A good supply, of some of the small descriptions, but a short

Is. 6d. per lb. Mackarel, 3d. to 6d. each ; Whitings, 2d. to
4d. each; Haddocks, 3d. to 6d. each.

fore. Meadow Hay, 100 s. to 118 s. ; Clover Hay, 110 s. to
1265. ; Straw, 381. to 42;. per load.
WOOL MARKET.
The public sales of about 10,000 bales, chiefly Colonial,
have commenced. There is a good attendance of buyers in
town, and a considerable portion of wkat has already been put
up has sold at full prices.
TEA SALE.—SECOND DAY.
The Tea sales which we reported yesterday continue to pass
off heavily. That which passes the hammer is principally
bought in. We should judge that by the close of the sale to-
day, 30,000 packages may have passed, a very small portion
of which sells. Congou is the principal, and it goes at prices
2d. per lb lower than those of last sale. This is yesterday's
price.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
This is the first day of public business since the Coronation.
We had public sales of 7,529 bags Mauritius Sugar; 1,527
bags Bengal ; 213 hhds. Barbadoes ; 513 boxes White Ha-
vannah, and 115 hhds. 125 brls. Trinidad. There was net
any great animation in the Sugar trade, but prices remain
much as before, but where altered they are lower. Coffee,
24 bales 73 bags Mocha ; 133 barrels Trinidad, and 189 bags
Brazil. B. P. and Mocha went at former prices, but Brazil was
very dull owing to the very large stock on board, and prices
are lower. All of it did not sell. Cocoa 146 bags---75
barrels of British Plantation sold at steady prices, and so did
15 barrels Jamaica, and 63 bags Barbadoes Ginger. Taking
the market as a whole, it is dull. For to-morrow we have
public sales of 3,896 bags Manilla Sugar ; 4,800 bags Ben-
gal ; 300 boxes yellow Havannah ;50 tierces Jamaica Coffee;
70 barrels Jamaica Ginger ; 6,000 bags Bengal Rice ; 67
bags white Pepper, and: 36 casks and 19 barrels Jamaica
Ginger. The imports to-day were light, up to the time of
our going to press.

last market-day, 43.

In consequence of the unprecedented number of
175,000 Newspapers, which were put into the Post-office yes-
terday, the dispatch of the mail coaches in the evening was
unavoidably delayed for a consi rabic period beyond the usual
time.
William Cotton, sq., is the Gentleman recom-
mended by the C • of Directors of the Bank of England, to
fill up the vacan in the Direction, occasior.ed by the decease
of William Mellish, Esq.
We have nothing of importance to notice from
abroad ; and at home the sole engrossing subject is the Coronation of
our young and gracious Queen, which seems to have absorbed and
swallowed up every thing of leases interest. Of the proceedings at this
august ceremony we cannot, of course, give any detailed account until
Monday; but we advert with much pleasure to the festivities which
took place in our own metropolis and its vicinity, which, in our sub
sequent columns, are noticed in detail. The most exhilirating and
most gratifying of these was the ceremony of opening the new Pier at
Granton, which is calculated to supply what has been long a desideratum
with the shipping interests of the east coast of Scotland. It was only a
little more than four years ago (namely, in February, 1834) that R. W.
Hamilton, Esq the active and Intelligent manager of the General Steam
Navigation Company, represented to the Duke of Buccleuch,• the pro-
prietor of Granton, that that was the point best calculated on the north
side of the Forth for a low water pier. His Grace immediately gave orders
for a survey and report on the subject by R. Stevenson, Esq., Civil En-
gineer, and these being satisfactory, and the shipowners, merchants, &e.,
having in a public meeting, passed resolutions in favour of the scheme,
the work was immediately contracted for, and on Thursday the first
spacious jetty was opened to the trade in general. This is an
event, which, in the absence of the long expected Improvement
of Leith Harbour, must be felt as a great convenience to the mer.
cantile community in this quarter. In regard to the celebrations of the
day generally, we will venture to affirm, that notwithstanding the par-
ticular situation of affairs in the city, these festivities were conducted
in a style and gave a degree of satisfaction that could not have been
exceeded, and which have been as gratifying as was theconduct of the
immense multitudes that were congregated from town and country in
greater numbers than have been assembled here since the visit of George
the Fourth. We observe that the day was celebrated wi•ti equal de
monstrations of loyalty in Glasgow, Perth, Dundee, Stirling, Montrose,
&c , and from the notes of preparation which have been for some time
sounded by the Provincial Press, AS'C have no doubt also in every corner
of the United Kinerein.— Caledonian Mercury.
FUR AMERICAN IN PARIS.—The Americans
have a strong and decidedly original turn fo tirical humour ; and in
the applicaticn of it they spa their~o Odes, much less those
of other nations. We nd at uality has never been displayed
with a more piquant a lied than in a work which is
on tho point of making its appearaoce, entitled " The Atneriean in
Paris." The ostensible object of the work is that of supplying a view
cf the moral, social, and intellectual condition of the capital of France
under her now institutions ; but thi.: is said to be doncjn a spirit which
spares neither rank nor 'sex, rind which offers to the world the most
severely- true picture of Paris society that has yet been drawn.
CORONATION.—One of the hest notices under this
bead we have seen is the following —" J. Rose, 35, College-street, begs
leave to acquaint the loyal subjects of Southampton, that he wishes to
celebrate the Coronation of her Most Gracious Majesty in a becoming-
way ; he, therefore, would feel malt obliged to any of his friends if they
will be kind enough to provide him with a dinner on that day for his
family, eleven in number!"

CORONATION BLUNDER.—The following laugh-
able occurrence happened at a small town in Worcestershire. A printer
having been applied to, to print a notice for closing the shops, &c., for
the day of the Coronation, by some mistake, purposely or accidentally
made, the letter C w.,s put in place of S, which inee it read as fol
lows;-" Notice is hereby giien, that all the tradespeople have agreed
not to open their chops, or serve customers, on the Coronation Day."
This, of course, was an unlucky announcement for many, when the roast
beef and plum pudding came in vi ew.— Warwick Advertiser.
Since the commencement of 1838, upwards of 800
vessels have cleared out of Sunderland for foreign ports.

A FonTuNE.—An arrival from Sydney, at this
port during the week, has brought us papers to the beginning of March.
They contain an account of the death and formal of Mr. Samuel
Terry, who was sent as a convict trim Manchester about fifty years ego.
It appears that the amount of property amassed by him during his
' sojourn in New youth Wales is estimated at half a million sterling!
Mr. W. G. Burns, of the Dundee Political Union,
has been deputed to visit Aherdoen, with a view to stir up the working_
classes to j -lin in the national petition now in course of signature, Led
founded on the principles of Universal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, &c.
In the neighbourhood of Kendal great fears are en•
tertainad of the crop of winter potatoes proving a failure, many of the
landholders ploughing them up, from their extreme thinness. Mr.
Collins, of Burneside Hall, has ploughed up four acres of this descrip_
tionoind sown it with barley.—Kendal Mercury.
A remarkable celestial phenomenon was observed at
Toulouse, about half-past 9in the evening of the 25th ult. The heat lad
been oppressive throughout the day, and the atmosphere had become
opaque, but without any appearance of a storm. In the midst, however,
of the obscurity, a streak of fire of a pale ashy colour rose from the hori.
zon, and was lost in the zenith. This continued at regular intervals for
about a minute and a half, alternately weak and strong, moving in a
southerly direction, arid parallel to the magnetic meridian.—French
paper.

RAILWAYS.--In 1801 the first Act of Parliament
passed for the construction of a public railway. Since that time nearly
200 have followed it; and among these enterprises arc three, of wlkich
alone the estimated cost—and they are exrected to be finished during
the present season—amounts to about nine millions sterling !—Qsar.
