LOWESTOFT.

The grand jury of Norwich gave a return dinner
to their Sheriff, R. Chamberlain, Esq., on Tuesday
evening, at the Royal Hotel, in this town. This is
the first time that the good people of Norwich have
dined publicly at Lowestoft, or at least on so grand
a scale as on the present occasion. In fact, until the
erection of the Royal Hotel, which is but just com-
pleted, there was no building capable of accommodat-
ing so great a company.
The Royal Hotel is situated on the south side of
the harbour, commanding an excellent view of the
sea, and possesses every accommodation both for
travellers and residents. A fine terrace or esplanade,
about a third of a mile, runs before it, along the
beach, and numbers of handsome houses are fast
springing up around it. The situation is good, and it
bids fair soon to become the " West-end" of Lowestoft.

The dinner was served in first-rate style, as though
Mr. Howse, the proprietor, was resolved to show to
the gentry of Norwich that Lowestoft could not
only furnish them with purer air, but also with as
good a dinner as they could get at home.
T. Keith,
Esq., the foreman of the grand jury,
presided over the company, consisting of about
eighty gentlemen, and after dinner the following
toasts were drank and duly responded to—Messrs
Reanes and Winters favouring the company with
songs between the toasts, which they executed in a very
superior style, and which gave universal satisfaction—
" The Queen"—" The Queen Dowager"—" Prince
Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the
Royal Family"...-."
Rev. C. Morse and the Clergy of Norwich"—
C--_,, The Army and Navy"—" The
" The Sheriff"—,, The Mayor of Norwich"—The
William Foster and the Electors of
Norwich"—" Mr. Newell and the Eastern Counties
Railway Company"_,, The Under Sheriff"—,. The
Ladies."

The CHAIRMAN having complimented Mr. Howse
on the arrangements of the hotel, and expressed his
satisfaction with the dinner, the company broke up
about half-past ten, and a special train being in
readiness through the kind attention of Mr. Newall,
the Norwich superintendent of the Eastern Counties
Railway Company, and the prompt management of
Mr. Waters, of the Lowestoft station, they returned
to Norwich in high spirits, reciting their speeches
o'er again.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THRE.E.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
5,000 bales, including 200 Pernams, at sjd. to 64ti.; 100
Egyptian, at 6id. to 7d.; 300 Surats, at 41 to 40.; and
the remainder American. The market was not active,
and closed tamely, and in American descriptions buyers
could purchase more easily.—Railway Shares were very
depressed, and prices declined very considerably.
The Corn market is without alteration this morning.
The markets for Colonial and Foreign Produce have
been moderately supplied this week, and the article
which best maintains its value is still Coffee, although
buyers keep back on account of the enhanced terms de-
manded. Rice is heavy, partly on account of the dull-
ness in grain, and Brandy has still an extensive sale,
owing to the prevailing epidemic. Cotton is held well,
with less doing, however, and dye stuffs are quiet. The
public Indigo sales being near, private business is
checked. The Wool sales offer a very large supply of
Colonial, and will continue for some time. The Java
Sugar auctions in Holland have gone off at full rates.
We have no news yet of the Hibernia steamer.
Accounts of May 2 have been received from Sydney,
and of April 20 from Port Philip. Of the Sydney im-
port market it is stated that the arrivals of the ships
Caldew and Taglioni had supplied a large quantity of
merchandise of a very varied assortment, nearly the
whole of which had been quitted at very extreme prices,
and yet the demand was only partially supplied. The
inquiry for goods for export (to California, we presume)
is described as being so heavy as to leave the colonial
market barely supplied for home consumption. This is
a very different state of things to what has existed at
Sydney for some time past, and the danger is that the
California trade ere this has been overdone.
According to the official statement of the average lia-
bilities and assets, &c., of the New South Wales banks
for the quarter ended the 31st March, it would appear
that the total of the former was 1,402,1631., and of the
latter 2,347,4921. The notes in circulation amounted to
about 246,0001., and the notes and bills discounted with
other debts due to the banks, made up the sum total of
1,624,760/. The paid-up capital is nearly two millions,
and the average dividend six per cent., taking the four
banks comprised in the return, and allowing for the
Bank of Australasia, which, owing to its law-suits, losses,
&c., paid no interest to its proprietors, but had a reserved
profit of 53,4511.
The transportation question was becoming more diffi-
cult than ever, for Sir Charles Fitzroy, thinking to re-
lieve the towns of the pollution of convict immigrants,
was sending them up the country, and this had precisely
the effect of preventing free immigrants from going into
the bush. A penal settlement for persons sentenced in
the colony, was proposed to be established.
The Port Philip accounts state that the vintage on the
Barrabool hills was ripe, and that the wine-presses were
in full operation. The vine had suffered, however, to
some extent by the hail-storms. One proprietor, M.
Belperoud, had 32 acres of vineyard, containing upwards
of 20,000 plants, and about 400 varieties of the vine.
Cape of Good Hope papers of July the 10th state
that one of the largest meetings ever held in the co
lony had taken place for the purpose of protesting
against the introduction of transports. The farmers
from all parts attended, and the exasperation (ac-
cording to the editor of the South African Advertiser)
was very great. So strong, indeed, was the feeling,
that a vacancy having occurred in the legislative
council, it was boldly asked, " Would any colonist ven-
ture to accept it ? To offer it to a gentleman would be
an insult." The Colonial Secretary, Mr. Montague, had
been obliged publicly to declare, that he had not
encouraged the introduction of transports. All the
magistrates threatened to resign, the banks refused
loads to persons employing convicts, and the unofficial
members of the Council intended to give up their posts,
so that not a single estimate could be legally passed for
the year 1850.
The Hamburgh mail of Tuesday brings the rate of
exchange on London firm at 13 10, bills being in re-
quest. Stocks and Shares were generally flatter. The
Grain Markets were flat. At St. Petersburgh on the sth
inst. not much was doing in exports. Freights were
duller, and with a change of wind very numerous arri-
vals of shipping were expected.
The reports from the other continental towns are of
nearly the previous tenor. At Rome affairs are very
unsettled.
The Funds are heavy again, and business now is
more than ever circumscribed by the closing of the transfer
books. Consols have been 921 f for Money, and 92i f
for Account. Exchequer-bills are dull at 365. to 395.
premium. The New Three-and a. Quarter per Cents.
have been 94, with the dividend for money.
The settlement of the account in the Foreign Market
passes off without difficulty. Mexican Bonds have been
27i to 28, and Equador 3i, with scarcely a bargain
doing. Brazil Bonds are at 851. Dutch Two-and-a-
Halfper Cents. have been 54i.
The market for Railway Shares is lower again, and
with an extremely limited business doing. Caledonian
have been down to 18i, though since 17i; Eastern
Counties are 7i i; Great Western are 11. worse even
than yesterday, and North-Western are down about 10s.
Midland are quoted ex-dividend. South-Eastern are
10s. cheaper. The foreign lines are quiet.
