SUGAR.—To day there was increased firmness in the Raw Sugar market, and a fa!ling off in the supply of all kinds was observable. The home trade appeared anxious to increase their stocks, whilst exporters were inclined to do business, and a rise in the value of all sorts took place. West India of all qualitiess was in excellent request by refiners, and the grocers ,were anxious to operate, but business was interfered with by the chief part of the Sugar on show not being suited for their purposes. Prices, as compared with those of Friday, exhibit an advance of 611 to is per cwt, and it is difficult to purchase dry brown under 35s 6d, Supplies of all sorts are much re duced. The sales amount to 420 hhds, &c., including 123 hhds, 4 trcs of Barbadoes, which went briskly at a rise on former quotations of 61 per cwt, fine yellow fetched 44s to 455, good 42s 6d to 43s 63, good middling 41s sa to 425, middling 40s to 41s, and low 39s to 39s 6d per cwt. The market for Raw Sugar closes with much firmness. REFINED.—To day Retitled goods were much sought a , trr by the home trade, and stiffer rates were of6.red, but few parcels could bs obtained. Prices closed firmly at 55; to 55s 6d for standard, and at 54s 6d for brown grocery lumps. Bonded Crushed Sugar is unaltered in value, but the market is dull. Mauarrrus.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar of all kinds was in excellent request privately, and 2,996 bags at public sale were sold at an advance of is per ewt; good yellow fetched 40s to 41s, middling 38s 6tl to 39s 63, low 36s 6d, middling brown 325, low 29s 6d to 30s, washed 28s 6d to 395, syrupy 36s to 38s, sugar drainage damaged 31s to 39s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Bengal Sugar, consisting of 1,085 bags and 168 chests went off briskly at 6d per cwt. advance—good soft yel low but dingy fetehed 40s 6d to 41s, middling 35s 63 to 365, low 34s 6d ; 13enares, fine sound white 47s to 47s 6d, good 44s to 45s 6d, middling 428 to 435, damaged white 40s to 445, yellow 34s to 355. Of Ceylon 109 casks sold at improved rates, and went at 36s for mid dling yellow. Privately large parcels of Bengal and Madras Sugar were disposed of. F.OBEIQN.—To-day there was no public sale of any kind of foreign Sugar, but privately sales to a fair ex tent were made, and rather higher rates paid. The market has a firm appearance, and supplies are on the decrease. Mo'Assns.—The dulness in the market for West India Molasses has increased, all kinds having been dealt in with much caution ; and there is a plen tiful supply. The value of West India is 15s to 17s, according to quality. In Bengal Treacle there is still nothing doing, and prices are nominal, whilst there is a fair supply. Honey is offered upon rather lower terms. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon met with a more active demand, and 706 bags at auction were all disposed of at full market prices and in some cases rather above. Plantation was in excellent request, and at public sale 58 casks, 578 bags were sold alt stiffer prices, good coloury fetched 605., good middling sss, middling 50s to 535, low middling 47s to 48s 6d, fine fine ordinary, 43s to 465, fine greyish ordinary 38s to 41s6d, good ordinary 35s 6d, ordinary 33, pea berry 545. da maged 26s to 475, and triage 26s to 29s per cwt. Of Mocha 90 bales, and 64 bags were nearly all taken in, yellow long berry. at 90s, a few lots sold, good yellow, not long bean at 57s to 57s 6d, middling greenish 525, broken 40s, and damaged 7s 6d to 39s per cwt. The market for Foreign Coffee had a tranquil appearance, and the supply was larger. At auction 322 bags, 162 barrels, 20 trs of Brazil were taken in at the full value. TEA.—There is firmness on the part of On holders of all descriptions, and the supply is on the decrease, whilst the home trade are desirous to get supplied. The rates obtained for Black are fully equal to those , of this day week, and from the town and country trade a good demand has been experienced. In Green extensive purchases have been made in all kinds, and previous improved rates are well sus tained ; indeed in some cases rather more money. has been obtained for middling sorts. For Pekoe Teas the demand is on the increase, and prices continue to improve, while the supply is on the decrease. The public sales of 7,200 pkgs went off briskly; the large proportion of 6,000 finding buyers at fully previous quotations. To-day full rates were insisted upon, but there was not much passing in Black or Green. RICE.—To-day there was little passing privately in East India Rice, and of 2,985 bags of Madras at public sale a part only found buyers at rather lower rates— good pinky white went at lOs to lOs 6d, good middling 9s 6d, fine pearl Barley 93 6d to 10s, and damaged 8s 6d to 93 per cwt. The chief portion of the sound white was taken in at 105 per cwt. Cocoa.—This afternoon the quantity of Brazil offered at public sale amounted to 1,177 bags, and the whole was taken in at 37s to 38s for good grey, and at 36s for middling, being above the value, but two lots of fine red Bahia were sold at 37s per cwt. SPIRITS.—There is still a desire on the part of the home trade to get supplied with all kinds of Jamaica Rum, and exporters have been purchasers to a fair extent. Holders manifest more firmness, and less freely supply the market, whilst an advance in prices of Id to 2d per gallon has occurred. The sales are 250 puns since our last report ,• 33 to 35 per cent over proof of plain quality at 3s 8d to 3s 9d ; 36 to 38 over better quality 3s 9d to 3s 10d, and small parcels of fine 4s to 4s ad. Demerara has been in good request, and prices are firmer; 200 puns having been sold. East India is in much better request, and prices assumed an upward tendency, Leeward Island is held with firmness, and the sales are 200 puns at is 7d to Is 8d proof strength; there are large buyers rather under these rates. Ihseamnah is yet little required; still holders will not accept former rates. Geneva has been sold to a fair extent at 2s 7d to 2s 8d for shipping sort, and at 3s to 3s 6d for fine, fit for duty. For British made Spirits the demand is more active, and prices are firmer. The deliveries of Brandy continue upon a large scale, and holders have confidence. A good demand has been experienced. To day Ruin was in good request, and stiffer rates were obtained. SPICES.—For Cloves the demand is brisker, and prices are well sustained. 411 hags of Bourbon at auction were all sold. Privately, Penang has been disposed of at is 3d to is 10d, and Ambovna 9d to is. Cassia Lignea is little required, and prices tend down wards, although the supply is small. Of Cassia Buds, 6 cheats at auction were taken in at 100 s. Cinnamon is little r, quired, and the ten dency of prices is downwards. The quantity declared for public sale is 720 bales of Ceylon. Ginger is little required. Pepper met with attention privately, and 2,643 bags at auction went d higher. Pimento sells more freely. Of Mace 6 cases Penang were mostly taken in at 2s 8d for good middling, and at 2s 4d for low mid ding. 12 eases Bencoolen Cloves, fine is 9d to Is 10.1, rood la 7d, ordinary is 2d. The market is quiet for Nutmegs. SALTPETRE.—Tho business concluded by private treaty has been of little moment by exporters or the home trade, and previous rates are with difficulty sup ported. The value of Calcutta for home consumption is 303 to 32s according to quality. The rates asked for British refined are still 35, 6(1 to 36s per cwt, but the amount of business concluded has been of little moment. For Nitrate of Soda there is a much better demand, prices have advanced from 14s to 14s 6d. OILS.—The arrivals of Fish Oils have been small s . nce this day week, whereas the deliveries continue satisfactory. On the part of holders there is firmness, and they supply the market sparingly, but the demand is not so good. In consequence of the small :took of Southern holders require 2JI to 321 fur good to fine quality, and 261 to 281 for low and middling, but the sales made are of little moment. The market is quiet for Seal—pale a small supply, others plentiful. Cod is only in moderate request at 241 15s to 251 per ton. Sperm is held with firmness, and at 811 to 83/ purchases to a fair extent have been made in good and fine quality. Prices are not higher for Linseed Oil, but the home trade have been larga purchasers, and sales to a fair extent were made by exporters, whilst the supply is less plentiful. The rates paid on the spot at 23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt. For forward delivery several sales were conludt dat 24s to 24s 3d. Rapeseed Oil is in good request, and prices are firmer, whilst the supply continues small. Olive is in good request, still there is no improvement to notice in the value, although the deliveries are still exceeding the arrivals. In Palm a good business has been concluded. Cocoa Nut is yet little required, and prices tend downwards. TALLow.—To-day there was less activity in the Tallow market, and prices are not so firm, fine P.Y. Candle on the spot belling at 47s 3d to 47s 6d. TETE LOST AVENGER.—One or two circumstances relating to the unfortunate Avenger have come to our notice, which, for their interesting nature and the testi mony which they bear to the manly eharacter of her officers, deserve to be made known. Shortly before the Avenger left Lisbon to proceed to the Me iiterranean, a boy fell overboard, and as he was unable to swim and was evidently sinking, Lieutenant Marryat humanely plunged into the water, with the hope of saving him. On Mr. Marryat reaching the water, the boy clasped him round the neck with both arms, and so completely paralysed his exertions, that Lieutenant Marryat was compelled to call out for assistance. Upon this the first lieutenant (Hugh Kinsman) threw himself overboard, and succeeded in bringing his brother officer and the boy safely alongside the ship. But the circumstance which renders this anecdote remarkable is, that the boy, who could not swim, is one of the few who out of the whole crew of the Avenger were saved by the cutter which left her on the night of the wreck and landed on the coast of Africa.—Malta Times. ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITIONS.—If the history of competitions were written, it would display such an amount of rascality as would scarcely be believed. What injustice will not men, even honourable men, per petrate, when in committee ; admitting no personal responsibility even to themselves! " Corporations have no bowels," says the old saw; and certainly a committee has no conscience. But at the same time this history Would show even a greater amount of ignorance —ig norance of art, ignorance of the cost of its acquirement, ignorance of the actual position, responsibilities, and duties of architects. It is this which has led to more injustice and evil than want of integrity has. An architect's time is nothing ; a design, a pretty drawing, such as people make for their own amusement, of course; nothing else. Disregard by committees of conditions imposed by themselves is of constant occurrence, with out thought of the injustice to individuals which results. —Builder. A PRESENTIMENT VERIPIED.—Mrs. Thomas, who, on Friday last, was committed to prison for two months, by Mr. Henry, in default of payment of a fine of 201. for giving a fictitious character to a servant, expired suddenly, at the Tothill-fields Prison, at about eight o'clock yesterday morning. This is rendered remark able by the fact that, when taken in custody, she said it " would be the death of her " if she were sent to prison. An inquest will shortly be held on the body. COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS FOR THE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday the Commissioners assembled in their chamber in the Guildhall; Deputy Peacock in the chair. The REMEMBRANCER reported to the Court that the standing orders of the House of Commons with relation to the new Bill for the sanitary improvement of the City had been complied with, and a few days after the meeting of Parliament the Sheriffs would be prepared to take it down to the House. It was then determined to place the Bill under the care of Mr. Pattison and Mr. Masterman, the working Members for the city of London. THE PRICE OP GAS IN THE CITY. Mr. DAw, the chief clerk, read the following letter, which had been sent by a number of the inha bitants of Bishopsgate Ward to Deputy Peacock, the Chairman of the Commissioners of Sewers. It was listened to with much interest, as the subject has for some time occupied the attention of the citizens : " TO W. A. PEACOCK, ES,..t, " Bishopsgate Ward, Jan. 17. " Sir,—The undersigned have seen a paragraph in the newspapers, stating that the Court of Sewers had appointed a committee to inquire into and report upon the price of gas paid by the citizens of London, with a view to obtain a reduction in the rate charged, and have subsequently learned that the city gas com panies, taking the alarm, have determined on reduc ing their charge to 6s. pr thousand feet. " It will, no doubt, be within your recollection, that some of us presented a memorial to the Court of Sewers, signed by 260 inhabitants, gas consumers, of the ward, at the latter end of the year 1846, at which time we made the same complaint to the Court as that you are yourself now reported to have made (viz., that the company now supplying us at 7s. are elsewhere charging 65.), and you are aware the answer we then received to our complaint was by no means such as we considered we were entitled to at their hands. " It it, therefore, with much pleasure we now re cognise, and congratulate you on the fact, that you have shown - yourself amenable to the wishes of your constituents, and exhibited a willingness to take up their cause by bringing this matter before the Court of Sewers, and we trust that you will not fail to urge and obtain a thorough investigation of the matter, when we firmly believe it can only be by the failure of that Court to do its duty if an arrangement is not effected much more advantageous to the citizens of London than that now proposed by the gas companies ; which offer at such a moment we cannot look upon otherwise than as an attempt on their part to hood wink the independent members of the Court of Sewers, and stifle inquiry by giving up an instalment of the overcharge. " Under these circumstances, pending any public demonstration on the part of the ward, we have thought it right at once, as fully as possible, to put you in possession of our views (which we believe to represent the universal feeling of the ward), in order that, as our representative, you may be in a position to support our interests, and in the belief that in the position you hold, by ♦irtue of that representation (as Chairman of the Court of Sewers), you possess and can fairly exercise great power for the benefit of your fellow-citizens in this matter. " The considerations we offer to your notice are as follows : " Gas being an article of necessity to every trades man for the conduct of his business, it becomes him and is his duty to obtain it as he would any other marketable commodity of that party who will provide him on the best terms, he taking fair advantage of all circum*tances in his favour. " The advantage of supplying any district with gas is greatly in favour of one in which the lights are numerous on a given length of main, and against another in which the lights are remote from each other; as in the former there will be less capital sunk in pipes, less escape, less pressure required, and less incidental repairs and restorations with reference to the amount of revenue therefrom. The city of London is the most densely lighted district in the metropolis, there being in the city of London one light to every three feet of iron main, while in no other of the metropolitan districts is there more than one in every five feet, and in others the proportion will be one in fifteen. " The city of London is known and acknowledged to be the best paying district in the metropolis, the amounts collected being larger and more promptly paid than elsewhere and the defaulters less nu merous. " Notwithstanding these circumstances in their favour, the citizens of London have been paying more for their gas than the inhabitants of most other districts in the metropolis. The cause of this state of things, it is clear to us, and must be to you, is, that hile: other districts are accessible to competition, the city of London has been permitted to be parcelled out by the two companies that supply it, so that by an amicable understanding between them, they have been end - led to exact as much as they pl6ased or thought prudent to demand from the private consumers; and they have done this with im punity from the knowledge that the Commissioners of Sewers have uniformly refused to admit another company in competition, until it has been so gene rally understood by those who might have availed themselves of the permission that they have ceased to make application for the purpose. " The pleas of the Commissioners of Sewers for this state of things have been, that competition would cause a further disturbance of the already too much distubred pavement of the city; and that, as com panies must be remunerated, the investment of so much additional capital by another company would require, ultimately, a heavier tax on the citizens to that end, While we are willing to give these con siderations their due weight, we must claim for our selves, that they are only operative when, on a full and fair investigation of the circumstances, it can be shown that the citizens of London are required to pay only such a rate as will offer a sufficient inducement, under fair circumstances of competition, for any company to desire the supply. " Making use of the best information at our com mand, we are led to believe that the city of London, isolated from all other districts, offers advantages for a supply of gas fully equal or superior to those of any town in the kingdom ; it being our firm persua sion that the peculiar advantages we have mentioned nearly, if not quite, outbalance even any of a local nature with reference to the raw material of manu facture. " We le:.ve been credibly informed that the supply of such a district, apart from others of a less profitable nature, may be afforded at as low a rate as 4s. per thousand feet, and we feel confident that if not at that exact amount, it may be at one more nearly approximating to it than to the present or even the proposed charge of gas companies. " To avail ourselves of such advantages it is not necessary the streets should be disturbed by competi tion for the individual supply. It may be perhaps somewhat stepping out of our way to direct your attention to the means; but we cannot refrain from adverting to the plan by which the private supply may be taken into the hands of the Commissioners themselves, by means of possessing their own pipes, and contracting with any of the companies for the supply of gas ; the pipes already in the streets would be available for that purpose; as, if it were known they (the Commissioners) had decided on such ar rangement, it is not likely the present owners would refuse to accept a fair price for them, but prefer the alternatiVe of their being rendered useless, and there fore valueless. The full benefit of competition would thus be obtained, and your fellow-citizens would no longer be mocked by a pretended contract for the street lights, or a one-sided bargain for a paltry re duction of Is. per 1,000 feet of their own consump tion, when they had become too clamorous to be longer denied. " Having thus, as we consider, shown you that our interest, or, in other words, the common interest of your constituents and fellow-citizens, requires that all the circumstances connected with the supply of gas to the city of London should undergo a thorough in vestigation, and believing that by a different, and as we think a proper arrangement, we should be greatly relieved in a serious item of business expenditure, we respectfully, but urgently request, and trust we may rely on your efficient exertions in order to effect so desirable an end. And we pledge ourselves, should the Commissioners of Sewers not at once obtain for us far more favourable terms than those now pro posed by the companies, to use every means within our power, by public meeting or otherwise, indepen dent of them (the Commissioners) to effect the aboli flog of the monopoly." Upon the motion of Mr. IhaatsoN the letter was referred to the Committee of General Purposes. The CHAIRMAN informed the meetieg that the Chartered Gas Company had reduced the price of gas from 7s. to Gs. per 1,000 cubic feet. The meeting then adjourned, after having received intimations of the active exertions of the contractors for cleansing the streets. Tim noms AND COLONIAL INFANT SCHOOLS. — The Marquis of Lansdowne has sent a donation of 301. to the Home and Colonial School Society in aid of their fund to enable them to meet the Government grant. We read in the Courrier Franeais:—" A French Protestant, who kept at flatifleur a small reading room for English sailors, died one day last week without friends or relations, and in a state of almost abject poverty. The usual declaration of his death was made by a neighbour to the Commissary of Police, with a request that be would order his interment at the public expense. The Commissary, however, declined interfer. ing, because the fraternity who took charge of these charitable offices were by their statutes confined to Catholics, and recommended an application to the English Protestants. The neighbour thereupon went to the English Consul, but he replied that as the deceased Was a Frenchman he could not interfere. The neighbour was obliged to return again to the commissary, who, at last, ordered the body to be carried to its lest abode by common porters." LATE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT DUNDRY. AswroN, Momper AFTERNOON.—The investigation by the county justices, the Rev. H. Morehouse, W. Langton, and J. Shorland, Rags., touching the murder of Mr. Walsingham Hazen, at Dundry, under circumstances of a most mysterious character, were resumed this day, at eleven o'clock. The two nephews, Benjamin and John Hazell, and Joins Hall, were again present in custody. The room was crowded by spectators, anxious to be present at the proceedings. Mr. John Shorland, surgeon, of Rattlehouse, near Dundry, deposed that he was called up on Thursday morning last to examine the body of the deceased, which he found lying on the ground, near the dry well, from which it had been pulled. On examining it he discovered a very extensive blow over the left eye. It was a contused wound, and sach as might have been inflicted with an instrument like the bludgeon produced. There were various ether wounds on the head and fractures of the bones of the skull, ex tending half-way round it. The wounds could not ill have been produced by any fall—they were sufficient' to cause death. Witness thought it probable that the deceased was first struck (iv* r the ear by some one'. from behind, and that being felled by the blow, the other wounds were inflicted afterwards. The face of the deceased was covered with blood, and adhering to the blood were some hay seeds and haymotes, similar to which witness afterwards observed lying under the manger in the stable. Witness afterwards examined the stable and hay-loft, in company with Mr. Dow;' ling, a surgeon, and his servant man. Witness and: Mr. Dowling examined the loft without discovering anything suspicious, but as they were descending again the servant man called attention to = forty: or fifty spots of blood on the right-hand wall of the stable, near to the door. Some time afterwards witness was led to look under the manger of the stable, and be there found a brick lying in a pool of blood, and the stones of the wall, for about four. inches above the ground, covered with blood. There were also quantities of hayseed and motes there, similar to what were on the face of deceased. Should not think that one man could have carried the de ceased from the stable to the well without dragging. him along the ground. Did not discover any marki' of blood from the stable to the well. When he first saw the deceased his clott;es were drawn upwards towards the top of his body, as if he had been dragged by persons holding him under the arms. Benjamin Vowles, a farm servant, and th e si s t er o f the deceased and of the prisoners, were examined, but . their testimony threw but little light on the myste rious affair. It was stated that the prisoners assisted in searching for the deceased, and the only fact being in the slightest degree against them was, that of James Ilazell having kept the s'able keys in his pocket on Monday night, instead of hanging them up on a nail, as usual. The magistrates sat till a late hour, and the exami nation was then adjourned. WRECK of HER MAJESTY'S BRIG SNAKE. The overland mail brings us the following particu lars of the loss of this vessel. Our Bombay corres= pondent says—Accounts have bees received here of the loss of her Majesty's brig Snake, Commander Brown,. on Santiago's Beef, near Mozambique, on the night of the 29th of August. The crew were all saved, and had been conveyed to the Mauritius by the French brig of war Voltigeur. The Cerneen of the 3d of November gives the following account of the disaster :—" The Voltigeur, cruising on the eastern coast of Africa, arrived at Mozambique en the 7th of September last, and found the Snake ashore on a reef near Mocambo, ten miles south of the island of Mozambique. It learned from the ere* that was encamped on the shore that the Snake had been wrecked on the 29th of August The French captain hastened to offer to Mr. Brown, the Com mander of the Snake, his assistance in saving the materiel of his ship, and a passage for his men. Only the latter offer was accepted. By the 14th of September they had sricceded in taking from the vessel almost all she contained, except the two large guns. A Portuguese ship, the Progresso, was chartered to convey to the Cape of Good Hope all the things saved, and part of the officers and crew, consisting of the sick. The proximity of the Portuguese settlement was very favourable to the security of the shipwrecked, who would otherwise have inevitably been harrassed and plundered by the barbarous hordes inhabiting that coast. As the bad season was coming on, it was necessary to quit those latitudes. The Voltigeur, which since the 7th of September had made an ex cursion to Pomba-bay, having returned,took on board 76 men, among whom were Captain Brown and six officers, some casks of water which had become nee cessary from this increase of men, and set sail for the Mauritius on the sth of October. The Progress 9 was to leave Mozambique four days later. The Cotii mander of the Snake and his cfficers having strived safe and sound nt Mauritius, would not allow the brave railors of the Voltigeur to return to Bourbon; where they are expected, before having received a striking mark of their gratitude and esteem. They gave them on tho following day a splendid dinner at the Hotel d'Europe, at which, in warm-hearted toasts, they took pleasure in expressing to the French sea men the noblest and most affectionate feelings. Frank and cordial replies on the part of the officers of the Voltigeur to their comrades of the Snake gave to this brotherly festival a touching charaeter of heartiness and deep sympathy. On Monday morning the Vol tigeur continued her voyage to Bourbon, taking with her the agreeable recollection of her new friends, and regret at being so soon separated from them.
