Our SHARE MARKET has been very steady all
week, but without much business. Prices are about
one per cent. higher all round. To-day we have
been rather more dull, which is attributed to LOUIS
NAPOLEON'S last message, and the remarks of the
Times thereon. We annex the quotations :—Black-
burn, 71; Caledonians, 28i- 9 B',l-; Eastern Counties,
121 9-16 ; East Lancashire, 19T ; Edinburgh and
Glasgow, 383-; Lancashire and Yorkshire, S7l 7;
ditto fifths, 3-1-d ; ditto £l6, 1-16 d ; Leeds Northern,
; London stock, 125 4..fc; Sheffield pref., 11T7,-;
Midland stock, 791; North British, 9 7-16; Northern
Union A stock, 262; Dover stock, 23-1 ; Great

15-16 p.
PRODUCE MARKET.—The demand for produce
continues steady, and full rates are maintained.
SUGAR has again been in demand for export and
refining purposes, and these deseirptions are rather
dearer; grocery sorts have maintained previous
prices, but they have been in less demand. In
COFFEE and Rum there is no change, but prices
are supported. TEA continues to attract attention,
and capitalists are quietly getting hold of all offering
at moderate rates, chiefly Congou, ruling at lld. to
Is. 3d. per lb. The impression that there will be a
reduction in the duty is becoming stronger. The
trade are also appearing as buyers, both on the spot
and to arrive, which is a strong feature in favour of
the article; generally they hold light stocks, and
seem now to be aware of their dangerous position.

On SATURDAY and To-DAY SUGAR has been
in active and extensive demand, at a further ad-
vance of 6d. per cwt. on Colonial, and at full prices
for foreign; the sales comprising 320 hhds. Antigua
at 335. 9d. to 375. 9d., 140 hhds. Jamaica at 335. 6d.
to 355., 40 hhds. Barbadoes at 35s 6d. to 39s 6d.,
'4.BU 17,....“4“,. I.laKO 17a 4GD
at 31s. to 365., 5,500 bags Khaur at 285., 1,200
boxes Havannah at 235., 1,800 bags Pernams at
16s. 10 d. to 175., 700 bags Paraiba at 18s., with
80 cases and 1,400 bags Bahia at 17s. 9d. per cwt.
Nothing has taken place in MOLASSES, and only a
small parcel of Demerara Rum sold at previous
prices. Of COFFEE a few casks of Jamaica have
brought 665. 6d. to 80s., and 250 bags St. Domingo
445. per cwt. 50 bags Bahia COCOA, with all
faults, sold at 19s per cwt. There has been a fair
business transacted in TEA at full rates ; common
Congou is in request at 9d per lb., but holders are
unwilling to sell. A cargo of American RICE, to
arrive, is reported at los. per cwt., and we have to
add 200 bags SAGO FLOUR at 16s. 6d.; 50 chests
livery orange SHELL LAC at 525. per cwt., and
300 bags Bombay LINSEED at 48s. per cwt., from
the quay.
COTTON.—The Cotton market of the past week,
influenced by the adrices received from the United
States, per Asia, of increased estimates of the grow-
ing crop, opened rather lower than the previous
week ; and Cotton was quoted on Friday Id. de-
cline. The sales were 54,400 bales, of which spe-
culators took 19,000, exporters 3,820, and the
trade 30,780 bales.—To-DAY, the America's ad-
vices, received here yesterday morning, are more
favourable for the growing crop, and the estimates
come much larger. The receipts at the shipping
ports were heavy, say 256,000 bales, being 56,000
in excess; and the exports 70,000, or 20,000 more
than at the same time last year. Under the in-
fluence of these reports, the market here has
been quiet to-day, and closes with a downward
tendency. American presses heavily for sale,
and would, no doubt, he bought at lower rates.
The sales since the publication of the weekly report
are 19,000 bales, namely, 8,000 on Friday, 6,000 on
Saturday, and 5,000 to-day. Of these, 6,000 were
taken for export and on speculation. The import
since Thursday is about 16,000 bales.

WooL.—There was a good attendance of the
trade here at the public sales on Wednesday and
Thursday last, when a good assortment of low Wool
was offered. For East India the bidding was very
spirited, and the better qualities realized id. to ld.
per lb., and the lower id. to per lb. higher
prices han the last sales here. Egyptian also sold
at to Id. per lb. advance. For English and Irish
Wool there has been a good demand throughout
the country this week ; Irish hogs, 14-Id. to 141 d. ;
wethers, 13Id. to 13d. per lb., delivered in Dublin ;
Down tegs, to 174 d. ; ewes, 14d. to 141 d.

RESIGNATION OF THE REV. FIELDING

OULD

WE regret to have to announce that the Rev. FIELDING
OULD has resigned the incumbency of Christ Church, in
this town. On Sunday morning the rev. gentleman,
having taken his text, proceeded to say that he app eared
before them under somewhat painful circumstances.
Having referred to his ministry amongst them for nearly
seventeen years, he said that, in consequence of circum-
stances over which he had no controul, he deeply regret-
ted to have to inform them that his resignation, as the
incumbent of that church, was now in the hands of the
trustees, and that his labours would be removed to a dis-
tant part of the country in the course of a few weeks.
After repeating the observation that his resignation had
arisen from circumstances over which he had no controul,
he remarked that that was neither the time nor the place
to enter into any further details. The rev. gentleman
then proceeded with his discourse. We understand that
the more immediate cause of Mr. OULD'S resignation is
to be attributed to some differences which have for some

time existed between the rev. gentleman and the trustees
of the church.

BRAZIL.—By the Reindeer, Capt. Hunt f►om Paraiba,
which arrived in this port on Saturday, we have a fort-
night's later intelligence from Pernambuco. The week
previous to the sailing of the Reindeer had been very quiet
in every branch of trade, but, as the crop season was fast
approaching, a mere active trade was anticipated. The
new yield of sugar had been arriving in fair quantites,
giving every promise of considerable supplies. The
quality was reported to be good. The entires of cotton
had been considerable, but the quality was said to be
somewhat inferior. The imports had beeu on a very
limited scale. On the 3rd of October the Sevorn arrived,
with advices of a rather discouraging nature. The large
quantity of beetroot sugar in progress of manufacture on
the continent conduced to render the advices from Europe
less favourable. In exchanges no transactions had taken
place, and nothing was expected to be done before the
arrival of advices from the south.

REPRESENTATION OP LISBURN.—The Lord Advocate
of Scotland is the candidate for the representation of Lis-
burn, in the room of Sir James Emerson Tenuent.
