—u patriots—and we could name them ; but a question
arises, are not these very men more useful, and exercising
a much higher authority in the State, by just resnaning
in their present position ? We conceive mature reflection
on the subject would answer in the affirmative. No
honour, or emoluments, or patronage, should we begrudge
to a BROUG lIA M ors BURDETT ; but we are perstaded
not only their utility, but their authority in the State,
would vanish, were the former sunk into a Master cl the
Rolls, or the latter into a Peer.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Nothing is heard of in the City but continual enquiries
in regard to his Majesty, whether he is still living; and
that which excites greatly the attention of the public, is
the appearance of Messrs. Mash and Martin, of the Lord
Chamberlain's Office, at the Castle, which has rather a
suspicious appearance. Although the funds left off yes-
terday rather heavy, 921 I, they hare rather a brighter
appearance, and opened at 92i for the account, but little
is doing as yet. The time is now drawing near to hear
the result of the French expedition to Algiers, which, ac-
cording to the French accounts, would have arrived off
the coast on or about the sth instant ; therefore we may
expect daily a telegraphic dispatch from Paris on the
subject, for which the speculators are anxiously waiting.
In the Foreign Market, Mexican bonds are this morning
the favourite speculation, and have got up about 2 per
cent. owing to favourable information from that quarter.
In other stocks nothing doing as yet.
LIVERPOOL, JUNE 7.—The demand for Pine Timber,
though not considerable, has been better this week than
it was the week preceding. Logs of the best qualities
only maintain their price, while timber of middling quali-
ties is drooping, and even lower. Inferior is very difficult
of sale at any price. Several cargoes of Baltic Timber
which have lately arrived are now being discharged, and
are going to the yard, there being but little disposition on
the part of the trade to purchase ; one or two cargoes
only have been sold. There has been a moderate demand
for Indigo, at fair prices. The imports of Irish Grain
continue weekly to decrease, but those of Foreign are
now large.
The Journal of Havre states, that a new prophet has
appeared in Senegal, which had become the theatre of
war. He was at the head of 3,000 fanatics in the
country of Wabo, masaacreing all persons he encountered ;
but at length he was defeated in a battle, leaving 1,500
men on the field, and afterwards was taken prisoner, and
condemned to be hung.
Montreal Papers to the 11th May, and Quebec to the
9th May, have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house. They state that the English
Mail has brought orders for retrenching the Commissariat
Department in the Canadas, the officers of which are
allowed two months to settle the business of that depart-
ment, and then retire on half-pay.
CITY, HALF.PAST ONE
We continue still in doubt and uncertainty, in regard
to his Majesty ; and the public are anxiously waiting the
appearance of the bulletin ; in the meantime the Funds
remain in a very inactive state. Consols have been
during the whole of the morning, at 921 for the Account,
alternately buyers and sellers. Reduced may be quoted,
911 to f. In the Foreign Market, the Mexican Bonds,
which had got up in the early part of the morning 2 per
cent. are not so good at present ; a re-action has taken
place, and they are at present 36j. Greek has some-
what improved to 37/ to In Spanish nothing doing.
In Shares little doing :—Chartered Gas Company 10i
premium ; City of London, 90 ; rhcenix, 7 ; south
