At Smithfield yesterday. there was the largest merket
of Sheep aod Lambs ever known ; opwards of fourteen
thousand. The trade was considerably lower. Rumbas
weighing 9 stone could again be bought for 3tl abilsags
each ; and best Lambs of full 5 atone each, be
brought for 21 shillings. Poor Lamb met a very dall
sale, though at very low prices. The trade for Beef
worse than it has been yet. Hest Wether Mutton at
Newgate Market, 2s. per stone.
Yontc.—Every market day, brings with it a redaction
in the prices of all kinds of grain at oar market; and
which we doubt not will continue to be the case, for
never had we such a prospect of an abundant harvest. If
therefore the " country gentlemen" intend to keep up
their high rents, in hopes that prices will ad.
ranee; or, if • wantonly extravagant Aslatioistrarion
ioteod to keep on the taxes, under the same idea,
they will soon see the fallacy of such expectations, At
our market on Safer.* last, tine 'staples of Wheat
wore dull at Is. per qr. lower, and inferior were unsale-
able. On IFethresday the 4,Purterly Leather Fair
was extremely slack, the ge prices were : —Crop
Hides, 19.1. to 22.1.; Light Dressing Hides, 204. to .14.1 ;
11411 Thick Hides, MI to 19J.; Calf Skins, 30.1. to 53.6
On I% at rrelo!r. th• Wool Ala.rket WAS so cautplortely
a
overstocked, that although great deal was sold,
yet inure remained unsold. There scarcely ever was
known so mach Wool so early as was tbeo shown. The
reasao was, the farmers having just shorn their sheep,
they most have cash fur the fleece. Boyers were far from
being numerous, and the best Hog Wool sold at about
Is. per stone lower than last week ; Hog and Ewe about
Is. 6.!. lower ; and inferior sorts at a still farther reduc-
tion in price. The show of beasts and sheep at the fort-
night fair on Thursday last was very small. Pat beasts
sold at 4s. to 6s. and inferior beasts 3s. 63. to 4s. per
stone, of 141bs. Sheep sold at IL to 411. per lb. Of
Lambs there was a pretty gooJ supply, which sold at
61 per lb.

COMMERCE BETWEEN EUROPE AND CRINA,

PORTtIeS TRAVELS IN PERSIA.

On a fair examination of tl:e advantages derived to
both countries (Russia and Persia) by the consmer•
vial intercourse between them, the balance on St-
CUUUt of pecuniary profit certainly lies on the side of
the former. brought into that empire by the imperial
marts of Tiflis and Astrachan. Iles.dea this leading
step, avenues for extending the commerce of Runia
on this or her great Asiatic frontier, seem to he daily
opening, by new facilities presenting themselves for
transporting merchandise from the shores of the Cas-
pian, into the heart of her territories. Ercellent roads
are constructing from the point where the Kur ceases
to be navigable; and tinre the goods which have
come up (rout the Caspian, will be disembarked, and
carried over land to 'finis; thence conveyed thrungh
lmeritia to the navigable port of the river )rides.
where adequate Is will receive and carry them down
to the newly-egablished port of Poti, oo the Soeth1:11-
tern coast of the Euaine. The passage then to )Moss.
and otherdepots of the Emperor, is direct; and 1 .eel
not expatiate on the ease with which thedifferent
met-
chaodise way be spread through various obvious rhsti•
nels all over Europe. Russia now commands the n &deaf
the North, and the greatest part of the {Fester shore
of the Caspian ; and by the judicious management of
the Governor General of Georgia, rho, within these
few months, has entered iota a tr. air of novenal se-
c omuudation with the Chiefs of the Turecwaa
'Tribes po ing the Eastern shores of the Caspian.
the iumea il caravans, from China, Sce. may tind a
comparatively short road, and the mouths of the Ker,
almost parallel with the new acquirements, be the
channels of conveyance to the North.
