the market sparingly have prevented any decline in prices,

market has been in a dull state. •

TEA.—A series of pu!)lic sales was brought forward
to day, consisting of 9,039 pkgs, which being the first
since the arrival of the important news from China,
attracted an unusually large assemblage of the trade
and others interested in the article, and much anxiety
was evinced as to the result. At the opening a much
better feeling was manifested on the part of the trade to
purchase Than had previously been anticipated, which
increased as the salve eroceeded, an as the importers
mostly gave pod sun port higher prices were obtained
for the lower qualiCe lack Tea. the proportion of
which in the sales was ; the finer sorts of Black,
together with most kinds of Green Tea were however a
shade cheaper. Of the above quantity 4,500 packages

much caution, and the sales have not exceeded 200 puns ;
proof Leewards at Is Iod, Calcutta is sd, and good
Jamaica 30 per cent. over proof Gs 2d per gallon, but
the general impression is that present rates will not be
of long duration. The market for Brandy is firm, and

for sale. British Corn Spirits have been in good request

TALLOW. —There has been sin inertased disinclination
evinced on the part of the trade to Operate in Russian
Tahoe?, and there having been large :arrivals, together
with some failures in the trade, holders have being more
desirous to realise, and submitted to a reduction on
former rates ot' Od to is per cwt ; still both Soap-
makers and Chandlers have operated with much
caution on the spot, and have taken barely enough to
meet their immediate wants, anticipating a further
fall in prices, 47s to 47s 3d have been currently ac-
cepted for P.Y. Candle. For delivery there has been
little done ; 47s is the quotation up to the end of the

The country is full of t mall-pox, the fruits of
unprincipled venders of infection, who thereby profit by
a horrid trade, 'We hope the police and the Poor-law
officers will keep a strict look-out for those fellows, whose
punishment, according to the 3d and 4th Victoria, is
three months' imprisonment,—Ennishillen Reporter.
