The Cotton market at Havre during the past rt.
meek has been dull compared with the previous it.
I:ek,and the arrivals from America were smaller. 12
,ticen, however, are well maintained, with a good too
rnand for best qualities. Louisiana is 87f. 50c. ro
Per 50 kilos., and inferior sorts from 84f. 50c. The to
arrivals during the week amount to 8,958 hales,
444. the sales to 8,877. On the 14th instant the '3ll'

the corresponding period in 1855. The other St
branches of trade at this port show no feature of et.
itePortance. The sugar and coffee prices are well 8
maintained , with an increased demand for best
qualities. American flour is firm at 48f. 50c. per 25
barrel, and ditto wheat at 84f.7per 200 kilos,
Accounts from Bergen state that the prices of
eAliza oil have risen considerably since the com-
ment of the year on account of the large demand
for England and other foreign countries. During
1855 the prices of white colza oil averaged about
1518 P. per ton, and brown do. 141sp. For choice
qualities 19sp. was considered a high price, and
llor they are quoted at 245 p., and for inferior
11°r18 19 to 21?;sp. is obtained. The sales also
'4O increased. During the last two months the
quantity exported was 45,898 toes against 31,160
;s in the corresponding period of 1855. In

amounted to 25,305 acres.
The market for English Securities presents a
heavy appearance, and a decline of I per cent. has
l'ecurred. Some parties are realising, after the
recent material advance in prices, under the
4eipression that the effect of a declaration of peace, 18
if resolved upon, has been anticipated. Consols 18
°Pened at 92k but have since receded to 92 17,

LOLA MONTIEL—This lady took her departure on the
21st of November, in the Havilah, for Adelaide, where
she has been engaged for a limited neriod. On her re-
turn, she proceeds to Ballarat, at which place a theatre
is being expressly fitted up for her. On her return from
Ballarat to this city, she will give a farewell performance
prior to her final departure from this colony for South
America.—Afelbourne Age.
Government, it is understood: proposes to take down
the present Burlington-house. The proposal, it is said,
lU
is to open a new street through the centre of the space
SO cleared, and erect on the sides of the new thorough- I
fare a range of public edifices, part of which may be as-
Bigmei to the learned societies. The opening, it is 2
thought, may
be made a beautiful ornament to Piccadilly 2
--the view being closed by the new palace of the Bank
Of England.
