that he had received a note from the clerk, stating tue

After reading the report of last week, Mr. WArra
stated that he had in the course of the morning receive
the news of the death of the rate-collector, and that ,
sum of money had been transmitted to him, Mr. ros,"ts,
~,
by that gentleman's daughter, which had been collate'
by him during the week.
A VESTRYMAN proposed the formation of a Cciritit•
tee to examine the candidates for the now vacant °,,
of rate-collector, and to recommend to the Vestry Wei,
whom they thought best fitted for that office, that t
Vestry might elect one from amongst them. bt
Another GENTLEMAN thought that this motion aigto
not to be made until the office was officially declare"
be vacant.
Mr. SOAMES thought that the statement made by Dir'
Watts was an official declaration that the office Rss
vacant.
A VESTRYMAN moved that the office be declared
vacant, and that a Committee be appointed to OEOI-
- candidates for the office.—The motion was carry'
Mr. WATTS then read the report of a Committee:Pt;
pointed on the 24th of December, 1844, to inquire_io
the necessity for causing a new curtain to be placeue
the organ-loft of All Souls Church, and also of net
for another curtain in the same church. The Coniini.„l"-d
were of opiniou that these articles were necessary,
that the cost would be about 501.
Mr. Gomm rose and said, I should very much irisllt:
ask some gentleman of the Committee, or some Pe.„',„,,
connected with All Souls Church, whether there is I'''
thing more required there ?—(A laugh.) that
A MEMBER of the Committee said that there was, -

Mr. Gomm proposed that the report be return
the Committee, in order that they might state the Dal",,
and expense of all the repairs required in the chlirch'o.
Mr. SOAMES said that in his opinion this was $ gum

the pews uncomfortable, no one would be willing to r,he
those pews, so that if the Vestry would not cause 7,,„
repairs to be made, they must part with their pe

After much discussion, Mr. Gomm's motion was cll.-

A full consideration of the speech of the King of the
French on the opening of the Chambers has resulted in a
most favourable opinion being entertained of it. France
and Great Britain in peace and amity, the best interests
of Europe are certain to be advanced.
There are dates in town frost Sydney this morning, to
the 2d August. The letters and japers are especially
barren of information of general interest, one point ex-
cepted, viz., the satisfaction produced by the accounts
that were received there of the increased demand which
exists here for the wools of Australia. Another source
of profit to the flock-masters had just been discovered,
viz., the preparation of gelatine, and the Sydney Salting
Company had received a large order fur the
Indian troops. The banks continued very cautious
in their discounts, and were apparently in a sound posi-
Advices to the 15th July, from New Zealand,
state that the deficiency in the estimates for the year
was 10,0001., but that the Governor expected a subsidy
to that amount from Englind. A house-tax was to be
imposed, but it seemed very unpopular. The customs
produced 14,0001. Government debentures of the amount
of 15,0001. were to be issued.

The Bank of England's return gives the following re-
sults, as compared with the last statement :—ln the
amount of the Notes issued there is an increase of
148,025/. ; in the Rest, of 4,627/. ; in the Public Depo-
sits, of 689,604/. ; in the Gold and Silver Coin, of
49,1721. ; and in the General Securities, of 470,6231. In
the General Deposits there is a decrease of 32,4501.,
and in the Seven Days' Bills, of 26,2401. The total
Bank Department last time comprised 33,491,902/., and
now 34,055,443 L—increase 563,541/.

Consols for the Account have been very firm this
morning at 1004 ; but the Three per Cents. Reduced
have fallen from 100 k to 1001. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are also a shade lower than they
were yesterday ; so are Exchequer Bills and India
Bonds. Bank Stock has advanced to 211. Not a great
deal of business has been done in the Fnnds this day.
There is a dull demand for Spanish Stocks. The
Actives have ruled at 271 latterly, and the Three per
Cents. at 38. Nearly all the Bonds are lower than they
left off yesterday. Mexican Stock is at 36f, and the
Converted Portuguese at 60k. The Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have realised 644, and the Five per
Cents. 991.
The Railway Share Market has been in an active
state, and the variations in value very frequent.
