Cape of Good Rope papers to the 30th June have been
received, which state that the rains have been universal
throughout South Africa. Even the countries on the
other side of the Orange River have been favoured with
an abundant supply; an the colony is in full prospect of
another abundant harvest.
Excepting some trifling thefts, the intelligence from
the eastern tl•ontier possesses nothing of particular inte-
rest ; 'generally, everything is in a very peaceable and,
promising state.
From Port Nepaul and the emigrant farmers we have
heard nothing for a considerable time.
" LE-GISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.
" In the Gazette: of yesterday, among the Municipal
Notices, appears this one :
" A meeting of Commissioners Wardmasters, will be
held on Friday, the 23d of July, 1841, for the purpose of
considering the propriety of petitioning the Home Go-
vernment to grant to this Colony the boon of a Repre-
sentative Legislative Assembly, and, if approved, of de-
termining upon the necessary steps to be taken.
" By Order of the Commissioners,
" P. J. DENYSSEN, Secretary."

The Hamburgh mail, with letters and papers of Toes-
.ay's date, has arrived. Exchange comes higher ; Gold
he same as before.

The duty on Foreign Corn Lis now 6e. Bd. per quarter,
and next week is expected to see its lowest, wken, no
doubt, most of the speculators will clear it for home
consumption. In this way about a million of
quarters may be available for consumption, so
that prices may be expected to decline.
Such a supply as this, however, will not be more

than adequate to our wants, and .we may even require
more between this and next autumn, as stocks of old
grain are low, and the crops will, no doubt,
be slightly deficient. It is the near approabh of
the 4th of the month, and the payments for these
foreign supplies, which no doubt cause the present
tightness of the Money Market, and to which
the measures of the Bank of England, in
the extension of discount accommodation, will
afford no more relief than is absolutely required.
The Corn Market to-day. is heavy, the supplies of fo-
reign being very large, viz. 52,000 quarters.
