By these ar rivals our advices are from Bombay to May i, Caleutts April 22, Madras April 24, and China March 30, There is not any news of importance by either of these mails. ‘The following.is a brief summary of all that ix worthy of notice :— The time mentioned as fixed for Lord Hardinge’s de- parture from the interior is October. Politically, the ‘unjaub continues in nearly the same state of tranquil lity as it has remained for some time past.

Fashions for June. Moire and shot taffetas, poults de soie of plain colors, lilac, écru, and checks, are fashionable for walking dresses; and flounces or ruches, pinked in crete de coy, are used for all silk materials; others are in deep van- dykes edged with gimp, and for bari ges with a testov; white tucks are also worn on ba: , relieved by heading of giwp. For the pardessus fancy alone deter- mines the color,—it can scarcely be said which prevails; for the morning, green, orange, and violet glace, with black; for the evening, white, pink, and mauve. Black laee in protusion, or rich gimpa, ornament morning dresses; and point lace, with silk embroidery, for the evening. Sleeves, with 'a few exceptions, remain un- ebanged; for silks, in thinner materials, they are wide amd put’ into a wristband, closing half-way up the arm, with uoder one of muslin; the corsage full also tou bend, with ceinture of ribbon and long ends. Printed tarlatanes are worn over siik skirts; the corsage high and full on the shouiters, forming draperie. Plaids and checks are mostly confined to morning dresses, but cht atines are still used in dress in pale colors, with single flounce and very deep heading, giving the effect of ® second skirt. Gimp buttons have quite replaced those imitating stones, &o. The broad catalan fringe is very pretty op silk to replace the flounce; and ribbon is very mucii used in every possible way that it can be in troduced. ‘Two very deep flounces, or three, five, and even nine are rometimes used on robes of taffetas glace commencing at the waist, and give great roundness to the skirt. Some plain barges have bouillons to the knee.

Bre uneasiness on this seore was greatly heightened by the exhausted state of the stocks in granary, by the belief that the quantity in the hands of the growers was likewise very short, and by the daily exports on an extensive scale from this country to Frauce and other continental States. There was. consequently, nothing extraordinary in the rapid rise which occurred in prices; indeed, for several weeks in succession the supplies proved inade- quate to meet tho home and foreign demand, and holders Were enabled to obtain almost auy price they chose to ask. At first the beneficial change which took place in the weather produced little or no effect, but the wonder- ful improvemeut which was gradually be! worked in the growing crops soon began to operate, and in districts where scarcely any corn was before supposed to be left, the supplies increased, at the same time arrivals from the Baltic began to drop in at several of the principal maritime ports, whilst buyers contracted their operations in proportion as sellers mauifested anxiety to realize, un- til business has come to a complete stand, Having ar- rived at this point, it may perhaps not be amias to ex- amine @ little into the real state of the case, and endeay- or to ascertain in how far our position is actually chang- od for the better, The chief, if not the only alterationin cur favor, appears to us to be that the harvest, which threatened .o be a very late one, may now be reasonably calculated to commence as early as in average years, whilst there is nothing about the aspect of the crops to give rise to any fear as to the probable yield. ‘This is certainly an immense point gained, as we are likely to have the new crop ready for consumption three weeks carlicr than was supposed would be the case, which will makg @ great difference in the quantity required to be topieten ‘The cessation of exportation to thecontinent has, besides, done away with an extra drain on our stocks, and the reaction in price thus far appears, therefore, war- ranted by circumstances. There is, however, some danger ‘hat the fall may continue too long. We say danger, for im that case the demand from foreign countries wonld probably revive; and if prices here were to recede velow the level of the continental countries where scarcity prevails, a portion of the supply originali: intended for Great Britain would be sure to be di- verted from us to those States; which might prove 4 serious inconvenience, in case serene unto- ward should oceur to render the harvest less favorable than is now expected. The fall in the value of wheat from the highest point, taking one market with the other, cannot be estimated at less than los per quarter up to this time (Saturday. 29th of \.ay); and there is every appearance of prices going considerably lower; but when once the lowest point shall have been reac! w likely to have an extensive demand, The millers, deal- ers and bakers are working up their stocks without making any purchases ; and this they will probably con- tinue to do so long as they have anything left. So soon, however, as they have exhausted what they have on hand they must again come into the markets; by that time sellers will probably have recovered some degree of con- fidence; and if in the interval the weather should be- come at all doubtful, a portion of the decline would speedily be recovered Prices of all kinds of — and pulse bave been affected by the reduction which has taken placein wheat; and this will, toa certain extent, continue to be the case so long as the latter article re- codes, ‘The advices from Scotland do not speak so favorably of the weather as might have been expected, but in lre- land plentiful showers, with a bigh temperature, appear to have been experienced; under the influence of which the crops have been forced rapidly forward, ‘The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have not neen large this week, the total quantity received up to this (Saturday) evening amounting to only 3,475 quar- rs, which, compared with the supply of the preceding week, shows afalling off. Tho display at Mark-lane by lund-carriage samples from the home counties has also en moderate; the town millers having, however, come (o the determination of not buying whilst they have any ~tocks, the trade has been miserably dull, with a deciaed townward tendency in prices. On Wednesday scarcely a bargain was closed, in which position of affairs it became almost impossible to quote prices; but had purchasers come forward they might have bought at 2s, to 3s, per quarter lower. On Friday it would have been necessary io have made a further concession of 2s. to 38. per quar- ier to have effected sales; aud this factors were not in- lisposed to do, but 80 averse were the millers to act that hardly a transaction took place. Of foreign wheat we have again to report a fair arrival, viz. 20.952 quarters; and » portion of the previously received supply having remained unsold there is now rather a large quantity at this port on board abtp. Importers are satay. @ux- ious to avoid incurring landing expenses if possible, and have consequently manifested some anxiety to realize; but the country demand having suddenly ceased it has become impossible to sell largely even at considerably reduced rates. In this state of affairs a part, if not the whole, of what has lately been received will have to be taken to granary, and when this has once been done there is likely to be less pressure on the market. After our last Monday’s report was written, the town millers determined to lower the top price of flour from $58, to 808. per sack, and they have been freely offering their best marks this week at the latter rate, without being enabled to induce the bakers to buy. Ship sam- ples have also been very difficult of dis , and Norfolk households have in many cases been offered 5s. to 68. per sack below the extreme rates of the preceding week. American flour has been wholly neglected ; and the de- cline in the price of the latter bas been fully as great us on that of home manufacture. The quantity of English barley brought forward has been smail, and the receipts from abroad only moderate. ‘The reduction in wheat and flour has, however, had the effect of lessening the inquiry for all other kinds of grain, and barley has not failed to feel the influence The trifling business done has been at terms decidedly below those of Monday last; and the difficulty expc- rienced in making sales was greater at the close than earlier in the week. ‘The operations in malt have been on a begthy b retail stale, and the turn has been greatly in favor of the pur- chaser. ‘The market has been very sparingly supplied with oats of home growth; frem our own coast only 381 quarters, from Scotland $30 quarters, and from Ireland 1,244 quar- ters, having come to hand. Having, however, received 21,335 quarters from abroad, no scarcity has been expe- rienced. Neither on Wednesday nor Priday were any purchases of importance made by buyers from the coun- try, and the local demand being very restricted, the trade was languid in the extreme, Under these cireum- stances, accurate quotations cannot be given, for whilst ueedy buyers had to pay neacly former rates for the small quantity they required, it is certain thrt prices 1s. per coe lower must have been taken to have sold largely. Beaus and pease have met with very little attention; and with trifling stocks and small supplies the value of these articles has tended downwards. ‘The inquiry for Indian corn has fallen off very con- siderably; and though sellers have manifested a disposi- tion to meet buyers by taking,less money, they have been unable to make much progress. The effect of the late decline in the value of wheat in the British markets on quotations on the continent can, of course, not as yet be known; but the general tone of the advices from the near ports is somewhat subdued in consequence of a similar alteration in the weather to that experienced here. At Danzig, however, prices were apparently still on the advance on the 22d inst. The supplies down the Vistula had been small, and a good many orders having been received to buy, high-mixed wheat, of 62 lbs. weight per bushel, had realized equal to 35s. 6d. per quarter. showing a rise on the rates of that day se’nnight of about 8s. per quarter. The arrivals from the Bug, the Vistula, and Lower Poland ther, would, it was estimated, amount to about 120,000 quar- tera by the end of June At Konigsberg, on the 22d inst., business was quite at a stand for wantof supplies, and very high prices were asked for the trifling stocks in granary. From Rostock we have no advices this week; but a let- ter from Stettin of th + 24th of May informs us that hold- ers of wheat were then asking equal to 90s per quarter, free on bourd, for qualities weighing only 69 Ib per bush- cl. Rye had been, and still continued, in great request for the interior, and prices corresponding with 72s per quarter had been paid for the article. The transactions in wheat had not been of much importance, owing, in the first place, to the scanty nature of the stock, and fur- ther, to the extreme high prices asked. The weather had been cold for the season; still there were no com- plaints of the appearance of the growing crops. At Hamburg much less effect appears to have been produced on the market by the dull English accounts the complete exhaustion of the stocks on the spot, and the continued demand irom the interior having given confidence to the sellers. The firmness of the latter bad been further increased by the news from Sweden, stat- ing that the government had determined to prohibit the export of all kinds of grain except wheat. Buyers had generally acted with much caution, but their wants being preesing 94s to 958 per quarter had been paid for wheat in retail, and equally high rates for rye, barley, and oats. In the French markets no very marked alteration ap- pears to have occurred in quotations. At Paris, on Thurs- day, the wheat trade was quiet, but there was no decline. ‘The accounts from Havre are of a similar character; and the only thing worthy of notice in the intelligence from the latter place is, thut there were still buyers of flour, for delivery in June, at high prices, which would appear to indicate that public opinion continued in favor of a rise during the summer months, At Marseilles, on the 2ist of May, holders of wheat were rather anxious to realize. Polish Odessa on the spot was worth only 638. per quarter, and for delivery in June, 538 per quarter. From Leghorn our advices are of the 19th of May; the wheat trade was then decidedly dull, and Egyptian was obtainable at about 36s to 37s per quarter, Marianopoli and other good qualities, on the spot, were held at equal to 648. to 68a per quarter free on board, but there were sellers for June delivery 8 to 60s, or for delivery in July at 568 to 58s per quarter. Advices from .St. Petersburgh, received this morning indieate henceforth a supply of grain to the south of Europe which will be regulate 1 omly by the number of versels, In the St. Petersburgh market alone the pur- chases for exportation bod to the present time amount to no less than 2,000,000 chetwerts; ‘but,’ it is observed, © the riddle is how is it to be shipped?” The navigation is now established, the Favourite, from London, and the Rob Roy, from Hull, (both steamers) having been among the first arrivals. The grain market continues extrem: ly active, and hemp and tallow are without alteratior Exchange was a shade flatter, the quotation being 38- 11-16d to 38%d. A statement just received from Russia, of the amount of various kinds of grain brought from the interior this ear to Rybinsk, a large depot on the right bank of the Volga, preparatory to the opening of the navigation, gives, on the whol striking indication of increased supplies as compared with 1846.

From the nort! end south both of England und Ireland, there are this week accounts of the potato plants being blighted. In this locality they are as fine as they can be. Whether the foregoing deserves much credence at present is seme- what doubtful, there being so many parties interested in importing breadstuffs, and the report may be raised to neutralize the report of 1100 grain laden vessels, chief- ly for England, having last week passed Gibraltar. A ll of 20s per quarter in wheat has occurred since 16th nd in corn and flour have varied in price rable. This day’s quotations are for sour flour 88; Baltimore and ‘Philadelphia 41s a 438; West. ern Canal 438 a 448 ; Indian corn 52s & 578 per 480 lbs. fine white American wheat per 70 1b, 128 9d; mixed 1: 6d; red 128; Orleans 10s 6d alls; corn meal, 278 Gda Our stocks of wheat and flour are moderate, the demand being equal to the supply. Indian cora arrives freely, the demand ifnot so far excessive. The air is quite still, the barometar remaining uncommonly high, and sailing vessels can make but little progress. “There o tainly are very large quantities of breadstuffs due, pi bably equal to one million quarters of grain, and our corn markets are not unlikely to be influenced by the manner of their arrival, whether gradually coming in or suddenly. A large portion will be out of order, as very many Mediterranean cargoas have been already three months on the poate. It will be hasardous to ship breadstuffs expecting them two months hence, to realize present prices: at present there is a fine promise of abundance, both of grain, fruit. and grass as ever known, and more grain sown than usual. Financlal Affairs. Loxpox Monzy Manxet, June 2—Wednosday Evo- ning.—The English funds have undergone little varia- tion to-day, but the flatness which was noticed yesterday still continues, owing ap parently to the alteration in the character of the corn market, where # tendency to reac- tion from the late depression is observable.

The united temptations of beautiful weather and the racing at Ascot have had the effect of producing an almost entire cessation in bnsiness this morning. The attendance being very small on the Stock Exchange, the operations have been on the same scale.— Consols for the account are not quite so steady as they were, and the tendency to a decline which was exhibited at the close of yesterday’s market, has not been substi- tuted bya firmer tone.

Livenroo, June 8, 1847. Since the departure of the last mail, this country has been blessed with an uninterrupted continuance of the finest weather possible. We are happy to add that the same accounts arereeeived from the continent, and from all quarters the most favorable advices come daily to hand of the prospects of the growing crops, the ouly exception is that of the ‘potato—rumors having been current during the past two or three days of the reap- pearance of the blight in this root in some parte of Ire- land and of this country. We bope the extreme anxiety of all parties on this sensitive subject, has led to an er- ror in the propagation of this report, but it comes simul- taneously from so many quarters, it cannot be altoge- ther disregarded ; it is satisfactory to know, however, that from the diminished plant of the potato, and the greater breadth of land sown with other edible crops, the country is by no means so dependent upon the former as it has hitherto been Under the influenceof these fa- vorable accounts, trade has continued gradually to im- prove ; discounts have been of more casy attainment. ‘and confidence bas gained ground: at the same time great caution is manifested as to new or extended ope- rations, it being but too probable that in this varying climate the harvest will not be secured without such further alarm as again to create derangement and dis- trust im the money market. The improvement in cotton noticed in our last circular as having taken place during the preceding few days, hus since continued: our quotations on the 2st ult. were raised from those of the previous Friday % a \ per .; and during the following week, the improvement was more decided in every respect; holders offered their stocks sparingly, and at almost daily advancing prices the trade bought pretty freely, and the market clos steadily at an advauce of 4 a 3 per Ib, on previous quo- tations.

Liverroot Cotton Manxet, May 21.—The market this week has assumed a more regular and steady aspect, and the demand, though not very active, has been sufli- cient to absorb the quantity for immediate sale and to in- duce more confidence amongst our holders ; the pressure being greatly removed, prices have recovered, American desoription of fair quality to-day being placed \d high- er than on Friday last, the advance being irregular, say 4.434, according to quality ; other descriptions are without change, but more steady than before. Specula- ters have taken 1850 bales of American, and exporters 6470 bales of American, 500 Surat, and 600 Pernams. The sales to-day are about 4000 bales of all kinds. WM. CLARE & SONS. May 28.—We have had a more active demand this wetk, and there has been a progressive advance in the price of American descriptions, which are to-day, by the official declaration of the Brokers’ Association, placed 3¢ a 34 higher than on Friday last for fair quality. Surats are 34 8 dearer, and Pernams, owing to the operations for export, are 34 ‘higher; other Brazile, though somewhat dearer, on the whole, have gone off irregularly, Egyp- tian and Sen Island are steady at last week's quotations ‘The market bas taken its present tone from an apparent amelioration in money mutters, a fall in the price of breadstuffs, and a hope that the fine weather which we have may dispel the gloomy apprehensions which were previously entertained as to a continued and protracted scarcity of the latter —of such vital concern to all inte rests—therefore, whilst this position is supported, the decrease in the consumption, though’ it has, and is still calculated to check the advance, is not looked to as alto- gether sufficient to counteract the evidently insufficient supply of the raw material, which we are to expect if the truth of ashort crop is confirmed Speculators have ta- ken 10,300 bales of American and 700 Surat, and export- ers 3370 American, 80 Surat, and 93@Pernams.

Business wears a brighter aspect under the in- fluence of very seasonable weather; the money market iseasier; the operatives in the manufacturing districts more fully employed; shipments of British goods to the states on the increase, and a movement toward greater buoyancy in commeroial affairs than we have been fa- vored with for some time, is now manifest Meanwhile. the fate of prices in the Corn market will be ruled as much by the state of the weather with us, from this up to harvest. as by foregn supplies. ‘The Caledonia’s ad- vices cannot be said to have exercised any influence ou our markets. The following extracts from the Econo- mist newspaper, compiled from their review of the offi- cial accounts of the Board of ‘T'rade, for the three months ended th Aprillast, will proveinteresting.

We are able now, by the ac- counts before us, to compare the quantities imported in the present year with the two last years; but the great distinction between the ‘hype year and the two last. lies in the way in which the quantities thus imported huve parsed into consumption,and which these accounts do not exactly enable us to show, from the fact that, iv the present year, there being no duty chargeable upon rain, no entry has been made of the quantities entered for consumption. distinctive from the quantities import- ed. It may, bowever,generally be stated, that the quan- tities imported in the present year represent those taken for consumption, if we deduct from them the quantities re-exported; for while, last year, the imports ot grain and flour, during the first six months, accumulated in the warehouses, in the present year they have passed in- toconsumption’ as rapidly as they have come in.

Loxvon Maaxets, June 3—Cotton—Since last report the market has had a firmer appearance, anda rise of 44d _perlb. has been paid. Exporters have operated with more freedom, and a good business hus been done. The home trade, however, buy only for actual wants whereas speculators have retired from the market. The decline in the ages of corn,and more cheering advices from Liverpool, have given additional confidenee to the merchants here. None has been offered at public sale, but 836 bales Bengal are declared for the 17th instant Accounts from the manufacturing districts are more sa- tisfactory, which is attributed to the fall in corn, and should prices further recede, prospects of business will it is fully expected, be more cheering. Hides—The market for all descriptions has a very dull appearance. and the business done by private treaty continues limit- ed, at prices in favor of the buyers. At the late public sales the biddings were languid, and the parcels sold were generally at lower prices, Of East India 36,726 were put up, and only about half sold; the qualities were chiefly inferior. 178 tanned & I sold at 74d to Is 2d and wet, damaged,kc. 544d to 6d; 1006 Calcutta bufful 2gd to 33gd, damaged 1%d to 2d; 1200 Batavia jd t 434d, third 24d; 1784 Singapore ditto 24d to 2%d, da maged and low 1}¢d to ad; 3000 Manilla do, 2736 dry do cow, 100 German cow, 297 Buenos Ayres calf out; 140 North American, dry salted, 2% to 3d. dry 3%; 513 salted Cape 3d to 454d; 196 salted WI 2%d to 3d, 210 salted St Holena 2id to 254, 836 salted Irish 2d to 23¢d, 1049 dry salted Bahia out 4: 1919 dry Rio Grande. 6859 salted Buenos Ayres, chiefly withdrawn; 5023 ealt- ed Rio Grande, a few sold at 3}¢d to 4d; 661 dry Buenos Ayres, best 6d, second 4d per Ib, 4308 salted Buenos ‘Ayres partly sold at 108 1d to 11s 6d. Hops—Under the influence of the present fine weather, the bine continues to progress most favorably. We hi eceived intelli- genoe of a slight ficrease of fly this , though to a very trifling extent, from mid Kent and Sussex. The market continues firm. Metals—Within the last week or two the iron market has been in a very dull state,and although the sales have been even upon & more restrict- ed scale than noticed in our last, lower prices have been accepted. The tightnees in the money market and the want of confidence hasstill a very unfavorable effect on this branch of business. Some small sales of Scotch pix iron have been made at 66s for all No. 1, and 6388 to 63s 6d cash for mixed numbers with a bill at 688.

British—new Irish butter has been operated in with caution, although there are sellers of fine quality for arrival at 90s to 92s. An opinion prevails that » ma- terial decline from present rates will take place shortly, as the make is likely to be very large this season. In Ire- land a considerable fall in the value bas taken place. Of old there is none remaining unsold, but it i# little want- ed. Of English the supply is exceeding the demand, and there are ready sellers of fine Dorsct at 95s to 98s, mid- dling ditto 88s to 92s per cwt, and of fresh at 83 to 128 per dozen pounds. The tendency of prices is still down- wards, as the supply is very large. Holders of bacon ask about previous rates, but the home trade operate with much caution in all sorts, as the consumption is extreme- ly sunall, and less than fer many years. ‘The value of ble is 73s to 78s and of heavy 70s to 76s.

Grey shirtiogs continue to sell freely, and jncconets, white and grey, have been realised to some extent, at about previous rates. Mada- pollams are without any change, White twills are very ull ofeale at low rates. Grey twills or drilliugs, fron recent sales of American, are rather lower in value. Checks, spots, stripes, and most other Manchester fancy cottons, are in little request, and very low in value, Ia book muslins, No, 1 to 3, for Burmagh, # good business has been done, and are supported, being Cempany’s rupees 1,25 to 1-3 for No. 1 of the best makes, Lappets ofall descriptions are again diffoult of sal, with heavy stocks, and the dull season of the year for such goods at hand. Scarfs are also very heavy in stock, and remain at extremely low rates. Common mulls, Nos. 1 to 6, have been totally neglected since the Affghans left at the beginning of March. ‘The finer qualities of 45-inch are im moderate inquiry, but at very low rates. In other Glasgow plain cottons very little has been dono: Printed goods of almost every description remain wilhout de- mand. Turkey red twills and cambrics are in a fair in- quiry, and the stock being moderate prices are main- tained. ‘Turkey red mulls and jacconets are rather lower, and for fancy there is generally only a moderate demand. Printed hankerchiefs suitable styles are in fair request. Mule Twist—The ce market has been very dull, and rather lower rates have ain been takenfor the limited sales that have been effected. The stock is large. being not under 9000 to 9900 bales in importers’ hands. Turkey Red Twist— ‘The sales of red yarn are also very small, Ex; a Raw Silk—In the absence of arrivals of the new silk, and with continued unfavourable advices from the home market, the business done in this staple has been on the most limited scale, Prices are looking down, and, unless dealers consent to submit to reduced rates for the silk ‘about to arrive, shippers are not likely to be induced to come forward. Silk Goods—Corahs have continued in fair demand, all of good quality finding bnyers, ship- ments of choppahs are stilllight, and no transactions in these are reported. Sualtpetre—Shipments England remain very small, the advanced rates oftonnage having in checked the limited demand that {ga exist- ed.

Rice—There was rather more inclination to ship rice, on receipt of the mail per Precursor, reporting an advance of home prices to near their previous highest point. The business done bas however, been moderate, and prices are without change. Indigo—Latterly the demand has iapegr ed.

Tallow—A better business has been done since last re- port, and there has bee! eat firmness on the part of holders of Russian; prices have also had an upward ten- dency during the last eight or ten days. All other sorts of foreign bave participated in this improved fevling, and there is less anxiety to sell. Tea—Rather lower rates have been submitted to by the importers to effect sales, without causing any improvement in the demand, and the present value of common teas is now lower than ever known. A large quantity of medium Congou at 11d to 11344 is offering, being 1d to 2d cheaper, but the trade do not increase thuir stocks; fine at 1s 6d to 1s 10d, is nearly neglected. | Wool--Forelgn descriptions are dull; but in prices no change from those paid at the late public sales has been made. The arrivals of both colonial and for- vign are to a fair extent, Prices of English havea down- ward tendency, and the market remains very quiet. There are several orders unexecuted, and if farmers were inclined to part with the new olip ‘at slightly reduced prices, there would be a large business done. The stocks, however, are very small, and this circumstance makes the farmers firm in their demands. Lonpon Tonacco Manxer, June 2.—The market was very much neglected last month, sales not having ex- ceeded 400 hhds; the trade manifested a general indis- position to inerease their stocks, and the business done was principally in selections for immediate use. At this period of the year, except under peculiar cireumrtunces, operations are very limited, but for some weeks past this has been observable, and it is more than probable that the demand has been in some measure contracted by the unsettled state of monetary affairs; prices have, never- theless, been fally supported, and we have seen no desire to effect sales under our previous quotations, and which we have resumed. Advices from the United States, re- ceived yesterday, state prices as being very firm, with an upward tendency, and this also applies to some of the European markets. Imports have been 5 hhds. Delive- ries—1087 hhds. against 1467 bhds. in the corresponding month of 1846; 1287 hhds. in 1845; 890 hhds. in 1844; 1176 bhds. in 1843; and856 hhds.in 1842 Stock—28.723 bhds, against 25,749 hhds in 1846; 27,489 hhds in 1845; 25.206 hahds in 1844; 16,403 hhds. in 1843; and 13,911 hhds in 1842, In Virginia there has been scarcely any thing done deserving note,a few selections, principally for spin- ning purposes, comprise the sales ofthe month. In Ken- tueky leaf and strips sales have been 340 hhds; upwards of 140 hhds. of leaf at 3d to 444d, and the remainder strips at 44d to 534d. For exportation scarcely any thing done. Jn Havannah leaf there has been a steady inqui- ry for good and fine qualities, both for home trade and exportation; but stock is almost bare of these descriptions, excepting whatare held by the trade. ‘T'wo or three small parcels of old and ordinary have changed handsat 12d to 15d, and a few bales of fine at 3s $d to 3s 9d per Ib.; 227 hi arrived ex Veloz Ricarda, but not yet sam- pled. Recent savions speak unfavorably of the forth- coming importation. Havana Cigars—The market being very well supplied with good and fine sorts, buyers have limited their purchases, and have been disinclined to in- crease their stocks. Some sales have been made lower rates, both for home trade and exportation. M nilla cheroots have been in limited demand; holders are tim at present prices. In Cuba the demand has been moderate; the present large stock has prevented the trade from buying, except to a limited extent. Sales have been made at a elight decline. Columbian Leaf and Roll—In the former a very trifling business has been done; the market is almost bare of fine quality, and the anticipation of arrivals prevents manufacturers from paying extreme prices. A parcel of roll has been taken for exportation. Stock is very small. St. Domingo—62 serons have arrived, and are in course of sampling. Havannah Seed Leaf—A few cases were taken at a slight reduction from former prices. Brazil—Nothing done. Porto Rico Leaf—A good parcel suitable for fillers is offered at low rates. German Leaf—Several arrivals took place during last month, a large proportion of which was in bad condition and of ordinary quality. Parcels of good and fine have been neglected, in consequence of being packed comparatively wet, and on examination found in a state of fermentation.

Havre, May 31,—Cottons.—During the past we considerable amelioration has taken place in the general aspect of business, which has assumed a more animated appearance than we have witnessed for » long lapse of time, and from the continued promi ing state of the wheat crops, as well as the gradual decline in breadstuffs both here and on the other side of the channel, there is good ground for anticipating that the improvement will ot be merely of a transitory nature. ‘I'he satisfactory tenor of the advices from Liverpool greatly contributes to strengthen this feeling; and although the bad effects produced by the unhealthy state of money matters have not entirely ceased to predominate, it is obvious that the baneful influence of the financial crisis is daily becoming weaker, and all apprehensions of a relapse may be said to have completely disappeared. Our market has, there- fore, since last report, been distinguished by a great de- gree of activity; dealers from the trade have evinced « desire to operate freely, and the buying has not been al- together devoid of speculative spirit,though this has not been sufficiently conspicuous to give any impuise to the improvement, which may be mainly ascribed to the in- creased demand for consumption, ‘and prices have ex- perienced an advance ot fully 6 to 6f. on all descriptions of American cottons. Our latest intelligence from the United States is to the Ist inst., and we are now daily looking for dates to the 8th by the Sarah Sands, which: will, no doubt, shortly be followed by those of 16th {dem by the Calldonia steamer, vie Knglaud Ashes—For want of supplies, our stock being enuirely exhuusted, the market remains in the same situation as last reported.

Stock ou hand 200 tons, against 150 tons last year. Wheat and Flour—Owing to the prevalence of iavorable weather. ond the general decline in prices both in England end France, there has been less spirit displayed in the de- mand here, which has led to a reaction, our quotations for American flour, in loco, having lowered f 6 per bb The sales amount to 60,000 bbls. as follows :—New York, In loco, from f 60 down to f 66; New Orleans £95 00 w 53. and deliverable in June, f 63 60 to 49; Bi re four deliverable in June, was sold at f 49 per in bonw Towards the close of the week, our quote ms st od thus, viz :—Baltimore, in loco, at £61; New Orleans, £54 to 5350, and New York at f56 60 to57 per \ rll in wheat a decline has also taken place in prices, the ; : effected being 1100 hect.

Smalls Canton, March 29.—Imports—In imports prices are higher generally than last month; though the firmness evinced by importers has in some measure been coun- terbalanced by the effect of sales in'second hands, made for the immediate wants of the dealer. In the export market very little legitimate business has been done for the English market. And the effect of the system of advances to the native dealers on tea shipments still continues, in some degree, to be felt. The late advices, too, from England will check purchases for some time to come, The export of Congou. from shipments under advance, has been thereby materially increased; but in all other kinds, more especially in Twankay and Youn; Hyson, the export has been considerably uader that of jast year. Cotton—There has been muoh speculation among the Chinese, who are the chief holders, and. prices have been rapidly forced up. The present quota- tions are, for cash in two months, Bombay 86 to 10 taels; Madras and Be: 9.2to 10.2. Cotton’ yarn has advanced, For cash in two months, Nos 16 to 24 are worth 30 to $32; Nos. 26 to 32, 33 to $35; Non. 34 to 42, 36 to $33. Exports—Tea—A fuir amount of business has been done in most kinds since the departure of last muil, and generally at lower rates for cash, the teamen being desirous to realise, that they may be enabled to make their arrangements for the purchase of the new crop. Silk—About 500 bales are reported as settled at from 390 to $405 per picul for Tsatlee. State of Trade. Lancasnine, June 3—The broad silk trade at M chester and the neighboring towns has improved, this woek several manufacturers have got lun id e orders: for mixed goods for exportation to America. sorts of fancy goods are in moderate request, is every appearance of a brisker trade in the silk busi- ness. “The cotton trade at Blackburn is dull, the de- mand for manufactured goods is limited, and yet stocks continue low. The hands in the mills continue to work short time. ‘The gingham and fancy nankeen business at Radcliffe, Whitefteld, and their neighborhoods, is in a moderate healthy state. The woollen cloth trade of Sad- dleworth remains dull. The mechanics and machine makers at Oldham are generally fully employed, at food wages. The hatting business at Ashton, Denton, Hyde and Stockport, remains in a depressed state. ‘The hands in nearly all the cotton mills'at Bury, Heywood, Rams bottom, and their neighborhoods, are working three and four days per week. Man nester, June 1.—Since Friday last there has been a pretty fair enquiry for goods; but as manufactur- ers generally demand increased rates in some proportion to the advance in the cotton market, the actual busi- ness has been mited. Prices, though irregular, have been generally rather higher than those of last week. For yarn, there has been very little demand; but the spinners have been very firm in prices, and the few or- ders executed have been at rather higher rates. So far ag we can learn, there is no material change in the ex- tent of short time working; but we understand that some of the manufacturers and spinners, who have do- termined toreduce their time to ten hours, mn as the bill now before the house of lords is passed. This resolution, if extensively acted upon, will cause a sensi- ble diminution in the production ef goods and yarns, —Guar dian. Leeps, Tuesday, June 1,—We had last week, on ac- count of the holidays, a very quiet market; and to-day, the business done at our cloth halls wore a similar ap- pearance. There isan opinion abroad that wool, like corn, is to come down in price; and being on the eve of the German wool fairs, many trangactions are suspended until this point is ascertained. Huppeasrriecp, Tuesday, June 1.—We have had more buyers, and every thing looks more cheerful than they have done for some weeks past. It is hoped by many that the worst period is past. More business bas been done in wool, and the foreign warehouses continue busy with American orders. Gtaseow Pia Inow Manxer, June 1.—Our market for pig iron has been rather firmer this week, though with- out much doing. ‘We quote the price for mixed Nos, 64a 6d to 65s, cash f. 0. b. - —S ‘Theatrica! Bowery Tueatnre.—It will be seen from our advertis- ing columns, under the head of amusements, that Mr. J. P. Waldron, the urbane and gentlemanly treasurer of tho Bowery Theatre, takes a benefit at that establishment this evening. The bill of fare which he offers is highly attractive and entertaining.

We have no doubt that his friends wiil rally around him on chis oscasion.
