Business has improved a little since our last, exten-
sive sales having been made in articles in which there
has been a reduction of import duties. The stock of
flour is heavy; sales are forced at our quotations, and
no advantage has been derived by importers from
the decrease in duty on that article. Pilot bread still
dull of sale. The demand for pork is limited, at present
high prices. Four cargoes of dry cod fish have arrived
during the past fortnight from Newfoundland, and one
small lot from Nova Scotia; last sale, a large cargo of
2,500 quls., at 3.k dolls. Pickled fish in great request;
no mackarel at market. The stock of white and pitch
pine lutel,cr very light, and one or two cargoes would
meet remly

ChtMillis AccommoDATloN.—Since the closing of
ackfriars-bridge the passengers travelling by tlll,e King's-
been r°B3 and Islinton and Kennington-gate omnibuses have
tp Put to some considerable inconvenience and loss of time
"lsequence, as it is alleged, of a " misunderstanding"
between- the proprietors of these vehicles. This niisunder-
atandin g has,
for some extraordinary reason or miler, in-
ced the owners of the Islington buses to drive their vehi-
clesen route to the New Post-office, over Waterloo-bridge;
abile
obstinacy the proprietors of the King's- cross vehicles, with equal
and inconsistency, in making for the end of Chan-
ZY-lane pass over Southwark-bridge, so that the passen-
gers Chancery-lane,
to get to the Post-office, as well as those going
uancery-lane, or onwards, are considerably retarded in
have
progress. The proprietors of these vehicles would not
),a4(vie thought of taking such a lierty with the pablic it it
not so tamely submitted tot he imposition of upwards
of thirty-three per cent. on the fares on the Ist of May last.
It is s
takep nmewhat surprising that the Stamp-office has not
any notice of the affair, as it must be evident that both
vehicles travel much beyond their proper limits.
