REVIEW OF THE BALTIMORE MARKET, (AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREWITH,) For the Week ending lust evening. REM ARKS.—Aside from the excitement which has been of long duration in our Coffee market, we. have no new feature to note. Bit the sweep appears to be general—as f.ir as the article is culti vated or consumed—the prioe is improving, and there is no tendency downward, that we can find in any quarter. AMERICAN DRY GOODS.—There continues a very fair business going forward in this department of trade, with occasionally more than an ordinarily sized order to fill for foreign shipment. BARK.—Quercitron continues in good demand, but is becoming scarce. BEESWAX. —VVe have no transactions of mo ment to report: prices remain nominally 22@2*2A cts., according to quality. CANDLES. —All descriptions remain very firm, j with a good demand, Sperm selling at 40, and Ada- ! mantine at .40 cts. HP lb. Mould Tallow arc steady, j COFFEE. —The transaction* this week have ' again been heavy at improved and improving prices, ; I comprising no less than 10,000 hags Rio, including i those in first and second hands, and leaving afloat 6000 hags, which constitutes all that are in impor- j tors' hands, and which is of miscellaneous quality, but fair to good grades. The extreme prices naid were 10A@114, but chiefly 11@ll£, 6 mos. The 6000 hags now afloat arc held 12 cts. COTTON. —The sales for the week have amount ed to 545 hales, including mid. ani mid. fair Upland at the extremes of 11 and 12{ cts. lb., 6 ms. The to market, previous to these transactions, had been quiet, and something like a slight decline had been evinced. The stock is about 1800 bales. FEATHERS.—We have no alteration to note: the market is moderately supplied, with fair to good ' sorts which are taken in lots at 33® 35 cts. lb., ; cash. FISH.—The market is dull, particularly for Mac kerel, for which there is the most enquiry; lor although there is still a further slight giving way in the Eastern markets, here prices are too high for any thing beyond ordinary operations. FLOUR AND MEAL.—We noted in our last week's report in regard to Flour, that towards the close, sales to some extent had been effected at *>1.75, and that this price embraced Howard street as well as City Mills. The transactions during the passing . week have not been heavy, but prices rather flutter ing, and we cannot name an undisputed price, but quote as they range for Howard street and City Mills, 4.75@ #4.874, the extremes for either. In spected this week: Corn Meal, 1140 brls., Rye Flour, 334 brls.-- Howard street Flour,.. .9,234 brls, 101 hf. brls. City Mills do. ..10,194 " 1091 Family do 266 " " Susquehanna do " " 19,694 brls. 1195 hf.brls. forming a total of 20,291 A brls. of Wheat Flour. The Table incorrect. FRUIT.—By auction, the cargo of brig Miry Eleanor, from Malaga, sold as follows: of 5250 bxs. B inch Raisins, 2500 sold at 2.1J@#2.4l HP bx.; 2000 lif. do., 1000 do. $1.30; 2000 qr. do., 1600 do. 05® 66 cis.; 500 bxs. La vers, 350 do. 2.85 n >3.05; 100 casks S in, 5 do. $7; 100 hf. bxs Figs, s.]®7A cts. V lb.; 200 kegs Grapes, 60 do. 3 25® #3.35, each; 100 ha If do., 60, I.Bo® #1.825; 100 frails Iviea Almonds, 16J (a IS Ota. HP lb.' f GRAIN.—The decline noted in the prices o Wheat last week, although far from being recovered las manifested some more firmness, but the reduced price of Flour is still calculated to keep down that of Wheat. The transactions have been to a fair ex tent, and prices for good to prime red have ranged from 98® >1.02; 871® 95 h>r subordinate qualities; 1.05®51.08 lor white; and 1.10@51.12 for Family Flour do. Corn is in great variety of quality, but the only shipping lots that are saleable arc new dry at 48® 50 cts. for white, and 50®52 for yellow. Old commands 55 cts. for white and 60 for yellow. Oats have slightly improved in demand, but prices remain at about 30®33 cts. HEMP.—The market continues dull for American, and there is little of any other description in market. HIDES.—We note the sale of an invoice of about 10,000 Buenos Ayres at 11A cts. V lb., 6 mos. HOPS—Continue steady at 15® 16 cts. for new crop Eastern. IRON.—We are still without any operations to note in reference to American Pig. MOLASSES.—The only sales which we have beard of were the following by auction, viz: of 140 y brls. new crop New Orleans offered, 20 sold at 285@29 ets.; and of 104 do. offered, 80 sold at 23@ 24 ets. V gallon, 4 mos. NAVAL STORES.—We have no alteration to report in the demand, and prices are steady. OILS.—Most descriptions continue in fair request, and prices are quite firm. PLASTER PARIS.—Wc have no alteration to note, from #2.25 ton, but the receipts are light. PROVISIONS.—The market has been quiet, but i only about seasonably so. No heavy transactions I liave taken place in any descriptions, but with a kind of changing hands to supply an immediate retail de ■ mand prices have remained as about previously re ■ ported. ■ In Beef and Pork we hear of no transactions W whatever. Contracts for new packing and salting have been entered into, but their distinguishing > features we have not understood. Baron —There is no establishd price for a large mass that is on sale, but choice Shoulders may be - quoted 4A®4A; Sides sj@s£;and Hams 8® 9 cts. V * lb. Lard. —We have no fixed price to report. The market is not active under any circumstances; but 7 @7l cts. maybe considered the extremes for kegs, and 6s@6] cts. for hrls. Butter and Cheese. —For good qualities the market is fair, but there is nothing beyond a moder ate demand for either. RICE—New crop has been selling at 3.50® $3.621 V 100 lbs., but the demand is not active. SEEDS.—With limited transactions prices re main pretty steady, particularly for Clover and Flax —the former at 4.25@54.50, the latter at $1.31 A V bushel. SPIRITS.—N. E. Rum has been uniform at. 31 cts. Whiskey has again been steady since our last week's report, hhds. at 27, and brls. 28 cts. Vgallon. SUGARS.—The market is heavy and previous prices are with difficulty maintained, the week's sales may be summed up in the following catalogue, which were all public, viz: yesterday, of 191 hhds. Porto Rieo, 102 sold at 4 70® $5.40; 188 do. Cuba offered, 90 sold 5.20® #5.45; and 19 do. new crop New Orleans $5.25 HP 100 lbs., 4 mos. TOBACCO.—The season for further heavy trans actions has become so far advanced that we shall not be enabled, probably, to report any others of striking importance this year. There have several sales been effected within the last two weeks, which, in the aggregate comprised some 1000 hhds. of medium to the better grades of Maryland, at an improvement of fully 25 cts V 100 lbs.; but the stock on sale now k is too limited to admit of large operations, although 1 there will doubtless remain a good enquiry, and the a year will close with a lighter stock in factors' hands than it has been our province to state for many pre- H ceding corresponding years, and prices will remain ■ equally firm. The week's inspections comprise 269 | hhds* Maryland and 53 do. Ohio* Total 322 hhds. The amount exported this week to foreign ports has ' been 202 hhds of Maryland and Ohio, to Marseilles. 1 [We find it dillicult to correct our tables at this ad | vaiiced period of the season, ami must therefore beg j the privilege of deferring any attempt thereat, until 1 the close of the year, wnen the stocks will he then I taken at the different warehouses, and an official re- I port then given of the quantity and denominations.] WIN EN.—We note sale by auction of 12 eska. Sweet Malaga at 35 a 37A els. o* 1 gallon. WOOL.—Amoiig the week's sales we note tho*e of 2500 lbs. fleece washed, not m very good older, at 31 A® 33 cts.; 1500 tub do., 285/ 30; 3000 do. pulled, ' 27 " 2SA; and 3500 do., unwashed, 18®2Jcts. fib., | all cash. | BEEF CATTLE. —The market was in fair sup- I ply last Monday, hut as the offerings were not as I largo as formerly and the weather more favorable for packing, a brisk business was done; and of 1300 head brought forward 970 were disposed of at 2 a $3.25, gross, equivalent to I a $6.25 C 100 lbs., net; except 60 left on drover.-*' hands 270 were driven Eastwardly. Live Hogs have sold at 4 a $4.25, and one very choice lot as high as $4.50.

The business has been very large, and the Tolls will probably exceed three and a half millions j of dollars, showing a small excess over last year I The Tolls for the third week in November were j $33,000 in excess of the same week of 1848, and the aggregate receipts of the season at the opening of the fourth week were only #21,001) behind those of the same time in ISIS. The receipts of Flour, and 1 Wheat reduced to Flour, arc 19,999 brls. in advance i - of last season, up to the end of the fourth week. 1 Corn shows an excess of 2,237,990 bushels; Wool, an increase of -1,909,099 lbs.; Butter a decrease of ' 3,990,999 lbs.; Cheese 1,299,909 Ib*.

Annual Report, of the Postmaster General We publish, to-day, t lie first annual report of the Post master General Col lamer—the fir-t of the Congres ) sional " long yarns" we are to publish in the course ) of the week. To every well-informed mind, and to i all who arc desirous of keeping well apprised of the year's history of their country, these documents one 1 and all; will be read with profit. The Post Office Report is a eon -he, well-written, sensible paper. Mr. Collamer follows Mr. Cave Johnson in recommending, in modest term*, the in troduction of a uniform rate of postage of five cents 1 on each letter, an:l gives a vciy satisfactory account - of the increased receipts of the department, render ing such a reduction possible. He complains, like f his predecessor, of the monopoly of Rail Roads, and the consequent expensive trai sportation of the mail by Rail Road companies—a complaint which will ■ last as long as there are chartered companies for this or any other public purpose whatever. As to the changes in the personate of the depart ' ment they are indicative of the comprehensive re forms which have been carried out during the pre sent administration of President Taylor. But let us * glance cursorily at some of the interesting facts stated. s The number of Postmasters appointed within the 3 year ending June 39th, 18)9, was 6333—0f that > number were 2782 in consequence of resignations; 1 183 deaths; 284 changes of sites; 2103 removals; 11 ' expired commissions, not renewed; 26 commissions renewed; 23 by becoming Presidential appointments, '} in consequence of yielding more than #1990 per an num; 921 new offices. The department, it appears, ' is in a flourishing condition. The gross revenue for the year ending June 30, 3 1949, amounted to #4,905,176 28. The Post Office arrangements organized for ? California have not worked successfully, so far as is " yet known. The postmasters and agents, however, arc exerting themselves with diligence and energy. 1 The laws regulating the Department are not well adapted to that country, nor are the means of the s Department adequate to the enormous expense at • tending all sorts of labor and service there. ' In the last year 2,100,000 dead letters had to be " opened and examined. Of these 4964 contained $32,069, and 998 had other enclosures of value. 1837, the number of post offices was 11,767 —now 17,164 —417 havingbeen established since June last. Number of dead letters 'in 1837, 900,000 —now 2,100,000. Number of quarterly returns in 1837, 48,000 —now 73,000. Number of mail contractors in 1837* 1682—now 4190. Length of routes in 1837, 111,242 —now 167,703. Annual mail trans portation in 1837* 32,597,006 —now 42,544,069. s The number of communications received at the ' department annually cannot be less than 370,000. ? The present length of Rail lioad routes is 6138 miles—an increase of 1149 within the last two ~ years. On these the mail is carried 5,749,040 miles annually. The foreign mail service, byway of Southampton and Bremen, has been performed by the Washington and Hermann, at a cost of $200,000 for the past year; amount of postage accrued for the year ending Oct. 3 4,861,114. The mail from Charleston to Havana has been > carried by the Isabel, cost #35,086. J The route between New York and Chagres, * touching at intermediate ports, has been served I under contract with the Navy Department. Also i the route on the Pacific, the latter, however, not a with efficiency. Better things are hoped from ar '* rangements in progress, A history is given of the Sloo contract. The idea II of supporting t lie system of these mail steamships h out of the Post Office revenues is deprecated as ruin ■ ously burdensome. 0 The postage under the reciprocal treaty with ' England shows a balance annually against this Gov j ernment, most of the ocean service being performed 4 by English steamships. \ Efforts to extend the arrangements to France, s through England, have not been successful, t But our limits here will not allow of a further re - view of the Report. VVe commend it to the careful \ perusal of the public.—*V. Y. Krpress. < THE TREASURY ESTIMATES.

M. MEREDITH, Secretary of the Treasury. HON. SPEAKER of the House of Representatives. Counterfeit Land Warrants. —On Saturday last, Marshel Fclps and Lieuts. Cozzens and Molair ar rested a very genteel-looking man, some forty or forty-five years of age, named A. G. Thomas, for having in his possession and offering to sell between one and two hundred counterfeit u soldiers' land war rants." The officers arrested Thomas at the Frank lin Tavern, on Broadway, above the Mound. On searching the prisoner's trunk, they found only a sin gle warrant; but 011 application to the ladies of the house, they obtained live packages which Thomas had confided to their keeping, fearing, as he said, that his trunk would he robbed if the warrants were 1 left in it. In addition to the warrants, the officers obtained a large number of blank certificates of trans r fer. These purported to have been drawn up by an * attorney of New Orleans, whose seal was attached ' to them, and the warrants had a counterfeit seal, * hearing a close resemblance to the proper one at Washington. 1 The prisoner was a wholesale dealer, and sold his warrants at front twelve to fifteen dollars each.— When first arrested lie pretended to be very indig i nant, and was apparently very much enraged, but when the wanants were produced he cooled down * at once. It is supposed that many of these warrants > have been sold. Thomas is now confined in jail.— * St. Louis Union, Nov. 20th. ] The Speakership. —The thirty-first Congress was organised yesterday. An interruption of the tcle ' graph prevented us from laying before our readers the result of the first contest, namely, the choice of j Speaker. We have reason to trust, as well as hope, that Mr. Wintlirop is elected; but the division has, undoubtedly, been a close one. 'The following letter j is from the correspondent of the Journal ol Com , merce, not very favorable to Whig principles, or t Whigs. It contains the latest advices that we have from Washington:— Washington, Nov. 30th.—There are now many , members present, and the caucussing is going on „ very briskly, at the National, at Brown's, and at Willard's City Hotel—for these are the places where the politicians most do congregate. , Dr. Nes has been sent for, and will certainly he here if alive, to-morrow night. If he arrives, the j Whigs will lose but two votes by absence—i.e., Mr. T. B. King's and Mr. Julian's. Mr. Julian, by the way, is classed here as a Whig frce-soiler, and ' it is said that he would vote for Air. W'inthrop.— The Whigs feel much confidence in the success of \ Mr. W'inthrop. None of the Southern Democrats will vote for him, but still they might suffer him to be elected. I ssid that the Democrats are much divided as to their candidate. The Calhoun men are moving for Mr. M'Lane, of Baltimore. Mr. Cobb, of Ga., has , a slrong support, and Mr. Linn Boyd, of Ivy., is also f much talked of. The I democratic caucus may po.-si , bly nominate Mr. Boyd for Speaker, and Mr. Forney, t of Pa., for Clerk. 0 Mr. Calhoun has been heard of, and will he here on the Bth Dec. t Washington, D. C., Ist Dec. —At the caucus ol s the Whig members of the U. S. House of Represen * tatives held this evening, Won. Robert C. Wmthroj e of Massachusetts, was nominated as their candidate s for Speaker. The democratic members have noini u nated lion. Mr. Cobb, of Ga. lor Speaker, and I Inn. * iVIr. Forney, of Pa. for Clerk.

At tiie time the attack was made, M-Donald and i his party offered to compromise the difficulty hv the pa\ ieiii from the agent of a bonus, on the relinquish ment of certain claims. This was refused, and all that was asked hy agent and minors, was that they might be permitted to quit the premises unmolested, j This was granted.
