Foua Liu LOST.—Considerable sensation was
caused in the town of Poole on Tuesday, in consequence of
four men basing been found crowned in tabs vicinity ot
Creekutosplake, in Poole harbour. Their names are :
Daniel Thranap, smith; Stephen Hine, ditto; J ohs Hookey,
ditto; and W. Bristow*, shoemaker. It appeared that
Thrump and Bristow* had walked toCreekmore the previous
evening, distant about two miles from this town, the former
fur the purpose of getting a bird's nest, and being about to
leave, they had joined Ring and Monkey, and got into a
canoe to return by water. The boat, it appears, was hardly
capable of containing two persons. Between eight and nine
a boat, with four persons in it, was observed by a man named
Billows proceeding down the lake, and he watched them till
they had gained apparently about a mile. Early on Tuesday
morning a ClOO4 was found, bottom upwards, at some dis-
tance from the place, and this circumstance, coupled with
the feet of the men having been from their respective homes
all night, caused great anxiety ; two boats' crews were
in search of thtm, Before noon all four bodies
were picked up, about four hundred yards from the place
where they had embarked. A coroner's inquest was held,
when a verdict of " Found drowned," was recorded. All
foes of them were young men, and two of them have left
wives and families.

says:—" The lose of the Viceroy steamer has caused p very
general feeling of regret, especially as regards its dim-in:ag-
ing effect on the new experiment, although no low of life has

MOREY MARKET.

Mommas 31111:111310.
Hamburg letters of the 22ad mention a quiet coffee
market, the transacUona of the week beiag only 8,600.
bags Brasil, 'without any observable change in prior,
real ordinary being WA quoted 4j to 4* sob. Con-
trary to the general impression that previously pre-
vailed, the advance which was obtained at the late
public sales of sugar in Holland had not made the
least itaprmnion on the market for that article; the
Wes were limited to about 1,100 chests Havannah, at
previous rata. In cotton more animation had pre-
' veiled at advancing prime, and the stook was cau-
-1 siderably reduced. Hides were in demand, and
several transactions are reported at higher rates.
Indigo was in good request. About 600 casks
°maimed Beal Oil had met with a ready male at 441
to 46* marks. In Bpelter there was no
alteration. Transactions in Fleece Wool at
18 to 20liseb, were constantly occurring. Tne Grain
market was doll, and prices were nominal. The
weather was exceedingly favourable for the growing
crops. Gold was quoted 433 marks; and the ex-
change 13.91 for short. Funds were very firm, with
some business doing. Hessian English Loan, 106;
ditto Fenr-aed•srHalf per Cent., 931; Danish Three
per Cent, 1825, 72j; ditto Five per Cent., 97; Nor-
wegian Pour per Cent., 100; Spanish Interior, 31.
At New York the 03tton market had been reacted
ectreClONislasolimro4nsmoruecoovate Itom some
the producing districts, an prices bad receded fe.
and were still looking down. The decrease of cotton
at all the shipping ports up to the latest date was
665,943 bales, and the total exports to foreign places
were 805,644 bales less than last year. Rather more
activity was observable in the dry goods trade, and
prices generally were well sustained, particularly for
cottons, printing cloths excepted, which bad declined
to 410. to sc. per yard, at which 25,000 pieces had been
disposed of : 2,697 packages of dry goods had been
entered for consumption during the weak, valued at
777,000 dol.; 449 packages, valued at 102,829 dole.,
entered for warehousing; and 127 packages, valued
at 29,081 dole., withdrawn from warehouse. The
entire value gone into oonsomption is 806,300 dole.
The annual importe of what is called dry goods for
the two last years, ending the 30th June, were the
following. The first table showing the amount en-
tered for c.insumption

is made up of dry goods. The following is the amount

It may be remarked u indicating the growth of
the commerce of New York, that the imports at that
port for the fiscal year just ended, (of which a sum-
mary was given in this morning'r paper) are within
four milliun of dollars of the entire imports of the
United Suites in 1844-5. A comparison of the ag-
gregate exports and imports from New York, shows
the imports to amount to 60 per cent of the total
goods introduced into the country, and the exports to
321 per tent. of the merchandise sent out of the
country. If this proportion hold good for the year
1849-50, the aggregate imports of the United States
will amount to 189,587.090 dollars, and the exports to
137,166,500 dollars. The receipts for duties have

The amount of C3llll in the sub-treasury was
2,200,000 d 01.., and the amount at the disposal of the
government in all the sub-treasuries was about ten
million dollars. The last payment on the three-
and a half millions of the Mexican indem-
nity, amounting to 462,000 dollars, bad been
made to Mr. Belmont, the agent fur Messrs. Roths-
child.. The steamer Philadelphia had arrived from
Chagrca, and brought about 2,500,000 dole. value in
gold dust. The money market continued to be abun-
dantly @applied, and the banks were seeking employ-
ment for their funds. Loans on call were at 4 to 3
per cent., and first clue paper was doing at 41 to 6
per cent. The exchange on England was quoted
1091 to 110 i. In the stock market there was no
change of importance. The demand for investment
has been to a fair extent, and prices generally were
well maintained. The quotations for government
socks, however, have not been firm. Sixes of 1867

The commercial news from Rio is somewhat in-
teresting. Previous to the arrival of the English
packet of April 22, the prices of coffee
had given way, and about 13,000 bags changed
hands at 4 dol.. to 4 dole. 20, for superior ; 3,700 to
3,900 for good firsts; and 3,500 to 3,600 for regular.
The advice., however, by the packet being considered
more encouraging for the article, gave rise to a very
active demand, and about 65,000 bag. were subse-
quently disposed of at gradually advancing prices,
which became firm at 4,300 to 4,500 for superior, and
other qualities in proportion. The receipt, however,
of dates to the 20th April, by way of Havre, which
came to hand on the sth June, being less encourag-
ing, purchasers withdrew from the market, and the
above quotations must be considered nominal. As there
were not above 55,000 begs coffee at market for sale,
and the supplies moreover were moderate, the dealers
were firm in their demands, and would not lower
their terms. With the exception of 20,000 bags for
the United States, the entire of the above sales were
destined for Europe. Very few of the purchases made
in May had yet been shipped, the entire shipments
for that month being only 53,909 bags, against
106,926 bags in May last year. Sugar was selling at
2,800 to 3 dole. for first whites, and 1,700 to 1,900 for
browns. Hides were quoted 170 rs. for light, and
165 rs. for heavy. Imports had been very moderate,
which it was expected would have a favourable influ-
ence on the demand. Exchange had declined from
28d. to 271 d. and 27id.
