and, after due inquiry, have ordered proper and tem-
perate chastisement.

now unknown. Dutch Bonds have been sold a shade
lower; the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 514 ; and the

in the quotations for Spanish, the Five per Cents.
being 154 ; and the Three per Cents., 204. Buenos
Ayres are quoted 204 also.
The most important feature in the produce market
has been the commencement of the large sales of tea.
The quantity to be brought forward extends to up-
wards of 25,000 packages ; and as far as the sales
have proceeded, they have gone off more favourably
than was expected.
