The imports of foreign Wheat have amounted to 7,590 quarters. Fine samples moved off readily at Monday's advance ; and the value of the middling and inferior kinds was well supported. Then) was a moderate inquiry for Barley, and prices were well supported in every instance. In Malt, so little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal. The quantity of Oa:s on off,tr was small ; all kinds were firm, and quite as dear. Beans, Peas, Indian Curn, Meal, aad Flour moved off steadily, at very full prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. I Wheat.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—On Monday evening a robbery of a most impudent description was committed at the residence of Miss Harems, an aged maiden lady.

MAJESTY'S THEATRE. At length we have a worthy successor to Madame Thista ; and those characters, such as 2:ledea, which re(pire for their perfect emba , liment a rare combina tion of miji!sty, and passion, and tenderness, and for their proper vocalization a voice of great compass and equally perfect in the middle as in the u pper and lower regh;t:-..r, and capable of expressing every phase of passion, from the most pathetic tenderness and the most heartrending anguish to the furious bursts of anger, of hatred, and of revenge, may twain resume their place:, in the operatic repertoire. Mademoiselle i - he pupil and adopted daughter of Pasta, made her dt'bi7t here last evening in the character of orma, and we certainly are no longer surprised at the furore she created at Palermo and at the anxiety of the Palermitans to retain her among them. such an netres3 and singer has not appeared since the days of Pasta. Mademoiselle Parodi is somevdiat above the lriddle height, with features of great mobility, and capable of every variety of expression. Ihr eyes arc magnificent, and her mouth full of expres sion, her figure is commaniing, her manners dignified and nwjestic—dignity and majesty are with her the prevailing characteri!ties of the. part, and thertfure when, as in the scenes with Pcllio, with Adalgi.=:a and with her children, passion bursts through till those restraints by which her strong will has hitherto kept it down, and the priestess is overcome by the woman, the intensity of the passion i 3 ineresed tenfold by the contrast, and Norma is all the inor , ace inspiring in these impas- sioned scenes, from the contrast vv•hich they present with the usual majesVc dignity which on other occa sions she preserves. It was impossible to behold her for an instant without feeling that at length we had discovered a great actress. v ln the opening scene, in which she appears with her long jet black hair escaping from unnerneath her tiara and flowing o ve r her shoulders, her majestic mien, her dignified step, her features bearing an expression of the most intense devotion, and yet with an under-current of human passion ready to burst forth, she seemed the very priestess of that strange and mysterious religion whose temples wcre the cromlechs aod whose bible was the stirs. The Carta Diva was given with the intensity of davotion of one who believed in the faith hich she professed. There was no attempt t the introduction of any mere ornamental vueAlizAtion, but it was the heartfelt address of 3 true believer to the deity of her worship. The chirige of expre6sion of her features and of her manntr in the cabaletta which immediately follows, "Ah bell° a me ritorna," was most admirable, and stamped her at once as an artiste not only of the gt,atest genius, but as one possessed of the power of fully embodying and developing the conceptions of that genius; her features were lit up with an al most girl-like joy, and nothing could exceed the beauty and delicacy of her manner of render- ing this exquisite air: The applause was rapturous; an . encore was demanded, and on her quitting the stage she was again called for and again greeted with t•.e . gre,Atest enthusiasm. In the concluding scene of the first act, in which denounces Pollio. never have we seen the expression of mingled indignation and scorn more admirably delineated. The expression of concentrated rage and contempt with which she rushes towards him ; the peculiar tone of the voice, almost choked by the intensity of the emotion, trembling and hoarse as it were with passion, were effects which, since the days of Edmund Kean, no artiste has dared attempt until they were at tempted last night by Parodi ; and Edmund Kean, in his most palmy days, was never morn true to nature, never more effective, never more successful. The effect was electric. Of living artistes one, and only one, could have acted this magnificent scene as Parodi acted it last night— and that one is Pasta. The scene in which she con- templates the murder of her children was also a perfect triumph of histrionic art. There was some thing horribly fascinating in the manner in which she screwed her courage to the sticking place ; and then the sudden revulsion of feeling, the tremor of terror that came over that maddened mother as she started back in horror on beholding those sleeping children and recollecting that she was their mother, was a perfect triumph of histrionic art. Again wer e we reminded of tile glorious triumphs of (Edmund Kean ; again were we reminded of the equally glorious triumphs of Pasts, and it is but justice to Parodi to say, that she did not suffer one jot by the reminiscences which she hal evoked, and the comparison which those reminis- cences had excited. We have been so carried away by our adiniradon of the transcendent powers of Paredi as an actress that we have nut as yet paid honour due to her vocal merits. her voice is of great power, great flexibility, and extraordinary compass, bearing a very great resemblance, in all points, to the voice of Pasta. In her lower tones her voice is a contralto of great power and richness. There is, about her lower tones that peculiar gushing quality hich constitutes the great charm of a contralto voice, while her ti,i.idle and upper note i are clear, silver like, powerful, and capable of every variety and shale of expression, from the soft sound, " there's nothing lives 'twixt it and silence," to the most powerful tones of the most brilliant bravura. Parodi can sing whatever Pasta could sing, whatever Mali• bran could sing, and she possesses this advantage over Malibran, there is no deCect in the middle tones of her voice. Throughout the whole compass of her, register there is neitli.d. break or detect, and the , naldle notes are as perfect as are the upper or the lower. .1_ he exquisite quality and the great 11,-xibi lity of her voice, and the delicate taste and cliscrimi nal-ing judgment by which she directs the perfect command which she has attained over it, were de- Ilgiitfully manifested by the admirable manner in which she gave the far•famed " Deh ! con te." Never have we heard this delicious niorceau more exqui sitely given than it was given last night by Mantle. Paredt and Madame Guiliani. It was one of the most tasteful, delicate, perfect pieces of voca lization ever heard. The last scene, " the crowning act of the tragedy," was also the crowning act of the triumph of Mademoiselle Parodi. To fully appre ciate this marvellous piece of perfect tragic aciing, the eye should be kept constantly fixed on the artiste, so that not the slightest change of expression of fea ture should be missed. With Mademoiselle Parodi it is the countenance that tells the tale. The voice, the music, aye, we may almost say the gestures, are but auxiliaries (most important auxiliaries, we admit, but still only auxiliaries) to the mind mirrored in the features. Never was that mind more clearly ex • pressed than it was by Parodi in " Quest ora orrenda"—it was indeed " ora orrenda." The whole scene with Pollio was one of the most heartrending pathos. There was something terrific about the impassioned, operatic energy with which she sum mons the priests to hear her confession, which con trasted most effectually with the soft despairing pa thetic tone and utter prostration of pride and energy and strength with which she utters her self denuuciation "F. Norma." The pathetic pleading with Oroveso which follows was agonising, and when the curtain fell, all present felt that they had assisted at the debut of one who is destined henceforth to reign the Queen of lyrical tragedy, and to revive that school of dignified, yet impassioned acting, which left the Italian stage with Pasta. Great as she is as a. vocalist, it is as a lyric tragedian rather than as a mere vocalist, that farodi should be regarded. She possesses the mar vellous faculty of producing great effects by easy and natural means. She gives full effect to every phrase and every word ; every attitude is classical and dignified ; every pose is finished and graceful, and every gesture has meaning in it. She was called for, as we have mentioned, at the conclusion of her open ing scene. She was again called for at the conclusion of the first act, and three times at the conclusion of the opera, and bouquets innumerable were showered on her. Lableche was the Oroveso, and he was as great (in every sense of the word) as ever. Madame Giuliani was the Adalgisa, and never have we seen the part of Adalgisa nearly so well sustained, either vocally or histrionically, as it was by Madame Guiliani. I3ordas was the Pollio, and sang and acted excellently. The music of this part is within the compass of his voice, and he gave it therefore with cor rect intonation and with great sweetness. The choruses were pethetion, and the orchestra, under the able direction of Balfe, did lull justice to the beauti fully expressive music of Bellini. Taken, as a whole, the opera of Norma has never been more perfectly re presented. The house was crowded. His Seren e Hi g h ness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar was present. I n h is )toyat Highness's party, which occupied her Majesty the Queen Adelaide's box, were the Earl and Countess Howe, the Hon. Miss Mitchell, and Lady Leveson Gower.

The English vocalist, Miss Catherine Hayes, made her first appearance in this country last night, as the heroine of Linda di Chamouni, an opera in which she has won her principal laurels at the Scala and elsewhere. We are glad to record her complete sue: cess, for the fame of an English artist abroad is generally a doubtful thing, and experience has but too often proved the cruel and' disappointing worth lessness of prefatory rumour. But Miss Hayes is an exception to this unfortunate rule. She is, happily, a vocalist of great merit, and very likely to achieve a lasting end profitable reputation in this country. In Italy she has, for some three years past, been a leading favourite; and for two seasons, we are informed she filled the situation of prima donna at Vienna, where vocal pretensions, it is well known, are judged with severity. The appearance of Miss Hayes is agreeable. She is fortified by nature with a pretty, prepossessing face, Irish in its cast, with the advantageous accompaniment of an elegant, though slender, figure. Her voice is a soprano of considerable range, extremely sweet in quality, though somewhat hard when forcibly exerted. Her accomplishments as an executant are highly credit able to her industry; she has nothing to achieve in this respects for she delivers fiorituri with the most perfect ease—delicacy and finish not being wanting to give her execution the best possible charm. Her first air, " 0 lute di quest'anima," although given under the influence of a very natural alarm, did not terminate without establishing the singer in the good graces of the auditors, for the qualities to which we have alluded were plainly betokened, together with the rare and invaluable essential of exact intonation. The duet in the second act," Al bel dentin," is calcu lated to display a soprano vocalist very brilliantly, and Miss Hayes met the exigencies of the case to admira tion, and deserved the applause that the effort brought down. The music—what there is of it—belonging to the third act, when Linda returns to her native vil lage crazed and heart-broken, was also intelligently rendered, and completed the interest of a very charming performance. As an actress Miss Hayes is not re markable; but she nevertheless gives an attractive embodiment to one of the prettiest and most fasci nating of operatic heroines. Grace and softness are her natural characteristics, and to fill such parts as the one under notice seems to be her true professional destiny. The young contralto, Mdlle. de Meric, likewise made her debut upon this occasion, and shared with Miss Hayes the honours of the evening. Her success was equally unmistakeable. Such an exquisite voice could not well fail to gratify the ear of the listener, but independently of the physical satisfaction thus established, the vocalist betrayed great taste and feeling, from which the best auguries may be deduced. She has the advantage of singing her first air behind the scenes, and her delivery of this deliciously pensive morceau was consequently undamaged by the terror incident to an initiatory trial before a new audience, and prepared the way for the sulwequent ballata, "Per sua Madre," in which her rich and sympathetic voice, and purity and earnestness of style, were developed still more openly. The larghetto, in the duet between her and Miss Hayes, in the second act, was also touchingly sung. That this young lady will prove to the house an acquisition of no mean value, we think was abund antly proved last night, when the expectations which her recent attempts at Paris gave rise to were fully realised. Mdlle. de Meric is the daughter of Madame Merie Lalande, a prima donna who sang at her Majesty's Theatre a tew years ago contemporaneously with Donzelli. Tamburini, who appeared for the first time this season, played Antonio--one of his finest characters, though hitherto unknown in it in this country. His making up was perfect; and his acting in the second act, when he discovers his daughter under the sup posed protection of a seducer, was extraordinarily effective. The lover was personated by Salvi, and the Marquis by Tagliafico. The former gave the senti mental airs with his accustomed taste and refinement ; and the latter exhibited some serviceable dramatic hustle. The choruses were executed with the greatest spirit and precision ; and the opera, as a whole, went off with the eclat, as regards the completeness of re presentation, which so honourably distinguishes this establishment. Her Majesty's box was occupied by the Hon. Francis Lady Ann Charteris, Mr. and Lady Blanche Balfour, and Mr. Byng. Among the visitors were Count and Countess de Flahault and Miss do Flahault, Baron Nicolay, the Duke of Brunswick, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Bradford and the Ladies Bridgeman, the Earl of Munster, the Earl of Bi , ltust, Viscount Exmouth, Viscountess Canning, !Lady Ili:ward do Walden, PSr, and Lady Au4usta Wentworth end Miss Wentworth, Lady Shelley, Lady Ashburton, Lady Quentin, Lady Webster, Lady Morgan, Hon.

BARK OF ENGLAND.—Yesterday a ballot was taken at the Bank for the election of governor and deputy-governor for the ensuing year. The balloting was opened at ten o'clock in the morning and closed at four in the afternoon, when the votes were summed up by the scrutineers, who declared the unanimous choice of the proprietors to have fallen upon Henry J. Prescott, Esq , for governor, and Thomson Ilankey, jun., Esq., for deputy-governor; and those gentlemen wero sworn into office accordingly. It may be added that Mr. Prescott and Mr. Flankey were the individuals recommended by the directors. We believe not above fifty proprietors recorded their votes on this occasion. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/, 17s. 101 d. per ounce tor standard gold, gives an ex• change of 25.32 i; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.11, it follows that gold is the same price at Hamburgh and London. Lieutenant Dunsteville, Royal Navy, has been pre sented with a handsome medal, graciously awarded him by her Majesty for services rendered on the coast of Syria, in 1840, and we should have much pleasure in being able to announce this deserving officer's promo tion, he having seen no mean period of servitude, and lseing the son of a deceased old and meritorious servant of the Crown, John William Dunsteville, Esq., who for thirty years was agent to IL M.

One-half of that number are engrossed by surgi cal eases, a great proportion by acute cases of frightful accidents, fractures, broken bones, &c.; and but a small and inadequate portion by chronic cases, since one-third of the deaths every year are from diseases of the heart and lungs. We may well exclaim, in the words of the Earl of Carlisle, " What does not the term a chronic c or e a ce s lf e il s fee ' s, i e m i t, restlessness, e y t ! hwe N h V ue pain,h ifs.d a e t ro3sion g - terminatesweph ( a , f t e so li rfrhoienwi ,ei death,whatee se ed languor, fhmeepw rwhhhil which it is but a little removed!"

The hospital accommoda tion of London in respect to beds, i notwithstanding the great wealth possessed by some of the institutions, is not sufficient to meet one-halt of the demands of the indi gent. St. Mary's Hospital, in Paddington, which is not yet completed, will, when opened (in the course of the presetst summer), afford accommodation to districts con tainiug 170,000 inhabitants, and beds for 400 patients. —7 he Reporter and Benevolent Societies Chronicle.

It will be seen that the field resulted in the defeat of Sister to Arkwright, first favourite for the Oaks, and that the winner of the Northamptonshire Stakes succumbed to Cam zou, whose starting, up to Monday night, was very doubtful; both were backed for large stakes.

The annual sports of Camden Town commenced on Monday at the Brecknock Arms, the play being in the Cornish style, and chiefly between the men of " the Bri tish California" and the adjoining county of Devon. The proceedings opened with a match for a couple of sove reigns betwen Keaslater, of D e von, and Cummins!, of Becks, in which the Devonian proved the victor, bring ing the Berkshire man to the ground twice in succes si o n . Radford (D.), and Verran, of Birmingham, played out time, neither getting the throw. Bowden (C.), then came against Verran, and as both are first-rate light men, a splendid specimen of the athletic art was displayed, Bowden finally gaining the fall. Partridge (D.), next threw Skelley (D.), and afterwards Eason (of Somerset), thus establishing himself as a double player. Toogood (D.), cleverly disposed of another pair, namely, Barrett (C.), aad Clements (C.), in a brief space of time. Potherbridge (D.), a new wrestler in the London ring, made a successful debut, by flooring two Cornishmen in succession, and making him self also a double player. Charles Verran (C.), scienti fically disposed of the pretensions of a very fine young man of the Life Guards, who stated himselt to be a na tive of Devon, named Gorman. Verran subsequently timed out Crook, of Devon, and was made a double player. Goodman (C.), the Champion of the London ring, showed next, laying Crook, of Devon, and Eason, of Somerset, on their shoulder blades. Hill (D.), grasse d Maunder (C.), and Raiford (C.), another double. There were several other well contested couples, W. Snell, the Devon champion, having possession of the ring when night put an end to the play, which will be resumed this day. FIRE AND PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE.--Last evening considerable alarm was camed in Pool•place, Mount pleasant, Clerkenwell, in consequence of a cry being raised that the first floor of the house numbered 2 in that place was on fire, and that a child about four years of age was burning therein. The parish engine and the brigade firemen immediately started for the spot, when, to the surprise of the neighbours, the doors were barred against the admission of the firemen—the inmates of the lebuse succeeding themselves in putting the flames out. The only information that could ho learned was, that a bed and bedding were burned, and a child about four years of age was so fi ightfully burned, that its death was hourly expected. The premises, which were let out in ttnements, were owned by a Mr. Sullivan, who was under an erroneous impression that if he allowed the firemen to enter ho would have to pay for their attendance. ACCELERATION OF THE MAILS.—The public of Cork have now the satisfaction of receiving letters from Dublin and London two hours sooner than before, in consequence of the mails being brought by train as far as Mallow. On Friday the arrangement was for the first time carried into effect, and though necessitating consi derable changes in the local post-office, did not occasion the least emLarrasament or confusion. The mail arrived exactly at the time appointed, and was distributed with promptitude. The acceleration is a great convenience to our local con?munity, and fully appreciated.—Cork Examiner, COURT CIRCULAR. WIN DSO R, TUESDAY.

He was mate of the Thames in action with the French squadron, in the Straits, in 1801, and served in her boats in cutting out a gun-boat and convoy from Estepona; was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1806; was lieutenant of the Sceptre in the attack on the French frigate Semi Dante, under the batteries of the Isle de Bourbon, in 1807; and, as a commander, com manded the Port d'Espagne at the reduction of Marti nique, in 1809.

Ferrari, R.A.; for the trial of First Lieutenant James Splaine Dowman, R.M., on the following charge;— "That he, First-Lieutenant James Splaine Dowman, of the Royal Marines, being upon duty in attending a party practising with ball cartridge, at Woolwich, on or about the forenoon of the 9th of March, 1849, did then and there appear in such a state of intoxication as to be quite unfit to be retained upon the aforesaid duty, such conduct being highly derogatory to the character of an officer and prejudicial to good order and military discipline." Colonel Thomas A. Parke, C. 8., Commandant of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, attended as prose cutor; and Lieutenant and Adjutant John William Wearing, First-Lieutenant Thomas Carstairs Gray, Firt.t-Lieutenant Thomas Magin, and Second-Lieutenant Henry Fallow field Cooper, Royal Marines, as evidence for the prosecution; Assistant-Surgeon James Nathaniel Derriman, R.M., and First-Lieutenant Charles Thomas Form. Onslcv, R.M., for the defence. After a patient investigation of the evidence to prove the charge, and in favour of the prisoner, who pleaded Not Guilty, The Court found him Guilty, and sentenced the said First-Lieutenant James Splaine Dowman, of the Royal Marines, to be cashiered; and the Lords Commissioners having approved the proceedings and sentence, have confirmed the same, and the finding and sentence have been promulgated in general orders. The Diligence transport-ship was towed down the river yesterday by the Monkey steam-vessel, having been loaded at Deptford tor the Western ports. The Basilisk steam-vessel was taken out of the basin at high water, and towed by the Charon to moorings alongside the Salsette receiving-ship. The Basilisk has all her guns on board, and has a tine appearanc3 as a war steamer. The Mastiff surveying-vessel was taken under the sheers at the basin to-day, to have her masts taken out and her stores brought on shore previous to her being laid up until wanted for further service. SICILY AND NAPLES. The latest accounts from Palermo state that the mediation of Great Britain and France for the ad• just►nent of the differences between Sicily and Naples not having proved successful, the armistice would cease on the 19th instant, when the belligerent par ties would be at liberty to commence hostilities. The intention of the King of Naples was to blockade the Bay of Palermo, and the adjacent places, about the beginning of April, but it will be seen from the following extract from a private letter to a merchan in town, that the Sicilians do not intend to wait 01 they are attacked : " Palermo, 27th March, 1849. " Y ou have no idea of the indignation that exists on this infamous decree of the King Bombe,' and the at tempt to entrap the Sicilians. The two Admirals, and also the two Ministers (English and French, who have returned to Naples) have had the best oppontunity of witnessing the deep-rooted odium that exists even at the name of a Bourbon, and the enthusiasm that animates two millions of people. The negotiations have term inated most h onou rably to the Sicilians , a nd hostilities will commence the day after to-morrow at Messina, and all along the frontier line, whilst King Bombe' is dreaming of blockading Sicily in t he beginning of April,' when not a single Neapolitan soldier will be left in the island! You would be surprised to see the Duchess of Montelone, and hundreds of other females, of the first families, working atpeople, t h e trenches, mingled with the common and with the Deputies and Peers of both Hous es of Parlia ment. "It is a spectacle for all Europe, such as has never been witnessed in the world before. The Sicilians have a very large organised army, say about 35,000, in Paler mo only, and a considerable portion of the National Guards are already on the move. The four war steamers aro hourly expected from Malta, armed and manned by English officers and seamen, and will commence a nice little Sicilian navy, to astonish in prowess the brutal ea.- King Ferdinand Bombs.' " At Catania there are 10,000 well •disciplined troops, commanded by the celebrated Polish general, Miria slowski, and about 1,000 cavalry and mounted Nationals! besides a numerous park of artillery, in every way well equipped. The end will be, that after the Neapolitans are destroyed, the Sicilian army will cross over to Cala bria, and march to Naples, to demand the millions he has robbed us of for the last thirty-three years. It is cur rently reported that the English Admiral has orders to salute the Sicilian flag (as soon as the Sicilians aro victo rious), and to recognise the Sicilian independence—we shall see."—Manchester Examiner and Times. THE ROYAL VISIT TO GRIMSBY DOCKS.—Great preparations are being made by the various o ffi cial au thorities for the reception of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on the occasion of his visit to Grimsby on the 18th instant, to lay the foundation stone of the stu pendous docks about being formed at that port. Diffe.. rent yacht clubs have received a notification of the share they may take in the festivities to commemorate the commencement of these important works. All the pomp and circumstance of war, says a correspondent, will be peacefully employed. Bands of music, artillery, the local militia and district soldiery, will be in attend. ance, and the counties of Lincoln, Derby, Nottingham, and York may look forward to a highly interesting and festive ceremony on this first occasion of his Royal Highness visiting the eastern coast. A Goon LANDLORD.—(PrOM a Correspondent.)— You will please give insertion to tho following, as I fancy it may be a public, as well as it is a private, good. R. Tonson Rye, Esq , of Rye Court, with characteristic benevolence and magnamity, has allowed his tenant farmers 50 per cent. off their September rent. I need not say how this boon was granted. Happy are the tenantry amongst whom such a landlord resides, spend ingd his princely income in diffusing happy-less stab, prosperity; and truly considerate an d foreseeing is t _ landlord who is content to take from an industrinus andd grateful people what they ca n g ive with equfity atnh, justice. Would to God all would do like hiair n. ; would be so, present tide of sorrow , suffering, and desp stemmed successfully, and, I should hope, for ever.— Cork Examin.

(From the Lcnd'on .New Price Current, April 10.) Sucen.—To-day the Raw Sugar market was closed on account of the holidays; but business will be resumed to-morrow. For public sale this week 150 libds Barba does. 4,000 bags Bengal, 1,000 bags of Mauritius, and 1,700 chests yellow Havannah are declared. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in good de. ;nand for home trade purposes, and it was difficult to pur chase brown grocery Lumps under 51s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for Cos toi ls, but few buyers are to be met with. Miunmus.—Further parcels have been imported, still holders are firm, and the rates obtainedare fully purchases and scale o l a fair equacl thoseextent o tenth a v c e u r b r e e e n n t on made this fo d r da y week; the a by private treaty. For low to floe brown th e va l ue is from 33s to 36s Gd, yellow 37s to 425, and grey S7s to 40s per cwt. None has been submitted to public sale, but seine parcels are declared, consisting for she most part of better descriptions of yellow. Deliveries continue of a Eatisfactery nature for home consumption. EAST INDlA.—Previous rates are well supported for all dt seriptiens of Bengal Sugar, and there is only a limited supply at market. By private treaty several purchases have been made. Benares, good and fine white, realised 41s Gd to 435, low and middling 40s to 41s, soft yellow 33s to 395, brown 30s to 325, strong yellow 37s to 44s 6d, brown 33s to 365, and strong white 45s to 48s. Imports are getting upon a larger scal.•, but as home deliveries full IF, the stock is not much heavier than at this time in the former year. In Aladres a good business has , been concluded, and prices are fully as high as on this day week ; there is also rot a larger amount on offer. Soft brown is quoted at from 30s to 32s 6d, yellow 33s to 375, and strong ditto 38s to 44s per cwt. For Penang there is a fair sale, and former rates are well kept up. FOREIGN.—To• day there was only a limited demand for Foreign Sugar for export, and difficulty was expe rienced in supporting prices. COFFEE.—With West India the market is still scantily supplied with all sorts•, prices are, in consequence, kept up, but the home trade operate with caution, and a reduction is expected to take place shortly ; arri vals of the new crop are near at hand. Prices above those current for Ceylon, excepting for ordinary sorts. There is not much difference in the stock as compared with this time last year, but deliveries are larger, and imports exhibit a falling off. The market has an unfavour able appearance for East India Coffee subject to the lower rate of duty, and export kinds are not so much wanted ; the supply is also more plentifuL For Native Ceylon only a limited demand has been ex perienced for home consumption, and there are few ex port buyers. Prices are moderate, and rule at 32s to 33s 6d, per cwt., and there is a fair amount on offer. Plantation is offered upon rather lower terms, yet the sales made have been small, and the better kinds are the most difficult to dispose of. Mocha is little wanted, and can be obtained upon rather lower terms; the stock is also extending, and deliveries do not get larger. Only a limited demand has been experienced for other East India sorts, still holders are firm. Padang is held for 28s to 28s 6d, Sumatra 27s to 27s 6d, and Sincapore Java 30s to 38s per cwt. For Foreign Coffee the market has assumed a quiet aspect; but as the supply is not larger, former rates are kept up. Public sales will be declared shortly, when rather lower prices are expected to prevail. A public sale of 1,365 bags Native Ceylon Coffee is declared for Thurs day. To-day the rates insisted on for good ord Native Ceylon were 33s per cwt; but few sales were concluded by private treaty. MOLASSES.—The sale is brisker for West India, and prices tend upwards. Purchases to a fair extent have been made privately, and at auction 200 puns of Trinidad fetched 20s to 20s 6d per cwt. Bengal Treacle cannot be quoted higher; the sale is, however, brisker at 15 s to 16s per cwt, an there is a less amount on offer: indeed some holders will not sell at present rates. An advance in the value of Honey is apparent, and the quantity on offer is smaller than for some time past. COCOA.—The market is more freely supplied with British Plantation, and prices have assumed a downward tendency, as the demand has fallen off. The value of low to fine red Trinidad is from 40s to 465, and grey 38s to 43$ per cwt. Prices are expected to rule lower as several parcels of the new crop are near at hand. There is a more active demand for Foreign and the parcels dis posed of by private treaty were at rather higher rates. A public sale of 100 bags Trinidad Cocoa is declared for Thursday. TEA.—The demand has not improved for black, still holders will not accept lower rates, aid 7id to Bjd is the value of ord and good common congou cash. Of Green there is still a large amount on offer, and sellers are ready to accept rather lower rates, still on the part of the trade little desire is evinced to operate. For scented and Pekoe Teas the market has a dull aspect, and a alight reduction in the value is apparent. Arrivals for the past week amounted to 16,000 pkgs, and during that time duty was paid upon 427,9001bs at this port. It is a subject of surprise that the market for Tea should continue in so quiet a state, as prices rule low, and dealers are not oversupplied. RlCE.—There are sellers of East India rather under former rates, as the stock is yet extensive, and home as vs ell us export deliveries continue upon a small scale. By private treaty all sorts have been dealt - in with cau tion; good and fine white Bengal can be obtained at lOs Gd to 1 Is Gd, mid and good mid 6s to 10s, low 8s to 8s G.', cargo 7s to 7s Gd. Madras pinky white 7s 6d to 8s 6d, and pearl barley 7s to 7s 6d. The chief operation in been 8,000 bugs of white dale at 9s. 3d. per cwt. None has been offered at auctiou, and imports are still less than in the former year, whilst prices rule lower. Only a moderate safe has been experienced for Cleaned Rice; town dressed Carolina at '205 to 255; American, 18s to 20s; and low to fine Patna:, 13s to 19s per cwt. For auction 3,000 bags and 1,000 packets of Bengal Rice are declared. erresTs.—Holders of Leeward Island are firm, and ask full rates, but the demand bus become limited, and the rules since our last are only 250 puns at is 4iel proof. East India has been dealt in with caution at Is 3d to is 3 d ; there are rather lower prices. Deme rara met with little attention, and sellers are willing to accept 2s to 2s 3d for 28 to 34 per cent. over proof, and 2s 4d to 2s 5d for stronger. Holders of Jamaica tare nut disposed to accept former rates, still ex porters and home dealers operate with caution, and there is a plentiful supply of low and mid sorts. The value of 20 to 29 per cent over proof is from 2s 7d to 2s and fine 3s 8d to 4s Gd. Of the best marks there is yet a small supply. The deliveries of Rum have been to a lair extent since our last report. Brandy is less in demand, and supplies are upon a larger scale. holders are more disposed to sell: Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1845 at 5s to 55 Bd, ditto 1847 4s 2d to 4s 4d, ditto 1848 3s 5d to 3s 7d, and interior 2s 2d to 3s 4d. There is no falling off in con sumption. For Geneva the rates asked are is 9d to Is 10d for ord, and fine at 2s 3d to 3s 3d. The valet of British made Spirit is still 9s Bd, and Gin 8,3 d to 8s 9d per gal. To-day Rum was more in demand, and Is 3d per gal proof was re fused for 1,000 puns of East India. Belem.—Black Pep' er is held with firmness, and the supply is still small; there has been a fair business con.. CIU'Lli at full rates. White is wanted, and stiller rates are obtained; the supply is also smaller than for some time past. Pod is in better demand at 30s to 50s. Of Is utmt gs there are several arrivals and rather lower rates are taken but few buyers. Mace is dull of sale and can be obtained upon rather lower terms. Ginger is held with firmness, and the demand is better for all purposes. Cinnamon is not cheaper, but only small sales have been made. There is a fair demand for Cloves. COCIIINEAL.—There has been again a large quantity delivered for home consumption and exportation ; the supply is also less plentiful, and former rates are well supported. None has been submitted to public sale, and privately operations aro upon an enlarged scale, at fully former rates. INDIGO.—The quantity of East India declared for public sale on the Bth of May has been increased to 5,360 chts. There is little desire on the part of exporters or home dealers to do business, still there are not sellers under the rates of the last quarterly sales. For Spanish there is a steady demand, and late rates are well sup ported, but publio sales will be declared shortly. FRlllT.—Currants cannot be obtained upon lower terms, but the sales made have been limited at from 34eto 39s per cwt for low to fine quality. There is, however, only a small stock whereas consumption is proceeding e u a n p d e e od rtefavotuo ntira o b o lea n u n s e pic l e o s ng auspices, and in t a he ci m ui a e r t ket po i s s itio n n o . t Raisins are held with firmness, still only small sales have been made. The value of prime Valencia is 40s, and Units 30s per cwt. Fine Figs continue to be much wanted and stiffer rates are offered; there is, however, still a scanty supply. In the value of other sorts of Fruit we have little variation to record; there is however a better demand. S A LTPETRE.—To -day there was much inquiry after rough, and it was difficult to purchase common, quality under 30s per cwt. as the supply is yet scanty. Teeeow.—Russian has been dealt in with cautio n on the spot, and prices a re further depressed.

For forward delivery several axles have been made at 26s Gd to 26s 9d per cwt. Of Palm some parcels have come to hand, yet there is firmness in the market, and a good demand exists. Fine quality is worth 34s to 34s 61. Cocoa Nut has been dealt in with great fret dom at 34s 6d to 375. For Olive there has been a good demand, and prices rule firm; Gallipoli at 421 lOs to 43/, and other sorts 40/ to 421. per tun.
