During the past week the markei for
Foyeign
and Colonial Produce, both here and in I.'ontt", ,
have manifested a dull appeafanee, and price:.'` h'ive
in some instances tended downwards. For Sli:gar
the demand is limited, and prices have receded _te
to 2s per cwt. During the last two days. however,
there has been rather more inquiry, which hag
produced increased firmness. In Coffee the trans
actions have been very small. Holders, however,
are unwilling to accept lower rates, and the market
is thus supported. Tea has been in fair request,
and common Congou is held at is 21 per lb.
A fair inquiry has prevailed for Jamaica and
Demerara Ruin at steady quotations. Cocoa has
advanced is to 2s per cwt., and Rice continues
inactive. There is no particular alteration to
notice in Spices. Saltpetre remains firm, and
Tallow rather tends upwards. The public sales of
Colonial Wool have been well attended, and the bid-
dings, by both home and foreign purchasers have
been active. The demand for the finer qualities
is brisk and the rates realized at the commence
merit being ld to lid per lb. advance on
the previous sales, closing prices were fully
supported. The London public sales of Indigo
have also been brought to a termination, and during
their progress full prices have been realised fur all
qualities. Bengals and Kurpahs advanced from 3d
to 9d per lb., and other descriptions 41 to 61 Of
the quantity brought forward, viz., 13,132 chests, it
is estimated that 1,933 chests have been bought in,
5,186 withdrawn, and 6,013 sold, to which must be
added about 1,000 chests of previously b 'ught-iti
lots, making the total chests sold about 7,000, of
which 4,500 were for export, and 2,500 for home
consumption.
Letters from St. Petersburg estimate the total
supply of Tallow this season at 115,000 to 120,000
casks, of which about 20,000 are expected to reach
that city by the end of the present month (old
style). It is thought that the supply next year will
be very large, owing to the abundance of cattle
and sheep in the interior. At the great fair, just
held at Orenburg, no less than 350,000 sheep were
on sale, owing to the high prices, against 200,000
last year:

The East India Company have ordered the
undermentioned vessels to be surveyed, prepara-
tory to accepting them for the conveyance of troops
to India, viz., the steamers Scotland, Australian,
Victoria, Golden Fleece, Lady Jocelyn, and
Sydney ; and the ships Champion of the Seas,
Genghis Khan, Fore-runner, Warrior Queen, James
Baines, and Vernon. The Marlborough is also to
he surveyed for the conveyance of stores to India.
It is stated that the sum agreed to be paid for the
hire of the steamers Golden Fleece and Lady
Jocelyn is at the rate of 491. per head.
We are informed that a large quantity of telegraph
stores has been despatched by the ship William
and Mary for Bagdad, and that Lieutenant Arthur
Hawes, of the East India Company's service, and
other executive officers of the European and Indian
Junction Telegraph Company, will start forthwith
for that town for the purpose of immediately com-
mencing the construction of the line of telegraph
proposed by the company.
The 40,500/. in Australian gold brought to Suez
by the Simla is expected to reach London next
week. The steamer Great Britain sailed from
Melbourne for Liverpool on the 213 t of May with
101.647 ounces of gold on freight, worth about
406,5001., and has, therefore, been at sea 63 days.
This steamer made her last passage out in 61
days. Amongst the other shipments of gold
from Australia for this country were 116,486
ounces by the Indomitable (steamer) and Swiftsure,
and 112,492 ounces by the James Baines, Light-
ning, Summer Cloud, and Sardinian. Deducting
the 241,0001. brought by the James Baines (which
arrived at Liverpool on the 12th instant), the
remittances above specified (inclusive of the sum
by the Simla) represent the important aggregate
of about 1,122,0001. sterling.
At Constantinople on Wednesday, the exchange
on London was quoted 133 to 1331, showing a fur-
ther advance. This indicates continued disbelief in
the success of the financial movements in progress,
both as regards the attempted loan and the native
bank project.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—THREE GUARDSMEN DR OW NED.—
A lamentable accident, by which three lives have been
lost, has occurred in Dublin Bay. So far (says the Free-
man's Journal) as could be ascertained, it appears that
eight persons, nearly all belonging to the brigade of
Guards, now stationed at the Royal Barracks, and incleiling,
an officer, went out on a pleasure excursion in a fors;-oaredboat, which alto carried a sail. They hed been rowing
about during the day, and in the evening, when about a
mile and a half off Kingstown Harbour,
Howth, the boat unfortunately s',.anding towards
05Pslzid, and the whole
party were immersed in the water. Some of them clang
to the overturned boat, others to the oars, and the
remainder kept above water bY swimming. Happily the
accident was observed on bo'ir r(1 the Isle of Bute steamer,
which was engaged ut thr time towing a large vessel to
Dublin, and with praise'sorthy humanity and promptitude
the master (John HaT'es) at once caused the tow-rope to be
cast off, and the course of the streamer directed to the men
who were strugeng for life J.P. the water. The steamer
had to come a d;.stalwe of 'sore than a mile to the scene of
the accident, and. Igo
regret to state that before it arrived
three of the lie
;.-ertunate boating party sunk to rise no
more—one
Dance, . whom was a corporal of the Guards, named
stew-
Lae other five were rescued by the master of the
oe
a. and several of his men, whb gallantly jumped
- •
.erboard, and picked them up almost oa the point of
sinking from utter exhaustion.

NAItROW ESCAPE.—On Saturday, a man having come
down to the beach for the purpose of bathing, observed
something lying at a little distance. Making up to the
object he discovered it to be the clothes of some one, and
on further search he found a gentleman lying with his face
towards the beach, apparently just emerged from the water.
Supposing he was asleep, the man endeavoured to rouse
him by shaking, but notwithstanding all his effmts he
showed no signs of animation. Feeling alarmed, the man
was about to go for assistance, when he heard a faint cry
from behind him, and on returning he found it proceed
from the individual he had just left, who had now some-
what revived. Lifting him upon his shoulders, he carried
him to a neighbouring house, where, by means of restora-
tives, he soon recovered, On coming round, lie related
that he went into the water to bathe about half-an-hour
before the arrival of the mau. Shortly after, he was
suddenly seized with giddiness, and on endeavouring to go
out, he fell towards the beach with his feat in the water,
where he lay quite insensible till the man arrived. It was
providential that he fell towards the beach, as, had he
fallen the other way, he must have been inevitably drowned.
Delicate persons who are subject to these fits ought never
to attempt bathing unless accompanied by a friend. it
was by the merest chance that this individual was caved
froPl a watery grave‘--Duncleo Courier.

participate in the activity shown towards beef, there being
n abundant supply of Irish. which is freely offered at
termer rates.

BACON : The demand is only moderately active, and
there being a good deal of anxiety shown by holders to
make progress, buyers operate sparingly in the expectation
of still lower rates. The late decline has doubtless helped
consumption, but there is still a large stock to be worked
off.

LARD is lower 6d. to is per cwt, without leading to txmch
business, the sales for the week barely reaching 50 tons.
