RIO MONEY MARKET.

Discounts continue to rule at 6 per cent., at which
rate there has been rather more inquiry.
Exchange—The transactions have been extensive
without any alteration in the rates, the result of the
supply having been fully equal to the demand for
remittances. The prevalent rate upon London has
been 29d., bills have, however, been negotiated at
29i• to 29k, both at 60 and 90 days for direct as
well as for River Plate bills; and British Govern-
ment bills have been passed at 28, at which rate small
sums of private bills have likewise been taken; 29d.
was the closing quotation on Saturday. France, &c,-
32S and 333 have been the extremes quoted, 328 and
330 the general rates, the transactions having been to
some extent. Hamburgh—Within the last few days bills
to some amount have been taken at 612 to 615.

The united transactions since the departure of the
Tay may be estimated at 340,0001. upon London, inclu-
sive of 10,0001. taken by the treasury, 500,000 f. upon
France and Antwerp, and 350,000 mares banco upon
llainburgh.

STRANGERS IN THE NORTH.—The north has as
yet received but a thin stream of tourists. The season, so
far as it has gone, has been very dull on road, and loch, and
sea. Steamers that once were crowded at this season with
strangers from the south of Scotland and from England,
now bring along but very small companies ; and coaches
that erst were piled like huge waggons, now gallop lightly
along with may hap a few bearded visitors from the other
side of the Channel. The aggregate number of visitors up
to this period has been much under those of the last few I
years ; but, from the unwonted and prolonged gaities of the
London season, there is still a hope that the period of tou-
rists, if later, may also be more prolonged than usual, and
that the stream so small at thee beginning of the summer
may come in a flood at the close. As we expected, hundreds
who come from other lands to see the Exhibition ventured a
little further than the capital, and a large portion of them
have visited the Highlands, restoring in some measure the
balance so unfavourably depressed by the.. absence of the
English tourists. Frenchmen and Germane come in
greater numbers than our foreigners, though a few Dutch
and Belgian families, and single Italians, Spaniards, Swiss,
and Americans, have come.—lnverness Courier.
JENNY Lrsn.—The United States papers state that
Jenny Lind arrived on the 26th ult. at Niagara Falls, on a
private visit, having previously at Rochester received a party
of six Ojibbeway Indians, who at her request, sang some of
their war songs, and were repaid by the songstress warbling
the Echo and Bird songs. Jenny intended, after giving
few more concerts, to embark about the 16th instant for
Liverpool, via NeW York, a
