A notice given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last
night, that he would this evening move an humble address
to her Majesty, praying that the sum of 20,000% be granted
for the relief of the sufferers by the late calamitous fire at
Quebec, has given much satisfaction in commercial
circles connected with the colony. But, surely,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to have known
that another fire equal in destructiveness has occurred
in the devoted city of Quebec. It is, therefore, pre-
sumable that he will ask for an additional amount
this evening, so that the wants of the British subjects,
as well as those of French origin, who have so severely
suffered in Canada by two immense conflagrations, may
be most speedily met. It will be seen by the advertising
columns of The Sun this evening that an appeal is made by
the " Committee of Relief" at Quebec, and for subscriptions
in money, and for contributions of clothing, bedding, &c.,
which the Committee in London (Mr. Robert Carter, of
Leadenhall-street, is the honorary secretary thereof)
will undertake to forward by the most rapid con-
veyance to Quebec. There is no time to be lost,
as the next steamer will leave Liverpool early next
week. And when it is known that upwards of 20,000 Bri-
tish subiects have been redud to mi.., h,..41--_

affluence, as well as those of moderate means, will come for-
ward in aid of their houseless and distressed fellow-subjects in
Canada. .
There are not any arrivals of interest' in the City this
morning.
The fluctuating state of the weather is a subject of conver-
sation in almost all circles in the City. It is not at all be •
lieved that up to the present moment any damage has
been done to the crops of a serious nature. The
Funds are, however, still heavy; Consols for Account
have just been sold at 98%, and for Money at 98% and %
Bank Stock has receded from 211% to 210, as it is appre-
hended that, should the weather prove unfavourable, there
may be such a serious drain upon the coffers of the Bank for
specie, as to render the continental exchanges most mate-
rially against us. India Stock has receded from 273 to 272.
In the Foreign Stock the alterations have been very
trifling this morning. The only quotations have been for
Mexican from 36 to 3614 ; for Colombian ex Venezuelian,
17%; for Venezuelian, 4414 1,4 ; for Spanish, 26%; and for
the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 62 %.
The demand for the Railway Shares is generally very firm
to-day. The payment of differences is going off very
satisfactorily.
