THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

We have received the Journal qf Antwerp of yesterday's
date :

FRANKFORT, MARCH X— The business doing in whole-
sale at our fair has net been very animated during the
first week in Easter. Articles of luxury are doing well.
Silks are mostly sought after. Cottons are offered at a
moderate price, which are in great quantities in the market.
In English goods very little is doing.
BottasE OF AMSTERDAM, APRIL 9.—The National
Funds have a littl i mprDvel on the fall of yesterday, at d bu-
siness was rather animated ; the prices left off firm.
Ardoin's was also firm, and remained at 20 5-16

We have again to write that there is no intelligence of
the President. The Cork letters received this morning
( Sunday) make no mention of her approaching that har-
bour ; all that we can say is, that we are perfectly ignorant
of her fate. Captain Pile, of the Ocean steamer, arrived
this morning, rays it cannot by possibility be the Presi-
dent, or he must have seen her when he was leaving at the
time. In consequence of this intelligence very great
anxiety prevails in the City respecting the fate of the vessel.

Money and the Account, opened a shade lower at 891 90,

HALF-PAST ONE;
The general topic of conversation in the City entirely
relates to the President steamer. Continual inquiries
are being made respecting her safety, and numerous con-
jectures are formed on the subject, but up to the present
hour nothing has transpired respecting her.
The British Funds have continued in an inactive state
during the whole of the morning. It is ascertained that
up to Saturday last Mr. Wakefield's deficiency amounted
to upwards of 100,0001.
This Jay being the latter end of the Hebrew holidays,
few of them made their appearance at the Stock Ex.
change. Although it is a double post day, we have no
arrivals of consequence, which prevents speculation in the
various funds.

STOCKHOLM, APRIL 2.—The Chamber of
the Citizens has agreed (after a long debit,), by a ma-
jority of 34 to 17, to grant the King 900,000 rix dollars
for repairing or rebuilding prisons. The Chamber of Pea.
pants has likewise agreed to it.

CORN EXCHANGE.
Last week's arrivals of both Grain and Flour were tolerably
good, but there was a small fresh supply of every article. The
best Wheat obtained rather higher prices, and other qualities
sold at former terms. Barley and Beans met a very slack
trade, and hardly maintained previous quotations. Very little
inquiry for Peas. Oats were held more firmly, but the trade
was dull. Flour met a moderate demand at previous rates.
Tares cheaper.

The supply was moderate, the demand good, and the best
Scots and Sheep fully realized last Friday's quotations. The
middling and other sorts met with a good market. Of Lamb
the supply was plentiful, and a reduction of full 4d. per stone
was the consequence. Beasts, 2,389; Sheep, 18,630; Pigs,

TEA MARKET.
The market was in a very dull state, and prices could not be
quoted, for the want of transactions. Company's Congou
offered at ls. 4d. cash.

PROVISION MARKET.
Irish Butter of fine quality in fair request, and prices firm,
but low sorts were totally neglected. Bacon firm, and the de-
mand good. Lard quiet, but prices firm.
TALLOW MARKET.
Prices of Russian were firm, and a good demand existed for
parcels of P. Y. Candle, on the spot, at 475. 6d. per cwt.
Fer delivery, several purchases were made at 48s. 3d. per cwt.
POTATOE MARKET.
We had a large supply of all descriptions of Potatoes, and
in consequence the demand has become very dull, and prices
were in some cases lower—York Red 80s. to 925., Scotch Red,
665. to 725. , Jersey and Guernsey, 68s. to 725., Kent and
Essex, 635. to 675. per ton.

- HOP MARKET.
Prices firm for all kinds of Hops, and there was a fair busi-
ness transacted in old kinds. The duty is not yet estimated.
