The subscription towards the relief of the sufferers by
the recent conflagration at Quebec, has received an
impetus from the recent public meeting in London, and
the tone of the proceedings thereat adopted, which holds
out the most favourable sugury for the interests of the
sufferers by that signal calamity. As we were the first
to commend to the consideration of the British public
the propriety of convening public meetings in London
and the other mercantile capitals of the empire, we have
derived the highest gratification from observing the
noble response which the great mercantile body of
the metropolis have made to the appeal of their
fellow-subjects in a distant portion of the empire.
Among the French Canadians, residents and mer-
chants, there have been exhibited signal instances
of charitable regard for their suffering compatriots: and
of the great houses here, immediately connected with the
British American trade, the leading firms have come
forward with a munificence worthy of their proud posi•
tion and repute in the first commercial community that
the world can boast. The London bankers, too, have
most liberally aided the funds necessary to be raised, in
order to make provision, as far as may be practicable,
for the more immediate necessities of the ruined and
desolate families upon whom this terrible disaster has en-
tailed the destruction of their homes and houses, the loss of
their property, and the mournful task of commencing a
new career of occupation and existence from that point
which has so violently terminated their former one. Let
us hope that in this, as in most other cases of
extensive social calamity, good will be evolved
from evil. The experience of so much general sympathy,
and of such prompt, as well as diffusive humanity, in re
lation to their sufferings, to their privations, at the hands
of their English brethren, cannot fail to sink deeply into
the Canadian mind, and must exercise a powerful moral
influence in knitting together the hearts of the cllonists
in the bonds of a permanent alliance of affection for, and
community of interest in, the institutions, the prosperity,
and grandeur, of the British empire in the Old World,
as well as the New.

Notwithstanding the prevalence of the most favourable
weather for the crops, the Grain markets are on the advance.
A slight impulse has been given to speculation in foreign
corn, which has advanced to the extent of about 2s. to 3s.
per quarter since this day week. The quantity of foreign
corn in the port of London and at the outports is understood
to be very small indeed.
All things considered, there is room for satisfaction at the
progress made in the subscription for the relief of the sufferers
by the fire at Quebec. In a few days we expect to have a
considerable addition to announce, and we trust the name of
her Majesty arid Prince Albert will be at the head of the
second list. We may throw out a bit 1, that to provide for
the sovere winter, and the want of the distressed itihabit.dits
of Qiebec who hay.• been burnt out, that donations in the
shape (.1 clothing would be very useful.
Advices of May 12, by the ship Persia, have been received
from the Cape of Good Hope. The Natal colony was as un-
settled as ever, and it was expected there would be a more
active interference by the British authorities in order to in-
, sure tranquillity. At the Cape, the visits of shipping were
very numerous, owing to the obtainment of so much guano.
Consols for the Account have receded a shade to-day,
being quoted at 9914. Without the dividend the quotation
for Money is 991/s 111. The statement relative to the re-
ceipts of the revenue is held to be most satisfactory. Ex-
chequer-bills are firm at 575., and India Stock at 276.
There has not been much business done in the Foreign
Bonds to-day, as the list of quotations will show.
In the Share Market a considerable amount of dealings has
to be noted. The prices are upon the whole heavy.
