t St. Petersburg a company, under the title
o Mercurius," is beinr incorporated for the purpose
of es'ablishing steamers on the Wo'gt, Oka, and
Kama Rivers, and their real eceive tributaries, for the
conveyance of goods and passengers. The capital
proposed to be raised is 760,000 silver Rs., in shares of
250 R'. each. The import duties at St. Petersburg
for the first six months of the present year amounted
to 4.866,000 Rs., being a trifle leu than the corres-
ponding period of the preceding year. The commer-
cial advices from thence report a dull market for
tallows, with receding prices. Hemp and flax were
beginning to arrive. Sugar was dull, and the Ex-
change on Landon the same as last mail.
We give the following particulars of the Pernam-
buco market, dated June 4, taken from the eit culor of
one of the leading houses. We a'e asp csally
prompted to do so, as the tele.grapLie despat:l
copied by most of our cotemparanes quoted the ex-
change incorrectly :
Gunpowder is wanted, a.d first arrival will do well. The
government hoe withdrawn the prohibition of the sale of this
n rticle. Cotton: This motirl-bubeenin lees demand of late.
In consequence of the rainy weather, supplies from the
country have fallen off, otherwise we might have seen our
I rims lower. Sugar: We are now in the midst of our
rainy season, which, from present appearance", will be very
revere hut promises well for the next crop. There are very
few really good sugars now to be had ; those at present
arriving from the country are nre.saarily damp fern the
weather. The shipments last mouth a count to 1,086 costa,
3,423 barrels, and 58,993 bags, or about 5,400 tons.—
Exchange : In coimemenco of the very few Wpm nta now
snaking: our rite has experienced a further decline, and
mmey is obtaipable today at 240.—Freights : Shipping
still contlavi very plentuul, and we ar.not notion any im-
primate Iffitur rates, Oa the contrary they look duller

The com,netcial news from our \Vent Indian colo-
nies do no' es.nvey anything of inter at. The mer-
chlnts are, ens• and all, vociferous in their complaints
of the irreguleri:y of the mail 4 by the Bermuda roue
since the es•abhs.trrtert of which, they ay. r, the
steamer carrying the first male of the mo•+th hu
never once arrived at the time it wan du.t, wh le the
second mails of the retonth are miserly ever behind
their time. It certainly is greatly to be lem••sted
that the same regularity i.tecot obs reed in the arrivals
by way of Bermudt, that is seldom deviated from by
the steamers by way of Mandan.
At Trinidad and Antigua rah. kad faller, producing
much benefit to the sod. At the former about
130 000 hlids. of the crop had been collected, and a
considerable portion of the Antigua orop had bum

Letters from Demerara mention that the dietree
was very great, and that the coat of pacy bed peti-
tioned the legielature to rescind the civil list ordi-
nance of 1844, on the ground that the colony is
unable to pay it.
From Harbadoes abut 23,000 lthda. sugar had

for the winter demand, and with goods destined for
