According to the latest accounts, it was likely that a
large quantity of Tea would find its way to this country
over Sincapore and other British possessions in India, to
which places shipments hive been made to the extent of
10,000 twenty-catty boxes, and a considerable deal more
was expected.

Tbis afternoon the market was quiet for Free Trade ;
for common Congou for cash 2s 410 is the nearest price,
and Twankay 2s sd. Company'4Congon sells slowly at
2s 51d money. On 'Change Company's Congou was
2a 5d to 2s 5-d for cash.
TALLOW.—For P. Y. Candle holders have accepted
48s 6d to 48s 9d for first quality, and even thereat the
trade buy with caution, anticipating a further fall in con-
sequence of the large stock, and the season for Tallow for
Candle making purposes being nearly at an end. For de-
livery in the last three months under 49s 3d there are no
sellers. Town Tallow for cash at 47s per cwt. This

92s ta 92s 61 for good ordinary coloury, being former
rates.

Otis.—For common descriptions of F;sh Oils prices
have a downward tendency. Pale Seal of first quality
261, and 231t0 241 lOs for middling to fine Southern, Cod
281 per tun. Sperm small parcels of first quality 1001 to
1021. Linseed at 23s 6d to 23, 9d. Rape pale is not to
be had under 363, and brown 35s per cwt. Palm 341 to
341 lOs per tun. East India Cocoa Nut taken in at 39s
per cwt.

This afternoon, 160 tuns Southern at auction partly
found buyers at 231 103 to 241 15s for middling to five
quality.

TEA.—On Tuesday accounts were received by express
from China, stating all was still hostile. The Emperor
of China had approved of all Lin's measures, and had dis-
tinguished the Admiral of the Junks who had engaged
with our vessels of war; our military preparation were still
proceeding; the English had been declared outlawed, by
an edict of the Chinese Government ; the trade conti-
nued totally stopped, and severe punishment threatened
to any other people who conveyed or disposed of British
Goods; two vessels sold by the English and under Danish
colours, had been seized by the Chinese on the charge of
their being in reality English; it was also stated that two
American vessels entered the port empty, and that the
Chinese authorities were about to take means to prevent
the vessels from taking more cargo than they had brought
money to pay for.
The effect of the above has been to cause a much better
demand for Tea, and has also given holders more conti•
dente as to the future prospect of the article. In Free
Trade large purchases have been made in cash at im-
proved rates. Common Congou and Twankay have been
the most in request, for the former 2s sici to 2s 6il has been
currently paid, for the latter 2s 61 to 2. 6i; these prices
are lid a2d above those of Friday last. For prompts not
much business has been done, still a better feeling evinced
to buy. Common Congou is not to be had under 2s 6d,
and Twankay 2s 6i per lb, and at these rates holders are
by no means desirous to realize. In Company's Congou a
good deal of business has been done for cash, and prices
have advanced to 2s 7d to 23 7-0, which is 3id to 4d higher
than on this day week. For public sale on Ist June, 7,726
chests are declared, chiefly Congou. This morning the regu-
lar overladd mail arrived,but having brought no private letters
from China, or later news than that which has appeared
in the Newspapers, caused the trade to purchase less
freely of all kinds of Tea to-day, and prices are not
so firm ; sellers of Company's Congou for cash at
2s 6d, but no buyers above 2s 53d. Free Trade
is also affected by the above cause, common Congous
aro 2s sd, and Twankay 2s sid cash per lb ;
one house is in possession of news dated Tonkoo Bay,
stating that the trade was stil stopped at China. The
non-arrival of the letters from China is attributed to the
" Scaleby Castle" having the Mail from thence, put into
Singapore, instead of Bombay; and instead of sending
the letters overland, carried them round by sea, and thus
occasioned her letters to be too late for the steamer from
Bombay.
