It has been stated, on what appears good authority,
that Lord Roden is drawing a sinecure of 2,7001., one of
the old remanets of Tory Government. His Lordship is
one of the active supporters of Sir R. Inglis's visionary
scheme of taxing the people to build new churches. Has
it never struck this respectable and pious nobleman that
he might afford a good example of zeal in this holy
cause, by devoting some part of his sinecure towards
the promotion of what he deems so essential an object ?
As his son, Lord Jocelyn, is one of the Tory candidates
for Leeds, should this meet the eye of the electors,
they will probably give him a hint on the subject at the
hustings.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

Although the Stock Market was rather thinned
to-day by the attractions at Woolwich, those parties
who remained to do business seemed to entertain a better
opinion of the Market, and the consequence was an im-
provement in Consols from 894 to +, to 894 to 4. Ex-
chequer Bills of 1,0001., were firm at 6 to 8 premium,
while the Small Bills touched 10 to 12 premium. Bank
Stock was worth 168 to 169, being a rally of 4 per
Cent. India Bonds brought 1 discount to 1 premium.
South Sea Old Annuities were at 87*, the Long An-
nuities at 12 13-16, the Reduced Three and a Half
per Cents at 98* to 4, and the Three per Cent Annuities
at 894 to 4.
The same inanition was perceptible again to-day in the
Foreign Market, and the quotations evinced no symptoms
of a rally. The settlement to take place on the 30th inst.,
promises to be as unimportant as that last effected. The
New Portuguese Five per Cents. were heavy at 33 to 4,
and the Three per Cents. at 19*. Spanish Active Bonds
were dull at 22 for Money, and 224 for Account ; Mexi-
can Bonds were at 27 to 264, a slight decline ; Colom-
bian at 204 to 21 ; Chilian at 605 to 60i ; and Brazilian
at 674 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 524
to 1. and the Five per Cents. 9911 to 100.
Shares had a moderate sale at rather favourable rates,
viz., Great Western Railway, 254 to 26 ; The New, 114 ;
the Fifths, 61 ; the South Western, 144 to 154 ; the
North Midland Thirds 4- ; and the Eastern Counties
Debentures 24 premium ; Birmingham and Gloucester
were 36 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow 2 ; Brighton 6 ;
and Manchester and Leeds New, 184- discount ; British
North American Bank Shares were 3* discount, and
London and Westminster, 2 premium.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
A Lisbon mail has arrived, brought by the Tagus steamer.
The Tagus left Gibraltar on the 10th, Cadiz 11th, Lisbon
14th, Oporto 15th, and Vigo 16th. By the above arrival we
have intelligence from Lisbon of the 14th of June.. It appears
that a decree has been issued under the date of the 26th of
May, approving the conditions of the contract made between
the Government and the Confianee Company. The Company
areto furnish the Government with 4,200,000 rs. in money, and
1,200,000 in lawful papers of the debt posterior to the 31st
July, 11,33. It also appears that the project of the loan
about to be contracted between the Government and
the tobacco contract for the payment of the dividends
enters to-day;nto discussion in the Chamberof Deputies. There
is not a word respecting the treaty with England. Further
particulars will be found in another part of the paper. A list
of the new Ministry has been published.

tIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 19.—The improve-
ment of the Cotton Market still continues. We noticed to-day
the sale of 4,000 bales entirely to the trade. The prices are
firm at Friday's quotations.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JUNE I9.—A very limited
business has been transacted at the Stock Exchange this day :
—London and Birmingham Quarter Shares, 23 ; Ditto new,
24 ; London and South Western, 54.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNK .19.—Our Market
still continues depressed. London and Birmingham, 157 to
158 ; Ditto New Thirds, 24 to 2.1; ; Manchester, Bolton, and
Bury, 53i ; Manchester and Leeds, 52 to 53 ; London and
Birmingham, 23 to 23%; Bank of Manchester 6 ; South Lan-
cashire Banks, 51.

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 14th
April. These papers are entirely void of any news ; they are
filled with intelligence from England, and the Queen's
Speech.
We have also received Hobart-town Papers to the 20th of
February.
" We have received advices from New Zealand to the 2d of
February from the Company's settlement, from which place
the Lord Sidmouth has brought up 50 emigrants."
We learn from Havanilla that the natives, in the event of
any land being taken away from the original English pur-
chasers, by Captain Hobson's Commission, are determined to
resume it, and arc preparing to defend their rights by force
of arms. They have collected a great quantity of fire-arms
and ammunition ; the natives still retain the best land,
nor will they sell it except at the most advantageous rates,
and they will not work without payment in dollars. The na-
tives begin to look with jealousy upon the fresh arrivals of
English intruders.
We have been favoured with a letter from a gentleman in
Port Nicholson, which gives a far mere favourable view of the
settlement, and the prospects of the country, than any we have
yet received in this colony. We shall in our next number
make some extracts.
Portz Pm LI P. —During the year 1840 the number of vessels
anchored in the harbour of Port Philip has been of such a
magnitude as to be altogether unprecedented in the annals of
colonization. Exclusive of Sunday, there has been a daily
average of arrivals throughout the year to the number of 313 ;
tons 51,938.
HOBA RT Tow x, FEB. 18.—The markets have had a slight
tendency to, decline : since our last report considerable quan-
tities have arrived, some of which went off on the wharf at
Bs. 9d. Wheat Bs. 6d. to 9s. 3d. Oats 53. to ss. 6d. Barley,
English, ss. to ss. fid. Hay 7s. to 7s. 6d. per cwt. New
Hay 41. 15s. to Si. 10s. per ton. Potatoes 14s. to 16s. per cwt.

By the Hamburgh mail arrived of the 18th June, we have
received Papers of the same date, bringing the exchange upon
London 13. 5, a quarter of a shilling lower than per last ac-
count ; Gold 429 ; Metalliques 1063 ; Bank Actions 1,648.
We have received the JOU) nal of Antwerp of yesterday's date.
BOURSE OF AMSTERDATtI, JUNE 18.—Some business has
been doing in Integrals, still the prices have not varied much.
The Actions of the Society of Commerce have improved owing
to the announement of the dividend of 1840 to-day, which was
fixed at 75 florins. Accounts from Amsterdam state that
Prince Joinville will return to the Hague at the end of August;
on his marriage ith Princess Sophia, daughter of Hind
Guillaume, it is expected he will receive a marriage fortune
of 5,000,000 florins.

What with canvassing for the approaching' elections, and the
launch of that noble man-of-war, the Trafalgar, at Woolwich,
business as well as speculation in the Funds will be entirely
neglected this day. A great number of the members of the
Stock Exchange will leave soon, to be present at the launch.

Three-and-a-Half Reduced, 9SA-; Exchequer Bills, 6 8

Ilre have a great number cf ship-letters this morning, but
most of them are of old dates.
The attraction of the Trafalgar launch has thinned the City
of even some of its most business-like occupants, and thtfs
served to add to that decided appearance of dulness that has
already so long characterized allmercantile operations. Judging
from the declarations up to the present time, we are not likely to
have any very great activity in the produce markets this week.
There are further sales of Tea again to-morrow, and this

cheelci speculation in the article, and makes prices heavy.
From Liverpool it is satisfactory to learn that the Cotton
Markt't was still brisk.
Consols, Account, 89a sellers; Mexican, 27 27i; Spanish, 22i
Although there is scarcely any thing doing, the markets gene-
rah}, have a tendency upwards.

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S

FETE AT CHISWICK.

On Saturday afternoon the Duke of Devonshire gave a
splendid chjeuner at his beautiful villa at Chiswick, to her Ma-
jesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert.
It was a very select party, the invitations being limited to not
more than 120, so that the visit of the Queen may be consi-
dered as private.
The preparations, however, were governed with that princely
display whieh always accompanies the fetes of the Noble Duke.
The grounds, owing to the recent rains, were beautiful, and
the taste with which they are laid out is so well know to all the
nobility as to render a descriptive notice altogether unnecessary.
Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Albert, attended by Lady
Barham, Lady in Waiting ; Lord Poltimore, Lord in Waiting ;
the Hon. Miss Paget, Maid of Honour; Col. Wemyss, Equerry
in Waiting ; and Lord G. Lennox and Sir E. Bowater who were
in attendance on his Royal Highness Prince Albert, arrived at a
quarter past one o'clock, and on alighting from the Royal car-
riage, the Queen and Prince were received by the Duke of De-
vonshire and Duchess of Sutherland, and were conducted to
the Grand Saloon, where were the Duke and Duchess of Su-
therland, the Marquis of Stafford and the Ladies Leveson
Gower, Marquis of Normanby, Earl and Countess of Carlisle,
and Lady Mary Howard, Viscount Duncannon, Lady Polti-
more and family, Viscount Morpeth, the Earl of Burlington's
family, Lord J. Russell, with Lord Ribblesdale and family,
Viscount and Viscountess Leveson and Sir J. D'Acton, Lady
Dover with Lord Clifden and family; Lady Caroline Lascelles
and family, Lady Charlotte Greville, Mr. C. Greville, Hou.
C. C. and Lady Catherine Cavendish and family,llr. G. and
Mrs. Cavendish, Mr. R. Cavendish, Mrs. W. Cavendish,
Lady Fanny Howard, Mr. and Hon. Mrs. Brand, and other
branches of the Cavendish, Howard, and Leveson Gower
families.
The Queen and his Royal Highness partook of a sumptuous
dejeuner, consisting of the choicest delicacies, and served in a
style of great splendour.
Owing to the uncertain state of the weather, her Majesty
was unable to promenade the delightful gardens that surround
the villa, and consequently the entertainment was within doors.
At a quarter to five her Majesty and Prince Albert took
leave of the noble host, and departed with the Royal attend-
ants far Buckingham Palace, the band in the vestibule playing
the National Anthem, both on the arrival of the illustrious
visitors and on their departure:
A highly respectable assemblage congregated on each side
of the road to the Duke's mansion from Turnham-green, and
greeted the Queen and Prince with slight cheering.

It was, for some time, a generally received
opinion, that the climate and soil of South Australia
were uncongenial to the growth of wheat, barley, pota-
toes, &c. This idea, we have reason to believe, got
afloat, from the circumstance of some persons having in
the early part of the colony's existence, failed in raising
crops during the summer, and on land turned up for the
first time. The absurdity of this opinion, which was
for some time prevalent, will now become apparent to
every one who will take the trouble to ride or walk a
few miles into the country in any direction around the
capital. In the course of compiling this publication,
we have ourselves had occasion to visit most of the
settled districts in the colony, and we can affirm, from
personal observation, that most of the crops we have
seen could not be surpassed anywhere. We have seen
wheat gathered, within the last fortnight, . which will
produce fifty bushels an acre; and we believe the farmers
will bear us out in the assertion, that produce of
all grain that was sown in proper season will average
thirty bushels an acre. In many parts of the country
—in the Mount Barker district pArticniarly—the Nocci
had been put in too late; and wherever this has been
the case, the prbduce of the crops will be indifferent,
This unseasonableness of sowing is to be attributed to
the circumstance of the settlers, M almost every instenee,
not having obtained their land until about May, June,
and July. The utmost confidence, however,. exists as
to the capabilities of the soil and climate even among
those whose crops will be a partial failure this season ;
R.Tid no better proof of the existence of this confidence
can be had town the fact that almost ever y• *tau: is pre•
paring a double, many a triple and q-40:co:qpi9 qqaiit4y
of land against next seed time.—South. ifilstralion News.
