enrearenot any late colonial arrivals to notice this
e are glad again to notice the fact, that
the entries of vessels, with full cargoes, into the port of
London, are very large indeed. The same may be said
with respect to Liverpool, Hull, and Goole. A con-
siderable quantity of wheat and flour is coming in from
the United States and Canada. The arrivals from the
West Indies of sugar, rum, &c., are also very large in-
,deed. The impartation of tallow from Sydney is now
Decor/ling an important article of freight. Its quality is
exceedingly good.
Th e timber trade at Liverpool seems to have been
very active lately, and which must be of considerable
importance to our colonies. A broker's report states,
that since our report on the 2d instant., the arrivals have
Lbeen 25 vessels, 12,308 tons register, viz.-11 from Que-
bec, 7 from St. John, and 7, chiefly laden with deals,
from other ports. The market has continued firm, and
!learly the whole have been readily sold on arrival. The
latest sales in Quebec have been at 174-d. to 174c1. and
18d- per foot ; four cargoes of St. John, of 20 inches
average, have been sold at 21d. to 214c1. per foot. Other
descriptions are also in demand, but there are no sales to
report.
Thu English Securities opened firmly this morning, but
the business doing is very small. Consols for imme-
diate transfer have been 991 to 994, and for time 994
Exchequer Bills have been at the premium of 765. to 745.
The East India Bonds are 92 premium. Bank Stock for

The news from Madrid, as from Lisbon, alludes to
retrenchments in the Government expenditure, and
'which it is hoped will not only be talked of, but carried
Out.. In the meantime when new loans are broached,
we may consider that we have proof positive of the re -
iTurces or revenue of the country being inadequate to
t „"„ expenditure, and we cannot but regard that as an
unfavourable position. The Spanish Bonds have been
