Private letters received this afternoon by the
overland mail viii Marseilles, from the presidencies of
India and China, fully confirm the ace.unts of the
state of the 'inflicts at Canton, Bombay, and Cal-
cutta, of which a full report was given in a third
edition of Viis morning's piper, especially as regards
the two Lima ; we, therefore, merely supply a
few notices of the Calait,a market. Company's
paper had further impruvcd in value, and money
was abun,lant and cheap, with goad securities. The
exchartic c nti ue l steady at Is. 101 d. for 6 mortha'
sight first-class bills. Specie to the extent of
305,203 rupees had been shipped to England. The
prospects for the indigo crop in most districts were
not nnfavi urable, but rain wee beginning to
be much d to give stability to that re-
port. Tho total exports of indigo to the end
of April amounted to 35,1.16 chests, of which
26,233 were shipped to Great Britain. The Mo kon
hand available fir orders was not estimated beyond

300 chews. Sugar had improved from 2to 4a. naa
in price, particularly for the better qualities. The
exi»tts to Gr( at Britain to 30th April amounted to
146,500 mds. In saltretrc an a(!iive business was
doing for American a( count, which had caused an ad-
vance of 2a. The holders of raw silk were firm for

better prices, and, consequently, no business bad be en
done in it. The produce of the new bund was begin-
ning to arrive. Tetra was a good demand for shellac
and lac dye, and the priers were well mciutained.
Freights haiegain advanc d, and were quoted at N.
for sugar and rice, and 11. 15s. for saltpetre, to Lon-
don : and 7s. Od. to 101. lower to Liverpeol.
The accounts from Manilla to the 20th April an-
counce the re_eipt of our Junuary mail, the trews, by
which it was expected mould, in the course of the
aeasen, impart great activity to the export Reek,
ereehille in the article of sugar. With British
manufactures the market. was abundantly supplied.
Commercial letters of the 25th April from Java re-
port a fair demeed for grey and white shirtiree, nod
the market bare of twist both white and Turkey led.
With cambric s the market wee overstocked. Prints
were scare. English bar iron was saleable at 8 guilders
per picul. A tow lots of coffee of mixed qualify
had realised 111! to 1, and the markets to
the eastward had been cleared out. Sugar had been
sold at 121. Exchange on London was steady at 13,
and on Holland 95 for government bills.
The advice% from the Mauritius are to the 20111
April, at which date the overloud mail of the 24th
Feb. was daily expected to arrive. Most kinds of
Indian pr duce were rising in value, rice
excepted. The northern elistreta were suffering
from the want of rain, and the coming sugar
crop, it was expected, would not exceed 95 milieus
of pounds. There had been an active &meted for
the article at higher rates, and the shipments were
drawing to a close. The influx of coin, to the extent
of about 80,000/. in value, sines the beginning of the
year, was affordieg the merchants a medium of
remittance for returns, since sugar failed fcr
the purpose, and rather than pay the high premium
of exchange gold and silver were finding their way
out of the colony again. The exchanges were quoted
—for Treasury Bills, 30 days' eight, 6 per cent, pre-
mium; private bills, two to three months' sight, with
shipping documents. 2to 3 per cent. premium. East
India Company's bills on Calcutte, at GU days' light,
471 cents, per company's rupee.
To-day's advices from Liverpool as to the state of
the cotton market report another week of acieity,
the total tales ameunting to 42,000 bales, of which
14,100 American were taken on speculation. The
demand for goods and yarns in Mauchetter cordinued
brisk, which had given a degree of firmness to prices
in the Liverpool market, which were quoted Lci.
per pound dearer than the preceding week.
The following weekly report of the corn market
we extract from a cot. temporary
A very sensible rive has taken place in the price acorn
this week, which has not b en confined to Mark-lane and
the corn markets of nur cuuntre, but has extended to the
continent. On the Rhine and in France prices have sd
united considerably, the stocks b. ing small, and all tit et can
he obtained at the former rites being purchased fur the
North of England. Our present prices will not remunerate
the holders of grain abroad, and they must rise higher to
obtain supplies. Since last week wheat has risen from 2e to
3s per quarter, and on some of the very best Danzig a still
greater advance has been obtained. The home supplies for
the London markets for the week, 1,560 quarters, and the
foreign supplies, 2,410 quarters, me together very much be-
low the average supplies for many weeks back, and indicate
a further rise in the next ensuirg weeks.
There has been a manifest improvement in the
mining market, and many shares have changed hands,
especially in some of the leading and improving
mines, says the Mining Journal, in reference to the
last days of the post week.
Improvements hove been reported in Heignston Dawns,
Alfred Console, and Mary Ann, and shares have, conse-
quently, been in demand at former quonrions, and in the
latter especially an advance has taken place.
Camb Jens Consols have been done at our present quota-
tions, in anticipation of some important improvement being
near at hand.
The directors in Tamar Console, at their meeting, yester-
day, declared a dividend of 10 per cent, Tincroft is repre-
sented to be looking remarkably well ; 450 tons of copper
ore were sampled on Wednesday, the next will be consider-
ably more. In Ewalt Lli and Cwm Erfia a large number
of shares have found buyers, and the mines are represented
to be progressively improving, and will evidently, from
present prospects, become permanent mines.
The Welsh lead mines are stated to be generally in a very
productive position' and some important discoveries are fully
anticipated at Court Orange Mines (formerly Pen-y. Cefn )
Bargains in the following mines have been effected sifiCll
oar last:—Devon Great Console, West Caradon, South Bas-
set, West Buller, Trelawny, Mary Ann, South Frances,

At the gtray Park and Csmborne Vean meeting the ac-
counts show the retains for the four months ending April at
3,7971.35. 61., giving a profit of 6301. 18s. Id. ; balsrce in
Land, 1,2521. lls. 7d. A dividend of 103. per share was de-
clared, leaving credit of 7521. lls. 7d. to next account. The
agent's report of the present and future prospects of the mine
are highly encouraging ; but the present low standard pre-
cludes the possibility of giving large profits.
At the Condurrow meeting a dividend of 31 per share was
declared; the balance in hand is 691. The manager'sreport
is hahly satisfactory. The 80 fm. level has improved, and
the lode is now worth 501. per fat. for tin. The 70 cast is
worth 151. per fm. for copper, and the 30 east is also worth
151. per fm. ; the pitches are working at a favourable tribute
to the company, and the mine generally is looking well.
At the Wbcal Seton meeting the accounts show a profit of
2381. 151. 11d. on March and April workings, which, with
balance from lest account, gives a credit of 4071. 19. e 4d.
carded to next account. The prospects of the mine have
considerably improved since the lest meeting. The north
*taunter presents prospects of early improvement, the 'tepee
over the end producing 15 tons of ore to the fathom. The
80 end is producing 8 tons, and the 'topes in the back 12 tons
per fathom. The stopes in the back of the 70, on the south
part of the lode, are turning out 11 tons ; the north part of
the lode, which is not being taken away, will produce 8 tons
more. The other levels and stoprs are also productive,
turning out 3 and 4 tons per fethom. A number of pitches
is the variestui levels are worked on tribute, highly favourable
to the adventurers. A great deal of dead work has been
completed, and a charge 016001., caused by the erection of a
new stam-whim and crusher, is included in the above costs ;
