cheering. I am just informed that a telegraphic despatch
announces that several of the ships have been driven on
the coast of Catalonia, and one of the transports is lost.
From the reports of some Captains who have met the
expedition, it is feared that its collecting at Port Mahon
rill be attended with great difficulty and delay."
The Aviv) of Tculon, just rece.ved, states that
thousand picked men, drafted from various regiments,
were tinily exreeted in that town, destined to reinforce
the tri)(1):: sent against Algiers. It is added that th..
Minister of War has issued orders to the effect, that the
warehouses of Toulon shall be forthwith supplied with
every necessary article, for the support of a reserve of
fifteen thousand men. Meantime, the troops now sta-
tioned in Toulon are under orders to embark at a moment's
notice. Through the same channel we have accounts
from Alexandria to the 12th April, which mention that
twelve French vessels remained in that port—not being
able to procure freights ; and that the views of the
VICEROY were involved in the most impenetrable
mystery.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLOCR.
we have very few arrivals this morning, and they are not of much
importance. The funds have a dull appearance, and approach ra.
titer towards a decline, owing to a fall in the French Rents of about
1 per cent.

The Constihaionnel states that the expenditure of the City of
Paris is excessive; that city is greatly in debt, frequently driven
to loans ; and, to pay its way, is obliged to levy all kinds of t3Xvi
on the ioliabitants.

Consols, which left off on Saturday at 92i for the account,
opened at the same price this morning, since which they hare re.
ceded to 92i sellers, and at present may be quoted 92i

The foreign market is also very languid, with little or nothing
doing as yet. Prices are nominal.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE I—The import of Cotton this week ft
19,036 bags, and the sales are 12,010 bags, at rather lower prices,
particularly for Btazil. In Sugar, only 420 hhda. of British Plan.
tation have been disposed of this week, at former rates, with
110 bags white Bengal, at 70. In foreign nothing has been done.
Of Coffee the sales are 280 casks.

The Glasgow Papers state, that in the full employment of the
cotton weavers, a sensible improvement has been experienced in
their wages; not so much by the direct rise (about 10 per cent.) In
the rate, as the cloth being finer, and paid relatively higher.
Accounts from Lisbon, of the 30th May, state that large bodies
of Guerillas have appeared in various parts of the provinces, under
the name of Legitimate Defenders.

On the 24th of May, at Cadiz, the brig of war, Royalist, was
ready to sail with the Spanish officers for Algiers. Two hundred
engineers from the garrison of Gibraltar had deserted, and proceeded
to Algiers.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The funds still continue heavy, although the estafette from Paris
brings the French Rentes higher than oo Friday, 79.85. Up to the
present time the speculators in the Stock Exchange are quite idle ;
not the least business of any consequence doing. The Toulon cx.
peditioa and the unfortunate state of his Majesty, at present excite
the public attention. We had a stock jobbing report of there going
to be a change in the ministry, which at present is without any
foundation.

Consols have been during the morning at 924, alternately buyers
and sellers, for the Account ; and at present 92/1.
In the Foreign Market there la also not a feature worth the least
observation. The prices are much the same as on Saturday.
In Shares, little doing.
The Hamburgh steamer has arrived, by which we have received
the Hasthurgh Reporter of the 4th of June, which states that the
Funds there had completely recovered the ground they had lost, and
a good deal of business had been done. Expresses from Frankfort
had the effect of raising Austrian and Polish securities.

The private letters from Holland this morning also bring the
Dutch Funds higher. Gnat damage was done in the neighbour.

Monday, a fine large vessel, the X Y Z, sailed from
Cromartv, bound for Quebec. She had on board 210
emigrants, most of whom were natives of the counties of
Sutherland and Ross.

We regret to hear that the Marquis of A Ito LESEA is
suffering under a most afflicting attack of tic douloureuz :
in the early part of the week his Lordship was considered
in great danger; we believe the violence of the disorder
has, in a slight degree, decreased.
The Earl of Shaftesbury gave a Cabinet dinner on

Lady Wrottesley's ball, on Friday night, was very

MILITARY DANDIES IN INDIA.—The following
General Order has been issued by the Commander-in-
Chief at Madras, dated head-quarters, Choultry Plain,
December 4,1829 :—" The Commander-in-Chief having,
with great disgust, noticed a feminine practice adopted
by some officers of this service, of wearing combs in their
hair, and dangling fancy curls, unbecoming the appear-
ance of a soldier, desires that this practice may be forth-
with abolished, and a more male costume adopted."
The Court Journal says, with respect to the Duke of
Orleans' entertainment—" A party of ruffians bad made
their way into the garden for the preconcerted purpose
of exciting a commotion, but with what ulterior object it
is difficult to say. Attention was first called to this part
of the scene about 11 o'clock. At this period the
buz which proceeded from the populace in the garden
was occasionally interrupted by shouts and shrieks. These
unpleasant sounds were followed by a sight not less dis-
agreeable. Articles of female dress were thrown across the
crowd in all directions; a regular riot ensued, and the
piles of chairs which had been placed in the garden for
hire were soon converted into dangerous instruments of
offence. Wherever a space could be found sufficiently
free from the crowd, one of these chairs might be seen
hurled into the air, and producing in its descent many a
broken head. This amusement was attended with the ex-
tinction of many of those festoons of lamps which cow
nected the trees of the garden by means of so many mead*
and garlands of coloured and variegated light. It was this,
perhaps, which created the idea ofa bonfire in the middle of
the garden, for which fuel was readily found in these heap
of devoted chairs, the proprietors of which had, it seemed,
offended the multitude, by raising the ordinary price
of two sous a piece up to 25. Great masses of marble
which forms the pedestal of one of the finest bronze statues
in the centre of the garden have absolutely been consum-
ed by the intensity of the conflagration, and it is feared
that this unhappy disturbance will produce a sad list of
, casualties.'•
