VIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET,
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREwITH
For The Week ending last euenlng.

REMARKS.-Since our last publication we have
received weeks later advices from Europe, by the
British steamer Acadia, at Boston. In a commercial
point of view the accounts are not important, but
taken in connection with the revolutionary spirit
which pcrvades Eng land and more particularly Ire
land, they of the most absorbing interest Paris
is relatively quet)-and probably ere this some
dreadful sanguinary demonstration has been made by
collision Of the English and Irish belhgerents.
The columns of our paper furnish this morning selec
lions from English papers, showing the state OF at
fairs when the Acadia left; and we would remark,
that when the British government finds IT necessary
TO organize such a police and constabuary force,
and call upon the army and navy to locate themselves
certain points, it is not unimportant antagonist,
in British estimation, that requires this concentration
of forces to vanquish.
Our market has been but little affected by the
Acadia's news. Corn and Meal only have thereby
improved $1,000
as yet are confined exclusively to the Commission
Houses, and their operations on very moderate
scale. The public sales recently in New York, but
mostly of Wooden Fabrics, have been large and well
attended, and better prices IN some instances, say ten
to twenty five per obtained, than were antic
pated; while Fancy and Black Cassimeres, Tweeds
and Docskins Of the Burlington Wooden Company S
manu- acture, went off at decline of five TO ten per
cent. on the prices current last spring.
BEESWAX.-Thc stock in market continues
very light, and small sales only making, and the
few buyers not paying over y cts: per d. cash
BREAD-The business done i'll Pilot and Navy
Biscuit continues to fair extent, but prices have
declined half cent per lb, and we reduce our quo
tations accordingly, viz: Water Crackers, 5; Pilot

moderate demand for export, but principally Mould
Tallow to the West Indies.

FEATHERS. There have been enquiries
making, but no sales oil moment that we are advised
FISH-Thc market is without change, and rather
dull. No Mackerel may be quoted la S4.2o per
brl. Other descriptions quiet.
FLOUR AND MEAL.--The late news by the
steamer Acadia has not influenced Tins market nuch
we think-possiby prices may have stitched a ihtle;
but is owing the falling oil in the receipts OF How
ard street that caused their Improvement within the
last day or two. The market Tor Howard street was
steady from carly 10 mid week at Isl the pre-
yious current rate and sales quite moderate not
ceeding probably 3O0O brls during the week; but
OH Thursday more irmness was manifested on the
part of holders and few hundred barrels OF select
brands sold at I.93ia$ per bril-; and yesterday the
latter was the prevailing price for fresh ground mix
ed lots The closing sales OF City Mills last week
were chiefly at s o. although some lew transactions
took place at S5.l25. This week, mlllers have gen
orally commended for the latter, though the former
has been in some instances accepted. The transac-
tons comprise some 5O0Od60OO brs. at 5d = II cash
