Coffee have again been very limited, and prices remain ogrninilly
the same.

This afternoon there was more inquiry from the home trade,
but it did not lead to much business by private contract, and prices

cks Java; the former was imported direct, and realized steady

TEA.—Far Free Trade Tea there was a much better demand last
week, and a large business was transacted in cash parcels at an
advance of 2d to 3d per lb. In common Congou large sales were
made at 2s 3d to 4s 3jd, and Twankay at 2s 3d to 2s 4d ; the trade
as well as capitalists were free buyers ; ooe large parcel of 1,200
chests ord Hyson was disposed of at 2s Gd for money. For prompts
a fair business was transacted at improved rates ; sale, of old
Cangou were made at 2s 4d, and in Twankay at 2 41d to 2s 5d per
lb. For Company's Congou an active demand prevailed, and prices
advanced to 2s 4d to 2s 4p for cash parcels, and t2s 5d to 2s Gd for

prompts, being an advance of 4d on former rates, and the market
closed with more buyers than sellers at these rates.
The accounts received from China state that the Chinese Go-
vernment had issued an edict, prohibiting the importation into
their ports of British goods of any kind, whether in native
er in foreign ships, requiring a bond fro.ii the master of any
vessel entering tine port to trade, that it does not contain
goods transshipped from any British vessel, and consenting to
the confiscation of the ship and cargo should anything British
be discovered on board. Lin, the Commissioner, is in high
favour with the Emperor, who fully approves of the course
he has pursued towards the English, and there is not the least loon.
dation for the report that he had been lowered in rank; on the part
of Captain Elliot there had appeared some desire to place :.fLurs on
an amicable footing; but Lin was quite averse to this, and stated
that the edict stopping the trade for ever with the English should
continue in force. In India warlike preparations against China

continue on a large sc:ll,. The date► are to the 29th February
from Bombay, 10th February from Calcutta, and 7th January from
Canton. The effect of the above was to cause the holders of Tea
here to require advanced rates, and the trade were alsomore desirous
to do business. In Company's Ccingou large purchases were made
for cash at O.s 5d to Os 5d ; some contracts were made for prompts
at Os 6d per Ib, and at these rates several parties refused to sell in
consequence of the increased difficulties thrown in the way of trade
between this country and China. In Free Trade Tea a large
business was done in cash parcels at prices lid to Id above those of
Saturday, 2s 3-1 d to Os 4id being paid for parcels of common Con.
gou, and Twankay at Os sid per lb. 'lhe future state
of prices of Tea, particularly if there should be a long stop-
page of trade, will mainly depend on the quantity of Tea that is
already shipped and in progress of shipment the letters are si-
lent at present o❑ this subject. It is reported that the Thomas Coutts
has begun to take in her homeward cargo. The Royal Saxon, it is
said, has succeeded in getting up to NVhampoa, The Frederick
Huth has arrived from Hong Kong with 50 chcbts, 469 half chests,
31)0 boxes, 1,44 e: ten-catty boxes Caper, 38 boxes Seuchong, 138

7,000 packages, equal to 450,000 lbs. It is :aid Government are in
possession of important news from China of an unfavourable nature.
The duty was paid last week on 340,000 lbs of Tea.
To.day there was a brisk demand for Free Trade Tea for cash—
speculators as well as the trade were eager buyers, and prices are
on the advance ; sales on ordinary cyan Congoa were made at Os
4d, and Twankay of common quality at Os 4 !4cl, end at these rates
