Of the tallow trade for the week, is reported upon
in Mr. F. J. Eaton's circular as follows :

Until Wedn

he Londor

and all this month ; on the afternoon of that day there was
a small forced sale at 57s per cwt, which had the temporary
effect of depressing the market, but yesterday there was an
improved feeling, and at the close the prices were 57s 6d to
58s per cwt spot and month, 53s April, 62s June, and 51s
per cwt buyers Oct. Dec. The halt week delivery is 542
casks, against 619 last year ; and the stock on the 3rd inst.
was 23,726 casks, against 36,610 in 1855. There has been
rather more doing here, but at easier prices, 67s to 583 for
P.Y.C. prices, 55s 6d for fine North American, and 54s per
cwt for Neapolitan.

A telegraphic despatch from Semlin, by way of
Vienna, announces that news from Constantinople
had arrived there, to the effect that a new issue of
paper money had been sanctioned to the amount
of 100.000,000 piastres. The measure is stated to
have created much dissatisfaction among the
members of the divan. On the other hand, it will
be a boon to the banking and commercial branches
of foreign houses established there, who have to
contend with the daily fluctuations in the rates of
exchange, as it will tend to their better regulation

The committee of Mexican bondholders have re-
ceived advices from Mexico to the 2d February ;
but an expected remittance of 45,000 dollars in the
hands of the British consul at Vera Cruz was not
forwarded, in consequence of some difficulty in
obtaining a permit to send it by the packet.
Mexican affairs generally continue to be in an
unsatisfactory state. The minister of finance had
sent in his new tariff bill to the committee, altering
the duties on imports.

By telegraph from Madrid it is announced, that
the commission appointed to examine the project
of the new minister of finance, relative to the
substitution of an indirect tax for the octroi duties,
has been rejected.

Accounts from Berlin state that new bank
projects are increasing to such extent that the
government are taking into consideration the
question of putting a stop to the extraordinary issue
of bank notes.
