LoNDON SPIRIT MARX RT.—Moot deaCriptiOtts of rum
are is *low sale, and proof Leeward. Is quok.l at
Is. 7d. to Is. Md. per gallon. In the value of brandy
and grain spirits we have no change to notice.
TY.A.--Advices from China state that the total ship-
ments were 36,000,0001b5., or I,OOU,OUOIbs. less than
last year. Our market is but moderately supplied, and
the business doing is by no means extensive, at is.
to Is. ltd. per lb. for Common sound Congou.
Mi•uxu.—Although the supply of raw sugar is by no
means extensive. the demand fur all kinds is very Rice-
tive. at barely stationary prices. Refined goods are dull,
at 52.5. 64. per cwt. fur common bnupwit lumps.
LEICESTER, March 16.—The general hosiery trade
quiet, and with the exception of the sock and glove
branches there is Out much doing. The same remarks
apply to the hosiery trade in the country districts.
Mustiness is now, however, inure quiet than is usual at
this period of tlie year. flie woolmarket is dull, and
has a downward tendency; yarns are a dull sale, and
easier.

NorriNnii.tu,li.—There has been a fair amount
of business doing this week in the lace trade; the
demand is, however, yet short of an average one ; the
articles principally in request are those connected with
the cotton branches, more particularly goods of plain
descriptions. In bilk goods the market remains quiet.
The hosiery trade continues in a prosperous condition ;
in most branches there is a good business doing, and
there is every appearance of the present activity con-
tinuing for some time. Machinery is well engaged, and
the operatives fully employed. Yarnsare ingood request
and prices arc looking up.

THI MINEKAL TEAMS or 801:Ttt WALZI4.—Both
the iron and coal trades, the staple productions of
South Wales, show increased firmness, several large
orders both for home and foreign consumption having
been received. Railway iron continues steady, and
various French orders are being supplied, and as the
stocks in the hands of the consumers have been reduced
to the lowest point they are now being compelled to
buy. Steam coal meets with a steady sale at improving
rates, and all increasing demand is apparent owing partly
to the satisfactory nature of the late experiments.
roal for house consumption is also sold freely, and in
the Aberdare valley a move from the recent severe
depress is apparAit. The revival of trade is affording
increased employment, and various improvements and
extensions are being carried on at some of the works.
The mineral field at Penydarren has been sold to the
Melees Iron Company.
LASGOW, March 111.—Cotton.—We have had a good
market this week, and buyers have come more freely
into the market than fur 5011Ie time past. The advance
on the week mmjol. to 4.1. per lb. Goods and Yarns.—
Though the demand for export yarns has been trifling
this week, the home trade has taken off an unusually large
quantity. This, coupled with the heavy engagements
spinners have on hand, has still further enhanced prices,
and in the middle numbers of yarn, 70 to lOU, prices
are a full penny higher than they were at the commence-
ment of the month. in goods the transactions have
been on the whole limited this week. hon.—Pig iron,
under the influence of the improved state of continental
politics and a little speculative demand, has gradually
advanced since this day se'iiiiight until to-day, when
525. 6d. cash, one month open. WAS realized for mixed
Nos. for warrants. The close was scarcely so buoyant,
buyers over 525. :M. having withdrawn. Shipping iron

A London prospectus has been issued of the rnion
Mercantile titeani Company of Lisbon, which commenced
operations last year. for the purls"... of trading between
that capital and the Portuguese settlements on the west
omit of Africa, as well with the Azores and Algarve.
The company have an annual snail subsidy of P. 18,000
from the Portuguese. Government, and also received a
Issnua at starting of Lli.ooo. The capital is fixed at
1:150010, of which Ilse directors and trustees have
already subscribed 1.100,000. leaving 1:50,01/0 to be
offered in London, and which is now required to com-
plete the purchase of additional ships called for by the
increasing trade. The expenses are kept at an ex-
tremely low point, and the manager is paid solely by •
commission. With regard to the resulti of the under-
taking thus far_ it is stated that this line to the Azores,
which was the branch first established. is paying 25 per
cent. per annum, and that the ships of the .Ifrican
which hos been opened only four tutottilts, have been full
each way, and unable to take all the cargoand passengers.
The persons interested in the unslertaking rely that it
will all materially in facilitating the suppression of the
slave trade. All the vessels are full-rigged ships, and as
the steam power is a merely auxiliary, they are saiksi at
ssuall current expenses.

At Leghorn, on the last lay of the Carnival, a person.
disguised 114 the Emperor of the French, walked down
the streets with a ,olume in his hand, on which were
inscribed the words, "The Treaties of 18t5." At
every few steps the mimic stopped and tore a
page from the book, scattering it upon the ground in
fr.gments. After some time, however, the police inter-
fered and put an end to the repnmentation.
