Miss Jane Porter, after the melancholy death of her brother,
Sir Robert Ker Porter, at St. Petersburgh, set out for this
country, and has now safely returned. She is at present
the guest of her late brother's distinguished friend, Mr.
Buckland, the President of the Geological Society, in Belgrave-
square.
The Company of Spectacle Makers gave a grand entertain-
ment at the West India Dock Tavern, Blackwid,, lad Wednes-
day, at which were present—Sir J. Duke, M.P., Chairman;
Lord J. Russell, Lord George Lennox, Lo:-(1 Arthur Lennox,
M.P., Lord F. Gordon, M.P., Sir Matthew Wood, Bart., Sir
Walter Riddell, Bart., Rear-Admiral Dunelas, M.P., Captain
Pechell, M.P., Mr. Wm. Hutt, Mr. D rax, Mr. Wallace, &c.
A private letter from Hamburgh states that the amount al-
ready received for the sufferers from the late fire, is more than
sufficient to build up a magnificent town, larger than that de-
stroyed.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. _

The English market has— been extremely firm the whole
morning, and Consols are 91i buyers for the opening ex
dividend ; Three per Cells. Reduced. 916 91t1 ' • Three-and-
a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 100} 1001 ; Bank Stock, 1666
1676 ; India Bonds, 23 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 44 46 ; and
New, 40 42 prem.
Dutch Five per Cents. have been sold at 100 i 1011 ; and
Brazilian has declined from 66 to 6414, but. without any other
reason apparently than the great disinclination to deal.
Mexican is quoted at 37k.
In Shares business has been very limited, and confined to
Great Western Half-Shares, 616 tfla ; South Western, 60i ;
Eastern Counties, 914 ; Brighton, 34; and Edinburgh and
Glasgow, 466.
Colombian Bonds are quoted at 224,1; Portuguese Threes,
21i Spanish Five per Cents., .211 i ; and the Three per Cents.,
22i.
't he Express packet has arriv?d, with accounts from Rio
to the 28th of April. The demand for European goods hied
somewhat improved, but the stocks of them were still far too
heavy to admit of any advance in prices, and there being no
certainty against fresh imporiations, merchants could not he
induced to enter into transactions by the present low-rates,
but could only purchase for their immediate wants, conse-
quently the larger part of them was held on consignees' account.
The state of the weather having been extremely favoui able,
it was expected that the forthcoming crop of coffee would be
much lager than usual. The last showed a great.
increase over those of former years, lv..t the exces-
sive rains so deteriorated the quality, as to render the
larger prtion of it in.fit fur exportation, to the serious loss of
the planters. This article was extensively introduced here, by
the way of the Cape of Good Hore, arid although not a very
great law:mite for consumption by itself, on account of its de-
licate
flavour, which by many sealers was denominatedweak-
ness," yet it has been gradually gaining ground in public esti-
mation. The operation of the new duty will doubtless affect.
this description, and allow much of it to be used, by which the
prices of all kinds will be materially kept clown.
The rate of Exchange, which had 'teen materially depressed,
had somewhat recovered, being 271 A 274, or a trifle helow what
it stood at for a keg time. _ _

There are numerous arrivals from all (porters, but of old
dates, especially from :he Au,tralian colonies.
Li tters from New Zi,aland do not give such satisfactory ac-
counts, as the last would have led to the anticipation of. The
colonists were stiil goirg on favourably, and rapily forming
new settlements ; but the natives, who hitherto had been ex-
ceedingly quiet, i:nd apprreiftly inclined to be peaceable, had
lately shown a feeling of hostility to the Europeans. It is
stated they do not understand, or approve of the lands, which
they have always considered to be their own, being appropriated
by foreigners, and seenied disinclined to abide by the arrange-
ments entered into by their chiefs. AL hiregh this cannut pre-
vent, yet it may greatly retard, the pro.2ress of the settlers ; but
it was expectert that the differences might be shortly arranged.
