The money market during the past week has been in a
tloomy state, caused in part by the drain apprehended to
arise from the Government Loan for Ireland ; and consols.
are quoted at lower rates. The advertisement of the
North Western Railway for Loans on Debentures at three
years date, at 5 per cent., and the announcement of the
shipment of £300,000 specie by the Boston steamer, con-
tributed to produce this effect. On Saturday an addi-
tional depression was produced, by the draughts of the
North of England Joint Stock Company being refused
payment by their agents.
Our Cotton market has partaken of the dulness which
extends unfortunately through nearly every branch of
commerce. The following is from the circular of Messrs.
George Holt and-Co., dated Friday last :
" Another dull week has passed over our cotton market.
This state of depression does not appear peculiar to our
staple, but seems also to extend, in a greater or less de-
gree, to nearly every article of merchandise and manufac-
ture. Iu the absence of any further news from America
regarding the extent of the crop and probable supply, we
are almost entirely governed by the state of the manufac-
turing districts and the Manchester market. The short
time' still continues ; nor is there, on a comparison of the
present cost of the raw material with the manufactured
article, any inducement for the trade to change their
course in that respect. , There can be no reasonable doubt,
however, that the very greatly reduced supply of yarns,
&c., for so long a period, is preparing the way, by the ex-
haustion of stocks in the hands of all retailers and foreign
markets (just as the spinners have worked up their own
stocks of raw cotton,) for another of those periods of ex-
cessive demand which produce a disturbance to the gene-
ral commerce of the country almost as injurious as the
present depreision ; but such are the fluctuations to which
our cotton trade has 'always been subjected—alternating
periods of prosperity and depression, mutually bearing
upon and producing- each other.
" We need hardly advert again to that which is in the
mind of every one—namely, how closely this depressed
state of the cotton market is connected with the great
question of food and finance. This appears to be under-
stood and felt by all.

" In the meantime, and under such testing circum-
stances, our market remains wonderfully steady and firm
in price. We are no lower this week, and although we
are very dull for the most part, there are occasional pur-
chases on speculation, which relieve in some degree the
general monotony of our proceedings. Our quotations of
prices will, therefore, remain as before."

The circular of Messrs. Trueman and Cook, of London,
dated March Ist, gives us the following with respect to
the colonial and produce markets for the past month :
" The sugar brought forward at the public sales in the
early part of the month met with a brisk demand, and
sold at an advance of 6d. to Is. per cwt. ; subsequently,
however, very heavy supplies of East India and Mauritius
came in, and importers being anxious to take advantage
of the existing demand, large sales were pressed upon the
market, which brought about a decline equal to 3s. per
cwt. on the prices current at the end of last month."
The deliveries for the month give a total consumption
in Great Britain of 42,100, against 30,600 in tne corre-
sponding month of last year. In coffee no change of
importance has taken place during the past month ; for
although at one time, there was a slackness in the
demand, and prices of Ceylon reached about Is.
per cwt., this has latterly been fully recovered, and
they are now on a par with those ruling on the Ist. ult.
Ihe transactions for home consumption have been consi—
derable, the trade buying with great confidence at the
existing prices, and altogether the market is in a healthy
and satisfactory condition.

"The sales..of indigo, which terminated on the 19th
ult., contained 9,494 chests, viz., 6,350 chests Bengal,
Benares, &c., and 3,140 Madras, Kurpah, &c. Of this
quantity 8,000 chests found buyers, being the largest
amount ever sold at this early season of the year. The
prices obtained ranged from 2d. to 6d. per lb. higher than
the October rates for Bengal, &c., and 2d. to 3d. for Ma-
dras and Kurpah. Since the close of the sale there has
been a fair extent of business going on, and from 200 to
300 chests have been sold, mostly of the better descrip-
tions of Bengal, and the low and middling qualities of
Madras, at prices quite upon a par with the sale rates.
The reduced supply in importers' hands for the May sale
will, probably, have some influence upon prices, and pre-
sent rates will, no doubt, be firmly maintained.
" The imports for the two months have been 2,263
chests, against 2,3'30; the deliveries 3,859 chests, against
4,126; and the stock is now 31.581 chests, against 31,711
in 1846.

" The tea market has presented no new feature during
the past month ; the trade have taken freely of the new
teas offered on arrival, but there has been no improve-
ment in rates. The stock of tea in this port on the pith
ult. was very nearly the same as that at the same date
-ast year, being 29,905,0001 b.. azainst 29,295,0001 b.;

while the deliveries to the same'period were 4,63,0001 b
against 4,142,0001b..in 1846 ; and the imports 2,759.0001 b
only, agaiiist 3,695,0001 b.
" In rice, with a comparatively limited demand, prices
during the early part of the month continurd to recede,
until a decline of 3s. per cwt. from the highest point was
established ; a reaction then took place, consequent on a
renewed demand for shipment to Ireland, and the quota-
tions are now only about 6d. below those of the Ist ult.

" The market for silk throughout the month has been
exceedingly dull, and the arrivals both of Bengal and
China have been unusually heavy, consisting of about
1,500 bales of the former, and upwards of 5,000 bales of
the latter, exclusive of 3,300 bales into Liverpool. Public
sales are to he held on the 24th inst., and as the quantity
to be then offered will no doubt be large, prices for the
present are almost nominal. At a public sale held at
Liverpool on the 21th ult., consisting of 761 bales of
China, 700 bales soid.at a reduction of (id. to is. on pre-

The advices by the Indian mail, received on Thursday,
are not of a character calculated to raise the drooping
spirits of the manufacturer. The Calcutta market was

difficulty obtained. ihTiemanTf;;;;;liiteMTil twistwas
not very brisk. Still, a fair business was doing ' • and for
some counts, the tendency was upwards. There has been
more animation in the market for metals. Copper—Tile
has been in demand, and sales to some extent are reported
at about 34 4 sa. rs. per maund ; sheathing has also been
placed at Co.'s rs. 37 4, and brazier's at Co.'s rs. 37 4 to
37 12. Iron—Several sales have been effected in common
bar, at from 2rs. 14a. to 3rs. per maund, the latter being
for fresh arrivals. Spelter has been gradually advancing
in price, more, however, from the firmness of holders,
than f. om any extensive sales or increased inquiry.
Exchange on England has been steady, 2s. 04d. to
2s. Old. per rupee at ten months' date having been the
extent of the fluctuation on good paper.
Freights are stationary, and little alteration expected.
A Bombay circular, dated Feb. 1, contains the follow-
ing :

Cotton Manufactures.—The foregoing general observa-
tions are meant to apply particularly to those, and little
additional falls to be added. Gray domestics, which
lately were in"demand for the Arab market, have, since
last issue, been sold at 8s to lOs below former prices.
Turkey red cloths, both twilled and plain, have also been
disposed of at a reduction. The holders of gray long-
el

toths and gray 'domestics, seem fully more desirous of
selling than parties are of purchasing. Sales in conse-
quence can only be effected at a reduction of price. Fine

White shirtings'and 45-inch gray ditto are, also in some
request, but there is no improvement to notice in their
value. 7-1 and 8-4 cambrics are scarce, and would com-
mand good. prices if now in the market in moderate
amount.

Cotton Yarns.—Sales of twist have not been made to
the usual extent, and a slight decline on several of the
numbers,. both mule and water is quoted thus :
Metals have been in fair demand without alteration in

prides.
Cotton.—There is still considerable activity in cotton
shipments for England, but prices have a tendency down-
wards, partly attributable to the inferior article on hand,
and to the scarcity of available tonnage in the harbour,

- and consequent advance in the rate of freights. Shippers
of this staple for China are doing nothing, preferring ap-
parently to wait the arrivals of new cotton to operating on
what remains-of the old. Of the new, some trifling par-
cels of Oomrawutty have been received, and for which
88r; per candy is asked.
Vreiglits..:---To Great
:Britain continue firm at £5 55.,
with an upward tendency, owing to the small amount of
available tonnage in the harbour. To China freight is
nominally 14 rs.

Exchange is slightly advancing, being now quoted at
2s. Old. to 2s. 04d. There seem to :b • more drawers
than buyers, the sales of English goods not having
am ou n tett. tO much, and the purchases of raw cotton 'being
considerable. The rate of exchange on Calcutta, at sixty
days'is now stated t 6 be at above 08-15-6 rs. ; on

ANNUAL SHIPPING STATEMENT, BY MESSRS.
AYLWIN & CO., FOR THE INDIAN COMMER-
CIAL YEAR, 1845-6.

In introducing these most important Tables to their
friends, Messrs. Aylwin congratulate the commercial world
upon the increased imports into Bengal of salt during the
present year, amounting to 502,616 bazar maunds, or
nearly 18,50dtons, which is one-fifth of the total manu-
facture of the East India Company. We have on previ-
ous occasions noticed the valuable services of Mr. A. C.
Aylwin in this country to get rid of the enormous im-
post upon this article in our Indian territories. His views
are here fully confirmed by the firm, who state that if the
trade were fairly thrown open. England might safely cal-
culate upon supplying from 150,000 to 200,000 tons, even
should freights be raised to 40s. instead of 205., the rate
at which the past import has been effected. It is difficult,
they say, to estimate the vast benefit which would accrue
to our shipping interest and our manufacturers if the
peasantry of India were relieved from the pressure of a
monopoly which compels them to surrender three and
sometimes four months of their annual labour to procure
a -necessary which could be immensely cheapened, thus
giving them a large portion of the fruit of that labour to
expend upon our manufactures. The bearing of the tax
upon the articles of sugar and hides has the effect of re-
pressing exportation. In the former article they calculate
that its abolition would enable us to procure from India a
further supply of 80,000 tons annually; and that from the
general stimulation of commerce India might be expected
to be able to take from us cotton cloths to the extent of
£2,000,000. beyond her present consumption, and to em-
ploy 225,000 tons extra of outward and 100,000 tons extra
of homeward shipping.
Of the tables furnished by Messrs. Aylwin, we must
necessarily give only a mere outline. Table A gives, for
instance, the entrance and clearances of British vessels in
each year since 1820. We can only give the two extremes.
In 1821 the British shipping " entered inwards" at ports
of the United Kingdom from British colonial ports, was
2532 ships, 656,213 tons. The clearances were 2698 ships,
663.145 tons. In 1845 the entries were 5685 ships,
1,895,529 tons. In 1821 the entries of British vessels from
foreign ports were 6669 ships, 863,891 tons. The clear-
ances were 5766 ships, 757,295 tons. In 1845 the entries
were 13,817 ships, 2,289,744 tons. The clearances were
14,008 ships, 2.427,552 tons.

Messrs.-AYlwin remark that the abolition of the salt
monopoly would tend to equalize outward and homeward
freights, thus cheapening sugars, rice, and other commo-
dities, to the British consumer; whilst it would remove
the necessity of shipowners selling the consignment of
their vessels in Calcutta to those agency houses which can
supply the greatest amount of homeward cargo to ensure
dispatch. They remark, too, that although the greater
part of the supply of salt will go from Liverpool, eleven
vessels arrived during the last year with whole or part
cargoes of salt from London, the major portion of which,
to their own knowledge, paid the shipping a nett profit of
upwards of 40 per cent. ! ! !
Table B.—The imports into Calcutta in 1840-41 under
British Colours were 545 ships, 202.166 tons. The ex-
ports were 619 ships, 202.497 tons. The imports in 1845-
46 were 549 ships, 220,031 tons ; the exports 717 ships,
267,698 tons. The imports under Foreign Colours, were,
in 1840-41, 66 ships, 21,183 tons; the exports were 80
ships, 29,914 tons. The imports in 1845-46 under Foreign
Colours were 80 ships, 29,914 tons ; the exports were 98
ships, 35,327 tons.

Table C. contains a vast mass of statistical matter of
great interest, tracing the imports into Calcutta from
1793-94, when we find " none' to 1845-46. We shall
content ourselves with tracing the progress from 1837-38.
In that year the total British imports were 509 ships,
137,143 tons, of which 123 ships, 55,132 tons were from
the United Kingdom direct, and via" the Cape, and
Madras. The total foreign imports were 87 ships,
26.547 tons. The grand total for the year was 596 ships,
163,690 tons. In 1845-46 the British imports were 1,080
ships, 286,024 tons, of which, 267_ ships, 136,575 tons,

Table D. gives the clearances for the same years, viz.,
1837-38, of British exports, 444 ships, 146,372 tons, of
which 124 ships, 59,289' tons, were for the United King-
dom direct, or via the Cape and Madras. The foreign ex-
ports were 86 ships, 25.739 tons, Grand total, 530 ships,
172,111 tons. In 1845-46, the total• clearances, British
exports, were 725 ships, 262.620 tons, of which 282 ships,
140,220 tons, were for Great Britain direct, or via the
Cape and Madras. The foreign exports were, 114 ships,
38.075 tons. Grand total, 839 ships, 300,695 tons.

tries inwards, half year of 1844, 406 ships, 166,382 tons ;
1845, 488 ships, 202,032 tons ; 1846, 503 ships, 208,984

202,056 tons ; 1845, 475 ships, 194,371 tons ; 1846, 490

don have risen from 116,632 tons, in 1844, to 148,926, in
1816. Liverpool has increased from 37,031 tons, in
1844, to 50,338, in 1846. Bristol and Hull have decreased
from 4807 tons, in 1844. to 2374 tons, in 1816. The Clyde
and other ports had 7822 tons, in 1844, 4301 in 1845, and
7046 in 1846, sheaving a large decrease in the average of
the last two years. The Clearances outwards chew an
increase from London, a decrease from Liverpool of 15.500
tons, a decrease of about two-fifths from Bristol and Hull,
and a small increase from the Clyde and other ports.
Table F gives the number and tonnage of vessels en-
gaged by the Land and Emigration Commissioners, to
convey coolies from India to the West Indies on the 2d
and 11th June, 1846. The number of the 'ships was 33,
the tonnage 19,902. From Calcutta five of these were
destined for Jamaica, seven for British Guiana, and four

1845-46, £4 Os. 9d. to £4 4s. 9d.
From the above tables, Messrs. Aylwin,-adopting the
conclusion that the rate of homeward freight is regulated
by the available supply of tonnage and the quantity of
produce to be shipped home, and considering that the
supply of the former will be seriously diminished by the
number of vessels taken up for Coolie emigration, whilst
few vessels unloaded in other ports and other countries
are expected to call at Calcutta, and produce is abundant,
-argue that increased rates of freight may be anticipated.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(BY EyernEss

LONDON CORN NiAktKET.--VOTERDAv.
The arrivals of English Malt for our market week were
somewhat large, while those of Flour were moderate. Of
Wheat, Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas,, of home growth, the
receipts were, taken collectively, small. The-re was a slight in-
crease in the supply of scotch Bar!ey ; but from Ireland only
about 900 nuarters came to hand. The imports of foreign
Wheat and Flour were trifling, but upwards of 27,000 quarters
of Oats, and a fair quantity f Barley, came to hand. From
Essex the receipts •of Engiish \heat fresh up this morning
were good, hut by no means of very superior quality. The
supply from Kent was less than that received on Monday last
while from the Essex coast the quantity was barely an average.
Although the number of Samples left over from last week wag
comparatively small, the stands were tolerably well, but by no
means heavily, filled with parcels of red and white English
Wheat.

There being again several buyers from France in attendance,
we have to report a very steady demand for all descriptions.
About 1203 quarters of Kentish red were disposed of for imme-
diate shipment to the French ports, at an advance in the quo-
tations obtained on Monday last of 3s. per quarter ; while, for
home consumption, 35. to 4s. per quarter 'more money was
paid for red qualities. In white parcels not quite so much
business was doing as in red, nevertheless the currencies im-
proved 2s. to 3s. per quarter, and at which nearly the whole of
the samples were disposed of. Owing to the foreign demand,
red Wheat is now bearing a very hiAli relative value to white.
The quantity of foreign Wheat brought forward was unusually
small, and, no doubt, will continue so for some weeks hence.
This article was in good rtquest for France, and about 2000
quarters found purchasers at a rise in value of from is. to, in
some few instances, 3s. per quarter.
Notwithstanding the show of Barley was but moderate, the
Barley trade—arising from the heaviness in that for Malt—was
dull, at an abatement in the value of fully Is per qr. Foreign
Barleys were a mere drug. 'flue supply of Mait exceeding the
wants of the brewers, all kinds mined off heavily at a reduc-
tion in last week's prices of froni Is to 2a per qr. The market
being very heavily supp,ied with foreign Oats, buyers held off,
and the prices were Is to 2s per quarter lower than on Monday
last, and at which the market closed heavily. In Beans, next
to nothing was doing, at an abatement of quite Is per quarter.
Peas were in short supply and slow inquiry. at unaltered prices.
Flour—both sack and barrelled—was held at Is to 28 more •
money. Indian Corn, both on the spot and for arrival, was
very firm, but not dearer.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YarrnR nA Y.
The weather being somewhat warmer than last week, the
butchers evinced but little inclination to purchase largely.
The primest arrivals were, however, in fair request at prices
about equal to those paid on Monday last ; but the inferior and
second-rate ones were heavy, at, in most instances, decline in the quotations, of 2d. per sibs. The highest
figure for the best Scots was 4s. 2d. per Blbs. At the close
of the market a total clearance had not been effeced. l'be numbers of Sheep were considerably on the increaste, and of
full average quality. Although the Mutton trade was
somewhat firmer than on Friday, it was by no means so
active as on this day se'nnight, and prices ruled a trifle easier
than on the latter day. A few very superior old Downs sold at
ss. 2d., but the more general figure did not exceed ss. per sibs.
With Calves we were scantily supplied,- yet the Veal trade was
in a very s.uggish slate, at t barely stationary prices. In Pigs
only a limited business was doing, at last week's currencies.
There were a few Lambs in the market, but they sold very
irregularly.

MONEY MARKET.—YEs-rit It DA Y.
The English Stock market opened rather better to-day, bat-
hes gone worse since. 'I he rise in wt eat again this morning,
the continued heart-rending accounts from Ireland, the unfor-
tunate embarrassment of the North of England Joint Stock Bank
at Newcastle, and the high rate of interest afforded by railway
companies on debentures, all concur to favor bear operations.
Consols were 894 2, but are now SR 8 for transfer to-morrow.
Time bargains have been made at 894/ ; and the new scrip le
flat at/ # prainium. Exchequer Bi Is have realised 3s. to 6s.
