PROVISION MARKET.

For the last four or five weeks the dealers have mostly been out of
this Market. Their stocks must be low ; and if this weather continue
the dealers must come to buy. At present there is but little doing, and
prices of all kinds unvaried from last week.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

To-day there are no public sales whatever, and by private contract
but little stirring. As far as the disposition to sell shows itself in the
prospective state of the markets from advertisements, there is not much
manifest. The sales for this week at present announced are but few.
The chief articles are Rice, Saltpetre, and Bengal Sugar ; there are also
some Drugs.
For to-morrow we have advertisements of Rice and Salt-
petre to a large amount. Holders have considerable confidence in pre
sent prices, and the disposition of the market appears to be upwards.
The imports yet are very slender ;
Canadian produce is stationary.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, FEII. 3.
At this day's market one house purchased A lot of 2,000 bales of Or-
leans, and fully 2,000 of other descriptions have met with purchasers at
our quotations. The business closed very firmly :-50 Maranham, 91d. ;
70 Egyptians, ; 2,000 Orleans, 7id. to B}d.; 1,880 American,
Gad. to B}d.—Total 4,000.
LIVERPOOL DRY SALTERY MARKET.

It is in this market as in our own generally that prices where they
alter advance. Indigo continues unaltered. The return of the frost
with so much severity necessarily interferes seriously with business.

COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.

DERBY CORN MARKET, FEE. 9..
Our Cern Market to-day was well supplied, but sales were very heavy,
and only the fine Wheat and Barley sought after at last week's prices
Best 'Wheats. 575. to 625. ; Fine Barley, 30s. to 345. ; Grinding ditto,
255. to 28 s . ; Oats, 20s. to 265. ; Beans, 325. to 445.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, Feb. 3.
We had a fair supply of Wheat at Market to-day from the interior,
but very limited coasting arrivals, and the sale was brisk at the prices of
this day se'nnight. There was very little Norfolk or Suffolk Barley of-
fering for sale, and prices may be considered nominally the same. The
supply of Oats from the growers was large,
cleared off at last week's rates. Malt continues a dull sale, though
without any further alteration in value. For Rye, there is rather more
demand, at our quotations. Beans and Pease remain without change
Flour meets a fair sale at our quotations. and the whole quickly

It was resolved, at a highly respectable meeting
held at Falmouth, on Monday, to widen and make deeper the
harbour of that port, for which purpose a subscription was
entered into, and a memorial to the Government unanimously
adopted, seeking asssistance in this important undertaking
Upwards of 1,0001. was subscribed in the room,—Cornwall
Royal Gazette.

" That this enthusiastic loyalty found an echo in the breasts of the
inhabitants of this province is my most cheering persuasion, the more
especially as the particular object in which I have deemed it my duty to
call you together at this early period, is to invite your attention to
the lamentable state to which the treasonable and rebellious proceedings
of a certain portion of its deluded inhabitants have reduced the neigh-
bouring province of Lower Canada The disaffected having availed
themselves of the season of the year, when succours from the mother
country are believed to b• excluded by the rigour of the cli-
mate, it appears to be in a more especial manner incumbent
upon her Majesty's loyal subjects in the surrounding colonies to stand
forward, not with the mere expression of their sympathies, but if re.
quired, in active support of the Royal authority, and in aid of. their
loyal fellow subjects in Lower Canada, now contending against the
desperate efforts of a revolutionary faction, for the preservation to
themselves and their descendants, of the inestimable blessings of l3ri.
tish connexion.

" The mode and extent of this aid your own loyalty and wisdom will
best divine; for myself I will only add that my individual services in
the furtherance of such an object shall be afforded with all the energy
of which I am capable, and in any manner in which it may be consi.
dered that they can best promote it.
" I cannot upon this occasion refrain from expressing my high admira-
tion of the unchanged gallantry of the militia of our sister colony of
Upper Canada, evinced in the prompt suppression by them, unaided by
any portion of her Majesty's troops, of the revolutionary outbreak, which
was attempted by some misguided persons in that province.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
" The Treasurer's accounts and all other documents which may be
necessary for your information'in regard to the finances of the Province
shall be laid before you with all suitable expedition; and I rely with
entire confidence upon your accustomed zeal and liberality, to provide
for the ordinary services and for all the other objects of public utility
which may be deemed to require the boubty of the Legislature.
" Mr. President and Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative
Council,

" Several important despatches connected with the recent arrange.
ments of the provincial revenues will be made the subject of sepa-
rate messages. In the meantime, it is my pleasing duty to de-
clare to you, that the same sentiments of live.ly solicitude to
promote the interest and happiness of the people of this province
which pervaded every act by which his late Majesty was known and
endeared to them, will be found to influence our preicut most gracious
Sovereign."
