ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER
 HIBERNIA.
] Further Rise in BreadSturfS.


 By the arrival of the Hibernia at Boston, this mOruing, we have advices from Europe to the elothof May.
 ~. FROM ENGLISH PAPERS.
 si A fuFther and important advance has taken place in the article of Breadstuff's as we'll in thus cnuntry as at many of the near continental ports within the last fortnight. The doubt generally entertained whether enough will re- ach us from foreign countries to make up for the home deficiency has been the cause of the late advance, and we must admit that the Aahortness of these supplies from the growers, s the rapid d. intuition of the stocks in the gra- 5 naries at the different maratime ports, and the general tone of the advices from abroad, have afforded ample grounds for apprehension. 4& Wheat has, however, how reached 50 high a point as to put it beyond the reach of the poorer classes A greatly contracted com. sumPtion must therefore follow, and this may perhaps be the means of satisfying any further Immediate rise in the value. Since the 4ih Canadian sweet Flour has advanced 7-6d to g., per quarter and American Sd to 9-d.
 The latest accounts from the Continental marixefs show that much scarcity prevails in several ports, but as the navigation was opened up, large supplies were expected to come down the rivers in very short time, whereby &the wants ot the people of these countries would not only be supplied but that numer sus csrgaes would be transported to these king : doms.
 Very favorable accounts have been receiv ed z from Smyrna in relation to the supply of grain on hand. The new crop is all very promising American provision market keeps steady. Ba- cen has advanced frsm 2l 10 3l, siace our last quotations.
 The nancy market is less cramsed than at our last report. but money is still difficult te be obtained, except at high rates.
