The only arrivals of importance this morning are the com-
mercial letters brought by the Overland Mail, the principal
portion of which have been delivered. It is satisfactory to
and that affairs were steady, and progressing in a favourable
dircc ion. There was however still, as respects trade, a con-
sidirable amount of British manufactures on hand at the three
Presidencies. It appears from the contents of some of the
private advices, that at Hong-Kong, as well' as at Canton, a
prelty general opinion was entertained that there would be a
re luction in the duty on tea proposed by Sir Robert Peel, in
the course of the present session of Parliament. As this is not
to be the case, a considerable degree of disappointment
wii be felt when the exposé of the Premier
arrives out. Since the Ist of October last, down to the date
of the present advices, the exports of tea to Great Britain
had only amounted to about 7,749,0971b5.. Very high prices
have been paid for green teas, and, for the reason above
stated, much excitement existed in the market at Canton.
Had there been a change in the duties, green teas would have .
advanced here in a greater proportion than black.
In the Stock market there has been a very trifling
variation this morning. Cons,‘'s for the Account have been
done at 100%, buyers and sellers, while for transfer to-
morrow the price has declined from 10014 to 99N. The
premium upon Exchequer-bills continues to advance ;it has
reached 70s. this morning. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been at 104% to % . India Stock at 283 282;
and Bal; Stock at 2121;4.
A good deal of business has been transacted in the Dutch
Four per Cents, to-dav, at prices from 9834 to 99%. The
Two•and-a-Half per Cents. have been, pretty steady at
%; Brazilian Five per Cents. are firm at 8990;
Mexican at 3514 %; the Portuguse Converted at 40%;
Spanish Consols at 27% to 28; and the Three per Cents.'at
40% N.
The transactions in the Railway Shares have not been
very numerous to-day, but, in general, prices have been
well supported, especially tor the Birmingham and Glouces-
ter, the Bristol and Exeter, the Manchester and Leeds, &c.
