IMPORTS.

Cotton Piece Goode—We are still unable to report any
amendment in the state of our 'markets for Cottons gene-
rally, and with a continuance of the present low exchange
there are few articles that can be realised to any profit. ,
Though prices have undergone no change worthy of men-
tion, there has been rather more inquiry for some descrip-
tions of goods during the last ten days. Shipments on the
way are moderate compared to what has recently been the
ease, and though we cannot look for much demand until the
season is further advanced, we think we are justified in ex-
pressing. an opinion that prices have seen their lowest.
Shirtings—Grey have been in better request, and sales to
a considerable extent have taken place, though at no advance
in prices worthy of record. White remain depressed, and
transactions have been very limited.
Jaconets, White—The common and medium descriptions
of these goods being moderate in stock, have continued sale-
able at fair prices, but for the finer kinds, of which supplies
are proportionately larger, there is a very limited demand.
Grey of all kinds are extremely dull of sale, and in these
little has been done.
Lappets—Under this head we have also to notice a fair
demand for the cheapest description ; while all fine kinds are
only saleable at a decline on the prices lately current.
Lappet Scarfs—There is no improvement to notice in the
demand for these goods, which is of the most limited nature,
and sales only effected by submitting to a considerable re-
duction
Book Muslins—But little has been done in these goods;
obtainable prices continuing extremely low.
Mull Mulls—The finest descriptions of these fabrics are
saleable at fair prices, but for medium and common qualities
demand has fallen off. Arrivals have lately been rather
large, and during the past ten months are nearly double those
of the previous year.
Check Spots and Stripes, 12 yards—There is a fair demand
for suitable descriptions of these goods; 2,640 pieces have
brought 2rs. 5 a 6rs. per piece.
Dhooties—Being out of season remain without the least
inquirv.
Twills—White are a saleable article, but prices have de-
clined considerably, arrivals having been very large; 1,900
pieces have sold from Co.'s rs. 7 8 a 7 8 3 per piece.
Printed Goods—There is seldom much doing in these goods 1
at this season, and transactions since our last have been very
moderate.
- Coloured Goods—Turkey Red Twills are only in moderate
request, and in all fabrics under this head little of any im-
portance has been done.
Printed Handkerchiefs—A few small parcels have found
buyers, but stock is much in excess of the probable demand
for some time to come ; 1,094 dozen have brought from Co.'s
rs. 1 1 to 2 6 per dozen.
Mule Twist—Demand for this staple has been brisk since
our last, and prices have advanced fully 2 pies per morah for
almost all counts, though No. 40 continues relatively in the
greatest request. The reported sales are upwards of 1,500
bales, and the stock in importers' hands has been much re-
duced, being now about 1,500 to 1,800 bales, inclusive of one
or two recent arrivals. It will be seen by the annexed list of
imports that supplies during the last ten months are upwards
450 per cent. in advance of those during the same period
of last year.
Turkey Red Twist also continues in good demand, and
prices are well maintained.
Orange Twist has been somewhat dull, and the sales made
have.been at rather lower rates.
Woollens—Transactions under this head have been quite
unimportant, demand being almost suspended, and stocks of
all descriptions extremely large.
Metals—Though demand continues of a very limited
nature, there has been rather more firmness on the part of
holders, and prices are a little in advance of those obtainable
at the date of our last.
Copper—Sheathing, to the extent of about 2,000 mds.
has been sold from 33 5 a 33 8 Co.'s rs., the latter being
the present market value; 400 mds. Brazier have also
realised 33 12 Co.'s rs. In Tile there have been no transac-
tions, but about 700 mds. Old Copper has brought 34 12 a
35 Co.'s rs.
Spelter—This metal is still much depreciated in value;
about 8,000 mds. have been sold from Ct. Rs. 10-6 a 10 8,
but few holders will submit to realise at such low rates.
Iron—The better feeling noticed in our last has continued
to be manifested in demand for this article, and though
transactions have not been extensive, prices remain steady.
About 4,000 mds. English bar have sold from Co.'s Rs. a
2-2 3 per md., 1,000 mds. Swedish, Ct. Rs. 4 5 per md., and
300 mds. Boiled Plate, at Co.'s Rs. 3-2 per md.
Lead-1,000 Inds Pig have sold at the low price of Sa. Rs.
5-12 per fy. md.
In other metals nothing worthy of notice has been done.
Beer—There has been nothing done by wholesale of late,
sales having been confined to several parcels of second-rate
brands by public auction.

MONEY MARKET.
Bengal Hurkaru-office, Calcutta, March 7, 1845.
Tbe market has, upon the whole, been steady since the
issue ofour last summary ; and there is not so great a demand
for accommodation, as there was a week or two ago—nor do we
look forward to much change in existing rates of interest,
before the next opium sale, when there may be some activity.
Government Securities are not quite so buoyant, the in-
creased rates of interest at the banks for loans on deposit
having slightly affected the current value.
Exchange remains nearly stationary, with a small tendency
upwards, say 1-10 i to 1-14 at 10 months' date.
Bank Stock is inquired atter, but there seems little disposi-
tion to sell at present quotations.

First Exhibition of the Colossal Pictorial Representation suggested

most Gracious MAJESTY, her Majesty the QUEEN DOWAGER,
H. R. H. PRINCE ALBERT, &c. &c.
ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
MONDAY, April 28 ; TUESDAY, 29 ; WEDNESDAY, 30 , and
THURSDAY, May 1, 1845.
A magnificent modelled Representation of EDINBURGH, the
Pride of Scotland and of Scotchmen, and the immortal Scott's " Mn
Romantic Town," introducing the Old and New Town, the Nor'
Loch, as it formerly existed, the Carlton Hill, Nelson's Monument,
Arthur's Seat, Salisbury Cra,ggs, the Castle, Sir Walter Scott's Monu-
mmt, the Royal Institution, Holyrood Palace, and all the most inter-
esting features of " Auld Reekie."
The Proprietor had the honour of submitting the Model to his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, and he is delighted to say it met with
his most decided and perfect approval, and from the more than usual
care which has been observed in its execution, he points it out as the
happiest production of Mr. Danson's pencil. The drawings were
made by Mr. Danson on the spot, and present a bird's-eye view of
the principal objects of the Old and New Town, the Firth of Forth, &c.
The PROMENADE CONCERTS, so decidedly popular at this
Establishment, will this season be on an unusually effective scale. Mr.
GODFREY has been occupied since the close of last summer, in com-
posing and arranging a varied and pleasing succession of superior
Novelties, which will be produced in rotation, including some Ori-
ginal Pieces by Foreign Composers, not yet performed in this country.

THE MACKEREL FISHERY.—Last week the boats
in Mount's Bay were tolerably successful, and brought
ashore considerable quantities of fine mackerel. On the
day that the Havla steamers left that port for Bris-
tol, the fish realised 16s. per hundred ; but on the
days on which there was no steam communication,
between the ports named, the price fell to ss. a hundred.
With a railway communication with the markets between
Penzance and the metropolis, the fishery in Mount's Bay
may be expected to be considerably enhanced by the prices
the fishermen will no doubt realise for their fish. The mar-
ket gardeners, too, will reap the benefit of a quick transit of
their early produce.—Pazance Gazette.
