Sierra Leone, St. Domingo, and Jamaica, Bombay, 24th
February ; St. Helena, 18th May ; Calcutta, 6th March ;
Singapore; New York 16th June and 19th June by the

The Quebec papers received this morning to the 14th
June, give the comparative statement of arrivals, tonnage
and passengers at the port of Quebec, to the 10th June
inclusive, for the years 1838 and 1839, by which it appears
that this year there are 37 more vessels ; also in tonnage,
8,722; passengers, 1,908.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET OF TUESLAY.—The Cot-
ton market continues dull and the demand very limited.
'l'o-day's sales confined to about 1,000 bags.
American papers have been received to the 20th. June
by the packet-ship, South America.
From the Commercial Record of the 18th June :
" The Banks are doing very little in discount way at pre-
sent, and money of course is becoming rather scarce, as is
evidenced by the state of the stock market. The sales at
the Board of Brokers yesterday, were confined almost ex-
clusively to what is called " fancies" at a decline„of from
to 1 per cent. upon Saturday prices.
By the Liverpoolateamer arrived at Falmouth, we have
received the Lisbon mail of the Ist inst. She sailed from
Gibraltar on the 27th, Cadiz 28th, Oporto 3d, and Vigo
4th instant. She brings accounts that the Foreign Minister
had laid before the Cortes his expected project relating to
the foreign debt on Tuesday last. He presented to the
I Chamber a voluminous mass of papers, which he said were
the result of the labours of the Committee appointed in
July, 1838, to propose a mode of satisfying the claims of
the foreign creditors, the particulars of which will be found
in another part of the paper.
We have received the Gibraltar Papers of the 28th June.
These Papers are as usual anticipated by the French
Journals in the news from the theatre of war in Spain.

JIALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK

We are sorry to announce that a failure of some impor-
tance has taken place this morning in the Stock Exchange.
'File gentleman speculated to a considerable amount in
shares, and particularly in those of the Anti-thy-Rot.
Some fears are entertained that it will be the cause of
other failures.

The Batavier has arrived, by which we have received
Dutch Papers to the 10th instant. They bring the Dutch
Funds as follows :.--Two-and-a- Half per Cents, 548 ; Five
per Cents., 102 13.16 • Discounts and Loans at 3 per
cent. The above papers do not contain any political news
of importance.
Money appears easy to-day, owing no doubt to the divi-
dends being paid.
Consols are at present 931 for the opening; Money,
928 ; Exchequer Bills receded to 21 22 20 ; India Bonds,
27 31; Bank Stock, 192.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active 198; Portu-
guese, 34; Three per Cents, 208 21 ; Chilian, 37 ; Co.

NEWSPAPER PRESS BENEVOLENT ASSOCIA-
TION.—In addition to the professienal singers who have so
kindly volunteered to attend at the second anniversary of
this Association, to be celebrated at the Freemason's Ta-
vern on Saturday next, we have great pleasure in stating
that Mr. Laporte has given his permission to all the
members of his company not actually engaged at the
Opera House on that night, a permission of which they most
reedily avail themselves,- Ladies' tickets to the number of
100 have already been disposed of, so that a brillian tas-
semblage may be anticipated.
TIIE BRITISH QUEEN:—This stupendous ship
left the river for New York this morning, at nine o'clock,
calling at Portsmouth on her way to receive those pas-
sengers who do not embark in London. She will leave
Portsmouth on Thursday evening, and proceed direct on
her first trans- Atlantic trip. Tile number of passengers
who have engaged berths is 200, and, with her crew, en-
gineers, stokers, firemen, and servants, she will take out no
less than 32.0 persons. She has on board 800 tons of
goods, besides 600 tons of coals and the stores and provi-
I siting- She is the largest merchant ship that ever left this
or any other port, and, when she leaves Portsmouth, pro-
perty to the amount of a million and a half sterling will
be afloat—probably the richest ship and cargo that ever
I sailed on the ocean.
