IWISCEL7. ANIMOVS,

On Friday, the adjournednTeiln7—(i the New Zealand
Company was held at the office, meeting of
Mr Aglionby in the chair. There were but eleven persons
present. The Chairman said, the proprietors would remem-
ber that at the meeting held on the 31st of May last, it was
recommended by the Directors, under the circumstances of
the Company at the time, that an adjournment till this day
should take place. The Directors had agreed to recommend-
that the Proprietors should again adjourn, in consequence of
important dispatches from New Zealand having been re-
ceived only two days since. There had not been time to
consider or digest these dispatches. It was then unani-
mously resolved that the meeting should stand adjourned
till the 28th instant.

The subscribers to the new German Lutheran Church, in
Blenheim-street, held their first anniversary dinner on Fri-
day, at the White Conduit House, where they were enter-
tained with some excellent singing by Staudigl, and some
admirable pianoforte playing by Miss Roeckel. About 160
ladies and gentlemen sat down to dinner, which passed off
much to the satisfaction of all present.
A magnificent building at Brewood, Staffordshire, designed
for the performance of divine service according to the rites
of the Roman Catholic Church, was opened, with all the
ceremonies of consecration, on Thursday last. The Rev. Dr.
Wiseman officiated, and was assisted by a large number of
the Roman Catholic clergy, within a circuit of several miles.
The proceedings attracted many visitors.
The Archbishop of Canterbury consecrated a new church
at Hougham, Dover, on Thursday last, in presence of the Ve-
nerable Archdeacon Croft, the Rev. Charles Plumptre, the
Rev. G. Lumsdaine, Rev. Thomas Morris, Rev. Thomas
Malik, Rev. W. S. Cole, Rev. George Roche, Rev. Rawdon
Greene, Rev. George Masters, upwards of fifty other clergy •
men, and a very numerous congregation.
On Friday a public meeting of the inhabitants of Green-
wich (convened by the churchwardens) took place in the
vestry-room adjoining the church, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the encroachments about being made in
building, upon a portion of Greenwich-park, houses for the
Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital. The subject excited
considerable interest. Several gentlemen having addressed
the meeting, resolutions were carried expressive of the regret
of the inhabitants that such an encroachment should be
made upon the park, and a petition having been founded
upon them, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and
the meeting separated.

GRAND BALL AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.—The Lord
and Lady Mayoress have issued invitations for a grand ball,
at the Mansion-house, on the 3d of July. We understand
that it is expected the ladies will appear in dresses strictly
of British or Spitalfields manufacture.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—FAVERSHAM, JUNE 13.—0 n
Tuesday morning, about 10 o'clock, a fire broke out at a
thatched house in the village of Newnham, about five miles
from Faversham, Kent, which totally destroyed 14 or 15
houses and cottages, besides a carpenter's shop, lodges,
stables, &c. the fire is supposed to have originated from
sparks falling from the chimney on to the thatch of the
house. which of course was very dry from the long absence
of rain, and so rapid was the progress of the flames, which
were driven with great fury by a south-westerly breeze,
that several of the poor people were unable to save their
furniture, and are thereby plunged into the deepest distress,
being in some cases uninsured. The Kent and Norwich
Union engines, from Faversham, and the Kent engine,
from Sittingbourne, attended, and succeeded towards evening
in subduing the fire. The greatest fears were at one time
entertained that the whole village of Newnham would have
fallen a sacrifice. A subscription has been commenced for the
poor sufferers.

MONEY AND cokmrriclAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The transactions in Cotton, at Liverpool, yesterday, were
rather extensive, amounting to 6,000 bales, at steady prices.
There was a stronger market for Grand Junction and Bir-
mingham Shares. Eastern Counties, I ; Grand Junction,
217 ; Belfast Junction, 3/. I ls. ; Leeds and Bradford,

The American advices received yesterday read tolerably
well ; but we apprehend, from all we hear, that the domestic
manufacturers of the States are supplying a very large pro-
portion of the home consumption. In the Canadian produce
markets, ashes had declined considerably upon the advices
per Britannia, and flour was dull, owing chiefly to the firm-
ness of the holders, in the face of the rather discouraging
accounts from England.
It is justly a matter for congratulation, that the commerce
of New Brunswick, so long and seriously depressed, is likely
to revive. A party writing from St. John's states :
" As soon as the navigation opens, business of all kinds
must take a start. The merchant from above will be down
for supplies, which are generally pretty well exhausted by
the spring, and new life and animation will pervade all classes
and conditions among us. Then, again, on the left hand side,
we shall have the spring fleet coining into port, some laden
with merchandise, and others less richly freighted, to carry away
the staple articles of the country for the English market.
We likewise have reason to believe that a new field of enter-
prise will be opened this summer, by some of our merchants
in the prosecution of our fisheries, since the Legislature has
been so liberal in affording means of encouragement. If this
business be entered upon with anything like spirit there will
be no lack of employment for the labourer, as well
as the fisherman. All have enough to do. Nova Scotia
employs 10,000 persons in the fisheries. In fact, it is this
business that maintains that province, in a commercial point
of view. A stranger to go round the wharves in Halifax, would
have undeniable proof of this fact, for during the greater part
of the year, the wharves, one and all, we had almost said, are
literally strewed with fish, drying in the sun ; and hundreds
of labourers employed in attending—in turning, gathering,
packing, screwing, and in fact shipping them for the West
India markets. This business likewise gives employment to
coopers and carpenters, in the manufacture of hogsheads and
boxes. Why should not our wharves present something of
this aspect?
" Again, the ship-building business will revive ; this like-
wise must be attended to ; we must not lose sight of the
substance in trying to grasp at the shadow. Even
though other inducements be held out for the encou-
ragement of industry, the ship-yards must not be de-
serted. They have hitherto given employment to thou-
sands; they have been the strong means of building the
city, and spreading the name of our people far and wide, as a
people possessing an enterprising and commercial spirit, and
worthy of the land that gave them birth. Let our ship-
yards, then, be re-opened. Let our lumberers attend to their
occupations—our farmers to theirs. In short, let no business
be deserted."

We are happy to hear that when the Britannia left, some
of these favourable anticipations had already been realised.
The determination of Sir Robert Peel, it appears, is, to
adhere to his Bank- Bill, as printed, unless Parliament
force him into modifications.

The division on the Sugar question having
gone against the Ministry, has had no effect upon
the value of the funds, although rather unexpected.

which are again rather better prices. Bank Stock is 1971 to

An improvement lias occurred in the value of Spanish
Stock, the Five per Cents. being 23 to and the Three per

accounts per Br►tannia advise the subsiding of the Texas an-
nexation excitement. The quotations are 34i to a. Portuguese
Converted Bonds have been steady at 47 ; Colombian are
13 to 12i ; and Peruvian, 27 ; Dutch and Belgian Bonds
maintain their value.

The Railways are steady, with the exception of the South
Western and the French lines, which droop a little ; Great
Western and Birmingham are at full rates.

ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY. —The gentlemen
cadets studying at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich,
have been supplied with beautiful new carbines, about
2llbs lighter than those issued to the non-commissioned
officers and gunners and drivers of six companies of the
Royal Artillery, and in progress of being delivered to all the
companies in that branch of her Majesty's service. This
handsome arm has given great satisfaction. Every carbine
is as well finished as a fowling piece.
CLEARING OUT A YOKEL.—A country booby,
name.' John Parkins, came to Hull on Tuesday, from
Whitgift ; whilst here he fell into a beastly state of in-
toxication, on recovering from which he found himself
minus coat, waistcoat, boots, and money, besides a bun-
dle containing a large quantity of wearing apparel.
John has not the slightest idea how, when, or where he
became dispossessed of his upper garments and other
property.—Hull Advertiser.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.--Since our last
we have had exceedingly warm, and, unfortunately for
the farmers, exceedingly dry weather also. The
showers which fell a week ago, and which led us to
anticipate more rain, have done but very little to re-
fresh the earth, and a heavy fall is anxiously looked for
by the agriculturists. The early-sown wheat is very
forward; in a field of Mr. Dunn's, at Aldborough,
within three hundred yards of the sea, the wheat, a few
days ago, was bursting into ear: it exhibits a very
healthy appearace. In Cottingham, the wheat in a field
belonging to Mr. Lund, shot into ear so early as the
28th of May. In Willerby, Hessle, Ferriby, Swanland,
Sunk Island, Lund, Etton, Leconfield, Bainton, and one
or two other places, the Car has already shot forth. In
all districts of the East Riding, however, rain is greatly
wanted ; the spring wheat especially requires moisture,
and, should heavy showers speedily fall, it is thought
that the spring wheat will yield better crops than the
winter sown, notwithstanding the present forwardness of
the latter. The hay harvest has already commenced in
the neighbourhood of Doncaster, but there does not seem
any likelihood of similar operations commencing in the
neighbourhood of Hull during the present month. The
crops of had• in the East-Riding are likely, generally to
be very light. Indeed, fears are expressed that all kinds
of agricultural produce will suffer unless a plentiful rain
speedily descend. A great quantity of potatoes have
been ploughed up, in consequence of the dry rot having
affected them.—Hull Advertiser.

CROMARTY.—THE DANES.—On Saturday last the
Danish corvette that has for the last fortnight enlivened
Cromarty, sailed out of the bay to continue her cruise
in the North Sea. Short as is the time she has been
amongst us, her departure creates a strong and uni-
versal feeling of regret in the neighbourhood, for a
finer set of youths never reflected honour on any coun-
try. Cromarty has been the scene of much gaiety
since the coming of the Danes, and we think
they will carry away with them a favourable im-
pression of the hospitality of its inhabitants.
Major and Mrs. Ord, at Cromarty House, we understand,
have made many of the strangers happy by their kind-
ness and attention, and on Thursday a farewell fete was
given to them at Braelangwell, the residence of Sir Hugh
Fraser. The commodores and captains, with some of
the senior officers, were at dinner, and were joined in
the evening by a large party of younger officers and mid-
shipmen from the Flora, together with as many of the
neighbouring gentry as on so short a notice could be
assembled. A more agreeable evening was never passed,
and it was the source of general remark how thoroughly
each one seemed imbued with the spirit of enjoyment.
Some Danish songs and dances contributed to aid the
zest of novelty and were much admired. The facility
with which all these Danes speak English is remarkable,
and their invariably courteous and gentlemanly de
meanour will secure a hearty Highland welcome to any
of their countrymen who may henceforth visit our shores.
The following morning, at the request of Commodore
Garde, a large party went from Braelangwell to visit the
frigate Gefion, of 48 guns, where they were met by the
captains, and some officers of the Flora, i❑ addition to
those of the Gefion ; and Sir Hugh Fraser received the
salute due to his rank as a general officer. After in-
specting the vessel, and partaking of the hospitality of
her officers, the party dispersed with interchange of many
good wishes.—lnverness Courier.
Ernst, the celebrated violinist, has presented to the
Royal Society of Musicians the munificent donation of 741.,
being a moiety of the proceeds of the concert which he gave,
with Moscheles, on the Ist instant. As M. Ernst was not
able, owing to sudden indisposition, to fulfil his promise to
the public, he thought it due from him to present the profits
of the concert to a fund, the object of which is the support
of aged and indigent musicians—a benevolent act, which
does him infinite credit. _ _ _

DIED.—At Dingwall, Ross-shire, North Britain,
after a most painful illness, which she bore with fortitude
and pious resignation, Mary, the second daughter of the late
Kenneth El'Kenzie, Esq., paymaster of the 3d West India
Regiment; sister-in-law to Captain Thomas Munro, late
Royal Highlanders ; cousin to Colin Alexander M'Kenzie,
Esq., late British Consul at Lisbon ; also, to the Right Hon.
W. E. Gladstone, President of the Board of Trade.
LIGHTNING —A letter from Auxerre states that on
Sunday, about half-past four, the electric fluid fell on the
tower of the church of St. Pierre, breaking off the weather-
cock, and throwing down some of the mason-work; then
penetrating into the interior, it damaged the wood-work of
several chapels. A few minutes before the church was full of
persons hearing vespers.
