way. To-day the market, for all descriptions of Coffee
was in a flat state, and prices are still going down for

large quantity to arrive cause the trade to operate with

ther give way in price, latt the demand has been limited

The holiday train on the Dower and Brighton
Railway came up last night crowded with passengers,
to the amount of a thousand persons. The day was as
fine as could be wished, and all parties seemed to have
enjoyed the day's trip to the utmost. The arrange-
ments made by the Company were in every way com-
plete, and the great number conveyed at so rapid
a rate for so many miles without accident is,
perhaps, as great a proof of the safety of steam
conveyance as has ever been furnished. The
town of Dover has enjoyed a large share of the
patronage of the Londoners in their brief interval of
leisure. The cliffs, the beach, and the Channel breezes
seem to have had irresistible charms for the many in
" populous city pent," for they have availed themselves
of the opportunity of visiting them in hundreds. The
ancient Cinque-port has rarely seen such gaiety as it has
witnessed this Easter.
The counsel for the traversers on the State trials are
to hold a consultation, in Dublin, on Friday next, pre.
vlous to the opening of Easter Term, on Monday.
Lord Wharncliffe left town on Monday for his seat
