PROVISION MARKET.

Butter must be quoted at the advanced price of 110 s, This is the top
price. No other price altered.

TALLOW MARKET.
P. Y. C. today is still quoted at 480., but business is altogether sus-
pended by the fire at the Royal Exchange—as indeed is busine,s in every
other commodity.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
The calamitous fire at the Royal Exchange has brought business to
a stand here, as well as every where else; parties are all dispersed, and
there is nothing doing worthy of notice either by public sale or private
contract. For to.day we had no public sales advertised, except for a
little Coffee and Ginger. The bulk of the sales to day are Drugs, but
these do not commence until evening. Under these circumstances no
correct quotations of colonial produce can be given. The tendency of
last prices was rather downwards for Bengal Sugar and Ceylon Coffee ;
but other descriptions of produce, such as Rice, Spices, Cotton, and
most kinds of Coffee, do not show that inclination. The imports arc
now very insignificant.

THE PLAGUE.

DRESDEN, DEC. 29.—1 t is reported that Lusit is receiving
the Gottingen professors and the numerous students at Leip-
sic. Negotiations are set on foot for engaging some of these
professors. Duhlmann and the elder Grimm, are spoken of
for the university of Leipsic.
ODRSSA, DEC. 17.—The consternation which has seized the
inhabitants is difficult to be described. We had hitherto hoped
that the efforts of the authorities would prevent the plague
from spreading beyond the quarter in which it began ; bqt all
exertions and prudence are useless and vain where the instru-
ments employed are incapable. This is unhappily the case
here; the soldiers employed in hindering the communication by-
gin to be attacked, which proves that, in spite of all instructi-)ns,
they have had intercourse with the inhabitants of the infected
quarters. One of them carried the disorder into the barracks
of the engineers, where it broke out yesterday, and two per-
sons are already dead. As those soldiers are in constant
communication with the inhabitants, especially the poorer
classes, the consequences are incalculable. There were again
two new cases in the house of Tuckeff, and also the inmates
(except M. Tuckeff himself), 17 in number, were conveyed
to the Lazaretto yesterday ; there were two cases in the tem-
porary military hospital of Moldawnuk, in which there had
been no trace of the disorder. New cases continue to occur in
the other houses of the suburbs. Hitherto above 100 persons
have died of the plague, and only three recovered.—Allge-
meine Zeitung, Jan. 6.
