GUIDE CARDS TO THE ANTIQUITIES IN THE
BRITISH MUSEUM.-Mr. C. Knight has just published
a collection of prints engraved on cards, and enclosed
in a commodious case, representing the various antiqui-
ties, Grecian, Egyptian, &c., to be seen in tha British
Museum. 'rosy are skilfully executed, and will be
found very useful to the visitors of that noble national
Institution.
TtfE CANADAS.-From the Army and Navy Sup-
plementary Estimates for the year ending March 31,
1841, just laid before the House of Commons, it ap-
pears that the sum of 354,746/. will probably be required
in addition to that already granted, for defraying the
expences of the service in the Canadas consequent upon
the late insurrection in the Canadas. The sum voted to
make good the excess of expenditure consequent upon the
insurrection for the year ended March 31, 1839, was
1,061,3851.. and for the year endineslarch, 31, 1840,
was 553,000/., making, with the vote for 1840.41,
altogether 1.969,131/.
TRAFALGAR SQUARE.-The estimate of the amount
required to be voted in the year 1840, to complete the
laying out the area of Trafalgar-square, and just laid
before Parliament, is 5,0001.
Parliamentary Electors in Cities and Boroughs, enti-
tled under the Reform Act, will lose their vo'es for this
next year, unless they pay on or before the 20th day of
July all the poor's rates (and window tax, it any) pay-
able from them in respect of their premises previously
to the 6th day of April. Country voters must send in
their claims on or before the 20th day of July.
INDIAN MAILS.--The following is the explana-
tory statement (published with the Supplementary Navy
Estimates) respecting the accelerated conveyance of
the Indian mails to and from England and Alexandria-.-
By the contract about to be entered into (for the per-
formance of which, for seven months, from Ist Septem-
ber to 31st March next, the sum of 21 6001. is inserted
in the present estimate the packets arc to leave Fal-
mouth on the Ist of every month, and to remain at
Malta 26 hours to receive the letter-bag through Mar-
seilles, which leaves London on the 4th of every month.
The outward passage from Falmouth to Alexandria is,
in ordinary cases, to be performed in 364 hours, or 15
days and 4 hours ; and the homeward passage from
Alexandr:a to Falmouth is to be performed in 391
hours, or 16 days and 7 hours, including all stoppages.
NAVAL AND MILITARY COMMISSION.-Explan-
atory Statement, showing in detail the additional
expense of the increase of pay to Naval Officers, THE STAGE, BOTHBEFORE AND BEHIND
rroposed by the Naval and Military Commission, THE CURTAIN, BY ALFRED BUNN.-This is a work which
founded upon the number of ships in commission on tne will unquestionably have an immense circulation, as it presents

Id A LF-PAST ONE.

The British Market has continued firm during the
morning, and several small purchases of Consols have
been made, which has caused a good money market. In
the Forei,?n market a Bale took place of 45,003 Spanish,
which at first rather damped the price, since which a re-
action took place, and Spanish Active has again improved.
Consols may be quoted at present 92k 4 for the opening,
nmey, 92+ ; Exchequer Bills lower. 32 30 prem. ; In-
dia Bonds 2 4 prem. ; Bank Stock 173 f ; India Stock 252.
