TEA.--Since the deIiveryCOLONIAL of the letters by the Overland
Mail there has been rather more firmness in prices. The
transactions entered into have been on a very limited scale.
The deficiency in the shipments, as compared with the
same period of last season, amounts to above 18,500,000
lbs.

SUGAR.—The market has been very quiet, and the fest
sales of foreign recorded went at about previous rate?•
British plantation has been in very limited demand, and in
the Refined Market only a few dealings have been entered
into at about former rates.

COFFEE.—The inquiries for native Ceylon, for export,
have been rather more active, and plantation Ceylon, for
home consumption, has met a fair inquiry, at fully late
rates.

RlCE.—There has been a very limited business trans-
acted, but the few parcels of Bengal qualities sold went at
fully previous rates.
SALTPETRE.--A very limited business has been recorded
as holders demand higher rates than purchasers are disposed
to give, which has checked speculations in this article.
TALLOW.—The market continues very steady, and
the operations have been moderately active, and for
forward delivery slightly higher rates are current. T.Y.C.
on the spot, 54s 9d to 555; last three months, 565. per owt.

3IONEF 3141?1CE7' AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have exhibited little va-
riation of importance as regards prices. In some
of the principal staples a moderate business has
been transacted. Tea has continued exceedingly
firm, owing to the falling off in the shipments, as
announced in the advices by the overland mail.
British plantation sugar has been in fair demand
at about former prices, chiefly, however, for home
Consumption. The inquiry for native Ceylon coffee
on export account has been rather active and full
rates have been realised. Rice has been dull, and
the few transactions recorded have been at former
quotations. Spices and saltpetre have exhibited no
material change, the high rates asked by holders of
the latter article preventing extensive transactions.
The tallow market has been rather more active,
and the speculative dealings for forward delivery
have been numerous, prices generally exhibiting an
nPWard tendency.
More inquiries formoney are now experienced, the
applications both in Lombard-street and at the
Bank of England having increased within the last
two or three days. The rates of discount tend up-
Wards, but no positive alteration can yet be an-
nounced, and if the demand should subside,
after the payments of the 4th of the
Month, less firmness may be again experienced.
The immediate requirements of the' Indian
authorities, viz., £7,000,000, may not exercise a
very important influence, for money is abundant,
although the public seem disinclined to employ it
in speculative enterprise. The Indian Budget has
treated no surprise, as it merely verifies the esti-
mates previously formed of the assistance that
Would be required to provide for the current!
financial year.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
ness was very dull, and, prices remained without
?iteration. The sales were estimated at 8,000
bales. The Railway Share Market continued
quiet, and prices heavy.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday. The gold by
the Asia from New York, viz., £Bl,OOO has been
taken for the Continent.
There was a meeting of the Northern Counties
Inien Railway Company to-day, when a further
division of ls. 4d. per share from the assets on hand,
Was proposed, and agreed to unanimously.
Decreased firmness has been apparent in the
market for Public Securities to-day. Notwith-
standing. the unfavourable Indian financial state-
talent) business continues dull, but a few purchases
'Lave been effected, which, together with the im-
provement on the Paris Bourse, have exercised a
beneficial influence. Consols are 941 95 for money
41,4 d account, and the tendency is favourable.
Bank Stock is steady at 2211 to 223; the New
Threes are firm at 951 ; the Reduced, at 94i to
IN; and the New 21 per Cents. at 791. India
stock is flat at 219 ; ditto Loan Debentures, 1858,
have receded to 94; and Exchequer Bills to 30s.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES,

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 2.
The Hungarian has arrived from Quebec with
advices to the 23d, and from New York, by tele-
graph via Father Point, to the 23d. On the 23d
spoke the screw steamship North Briton, bound up ;
on the 26th a screw steamer, supposed to be the
John Bell, from Glasgow for Quebec.
The Africa, hence, arrived at New -York early on
the morning of the 21st ult.

NEW YORK, JULY 23.
The steamer Etna left last night for Liverpool,
*with 214,000 dols. in specie.
The Arago and Weser sailed to-day for South-
ampton, the former with 758,140 dollars, and the
latter with 63,000 dols.
The steamer Quaker City arrived here to-day,
with late dates from Havannah. Just before she
left
a telegraphic despatch reached Havannah
announcing a large fire in Cienfuegos, which had
destroyed the warehouses of Avila and Leblanc and
Thomas Jerry, together with 6,000 hhds. of mus-
covado sugar.
Our stock market to-day has been lower and
fair heavy Money unchanged. Cotton is firm and in
demend at an improvement during the three
IYB of lc. to 4c. per lb. Midling Uplands, 12c.
_ lour is unsettled, and has fallen 30c. to 40c. per
Parrel in the last two days. Wheat also is decidedly
lower. Corn has fallen to,Boc. to 84c. for mixed.

The American accounts from Mexico by the Asia
seem to furnish another illustration of the kind of allega-
tions that can be palmed off upon the people of New York
regarding politi,:al proceedings in that country. The
41,000,000 of specie intercepted by General Robles on its
'way to the coast, but subsequently released, is stated to have
been saved only by the interference of Mr. M'Lane, the
American Minister, Robles having received peremptory
orders from Miramon a few hours later, backed by Mr.
Otway and also by M. Gabriac, the French Minister not to
allow it to proceed. It is believed that Mr. Otway, who is
,coming home, has much to answer for, but it is not likely
he would have assumed the responsibility of endorsing the
orders of Miramon wifh regard to treasure consigned to
British merchants.
A judgeship in the Dublin Court of Bankruptcy
has become vacant by the death of the Hon. Patrick
Plunket, one of the numerous sons of the late Lord
Plunket, who expired yesterday at Kingstown in the 60th
Year of his age. He succeeded his colleague, Mr. Macan,
but a few weeks, and wanted but a year of service to en-
title him to his full retiring pension.
SHOCKING OUTRAGE AT SHEFFIELD.---Tuesday
Morning.—About 10 o'clock last night James Linley, saw.
grißder, was shot while sitting at the Crown Inn, Scotland-
street. The ball entered his left temple, and lodged behind
the eye. He is expected to die. Linley has previously
been shot at, and attempts have been made to blow up his
house, and he has now no doubt been shot for To fusing to
join the Saw-grinders' Union.
