1 NEW ZEALAND.—Papers have been received from
Wellington, New Zealand, to the 25th of July, by the
Lord Nelson, arrived at Deal. The only intelligence
they contain is, that the election of members for the
Provisional Council and House of Representatives was
proceeding without excitement.
NEW YORK MONEY-KARKET.—The accounts from
New York this week, as regards the state of the money-
market, are more favourable than for some time past,
and a conviction seems to have been prevalent at the
departure of the steamer that the recovery from the
recent pressure would henceforth be rapid and perma
nent. The banks, by which a contraction of circulation
had been effected during the past 12 weeks to the extent
of 2,800,0001., were now in a position of strength, and
were expected to discount ssith comparative freedom
as soon as the shipments of specie to Europe should
have further subsided—a result which had become cer-
tain, the rate of exchange having already experienced
a marked decline, while for the future it would
be affected by continued shipments of breadstuffs
and cotton. Under these circumstances, the rate
of discount had receded from 15 per cent. to
12 in one day, but meanwhile several failures
had been announced. None of them, however,
were in connection with regular trade, all the ordinary
transactions of commerce still exhibiting the greatest
soundness. The parties were Mr. H. Dwight, jun., a
banker and stockdealer, for 80,0001. ; Messrs. Leggett,
Brothers, and Co., a commission house, for 85,0001.
L. H. Pratt, of Buffalo, a forwarding house, for 8,0001.
the Owego (New York) Bank, with a capital 40,000/.
the Patchin Bank, at Buffalo (New York), with a circu-
lation of 23,000/. ; and the Bank of Massillon (Ohio).
At the same time Diamond and Co., the sugar refiners
of Bristol, Rhode Island, who failed about a fortnight
previously for a large amount, had paid their creditors
80 per cent., and obtained a full discharge. In other
respects there was nothing new. Cold weather appeared
to have set in, and the probability of an early closing of
the canals was discussed with interest in its bearing on
the supply of grain and flour from the west, although,
owing to the extension of railroads, the influence of such
an event would be great by less than in former years.
BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—As regards the
general business of the port of London during the past
week, there were 251 vessels reported inward, being 26
less than in the previous week. The total quantity of
grain reported amounted to 51,157 quarters, including
24,146 quarters of wheat. In addition, there were
3,001 barrels and 998 sacks of flour, 4,757 bags of rice,
and 754 tons of potatoes. Of sugar there were 240 hogs-
heads, 197 casks, and 650 cases reported ; of coffee,
1,631 bags and 740 casks ; of cocoa, 961 bags ; of tea,
15,250 packages ; and of hops, 1,541 bales. The number
of vessels cleared out was 125, being 3 more than in the
previous week. Of these 19 were in ballast, and 15
for the Australian colonies. The actual exports to those
colonies included, among other things, 391,215 yards of
calicoes, plain and part-dyed, 5,440 yards of canibrics,
gauzes, &c., and goods of the declared value of 51,6611.
COLONEL DOUGLAS PENNANT.—A deputation of ten
gentlemen, desirous of the preservation of the language
and literature of Wales, has just waited, by appoint-
ment, on the Hon. Col. Douglas Pennant, at Penrhyn
Castle, near Bangor, in order to solicit him to become
president of the Eisteddfod, which, pursuant to recent
public proclamation, will be held in Bangor in 1854, in
accordance with the bardic rules of Britain. The
Colonel gave the deputation a most courteous reception,
but declined the proposed honour, as he was not a
Welshman. He also strongly objected to the holding
of an Eisteddfod, alleging that he thought no practical
good resulted from such ephemeral gatherings. If,
however, he could advance the interests of the northern
part of the principality by the establishment of schools,
or in any other way, his purse and earnest personal ex-
ertions were at their command. The deputation then
retired, and, at a meeting held immediately after, it was
resolved that Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, the member for the
borough, should be requested to accept the presidency.
THE PASSENGER ACT.—Four informations were heard
yesterday before the Liverpool magistrates against
Captain R. D. Robertson, of the elipper.ship Guiding
Star, which was forced by stress of weather and the
cholera, to put into Belfast a few days ago, on her pas-
sage from Liverpool to New York. The charges were
made under the Passenger Act, on the complaint of
Captain Schomberg, of the Government Emigration-
office, and were for an alleged infringement of the 19th,
21st, 22d, and 33d sections of that act. They were to
the effect that uncooked provisions were given to the
emigrants ; that the hospital for women had not been
maintained ; that a number of waterclosets had been
cleared away, leaving fewer than required by law ; and
that the bulkhead dividing the male from the female
passengers had been removed after the ship left port.
The case as to the removal of the hospital was with•
drawn,tbut evidence was offered in support of the other
charges. For the defence it was proved that the hos-
pital was not removed until the return of the vessel, that
the four closets in question had become a nuisance, and
that the surgeon had ordered them to be removed when
the cholera broke out. A surgeon, who was examined,
gave his opinion that if the Guiding Star had noatiwe
put
into Belfast there would not have been 20persons_
when she reached New York. Mr. Mansfield,
de-
ciding the case, said that the removal of the bulkhead
head
and waterclosets had been considered nerative,
y to the
health of the passengers, but the law

It appears that the doctor found fault with the colonel
for drilling his men so much in the sun, which gave
h
e riset e
to a stormy altercation between them, during which
colonel demanded the doctors whip, alleging that he (the
doctor) made use of it in a menacing manner towards
him. On this request being refused, the colonel at-
tempted to take it by force, which he was prevented
from doing by the doctor throwing the whip over the
railings. The affair ended by the colonel placing the
doctor under arrest, and had him escorted to his
71st, quar-

matter was patched up, but they are both doing duty as
