MINISTERIAL AQUATIC EXCURSION.

Saturday, a very numerous meeting of his Majesty's Ministers,
as well those who are not of the Cabinet, as those who are, was
held to discuss divers weighty public question. The principal
topic which occupied the attention of the Council related to the fish.
cries on the river Thames, and espedally that stendeseript, which
has so much puzzled the natutallet, known by the apseiretion of
white bait. With a view to the more conveniently can this
subect, the Council met at the Crows send Sorigre Tavern, een.
with, experience having taught their Lordships that, in trying ex-
periments upon the finny tribe, Mr. Lovegrove, the well-known I
Wet of that far-famed house, would render them most tandem
assistance. This enquiry is an annual sae, and is now of
neatly half a century standing ; it hod its origin in the early part
Mr. Pitt's administration. Sir Thomas Preston having invited the
Premier and his colleagues to partake of turtle, and the invitation
being accepted, the place selected was the Crown and Sceptre at
Greenwich. The turtle proved excellent, and the fish • most
powerful auxiliary, and the Premier was so much plasm', that he
proposed to make the excursion an manual one, to take place Imme-
diately on the termination of the erasion. The proposition was
adopted, and the old fish dinner, am it is sailed, Ins continued
ever since. The weather on Saturday was most propitious. The
Wrty took water at Whitehall about five o'clock. The Duke of
ellington led the van in an Open boat, accompanied by five
or six of his colleagues. The remainder of the ty followed

VRENCH COMMERCE.
The quantity of indigo imported during the first six months of the
present year is 5.153 Wu. and 908 serene, of which 1787 mho. and
524 semis, wen received at Havre, and 3337 caiss. and 154 serot.s
at Bourdeaux. In hides, the returns are 222,337, of which 64120
were imported into Havre, 63186 to Bourdeaux' and 73358 to Mar-
seilles. In teas, have been imported 8576 misses, of winch
8806 were received at Ham. In pepper, the imports &Mount
to 16,486 saes, of which 7060 were received at Marseilles, 6277
at Bourdeaux, and 1636 at Havre. In pimento, the returns
are 2697 sacs. of which 1617 went to Havre. In A wettest'
rice, 13,090 fiats have been imported, of which 9617 were
received at Havre. In cloves, 8734 saes have been imported, of
which 2264 were received at lime, 2419 at Bourdeaux, 2936 at
Marseilles, and 1015 at Nantes. In wax, 3211 coils have been re.
ceived, of which 1072 were shipped for Havre, and 1066 for Bor.

Ham 1972 at Dunkirk, and 1526 at Dieppe. In pot and pearl.

Havre, and 2442 at M In cocoa, 9852 sacs have been tut.
potted, of which 4458 were received at Bordeaux, and 3712 at Names.
In indigo, the Importations are about the same as last year. In
hides, there is a falling off, principally from La Plata, where the
internal dimensions keep commerce almost at a stand-still. In pot
and pearl-ashes there is a considerable augmentation ; a large sup.
ply has come from the United States, and Havre is abundantly
provided. In cocoa, the quantity remains nearly stationary.
With teas they have been largely supplied from the United
States; the increase of imports in the article is quadrupled.
In peppers and pimento, the traffic has been veryfiat. In Ame-
rican rice, the Imports are much the same. Havre has re-
ceived more than all the other ports together, and has becit
enabled to supply them with what they wanted. In cloves
there has been a good supppply, but the price is low, and the
importers have lost corhsidasbly. The wax sales have been lively,
at good pekes. In dyewoods, the importation has increctifuni3o
siderably. The amount of la All Sorts" is for the first sietnunths
of the present year 19 mill. whilst for the first six months ht the
last year they had only 1" mill. imported ; notwithstanding which
campeschy maintains good prices. In mahogany the imports ore
less. Upon the whole, the commerce of France is quite as active us
it has been for the last four years.
Upon the subject of the transactions up to the 19th inst. the fol-
lowing remarks appear in the Review of the Havre Market. Our
stock, both of foreign wheat and rye, has increased, in consequence
of some arrival from Cherbourg; but we are totally destitute of
barley and oats. Sala of some select parcels of hides from Rio, im-
ported lately, have been made at an improved currency. Some sales
of importance in teas have been made, but generally at a decline of
our former quotations. Two eargoesof mahogany are daily expected
from St. Domingo. The sales of rice comprise 440 tierces. We
have received 93 tierces from New York, the only parcel remaining
hi first bands; in second hands, our stock does not exceed 306
demi.
Our Correspondent at Genoa, under date the 10th July, furnishes
us with the following observations on the market there. Sugars
keep steady : we have lately had large &rivals : with regar to the
Cxrewe can say nothing as yet, until it is seen what the
do with them. Coffee meets with a ready sale : that from
Rio is sought after from S. 7. to 74.3, but we have very little in
the market. Cocoa is at the usual low standard. ‘Ve are without
pepper. Coen from Odessa (tenni) is in demand, arising not only
from the news that it will continue to be admitted into the northern
ports of France, but also from the letters received from Hamburgh,
which state that the continued rains have greatly damaged the crop.
Three cargoes were sold daring the week, as soon as they arrived,
at the prim of L. 18e to 19 sn-board. Corn (dttri) on the con-
trary, on account of the abundance, remains steady at the price of
L. 22 for the Marlartopoli, and L. 24 for the Taganrog, with few
buyers.

CORN-EXCHANOZ, lIARK-LANR, JULY !6.
The truly seasonable weather we now have, has caused almoat a
stagnation in the Wheat market ; our supplies, it is true, are very
small, but the demand is likewise small, at a rednction of from 24.
to 45. per quarter. In bonded and free Foreign Wheat the reduc-
tion is still greater. The extremely small supply of arts has caused
an advance of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Peas and Beans are a
trifle higher. Flour remains at last week's prices. Trade is gene-
rally very heavy.
