Wo have seen an account in a Sunday paper of a gross
insult passed upon the Queen by an officer bearing her
Majesty's commission, who, it is said, was lately made
a Commander of the Batk and Aide-de-Camp to the
Queen for his gallant conduct in Canada. The account
is confirmed by a Morning Contemporary, in which it is
affirmed that the language used was even more offensive
than that attributed to the officer. Notw►thstanding
these authorities, however, we must be permitted to
doubt that the son of a highly respected Nobleman, and
one holding such a high rank at Court, could so far
forget the usual gallantry of a British officer, and his
duty to his Sovereign, as to be guilty of conduct so
disgraceful.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

• CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

The Funds, which had been very steady the whole day, but
without any transactions of moment, suddenly became ex-
tremely fiat ; and although the last official price for Consols
was 91i, sellers for the opening, ex dividend, some sales were
made, after business hours, at 91 ; Reduced, 924 91/1 ; Bank
Stock, 1664 1674 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 44 46 ; New, 40
42 premium.
Foreign Securities are also dull, but prices, except for Bra-
zilian, were not materially varied. The accounts from the
latter country are not such as would appear to warrant a de-
cline, although some unpleasant feeling was stated to exist on the
subject of the slave question, which was solely caused by the Anti-
Slavery Society. The propositions sent out from this country,
offering to make concessions in the rates of duty now payable
if a relaxation were granted in the slave trade, had not conic on
for discussion, but they would doubtless be granted by the Exe-
cutive, though the tone of the lira er classes appeared to be ini-
mical to them. The closing prici s wore :—Belgian, 102 103;
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52a 524; the Fire per
Cents., 1(04 1014; Danish, 804 814; Brazilian, 64 66;
Mexican was quoted 37% 37a.
London and Birmingham Railway Shares were, 175 177;
Birmingham and Gloucester, 49 51 ; Great Western, 87
88 ; the Half Shares, 614 6-14 ; South Western, 60 6 ;
North Midland, 61 63; the New Shares, 30 31 ; South
Eastern and Dover, 24 25 ; the Scrip, 5 ; Eastern Counties,
84 94; Northern and Eastern, 39 40 ; Blackwall, 94 104 ;
and Brighton, 354 36.
All the Bonds are quoted lower, and after the lists were pub-
lished time bargains were made even below the quotations an-
nexed. Colombian, were last marked 224 224; Peruvian,
17 18; Portuguese Five per Cents., 354 36 ; the Three
per Cents.' 20-C214 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 21 214; and the
Three per Cents., 22j 221 .
The produce markets were more animated than is usual on a
Monday, and a greater disposition, for business was evinced.
From the uncertainty in which this description of business has
been for some time, in consequence of the discussions on the tariff
being now at au end; it may be expected that a decided im-
provement will take place, as the generality of dealers must
necessarily be very short of stock.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)

. ,
The English market has been extremely firm the whole
morning, and Consols are 91i buyers for the opening ex
dividend ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911 91a ; Three-and-
a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 1001 1001 ; Bank Stock, 164
167 i ; India. Bonds, '23 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 44 46 ; and
New, 40 42 prem.
Dutch Five per Cents. have been sold at 100 i, 101* ; and
Brazilian has declined from 66 to 641 A, but without any other
reason apparently than the great disinclination to deal.
Mexican is quoted at 37k.
In Shares business has been very limited, anti confined to
Great Western Half-Shares, 61i 614 ; South Western, 60i ;
Eastern Counties, 914 ; Brighton, 35k; and Edinburgh and
Glasgow, 46i.
Colombian Bonds are quoted at 224 ; Portuguese Threes,
21i ; Spanish Five per Cents., 2l ; and the Three per Cents.,
22g.
The Express packet has arrived, with accounts from Rio
to the 28th of April. The demand for European goods had
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 importations, merchants could not be
induced to enter into transactions by the present low-rates,
but would only purchase for their immediate wants, conse-
quently the largestpart of them was held on consignees' account.
The state of the weather having been extremely favourable,
it was expected that the forthcoming crop of coffee would be
much larger than usual. The last showed a great
increase over those of former years, but the exces-
sive rains so deteriorated the quality, as to resider the
larger portion of it unfit for exportation, to the serious loss of
the planters. This article was extensively introduced here, by
the way of the Cape of Good Hope, and although not a very
great favourite for consumption by itself, on account of its de-
licate flavour, which by many dealers was denominated " weak-
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 down.
The rate of Exchange, which had been materially depressed,
had somewhat recovered, being 27 Vz 27i, or a trifle below what
it stood at for a long time.
There are numerous arrivals from all qrarters, but of old
dates, especially from the Australian colonies.
Letters from New Zealand do not give such satisfactory ac-
counts, as the last would have led to the anticipation of. The
colonists were still going on favourably, and rapidly forming
new settlements ; but the natives, who hitherto had been ex-
ceedingly quiet, and apparently 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 seemed disinclined to abide by the arrange-
ments entered into by their chiefs. Alt hough this cannot pre-
vent, yet it may greatly retard, the progress of the settlers ; but
it was expected that the differences might be shortly arranged.

THE 111ANCEUVRING MOTHER.—This new novel, by
the Authoress of that most popular fiction of last season, " The
History of a Flirt," promises even to rival in attraction its for-
tunate predecessor. Weed the great variety and contrast of
its numerous characters, and the amusing way in which they
are made to act as foils to each other, prove that the writer has
made a great advance in her delightful art since her last ap-
pearance before the world. Nothing can be more distinctly
marked than the characters of the four daughters, who are
made victims to the matrimonial schemes of Lady Wetherall,
" the Manoeuvring Mother." The train of lovers, and ulti-
mately of husbands, that her art and their own attractions
gather round them, are still more entertaining. The bois •
terous foxhunter, Tom Pynsent ; the mincing milksop, Lord
Ennismore; the good. but grim Boscawen ; the coarse Sir Fos-
ter Kerryson; the party-gtving Lady Spottiswoode ; the so-
lemn Dowager Lady Ennismore; the frank, though slyly
satirical Sir John Wetherall ; the obsequious Airs. Thompson'',
and the various other persons who figure in this excellent novel
of real life, Will curnoatri for it universal popularity.
