TALLOW MARKET.

Although the advices yesterday from St. Petersburgh state
a fall of several rubles in Tallow, yet as so much has been
given for the Tallow now held, it declines very reluctantly,
and we quote it to-day at 533. ad. for P. Y. C.
COLONIAL MARKET.
_ _

Very little doing in either East or West India produce, but
this is not unusual for the month of November. British Plan-
tation Sugar is in very languid demand, but cannot be quoted
lower. The conflicting accounts received yesterday from the
West Indies relative to the negroes working, has been without
effect on the market. Refined goods went slowly, at easier
prices. Double Crushed, under lock, is nominal, at 355. per
cwt. Coffee, 91 casks, 151 bags, and 29 barrels British
Plantation sold steadily at previous quotations. Tea is in
good demand at profits on sale prices, and so is Indigo.
The chief public sales to-day are drugs; for to-morrow we have
public sales of 1,500 bales Surat Cotton, and 260 Madras ; 1,095
bags Manilla Sugar, and 130 casks of Barbadoes ; 500 boxes
Cassia Lignea, 1,300 bags Ginger, 1,150 bags Ceylon
Coffee, and 300 admissible at the 9cl. per lb. duty, besides
61 bags Manilla Rice. The Imports are light to-day.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 31.
The sales to-day amount to 5,000 bags, for which vester.
day's prices were readily obtained. The greatest steadinets
prevails amongst the large holders, who have the fate of our
market entirely in their hands for some time hence. 300
Surat, 40. to sd. ; .150 Maranham, Bd. to 81-d. ; 50 Bahia,
; 4,500 American, 6d. to Bd. ;—Total 5,000.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Arrivals this morning.—French and Ostend MaPs, Ship_
letters from Manilla. South America, Antigua, Malaga, and
Gambia ; St. Petersburgh, by the Sirius.
Extract from Hobart Town Papers to the 30th June :
" In our Journal the week before last, we supplied our readers
with an abstract of the colonial rever ua of Van Diemen's Land,
for the first quarter of the year, 1838, compared with that of
the corresponding quarter for the year 1837. As far as the in-
ternal industry and commerce of the colony are concerned, the
colonists have every reason to be amply satisfied, for the excess
of the revenue for the quarter, amounts to 2,0001., but when
we come to look at the falling off of the land revenue, the co-
lonists have, indeed, reason to regret the imprudent measures
pursued by the British Government with respect to the saleof
land.

" In the general total there is a decrease of upwards of 5,0001.
The result of the whole is a deficiency in the Revenue of
5,1901., so that it is very certain that either the local Govern-
ment must draw upon the British Treasury, or that our ex-
penses must be curtailed."

This day being a holiday both at the Bank and Stock Ex-
change, causes a dullness in the City. Seveml brokers are in
attendance at the various coffee-houses to operate in private
bargains; but at present we do not hear of any transactions
worth noticing.

POSTED AT THE NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICAN COFFEE.
HOUSE.—" BRISTOL, OCT. 31.—The Great Western steamer
was seen on Sunday at seven o'clock in the morning, 135
geographical miles from King's Road. I have no doubt she
got to the west of Cape Clear long before twelve o'clock on
Sunday night, when the gale came on which for about three
hours was to the eastward and south."

We hear that a few private bargains in Consols have been
done in the Coffeehouse at yesterday's leaving-off prices, but
not to any great extent. Consols 93:i for the Account, very
few merchants or brokers are in attendance as yet in the City,
owing to the rainy weather, and the non-arrival of any Con-
tinental news of importance ; Spanish also remains at the
closing price of 17K, the other Foreign Securities same.
Dutch mail not as yet arrived.

NEW RAILWAY.--The Sheffield and Rotheram
Railway was opened yesterday.
On Monday rimming last, at daybreak, a brig was
seen on shore on the Horsebank, a short distance from South-
port, on which she hsd struck during the night and almost
instantly filled with water. The crew, which consisted of the
captain, mate, and three seamen, fortunately escaped, the cap-
tain and two seamen in a most miraculous manner. On the
vessel filling with water the mate and one seaman got into the
small boat, and before the captain and the other two seamen
could get over the side of the vessel the boat drifted away,
and it was found impossible at that time to pull her up again.
The captain and the two seamen who were left on the wreck,
as the only alternative to preserve their lives, let down a small
skiff belonging to the brig, and which was so small as to be
considered by the two men who had escaped in the boat as
quite incapable of being the least assistance to them ; they,
however, succeeded in landing at Lytham, but not 'without
being capsized in about five feet of water. They were soon
rJscued from their perilous situation by some Lytham boat-
on shore. In the moan tints
several we
men, who.broull•manghvitetdhbe
olnatssafhelL put off from Southport, under
the direction of Captain W. Ball and the two seamen who
escaped in the boat, the wind blowing a complete hurricane, to
render assistance to the captain and men, whom they stlytpoied
to be still on the wreck. On reaching the bank, and finding
no person there, the boats put off to Lytiiarn, where the unfor.
tunate mariners met, and gladly recognised each other. Tilo
name of the vessel is the Edward, of Ulverstor,i., 4,jund from
Drogheda to Lancaster, with a cargo of meal, barley, and peas.
Part of the rigging has hest ::veil, hut it is feared the cargo
will be a total los§. Much praise is due to Captain Ball for his
manly and humane exertions in behalf of these slairreeke4
rivers,.—Liverpool Standard.
