THE MARKETS.---(THis DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of both Grain and Flour are still small. There
has been little business done here in any article of the trade
since Monday, and prices remain as then reported. The Flour
trade remains dull at last qu)tations. Some persons were dis-
posed to purchase Wheat in bond, in expectation of lower duties.

S H FIELD.
Trade very heavy, and a decline of 2d. per stone was sub-
mitted to for the finest Beef and Mutton, Veal stationary, but
a slight advance obtained for fine Pork ; the supply was very
short. Beef, 3s. 4d. to 4s. Bd. ; Mutton, 4s. to ss. ; Veal, ss.
to 6s. ; Pork, 4s. 4d. to ss. 2d. Cattle at Market-Beasts,
580-Sheep, 2,730-Pigs, 393-Calves, 125.
BILLINGSGATE MARKET.
Supplies good, except Lobsters, which were very dear, 2s. to
6s. each ; Turbot, 6s. to 21s. ; C,,cl, 2s. 6d. to 125. ;
Oysters, 245. to 60s. per bushel ; Salmon, 3s. per lb. ;
Soles, 6d. to 4s. per pair; Mackerel, 6d. to is. each ; Had-
docks, Bd. to is. ; Whitings, 4d. to 10d. ; and Smelts, 30s.
per 100.
TALLOW MARKET.
_

P. Y. C. very quiet, and the nearest price was 51s. per cwt.
COLONIAL MARKET.
_

Little business doing ; nothing to affect the Market. B.P.
Sugar flat, little offering; 575. for low brown. 61s. for mid.,
and 68s. for fine. Refined Standard Lumps 793. 6d. to 80s.
Two very small parcels of Mauritius and Bengal Sugar, and
both damaged, and 15 tierces unclean Demerara Coffee were put
up to public sale. Their quotations were no criterion for the
Market. A small parcel of Saltpetre fetched 21s. to 255.
TEA MARKET.

The market very flat, and those who sold accepted rather
easier prices. The whole trade have now their eyes turned to
the Thomas Cout's. It is said that the great payments due
for Tea have all been satisfactorily adjusted.
COTTON SALE.

In Mincing-lane we had public sales of 2,600 bales of
Madras Cotton, 1,070 bales Bengal, and 367 of Surat. There
was but a moderate attendance, and but part sold, and that at
prices as near as could be estimated about on an average id.
per lb. lower.

HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—The sales of
this day amount to '2,500 hales, consisting chiefly of American,
without any change in prices.
The arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails.
There are no ship letters.

We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's
date, March 5.

EXCHANGE OF AMSTERDAM, 31Ancit 3.—Owing to a
considerable sale in the Integrales, we have to notice again a
fall in them ; the other funds are also heavy. The Actions of
the Society of Commerce were in request at the opening of
the market, for which were given 178, but in the middle part
of the day they again fell to 1771. In Ardoin's Spanish a
great deal of activity prevailed, and they were sought after
before Change hour at 26 1-16 A, and they maintained the
latter price to near the close of the market, when some realiz-
ing took place, and they fell to 26 1-16.
The Report of the War Budget of Belgium has been sub-
mitted to the Chambeis, which is the most important one since
the Revolution, owing to its great amount. The Minister de-
mands 32,790,000 francs, and most of the sections are against
this enormous amount, and they demand a reduction. The
central section had several interviews with the Minister, who
persists in his first demand.

We stated yesterday that it was expected a notice would be
sent from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in respect to Ex-
chequer Bills. Early this morning a notice was sent down
from the Treasury to the Stock Exchange, but instead of fund-
ing he has made a new issue of Exchequer Bills ; from the 16th
of March they are to bear interest at 2icl. per day, which is a
halfpenny higher than the old Bills, and produces 3/. Bs. sd.
per annum.

As yet we cannot exactly state the premium which the Bills
will bear ; report says from 10s. to 20s. premium.

The following is an extract of the chief part of the pre-
amble sent down to the Stock Exchange by the Exchequer
Bill office this morning.
" Exchequer Bill Office, Whitehall-yard, March 6.
" The Lord Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have
determined that the Exchequer Bills, dated the month of June,
1839, February and March, 1840, charged; in aids, and supplies
now outstanding, or about to be issued, and also the Exche-
quer Bills carrying out public works and fisheries, shall on and
atter the 16th March, 1840, bear interest of 2i per diem."
On the above being published at the Stock Exchange in the early
part of the morning, it was considered unfavourable to the
funded interest; but the financiers looked upon it in a different
light, as it established an undeniable confidence.
The raising of the Exchequer Bills to 24d. per day is calcu-
lated at the rate of interest jeer annum 31. Bs. sid., and the
difference between Three per Cent. Consols at the present
price is Is. 9d. interest less than the former.
_ _

In the Consol Market scarce any bw iness of consequence
has been done during the morning ; but in the Foreign Market
there was a strong disposition to sell Spanish in the early part
of the morning, expecting they would have come lower from
Paris. A good deal of dallying still continues in the Spanish
Market. We still remain in the dark respecting the future
operations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to raise the
wind, either by funding Exchequer Bills, or by a loan.
Money in the early part of the day was rather wanted in the
house. Consols have improved since the morning, and may be
quoted 91* to for the Account ; Money 90a ; Exchequer
Bills (New) 12 to 16 ; Bank Stock shut ; Italia Stock shut ;
in India Bonds nothing done. _ _ _

In the Foreign Market Spanish Active reached 29i ; at pre-
sent 29i; Portuguese 34% ; Three per Cents. 23i ; Brazilian
78. In Spanish Deferred and Passive nothing done.

THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE'S CARRIAGE.-
On Thursday forenoon, at ten o'clock, an nquisition was taken
before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the University College Hospital,
on view of thr body of Joseph Fennel, a labourer, late in em-
ployment at the head station of the London and Birmingham
Railway, Euston-square. It appeared from th.: evidence that,
on the Ist of February, the deceased was assisting souse other
men in turning the carriage of the Duke of Cambridge upon
the wheel, for the purpose of putting it upon the railway, when
his foot slipped and the carriage rested upon it. He was
quickly released, when he was brought to the hospital. On
the 14th, inflammation of the joints of the injured leg came on,
which formed into abscesses, and which was accompanied by
eresspelas. He died of exhaustion from the effect of the
abscesses, on Tuesday last. The decea•ed atta•:hed blame to
no one in having caused the accident. Verdict—" Accidental
Death."

The late Duke of Bedford's wines, which were
brought to the hammer a few days since, fetched tolerab'y high
prices. A quantity of Hock, which had turned sour, how-
ever, sold for the low rice of 10s. a dozen. It was stated that
some of his Grace's old ruin had been in the cellars, at Woburn,
nearly a century.

ACCOMMODATION PILLS.-011 T.:ukkdav, 1;1
the case of an insolvent who applied for his discharge, the Court
deplored that the system hail increased of late. In the former
Act a clause prevented a person who dabbled in " accommoda-
tion bills " from being discharged twice within five years with-
out the consent of his creditors That clause had, however,
been omitted in the new Act, and the evil had increased to a
very considerable extent.

ANCIENT CONCERTS.—Her Majesty has been
phased to signify her intention of honouring the first per-
formance of ancient music, on Wednesday, the I Ith inst., with
her presence. The Duke of Cambridge, director. The singers
engaged are Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Birch, Mrs. Fiddes
(late Miss H Cawse), Messrs. Hawkins, Hobbs, W. Harrison,
Machin, and Phillips. Sir George Smart, conductor.
Viscount Paltneiston will give a grand ball, on
Friday, the 13th instant, at the family residence on Carlton
House-terrace.

a grand dinner, to-morrow, at their mansion ia George-street. iT
