There are no late arrivals to-day with news of general
interest, the accounts from America being but one day

A cargo of oranges, comprising 950 boxes, and occu.
pying several waggons, ivas received this morning at
the warehouses of Keeliag and Hunt, in Monument-
yard, in excellent condition, by the Southampton
Railway, and as ships discharging at that port will
save several days in the home and outward voyages, it is
supposed that now the dock and railway companies offer
such facilities, both having been most liberal in their
charges and the accommoaation offered, the route will
be made more extensively available.
A new decree relative to Dutch Stock has been issue('
at Amsterdam, the heads of which, as given by Messrs.
Raphael and Sons, are, that on the 29th inst. subscriP'
tions will be received at Amsterdam from parties willing
to convert Dutch Five per Cents. into Four per Cents. of
the same amount of capital, receiving in addition for
every 100 florins subscribed, 2 florins 75 cents ; the
4 per cent. interest to commence from Oct. 1.
The funds have been rather buoyant this morning, and
with a moderate business doing. The improvement ea
the Paris Bourse is in their favour. Consols have been
1004 4 for Money, and 1001 4 for Account. Bank Stock
is firm at 205. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents•
have been 1024 to *. The Commissioners have bought
at 1024. The Three per Cents. are 991 4.
The foreign investments are animated, and in some
cases there has been an advance in prices. Spanish
Five par Cents. have been supported at 244 1, and the
Three per Cents. at 36 to 364. The Passive Bond!
are 6k, and the Deferred, 154 1. Portuguese Converted
have been 554 for Money and 551 for Account. The
news of the decided majority for the Ministers at Lisboa
on the Indemnity Bill has not made the Bonds better.
Mexican Stock ha's been at a further advance to 35!
and 36, owing to the account received of a good amount
in dollars being ready at Vera Cruz for shipinent
to this country. Brazil Stock is worth 874 to 88. Bel'
gian have advanced to 1024, and Dutch Two ands'
Half per Cents. to 624 4 ; the French Three per Cents'
are 82f. 25c.
There is still rather a slack market for the RailwaY
Shares, and the quotations exhibit a want of that buoy'
ancy observable a week or two back.

LITERATURE.
FORGET-ME-NOT. Ackermann, London, 184j.,11
The'" Forget-me-Not" is one of the oldest, ai
a s the best, of the Annual fraternity, having now
in P:",*
existence, we believe, semewhere about fifteen Ye'of
During this protracted period it has seen dozensj
more showy and aspiring rivals rise, decline, '°p
wholly disappear, and has at present scarcely a 5111S0
competitor in the field. We do not wonder at
steady popularity which this annual has unifor°o
met with from the day when it was first started,
is edited with great skill and care by Mr. Shebety
who thoroughly understands the art of catering tc'tbs
public taste in these matters. The volume for , d
present year contains not less than ten plates, 801- it
which are of an average character in point of ex -s
tion, while others display superior excellence. Ale°,'
the better class, we may mention "Aurora's
which represents an arch, coquettish young girl tu
ing her fan to excellent account in the vval
flirtation, while a youth stands beside her, eviderlnti,
much impressed with a sense of her powers of ciV
vation. This clever plate is engraved by Mote )11 of
an original design by Lange. " Trent" is a skete,
this fine old town, taken on the spot. In the Oivi
ground we see a quaint, old-fashioned bridge spaoPoY
a broad sheet of water, while the back-ground is d
up of a picturesque range of mills, clothed withS;ol
and gracefully varied in their outlines. PtotO,
M'Donnell" is a full-length portrait of a 13114,1,e)
young Scottish lass, who is sitting alone on a itift
crag, at whose feet boils a raging sea, while a 3"eo
clever sheep-dog is keeping a vigilant look-out alf'ol,
This picture is full of spirit and animation. 9
remaining plates, the best are those entitled 0 Mirlto4
and the "Cousins," which last is a portrait ei.,„‘A
young female relations who are engaged in the ;d
confidential conversation, probably on the reef',"
their respectives lovers. The prose and verse c
munications in the volume are neither bettered 10
worse than usual. The article which has pleBsid
most by its whim and vivacity, is called "
from the Diary of a Beauty," and is written in
tration of " Aurora's Fan."
