AN CON- The following is the continuation of the official ordi `:nances, of which the greater portion appe are d i n T he Sun of " - esterday : ORDINANCE OF THE 3D OF FEBRUARY, 1847, RESPECTING THE PERIODICAL ASSEMBLING OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE UNITED DIET AND ITS PRIVILEGES. " We, Frederick William, by the Grace of God King of Prussia, &c., after having taken the opinion of our Mi n i s t ers of State, make the following ordinance, in pursuance of our letters patent of this day in the matters of the affairs of the Diet, respecting the periodical assembling of the Committee of the United Diet and its functions. Sec. 1. The Committees of the Provincial Diets are to be convened to form the Committee of the United Diet, accord ing to the regulation laid down by the ordinances of Jane 21st, 1842. Tile former Princes of the Empire in the province of West phalia, as w e ll as t h ose i n t h e Rhi ne prov i nce, are to be entitled to depute from amongst themselves two members each to the Committee of the United Di e t, w h o may participate in its proceedings either in person or through plenipotentiaries from the memb ers o f t h e E state o f N o b les of the United Diet. Besides this, a deputy is to proceed to the Committee of the United Diet from each of the provinces of Prussia, Brandeis burgh, Pomerania, and Posen, to be elected by and from the members of the First Estate entitled to single or collective votes. As regards the province of Pomerania, the Prince of Putblis is to assume this post without election, so leng as he remains the only nobleman in the province possessed of the qualification specified. The election of the other members of the Committee is to take place at the United Diet, in accordance with the ordi nances of the 21st of June, 1842, through the representatives of the several provinces; but in the interval between one United Diet and another as hitherto--viz., at each Provincial Diet. Sec. 2. The Committee of the United Diet will be con vened by us as often as a necessity arise.s therefor, but at the furthest four years after the close of the last assembly of the same, or if a United Diet has been held in the mean time, within the same lapse of time after the close of the latter. We shall require, as a general rule, from the Committee of the United Diet requisite advice, according to the general law of the sth June, 1823, respecting the laws which have for their object alterations in the rights of persons and pro perty, or others than the alterations in taxation designated in section 9 of the ordinance of this day upon the formation of the United Diet, if these laws concern the whole mo narchy, or several provinces; and we hereby confer upon it the privilege of giving such advice, with full legal effect. The regulation in Art. iii, No. 2, of the above-mentioned law is annulled by the present regulation. As, however, we have already reserved to ourselves, in the :- ordinance concerning the formation of the United Diet, the right to require from it opinions of the same kind, in appro priate cases, we will equally reserve to ourselves the right to submit laws of the above-mentioned description which con cern the whole monarchy or several provinces, in exceptional cases, for the opinion of the Provincial Diets, if this should appear advisable for particular reasons—for example, for the sake of dispatch. Sec. 4. The Committee of the United Diet, as the represen tative of the United Diet, is to attend to business relating to the State debts, pointed out in our ordinance of this day on the formation of the United Diet. Sec. 5. The right of petition appertains to the Com mittee of the United Diet to the same extent as to the United Diet itself. lierefrom are excepted, however, all pro• posals having alterations of the constitution of the Diet in view. Sec. 6. Should we find ourselves induced to make commu nications to the said Committee of the United Diet upon the State finances, the regulations of the 11th section of the ordinance on the formation of the United Diet are to come into full operation. _ _ Sec. 7. The conduct of business and the presidency of the Committee of the United Diet is to be assumed by a Marshal, to be appointed by us, who will be represented in case of need by a Vice-Marshal, to be similarly appointed. Sec. 8. The Committee of the United Diet is to deliberate as an undivided assembly. Its resolutions are, as a general rule, to be adopted by a simple majority of votes. Petitions and complaints are only to be laid before us if they have been voted by at least two-thirds of the members. If the Committee of the United Diet declares itself on the deliberation of a law, against the law, or_ some of the provisions of the same, by a less majority than that above mentioned, the views of the minority are also to be laid be fore us. Sec. 9. The Provincial Diets are to communicate to their several Committees no instructions or proposals fur the Com mittee of the United Diet. Sec. 10. The regulations of the 17th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d sections of the ordinances of this day, on the forma tion of the United Diet, are also to come into full operation in the Committee of the United Diet. Given under our hand and royal seal at Berlin, February 3, 1847. FREDERICK WILLIAM. ORDINANCE FOR THE FORMATION OF A DEPUTATION Or THE DIET FOR THE AFFAIRS OF THE STATE DEBTS. We, Frederick William, &c., ordain as follows :- 1. In the execution of the co-operation proposed in the 6th section of the ordinances of this day, relative to the for mation of the United Diet, in the contraction of State loans in times of war, and for the current co-operation of the Diet in the reduction and extinction of the State debt. A deputation of the Diet shall be formed for the affairs of the State debt. 2. This deputation to consist of eight members, of whom one is to be chosen in each of the eight provinces, by the states of the province, for a period of six years, The election to take place at the United Diet, but is the interval between one Diet and another, at the Provincial Diets, according to the regulation relative to the proceed ings in election of Diets of the 22d June, 1842. The election must only fall on persons who are members of the Diet in question. If one of the elected members loses the qualifi cation before the lapse of the sexennial period, he is also to secede from the deputation. If, however, his secession is caused by his not having been re-elected as a deputy of the Diet, he is to remain a member of the deputation till the next Diet. To each member of the deputation two locuin tenentes are to be chosen, of whom one is to replace him in case of emergency, as well as in the event of a vacancy occurring in the interval between one Diet and another. The choice of these locum tenentes to be made conformably with the re gulations respecting the actual members. 3. The members of the deputation are to be sworn to the fulfilment of their duties in their summons. Sec. 4. To the province of the deputation appertain the following duties, exclusively of the co-operation in the con traction of war loans conferred by the six sections already mentioned. I. The deputation is to tako charge of the redeemed State debt documents, according to the regulation of Article 14 of the ordinance of 17th January, 1820, and to effect their de. posit in the judicial chamber. _ . 2. It is to audit the annual accounts of the interest and extinction of the State debts, after they have been pre viously revised by the upper chamber of accounts, and to cause them to be presented to us for our approval by the United Diet or the Committee thereof, on its next assembly, according to the 14th article of the ordinance of January 17th, 1820. 3. It is authorised to undertake extraordinary revisions of the fund for the extinction of the State debts and the control of the State papers, on the occasion of its meeting. 5. The deputation for the affairs of the State debt will re gularly meet once a year, and besides this, as often as occasion demands; the summons to be made by the Minister of the Interior. 6. The deputation is to elect a President at each meeting, who must be presented to the Minister of the Interior. The presence of at least five members will be requisite to constitute a valid act of the deputation. Given under our hand, &c., Berlin, Feb. 3, 1847. FREDERICK WILLIAM. MONEY MAREET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of W. 178. 10 1 4 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.40; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4321 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17a. 10%d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange a 13.81 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.44, it follows that gold is 1.53 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 106 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 3.58 per cent. against Eng r land. But the quoted exchange at New York being fcir bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. The last quotation of the exchange at St. Petersburgh on London was 400. per rouble at three months' date. According to the usual calculation that 100 sovereigns will yield 60 59-100 gold imperials at St. Peters burgh, the transmission of gold would give an exchange of 38 45-100d._ per silver rouble ; and the gross profit on the operation would be about 4-1 per cent. ; from which, however, would have to be deducted the loss of interest and charges of transport. LYCEUM TasATßE.—Last night a monster-concert, to use the recognised expression, took place under the aus, pices of the speculative Mr. Allcroft, who had gathered around him the majority of our most recognised vocalists and instrumentalists for the occasion. As the programme con sisted of three parts, comprising no less than forty-eight pieces of music, we shall not attempt to give any details further than the bare mention of the artists employed. These were—Madame Albertazzi, Madame F. Lablache, Misses E. Birch, Bassano, Steele, A. and M. Williams, Reynell, Hill, S. Novello, M. B. Hawes ; Messrs. Harrison, Allen, H. Phillips, F. Lablache, Brizzi, Henry Russell, Sinclair, Giubilei, and John Parry, vocalists; Madame Dulcken, M. Benedict, Messrs. Grattan Cooke, Blagrove, F. Chatterton, T. Harper, and Master Thirlwall, instrumentalists ; besides a new version of the " Ethiopians," nomenclated " the Lantum Ethiopian Serenaders," who performed between the act. 9, The theatre was crowded in every part, and during the time we attended the audience appeared inclined to encore every thing that was sung and played. STOKE NEWINGTON LITERARY AND SCIE NTIFIC SOCIETY.—A meeting of the members of this society wini held at the Manor House Rooimssold, xu.it., Church-street, who occupied Monday evening . last. The Rev. Mr. gave a very appropriate address; a P n r a o d fes m s ir o a r b o le f the chair on the occasion, After which Dr. W. B.

FUND FON TU E R ELIEF OF TUE DESTITUTE Dust' AND SCOTCIL—M. Laurent, lessee of the Casino, Royal Adelaide Gallery, Strand, has generously promised to devote. the proceeds of this (Wednesday) evening's entertainment in aid of the above fund. To-morrow Mr. Batty, of Astlm's Royal Amphitheatre, actuated by a similar benevolent Oa ing, will give the entire evening's receipts for the same praise- , worthy purpose. Two or three years ago a Russian nobleman, the Prince Dolgorouki, publish e d i n P ar i s a work on the Russian aristocracy, which excited the displeasure of the Emperor Nicholas. The Emperor ordered the Prince to return home ; but the latter, fearing that he would be sent to aiberia, de clined to obey. Time, however, softened down the Em peror's anger; and at last he acceded a pardon to the Prince: The latter then returned to St. Petersburgh, where, to his • great astonishment, he was informed by the Emperor him self that the French Government having heard of the order given by the Czar to him to return home, and his dis regard thereof, had offered to the Czar to have him taken, into custody by the French police, and conveyed to the frontier! The truth of this story is vouched for by one of the daily newspapers. —Paris Correspondent of the , Brighton Gazette.

The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at their offices, No. 10, Coleman-street, City. Mr. SHADBOLT, president of the company, in taking the chair i ,..oaid_that there would be no report submitted to the meeting, and that id/ tliatirould be donowould boto.lay the accounts before them. The account was then read, by which it appeared that the interest upon bonds and preference shares was 11,4001. 10s., the property-tax was 207!. ls. 4d., salaries 2651. Bs. ; which, with other expenses, amounted to a gross sum of 11,9581. 18s. 4d., lea'ring a balance of 6,996/. 10s. Id. The CHAIRMAN then said that it would now be his duty to propose that the accounts which had just been read should be printed and circulated amongst the subscribers. Sir. PERRY said he felt pleasui.e in seconding the resolution they had just heard, but at the same time he thought it right to call the attention of the meeting to one circumstance; before doing so, however, he would say that they would not have many difficulties in winding up their affairs in future. Their directors might, in the opinion of several of the share holders, be fairly and safely reduced to three. The SECRETARY explained that it would be necessary to have five, and he believed that the three directors could not, by any possibility, discharge the affairs of the company sa tisfactorily. Mr. PERRY, as an individual, was perfectly satisfied. There was no person, from the circumstance of his having been an auditor, who had had a better opportunity of knowing how the affairs of the company had been conducted; but he had brought forward the present question upon the sugges tion of some of the shareholders. It might be necessary to carry out the affairs of this company effectively, that there should be five directors; but then three of the present di rectors might remain in office, and two others be appointed, honorary directors. These directors might be paid a small fee for their occasional services. Mr. LEVY said their object should be to have a few re spectable gentlemen to manage their affairs. He thought that five was as small a number as they could have to do that properly. Now, considering the small amount those directors demanded for their labour, he thought that such could not be reasonably objected to.--(Hear, hear.) It might be supposed that because the Eastern Counties Railway had leased the line that there was nothing for their directors to do ; but they should recollect that circumstances and difficul ties might arise which would render necessary the active in terference and superintendence of directors.—( Hear, bear.) Mr. PERRY said he should repeat what he had already stated was merely the opinion of others, and not his own, and also that, as an individual, he was perfectly satisfied with the management of the company. Mr. MAUBERT stated that, looking at theirliccounts, they found that the directors had acted as bankers to the com pany, and that they (the company) could not carry on a concern like theirs at a smaller expense than had hitherto been incurred tkrough the able management of the directors. The resolution was then put from the chair and carried unanimously. Messrs. Wilson and Deputy Corney were then re-elected directors, which was acknowledged by Mr. Corney on his own behalf and that of Mr. Wilson. Mr. PERRY then proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded and carried unanimously, and the meeting separated. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street ; Mr. G. Hudson, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The meeting was made special, for the purpose of agreeing to certain new lines and extensions. In their report the directors announced a dividend, for the half-year, ending the 4th of January last, of 10s. per share of 14/. 16s. each on the consolidated stock of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and in proportion on the share capital of the Northern and Eastern Company. The gross receipts from traffic showed an increase over the correspond ing half of last year of 69,9461. 12s. 6d. The past season had been unusually trying to the permanent way and works, notwith standing which, their state throughout was very satisfactory. The cost of maintenance for the past half year, included in all 184-1 miles, 136 of which were 110 W in the com pany's own hands, and the remaining twelve miles were maintained by contract. The increased length of road main tained during the last six months amounted to fiftv•nine miles, viz. from Stortford to Brandon, and from Stratf o rd t o Bl Junction to Hertford. Taking this additional mile age i n t o d era tien, it would appear that a clear sav i ng o f 4 , 03 5 1 . ac, besides the second line of r a il s f rom B rox b ourne kwall consi Is. 7d. had bee n effected, as com p ared with last year. The of the Hertford branch h a d b een completed at a cost of 1 ,500/. un der the estimate, an d th e d ouble line of the Stratford d ou ble line y for opening in the course of a few days. The new s t at i on at the Stratford Junction was now completed and mi g ht b e opened an d Thames Junction Railway wou ld b e read in the course of a few days. The stock of engines on the line on July 4 th, 1846, was fifty-eight p assenger and thirteen goo ds engines. Received during the l as t s i x months, four stock amount to s eventy-two passenger and to l4 t h Peterborough of January lwasant, i teigehn passenger and fire good s eng i nes, making the pre sentteen goods engines ; si x t y - two of these were in working condition, and t wenty-e i ght under repair. olowtinogpetno slipsedfer having occurred at two poi n t s , t h at required the greatest energy and a large additi ona l expenditure upon the part of Mr. Peto, the contract or , t o conquer. Notwithstanding this general e r b a r l a t n r c a n ffi c fr o muntil y e delay, the line had been delivered up for traffic in very com plete working order ten months earlier than Mr. Peto was bound to do by his contract. The construction of the lines between Cambridge and St. Ives, and St. Ives and Wisbeach was let, in September last, to Mr. Peto, and was proceeding with rapidity. The directors confidently anticipated that the portion of the latter line between March and Wisbeach would be ready for opening on or before the Ist of May, and that the remainder of these lines would be completed in the autumn of the year. A direct communication would then exist with Huntingdon, by means of the Ely and Hun tingdon Railway. The North Woolwich Railway and Pier would be completed for traffic early in the ensuing summer. Since the last half-yearly meeting of the shareholders the company had purchased the Maldon, Witham, and Braintree Railway, a short but valuable line, connecting the rising port of Malden with the main lines of this company and the central portions of Essex. The works would be let on the 17th of this month for completion in the early part of 1848. The company was in possession of the greater part of the property requited for the enlargement of the Bishopsgate station, and the contract for its construction would be forthwith let. Inconsequence of the increase of traffic, both in passengers and goods, which has lately taken place, the directors had resolved to seek for powers in the ensuing Session of Par liament to obtain four additional lines of railway between the Mile-end and Bishopsgate stations. For the purpose of carrying out several objects, it was intended to make payable the first call of V. 10s. per share upon the B. quarter of the York Extension shares in two instalments, of which one would be due on the 18th of March, and the other on the 18th of May next. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoptioa of the report, said he felt it was unnecessary to dwell at any length upon the present affairs of the company, because the report supplied every information upon the subject, while the shareholders were well acquainted with the topics connected with their future prospects. He could hold out no hope of a reduction in the working expenses but there was every prospect of their traffic increasing, without adding to their working expenses. He had found, since his connexion with the Eastern Counties Company, that a line with a metropolitan terminus could not be worked so cheaply as the lines of the north, but still it was gratifying for him to know, that although the expense was greater than that of any northern line, there was no line under his management better or more efficiently worked. With these few remarks, heibegged to move the adoption of the report, and that the dividend be paid on and after the 23d inst. A BLOPRIETOR said he had seen it announced in a provin cial paper that their London terminus was to be extended on to the site of the Middlesex House of Correction. He regretted that this subject was not alluded to in the report. The CHAIRMAN replied, that when they came to the special business of the day he should be ready to give the Hon. Proprietor every information upon the subject. The resolution was then agreed to. Messrs. Hudson, Gibbs, Harrison, and Hood, were re elected directors. The CHAIRMAN, in a few words, acknowledged their re election, and held out a strong hope that the traffic would still go on increasing, and, under the exertions of the board, he was convinced they had nothing to do but to go on and prosper. SPECIAL MBETING. . The shareholders then resolved themselves into a special meeting. The CILAIRMAN said he was ashamed to say that there were no less than thirteen Bills.—(Hear and Lsughter.) The first was a Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from Woolwich to Spalding, and to construct docks at Wisbeach in conn e xion trewith. It would be twenty-one miles in length, and the heestimated cost was 325,000/. The Bill was approved of. Spalding A Th p e a C t ß ol l N E ß T : t e w it a ig r a k, s B mated cost was 620,000/. reeigxhttßmillilwesasintolenmgatkhe. a Theliae fersotT k ai ed tdilitr w htYe hat was the eggregato capital of the thirteen Bills ? The CHAIRMAN replied, five millions.—(Oh ! oh 1) A PROPRIETOR wished to have some explanation upon the manner in which it was intended to dispose of the York Ex tension shares. PRICE SD. The CHAIRMAN replied that all the A shares would be called up before April, for the construction of the St. Ives and Wisbeach line, and B would be devoted to the purpo ses of the Maldom and i Witham line. C and D w ou ld b e ai plied to the purposes of such lines as Parliament might grant in the present session. The shares would carry divi dends so soon as the lines to which they were applied came into working operation. A pledge had already been given that until these York Extension shares were exhausted ,no further creations would be made. When all those shares were paid up, they would become Ristern Counties' stock. A I'mm:urea thought it would be better to exhaust the calls of A before any were made in B. The Bill was then approved of, as were also the following : A Bill to authorise the purchase, by the Eastern Counties Railway Company of the North Woolwich Railway, and the lease of the pepper warehouses and 'wharfs of the East and West India Dock Company, and the construction of docks in connexion with the North Woolwich Railway. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Syston and Peterborough Rail way, in the parish of Etton, in the county of Northampton, to the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Bolton Junction Rail way, near Folkingham. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to enlarge their London and Stratford stations, and to amend some of the provisions of the Acts relating to the Eastern Counties Railway Company. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Eastern Counties Railway, at West Ham, to or near the Victoria Park, with Branches to the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Wisbeach, St. Ives, and Cam bridge Junction Railway, in the parish of Somerthaui, to the town of Ramsey. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway .from the Eastern Counties kailway, near Cambridge, to the Hertford and Ware branch of the Northern and Eastern Railway, with branches. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Eastern Counties Railway, near Cambridge, to the Bedford and Bletchley Railway, at or near Bedford, with branches. _ _ _ A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Northern and Eastern Railway at Hertford, to the Great Northern Railway, near Hitchin. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near the Forestgate station, to Southend, with branches. A Bill for making a railway from the Maldon, Witham, and Braintree Railway, near BraiiVro Halistea The CHAIRMAN said the next wa A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Northern and Eastern Railway, at Tottenham, to or near Guildford-street, with branches to the East and West India Dock and Birmingham Junction Railway. The length was a mile and a half, and the capital a million and a half. Several shareholders objected to the last Bill. The cost was too much. The CHAIRMAN said the directors were prepared to with draw it. They took the opinion of the shareholders on those Bills in accordance with the standing orders, but they did not bind themselves to proceed with all the Bills should reasons arise for withdrawing any of them. The Bill was withdrawn, and the two following Bills were agreed to :-- — A• Bill to authorise the purchase, by the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, of the Maldon, Witham, and Brain tree Railway. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Great Northern Railway, near Spalding, to the Nottingham and Lincoln Branch of the Midland Counties Railway. In reply to a question, The Ciudamerr stated that the A shares would be allowed to carry dividends from July next, payable in the following January, and after the former month the A shares would be divided from the B. In reply to another question, The CHAIRMAN said there was no truth whatever in the statement which had appeared in one of the railway prints, thas it was his intention to resign owing to his being unable to agree with his colleagues on the subject of the management of the line. He felt that his character and reputation were bound up in the prosperity, and should any event happen requiring his retirement, which he did not for a moment anticipate, he would take care that the shareholders should be informed of the fact by himself. He repeated, however, that there was no foundation whatever for the rumour which had gone abroad, and he hoped to remain with them till age incapaci tated him for business.—(Cheers.) A vote of confidence was then passed to the chairman and directors, and the meeting terminated. AUDITORS. James Colquhoun, Esq., Agent for Edmund Nugent, Esq., Agent St. Vinoent. &c. for Antigua.

SuGAa.—To-day there was a falling off in the demand for all descriptions of raw Sugar for home consumption, and the quantity brought forward being very large, and exceeding the wants of the grocers, refiners, brewers, and distillers, whilst there was no speculative demand, a decline in prices conseqUently took place. FORYIGN.—This afternoon Foreign Sugar met with little attention privately. At public sale 2,596 bags of Pernam buco sold under former rates. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with caution by the home trade, although there were sellers upon l a o t w fo e r r m t e e r rm ra s. tes. Bo l n n deic Crushed , l oave Suga r m alh e as t w b i e t e h a ndo d n u e l . l sale Blauerruss—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius Sugar submitted to public competition was very large, and amounted to 20,204 bags, and 241 casks, the chief part of which consisted of the better descriptions. The merchants were eager sellers, but submitting to a fall on the rates of Is to 2s on yellow and brown, and 6d to Is per cwt for grey kinds, induced the trade to purchase the principal part offered. Easx INDIA.—This afternoon at the public sales of Bengal, consisting of 4,710 bags, the biddings were languid, and the rates accepted exhibited a decline of is to is Gd for white, 6d to is for grainy yellow, and is per cwt for brown; but nearly the whole found purchasers. INDIGO.—The market has assumed a brisker appearance for East India suited both for home consumption and ex portation, and prices have taken an upward tendency. . The quarterly sales of East India commenced to-day, and con sisted 0f9,509 chests. The sale has gone off with spirit for the new goods, but those marks that were bought in, iu pre vious sales. have not sold quite so well. COFEEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon met with less attention, and 1,419 bags at auction were only in part sold, but former rates were sustained. Native is less wanted. Of Singapore Java 1,923 bags were submitted to public compe tion, and all taken in at 38s to 40s for good ordinary, and at 32s to 32s 6d for damaged, which is above the value. Cocos.—There has been much inquiry after West India, and further advanced rates are offered. rue parcels on offer have been readily cleared off the market; indeed the supply is not sufficient for the demand. TEA.—There has been more activity in the market for Black since the issuing of our last number; holders have shown firmness, and supplied the market less freely with all descriptions. In Congou a good business has been transacted by the town and country trade at the former currency. Of N ew Tea many parcels have been disposed of, and the quality is superior to that of last season. In Pouchoug the operations are to a larger extent, and at firm rates. In Green Tea of good and fine quality a large ha- iness has been transacted, and at firm rates, but in the lower sorts only a moderate business has been dane at present, notwithstanding the low prices at which there are sellers. The arrivals of Tea have been less than they were last year, whilst the deliveries are larger, and the stock is much the same as it was in 1846 at this time; still all kinds are cheaper.
