactions
tins morning, and prices have rapidly advanced since the
commencement of business ; the general opinion is decidedly
for an improvement. Consols opened at 83i- 4, were re-
peatedly done at but suddenly went up to 844 -I for ac-
count, and 84 for money, rather sellers, the Commissioners
were served at 84 ; the nearest price at present is 844.
As this is the day Consols shut, the dividend hunters are
busy getting in Stock, and the appearance of the marlret
is lively. India Bonds, 80 3, and Exchequer Bills, 48 9
pin. This is settling day in the Foreign Funds ; Mexican
Bonds are a little higher than their first price, and may be
quoted at 68t ; Colombian, 31i ; Russian Bonds, which
generally rise or fall with Consols, have participated
in their advance, and are now 92 4 ; Brazilian, 58 ; and
Buenos Ayres, 60 I. In Shares the quotations are nomi-
nally the same, with little or nothing doing in any of them.
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 84, rather sellers ;
Ditto for account, Sq. ; India Bonds, SO 3 pm. ; Ex-

Two o' Clock.

A trifling reaction has taken place in Consols, and for a mo-
ment they were 84 but they have since got up to 841
for account. India Bonds have fallen from 80 2to 70, and
Exchequer Bills from 48 9 to 39 40 pm. ; this fall is at-
tributed by some to the sale of Exchequer Bills to reinstate
borrowed stock, whilst others think that some of the con-
tents of the Budget have transpired, told caused the reduction.
