SMITHFIELD.

The supply of Cattle was middling, the demand not very
brisk, and a decline of from 2s. 4d. per stone on the best qua-
lities was submitted to, while the middling and inferior sorts
went off but slowly. The supply of Sheep was pretty fair,
but the demand not good. The middling and interior sorts
were heavy on hand. Of Calves the supply was moderate, and
the demand brisk. Of Pork the supply was large, the demand
very good, and our last quotations were well supported.
Beasts, 2,521; Sheep, 21,180 ; Pigs, 673 ; Calves, 70. Beef,
3s. 64. to 4s. 10d. ; Mutton, 4s. to ss. 2d. ; Veal, 4s. 4d. to
64. ; Pork, 3s. 10d. to ss.
TEA MARKET.
_ . . .

There was but a limited business done in Free Trade, but
prices were maintained. Company's Congou moved off slowly
at is. 71d. cash.

TALLOW MARKET.

There was a good demand for Russian Tallow, on the spot,
and prices were firmer: P. Y. Candle brought .17s. per cwt.
For delivery more business was done at 48s. to 48s. 3d. per cwt,

PROVISION MARKET.

In the Butter market few sales were made, and prices were
nominal. The lower sorts of Irish Bacon were in active re-
quest, and prices on the advance, viz 555. to 575.
POTATOE MARKET.

The supplies were large, the demand dull, and somewhat
lower prises were submitted to. York Red, 83s. to 100 s ; Scotch
Red. 68s. to 70s. ; Jersey and Guernsey Blue, 665. to 70s. ;
and Wisbeach, 6Ss. to 70s. per ton.
HOP MARKET.

The prices of the better class were firmer, and a much bet-
ter demand was expected, with every probability of an im-
provement, as the stocks are now getting into a very small
compass, especially of the growth of 1440.

MONEY anal COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY; TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The North America packet ship has arrived at Liverpool
after a quick passage of 15 days. The intelligence by tl.e above
arrival continues to be of a pacific nature.
Exchange at New York ou the 19th ult., 7 to 7i; United
States Bank Shares, le.
The time for the April gooort of the Committee appointed
to investigate the affairs of the United States' Bank, is draw-
ing near, and thousands on both sides the Atlantic are looking
forward with intense anxiety to the results.
We have received Buenos Ayres papers to January 24.
The latest intelligence from the interior comes down to the sth
instant. It is stated in letters from Cordova that Laval e and
La Madrid were endeavouring to fall back upon the provinces
of the north, but that they were exposed to the greatest diffi-
culties in the attempt, besides being daily abandoned by their
followers. The confederate army was in their pursuit, and had
strong flying divisions considerably in advance, which hara.sed
them to such a degree as to lead to a belief that the remaining
force would be entirely dissolved.
These papers contain two despatches; the first, dated San
Cala, January 9, from General Anyea Pacheco, informing
the Government that notwithstanding the excessive nume-
rical inferiority of his force, he yesterday atta Aced the enemy
in their camp at San Cala, who, after a ttrtng resistance,
were put to flight. The second despatch is from Gen. Aldea,
raspecting a previous victory obtained.
The Exchange upon England during the week was lid.
We have received the Journal of Antwerp of Saturday's
date.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, APRIL 2.—The National Funds
were in demand at the closing prices of yesterday, nevertheless
little business was doing. Ardoin's Spanish rather improved
ad remained at 20 5-16.

The British Market, which left off on Saturday but)) ant,
and opened this morning at the leaving off prices 891 90 for
the Account, have since receded to 894 1; Money, 89g. This
flatness of the market is not attributed to the intelligence re-
ceived from the United States, but owing to parties realising
their profits which they obtained during the preceding week.

Accounts from WaJiington, of the 16th March, state an
opinion gathers strength that one of the chief objects of the
Session will be to provide for the public defence, and to that
end to make a public debt of some twenty millions.
The British Funds continue heavy, owing to two or three of
the influential brokers having sold, during the course of the
morning, a considerable amount of Stock, which has had an im-
pression on the market. To-morrow being the Hebrew holy-
days, it is supposed the above party are really wishing to leave

oSfUMGAaurßitAilusA, ET.—Nearly
Jamaica, have been brought to market during the week, and
taken At fair prices. The most extraordinary anomalies sub-
sist in the sugar trade at the present time, and make it diffi-
milt for the most experienced to knew what course to adopt.
The immense discrepancy between the value of Bengals And
other descriptions of sugar, is not the least singular feature'
'
and whilst, from the scarcity of refined goods, qualities suitable
for melting are on the advance, groceries, which usually fcti
this influence in due proportion, are declining. This can only
arise from an universal reluctance to purchase, under the con.
7ict ion that present extravagant prices cannot be maintained
The fact is, that the whole trade in the article of sugar i;
undergoing a great revolution.—Bristol Mercury.
