IMPORTS.

Bethel Nut—There have been no fresh arrivals, and the stock
is consequently still entirely in second hands. We hear of no
sales by the dealers. Prices are unaltered.
Camlets—Our quotations are nominal, there not being the
slightest demand for these goods. The arrival of the Anne
Jane has added upwards of 1,500 pieces to the already exces-
sive supply.
Chintves—Nominal, no inquiry.
Cochineal—Nothing doing.
Cotton—Rates have not improved, but the market for Bengal
staple is rather firmer. We do not, however, hear of any
transactions in this description of cotton. About 3,000 bales
of Bombay and 600 bales of Madras have changed hands during
the past week.
Cotton Yarn--Prices remain the same as before ; almost
nominally so, however, as nothing is doing.
Elephants' Teeth—We hear of one small sale of the first
quality, at 85 dollars per picul.
Fish-maws and Shark-fins—None of the recent arrivals have
yet been disposed of.
Longcloths—No transactions are reported in whites, which
are still depressed. About 5,000 pieces of grays have changed
hands, the greater portion being of inferior quality.
Long Ells—There is at present little inquiry for these goods,
and rates are low. About 800 pieces assorted have been placed
during the past week at 7.15 dollars per piece.
Opium—The market is somewhat firmer than last week, but
prices remain much the same.
Rattans—Have given way still further, 2.10 dollars per picul
having been accepted for a parcel of 1,900.
Rice—We have no sales to notice. The market continues
firm, and the dry weather we now have will probably tend to
maintain prices.
Sandalwood—The stock en hand is moderate, but the de-
mand is equally so, ard rates do not advance.
Tin Plates—Have improved somewhat, 400 bozos having
lately been moved off at 7.30 dollars per box.
Woollens—We hear of the sale of 500 pieces of Spanish
stripes at prices within our quotations. The market is very
languid, and rates will probably go still lower.

The Chambers were still sitting, but there had been a great
deal of angry feeling existing between the Upper and Lower
Houses, on account of the former refusing a Bill passed by the
latter, but matters had been settled, and the business was pro-
ceeding more amicably.
Coffee and sugar sales very dull.
The Imperial Family enjoyed good health, and it was ru •
moured that the Empress is enceinte.
British ships of war in harbour—Brig' Grecian, packet
Petrel, arid yacht Gauntlet. French ships of war—Frigate La
Charte from Otaheite, frigate Atalante from Monte Video,
corvette L'Egerie from Tculon, bound to Bourbon ; also the
corvette Loise, for the same destination.
RIVER Pr.ATE.—The dates are to the 31st of May from
Monte Video. The British and French Plenipotentiaries had
obtained interviews with Rosas, and it was hoped that matters
would be arrangedby treaty, preserving the independence of
Monte Video, which would be taken under the protection of
the British and French. It was said that the Plenipotentiaries
were determined, either by argument or force, to settle the
question with Rosas. The Monte Videans complied with
every proposal made to them. Riveira was still at Rie de
Janeiro.

BAIIJA.—The barque Mathesis, Captain Gordon, had put
into this port with her cargo of coals heated, bound to Aden,
and also to land some Dutch sailors which Captain Gordon had
taken off the island of St. Paul's, belonging to the Jan lien-
drik, of Rotterdam, wrecked there.
