but holders asking higher prices, business has been re-
stricted. This afternoon, several inquiries existed for

the former value, but for unclean kinds prices have given
way. To-day the market for all descriptions of Coffee
was in a flat state, and prices are still going down for
Ceylon ; good ord selling at 58s to 59s per cwt ; the
large quantity to arrive cause the trade to operate with

The holiday train ,on the Dover and Brighton
Railway came up last night crowded with pwsengers,
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 ec,nveyed at so rapid
a rate for so many miles without accident
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
"politikus 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.

DISGRACEFUL Fly.UD.—We have been requested
to state that some persons desirous of injuring the cha-
racter of the Anti-Monopoly Association of this town,
have lately adopted the following plan : —Letters are
issued in the name of the Association, professedly signed
by one or other of its officers, and addressed to various
parties. Some of them contain applications for money.
Several have been addressed to gentlemen of known
monopolist opinions, requesting them to act as stewards
at the approaching banquet. It may not be generally
known that this is an indictable offence, and the Council
have, we think, wisely offered 501. reward for such infor-
mation as may lead to the detection of the offender. It
may be proper here to state, that all letters issued by
the Association are prefaced with an engraved heading
of its name and motto, and if sent by post are prepaid.—
