LONDON PRODUCE MARISTS, Friday.—This transac-
tions during the past week have been smaller than for
some time past, and the supplies offered at the public
sales show a material dimination. Coffee is steady
excepting Mocha, which has been disposed of at rather
lower rates. Sugars remain fiat, and some of the
foreign Muscavado sort, by auction to-day partly foetid
buyers, upon slightly reduced terms- A limited inquiry
for East India, but consumers generally restrict their
operations. Tea Itiarket firm. said • steady inquiry for
fine new season's KaISOW and Honing Congou. The
spice sales on Wednesday passed off quietly, and white
pepper went at prices rather in favour of buyer!.
LONDOX P3OVIBIOI4B.—The Butter Market is Wet,
Fine Irish is firmly held for last week's rates. The
best descriptions of American sell freely, but all
anterior sorts are difficult to quit. In
English butter the trade is small, supply being
limited - finest Dorset, 120 e. to 1245. ; and Devon,
lion, to 113,i. per cwt. Fresh butter is plentiful, and
the quality is much better this week. Demand remains
very dull, at 15e, for firsts, 14a for seconds and west
country, and 13e. for thirds. Ostend 10s. to 13s. The
demand for foreign butter is quiet, Irish Hams are
wary soaree. Both Irish and IBlatabro Bacon inset a
slow sale at reduced prices: Waterford sir,esble, 1565.
to 60s. ; and Hambro 525. to 54e. per cwt. For really
fine qualities of Cheese the demand keeps good, and
prices are firm. For other descriptions the trade is
slow, and 'prices in favour of the buyer. American
Cheese ii in good demand. Ostend Rabbits, 34.6 d, per
atone.

BRISTOL SUGAR MAR/Err, Friday.—The market re-
=Ling quiet, without further change in value. Red nen'
produce is in moderrate request, at last week's rates.
The stock of raw West Indies sugar in this port con-
siste entirely of Bsrbadoes ; refiners' supplies consist
entirely of foreign sugar, principally Cuba Muscavado,
of which the supply has been unusually large this year.
Rasa is only moderately taken for home consumption,
M steady prices.

CHERSE MARKET, Friday.—The demand during the
past week has been quite stagnant. Nothing inquired
for but fluent American and finest Cheddars, both of
whioh are scarce, and maintain their price

THE FANNON PRESS AND THE MEDIATION DESPATCH.
—The Journal des Debate of Friday observes that the
French Government has no reason to regret having
failed in a step which would have insensibly entangled
French diplomacy, an that "it would have been
difficult to keep the balance between the North and
South; while the equilibrium, if it bad been broken,
would not have been (at least we fear so) in favour of
the cause which is the most just, popular, and French."
'The Frew argues at considerable length against the
policy indicated in the despatch. It comments espe-
cially upon the fact that M. Dronyn de Lhnys says not
• word upon slavery. "Of what use," it asks, "is all
the blood which has been spilt if slavery is to remain?
AA long as slavery exists in the United States there will
be no durable or honourable peace." The Temps can
see no ground for mediation. The proposition of an
armistice, by the nature of things, would be eminently
favourable to one of the parties, and prejudicial to the
other; and has little chance, therefore, of being accep-
ted. The &eels regrets that England and France have
not assented to the proposal. The Independanee Beige
observes i—As the Northern States are richer and
more populous than the States of the South, they are
certain sooner or later to come out victorious from the
ni Thetruggle. A suspension would but be detrimental to
hem.
South, on the other hand, would find in it
an opportunity for recruiting its forces, and, as the two
Parties are further than ever from an understanding
!anon what is the real origin of the difference, it would
tlXinontk of an armistice, instead of shortening the
bate to the sanguinary conflict, would but oontri-
