steady at from 375. to 395.

barely realise 2s. 3d.; Jamaica, 30 to 50 over proof,
3s. 9d. to 4s. 4d. ; 15 to 18 ditto, 2s. 10d. to

HOPS AND SEEDS.—As the season is advancing
when the Seed 'market- becomes animated, the quo-
tations are sought for with interest. English Red

to 725.; White Clover, 84s. and 90s. to 100 s.;

THE OIL TRADE.—Linseed Oils are steadily im-
proving. The quotations of other Oils are firm,
Greenland at 261. 10s. per tun.
SALTPETRE.--Since the Company's sale Salt-
petre has been in fair demand at from 255. Gd. to
265. per cwt. •

TOBACCO.—LittIe or nothing is doing in Tobacco,
and the demand is not expected to revive until
something certain is known relative to the intentions
of. Government regarding stemmed Tobacco. De-
putations from the London as well as the Liverpool
Tobacco merchants have had interviews with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer within the last four
days, and from their report they appear satisfied
that the Chancellor will only impose the increased
duty of 3d. per pound en stemmed Tobacco im-
ported since the 10th of October last; but the
quantity of this is exceedingly small, not amounting
to 500 hhds. in this port. Much anxiety is felt for
the official communications, which are expected
shortly to be made in Parliament on this subject.
COTTON.—In consequence of some heavy arrivals
of Swats and other cottons, the market has again
become flat, and may be quoted one eighth lower.
The accounts to day from the principal manufacturing
districts are more favourable, the demand for manu-
factured goods being on the increase.
BALTIC PRODUCE.--The demand for Tallow is
very heavy, and the price not higher than 395. Gd.
per cwt., principally owing to the abundance of the
home produce which realizes 41s. per cwt. Specu-
lative business is very dull. The delivery of Russia
tallow last week was 1,736 casks, and the stack is
22,800 casks. Bristles are dull of sale. Hemp and
Flax steady. The letters from St. Petersburgh to
30th ult. quote tallow at 97 rubles; Exchange
10 31-32nds.

Mr. O'Connell, it is said, has placed himself
wholly in the hands of Mr. Brougham, Sir James Macin-
tosh, and Sir Francis Burdett, and is guided as to taking,
or rather not taking his seat, by their joint advice. •

has been committed for trial at the sessions at Newicastle-
on-Tyne, on a charge of having wilfully murdered her own
mother, Margaret Jameson, widow, in her room in the
Keelman's hospital, by thrusting the small point of an old
iron poker, through her breast-bone into her heart, of
which mortal wound the poor woman died 12 days after.
