There was a pleasant trade done in Beef and Mutton, the
supply equal to the demand, but for finer sorts of Mutton a
decline of 2d. per stone was submitted to. Beef brought
higher prices. For Veal there was an unusual demand, and
the number of calves being short an advance of 4d. on last
week's prices was freely given. Pork dull of sale, and prices
have fallen considerably. Numbers at market ;-Beasts,
2,791; Sheep, 22,716; Calves, 70; Pigs. 436.

TEA SALE THIS DAY.
The public monthly sale of Tea has commenced. It consists
of nearly 7,000,0001b5. There are more than 4,500,0001b5. of
Congou ; 380,0001b5. Hyson; and 930,0001b5. Twankay.
There was a ♦ery numerous attendance of the trade, but not
many buyers amongst them. The non-arrival of news from
Canton leaves the trade in considerable perplexity. No great
quantity was sold, and the kinds going were principally Con-
gous and Twankays. Prices were fully up to the previous
market prices ; but about 3d. per lb. lower than those of the
last public sale in December.

COLONIAL MARKET.
There was nothing done in Colonial produce by Public Sale,
aud by private contract nothing important to the Market.

THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE.

The following is the replLord Normanby to the
memorial of the Coventry Ribbon Manufacturers to the
Queen :—.

" Whitehall, Dec. 27, 1839.
" Six—l have the honour to inform you that, in com-
pliance with your request, I have laid before her Ma-
jesty the memorial of the ribbon manufacturers of Co-
ventry, which was enclosed in your letter of the 21st
instant, and that her Majesty was pleased to receive their
memorial very graciously.
" Her Majesty has commanded me to assure you of
leer earnest desire to promote the interests and welfare
of her subjects, by encouraging the use of articles of
British manufacture.

" I am further •ommanded by her Majesty to request
that specimens of the article► which tie memorialists arc
anxious that her Majesty should patronise may be trans-
mitted to her Majesty ; and I request you to give direc-
tions to that effect.

" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your obedient servant,
" NORNIANBY.

" To the Mayor of Coventry."
It was then resolved unanimously—" That this meet-
ing, feeling the most lively sentiment of loyalty and
devotion towards their Sovereign, and cheered by the
gracious reply of her Majesty to their humble memorial,
as communicated by the Secretary of State, present
their most grateful thanks to her Majesty for the gra-
cious manner in which she has been pleased to receive
the said memorial, and the heartfelt satisfaction with
which they learn that the prayer thereof has been corn-
plied with. The memoriaiists hail with the strongest feel-
ings of satisfaction the renewed assurance of her Majesty's
earnest desire to promote the interests and welfare of
her subjects by encouraging the use of articles of British
manufacture."
