MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS•

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The mercantile accounts by the overland mail are de-
cidedly in no respect flattering. Every where the mar-
luts are suffering from the effects of a long-continued
cessation in the demand for, and a consequent accumu-
lation in the stocks of, imported goods. The supplies of
merchandize in China are described as being immense.
The India markets are acted upon of course by the state
of those in the mother country, where its staples have

long ruled low.
This afternoon there was much buoyancy evinced in
the Foreign Exchanges. Bills at three months were
drawn on the leading continental cities, at about the
following rates :—Paris 25f. 62c. to 67l c. ; Amsterdam,
12 41 to 5 ; Antwerp, 12 31 ; Frankfort, 150 ; Ham-
burgh, 13 101 to 11 ; and Trieste, 9 57 to 59.
The Funds still wear every appearance of firmness,
although money is worth currently .5 per cent. Con-
sols realized 891 to 898 for the opening, ex.-div. ; Ex-
chequer Bills realized 9s. to 12s. premium ; Bank Stock
rose 1 per cent., viz. to 169 and 1692 ; the Reduced
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 99 to 8 ; and the
Three per Cent. Annuities were worth 891 to 90. India
Bonds were at par to 3s. premium.
The Peninsular Stocks were rather drooping, but the
South American Securities rallied a little. Spanish Ac-
tive Bonds were at 21k, and Portuguese New 32 and
318. Brazil Stock was heavy at 68. Belgian Bonds
were marked 101, and Dutch Five per Cents. 1001. Co-
lombian brought 208 to 21, and Buenos Ayres 201, being
rather improved quotations.
There was not much done in Railway Shares. Great
Western brought 27 to 261 ; the Fifths, 6 ; and the
London and Birmingham, 69 prem. Brighton were 3
to 3i : Manchester and Leeds, 171 ; Midland Counties,
111 ; and Birmingham and Derby 39 discount ; National
Provincial Bank of England, prem.

We have the arrival of a Brazil mail this morning by her
Majesty's packet magnet, as well as a packet from Mexico by
the k'igeon ; the former mail having about 30,0001. on freight,
and the latter 1,115,000/. in dollars, part of which, to the
amount of 9,VS dollars, is for the Mexican dividends. The
Magnet sailed from Rio. Janeiro May 7, Bahia May 15, and
Pernambuco May 21 : the Pigeun sailed from Vera Cruz
May 3, Tampico May 8, and Havannah May 27.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY I.—The business
in the Cotton Market to-day has been animated, and the de-
mand for the trade still continues brisk. The sales are 5,000
bales, to consumers.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JULY I.—We have had a
more extended business in the Share Market to• day, but there
has been no improvement in the prices. Grand Junction Half-
shares, 101 ; Great Western, Fifths, 11 ; London and Bir-
mingham, 32/. Share=, 53i; London and South Western,
Tenths, 184 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 22a ; North
Union, 80i.
111ANenzsTza STOCK E ' XCHANGE JULY I.—Not much
business doing here to-day—prices firm.—Manchester and
Leeds, 52 to 52k; Manchester and Birmingham, 23 to 23k;
North Midlands, 68 to 68. i ; London and Birmingham, 158 to
159 ; Liverpool and Manchester, 200 ; Bank of Manchester, 6.

We have received the Rio Commercial List of the sth May
The Market was not animated, the business done was never.
theless to an average amount, whilst the quantity of goods
received was moderate.
ExroaTs.—This branch of commerce was exceedingly dull
throughout the month, and, except in Coffee, the transactions
possessed a very limited interest.
MONEY MARKET.—For discounts during the first fifteen days
of the month, there existed some little tightness in the Money
Market ; nevertheless, at 9 per cent., money could be found
on first-rate paper. Since the;•l7th, 10 to 12 per cent. had
been the current rates, and, in the negotiation of Bills of Ex-
change, even higher rates have been submitted to, in order to
obtain money.
The repeated and continued calls for discount on the part of
the Government, acts, to a certain extent, as a drain upon the
market, but the wants of the Treasury, and the consequences of
them, are fearfully magnified. In the opinion of the moneyed inte-
rest his Excellency the Minister of Finance is positively apprehen-
sive the moneyed interest will not part with their capital, and has
invited some of our leading capitalists and merchants to a con-
ference, to take place to-day, for the purpose of considering
the most eligible manner of supplying the means required for
the public service, without detriment to the commercial body.
EXCHANGE.—AIthough the amount of business done during
the month has not been considerable, the fluctuations have been
great and rapid.
On London the opening rates were 30 to 30i, and the Ex-
change remained flat, with little doing until the 13th and 14th,
when at 304 and 30i several sums were negotiated.
On the 19th a rise of a, occurred, bias having on that day
been passed both at 30i and 31 until the 23d ; there was
scarcely a transaction on that day, 31 to 311/2 were the ex-
treme rates ; on the 27th the market closed flat, at 31 ; on
the 28th bills were passed at 304, on the 29th 301/ and 304,
and on the 30th, after having been done at 304, the closing
rate was 30i.
The transactions in specie have not been to any extent.
The conference between his Excellency the Minister of Fi-
nance and the merchants and capitalists took place on the Ist
instant. His Excellency stated the estimated deficit of the
Treasury during the months of May, June, and July, to be
2,400,000 milreis, in which amount was included 1,000,000
milreis. He told the meeting that he thought it ad-
visable to make use of both the milreis at his dis-
posal, for the purpose of meeting the deficit, viz., to
issue both Stock and Treasury Bills, the latter to a less
amount than was now in circulation.
OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.—The Legislative Assembly
was opened on the 3d inst., by his Imperial Majesty Don
Pedro 11.
The following is an extract of the speech :
" 1 have much pleasure in finding myself amongst you. The
Imperial throne is never so dignified as when surrounded by
the representatives of the nation.
" Desirous that the act of my coronation be rendered more
solemn by your presence, I have commanded that it take place
during the present session.
It is gratifying to me to be enabled to inform you that per-
fect amity and good understanding subsists between Foreign
Powers and the Empire ; these I shall endeavour to strengthen
so far as I can consistently with the interests of the nation and
the dignity of my Crown. I have received from these Powers
the most flattering solicitations upon having assumed the exer-
cise of prerogatives conferred upon me by the Constitution.
" I see with extreme pain the continuance of the civil war of
Rio Grande de Sul. Of the state of ether provinces of the
empire you will be informed by the Minister of Justice, and I
must call your attention to the necessity of a Council of State,
whom I may. consult upon all important questions.
" Sly Ministers will each in his report represent to you those
matters which are connected with their respective departments.
"DON PEDRO 11.,
" Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil."
We have received Buenos Ayres papers to the 18th April.
The infernal machine continues to be a prolific theme of
congratulation from every quarter to General Rosas on the late
providential escape of himself and daughter. The fatal box
was stated to have been forwarded from Monte Video by M.
Leite, the Portuguese Consul-General.
The highest rate of exchange upon England during the week,
4 prem.
We have received Sydney papers to the 12th Feb. The
price of flour was reduced from 261. to 211. a ton on Saturday,
supposed to be in consequence of the extensive importations
from foreign ports.
We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date.
BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, JUNE 29.—The National Funds
have not varied since yesterday. The actions of the Society of
Commerce are more in demand ; Ardoin's is more firm.
By the Hamburgh mail which arrived last night, of the 29th
June, we have received the papers of the same date, bringing
the exchange upon London at 13 5 ; same upon last arrival ;
Gold 429, also the same ; Metal 106% • Bank Actives 1.663.

Accounts from Monte Video, of the 23d of April, state that a
Deputation, from Paraguay, had been sent to the Governor of
the province of Currintas. The object of it was not known,
but it was supposed that this first step of amity, from a Re.
public that had just proclaimed itself free, will had to im-

tween the naval forces of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video.

LITERATURE.

BRITISH FARMER'S MAGAZINE.
New Series. .No. 18.
Ridgway and Sons, Piccadilly.
"The use of water to vegetation," forms a use-
ful paper, confessing with Pinder, that it is the
best of the elements. Experiments from Hel-
mont, Davy, Berthollet, and Thompson, judi-
ciously illustrate the subject, and reminiscences
from the " river of Eden," to the water-meadows
of Hampshire, appear collated. " Morton on
Soils," contains some good sftgestive improve-
ments. "The Naturalization of Peruvian Sheep,"
is a memorial showing that the Alpaca is capable
of being acclimated and kept on the mountains
and waste lands of this kingdom. The highlands
present excellent rearing spots.

PAUL'S LETTERS TO HIS KINSFOLK-
TALES OF A GRANDFATHER-ROB ROY
-CHIVALRY, ROMANCE, AND THE

DRAMA. Cadell, Edinbuyh, 1541.
These re-issues ofSi r Walter Scott's prose works,
which appear monthly, deserve all the popu•
larity which they have acquired. Nothing can
be more elegant than the Thodo of their getting-
up; their size, too, which is that of royal octavo,
is exceedingly convenient; and their uncommon
cheapness—for each Part, though containing the
substance of an ordinary volume, costs only half-
a-crown—places them within reach of readers of
the most limited means. Thousands will now be-
come acquainted with Scott's delightful writings,
who before knew little more of him than that
he was the most successful author of his day.

As the present is the first Number of this
Magazine, and as the editor candidly confesses
in his preface that it was got up in a hurry, we
shall riot press too hardly upon it, but simply
content ourselves with the expression of a hope
that the next Number will evince greater care
and diligence. This work is conducted by the
classical and medical students of King's College,
with the entire concurrence of the Principal and
Professors.

HALL'S IRELAND, Part 9.
How and Parsons, London, 1841.
The first volume of this clever work is now
comp!eted, and. has justified the prediction we
hazarded, on reading the first Part, that it would
speedily become a favourite with a large class of
English and Irish readers. Its success, observes
the Editor in his preface, has been far greater
than they could have ventured to anti2ipate—
which we are glad to learn, for the local infor-
mation it conveys is varied and interesting, and
the embellishments are remarkable, not only for
their number, but also for their excellence. In
the Part befOre us there is a highly finished map
of the counties of Wicklow, Carlow, and Wex-
ford ; and a beautiful sketch, cleverly engraved
by Hinchcliff, from an original design by Cres-
wick, of the Rapids of the Shannon, in the neigh-
bourhood of Castle Connell. The literary por-
tion of the. Part is chiefly devoted to descriptions
of the county of Carlow, and simple, familiar tales
illustrative of the habits of its peasantry.

MOORE'S POETICAL WORKS. No. J.
Longman, London, 1841.
The present volume consists almost wholly of
satirical and humorous poems, many of which
made their first appearance in the Times, when
they excited, and deservedly, very general atten-
tion. We have already expressed our opinion of
Mr. Moore's powers as a squib writer. In this pe-
culiar and difficult walk, he has long been, and
is long likely to be, unrivalled. His satire has a
lightness and laughing good nature about it that
must go far to conciliate even the parties whom
it holds up to ridicule. Moreover, it never
misses its aim—never falls short of the mark—
but goes direct home. As a poet, Moore has his
equals, nay, his superiors; as a wit and humou-
rist, he stands at the head of his class. From his
Preface to the present volume, we quote an
anecdote or two referring to the late Lord Hol-
land—one of the most accomplished of scholars,
and the most cordial, unaffected, and single-
minded of men :

Lord Holland himself, in addition to his higher intellectual
accomplishments, possessed in no ordinary degree the talent of
writing easy and playful vers de societe ; and among the in-
stances I could give of the lightness of his hand at such trifles,
there is one no less characteristic of his good-nature than his
wit, as it accompanied a copy of the octavo edition of Bayle,
which, on hearing me rejoice one day that so agreeable an au-
thor had been at last made portable, he kindly ordered for me
from Paris.
So late, indeed, as only a month or two before his Lordship's
death, lie was employing himself, with all his usual cheerful
eagerness, in translating some verses of Metastasio; and occa,
sionally consulted both Mr. Rogers and myself as to differen
readings of some of the lines. In one of the letters which
receives! from him while thus occupied, I find the following post
script:—

"'Tis thus I turn th' Italian's song,
Nor deem I read hissneaning wrong.
But with rough English to combine
The sweetness that's in every line,
Asks for your Muse, and not for mine.
Sense only will not quit the score ;
We must have that, and—little More."
He then adds, " I send you, too, a melancholy epigram oi
mine, of which I have seen many, alas, witness the truth :
" A minister's answer -is always so kind!
I starve, and he tells me he'll keep me in mind.
Half his promise, God knowsovould my spirits restore ;
Let him keep me—and, faith, I will ask for no more."

There are here not less dian four engravings,
not one of which but is finished off with neatness
and elegance of touch. The best, as a work of
art, is the " Deer Stealer," which is a very
spirited print, with a picturesque back-ground,
and a wild, stormy sky hanging over the land-
Ecape. Among the literary contents, we find
accutw e and copious intelligence respecting all
the field sports of the month; and under the
head
." Irish Sporting Melange," the following
amusing anecdotes of the present chivalrous and
eccentric Marquis of Waterford :
Mr. K—, of G—, was one night roused from his bed
by a loud knocking at his hall door. As Whitefeet or
Terry Alts rarely are so polite as to intimate their pre-
sence by knocking at the door, Mr. K— instantly opened
a window commanding the lawn in front, and saw by
glimmering moonlight a carriage-and-four drawn up at
the entrance ; he inquired " Who goes there ?"
" You have got a horse to sell ?"
" I have."
" Well, I'm come to buy him."
Mr. K— now recognised the voice. " If your Lord•
ship will take a bed in my house, you can see him in the
morning, for it is now near one o'clock, and my servants
are asleep."
" No, thank you," persisted the Marquis ; if you wish
to sell, let me have a look at him now—as good a time
as any other."
Mr. IC— had no option ; so he knocked up his groom,
hastily dressed himself, opened the door, and the party
proceeded to the stable.
" Put a saddle and bridle on that nag, my lad, and
lead him out."
The groom obeyed the imperative command, and the
owner of 100,0001. per annum sprang on the:back of the
strange horse in the dark. He cantered and trotted him
up and down. " What's at the end of your lawn, Mr.
?" demanded his Lordship.
" A good stiff ditch," was the answer. •
" Have you any objection that I ride this horse at it ?"
" Not the least : if your Lordship is not afraid of your
neck, I have no fear for my horse."
The stride of the (no doubt) astonished hunter was
heard in the quiet night, and his leap up and off the
bank. • In a minute the bold rider returned.
" What's the price of your horse, Mr. K— ?"
" One hundred guineas."
The money was paid, the horse delivered to a groom,
and the cortege drove off in little more time than I have
taken to narrate the story, and Mr. IC— returned to his
bed wondering at the Marquis of Waterford!
The trick he played off on one of his visitors at Cur-
raghmore was comical enough. The gentleman sported
a very handsome gig and black horse, which were given
in charge to the Marquis's groom, and, on being told his
Lordship was at home, was shown into the library.
So

was nearly exhausted, the _Marquis came in, with a thou-
sand apologies for his delay, and after a visit of some
duration the visitor ordered his gig.
" Your horse is a white one ?" said the Marquis.
" No, my Lord, a black one !"
" You must be mistaken," responded his Lordship ;
" for, as I passed the yard, the only horse I saw in a gig
was a white one."
Lo'

" Then it was not mine," replied the other.
" Now, then," said his Lordship,river " we shall see

his Lordship to the chagrined visitor, " in persisting that
your horse was a black one !

M. BERRYER, SENIOR.
PARIS, JULY I.—The shafts of Death have
been rapid of execution this last seven-night in
Paris. They have struck mortally two noble
hearts within eight-and-forty hours of each
other, stopping the tongue of eloquence, and
quieting for ever the busy mechanism of the law-
yei 's brain. One day alone and its concurrent night
had beheld the death-shadow on the face of M.
Gamier Pages, before funeral plumes were rust-
ling impatiently for the talented Legitimist De-
puty, M. Berryer, senior, and within these few
days he has been coffined, hearsed, and sepul-
chred.
But the memory of M. Berryer is not to be
shut up within the narrow chambers of the cata-
comb, or the fame of his good actions to be clois-
tered like his mortar ashes in a burial urn or
vault. If history have not yet writ records of
him, yet, better than her cold and inanimate
page, there are at this moment living in France
many warm and glowing witnesses who can
speak in no measured terms of the benefits which
he has eternally heaped upon them and their
families by his righteous vindication of their
wrongs. His whole life was passed in this praise-
ful duty, and if the doing good upon earth be,
as all just men suppose, the guarantee for accep-
tance in heaven, Berryer's reception will not be
unseraphic, or his reward of little price.
M. Berryer's eminence at the French bar was
great and equably sustained, while his oratory,
depending on no adventitious circumstances,
which of themselves often lend display to a man's
utterance, was orderly, powerful, and luminous.
Better dialectician, perhaps, stood not at the
bar, and his penetration upon points of the ab-
strusest nature, was unsurpassable. He pierced into
the heart of false argument like a poniard, and
brought out upon its steel-point the peccant lie
which sophistry and plausible rhetoric had
shamefully striven to conceal. No orator of the
capital was so dreaded, because none was so just
or true. Few, perhaps, at this distance of time,
remember the first cause upon which he was en-
gaged, the peculiarity of the circumstances con-
nected with which, no less than.his fine ability
on the occasion, brought him brightly at once
upon the legal platform. It was in the case of
a splendid sapphire, which a princess of
Sinde might have coveted as a gem for her
bracelet or brow. Berryer had in this to combat
with most truculent knaves, and the wily accu-
sations which he had to repel as counsel for
the vendor, were strange and almost unparalleled. i
The next case which added to his fame was that
of the Mayor d'Anvers, when he strung the si-
news of his defence to so matchless a pitch of
violence against the Imperial tyranny, and did
all in the cause which he stood for as advocate
that it was possible for little less than despera-
tion to do. At this period lie entered the publishing
world, putting forth a memoir entitled, "Effects of
the Military Convention of July 3, and the Treaty
of November 1815, relative o the accusation of
Marshal N ey,"—a pamphlet-tshaped work, which
which was altogether remarkable for its strong
dialectics and great erudition. Invested during
many years with the charge of defending the in-
terests of those subjects who belong to neutral
powers, M. Berryer developed in these causes
the great principles of public claims and the rights
of nations. He rendered himself equally signal in
the affair of the infants Montebello(Lannes);where
he pleaded for the minor of the first marriage.
Perhaps his final piece of pleading was never
surpassed by even his earlier efforts, when his
youth was fresh and vigorous, and the fire-blood
of opening manhood ran in his bold veins. On
this occasion he stood as defender of Fauche-
Borel; the antagonist with whom he had to
wrestle was Perlet, and gladiatorially he did
his work. In this extraordinary process, he
laid. bare with keen anatomic knife the ag-
of Perlet, and never was
gravating infamy
a finer contrast made than when he set the
dark heinousness of the latter in opposi-
sition to the frankness and loyalty of Fauche-
Borel. From the Grand Master of Malta he in
his later days received the venerable insignia of
that order, and its cross suspended on his breast
served to show the honourable recompense he
had met with, after consecrating his time and
powers to the interests of that august order.
How goodly an image of him has risen up in the
person of Berryerfi/s, his son, is well known.
Ile is likely to perpetuate his father's fame no
less than histowP,
own, and his excellent pleading for
Generals Debelle and Cambronne with the
position which he on that occa-
sionfor the latter, asserting that his
astue
assumed
client, having then ceased to he a Frenchman by
the treaty of Fontainebleau, was thereby- able to
against France in obeying his Sove-
afor the time (viz. the Emperor of the Isle
el.:7E1111)a), showed him to be no less ingenious
than subtle.
France has good reason to be thankful, and at
ihe.same time proud, that Heaven on removing
