THE FUNDS. •

The arrival of the three French Mails which are
due to-day, is anxiously expected by both the parties
whose operations are likely to be materially influenced
by the confirmation or contradiction of the rumour
of Russia having sent an Ambassador to the Court of
Turkey. The confident language in which it is as-
toted seems to have obtained for it very general cre-
dit; and the Market has of course improved, both in
appearance and in price. Consols are 78% for Mo-
ney, and 7834 % for the Account.

During Saturday night, and the whole of Sunday,
a dreadful gale was experienced from the S.W. N.
N.E. &c. the effects of which are visible along the
coast to an almost incredible degree. On reference
to our Port Letters, received to-day, it will be seen,
that at Yarmouth alone between 150 and 250 vessels
lost anchors and cables ; also, a great many vessels
suffered in the Downs, at Ramsgate, Harwich, Scar-
borough, &c. but they are chiefly confined to the loss
of anchors, cables, masts, &c. We have not yet heard
of any lives having been lost, but it is most likely.—
The extent of the damage is not yet ascertained. The
extracts will be found in another column.

We have received New Brunswick Papers to the
11th of October.

The Coronation of his MAJESTY was celebrated
with great splendour at St. John's, and the festivities
were kept up for several days; three oxen were roasted
whole; and, at a grand dinner, at which his Excel-
lency the Lieutenant-Governor presided, a variety of
loyal toasts were given, and the amusements con-
cluded with a grand display of fireworks.

Letters from the settlements above Frederickston
state, that the harvest has been exceeding good, and
there is reason to believe that much more grain will
be housed than will be necessary for the consumption
of these settlements.

It is stated in the Quebec Gazette that the General
Post-Office, London, has determined to forward the
Mail to Canada by the American Packet, which sails
regularly from Liverpool Gn the first of every month
for New York. The King's Packets, it is added, do
not usually sail from Falmouth till nearly the middle
of the month. The new arrangements will, therefore,
give at Quebec a regular Mail from England once a
fortnight instead of a month.

According to the last accounts from the United
States, the fever had not yet suspended its ravages in
the infected parts of the Union ; and at Baltimore,
Norfolk, and the neighbouting towns, several deaths
still took place daily. This awful scourge had reached
Alexandria, where five or six persons peddled every
day. It had been announced that Washington
had also been infected, but the report, we are happy
to state, was unfounded. That city is scarcely ever
exempt from intermittent and ague fevers to a cer-
tain extent, but they were at this period of a very
mild nature, and not at all alarming. At Shepherds-
town, in Virginia, the sickness prevailed with great
•iolence. Many families had not one individual in
them able to attend upon the sick. It is mentioned
as remarkable, that whilst Virginia and part of Mary-
land were visited by this dreadful disorder, New
Orleans and Savannah, which bad heretofore suffered
so much, were now comparatively healthy. On the
6th of September, New Orleans was pronounced the
"most healthy city in the Union."

The Annivenlary of the Gunpowder Plot was, as
usual, observed by all the juvenile branches of the
London populace, including some grown up children
of the west end of the town, and many a paper coat
and mitre fell a sacrifice to the fury of the flames in
the evening. Tower-hill had an immense bonfire,
which was surrounded by some thousands of persons;
and so great a display of fire-works has not been
known for years. All attempts on the part of the
Police to stop these squibs were useless. No accident,
however, occurred, and only one person was taken
into custody.
A general battle took place yesterday morning in
Shepherd's-market, between the populace and peace-
officers ; the latter having removed Guy Faux gib-
beted, and replaced the pavement, which had been
torn up to erect it. After a smart affray the consta-
bles kept the ground.
The entertainments at Guildhall, on the ensuing
Lord Mayor's Day, are to be on a most magnificent
scale. Last night the whole of the interior of the
Hall was lighted by gas, in order to try the effect of
several alterations which have been made in the ar-
rangement of the chandeliers, &c. The effect was
brilliant beyond description. A number of persons
were present, who expressed much approbation at the
manner in which the whole was conducted. In the
midst of their admiration a ludicrous scene took place.
From the most glaring light, in an instant, total dark-
ness prevailed, the whole of the gas being extinguished
by a preconcerted signal. Some carious jumbling
snatches took place, but a speedy restoration of part
of the lights soon restored order and harmony.
