Though but little has been done in the funds to-
day, the market has exhibited more firmness than it
did yesterday. Consols are 92f for Money and 93
buyers for the Account. New Three-and-a-Half per
Cents., 1008 1014. A slight decline has occurred in

being 50 52, those at 2d. remain at 49 51.

Vansictions in Foreign Securities have also been

have been sold at 183 ; South Western, 58 ; Brigh-
ton, 341; Eastern Counties, 8i; Blackwall, 64 ;
South Eastern, Scrip, 11 f ; Midland Counties, 59+ ;
Edinburgh and Glasgow, 471.
Spanish Five per Cents, 16* 16+, and the'Three
per Cents. 21*, are the only bonds quoted to-day.
By a chance vessel there are later accounts from
Monte Video. The intelligence is not of great com-
mercial importance, though trade had somewhat im-
proved, in consequence• of increased confidence
being shown in the expectation that the war
would speedily be terminated. As is usually
the case, the information relative to Buenos
Ayres is contradictory to that direct from the place
itself, but it would appear, that further insurrections
had broken out in the interior, against the power of
Rosas. This individual is, it would seem, setting every
one at defiance, and by his overbearing actions
disgusting all parties. It was rumoured that some
combinations had been entered into for the purpose
of forcing him to resign, and which is not at all im-
probable. The great difficulty would be in the
choice of a successor; and it may be doubted whether
if left to themselves, internal war might not be car-
ried on more fiercely than it is at present.

LORD ASHBURTON'S ARRIVAL
FROM NEW YORK.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
The Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, arrived
at Spithead this afternoon, bringing home Lord Ash-
burton from his mission in America. His Lordship
left the Warspite between two and three o'clock, and
landed at Gosport, the ship saluting him when he
left her, and the batteries upon his landing.
The Warspite has been seventeen days from
America, having left on the morning of the sth inst.
She was becalmed two days, or would have made the
run in fifteen days. Lord Ashburton upon his landing
at Gosport, immediately proceeded to his residence at
Anglesey, where Lady Ashburton has been waiting
his arrival.

WATER COMPANIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As you have inserted in your valuable
Paper the complaint of one " Householder" in
the district of St. John, Lambeth, against the
imposition about to be inflicted on the inhabi-
tants, perhaps you will have the goodness to no-
tice this, for the benefit of those similarly situate.
Your Correspondent complains of the extra
charge of 4s. upon 245.; but what would he have
done had he been served with a notice, as I have,
and many of my neighbours, that we are to pay,
after the 20th, 120 PER CENT. more, raising the
charge from 11. 12s. to 31. 18s. !! and this for a
ten-roomed private house. We have no remedy,
as your Correspondent observes; the two Com-
panies having agreed together. Perhaps a little
showing-up in your Paper would make this mo-
nopoly a little insecure, by the establishment of
another Company; and I know, in that case,
nine-tenths of the inhabitants would support
them. ANOTHER HOUSEHOLDER.
St. John's District, Lambeth, Sept. 23, 1842.
