VENICE.

The siege operations against Venice have been dis-
continued, in consequence of the fatal prevalence of
fever and sickness among the Austrian troops, occa-
sioned by the excessive heat and hard work. The
batteries were reduced to silence and the activity of
the besiegers is limited to the establishment ot'a strict
blockade by land and sea. In this way it is thought
that the reduction of Venice may be procured without
further bloodshed.

MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

A slight increase has taken place in the arrivals of
English Wheat for our market this week. To-day the
show of samples, several of which were the refuse of
Monday, was moderately good. Very few buyers were
in attendance, and the demand for all kinds of Wheat of
home produce was exceedingly heavy, and, where sales
took place, prices were the turn lower than on Monday,
without effecting a clearance. Only 4,720 quarters of
Foreign Wheat have come to hand; but several large
cargems are shortly expected from the Black Sea. Se-
lected qualities were heavy at about stationary prices,
but all other kinds were somewhat easier to purchase.
Owing to the large arrival of foreign, the Barley trade
was heavy, at a decline in prices of Is. per quarter, and
no progress could be made in sales at that amount of de-
pression. Malt, the supply of which was small, sold
slowly, at unaltered currencies. Very few English Oats
were on show, but the supply of foreign was large,
24,060 quarters. The Oat trade ruled heavy, and prices

BOROUGH HOP IHARILET.
From nearly the whole of tbe. plantations in Sussex
and Kent, our accounts agree in stating that a poor
prJspect is held nut to the planters this year. Although
the fine rains of the present week have been very bene-
fieial to the bine, a limited growth of Hops is pretty
generally anticipated. Our market is, therefore, firm
for all good and fine Hops, at further improved rates;
but the actual business doing is not extensive. In old
Hops very few transactions have taken place. The duty
is 'called from 50.000/. to 70,0001. Sussex pockets,

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of Beasts on sale in to-day's market was
very small, and of but middling quality. Although the
number of buyers in attendance was not large, the beef
trade ruled firm, and in some few instances the prices of

the bent Scots were the turn higher. With Sheep we
were tolerably wAI, but not to say heavily supplied,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was less doing in Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day; prices, however, remained firm at Woduesday's
quotations. The sales were 7,000 bales, of which 1,000
were taken by speculators —ln Railway Shares the de-
mand for all de:tcriptions was limited.
There is but little business doing in Mark Lane to-
day, and wheat is Is. to 2s. lower nominally. The ar•
rivals are 4,720 quarters of wheat, 14,970 of barley, and
24,060 of oats.
' The Produce Markets have been rather quiet this
week, and the supply of sugar and some other articles
is fuller. Indigo has scarcely held so brisk a sale
either. Cotton has been firm.

An arrival from the Cape of Good Hope furnishes
adviees of May 9. A vessel had arrived in the Eastern
province with a number of boys sent out by the philan-
thropic society, and they weft all engaged in a few
hours. Still great suspicion attached to these
"exiles," as some of the local papers style
them, and there was a disposition to regard their
introduction as an experiment preparatory to the arrival
of convicts: The colony is certainly much in need of
labour, but sioutly resists any measure of supply that
would appear to convert it into a penal settlement.
Adviees from the Continent have been received by
seve:al of the mails. The fair of l3eaucaire is stated to
be going off favourably, and a considerable number of
foreign bu) era were in the market. The Sardinians and
Spaniards, however, had not yet arrived.
At Haveturgb, on Tuesday last, the rate of Ex-
change on London was 13 10, an the price of gold
was 437. Bills at all dates were in request. Money
was very abundant, and Funds and Shares were
more active. From St. Petersburgh, under date
of the 10th instant, we learn that business was brisker,
but that this arises chiefly from the execution of old
contracts, and not from fresh orders given. The Bres.
lan wool market was very animated on the 11th inst.
It may be us, ful to remind parties that newspapers
forwarded through Prussia to Turkey, Servia, the
Levant, Greece, Rapt, the lonian Islands, and the
Italian States, not belonging to Austria, are,liable to a
postage of ld. us the Prussian rate, consequently lid.
on each must now be paid in advance here.
The Funds are still rather dull, hut the intelli-
gence received 01 the conclusion of the Danish armis-
tice is calculated to give strength to the market,
and has in reality prevented a decline. Con-
sols have been 92i to 93/ for transfer, and 93 to
for account, and are now 92 to 93 and 93 to /.
Bank Stock is a ell supported at 199 to 200, and South

In Foreign Securities the dealings have
been trifling, and many of the jobbers
have left town. There are certain speculators,
however, who are still very active in depressing
Mexican Bo:ids, which have ranged from 26; to f
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 30/ to 30/.
Buenos Ayres Bonds are 44. Dutch Two and-a-Halt

Sews few of the Railway Stares are rather better,
and others barely good. North Western have im-
proved; 13r4h toll look well; Aberdeen have touched 19,t,
and the York lines are about the same.
