ness transacted, and prices have remained without any
change of importance.

active, and good and fine qualities have fully sustained pre-

instances been a shade cheaper. In the refined

tended to depress quotations.

Plantation and Native Ceylon, and
good and fine qualities
fully sustain the late advance.

in the better descriptions, chiefly for home consumption;
prices, however, remain steady.
SALTPETRE.—BnBincss has bees dull, without any
material alteration in prices.
TALLOW.—The market has continued dull, the chief
operations having been for home consumption. Prices,
however, remain steady at 48s 6d for spot and last three
months, and 49s to 49s 6d for spring delivery.

DOG AND LOBSTER,—.A. few evenings ago (says
the Montreal Witness) a large, thorough-bred bulldog, was
pissing by the store of Mr. M. O'Hara, in Craig-street, when
its attention wa3 attracted by the movements of a gigantic
lobster, crawling in front of the door. The dog attacked
the lobster, when the latter at once showed fight, extended
its tremendous claws, and seized its antagonist by the leg.
The dog vainly endeavorsed to pierce its adversary's coat
of mail, but still continued to fight. At length the lobster,
letting go its hold of the dog's leg, grasped the animal's tail
with its powerful weapons of offence, and the dog at once
relinquished the contest and ran, Qft, , its adversary still
maintaining its hold. A; the corner of St. Lawrence Main-
street the lobster was detached, when the dog bolted, and
in a few minutes was out of sight. A large crowd Witnessed
this singular combat, aid were as inn,ch surprised at its
