TEA MARKET.

Prices of this article were well maintained, at the Public
Sales of 3.600 packages ; indeed, in some cases a further ad-
vance was paid, and the bulk of that quantity was readily dis-
posed of. In the Private Market also a fine business was done ;
and Cumpan)'s Congou brought 2 3d. per lb. cash.
TALLOW MARKET.

The prices of Russian Tallow are still high, owing to the
few parcels in importers' hands, and the market very dull.
P. Y. C. on the spot, sls. 9d. to 525. per cwt.

HOP MARKET.

In this market there has not been quite so much business
done, owing to the high prices; but a lumber improvement ap •
pears certain, as the season's production will be much smaller
than for many years; the accounts from the hop-grounds are
still very bad.

BATHURST, APRIL I.—This part of the Colony is again

A Lisbon mall has arrived, brought by the Iberia
steamer, of the 10th August. The Finance Minister's
relation has been read, hut not printed as yet, by which it
aprears there is a diminution in the estim,tes of 1,400
contos and upwards, of which nearly 1,000 arises from
only half the Foreign dividends being included instead of
the whole as heretofore clone; a dividend is to be paid
January next, that which was due last January. Various
prodositions are, it is said, submitted with respect to the
Foreign debt ; the whole amounting, in fact, to a vote of
confidence in the Government to Le allowed to negotiate
nith its creditors, and make the best bargain it can. Oa
the different heads of the future dividends as well as
Inc arrears and coupons due, the idea is to negotiate for
a reduction of the interest, and to assign certain funds for
the satisfaction of the same, and the redemption of the

Ttn probability of a new treaty with E ;gland appears
very gr at.

seventy (,ffic rs were concerned, to upset the Government
having been discovered. This is auppsed to be much ux-
a,gerated, but some arrests have taken place. Ttre ca-
pital continues tranquil.
