MONEY and COMitiERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The prices of the Funds have been very firm the
whole day, and several purchases of money stock
have been small individually, but amounting to a
large sum in the aggregate. Consols are 92 921 for
Money, and for the Account. Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 921 921; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Re-
duced, 101 1011; New Three-and• a-Half per Cents.,
1001 1001; Bank Stock, 1694- 170 f ; India Stock,
251 252 ; India Bonds, 34 ; Exchequer Bills, Old,
51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem.
Foreign Securities are steady, with rather more
business in Dutch Five per Cents., 102/; the Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 521; and Brazilian, 65 651.
Mexican is quoted 341 for time, and 35 for money.'
The Share Market has been very heavy, and a de-
cline of 21. per share has to be noticed in Great
Westerns, which have been sold at 851; London and
Birmingham Thirds at 601; North Midland Halves,
at 591; Brighton, 33 ; the Loan Notes, 10/.
The only bargain made in the Bonds to-day has
been in Spanish Five per Cents., at 20* for time.
Papers to the 19th June have been received from

the tape of Good Hope. They contain a despatch
conveying ' the unfortunate information of a defeat
having been suffered by the troops despatched against
the settlers at Port Natal. Under any circumstances
such an event would have to be regretted, but more
so in the present instance, when the relative situation
of the parties is considered.
These men, descendants of the original Dutch colo-
nists, feeling dissatisfied with our rule, removed and
located themselves in another district, and set all au-
thority at defiance, claiming to be independent,
upon the ground that having first settled
upon the land, though British territory, they
thereby obtained an exclusive right to it.
Although every privilege was offered them, both
by the home and colonial governments, they deter-
mined to act on the defensive; and now, in the first
encounter, they have been successful.
The improvement in commercial affairs which the
intelligence during the last few months has noticed,
still continued ; and as labourers became more nume-
rous, so it would appear the prospects of the colonists
brightened. The Africans who had arrived were
found to be extremely useful and willing, but the
want of European emigrants was still ' much
felt. The intelligence and superior - strength
of these latter rendering them far more valuable
assistants than the former, in consequence of its
being unnecessary to teach them every thing, whereby
much time was lost, by the necessity of a constant
supervision. Every inducement was offered to pro-
mote immigration.

G- •Th-

ie supply of grouse yesterday morning
in the market of Leadenhall, far exceeded in quantity.
any previous arrival, the City of Aberdeen steamer alone
bringing the enormous quantity of 470 boxes, each box
Containing upon an average three dozen birds. Itis,
much to be regretted, that more attention is not paid to
the forwarding this game while fresh, instead of leeping
it merely to swell the number of packag.es ; in the pre-
sent instance more, than one-half was in such a state of
decomposition as to be totally unfit for human con-
gumption.
