NE/AMAMI% AND LEADENNALL.
The arrivals of country•killed meat for these markets
last week c,,nsisted of 409 carcases of Beef ; 2.200 ditto
of Mutton; 600 ditto of Lamb ; 290 ditto of Veal ; and
200 ditto of Pork. With meat slaughtered in the metro-
polis we have been very extensively supplied, owing to
which, and the change in the weather, the general trade
has ruled excessively dull, at a decline in the quotations
of each kind of meat of from 2d to 4d per 81bs, at which
clearances have not been effected. We never recollect
such an extremely depressed trade as that experienced
since our last report. Prices, as will be seen from the
annexed table, are lower than for a series of eight years
past. .

BOROUGH AND SPITIMPIELDS.

Coastwise, and by railway conveyance, about 3,400
tons of Potatoes came to hand last week, in middling
condition. The foreign imports comprised 2,078 bags,
220 tons from Rotterdam, 304 tons 436 bags from Ant-
werp, 74 tons from Louvaine, 455 bags from Hamburgh,
950 bags from Ghent, 15 bags from Dunkirk, and S bags
from lijerting—forming a total quantity of about 1,000
tons. The weather having become milder, the demand
is not so active as on Monday last. Still, however, the
quotations are fairly supported.

WOOL._

Very extensive supplies of Wool arrived in the Port
of London last week, viz., 178 bales from the Cape, 1,056
ditto from Hobart Town, 926 ditto from Adelaide, 62
ditto from Melbourne, 1,990 ditto from Geeling, New
South 'Wales, 300 ditto from Port Beaufort, 3 ditto from
Bremen, and 1,146 ditto from Launceston. Further
heavy arrivals are expected to take place from our
colonies during the ensuing month. The quantity offer-
hag by private contract is by no means extensive ; yet,
as the accounts from the manufacturing districts are still
unfavourable, the demand for all descriptions is in a very
inactive state, and prices aro with difficulty supported.

BOROUGH HOP MARZET.
Very full prices continue to be realised for the best
Hops of last year's growth, the supply of which is very
limited; but all other kinds are very dull in sale, at
barely last week's quotations. Old Hops are nominal.
—Sussex pockets, 214 s to 2118 s; Weald of Kent, ditto,
21 12s to 3/ 8s; Mid and East Kent, ditto, 3/ 5s to 61 18s
per cwt.

TALLOW.
The prices for Y.C. Tallow are well supported, both on the
spot and for forward delivery. The former at the quotation
below, the latter at 39s 6d to 40s 6d per cwt, according to
circumstances. Town Tallow is plentiful at 38s per cwt net
cash; Rough Fat 2s 2d per 81bs.

AMERICAN NEWS.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.
We have received our dispatches by the steamship
Niagara, with the mails of the 18th instant. The
Europa arrived out at Boston on the 17th instant in nine
days and a half.
The West Indian mail steamer Trent arrived at New
York from Bermuda on the 15th, and sailed, on her
return, on the 16th.

There is no political news of any note. From Ca-
nada we learn that affairs were quiet. The Governor-
General had not sanctioned the Indemnity Bill. A dis-
loyal convention of men from the various dependencies
was talked of.

The state of Pennsylvania has passed a law, declaring
that the interest on her state debt shall be paid hereafter
in cash instead of in relief notes.
New sources of revenue, to the estimated amount
of 250,000 dolls. per annum, have been created.
The New York letters quote exchange on London at
106 to 1061. _

For a few days after the departure of the Canada
more animation existed, as money was easier,
but quotations subsequently ruled low, and the
pressure in the money market became more severe.
The rate of discount for leading names was 11 to 12
per cent. On call the rate was 7 per cent. It was stated
that arrangements had been made for the payment of
another million dollars indemnity. For exchange the
demand was active and the supply reduced, and the
market closed with an upward tendency.
From Valparaiso advices of the 2d of March are re-
ceived. Half a million dollars are said to be received.

In Canada there are measures openly taking to form
a British league in order to bring about a convention or
congress of delegates from all the North American
Colonies, the first step, it cannot but be remembered,
of the colonies now constituting the United States.
Lord Elgin still withholds all action upon the Bill
granting indemnity for losses in the troubles of 1837.3,
awaiting, as presumed, instructions from the Home
Government. Meantime systematic measures seem to
be in progress among the discontented population to in-
sure powerful, efficient, and united counsel whenever the
moment for decision shall arrive.
