LIVERPOOL PRoyIsoN MAEKEr, May 49,
The market for American Provisions keeps
steady. and as there is little or nothing of this
description OF goods arriving from Ireland,
the impor,ations from the United States IN
most instances meet ready sale. The value
OF Beer, Pork, and Hams is much the same as
last noted. Bacon. however, IN consequence
OF the scarcity Of supplies. particularly OF fresh
meat. which ranges from I'd to Cd. per pound,
has an excellent demand and the rates now
current are from two to three shilngs above
those last noted.
The arrivals during the past fortnight have
been of limited character Prices have con
sequen,ly advanced Que shilling per cwt.-
The p.ices now attainable vary from 42s. to
55s per cwt. according to the quality There
has been decline of two 10 three shillings per
cwt in American Tallow since the 4lh in
slant, that article is now a,44s. 10 46s. per
cwt. At present there is no American Butter
in the market.
LONDON Money MAaxEr.-The Bullion
has increased TO the extent OF a quarter OF
million. These favorable circumstances have
enabled the Bank 10 Discount more freely,
even on bills that have had as much as three
months to run. Advances were made to
bankers at five and a half per centum on pro-
mscuous paper. The favorable state of the
American Exchanges has had a beneficial eff
feet on the market. The consol market, ney-
ertheess, has been marked throughout by gen.
eral heaviness The position O. affairs is now
ths:--thc extreme pressure is gone, butmoney
still remains extremely scarce and dear for the
profitable prosecution Of business. Our quo

Than the closing prices of the last steamer
must be understood TO be one to Two per cent
higher than the lowest prices during the inter
val. Then the present amount Of bullion held
by the establishment is estimated by very
competent judges to be ten millions, whilst
the reserve of the bank notes is nearly four
millions. The market Today is steady with
little doing
FRANcE.-lt was stated tn the Chamber OF
Peers on the 10th inst, by the Minister OF
Commerce and Agriculture that the prospects
of the next harvest We're extremely promis-
ing; notwithstanding this prospect the mar
kets continued 10 rise in various parts OF
France.

MEXICAN PRIvArEER.--A Barcelona dase
OF the Sd May states that the Mexican prlva-
teer Unico, of Vera Cruz, carrying one gun
and 50 men, had captured in the waters Of
Africa, and brought into Barcelona the Amer
lcan ship Carmelita, 1870 tons, Capt. Edwin
Lttlefeld, from Ponce, p r. with cargo of
coffee, bound TO Trieste.
The above report of the capture Of an a.
inerlcan vessel by Mexican prvateer is like
ly &c be true, as there is an American vessel
OF that name. The harque Carmeli,a, Capt.
Lli:ield, of Portland, Maine, sailed from
Port Rico the latter end Of March, for Europe,
and IS no doubt the vessel alluded to. l--BaA
