MARKET NE WS.--( YES TERDAY

CORN EXCHANGE.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been
somewhat on the increase, and we had a fair average number
of samples of that article on sale. Still, however, the de-
mand was very steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained
on last market day, and at which a good clearance was
effected. The imports of foreign Wheat have been
Holders were very firm, and would not sell, except at is per
quarter more money. The amount of business doing was,
therefore, limited. No new Barley at market. Old qualities
were quite as dear. We had a good demand for Malt, which
went off as it came to hand, at rather improved currencies.
Oats, the supply of which was small, were in fair request at
full prices. Beans, peas, and Flour as last advised.

SMITHFIELD.

The supply of home-fed beasts on offer was very limited,
that of foreign stock large. Prime Scots, Devons, &c.,
com-
manded a very steady sale, at fully Monday's quotations,
otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at previous
currencie9. We had on sale 270 Oxen and Cows, 1,460
Sheep and Lamb, and 36 Calves from abroad. The numbers
of Sheep were small, while the Mutton trade was very firm,
and in some instances a trifle more money was obtained for
the best old Downs. Lambs moved off readily, at an advance
of 2d per Blbs. The Veal trade was rather active, and prices
were the turn higher. In Pigs a steady business was done,
at late rates. Mulch Cows were dull, at from 161 to 181 each,
including their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

Nearly 1,0(,0 pockets of New Hops have alteached us from
Sussex and Kent, in excellen" condition. The demand,
however, is by no means active; and the duty is called
190,000/. Old and Yearling Hops have declined quite 5s
per cwt. The following are the prices obtained for the New
samples:—Kent Pockets, 51 lOs to 6c 10s; Sussex Pockets,
Si 5s to 61.

(From the London New Price Current of September 4.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was more desire evinced to pur-
chase Colonial &war of all kind, and merchants manifested
more firmness. 'For %Vest India Muscavado Sugar of all
orts former rates were insisted upon, and a fair business
was transacted, the quantity sold amounting to 480 hhds and
trcs, including the public sale of 99 hhds of Barbadoes, which
went at former rates.
REFINED.—To day Refined goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade, although Brown Lumps were to
be obtained at 60s to 61s 6d, according to quality. and
Standard Lumps at 62s to 62s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar
is held for former rates, but there is not so much demand.
This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius offered at public
sale was large, and amounted to 6,025 bags, still there was
a brisker demand, and nearly the whole sold at and after the
sale at the former value.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was more in
demand, and 629 bags at public sale all sold at fully pre-
vious rates, and in some cases rather above. Fine white
Benares brought 53s to 55s 6d, damp and washed 523 to 555,
good strong sound yellow 495, and damp 48s. per cwt.

2,582 bags of Java were offered ; the white was nearly all
withdrawn, and other sorts sold about is per cwt under the
general valuations.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with little at-
tention privately ; 210 bags, at public sale, of Plantation,
were however sold at the full value.
TEA.—Notwithstanding the large consumption there is
going on, and the low rates that are current, still the trade
.generally are not inclined to take more than there immediate
wants require. Congou of low and middling quality is id
to Id, the better kinds Id to 3d, Twankay Id to 2d, llyson
2d to 4d, Imperial and Gunpowder 6d to 10d lower
than at that time in 1845. There has been a good businees

transacted in the inferior sorts of Congou, but not at better
prices, common only bringing 8d to 9d, good common 9d to
10d, but middling coarse 1014 to lid. The better kinds have
been sparingly dealt in. In Pouchong little business has
been transacted, although low and good quality can be
obtained at 3d to 9d. Of Hyson several parcels have been
sold, but at moderate rates. Of Imperial and Gunpowder
several parcels have been sold, but at further reduced rates.
For Twankay the market has a dull appearance.
SPicizs.—To-day the market was abundantly supplied with
Cassia Lignea, 3,212 chests being offered at public sale, but
the trade were eager buyers, and the whole sold at an ad-
vance on the rates of the las't auctions of is to 2s per cwt.
Jamaica Ginger sold at 21 Cs to 71 12s, and low 37s to 4ls per
cwt.; Nutmegs taken in at 3s 3d for boled limed Dutch,
and in the shell at Is 6d; of Malabar Pepper 2,040 bags all
sold at the full value.

SPlRlTS.—Although there are sellers of Jamaica Rum upon
rather lower terms, still little business has been transacted.
, The value of Leeward Island is is 5d to 2s 6d proof with cer-
tificate, but the demand has been limited. Calcutta is little
wanted, but is lld to 2s proof strength are the rates insisted
upon. Demerara has been sparingly dealt in ; still holders ask
3s 2d to 3s 5d fur strong sorts. Brandy has been in excellent
request, and the vintages of 1844 and 1845 have brought
higher rates, whilst all other kinds fully sustained the former
value. Geneva is wanted for export, common at 2s 3d to
2s 4d, and fine by the home trade at 2s 8d to 3s.
RICE.—To-day there was more desire evinced to operate
in Bengal Rice, and 1,314 bags at public sale all sold at full
rates. Of Tapioca 339 barrels and 5 bags were offered at
public sale, but a part only sold, Bahia at 13Ad to 23/4d,
and better quality 3d to 4d per lb.
COCIIINEAL.—There has been a much better demand for
silvers, and an advance on the value of Id per lb has taken
place; 550 bags of Honduras at auction all finding buyers at
4s 10d to 5s 10.1 per lb for low to fine quality. Privately
some parcels of blacks were disposed of and at stiffer rates.

of Ceylon Cocoa Nut sold at 33s 9d to 35s 9d, which is
higher.

rog sheeps' Tallow sold at 40s 6d to 42s 6d ; 52 casks Aus-
tralian 39s to 425; 22 hhds of Cape 43s to 445; 131 casks of
North American melted 39s to 42s 9d; 216 casks Ibrail 383
to 41s 9d.

TRAVELLING FROM FRANCE TO ENGLAND.—The
service by the Northern Railroad, which will be opened
from the Ist of September, renders the intercourse be-
tween France, England, Belgium, Germany, and Swit-
zerland, greatly more easy and rapid. By the train
which leaves Paris at half-past eight in the morning,
travellers will arrive the same evening at Boulogne and
Calais, and by that which leaves Paris at seven o'clock
in the evening, will reach Boulogne and Calais at twelve
the next day, and may be in London by the dinner hour.
The same train which leaves Paris at seven in the even-
ing, arrives at Mons the next morning at twenty minutes
past seven ; at Ghent, at eight ; at Brussels, nine ; at
Antwerp, eleven; at Ostend, at a quarter•past eleven;
at Liege, at one in the afternoon; and at Cologne, by
the Rhenish Railroad, at seven in the evening. Hence
the way into Switzerland is by the Rhine steameboats,
the German railroads, and that from Strasburg to
Basle.
