THE MAURITIUS.—The advises from Mauritius come
down to the sth of April. The steamers Hydaspes,
Queen of the South, and Bosphorus, had successively
arrived within a few days. Imports having latterly
proved scarce all articles of general consumption had
advanced. The hurricane season'had nearly passed, and
the weather on the whole had been considered favour-
able. With regard to transactions in exchange, docu-
ment bills had been in demand, and were sought for at
21- to 3 discount. Bank Post and Treasury bills were
negotiable at par to 1 per cent. p.m., and par was asked
for Australian Bank bills on London. The Oriental
Bank continued to draw on India at 511 and 514 per
Company's rupee, and on England at par to 1 per cent.
discount. The sugar-market had been steady, with a
very moderate demand, and prices ranged, according
to quality, from $3 20c. to $5 60c. The quantity
shipped to the 2d of April was 126,559,3421 b., against
119,291,0901 b. at the same period in 1852. The great
absence of tonnage had caused an improvement in the
rates for freight ; 3/. 10s. had been readily paid for the
United Kingdom ; 4/. lOs. to Port Philip and 41. to
Van Diemen's Land. No arrivals of oxen had lately
taken place, and theoports of Madagascar remained
closed ; beef in consequence was selling at is. per lb.
Rice was quiet. Wheat and flour of recnt importation
had obtained high prices.
THE CALORIC SHIP ERICSSON.—This ship is now
lying at her dock in Williamsburgh. Important alter-
ations are going on in her machinery, which the owners
are °confident will considerably increase her speed. She
will be shortly ready to sail for London. Captain Erica-
-8011 will go out in her to Europe.—New York Paper,
