TALLOW MARKET.

The demand for Russian Tallow was steady, and
full prices were paid. 48s. to 48s. 6d. for fine /ellow
Candle on the spot, and 48s. for delivery up to the end
of the year. Some sales were made in South American
Tallow at extreme prices.
TEA MARKET.

The market was in a flat state, chiefly owing to the
non-arrival of the India mail, which leaves the trade
in a state of suspense. Common Congou was offered
for cash, at Is. Bd. per lb.

WEST INDIES.

The following is the only intelligence of interest
brought by the Royal Steam-packet Company's
steamer Dee :

JAMAICA.—Every thing quiet. Lord Elgin gain-
ing more popularity; he and Lady Elgin had gone
into the country for her Ladyship's health. The House
of Assembly would commence their session some day
this month, and affairs were very harmonious between
the Governor and the Members. The sugar crop
was expected to average about 60,000 hogsheads. The
Ist of August ships had all sailed, and there was pro-
duce at hand to load the vessels in port. The want of
labourers was very much felt, the wages not being
sufficiently high to remunerate the negroes for their
work, which consequently caused a refusal to labour
on their part. The Electra had arrived with specie
from Carthagena, which ship of war, with the steamer
Spitfire, were in port.
LIMA, JUNE 18.—General Lafuente on the part of
the Peruvians, and General Baliviana on behalf of
Bolivia, had come to conditions of peace at Puno, so
that now in those quarters matters are settled. A
change was expected in the Government, it being an-
ticipated that the ensuing elections would have a
majority against the existing administration. The
Callao arrived at Callao from Liverpool on the afore-
mentioned date.
MExico.--The day after the Dee sailed from Vera
Cruz, 1,500 troops were to sail from Campeachy.
Three French vessels were engaged to convey them,
and they would be accompanied by two sailing Mexi-
can ships of war and the steamer City of Dublin. The
Mexican soldiers were suffering very much from the
prevailing fever • several had died. The British ships
of war Rover and Victor were at Vera Cruz.
HONDURAS.--,Nicaragua and other States who re-
fuse to pay the indemnity required by Great Britain,
are still blockaded.

HAVANNAIL—Fever still raging very fearfully. At
one time there were 26 cases on board the Dee; two
seamen fell victims to its violence, and the ships, ge-
nerally, were severe sufferers by the loss of different
members of the crews. The GovernmEnt had issued
an order, that if any British sailor or officer was
found on shore with any sharp weapon above 16
inches long, they should be condemned to six years'
hard labour in the chain gangs. It appears that this
proclamation was issued on account of some Spaniards
having got worse off in a scuffle which ensued between
them and some sailors belonging to one of the steamers.
Exchange on London, 13 to 15 prem.
Freights—To Great Britain, 2/. 10s. to 3/. ; to
Falmouth and a market south of ll'amburgh, 21. to 2/.
ss. ; to the Mediterranean, 2/. 10s. to 3/.

The steamer Medway was at Nassau; the Solway
had sailed from Havannah fGr the Gulf; the Teviot
was going into Corunna as the Dee was leaving; the
Volcano British man-of-war steamer was to sail from
Bermuda on the 12th ultimo for Halifax; the Styx
surveying vessel was at Fayal.
Passengers--Jamaica, Messrs. West, Martin, and
Atkinson. Lima—Messrs. Aguie and Gillman. De-
merara—Mr. and Mrs. Forster, three children, and
servant. Barbadoes—Miss Reece and servant; Mr.
Reece died of consumption on his passage. Grenada—

on the following morning. In consequence-ot' the
absence of the Provost, who is expected to return
from Brighton in the course of to-morrow, various
other arrangements connected with the funeral pro-
cession have not been determined upon. The, cere-
mony will be conducted as privately as possible; but
it is expected that the whole school, with all the au-
thorities of the College, will attend the funeral, to pay
the last tribute of affectionate regard to the memory
of the venerable and illustrious Etonian. There will
be no indiscriminate admission of the public to the
interior of the College chapel during the ceremony--
that privilege being confined to those who are known
to the authorities of the establishment. It has been
determined that the remains of the deceased Noble-
man are to be deposited in the same vault with those of
his old and valued friend, Dr. Goodall, the late Provost,
in which are also deposited the bodies of Provost Bland
(who died in 1746) with his wife. the Rev. Mr.
Briggs, Fellow of Eton (who died a year or two
since), and Miss Keate (the sister of the Rev. Dr.
Keate, late head-master, and now one of the Canons
of Windsor.) The tomb, which is of sufficient di-
mensions to contain 20 coffins, is about 18 feet long,
feet wide, and 8 feet in height.
