The progress of the tea trade since the 10th ins
is thus reviewed by Messrs. Layton, Halbert, and
CO. Owing to the disturbance caused by the
Chinese war, the Ministerial defeat, the new
duties, drc., the information afforded will be found
interesting
`` With regard to transactions during the past month
,common congou which has fluctuated say from is Oid to
is lid, is the only sort in which considerable purchases
have been made. The telegraphic news received on the
25th tilt imparted more confidence, and subsequently the
letters added strength to the market. The defeat of
Ministers on the China policy, if anything, caused in-
creased inquiry, and the subsequent proposition of fixing
the duty to is 5d per pound for a year, has produced more
activity, common congon being now worth is lid. The
news just received from China is most serious, and it is
certain that our supply will fall materially short of last
Year's, so that notwithstanding our heavy stocks we
'ball not have too much for our wants. The estimated
..falling off in the export from China already shows over
43,000,000 lbs. Holders continue to exercise the
greatest firmness for all the good consuming kinds,
and we see no reason for altering our opinion that
1:13 shall have a higher scale of prices for this season
than we have had for years. As far as sales are concerned,
rums last mail there is no change to notice in the value of
black leaf sorts, little having been done in them ; fine con-
guns fully maintain previous rates ; Souchongs are more
saleable than they were ; flowery Pekoe is in demand for
ezPort, but scarcely any can be got, consequently prices
are much higher than they were ; fine and finest Oolong
are wanted. Scented teas have been purchased to some
extent at advancing prices. The position of green tea is
Unchanged; the very high opening rates for now crop teas
zre.barely maintained, all other kinds are saleable at quo-
„ltl,`The ; common Shanghai young hyson still continues
neglected; Canton gunpowder is rather dearer ; young hy-
ac?° are also more inquired after at slightly better
Prices. The tea sale advertised for the 17th instant was
Postponed till the settlement of the duty question.
Our stack hero is 72,386,000 lbs. against 57,523,000 lbs.

morning of the 2d inst. The arrivals to this port are

Assyrian, Nova Bella, .

Palmer
pride of the Ocean, Earl of Eglinton, and 'lsa-
bella Hurcus. At Liverpool, the Chebucto. The ques-
tionr‘ro of duty was settled on Friday in the House of
mons, which is to the following effect, viz.,—That in
lien of Duties of Customs now chargeable on tea imported
into the 'United Kingdom, the following duties shall be
charged :—To April, 1857, inclusive, is. 9d. per lb. ; from
and after sth April, 1857, to sth April, 1858, inclusive,
is. sd. per lb."
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
state that during the past week business has been
very inactive in most of the warehouses. The
Present state of the share market perplexes some of
this most experienced manufacturers, who are not
disposed to give the extreme rates realised at the
Present London sales. At Bradford there was a
steady demand for most descriptions of piece goods,
and 4, a fair business was done in goods suitable for
the spring trade. At Halifax business ruled very
(inlet, and prices generally are in favour of buyers.
At Manchester there was a fair business doing, as
buyers had not operated beyond present wants.
The market ruled firm for most descriptions of
goods suitable for exportation.
There continues to be a good attendance of
buyers at the public sales of foreign and colonial
wool, and the rates realised at the commencement
have been fully supported, viz., an advance com-
pared with those current in November last of 2d.
uu• per lb. on Australian and Lid. to 2d. on
Cape of Good Hope.
there is no demand from the trade. Australian
descriptions are offering at very low prices. The
Present stock of all kinds is 13,833 casks.
No improvement is reported in the New York
money market by the advices just received, per
'trearaer Europa. The inquiry for discount accotn-
thodation continued active, and 7 per cent. was
the allowance for deposits "on call." It was evi-
dent that the City banks were contracting their en-
gagements—the last weekly return showing a di-
minution in the loans and discounts of 949,227
dollars.
At the meeting of the British Colonial Bank and
Loan Company, held to-day, a report was presented
'Which stated that the whole of the proprietors'
Capital having been repaid, and 5/. bonus besides,
in addition to which a further payment of 2/. 10s.
Per share was made in November last, the directors
Could not, at this meeting, declare any further
dividend, as the whole of the assets had not been
realised. The report was adopted.
Although the quotations continue without the
least symptoms of weakness, the inquiry for dis-
count accommodation in Lombard-street and at
the Bank of England is less active, and a period
of diminished pressure is now expected. The specie
movement still excites attention, as the purchases 1
of silver on the continent necessitate a further drain
of gold from the Bank. On Saturday about 40,0001. 1(
tug sent away for this purpose, andunless the vessels
overdue from Australia soon arrive, other with- 1(
tlrawals will no doubt take place. The Peninsula,
fiom New South Wales, has been announced, but
She brings no gold; and the Blackwell, having now
been out 97 days, is awaited with some anxiety.
111 the absence of any other new circumstance to
hasulence the prices of the English Securities the
renewed efflux of gold from the Bank has led. to a
bew sales, and hence additional flatness is visi-

Comef in the supply which they will render available
ee e operations is likely to promote increased
firmness, but until the result of the elections is
known is there not much probability of a rapid im- 1
movement, unless the position of monetary affairs
becomes more favoUrable. Consols have been 931 1
t° 931 for money, and 93 for the account, with l'
heavy market. The Reduced have been specially
transferred at 93g. Exchequer Bills are 3s. prem.,
and -the Bonds 98/. Bank Stock is 2211 to 222.
-Very few bargains are recorded in the Foreign
Market. Turkish I per Cents. are heavy at 96i
to 97. Sardinian 3 per Cents, are 91 ; Danish 102 ;
and Peruvian 4i per Cents. 78k. Dutch 4 per
Cents. are 981.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 64 7 ; Mexi-

ditto Three per Cents., 55 56 ; Portuguese 3 per

ditto New Deferred, 241 ; Ditto Certificates,
6 ; Ditto Passive, 5 6.
A very moderate business has been done in Rail-
way Shares this morning, and the Market has fully
sympathised with the heaviness in Consols. The
quotations generally show a decline of about I to
per cent, on former values. Caledonian have receded
10s. ^; Chester and Holyhead 10s. ; East Lanca-
shire ss. to 10s. ; Great Northern ss. ; Lancashire
and'-Yorkshire ss. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln 11. ; Midland 10s. ; North British 1/. ;
and South Eastern 15s. Paris and Lyons rule
firmer and Northern of France are steady. Grand
Trunk and Great Western of Canada show no
material alteration. Lombardo-Venetian, and
Sambre and Meuse have slightly improved.

MARKET NEWS.—(This

CORN EXCHANGE.
The principal country markets held on Saturday were
rather scantily supplied with wheat, and most kinds wore
in moderate request, at about stationary prices. There
was a good demand for barley,
and the finest parcels were
somewhat dearer. In other kinds of produce very little
was doing.
Most of the continental markets have ruled inactive, yet
very little change has taken place in the quotatiorr.
Only moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports of foreign were
7,010 quarters of wheat, 15,521 barley, 17,500 oats, 700
rye, 3,420 beans, 45 peas, 810 tares, 60 rapeseed, 55 sundry
seeds, and 539 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to-day a very moderate supply of English
wheat came to hand, coastwise and by land carriage, in
but middling condition. Although the show of samples of
both red and white was small, and the attendance of buyers
was tolerably numerous, the demand for all kinds of wheat.
of home produce was in a sluggish state. In prices, how-
ever, compared with Monday last, no change took place.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer.
Good heavy qualities were in moderate request, at full
prices, but other kinds met a dull inquiry, without changer
in value.

The supply of English barley was limited, and we had a
good demand for most kinds. Fine malting parcels ad-
vanced is. per quarter, and the value of grinding and dis-
tilling sorts was well supported. Most of last week's im-
ports of foreign barley have gone direct into the hands of
the distillers.

Fine malt sold steadily at full quotations. Secondary
kinds were rather dull, but not cheaper. We were well
supplied with oats, for which the inquiry was limited at.
barely late rates. _ _ _

The show of beans was limited, and the demand was
steady, at full quotations.
Peas changed hands to a fair extent, at last Monday's.

Although the flour trade was by no means active, late
rates were well supported. Seared), any American flour is,
on offer.

The supply of foreign stock was very limited and in mid-
dling condition.
There was a slight increase in the receipts of boasts fresh
up from our own grazing districts, and their general qua-
lity was good, though not to say very prime. For all
kinds the demand was much less active than on Monday
last, and that clay's currency was with difficulty supported.
The extreme value of the best lots was 55 per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,900 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
England, 220 of various kinds; from Scotland, 300 Scots;
and from Ireland, 130 oxen.
The show of sheep was again limited, but nearly the
whole of the supply came to hand in excellent condition.
Most kinds moved off steadily at full quotations—the best
old Downs in the wool selling at 6s, out of the wool 5s per
8 lbs. It must be understood that our tabular quotations
refer to woolled sheep only. There were about 3,000 shorn
sheep in the market.
The few lambs on offer met a dull inquiry, and the top
figure was 7s 4d per Sibs.
With calves we were fairly supplied, and the veal trade
ruled dull, at a decline of 2d per 8 lbs. The highest price
was 5s 8d per 1 lbs.
Piga were in short supply and moderate request, at last
week's prices.

Mr. Topharn pilotted his Grand National triun,pb-
antly through the storm of abuse which once seemed
likely to swamp him and his undertalting. The bretzo
of popular favour, however, now again Cl!a his sails, and
will carry him on prosperously to his r.cla poi t on the
Dee. To drop clumsy metaphor, and to deal with fac.,s,
I may endorse the opinion which Las been advanced to
the effect that Mr. Topham is the best and most abused
handicapper in England. Of late it has become a
fashion to descry his handicaps, and to attribute to him
the most unworthy motives in distributing the weights
Yet he always commands large fields, and invariably
close and interesting encounters. Superiority, how-
ever, always excites envy and suspicion, and a man who
boldly puts into practice his own notions in opposition
to the theories of a clique, will always come in for a fair
share of abuse and adverse criticism.

BOROUGH HOP.
There is • steady business doing in good and fine hops,
at full quotations. Other kinds move off slowly on former
terms. The imports last week were 105 barrels Ostend,
12 from Rotterdam, 90 from Hamburg, and 93 from Nieu
Diep.
Mid and East Kent pockets, 3/ 15s to 5/ 12s ; Weald
of Kent, 31 5s to 51 Os ; Sussex, 31 3s to 4103 ; yearlings,
1110 s to 3115 r. per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Full average time of year supplies of potatoes are on
sale in these markets, coastwise and by railway, in fair
condition. The demand is inactive, at our quotations.
Last week's imports were 101 bags, 4 baskets from Niel'
Diep, 40 bags from Limerick, 114 bags 90 tons from
Schiedam, 100 tons from Harlingen, and 129 tons from
Tonningen.

The Liverpool meeting may, unquestionably, be pro-
nounced a success. If the legitimate events occasioned
little speculation and excited only a transient interest,
yet for the time they certainly sustained curiosity, and
were not regarded with indifference. They, too,
brought out certain horses, which it was ex-
pected would perform prominent parts in the course
of the current season. Charles O'Mall!y, who had been
backed for the Northamptonshire Stakes, gave turfites a
spice of his quality, and time may enable him to give
that spice a little stronger on a future occasion Messrs.
Barber and Saxon's horses do not seem exuctly up to
the mark at present. A nice, speedy filly was, however,
brought out in Polly Peachum, who may do them good
service. Mary ought to have won the Spring Cup, but
she seemed to shut up when Rodburn endeavoured to
squeeze her, and Bashi Bazouk pulled through by sheer
gameness. Mary seems soft and unable to stay. Fish-
erman, looking big and lusty, sailed gallantly away from
his opponents for the Trial Stakes, and he appears to be
neither sick nor sorry after his severe work last year.
He has thickened into a nice horse, and has lost that
" spread eagle" appearance which he presented last
season.

The Steeplechase was only a steeplechase in name.
The jumps were net formidable enough to deter a man
frcm leaping them, and the spills which did occur at
them were mainly attributable to the number and the
speed of the horses. Emigrant won with ease,
and, indeed, after clearing Beecher% brook the
second time, it was evident that only a fal'
would prevent his success. C. B )yee, both as
jockey and trainer, deserved the high eulogiums that
were passed on him, and the style in which he rode
showed that he was suffering no ill effect from an acci-
dent with which he met in the Hunting field a few days
before the race, and which was likely to have del:lived
him of the mount. Mr. Hodgman was confident of his
horses' success, and imparted his faith to 211 his friends,
who have themselves to blame if they did not get on.
They certainly had the office in time. Mr. Green, who
is part owner of the horse, throws in for a good stake ;
few other winners are reported. Ben Land made little
mistake about Weatherceck, who ran much better than
the public expected, after the horse's performance at
Derby and Lincoln. Emigrant formerly belonged to
Mr. Land, and was purchased by Mr. Hodgman just
prior to the Steeplechase at (I think) Shrewsbury two
years ago, the horse winning the event for which Mr.
Hodgman bought him. Treachery, who seems capable
of galloping fora month—not without going off a cabbage
leaf, as I heard some one remark—justified Mr. Hughes's
assertion that one of his lot would get. a place. Still the
field must have comprised many "duffers" for anima's
like Weathercock and Treachery to obtain places. Minos
sorely disappointed his party, the "swells" were on him to
a man, and they had every confidence in the safety of
their investments. The horse seemed somewhat- over-
trained. As I expected Escape was incapable of living
the pace with the light weight•, and his owner was
doubly unfortunate in being defeate I at Glasgow and
Liverpool. Two accidents were fatal. Garry Oven
rolled over a bank and broke his back, and Albatross
broke a blood-vessel. Both horses belonged to the Irish
Division. Tom Oliver wasted hard to ride Hopeless
Star, but he could not get down to the weight ; so, to
compensate himself for his disappointment, he had a set
to with a couple of Lancashire roughs, and having " well
foughten," he became tranquil and resigned to bis fate.
His second was another accomplished steeplechase rider
who was deprived of a mount by the low scale of weights.
Tile various mishaps and incidents connected with the
encounter have been so fully and accurately described by
the reporters to the daily and weekly press that I need
not refer further to them here, The Grand National
may in these " degenerate days" be rgar,ied as a steeple.
chase phenomenon—it mas a square race.
St. Giles was made a rattling favourite on Friday and
Saturday last for the Northamptonshire Stakes, and it
is confidently expected that his stable will furnish more
than one winner of the spring handicaps.
Sporting men have now commenced work in earnest;
at Lincoln and Nottingham they took their preliminary
canters, and at Liverpool they made the start for the sea
son. They show pretty good form, and teem as if they had
benefited by their winter's rest and relaxation. Two
meetings will be held this week, one at Doncaster to-
morrow and Wednesday, and the other at Salisbury, on
Thursday and Friday. The Northern gathering will bs
most attractive, its Hopeful Stakes alone being a tow, r
of strength to the meeting. The Steeplechase has been
restored to the programme, in obedience to the clamorous
demand made by the inhabitants of Doncaster, and the
farmers of the locality. The weights, however, have
been so adjusted as to give no encouragement to Lin-
colnshire and Yorkshire hunters. Odd Trick, it is said,
has recently changed owners for a stiffish price, and is now
in Mr. T. Parr's stable. Should he go to the poet I shall
trust him, as Mr. T. Parr evidently intends to farm all Trial
Stakes this season. From the public performers entered
for the Hopeful, I shall select Heroine and Polly Peachum,
and from the " dark lot" Fly-bpDay, who, report states,
has some form about him.

St. Giles is amongst the nominations for the Spring
Handicap, but it is doubtful whether he will go to the
post ; at least at my present writing no sign has been
made in his favour. Odd Trick, CArington, and The
Martlet are the only animals that appear to me to be
trustworthy, and I shall take them in the order named.
For the Chesterfield Plate I shall "stand "Breeze, Pon-
tifical, and Charles O'Malley. The Steeplechase will
bring out a large field, but I shall not attempt to deter-
mine the probable result.

"The Days" will be in great force at Salisbury, but
the meeting, perhaps, scarcely prospers in the shade of
their powerful stables. Still the racing is likely to be
interesting, and doubtless many turfites will scamper
from Doncaster on Wednesday in order to be in time to
assist at it on Thursday. Apathy, Tame Deer, and
Madame Rachel deserve notice for the Wiltshire Stakes,
and either Impatience or Gaberlunzie may wi❑ the Cra-
ven Plate. Moonshine and Mohawk are my fancies on,
paper for the Handicap Plate, and, should Tricolor and
Arsenal fight their battles o'er again fir the Biennial
Stakes, I do not believe that " the Tricolor will float
over the Arsenal."

A FRESH MAN.

FEIST'S RACING RECORD.

A work of reference long required by sporting men
has been supplied by Mr. Albert Feist, the reporter of
Sporting Intelligence for the London daily papers
Every month it is his intention to issue a complete re
cord of the racing season, together with much informa-
tion to racing men. To judge from the March part, his
undertaking is likely to be most successful. Returns of
every meeting in the United Kingdom, from the Ist of
January up to the day of publication, aregiven. and an in-
dex, in which the pedigrees of the horses and the trainers
names are stated, is also furnished. A complete list of
winning horses, with the amounts won by each accurately
calculated, is a most prominent "feature" in the work,
whilst the Summary of Betting will be an invaluable
guide to all persons who indulge in turf speculations.
Altogether a more useful book of reference for all per
sons interested in horse•racing has never before come
under our notice. Much care and labour have been
employed in its compilation, and the typographical ar-
rangement does credit to the printer and publisher
Mr. Wright, of Fulwood's Rents, Holborn.

the death of Eliza Burn was concluded at the London
Hospital. It will be recollected that the deceased had
gone with another woman to the shop of a photographer
named Alexander Hammit Clerk, i❑ the Commercial-
road, and that a dispute arose and a scuffle ensued, in
which Clerk struck the deceased on the head with a
hammer, that she died a few days afterwards, and that
an inquest which was held on Thursday was adjourned
to receive the evidence of a post mortem, examination.
That evidence having been received, the jury returned a
verdict of "Manslaughter'' against Clerk.
