MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Arrivals this morning, French and Ostend mails, ship let-
ters from Calcutta, 13th April, and Cape, 29th August.
We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 30th
August.
The Papers of the 29th August contains a trial for a libel.
The action was brought at the suit of the Hon. J. B. Eden,
Esq., against the Editor of the South African Commercial
Advertiser, damages laid at 4001. The Court gave a verdict
for the plaintiff, damages 201.
From the Papers of the 25th August:—" We are happy
to find that on the Eastern frontier there seems to be sow a
hope and an expectation entertained by the public generally,
that Government will succeed in its grand object of tranquiliz-
ing and keeping quiet our formidable neighbours the Caffres.
Not that we ever had any doubt as to the real tendency and
certain effects of the just and wi,e measures entered upon
by the Lieutenant-Governor, approved by the Home Govern-
ment, and cordially adopted and energetically carried out by
the present Governor; but, so long as the people doubted,
the full benefit of the new arrangements could be realised by
neither party.
" It seems to be admitted, also, that our trusty and well-be-
loved cousin, the Caffre, has been remarkably sedate during
the last month, the property taken and recoverable according
to the treaty with him, being two horses and fourteen head of
cattle, of which five head have been recovered.

".JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.—The proposed Company men.
tioned in our last, namely, a " Shipping and Landing Com-
pany," held a meeting last Wednesday, and in the course of
that day (we believe) all the; shares, 2,000 in number, were
subscribed.

" The Lieutenant-Governor islexpeeted in town next week."
It is stated that private intelligence has been received from
the Hague of the 23d inst., immediately after the Chamber
had closed, that the second Chamber of the States General
had voted an address to the King, in answer to his Majesty's
Speech. It is said that it contains the almost unanimous de-
claration of the Chamber, that if the policy of the Great
Powers should demur to the Treaty of the Twenty-four
Articles, the King may nevertheless rely upon the uncondi-
tional support of the nation.
The above intelligence is said to anticipate, by twenty-four
hours, the publication of the proceedings of the Chamber.
There was a prevailing idea in the course of yesterday that
the Bank direction were going to reduce the rate of interest ;
in consequence of which we waited until a late hour at the
Bank for a notice on the subject, which, up to the present
hour, has not made its appearance ; theref re we may conclude
that the Bank Direction will continue as heretofore the rate of
interest upon discount at 31- per cent , and upon loans 4 per cent.
We have few arrivals this morning, with the exception
of the ordinary Foreign mails. The arrival from Calcutta is
of an old date.
I ac Hamburgh mail has arrived with Papers of the 23d Oc-
tober. Aletalliquos, 106 ; Bank Shares, 1,437. It does not
bring any news of importance.
