JAMAICA MARKETS.
From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer, March 27.

GENERAL REMARKS.
A good deal of firmness has been evinced during the
past tortnight by holders of dry and pickled fish. We
regret, however, that we cannot report any great im-
provement in breadstuff& A slight speculative feeling
suddenly manifested itself during the early part of the
fortnight, under which upwards of 2,000 barrels Balti-
more flour were disposed of; but it has suddenly sub-
sided, and the market relapsed into its previous quiet
state. The sale, however, of so large a parcel has had
the effect of creating a better feeling for the article, not-
withstanding that the supply in importers hands is still
considerable.
The sugar market is heavy, and the trade are endea-
vouring to effect a reduction in the prices of the lower
qualities; holders are, however, firm, as there are buyers
for shipment at better rates than home dealers are will-
ing to give. Rum is in good inquiry for export. We
notice a somewhat slackened demand for ordinary
Coffee.

We may state with confidence that it is not just now
contemplated to make any alterations in the Import
Duty Bill, as the revenue derived under it forms an im-
portant item in the calculations of the finance com-
mittee, whose amenkled report is now before the House
of Assembly.

ST. MART-LE-STRAND EASTER VESTRY.—Pito-
poszn Nnw Cituncif GALLERY.— Last evening a vestry was
held in New Church-court, Strand, by the parishioners of
St. Mary-le-Strand, for the purpose of electing the several
officers, to make the rector's-rate, poor's-rate, and on other
business. The Rev. J. F. Denham, rector, presided; and
on the motion that the minutes of the previous vestry be
confirmed, Mr. Limbird rose and objected, on the ground
that one, of two motions he had made at the previous
meeting, " That at vestry, or other meetings erris
this
parish, no money shall be voted away for any purpose with-
out due notice of the same intention having been made to
the parishioners," was omitted from the minutes. He
(Mr. Limbird) would be satisfied if his motion was
now recorded on the books, This was subsequently
done, and the business proceeded. The next pro •
position was for the sum, of 250/. or 3001. for
the erection of galleries in the parish church,
but this motion fell to the ground. On the sum of 61. 10s.
being moved for as part of the expenses attending the
window-tax meeting at Drury-lane Theatre, the item was
ordered to be paid out of the church-rates. Relative to the
poor's-rate for the present meeting to vote, some very warn
discussion took place between the opposite parties assembledt
(rather unusual at this vestry) concerning the Pr°Pearinboe;
