MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o' Clock .—The returns of the revenue are con-
sidered to show better than might have been antici-
pated from the unfavourable reports in circulation
for some time put. For the quarter the ordinary
receipts are nearly indeed upon a balance with those
of the corresponding quarter of last year. The funds,
however, have been in decline this morning,
notwithstanding this more encouraging phase of the
revenue returns. The approach of the threatened
monster meeting of Chartists on Monday on Ken-
nington-common, is beginning to excite grave appre-
hensions for the preservation of the peace. Com-
plaints are made against the government for omitting
to take measures for the prevention of a gathering
like that announced from all parti of England. It is
argued that, without interfering with the right of pe-
tition, the people should at all events be restricted to
meetings in their own localities, as, if no other ob-
jects were in view among their leaders, would na-
turally be the case.
In consequence of these apprehended disturbances,
we have Consols down to 801 to -! for money and
account, which is a fall of per cent. from the prices
of yesterday. Reduced Threes are 78j to 9, ex-di-
vidend Three-and-a-Quarter per (,nts., 791 to 80,
ex-dividend. Exchequer Bills, however. are again
higher, at 40s. to 449. premium.
In foreign stocks we have the same stagnation of
business to report. Mexican are lower, at 14; to t.
Spanish Fives, 9} to 101 ; the Threes, 17 to 18.

IiEwCASTLE, April 4.—The weather within the last three
days has become extremely sultry, but to-day the tempera-
ture is cooler, the wind having veered to the north-west.
Towards the conclusion of the week, upon all dry roils, our
farmers will be occupied with seeding operations, and,
during the time they are thus employed, we look: for
the deliveries falling of most extensively, when we should
hope a stop will be put to any further depression
in the trade. At our market this morning we had a less
supply of Wheat from the growers, and the condition being
still moderate, sales could only be made by submitting to a
decline of Is. to 2s. per qr. ; but south country and foreign
qualities were not so pressingly offered so of late, and upon
the whole a fair amount of business was done, at the full
rates of Saturday, the market at the same time closing
firmly. For Flour there was not much doing, households
being taken sparingly, at 3a.. to 375. per sock, according to
quality. Rye, Beans, and Peas, nominally unaltered.
Malting Barley sold scarcely so well; but Malt, on account
of its scarcity, reslized fully former terms. Oats without
change.
_ _

Rom roan, April 5.-Our market to-day was very
dull, and Wheat, 2s. to 3s. per quarter lower ; other
things same as last week. Wheat, 445. to 565. Barley,
30s. to 345. ; grinding, 25e. to 295. Oats, 20s. to 28a. Beans,
305. to 365. Peas, 325. to 38s. Rye, 275. to 305.
SPALDING, April 4.-At this day's market we have had a
good show of Wheat samples ; but little business doing, at a
decline of 2s. per quarter, although the condition is some-
what improved. Beans, the turn dearer. Oats, without
alteration.
Dyntisr, April 4.-With moderate supplies we have to
note a dull market this day for all descriptions of grain on
our Corn Exchange; we do not alter quotations, and therefore
repeat those of Friday. The following was the general
currency : Wheat, white, 28s. to 30s. ; red, 26.. to 28s. per
2801bs. Oats, 9.. Gd. to lls. per 1961 be. Barley, 15e. to 175.
per 22411 m. Oatmeal, 10s. to Ils. 6d. per ewt. Flour, 1.55. to
liis. per cwt. for seconds. Indian Corn, 265. to 31s. per
480ba.

BELFAST, April 3.-Since Friday there have been very
small supplies of grain forward, and prices are in all sorts un-
changed. Wheat, 9s. to 1 le. Barley, Gs. tole. Oats, 6s. to
6s. 9d. Oatmeal, 10s. 6d. tolls. 6d. per cwt. Indian Corn
is in moderate demand at former prices; yellow, 61. 101. to
61. 15s. ; white, 6/ 15s. to 71. per ton.
DANTZIC, March 31.-The supplies of Wheat hitherto
received do not exceed 591 b. in weight, and improving them
in the open air is not at this season to be thought of. Since
our last, 80 lasts have been 501d,571b. to 5816., at 355. to 375.;
591bs ,at 395. AR three vessels have been chartered for
Amsterdam, we thir k these purchases arc likely to be em-
p dyed towards Bach shipments, with a mixture of old or
new Wheat from granary. A 900. qr. vessel has been taken
for L ,radon et 31. 9d., and one of similar sire for Liverpool,
at 4s. Holders in the interior seem unwilling to send
down further supplies sit losiag prices ; and in Poland the
markets are rising, which may also be followed by a suspen-
sion of shipments. The late important events affectiag our
system of government, have not exercised any injurious
influence on our city nor eur province; we have no agitation
whatever, and order has not been in any way disurbed.
Bills on London are as easy as ever of negotiation by good
drawers. At this day's market about 180 lasts of new sup-
plies have been offered, some of which, of fine colour, but not
exceeding 591 h. weight--only 10 lasts, have been s Ad at 39s
LEGHORN, March 29.-Our grain market is very dull,
and prices are declining. Fine Polish and Merianopoli
Wheat, 6111h5., may be had at 40s. 6d. per or. on board. Of
Indian Corn there are one or two cargoes of Galata, weighing
about 621' a., which mi lit be obtained at about 245. sd. per
qr. on board. Egyptian Beans plentiful, sod may bought at
about 19s. 2d. per qr. on board. Vessels are offering, and
freight may be quoted at 4s. and 10 per cent.
ROSTOCE, March 30.-The last sales of really fine Wheat
bare been at 41s, to 425. f.o.b. These last days we have not
had any supplies, which will now discontinue altogether for
a month or two.

HOPS.—BAsiriosToKE, April s.—The fine, warm
weather of the last five or six days has done wonders to the
young Hop plant, causing them to grow so amazingly fast
that labourers cannot he found expert enough to pole them.
The same has also caused the Hops of last year's growth to
go down since this day week. Fine, bright Farahams were
offering this day at 5/. to 51. ss. per cwt. ; beat Crendal's md

able number of good Cows and Heifers; many fetched high
prices; first. rate Alderneys, with a calf, made from 16/. to Ili&
the pair ; moderate, 131. to 141. Cows and Heiler., down
calving, or within a month, sold also freely, at high prices.
Best butchers' Calves were sold at reduced terms. from sd.
to Sid. per lb. befog the top prices. Pigs were numerous;
trade dull.

Emmen, April 6.—Of C►ttle there was a good supply,
by far the more con,iderable part consisting of store. The
show of fat Bullocks was large, yet sone prime articles were
again driven home. The show of Sheep was by no means
large, and although some prime lots met a sale, others
were taken home. As respects fat Bullet ks and Sheets,
prices were not worse. The quotations for fat Bullocks must
be stated at from 63a. to nearly 595. per cwt., or from 9u. 6d.
to about 10s. 4d. per score. Butchers' Calves continue in
large supply and good sale, at from 41d. to 6d. per lb. The
quotations for fat Sheep must be stated at from 60. to
per lb. Couples were from 40e. to 50s. per couple. Fat Lambs

so largely supplied so last week; prices about the same.
