MRs. CouTTs.—lt will be recollected that,
about a fortnight since, the first number of a series of
papers appeared in the Court Journal, giving an
account of the extraordinary marriage of the late Mr.
Edward Wortley Montague. The second number of
the same series, which are selected from a large mass
of papers belonging to a deceased personage of dis-
tinction, will appear TO-MORROW, April 5, and contain
some very curious particulars of the late Mrs. Coutts,
his late Majesty George IV., &c. The Court Journal
is supplied, free of postage, by all newsvenders, to
whom orders should be sent forthwith, to prevent dis-
appointment.—The office of publication is 19, Cathe-
rine-street, Strand.
A FOOL'S ADVICE.—When Leopold, Duke
of Austria, was about to invade Switzerland, he held a
council of his nobles, at which the court jester was pre-
sent. After matters had been arranged for the march
of the army, the Duke asked the jester what he thought
of their deliberations—" Just what I thought of the
mouse we caught last night ; every one told you how
to get into the trap, but no one said a word about get-
ting out,—Atheng UM.

COLONIAL MARKETS.---(THIS DAY.)
SUGAR AND COFFEE.—The markets for sugar and
coffee are this morning in rather an improved state,
but the holidays have prevented any extensive business
this week, and prices must be quoted about the same
as on last market day. In the market for Mauritius
sugars there has not been much done, but prices are
firm. In foreign and East India descriptions there
has not been any change.
RUM.—British plantation rums are at 2s. 3d. per
gallon for proof Leewards. Ja.maicas are steady.
TEA.—The transactions in the Tea trade are at a
profit on the prices obtained by the East India Com-
pany at the last sales. The clearances are considerable.
SALTPETRE.-This article continues dull, and, in-
cluding yesterday and to-day, above 7,000 bags have
been pressed on the market. Prices during the month
just ended are full Is. 6d. per cwt. lower, but there is
more firmness to-day. The sale of yesterday consisted
of about 2,010 bags, and were chiefly bought in at
255. 6d. to 265. per cwt. By private contract, a portion
has been taken since at 265. to 265. 6d. per cwt. Re-
fraction from 41d. to llid. per cent. The sales of to-
day are larger, but the result is not at the hour we
are writing known.

Iroico.ll-The export demand is still steady, but as
the Company's Sale is now so near at hand, little
is doing for home use.
WooL.—The sale of Wool yesterday indicated a
firm market. To-day and to-morrow, 2,400 bales
of Spanish and other Wools will be ofered, and the
state of the market may then be more correctly known.
SlLK.—This market is in a very depressed state, as
far as regards the raw material. In manufactures,
however, we are informed there is a brisk trade. The
large arrivals of China and Bengal Silk have altoge-
ther checked business.
BALTIC PRODUCE.—The Tallow Market continues
at 445. per cwt. The arrivals from the 25th ult. to
the 3d inst., are 735 casks from the Russian capital.
Hemp and Flax is steady.
In the Spice Market there is very little doing, if we
except Pepper, which is in demand.
TOBACCO.--The demand for export is small. In
stemmed and leaf Tobacco for home consumption, as
might be expected from the stocks held by the trade,
the business done has been very inconsiderable, and
from the general dull state of things very little pro-
spect of improvement can be looked for, the season
now fast approaching when the consumption is not so
great, that the trade will only purchase such qualities
as they are in need to work with what they hold,
which is pretty considerable for the business they are
now doing compared with what it was formerly, when
onr market was placed upon a more equitable and legi-
timate footing than it is or has been for some time past,
the article being confined to few houses. The pur-
chases for Ireland are small, and no improvement is at
present anticipated as the season advances.

YORKSHIRE MARKETS.
(From the Halifax Express

HALIFAX.—There was no improvement in the state
of this market last Saturday ; the demand for stuff
goods being still flat, and only purchased in a very
limited degree. In wool, the inquiries were more
numerous than on the preceding week, and more bu-
siness was done ; but the prices obtained were a shade
lower.

HUDDERSFIELD.—There was scarcely so much busi-
ness done in broad-cloth at this market, last Tuesday,
as there was in the week previous; and for what was
done former prices were barely maintained. In fo-
reign wool, however, there was -equally as much
business transacted, and former prices generally ob-
tained.

BRADFORD.—There was no very material alteration
in the state of this market last Thursday, as regards
prices ; but there was considerably more business done
in both goods and wool. In the Piece-hall there was
double the quantity of pieces sold that there was. on
the Tuesday previous ; but the manufacturers com-
plain very much of the prices. In wool, too, there
was much business done, compared with what has been
done during the last four or five weeks, and two or
three firms in the town have been purchasing very
freely, within the last few days, although it is gene-
rally believed that the prices realized were consider-
ably lower.
ROCHDALE.--This market, on Monday last, was
very dull and flat ; low goods were in tolerable demand
at low prices, but there was no call for the higher
qualities.
LEEDS. In the coloured and white cloth halls,
on Tuesday, the quantity of business done was very
limited.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNES-
Dmr.—The market to-day has been heavy. The sales
are reported at 1,500 bags; and prices, though not
lower on the day's transactions, are lookinE down.
