MONEY AND CITY NEWS.

(FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.)
TIMES.—The funds were rather more buoyant to-day.
Various purchases of money stock had the effect of reducing
the continuation on Consols, so that at one time they were 93-k
buyers, both for Money and Account ; they closed, however,
931 to 93-i fir Money, and for Account at 934 to 94. Bank
Stock was 2031 to 2041 ; India Stock recovered to 261 to 262.
Exchequer Bills were 645. to 665. premium.
Some reaction in prices took place in the Foreign Market.
Spanish Active, with the May Coupons, improved to 174 to
17i1 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. to 31i to 311 ; the Three
per Cents. to 204 to 201 ; Brazilian to 77- to 77i- ; Mexican
were 21 to 21,i; Colombian, 221 to 23k ; Peruvian, 16 to
17 ; Dutch Twa-and-a- Half per Cents., 531 to 53k ; the Five
per Cents., 1001- to 1001.
Railway Shares remain with little variation. Great Western
were 123- to 13i ; Londou and Birmingham, 84 to 86 prem. ;
Brighton, 2 to 14 discount.
Accounts from St. John's, New Brunswick, state that the
Commissioners appointed by the State of Maine, accom-
panied by surveyors, were to start from Bangor on the 21st
ult., for the purpose of running the north-eastern boundary
line.

Sydney papers to the 8;h of July have been received. Some
uneasiness prevailed in the colony on account of the manifesta-
tion of hostile dispositions on the part of the aborigines. It
was the intention to establish posts at convenient distancus
along the road to the settlement, so as to k ep ~pelt the com.
munications. It is announced that the Gov, raor had the
most positive :nstructions to " treat the atviriginal natives as
subjects of her Majesty," and by no means to authorize the
levying of war against them, or to sanction any proceedings of
indiscriminate retaliation.

These journAs cm.tain extracts from the South Australian
papers. Ta►at colony is represented in an unfavourable light,
and the Sydney writers observe tnat they are disposed to think
that " colonization bubble" would burst ere long. The co-
lony, it is asserted, was a prey to " jobbers" both there and at
home. These statements, it may be observed, must be ad-
mitted with a certain qualification, as probably exaggerated b)
the feeling of jealousy with which the new colony was re-
garded at Sydney.
The Goshawk, chartered by the South Australian Com-
pany, had arrived at Nepean Bay on the 14th of May from
Hamburgn, which she left in December, and the. Downs on
the 47h of Januar). She had on board two passtigers only,
and the servants of the Comp my. The cargo consisted of
" provisions only," it was emphatically remarked. It was
stated that her Majes-y's ship Pelorus was about to sail for
that place with t,,e Governor and various officials on board,
f,r the purpose of seizing the ship and cargo, because landing
at a port not recognized by him. Mr. Bromley, protector of
the aborigines, had been found drowned in the Torrens.

CHRONIC L E.—The fee:ing altogether at the Stock Ex-
change has undergone a decided improvement, and although
the rally in the prices is not important, there are symptoms of
material amendment both in the British and Foreign Funds.
Further intelligence from Canada is looked for with the ut-
most anxiety, and much will depend upon the tenor of it ; the
general impression in the City being, however, that it will be
more satisfactory.
There is nothing new whatever to notice in respect to the
Share Market, its general appearance as well as quotations
being the same as yesterday. The last prices were—Birming-
ham (old), 84 to 86 prem. ; ditto (new), 241 to 25i prem. ;
Southampton (old), 46 to 47 per share; ditto (new), 21 to
22 prem. ; Great Western, 12) to 13i prem. ; North Mid-
land, 2 to 3 prem ; Leeds and Manchester, 16 to 18 prem. ;
Birmingham and Derby, 9 to 8 dis. ; Brighton, 2i to 1i dis. ;
Blackwall, 1k to 1 dis. ; and Greenwich, 3} to 2i dis.
British Iron Shares are 9i to 101- per share.

POST.—From the publication of the quarterly returns of
the Private and Joint Stock Banks, as it appeared in the
Gazette of last evening, it is shown that the issues of the Pi i -
vate Banks of circulation have decreased in the amount of
299,436/., whilst those of the Joint Stuck Banks of circulation
have increased in the sum of 81,105/. ; but altogether this re.
turn shows a total decrease of the circulation of local paper to
the extent of 380.541/.

The colonial a,r:vals of this day have not been very impor-
tant, but we have dates from St. John's, New Brunswick, to
the 29th of September, and from Sydney, New South Wales,
to the 7th of July. From t'.e former it would appear that the
much talked of boundary question was, or is, about to be ac-
tively discussed, as Commissioners with Surveyors, &c., wet,.
to leave Bangor, N._w 13ru,,swiek, on the 21st ult„ with the
intention of rutting the boundary line in the district of M tine.
The capital of the Comm,rcial Bank of New Brunswick had
been advanced to 300,0001. currency, by the power of a new
charter.

HE EZ ALD.—Files of Sydney papers have been received
at the North and S,uth American Coffee House and othcr
public establishments in the city to the 7th of July inclusive.
From these accounts we learn that the colony was in a very
prosperous condition, although in a few instances the abori-
gines had made serious incursions on the prorierty of the
settlers in th, South, whilst the district of the Upp,r Hunter
was infested by gangs of armed bushrangers, and in conse-
quence of the aggr, ssiong of the nativei it appears that the
settlers had b. eu compelled to abandon their stations. and
leave their flocks and herds to the marauding mercy of the
aborigines. The settles had presented a petiti.in to the Go-
ri.or, setting forth their grievances, and praying for better
prot,ction.

The L. gislative Council had been deliberatiog on some pro-
posed amendments in the law of debtor and creditor, and a
Bill for the abolition of Imprisonment for Debt ; and this
Chamber had been opened to the public during the debates.
It appears, also, that the enormous rates of discount and inte-
rest charg(d upon all monetary transactions in Port Philip
attracted the attention of the Government, and, at their ,ug-
g stion, a director and subordinate officeis of the B of
Auvral,a had sailed for that port in the Ranger cutter, carry
in with them 3,0001 in notes and specie, with a view to es-
a branch ba..k, and to remedy that pressure upon the
commercial community. During the period between the 2d
of June and the Gth July, it appears that upwards of 800 cmi
grants had arrived out, and the Mary Thompson, which sailed
from Plymouth on the 98th March, with 238 etniorints,
reached Sydney on the Ist of July, after it "vcrj age attended
with much sickness, thirty persona having died from typhus
fever and three from small-pox. Wheat was ss. 6d. to 6s. per
bushel, and flour of the first quality was 193. p. ,r ovt.i and se-
conds 13s.
