CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals thi: morning are the French' mails, and ship
letters from Riolanetio, St. Kitts, and Valparaiso.
A New Orleans Price Current, to the 22d May, has the
following remarks :
" The weather was clear and favourable to business until
yesterday; when we were visited with several showers of rain,
though hardly sufficient to lay the dust. The river is at the
same stage—one foot below high water mark.
" NEW ORLEANS MONEY MARKET.-It may be said that
money matters are now easy. The 'Banks are discounting to
a liberal extent, and long paper is negotiated with much more
facility, provided the time does not exceed six or eightmonths,
Louisiana State Bank 1231 dollars, at auction ; Bank of
Orleans 114 dollars. Exchange on London, 8,4 per cent. ;
on France, sf. 274-c. sf. 90c.
" Cotton arrived since the 13th inst.--About 11,436 bales
of Cotton cleared in the same time for Liverpool ; 5,781 bales
for Greenock ; 1,030, Havre ; 2,979. The sales since our
last repott amount to 13,000' bales, of which a considerable
portion was Tennessee and North Alabama Cottons, at a de.
cline of one per cent. on the price of last week. The ave-
rage price of round lots is 131 14 cents."
A rumour is current that in transactions in Shares, done in
the Stock Exchange, there is a rule that the seller shall trans-
fer at the price which the buyer may choose to fix. An in-
quiry into this subject is of great importance to all persons who
have transactions in Shares, as such a rule is considered of
necessity to violate truth, operate injuriously and deceptively
upon the final and bona fide purchaser, and encourage specula-
tion by intermediate agents.

The small majority that. Ministers had last night on the
Irish Church Bill, has somewhat surprised our city politicians
and speculators; but the event has not had much effect on
the Funds.

An action at present depends in the Sheriff Court,
Forfar, at the instance of a carrier in Coupar Angus, against
a farmer in that neighbourhood, for biting off his nose 1 Fifty
pounds is the amount of damages sought to be recovered for
this alleged outrage, which seems to indicate the estimated
value of a nose in Coupar Angus. When the case comes to
be decided, we shall notice the valuation put upon that im-
portant organ—Montrose Review.
STATE or WEAVING IN PERTH.--We are
happy, to have to state, that the weaving trade here is in a
more prosperous condition than it has been for many years,
and the hand-loom weavers are participating in the improve-
ment.—Glasgow Herald.

Hay harvest commenced in this neighbourhood last
week in a field at Barnhill, and the weather being on the
whole favourable, it was on Monday last in the tole. This
week cutting is pretty general, and the produce is much
heavier than could have been anticipated, previous to the late
rains ; on the whole, it is considered to be about an average
crop.—Perth Courier.

We understand that a magnolia macrophylla is in
blossom in the garden of the Hon. Heneage Legge,near Rich-
mond, and is shown by the gardener on application.
The grounds attached to the Palace at Kew, and
those in the vicinity of Virginia Water, are now accessible to
the public, pursuant to the orders of his Majesty.
SIR WALTER SCOTT.—On Saturday afternoon, at
three o'clock, a public meeting of noblemen, gentlemen, and
subscribers to the Abbotsford fund, was held at the Thatched
House Tavern, St. James's-street, for the purpose of appro-
priating the funds collected to their final object, of securing,
as far as may be possible, the estate of Abbotsford, the library,
armour, and antiquarian collections, to the family of the late
Sir W. Scott. The meeting was well attended. Lord Ma-
hon was called to the chair. The recommendation of the com-
mittee respecting the disposal of the Abbotsford subscription
having been read by the Chairman, several gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, when it was afterwards determined that
the sum subscribed, being about 7,200/. net money, be paid to
the trustees after named; Sir Walter Scott agreeing to exe-
cute a deed of entail on the estate and mansion of Abbotsford,
and of the library, antiquarian curiosities, and other objects
relating thereto, upon the descendants of his father; these
trustees applying 5,6001., or more, if necessary, of the said
sum of about 7,200/., in ischarge of the 5,000/. and interest
which with the library, antiquarian collection, and other articles
aforesaid, may be chargeable, and retaining the residue to be
applied by them, hr.,eafter, towards the payments of the he-
ritable bond of 10,0001., for which the estate is now liable,
and Sir Walter Scott executing an assignment to the same
trustees for the share of the literary property belonging to the
family to be applied to the same purpose.
A report similar to that which prevailed respecting
the plague having broken out in Tottenham-court-road, (and
which was so satisfactorily contradicted) at present exists in
the cast of London, and has excited much alarm. It appears
that a respectable surgeon of Mile end, (one of the parochial
doctors), was attacked by a malignant disease, which be states
lie contracted by attending a poor woman who suffered under
core throat. For some time his life was despaired of, but he
is now recovered. His housekeeper, however, was similarly
attacked, and she died in fifty hours. She was a fine strong
woman, 29 years of age. From these circumstances a report
was raised that the plague had broken out in the house, and
that twenty persons had died in consequence,—which is likely
not only to do considerable injury to the gentleman alluded
to, but to create alarm where there is not the slightest
foundation for it.
