MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY ( THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received New Brunswick papers of the 17th of February.
They state that Molesworth, Hume, and Leader have been burnt there
in l'efßigy. These worthies were, they add, the only Members, we be-
lieve, of the present House of Commons who, in their places, in that
august assembly, could be found to take part with the Canadian rebels
and in doing so had the effrontery to assert that the Province of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia were disaffected towards the British
Government, and they were only held within allegiance to the Crown
by the presence of large military forces.

UPPER CANADA.—The Legislature of Upper Canada appears to be
acting with becoming liberality towards those brave men who took an
Lctive part against the rebels. One hundred guineas have been voted to
purchase a sword to be presented to Colonel 51. Nab, and seventy-five
guineas for a sword to be presented to Captain Drew, of the Royal Navy.
The following is the present Civil List for Nova Scotia :—Lieutenant_
Governor, 3,0001. ; Provincial Secretary, 1,000/. ; Chief Justice, 1,000/.
Puisne Judge, 1,950/. ; Attorney-General, 5001. ; Solicitor. General,
100/. ; Miss,Coxpension, 115/. ; Superintendent of Mines, 100/. ; Con.
tingencies, 1001. Total, 7,9651.

We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp of yester_
day's date. The Dutch Funds come higher :—Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 55 7-16 ; Five per Cents., 1021 ; Spanish, 19f. These papers
do not confirm the report of a definitive arrangement between the Dutch
Government and that of Belgium.

The following are the reports in the Dutch papers received at Ant-
werp of the 19th and 19th inst., in regard to the negociatlon between
Holland and Belgium. The Handelsbind does not speak any more
on the subject of the arrangement which was announced, and only rests
on the article of the exchange ; on the 19th the funds were generally
weak. The Handelshlad continues without any positive information
on the subject, and only publishes two letters from his correspondent
at the Hague, which throws but little light on the subject.
The first letter states that nothing transpires respecting the diplomatic
communication made to the Second Chamber on Tuesday last, that
great activity prevails at the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and frequent conferences are held with the King, at which the Prince
of Orange takes a part, by which it is earnestly believed that the Go-
vernment are going to take a decisive step. The second letter states
that steps are taking to bring to an issue the question of Luxembourg.
The above paper concludes by stating that our speculators arc axiom
for some confirmation (official) in respect to us; we have no further
accounts on the subject. It was only yesterday, the 18th, that an illus-
trious Diplomatic stranger set off post from the Hogue for Frankfort,
after having had, it is said, a long conference with the King.
By the foregoing article, the Editor observes, it will be seen that the
reports which were announced as being positive, caused great sensation,
but at present they are enveloped in incertitude, as we have been kept
three days in conjecture.
