PLANTATION Sucass.—Yesterday this market was opened (having been closed since Thursday last on account of the holidays) with but a middling supply, when the buyers purchased rather sparingly, partly in consequence of the extensive sales of Mauritius Sugar, which are ad vertised, and partly in consequence of some of the impor ters having shown rather a disposition to effect sales; in prices however at present very little alteration can be no ticed. A public sale of Barbadoes yesterday went off very languidly, barely supporting the prices obtained at the sale of last week.

REFINED SUGARS.—There has been rather more in quiry for Lumps, but at very low prices, and some parcels have been sold a shade under last week's quotations; in the middling and better sorts there is still very little doing, but there is no alteration in the quotations to notice. COFFEE.—The public sales both of Plantation and Foreign brought forward yesterday and to-day went off at lower prices ; the former consisting chiefly of fine ordinary to middling coloury Jamaica a ls. to 25., and the latter (all Brazil good, to fine ordinary quality) a 1 s. to is. 6d. ; altogether 356 casks Plantation and 1,050 bags Foreign were offered.

FRUIT. —There is no alteration to notice; the demand continues very languid, both for home trade and export ; for the latter, the accounts from abroad are very unfavour able. SILIC.-Bengals are offered at the sale prices. Taysaam and Tsatlee are unsaleable, at a reduction of five per cent. on the last Company's sale prices. The stock is expected to be much increased by further arrivals. The Company's declaration for the next sale is expected out to-day. An increase of business, both in the raw ant manufacturing departments, is anticipated, new that the trade are aware of the measures to be pursued by Parliament. BALTIC PRODUCE.-Scarcely any thing is doing in Tallow, which may be quoted at 38s. 3d. Hem;;and Flax the same. Bristles : fine qualities in demand ; inferior heavy.

Bd. a 3s. 10d. to 4s. per gallon. In - Brandies there is no variation. Hors.—The market is more healthy, and prices im proving. The accounts from the plantations are rather unfavourable, but no opinion can yet be formed as to their future growth, every thing depending on the wea ther. New Kent Pockets 86s. to 90s. and 955. ; East Kent Pockets 100 d. to 102 s. and 1265. ; New Sussex Pockets 78s. to 845., and 86s. per cwt.

THERRY, were copied from the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Tuesday. MATRIMONY.—A correspondent in Rut land informs ns that several couples from that interesting county have been united in the " silken bonds" during the past winter at a large parish in Leicester, in some in stances by stealth, (in the way in which Sculcoates, near Hull, has long been celebrated,) and in others from the gentility of the thing. But, alas for this midland Gretna Green ! the business is closed. A couple presenting themselves on Thursday 17th for the purpose were compelled to return, re infecta, as they could not prove that they actually resided in the parish ; to their no small mortification. They submitted to the ceremony next morning at their own bumble parish church.—Lincoln Mercury. RENCH COFFEE.—To make coffee pre cisely upon the French plan, it is necessary that the ber ries should be roasted rather higher than is usual in this country, that they should be used within one week from the time of roasting, and that they should only be re duced to powder an hour or so before preparing the beve rage. The powder is then to be placed in a coffee-pot, in the proportion of half an ounce to every large cup of water, which is to be poured in a boiling state upon the coffee. The coffee-pot is then to be placed near the fire, in such a way as to be kept a little under the boiling point, so that the aroma may not be carried off, but sufficiently hot to bring out all the strength of the coffee. It is usual in France to keep it in this state for two hours, at the ex piration of which it is gently poured off into another cof fee-pot, and served up at table. Those persons who like the flavour of the Chicoree powder add it in the propor tion of a tea-spoonful to an ounce of coffee. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Wednesday night last, about half-past eleven o'clock, an operative cotton spinner, about thirty years of age, proceeded to the edge of the Infirmary pond Manchester, and stated to a coachman who was standing on the flags that he intended to drown himself. The coachma❑ thinking he was in jest offered to assist hint in accomplishing his object, and ac tually helped him to get over the rail that surrounds the pond. The man then leapt into the water, to the extreme surprise of the coachman, whose energies were now di rected to getting him out. In this he did not at first suc ceed ; but some further assistance being obtained, the man was at length got out after the lapse of a quarter of an hour. He was by this time insensible; but on being taken to the Infirmary, and means of resuscitation re sorted to, he was soon brought round.— York Chronicle. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

ILLUMINATIONS IN HONOUR OF HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY. The illuminations last night, in honour of the birth-day of our gracious Sovereign, were very general, particularly at the West end of the town, and we never remember to have seen such splendid exhibitions as were displayed upon this occasion.

At the Castle, his MAJESTY entertained a large party to dinner, be seemed by all accounts, in ex cellent health and spirits. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE came to town yesterday morning front their seat in Bushy Park. The Duke of CLARENCE visited the Princess AUGUSTA at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, and par took of a dejeune with her Royal Highness. The Duke of CUMBERLAND paid a long visit to the Duke of CLA RENCE ; and the Princess AUGUSTA, the Duchess of GLOU CESTER, and the Duchess of KENT, visited,the Duchess of CLARENCE, at her Royal Highness's temporary residence in St. James's. The Archbishop of CANTEABUItY, the Archbishop of YORK anti the Lord PRIMATE Of IRELAND, visited the Duke of CUMBERLAND yesterday. Count LUDOLF,, the Neapolitan Minister ; transacted business yesterday at the Colonial Office. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD visited the CHAN. CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER yesterday. The Hylton Jollif'e, steam vessel of the first class, arrived here on Tuesday, and sailed immediately, having received on board Captain JOHN MARTIN HAN CHETT, who is, we are informed, going out with the es. pecial permission and licence of his MAJESTY, to take the command of the Turkish Fleet against the Russians, in the ensuing campaign, when the most active operations - are expected. This seems like a proof that our Govern ment do not intend abandoning their ancient and steady ally. The Captain is to hoist hid flag, as Vice-Admiral, with most ample powers; and from his having so often distinguished himself in the British Navy, during the last war, more particularly under Admiral Sir SYDNEY SMITH, we have no doubt but he will render great ser ♦ices at this critical juncture to the Sublime Porte.— Plymouth Journal. IMPROVEMENTS IN FLEET STREET. The demolition of the church of St. Dun site, e t o , the we are erection in d o ee of d t a o new e o hu r n stan in the West, in consequence of its dilapi dated and dang erous s t a t e , b e i ng d eterm i ne d on , give stec on pthreepto e r par ticulars of the present venerable structure ; and the more especially as the measure will be the means of a great public improvement, in widen ing the narrowest part of Fleet-street. The church is a very ancient foundation, and the first authentic mention made of it is in 1237, when it was given to Henry the Third by the Convent at 'Westminster, in whose gift it was, for the support of the Rolls House, a receptacle for converted Jews. The parish is still connected and joined with the " Rolls Liberty," the latter district deputing a certain number of inhabitants to assist in the parish business. After the reign of Henry, it was transferred to the Abbot and Convent of Alnwick, iti Nor thumberland, and so remained till the supres.. sion by Henry VIII. Lord Dudley possessed the advowson of the Church, under the title of a Vicarage, granted by Henry VI., and subse quently to Sir Richard Sackville, whose descend ants alieneated the impropriation to George Rivers, who retained it to 1631. The church is built of brick and stone, and the work and architecture of different ages. It escaped the fire - of London. The tower is 100 feet in height, the body of the church is 30 feet high, 91, feet long, and at the west end 60 broad. On the east side, fronting fleet -street, is a statue of Queen Elizabeth, crowned and gilt a few years since. The inscription on the base, nearly hid by the cutler's shop, denotes it to have been removed from Ludgate, taken down in 1760, and given by the City to Alderman Sir Francis Gosling, who caused it to be placed in its present situation. The two figures or wild men striking the quarters with clubs, and which have added so much celebrity to the church, and to this day attract gaping crowds, were set up in the year 1671. Within the church are several very an. , cient monuments, but much disfigured by white , wash, and the many repairs the church has un dergone.. In the belfry is a very fine peal of bells, but it is considered dangerous to ring in peal, and they are now only chimed. It was here Sir Matthew Hale, who afterwards became a great campanologist, learned the art. The taking down of the church, which is to be re built, more in the rear of the present site, and the alterations now making by Messrs. Hoare, who are about to erect a handsome banking es tablishment, backward of their old premises, which are now being pulled 'down, will be a material public improvement. The Bill for the demolition of the church, and the erection of a new edifice, is now in Parliament. Some oppo sition has been offered to the measure by the in habitants of the Rolls Liberty, who wish to be separated from the parish, and build a church of their own. NORWEGIAN LADIES. Eating and drinking is the great business of the Norwegians, the sole occupation of many, and the chief luxury of all ; and it is owing to this that the condition of the Norwegian females is so much lower than it is in any other of the European countries. I have heard an English lady, married and settled in Norway, say, (not from her own experience, but from what she saw around her,) that she would rather be a maid servant in England, than a from in Nor way. And let me here mention a distinction between frou and madame, which is peculiar to Norway. In all parts of Scandinavia, except ing Norway and Denmark, every married woman may be called frou,madanze being a more honourable appellation; but in Norway and Den mark it is otherwise. There, every shipper's or tradesman's wife receives the title of madame, whereas that of fi ou is the distinctive honour. Formerly, it was only the wives of noblemen, or superior officers in the army, who were entitled to be calledfi oil ; but, by a late regulation, the wives of dignified clergymen, of doctors in me dicine, and of persons holding certain offices un der Government, are entitled to be so distin guished ; and so much is this distinction prized, that I heard of an instance in which a gentleman purchased an office in Copenhagen, that his wife might be entitled to be addressed frou.— There is, perhaps, no occasion to apologize for this digression, as it contains some information, the want of which might lead the traveller into an error in etiquette, that might be prejudicial to him. But to return : well might the English lady express herself as she did. Women even of the highest rank in Norway are slaves; the greater, indeed, the establishment, the greater the slavery; which is precisely the reverse of the condition of females in Eng. land. Whatever the number of servants may be in the different departments of a Norwegian establishment, they are not entirely trusted to in any thing ; the mistress of the house is still prin cipal housekeeper, chief laundry-maid, and head cook. The cook-maid in Norway is not in trusted with any of the great operations in the art ; her duties are precisely those of the menial who, in England, is designated a scullion. If a frou be so fortunate as to have grown-up daugh ters, her duties are, in some degree lesseEed. In a family with .which I had constant inter course, the two young ladies,frokens, as young ladies of quality are called in Norway, had their alternate weeks in the cooking department ; at least half of every day was spent in the kitchen ; and she whose turn it was to do this duty, did not take her seat at the dinner table with the rest-of the company, hut 'appeared when din ner was Dearly concluded ; and then with cheeks that would have made rouge be superfluous. I have mentioned elsewhere, that the duties of the ladies do not end with the cooking of dinner ; the young ladies (if there be any) carry in the dishes, and if there be none, the mistress of the house. They also change the . plates, wipe the knives, and perform every other office that is performed elsewhere by servants ; Norway, a servant is seldom or ever seen in 4 14141 in-room. The Norwegians would, in deed, consider, it disrespectful treatment, were they to employ their servants to wait upon their guests. In one 'house where we occasionally visited, and in which' therowere no young ladies, 'two farmer's daughters, neatly dressed, always assisted the lady of the inansion-to wait upon the company,, A.Norwegjan lady might, indeed be cited as ii pattern to any English servant in the waiting department. She is constantly walking round the table, observing the wants of the guests, and supplying them. Nor does she, in general, partake of dinner with the party, but clines either, before dinner is served, or after it is taken away.—Coutony's Jou, ney,
