      THE PRESS . { BY SLRS . XBDT ) Ob 1 tbe wondrous Press has a magic sway In its great and giant force , To lie East and West It bends its tray , a T » fi it takes o'er the seaa its coaise ; gay dazzlnig * torea may the good ship fiH , Is the pride of Tain excess . But it fcossts a tre&snre moro precious still , In the wealth of the might ; Press . Tbe son of genius , unsonght , unknown , May his heaven-born themes pnrsne , Their brightness gladdens himself alone , For his friends are far and few ; Bat sea in the ranis of fame he stands : Lo ; thousands his lay b possess , £ nd his name Ia fclszoned in distant lands Through the aid of the mighty Press .

      The poet ' s numbers , the scholar ' s lore , Cast theii radiant spell o ' er all ; Those strains are cooi > ed in the cottage poor That enchant the lordly hall ; And the book more hely than all beside , Which alone can trnly bless , To the heathen xhincs as a lamp and snide , By the power of the mighty Press , Alas ! thai a scene so bright , so dear , Saoold a dark reverse disclose , Ai » 3 ! that a boon so great , bo dear , Should be erer linked with woes ; Bot the lawless -doctrine of men profane , To tbe world their guile address , Proving to thousands a snare and bane , Thron ^ h the sway of the mighty Press .

      Tet the summer sky has its "W&try " d | 6 m , And the rose reveals a thorn , And eTil most ever mix with good In a race to evil born j We must bear the pangs of a thwarted will Where we fondly hoped success , We mnst sigh o ' er the mass ef social ill , Diffused by the mighty Press . Tet the light of faith let us humbly seek To illume our dangerous road , Let us deem all knowledge poor and weak That wonld lead onr hearts from &od ; Then may we welcome instruction ' s tide , As Uflsws our land , to bless , And greet Kith nnmingled joy and pride The gift of our glorious Press .

      CH 1 XA A 2 sD INDIA . { From the Times . ) The monthly express from Marseilles has brought , in suticpstion of the Overland Mail , letters and papers from Bombay to the 3 d of February . The intelligence which they communicate is of the huhest importance , and in particular that relating to C = ina-Oa the 223 of Xovembee , Sir Henry Poitinger published a "proclamation , declaring that be had . since his arrival at Aissy , learned with extreme horror and astonishment that many more than one hundred British subjects , who had been wrecked in the ship

      Nerfcadda and bng Ann in September , 18 J 1 , and March , 1542 , on the coasi of the island of Formosa , had been recently pat to death by the Chinese authorities there , wio alleged that this cold-blooded act > " »^ been perpetrated by order of the Emperor . This proclamation goes on to describe the atrocity of this sanguinary and inhuman crime , and concludes with gtatntg that the British Plenipotentiary was resolved to ^ demand from tbe Em peror that de local authorities -who , by false representations , had led to the commission of the enormity , should be degraded and eanSignly punished , and that their property should he confiscated , and the proceeds handed over to the cEeers of the British Government for the relief and

      jnpport of the families of those who had been thus merdlBssty put to death , A threat ol renewal of hosfHilipa was held imt in case tiie < Ien « aiHl should not be Complied with . 11 "Was . however , snpposad that ths impfiKJr wonld not itfass eompliaa . ee . Onihe 7 ih of I > 3 ceznber a formidable riot broke out in the neighbourhood of Canlon , which soon extended itself to the foreign factories . The immediate canse is stated to be the irregular conduct of tba crew of some ships , and in particular cf that of the Fort William , who were allowed to go asbore in numbers without any proper officer to control them . The mob had , it is said , been cscited previously by certain anti-British partisans ; they soon quiitted the sailors , who had ij retreating from the original placa of combat lei them towards the

      factories . The first gr = at object of attack was the British factory ; they burned the flagstaff and ^ thefLig , snd soon afterwards the windows and doors of the buDdings were forced open , tbe mob entered , and the iroik of pillage commenced . Fire was then set to the edifies , "which was coasnHied . luckily , the steamer Proserpine , hsving en l » srd Sir Hugh Gongh , arrived * Canton , ana tlie noting ceased . The merchants at { karoo , who remained there vraul tbe 14 th , and also T 8 h Sir Henry Pottinger , who was at Hongkong , requesting the latter to -order a protective force to besent to Caatcn , in order ttat they might carry on their commerce in security . Tils application received a decided

      refusal from Sir H . Pottinser , who , in Ms reply , made same severe comments on the conduct at the merchants . Tbe latter ^ hen made a replication in their defence . AH tha correspondence has been remitted to the British fiorernment Sir H . Pottinger . in his last letrer to the merchants , dated December 24 , states , that tbe Viceroy at Canton had , in reply to the letter addressed to him , declared his great anxiety , ss wall as his perfect ibility , to protect all foreigners ; and'bad also expressed Ms rraflrnefSB to repay such losses as might have been inenzred during the late riots , after they sho > jld htve been correctly ascertained and submitted tb rough her ilsiestys Government .

The difficulties in farming tbe commercial regulations would , it was feaj * rd , be Tery great , is const qutnee ol the Chinese being nfeely to demand a reciprocity ol duties on their goods -when imported into thg British territories . Mr . Thorn , the destined British Cossnl at Canton , was busy ther * in investigating the Gases of the riots .

      A Ghost Stout . —Snnderland ia in an uproar about a ghost . ' A young mariner of the Myrtle , near Cairus , saw his sister's ghost at sea , and again a few nights ago , in his vessel on tiae Wear . On ihe latter occasion she promised hiia a second vioit in a short time , when she would reveal something of imDortance . A rnmour went abroad that twelve o ' clock on Thursday night was ihe appointed hour , and long before that time upwards of A thousand persons were congregated near Suuderland churchyard , to cateh a glimpse of tho ghost as it wended its way from its own narrow bed to the bedside of the haunted sailor . But although they had the

      patience to remain at their pest until one o ' clock in the morning , in the midst of a delightful drizzle , their curiosity went unrewarded . Spirits , perhaps , are not exempt from the roguery of bodies , but take a malicious pleasure in tantalizing poor silly mortals ; or it may be true , as has fcaen gravely affirmed , that the public had mistaken , the night , and that the ghost had haunted the young man in his hammock in the night of Wednesday , and unfolded to him a tale of horror , which it forbade him to repeat to any living person , save and except her husband , who is now at sea . But why could not the gl . o » t iiself convey the story to the husband !

      Extraokdikart Marriage—The following has been communicated to us by a high / y respectable gentleman , and we shall not make further comment upon it , than to say , that the facts are anything but creditable ( to say the least ) to the parties concerned : On Wednesday week the daughter of a comfortable farmer living in the vicinity of Barne was to have been married to a young man to whom she had been engaged , and every thing was arranged for the interesting event . However , the firkle fair one changed her mind , and on ihe morning appointed for ihe wedding she eloped with her iaxher ' a servant >* oy , who , it appears , had more faveur in her sight . For some time all was consternation and surprise , but after a little reflection , the father and

      disappointed bridegroom determined that a wedding there should he by hook or crook , and it was not long until they selected the granddaughter of the former , a child un / . er twelve years of age ! The only thing now necessary for the consummation of the marriage was the preseice of his Reverenee , but soon that obstacle was removed , and he made his appearance in all due form ; his " fist was greased ' with a £ 10 note , and the little girl became a bride . The bridegroom gave the father £ 50 to live with him , and ihus termmaved an event which has caused feehiags of general disjmst amongst the respectable classes in the neighbourhood . We have since learned that the poor child has been sent to a school at some distance from the locality where this strange scne occurred . —Car lisle Journal .

He arrived safely on Wednesday morning at the Wapping station ; but , in removing him from the carriage , his immense weight completely forced out the bottom of his den , when tbe unwieldy beast , feeling Ma legs at liberty , bounded off at railway speed , and did not stop until the front of the oage came in contact with a barrel of ale that some brewers were loweriug into a cellar of Mr . Hill ' s vaults , in the vicinity of the Cusiom-honse , the head of which was satu

      completely staved in , and the heavy wet soon - rated tbe feet of the passers by . The collision broke the front of the cen , which admitted out the head and horns of the infuriated monster , who , wildly glaring and foaming at the mouth , seemed to be debating which of the draymen ( who were , In their endeavour to escape , falling helter-fbelter over each other , ) he should attack .

      EARTHQUAKE AT GUAJDALOUPE . We learn from the Paris papers that particula ? 9 had at last been received in France of the earthquake at Guada ! wipe , arid , we regret to say , that they are of a painful character . Tho damage of the property was enormous ; but that is nothing compared with the vast loss of human beings . We give tho melancholy details from the Government papers . The Messager gives tbe following aocount : — A new and cruel disaster has just fallen on one of our principal colonies . The earthquake of Feb . 8 ,

      whioo only caused partial disasters in several islands of the Antilles , has covered with mourning the grande terre of Guadaloupe , and the important town of Poime-a-Pitre no lpnger exists . We lay textually before our readers the report which the Governor-General Gourbeyre has addressed to the Minister of Marine from the scene of the disaster . Orders have just been sent by telegraph to Brest , ToHlon , and Rochefort for money , medicines , and a million of rations to be ssnt immediately fc >> Guadaloupe . The following ia the dispatch of the Governor General : —

      " Basse Terre , Feb . 8 , three o ' clock , p m . "An earthquake , which lasted seventy seconds , has just thrown the inhabitants of Guadaloupe into theutmost consternation . This event took place this morning at half-past ten o ' clock . At Eaase Terre several buildings have fallen down , and a number of houses are so injured as to be no longer inhabitable : fortunately , no life has been lost . At Satiates all the houses built of mason work have beeu overturned . The quarters to leeward have much suffered ; persons have been killed and wounded . I have this moment learned that PointeaPitre no longer exists . I am about to get on * horseback and proceed to the scene ot the disaster .

      " Pointeia-Pitre , Feb . 9 , three o ' clock . " Pointe-a-Pitre is entirely destroyed . What was spared by the earthquake has since perished by 6 re , which burst out a few minutes >* fnr the houses fell . I am writing in the midst of the ruins of this unfortunate city , in presence of a population without food and without asylum , in the midst of the wounded , of whom the number is considerable ( it is said irom 1 , 500 to 1 , 800 !) The dead are still under the ruins , and their number is calculated at several thousands . The fire is still raging . All the quarters of the colony have suffurd . Tne town of Moule has been destroyed , and thirty persons have lost their Iive 9 . The small towns of St . Francos , St . Anne , Port Louis , iiertrand , and

      St . Roso , have been overturned , and in all there are dead and wounded , i implore , in favour of the inhabitants of Guadaloupe , that inexhaustible Goodness which , from the throne , pours forth so many benefits ! I implore all France to Btretoh forth an aidiug hand to us , as the has already done to . Martinique . Sha will not abandon this population , entirely French , nor leave to wretchedness the widows and orphans whom thu terrible disaster has overwhelmed . I shall speedily sei » d you such details as I shall be able to collect . I fear that the sngar crop will be lost , for the mills are all destroyed . Famine stares us in the face ; prompt succour is absolutely ntceseary . Joinviilo has much suff . red : Petit-Bourg is destroyed . 11 Gourbeyre , Governor . "

      The Messager adds— By a happy circumstance the soldiers ol the garrison of Pointe-a Pitro had time to evacuate their quarters , and we have only to deplore the loss of three of them . Martinique only felt the earthquake slightly . Wo hear of no victims or of any important damage . " The Moniteur Parisien says— " The calamity was increased by the occurrence of a vast fire . l \ vo thousand bodies are said to have been dug out of the ruins , and it was reckoned that there was ah equal number of wounded . At the moment when the account left , five hundred persons had uudcrgoue amputation , and died after the operation . ' *' The Paine states that most of the houses , and more than fifty sugar establishments , were destroyed . The Commerce has a letter from Martinique , dated the 14 th ult ., from which we take the following extracts : —

      On the 8 th , tbe day of tbe catastrophe which reduced Pointe- ^ -Pitre to a heap of ruins and ashea , I was going towards tho Savannah , about twenty minutes past tea o ' clock , in order to reach th « palace , when I heard cries of distress issuing from every sMe of me . The people rushed from their houses , the women carrying their children in their arms—all hurrying to the open promenade . I then felt the earth tremble under my feet , and began- to hasten my own steps . The shocks continued with inoreased violence for nearly two minutes ; but , fortunately , there was no vertical movement , which would have inevitably thrown down our houses as in 183 & . We soon ascertained that our town remained uninjured , but the old aad experienced inhabitants

      soon decided that what they felt was only , the tail of an earthquake , and that we should shortly hear of some great disaster at one or more of the noighooining islands . This terrifying prediction was awfully verified on the 9 th by tetters from Basse Terre , which mado us acquainted with the total destruction of the finest city of the Antilles . Our Governor and Admiral De Moges proceeded to take measures for the relief oi' the auff ; rins ; inhabitants of Pt > nte-a-Pitre . The Admiral , on the sam-j day , sailed for Guadaloupe , followed by tho steaai'frigate Gomer , sent by the Governor . They took with them linen , mediciuos , provisions , and stores of all kinds , and several surgeons . The inhabitants of St . Pierre dispatohed them a largo

      collection of similar supplies aud mouoy . The first d > ' rsoa who has arrived at Fort Royal from the afflicted island is an old retired captain , aged 7 ' 2 , who escaped as by a miracle . He was buried in the ruins , and there remained for more than an hour . He states that , at the moment after the shock , tires broke out and consumed much : that it had spared . Ia this additional calamity the hospital was included ; such of the patients as were able ' also made their escape , but many were burnt alive in the building . No calculation can yet be made of the number of the killed , but it is estimated at one-third of the population . Among the killed are two distinguished advocates . M . Borne de Grand Pre and M . Cafdose ; M . Grtffier , the avoue ; two notaries ; the wife and

      seven children of Captain Nadau des Hots , of tho Sappeurs , and superintend ant of bridges and roads at Point-a-Patre ; M . Devjlle , senior , formerly member of the Colonial Council , MM . Margan and O'Ogremont , and M . Noirtin and his family , composed of twelve persons . M . Foignet , Procureur du Roi , has one of his legs "broken , and M .. Farinole , Counsellor of the Court Royale , has a contusion of the ihiyh so severe as to create apprehension that it is fractured . The ? o two am the only magistrates of Guadaloupe who have suffered , and happily not one wa ^ killed . ' Taebest built and consequently tho richest quarter of the town has suffered jmost , and it is said that tho elite of the inhabitants have perished . Wo are told that at the moment of the

      earthquake , upwards of 200 ppople were assembled at the Cafe American , to witness the drawing of a lottery for a small vessel , aud none escaped . Of the detachment of the 1 st Regiment of Marines quartered at Foint-a-Petre , only tour ma » were killed , and one of the captains was slightly wounded . Some wretches took advantage of the dire confusion to plunder . At first they wure said to be negroes , led on by a man of colour ; but this , it has since appeared , was an error , and that the unfeeling robbers were all sailors—some say Americans , headed by their captain , all of whom have been arrested and confined in tho hold of some ship . I have just learned tho return of the Gomer , which the Governor is on tbe point of sending to Fiance . On her arrival

      at Pointa-Pftre , the steam Frigate found the town almost entirely evacuated , and no one of authority to receive the provisions and money she had brought from Martinique . She carried 160 wounded to Basse-Terre , where they received all the aid their condition required . It was found necessary to amputate b ^ tii the l egs of one lady , an operation which she boro with truly Christian fortitude , and she will , it is hoped , recover . When the frigate left the island , Polub-a-Pitre was still burning . A great number of bodies had been got out of the ruins , aud carried by a schooner into the channel of the Saintes where they received a watery grave . The site of the town had become pestilential , and every one fled from it . "

      The following are extracts from letters in the Press : — " Pointe-a-Pitre , Feb . 9 . " Basse Terre has suffered bu £ little , and although a number of houses are uuinhabiiable , all remain standing and no person has been injured ; but at Pointe-a-Pitre all was overturned , except the wooden house * . I mined lately after the shock tires broka out in 200 or 300 places together , and totally consumed the houses . At present the flames are playing over the remains , and in t , he whole of the town , which contained 16 , 000 souls , there are not ten houses inhabitable . No description can give an idea of this disaster . We can scarcely credit what we see before our eyes . I left Basse-Terre with the Governor yesterday , a few hours after the accident , and came here . We are about to set out foi Moule , which has , alas ! been destroyed . The number of victims

      is considerable , but much smaller than could have bfen expected . Only one soldier has perished . There are under tho ruins a number of dead bodies , which are being gradually taken out , and the presence of which causes great uneasiness , on account of the corruption that must speedily take place . M . L'Haridon , a medical man , who lately arrived , perished in the ruin ?; his family was saved . M . Nadan , officer of engiuf era , has lott eighteen of his household , thirteen . ' oeing relatives and five slaves . He succceeded in saving one of bis children . The number of woun ded is exceedingly great . Women and ycung girl ? may be seen with two and three Iiiab 3 fractured . The scene is a hundred times more horrible thaii a field of battle . Most of the sugar-mills are destroyed , and the crop of sugar-canes will be ost , Tne Governor is admirable in the midst of all Ilia ufllicted population . "

      ¦¦ ' . - . ^ . ^ jyi Another letter of the same date says : — "Pointe-a-Pitre no longer exists ; what was spared by ihe earthquake has been destroyed by the flirues . I' is said thuc there are , two thousand victim * at least . Marky and Sainte-Rose are two resiliences belonging to Count de Chazvlles , delegate oi Guadaloupe ; the former is level with the ground , not the smallest particle of mason-work being left Standing . At the latter the mill is totally destroyed , and the sugar buildisgs , though standing , are in & ruinous and dangerous state . U 4 fortuna » ely , all accounts represent the other habitations , at Cic % Etang , Moulin-a-Yent , everywhere , jin fact , to bo in a similiar condition . In the ceminune of Sainte-Ann , the mills at Chateauprun , Ghissac , and Beis-Jolan , are the only on * s left standing . " Another letter , of February 11 , says : —

      "At Pointe-a-Pitre the number of the dead is so great that no interment takes place . They are thrown outside the passes , and the number is unknown . In several places the earth opened , and threw up water and sand . The hour at which the disaster occurred , although less fatal ; than that of the similar calami y at Martinique ( six in the morning ) , nevertheless considerably augmented the loss of lite , for it surprised the population at jbreakfast . The shook must have beeu of exceeding violence , for the mills , which were actual towers , with walls of mason work six or seven t ' eet thick , wera completely levelled with the ground . Guadaloupe , which is divided into two islands , separated by an arm of the sea some metres wide , and a few feet deep , s range

      enough ! only suffered in the flat parts . Tne mountainous and volcanic regions have ! no serious disaster to deplore . Thus the towns which have been destroyed are situated in the Grand-Terre , which is the low flat part of the colony . On the contrary , Guadaloupe , properly so called , which contains Basse-Terre , the seat of government , has only s'ightly suffered , although its soil is placed over lava , and it holds in its centre the Soufriere , an ever-burning volcano . A mixture of mud and water was , it may oe remarked , thrown out of the earth in some places . The Soufriere , in its last eruption , also threw out a vast quantity of water and mud , and at

      the present minute is sending forth steam in abundance . The loss of property , particularly at Poiutea-Pitre , must bo immense . It will fall principally on the merchants . The country parts will no doubt be severely visited , since a grest number of mills and othejt buildings—very expensive matters in the Antilles—have been destroyed ; , but the loss of building , and ao interruption of business , cannot be compared to the destruction of a town eoutaining 15 , 000 souls , where an immense qfiautity of merchandise was consumed . Nevertheless , those acquainted with Guadaloupe , and its elements of wealth , outjht not to despair . "'

      Leed ^ Cloth Market , Tuesday , March I 4 th . —The last two market days have been again of a very dull cast . Not much business was done on either Saturday or Tuesday ; in face , very little cloth was taktm out of the Halls except by " hawking " manufacturers , and these are doing * business on the worst terms possible , both for ithemselves and others . HUDDERSFIELD ClOTH MARKET , TUESDAY , MaKCH 14 th . —Our market has been of a heavy description again . Light goods continue to bp in request but not to any great extent . It being the second Tuesday , cloth was generally looked for , ; a sight not generally obtained . The market was not an improvement upon the last .

      Liverpool Ca »» Market , Monday , March 13 . —A change of wmd in the early part of the week brought up a numerous fleet of vessels , and the arrivals of British Grain , & « . contain 3987 , qta of Wheat , 6084 qrs of Oats , & > 72 qrs ) of Barley , 6237 qrs of Malt , 10 , 115 sacks of Flour , and 23 , 759 loads of Oatmeal , coastwise and from Ireland . We have also to report from abroad 975 qrfl of Wheat ( from Wolgast ) , 1100 qra of Oats , and g 00 qrs of Beans . Inactivity and tendency towards lower prices have continued to be the prevailing characteristics of the Corn trade . Wheat generally must be noted 2 d t > er bushel cheaper than at the © lose of last week ,

      7 s 5 d having yesterdav been taken for the newlyarrived Wolgast , and 63 51 per 70 lbs for finn Polish Odessa . The increased quantity of sack Flour on the market has reduced its value'by 2 n per sack ; and this description having drawn the chief attention of the dealers , foreign has been almost neglected . Tha b ^ a ' , Irish mealing Oats have bfifn fold at 2 s . 4 Ai ., good runs at 2 s . 4 d . per 4 Sibs . 20- * . 3 J . per load " is a top quotation for Oatmeal , at which a few parcels have changed hands . The better supply of Barley has rendered purchases easy to effect ; 32 s to 33 s per quarter are now top quotations for English Chevalier . For Beans and Peas we have had the merest retail demand at

      previous rates . Liverpool Cattle Markft , Monday , March 13 . —The supply of Cattle at market Uo day has been much the same as last week , with ! a little advance in price . We have had 75 Bullocks from Spain , the greatest portion of vcty inferior quality . Beef 5 d . to 6 d ., Mutton 5 d . to 5 | d . per lb . Number of Cattle at market -Beasts 821 , Sheep 2578 . Manchester Corn Market . —Saturday , March 11 . —A steady consumptive demand has been experienced throughout the week for good and middling qualities of Flour , and choice cuts of Oatmeal , the trade , however , limiting their purohaoes to quantities suitable for present use ; and to effect sales

      lower prioes were submitted to . With a change of wind the arrivals coastwise and from Ireland are large ; the supplies of Flour from the interior kept pace with the demand ; but there is no accumulation of stock in first hands . At our market this morning there was very little inquiry fori Whea . % and we nominally repeat the quotations' of this day se ' nnight . Excepting choice superfine whites , the scarcity of which enables factors to obtain 37 s . lo 384 . per 2801 ba ., the value of FlouK was not supported , and the business done was at a decline of ( Jd to Is per sack . Oatmeal must likewise be noted 6 d per load lower . Oats and Beans were slow of sale , but we make no change in the currency for the finest qualities of either article .

      State of Tkadr . —Tho mercantile accounts from India and China , though somewhat chequered in their character , are on the whole , considered favourable ; and they had the effect of giving additional firmness to the market for manufactured goods yesterday ; many of the manufacturers of wide cloths declining to take orders at the rates of last week ; but no great amount of busineps was done . The yarn market was also , on the whole , rather firmer than last week , and a somewhat larger business was done , though without any improvement in prices . — Manchester Guardian of Wednesday .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , March 13 th . —The stands being heavily supplied , and the attendance of dealers ( most of whom purchased with extreme caution ) by no means large , the demand for English Wheat was exces .-ively slow , at an abatement in the figures of Monday last of from Is to 2 s per qv . Foreign Wheat was Is per qr . lower . Best malting Barley at full quotations , but grinding and distilling sorts hung heavily on hand . Malt quite as dear . In most instances holders of Oats were compelled to give way 6 d to Is per qr : Beans and Peas the turn cheaper . The same observation may be applied to Flour . ' : Lowdon Smithfield Cattle [ Market , March 13 th . —Notwithstanding the attendance of both London and country buyers was rather numerous the

      beef trade ruled excessively heavy , and the prices declined , on those noted on this day se ' nnight , quite 2 d per 81 bs . Sheep wore abundant , and though currpneies suffered an abatementfrom those obtained on Monday last , of 2 d per 8 lbs , nearly 400 Kents , out of their wool , were on sale , but the demand for them was heavy . The inquiry tor Lamb was in a dull state , at from 4 s 4 d to 5 s 3 d per 8 lbs . Of calves , their value was almost nominal . Potkers , were a mere drug , and the turn cheaper . The imports of stock from abroad , since our last report ^ have consisted of 8 oxen in the port of London , ja , nd G oxen and 2-horns , at Hull , all from Hamburgh . The former were on sale to-day , but were taken out of the market , for the purpose of being strengthened . The condition of these animals was not to say good .

      Borough and Sktalfields . —There has been a fair arrival of potatoes in pool since our last report . For the best samples we have ai steady inquiry at full quotations , but the middling ' and inferior qualities go off slowly . Wool Markets . —The stock of both British and Foreign Wools being still large , the demand rules very dull , at barely stationary priceB . Borough Hop Mabket . —We continue to be very moderately supplied with most kinds of Hops , yet the inquiry for them rules inactive , at prices barely equal to those noted on this day se ' nnight .

      Tallow . —In the early part of last week , the price of Y . C . on the spot was firm at 43 s . 3 d ., and the demand was very fair for the time of tbe year , as will be seen by the delivery . On Friday evening , one of the holders showed a determination to realise , and hence arises our quotations of this morning : if holders generally evince this disposition , it is impossible for us to say when the decline may stop .
