Captain Tiourchier's report of his progre - ss up the river was so satisfactory, that I determined to prose cute the examination still further, and accordingly pro- - ceeded, on the following day, with the addition of the Neme'sis, and we succeeded in ascending 37 miles in a direct line, and 47 milei including the sinuosities of the river above Shanghae, where we were stopped by the shallowness of the water at the entrance of a large lagoon ; but having spoken with some small junks loaded with coal, which left Suchanfu only on the pre ceding day, we satisfactorily ascertained• that there is a water communication from the Woosung river with that rich and populous city, and that we had . actually reached within 25 miles o f it, with encouraging hopes that'",.the small steamers may convey troops within a short distance of it, should it be desirable. Commander Kellett's zeal on this service, and every other in which ha is engaged, exceeds all praise ; and I have the satisfaction of herewith transmitting, for their Lordships' information, a sketch, which he has drawn with much ability, of the coast of the Woosung, from its entrance as far as we have proceeded. It will convey to their Lordships the best idea of the locality in which we have been operating, and, I trust, prove a satisfactory addition to our present geographical knowledge of these parts. The troops were all re-embarked at Shanghae early on the morning of the 23d, when the squadron drooped down the river, and they were in the course of the after noont transferred to their respective transports at the an chorage of Woosung. The s'irveying-vessels and light-ships of the squadron will now proceed up the Yang-tse-Kiang, and their Lord ships may depend that no time will be lust in proce edin g with . the expeditionary fOrces in prosecution of further operations.—l have, &c. W. PARKER, Vice-Admiral. TO TEE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. Irodeite, Woo Lung River, June 18, hall-past 1. Sir,—ln pursuance of your Excellency's order of yes terday's date, I have placed the ships under my com mand (except the Clio, which -unfortunately got aground on her way up, and has not as yet - been got afloat) out of gun-shot of the batteries. Finding this morning that the batteries on the star board and larboard sides above us had been deserted by the enemy, I dropped the Modesto nearer, and landed and took possession of them with the Marines and small arm men of the Mochste and Columbine. I.found the guns—viz., on the larboard side, 8 copper guns, 33 iron ditto ; on the starboard side ' 8 copper guns 6 iron ditto—had, been dismounted, tents destroyed, and carriages most of them taken away. Above the batteries. I found 8 war junks, all of which were burnt, except a small one, in.which I hope this evening to have all the copper guns embarked. I have also the honour to enclose to your Excellency a copy of Mr. Forster's remarks, who has been sounding about a mile above the batteries in our boats. I have also to inform your Excellency, that the chop intrusted to me was forwarded to the city of Shanghae by a Chinaman, who undertook to deliver it there on the payment of a few dollars.—l have, &c., R. B. WATSON, Commander, her Majesty's ship Modeste, (True copy.) W. PARKER, Vice-Adinira.l. No less than 135 guns of different calibre were de stroyed in the batteries betw cen Woosung and Shanghae, at Shanghae itself, and above the town. Cornwallis, off the city of Chin-keang-foo, at the entrance sf the South Grand Canal, in • the Yang-tse-Keang, July 26, 1842. Sir,—lt is with great satisfaction that I announce to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty the safe arrival of the China expeditionary force off the island of Kinshan, at the entrance of the Grand Canal, in the Yang-tse-Keang ; and that the city of Chin-Keang-foo was taken possession of by her Majesty's combined .forces on . the 21st instant, after vigorous assaults on three points, and a determined resistance by the Tartar troops, who lined the walls for its defence on every part, com prising a circumference of four miles and a quarter. The squadron and transports, amounting altogether to 73 sail, left Woosung on the 6th inst., ascending this noble river in five divisions, preceded by the surveying vessels, small steamers, sloops, and my flag ship. The intricate parts of the Channel, delineated in Captain Bethune's chart, having been previously buoyed by the surveying officers, the fleet succeeded in reaching the extent of that officer's valuable researches within two days and a half, and every subsequent difficulty has btenanost commendably overcome by the unremitting exertions of Commanders Kellett and Collinson, assisted by other surveying officers and the Masters of the aqua dren, supported by the sloops which were sent in advance. It was not to be expected that a distance of 170 miles iii a river, of which the dangers in the greater portion were altogether unknown, and with rapid tides, would be navigated without some mishaps, and I believe that every ship of the squadron, as well as many of the transports, have been on shore ; but the bottom was everywhere of soft Mud, and fortunately no damage resulted. We were favoured with fine breezes and met with comparatively few impediments from shoals ; and none (that deserve the term) from any of the Chinese works of defence, in our progress to this anchorage. At Fushan and Keang-yin, on the right bank, two batteries of twelve and seven guns each were erected, but the guns were removed on our approach. At Seshan, hOwevt.r, about five leagues below the intersection of the Grand Canal, and where the river narrows considerably, for some distance, the surveying vessels were fired at from throe batteries mounting 20 guns, which were also discharged ineffectually at the advanced squadron, as they arrived off the spot three days afterwards, but they. were abandoned on a few guns being opened on them by the Modesto, and the whole; together with the barracks and magazines, were completely destroyed by a party of liamen and marines, which were landed for that purpose from the Cornwallis and advanced squadron, under Com mandr.r Charles Richards, of this ship. The flee t w as detained some days off Scsban by scant Minds, and at this point we lost the advantage of any run of flood tide, the stream constantly setting down at a rate varying • from two and a half to three and a half ridles an hoar, with the rise and fall of water averaging two feet. On the 15th, Commander Kellett, in prosecuting his examination of the river with the Phlegethon and Me dusa, was opposed at the entrance of the narrow channel between the island of Tscaoushan, and a commanding promontory on its south side, by a battery of 12 guns, which were soon silenced by the steam-vessels, with much credit to Lieutenants M'Cleverty and Hewitt ' • and the same afternoon Sir Hugh Gough and myself pro ceeded with the Vixen and Medusa to reconnoitre the approaches to Chin-Keang, when we not only found the battery and adjoining village deserted, but passed on without the slightest opposition close to the suburbs of the city and above the island of Kinshan, carrying the whole way an ample depth of water.. On the 17th, Captain Bourchier was dispatched with the Blonde, Modeste, Queen, and Nemesis, .followed by the Dido, Calliope, Childers, Plover, and Starling, to blockade the entrances of the Grand Canal, and with the aid of the steamers he gained an admirable posi tion for this object above Kinshan, by which it is esti mated that the t ra ffi c of not less than 700 junks has been intercepted. A party was also landed from the Blonde, and destroyed the .guns which had fired at the Phlegethon and Medusa. On the 19th, the Cornwallis, towed by the Vixen, suc ceeded in reaching our present anchorage, when the Island of Kinshan was immediately taken possession of by a small party of marines, but it is entirely covered with buildings of a religious character, and altogether too insignificant for military occupation. The wir.d in the course of the day veered to a more favourable point, -and I hid the satisfaction of being joined the same • evening and on the 20th, by the remainder of the fleet. -The Jupiter, and some of the transports, however, got aground a few miles below us, which obliged me to de tach the large steamers to their assistance. The grand canal on the south side of the river runs ahrough the suburbs of Chin-Keang, and no time was lost in making the preparatory arrangements for -taking possession of that city. It was ascertained that a body of about 1,500 Chinese troops were posted in an entrenched camp about a mile and a half to the south-west of the town, and on the hills beyond. The General, therefore, made his arrangements for landing the first and third brigades of the army to the westward of the city, opposite the island - of Kinshan ; and the second brigade at a commanding =position to the eastward, within 700 yards of the north east angle -of the walls ; and so little was resistance ex pected against such a combination of' force, that it was not deemed necessary to add the seamen and marines from the squadron. The disembarkation, which commenced on the 21st at reak of day, was judiciously conducted by Commander Richards,of the Cornwallis, covered by the Auckland, the small steam-vessels, and armed boats without opposition. The first brigade under Major-General Lord Saltoun, • as soon as it was formed, moved forward to attack the entrenchment camp, which was gallantly carried about nine o'clock, after a short resistance ; the Chinese pre cipitately retiring over the hills. - Major-General Schcedde, with the second brigade, about the same time ascended the heights assigned him on the river side, and after di sc h arging some rockets into the city, and supported by a well-directed fire of , shot and shells from the Auckland (steam-vessel), he gallantly pushed forward under a smart fire of cannon - jingalls, and musketry, from the. alls, and en t ere d t h at . point of the city by escalade about ten o'clock. Captain Grey, of the Endyinion, accompanied this brigade ; Captain Bourchier and other naval officers attached themselves to the forces which attacked on the - :laud side, and I had the pleasure of accompanying my - gallant friend, Sir Hugh Gough, during a great part of the operations of the day. The city. gates were all strongly barricaded, and, a s it was Sir Hugh Gough's intention to escalade the walls. - in th e di rect i on o f t h e south gate, some guns were ad= vaneed on a height to dislodge the troops, with which it Was now observed the ramparts were lined, but the canal was f oun d to run c l ose un d e r its walls, which ren dered an a ssau l t at thi s po i nt i mprac ti c able ; it was therefore determined to blow open the west powder-bags, gate with toint. (which 'bags, and enter the city by the bridge at that as the third brigade, under Major- Gen. Bartley (which was the last landed), could assemble. During these proceedings, the boats of the Blonde, in an anxious desire to land the artillery guns as near as possible to the west • canal, under the city '''w unfortunately advanced by the ells, which were much obscured by buildings before they e of the force to which . they became exposed ; and -tirsal: fire by which 16 men out o f 24, which .iiunder a very sever e d the e e crews e rm - of the Blonde's barge and flat-boat, were two officers and . -eight men of the Madras Artill ery wounded ; and it was only by great presence of mind thiunautLieutenant C ro uch, of that ship, after receiving three wou4nds • -eeeded in getting this men from those boats landed , in s the - auburbs on the opposite side, and_ removed the other boats from a position in which it was impossible to use their guns. Not a moment was lost in commtueatingX,is casualty to thd flag-ship, when Captain Richards, with pxeellent judgment and promptitude, immediately landed with 200 Marines at the entrance of the canal, where he was joined by a detachment of 300 of the 6th Madras Na tive Infantry, under Captain Maclean of that corps, and pushed through the suburbs to the city walls, while the whole of the boats of the Cornwallis, with their guns, under the command of Lieutenant Stoddart, advanced by the canal on his right flank. This little flotilla, having joined the boats of the Blonde, took up an ex cellent position and opened their fire with good effect in checking that of the Chinese, at the west gate. Captain Richards had determined if possible to scale the walls, in the hope of forming a junction with Gen. Schoedde's brigade in the city ; and having fortunately discovered a heap of rubbish from which his ladders could reach the parapet (about thirty feet high), he was in the act of rearing them, when Commander Watson and Mr. Forster, master, with a boat's crew and a small escort of marines joined him from the Modeste, which was stationed some miles higher up the river. Lieutenant Baker, of the Madras Artillery, Commander Watson, Captain Richards, and a private marine of the Modeste were the first who ascended. The two former were wounded, and the latter killed by the fire from the _west gate, in this intrepid achievement ; the remainder of the_ gallant band, including part of the 6th Madras Native Infantry, happily followed, without further loss, thus -effecting an important lodgment in the suburbs of the city, between the outer and the inner west gates, where they shortly afterwards communicated with the advance of Major-General Schoedde's brigade. About noon the arrangements for forcing the west outer gate being completed, it was most effectually blown in, when the third bri g ade, under Major- General Bartley, accompanied by the Commander in-Chief of the Forces, gallantly rushed in, sweep ing all before them. The buildings above the gate, in which the Tartar troops had been posted, were at the same time completely enveloped in flames. The Tartars, however, within the city, were still unsubdued, and having collected in a large body, the 18th and 49th Regiments, in advancing by the ram parts, about half an hour after the explosion of the gate, were suddenly fired upon, and unfortunately sustainer(' a severe loss of officers and men, although their opponents suffered in a tenfold degree. The seamen and marines under Captain Richards were at this time halted for temporary rest, on another part of the ramparts, but immediately advanced in the direc tion of the firing, and in passing along a narrow street in the Tartar city received a volley from a considerable body of those troops, who had posted themselves at a gateway, where they seemed inclined to make a deter mined stand ; but on the advance of our men, and the discharge of a few rockets, they retired, leaving several men dead ; and many others, who had the temerity to fire from the houses as our men passed along the streets shared the same fate. In this movement, I regret to say that Lieutenant Fitzjames, one seaman, and one marine of the Cornwallis, were severely wounded. The operations of this day were executed under a burning sun, with the thermometer above 90, and the loss of life in consequence has been serious ; in addition to those killed and wounded in action I have to lament the loss of Brevet-Major Uniacke, an old and distin. guished officer of the Royal Marines, and one private of the Plover, who died from the effect of the sun, and I fear the army did not lose less than sixteen from the same cause. The movements were so entirely military that I can but ex3ress my admiration of the energy and ability , with which they were conducted by my Gallant Col league, the General ; and it is with renewed pleasure that I again report the zeal and gallantry evinced by every officer and man of the Royal and Indian Navy and Royal Marines under my command, which has been equally manifested in bringing the fleet up this river, as in the subsequent operations on shore, in which they have been engaged. I inclose a list of the ships present in the Yang. tse lieang, of the killed and wounded, and also of the names of the officers of the squadron who were from circum stances most conspicuously engaged on the 21st. It is unnecessary to speak further on the share which Captain Richards and his companions had in the assault on the outworks of the city; they will no doubt be pro perly appreciated by their Lordships. Lieutenant Ten nant, my Flag Lieutenant, took a prominent part in the attack of the Tartar troops in the city. Lieutenant Fitzjames (severely wounded), a highly de serving officer, has already distinguished himself on dif ferent occasions. Lieutenant Stoddart showed excellent judgment and good conduct in command of the flotilla of armed boats. Lieutenant Crouch, of the Blonde, I have already no ticed, and the steadiness of Messrs. Jenkins and Lyon, midshipmen of that ship, who were in the advanced boats is spoken of as highly creditable to them. Captains Loch and Napier, R.N., who accompanied the expedition as volunteers, also participated in the ac tive operations of the day. The loss of the land forces, I fear, is not less than 19 killed and 107 wounded in action, three missing, and 16 who died from the effects of the sun ; that of the Chinese must be immense, as, independently of those who fell i action incredible numbers of the Tartars (in some cases including whole families) have unhappily died by their own hands ; their force within the city is supposed to have amounted to three or four thousand. Twenty guns were mounted on the walls, which, with numerous jingalls, matchlocks, and other arms, and a considerable quantity of powder, have all been destroyd. About 50,000 dollars' worth of Sycee silver was also found in the treasury, which has been embarked. The troops intended for the operations higher up the river will be re-embarked as soon as possible, and, as the report of the navigation upwards is favourable, I trust the expeditionary forces will soon renew operations at Nankin, if not arrested by overtures for peace from the Chinese Goverhment, which may be consistent with the terms intimated by her Majesty's Government.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, W. PARKER, Vice-Admiral. To the Secretary of the Admiralty.

A DVZRTISEMENT.] THE CAO ITT The termination of this affair, as announced in the report of the proceedings before Sir Peter Laurie, at Guildhall, on Thursday last, must have been highly satisfactory to the worthy Alderman, and affords a striking and gratifying proof of the gentle but irresisti ble power of public opinion, operating through the medium of the Press, in redressing wrongs for which the law has not provided a remedy. An important " moral lesson " has also been read in this case to the members of the legal profession which they will not easily forget, and for which, if we may judge from the imprecations, " not loud, but deep," which have reached us, we expect they will not easily forgive Sir Peter. The best advice that can be offered to them under the circumstances, is that contained in the words of Divine truth, addressed to an unhappy cul prit taken in flagrante delicto, " Go—and sin no more ;" and to Sir Peter Laurie the public will doubt less say, " Persevere in despite of clamour, misrepre sentation, and even obloquy, and obtain the best, and probably the only reward, you seek—the sympathy and unbought approbation of your fellow-citizens." "Ne cede malls, sed contra audentior ito." - CORONERS' INQUESTS. SUDDEN DEATH.--Yesterday evening an inquest was taken before Mr. lliggs, at the Fleece, Tothill street, Westminster, on the body of Harriet Molcher, a fine girl, aged fifteen. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased, who lived with her parents at 69, Tothill-street, was a very healthy girl. She on Thursday morning last complained of great thirst, and requested her mother to make her same toast and water, which she had no sooner taken than she fell down as if in a fit. Her father ran for medical assistance, and Mr. Heath, surgeon, in the neighbourhood, ordered him to hurry home again and apply warm cloths to the stomach, and he (Mr. Beath) would follow instantly. • Before the father returned, the girl had died, and Mr. Heath called in about an hour and a half afterwards, but could assign no cause for death. The Foreman of the Jury said that Westminster surgeons had acquired an unenviable notoriety for. gross carelessness in cases like the present; and another Juror said a short time ago g a neighbour of his was suddenly taken dange'rously ill, and he ran out for a surgeon : he went to three or four, who, re fused to attend, as the patient was a very poor man, and their fee was uncertain ; he afterwards went to Mr. Wright, surgeon to St. Margaret's workhouse, and he refused to attend without an order from the Board of Guardians Verdict—Died by the Visitation of God. Mr. Baker held an inquest yesterday forenoon at the Shopkeepers' Head, Jubilee .place, Stepney, on the body of Elizabeth Batch, aged sixty-five. rederick Batch stated that the deceased was his mother, and he (witness) was obliged frequently to be from home till late at night ; on those occasions his mother sat up for him. Wednesday night he did not quit work till very late, and going home knocked at the door, which was opened by his sister, who had got out of bed for that purpose. He asked where his mother was; and, ascertaining that she was not in bed, he got a light, and after. examining about the premises, found her lying at the bottom of a flight of steps which led to the garden. A surgeon was called in, who, on examining her neck, said it was broken. Verdict—Found Dead. NEW WORK RI( THE AUTHOR OF " PAUL PRY."— The laughter-loving public are again indebted to Mr. Poole for an i n fi n i te store o f amu sement, by the publi cati▪ on of his " Phine a s Quiddy." It is not at all un likely that thi s new wor k w ill outstrip in popularity even " Little Pedlington" itself. In it Mr. Poole has presented us with a set of characters, at once so mirth-provoking and so strikingly original , as it would be in vain to look for elsewhere in the wide range of modern fiction. Phineas Quiddy, the shrewd, grasp.. ing, usurer, who, by di n t o f " Sheer Industry," as he terms it, wins hi s way to th e s ummit of his ambition, " A Hundred Thousand Pounds" —his future wife, who traps him , in his own snare, the ambiguous Miss Honoria St. Eg remon t_h e r friend, Mrs. Fleeter, the bustling, intrig u i ng, yet honest - hearted lodging house-keeper--Mrs. Niobe Woefield , t h e " W o man Of Sorrows," and proprietress of " Starveleigh Cot tage, Pestertou"—lscariot llitchflat, the rascally attorney, and his companion Lord Fitznoodle—the dashing, sporting banker, Mr. Harry Scott, " of the firm of Whabble and Scott"—the gentle Janet Grey, and her benevolent benefactress old Widow Sander. son—the acute an d eccentric Scotch Doctor, Al . Squills—Grubb the laconic lawyer—the turtle lovi▪ ng Sir G ag Ch es hire--his matchmaking lady, with their• " unmarried" daughters and Little Pickle of a son---form a scr i es of person ations of character a s satirically humourous, as they are true to life and nature.

The general quality of the bullock supply being very inferior, the beef trade was heavy at barely Monday's quotations. The numbers of sheep were scanty, yet the inquiry for them was very slow, at late rates. Fine small Calves, being scarce, commanded quite as much money; but other qualities were purchased on easier terns. The Pork trade was dull, vet we can quote no material alteration in prices. The receipts from Ireland this , week have been 5 Beasts, 8 Calves,, and 49 Pigs.

The voyage extended from a little way above the fishing lodge to near the bridge, which was safely accomplished, the bark, however, being impelled apparently more by the force of the current than the exertions of the harnessed birds. In case of accident, it was accompanied by a number of boats, but the whole landed safely amid much ap plause.—Perth paper. BOROUGH HOP MARKET. The official declaration of the old duty at 169,7761. 6s. Old., and the new at 125,486/. 16s. 71d., has produced extreme heaviness in our market for all des criptions of hops, the holders of which have been com pelled to give way in price. East Kent, in pockets, 51. 10s. to 6/. 6s. ; Mid Kent ditto, 51. ss. to 6/. ; Sussex, 41. Ips. to Si. Bs. ; Farnhams, 8/. to 10/. ; Old Hops, 31. to 41. ss. COLONIAL. SUGAR.—The same inactivity still prevails in British Plantation as noticed for some weeks past, and although no further reduction can be quoted, rather lower prices have been accepted for the inferior sorts. The transactions only amount to about 800 casks, in clusive of 136 casks brought to anction, the whole of which found ready buyers at 60s Gd to 68s for low to fine quality, being fully former prices for these de scriptions, which are rather scarce. _ _ AioLAssEs.—The business done has been confined to a few small parcels, at previous rates. MAURITIUS.-4,462 bags sold, but went off heavily at 57s to 65s for low to fine greyish' yellow, and low to good brown at 49s to 565, being generally about former prices, excepting for the lower sorts, which in most instances must be quoted is cheaper. BENGAL.—OnIy a very limited business has been done privately, and prices must consequently be con sidered nominal. FOREIGN.—There has been an improved demand (in consequence of the favourable accounts received from Holland), which caused holders to ask higher prices : 2,400 boxes yellow Havannah (chiefly of old importation) having been sold privately at 20s 6d, and a small portion at 20s ; 200 chests brown and yellow, at 19s ; 600 bags Paraiba, damps and washed, at 18s; more business would have been done but for the want of parcels offering. The public sales have contained 200 chests Bahia, and 2,246 baskets Java ; the former all sold, excepting a few lots which were taken in at 24s to 25s 6d for middling to good middling white; at 21s to 23s 6d for very low yellowish to low mid dling white, and low brown to good greyish yellow at Iss 6d to 20s. The Java all found buyers (nearly all for export), and went off with spirit at 17s 6d to 20s for mid to fine brown, and strong low greyish yellow to mid white at 20s 6d to ..24.s 6d, which prices confirm the improvement already noticed, particularly the low and mid. For refining in bond scarcely any transactions have taken place, prices for most descriptions being above that which the refiners can afford to pay. REFINED.—lhere has been more demand for crushed, and several large parcels have been sold at 25s to 2.5 s 3d, which is rather dearer. In the early part of the week there was very little doing in grocery de scriptions, and rather lower rates were accepted, but since there has been decidedly more firmness and more disposition shown to purchase. COFFEE.-519 bags Ceylon, and 1,121 bags La Guayra, were all taken in (excepting about 200 bags damaged Ceylon), the former at 62s 6d to 67s for good ord pale to fine ord coleury, being about previous prices.' The La Guayra was also bought, for good and fine ord, and a small portion of mid coloury at 65s to 725. There has been rather more demand privately for the Ceylon, and a few parcels have been sold at 63s for good ord quality, which is a shade dearer. Foreign sorts remain almost without demand ; there has, however, been more disposition shown to purchase the lower descriptions of East India, either for export or on speculation, and for the parcels dis posed of rather higher prices have been obtained, good to fine Padang having been sold at 27s to 29s 6d, but the transactions have not been extensive. • COCOA.-341 bags Trinidad sold at 30s to 33s 6d for ord grey to good•mid red, which is a further de cline of Is. Privately very little business has been done. Rum.-200 puns Jamaica have been sold at 2s 10d to 3s 10d for 28 to 36 per cent. overproof to mid to fair quality ; and good ditto 34 to 36 over at 4s to 4s 2d, being previous prices. RICE.—The public sales have only offered 1,379 bags Bengal in bond, and 684 bags ditto, duty paid ; the whole sold, the form e r at ll s 6d a few lots, lls for good mid white, and the latter at lls to lls 6d for mid white, which are rather higher rates. There has been more inquiry privately, and a fair business has been done at improving prices. SALTPETRE.—There has been scarcely any demand, but for the parcels disposed of rather lower rates have been aceepted, 32 per cent. refraction having been sold at 275, which is a decline of ls. In Nitrate of Soda there is no change to notice. SPICES.—There has been an extensive speculative demand for Pepper (chiefly Sumatra), and nearly 10,000 bags h a v e c h ange d V hands at 24d to 30 for black Sumatra and brown Penang, also a small por tion of Malabar at 3ad to sid for good to fine heavy, which is an advance of fully id to id per lb., and there are now scarcely any parcels offering even at the extreme quotations. In Pimento or Cassia very little business has been done, and consequently no altera tion can be quoted in value. COTTON.—There has been an improved demand for this article, and a very large business has been done at continually advancing prices, establishing a rise of fully id to id per lb. since last week. TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is dull at 48s per cwt. on the spot. TEA.—The decline in this article during the week has been from hi to 2d Per lb., with very little doing. Common Congou is is 3id to is 4d per lb. k From the London. New Price Current of November 25.) SUGAR.—Without any apparent cause the market for British Plantation Sugar remains in a dull state ; both grocers and refiners - have operated with much caution, the private purchases for the three market days amount ing to only 700 hhds and trcs, at prices which show a de cline on those of Friday last of 6d per cwt. To-day importers of West India Muscovadoes Sugar manifested firmness, and obtained full rates ; the trade came forward more freely, and a fair business was trans acted. The purchases for the week are 1,150 hhds and trcs, the market closing with a healthier-appearance. REFINED.--To-day the market was firmer for Refined Sugar, and the demand is good from the Grocers ; standard lumps selling at 745, and brown Grocery 72s to 72s 6d per cwt. In other articles there is no variation. MAURITIUS.—Previous rates have been sustained, and a fair demand has prevailed. This afternoon there was no public sale. Yellow sorts were sought after, and in some case better prices were paid. EAST INDIA.—For Manilla the demand has been brisk 'this week, and an advance in prices has again taken place. Java has been in increased request at an advance of 6d to is per cwt. Holders of Bengal have shown firm ness, and have refrained from offering any at public sale. This afternoon some parcels of white Bengal were sold privately at full rates : none was oflered at auction. FOREIGN.—To -day yellow Havannah was wanted, but the advanced rates required operated against business, and 1,886 boxes at auction were all taken in much above the value—viz., low at 20s to 20s 6d, mid 21s to 21s Gd, and good 22s to 22s 6d per css t, but a part has since been sold a trifle under these rates. MOLASSES.—HoIders of West India Molasses remain firm, and supply the market sparingly. Fine Antigua, at 30s Gd to 31s; St Vincents good 28s 6d, and common 25s 6d per cwt; Bengal Syrup at 24 s to 26 s 6; Foreign at 7s to 7s 6d. Honey 30s to 70s, according quality. COCOA. —A good demand has prevailed for West. India this week, the low prices tempting the trade to come forward. For Foreign there are several orders at full rates. RUM, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS.—We have to reprt a firm market for all descriptions of Rum this week ; Jamaica 28 to 32 per cent overproof middling quality at 2s 10d to 3s 2d, 34 to 36 over better quality 3s 8d to 3s 10d, 34 to 36 over good 4s to 4s 2d, and fine 4s 3d to 4s 6d per gallon. Leewards at is 9d to is 10d proof: Demerara at 2s 10d to 3s for 28 to 30 per cent overproof. East India Rum is dull of sale ; Is 3d to Is 7d is the value of proof j with certificate.

Demerara, fine ord Ws to 71s, good ord 55s to 675, ord 50s, and triage 265 to 48s ; Java was taken at 46a to 46s 6d for good ord pale greenish , and one lot 48s ; Laguayra bought in at 64s to 663 for fine ord colony, and fine ord 61s to 62s Gd ; mocha taken in at 77s for mid brown, and very ord 45s ; Ceylon 63s to 63s 6d paid for good ord. TEA.—The final settlement of the misunderstanding between this country and China, has had a very able effect on our Tea market, which h as been in a very dull and depressed state all the week. T o-da y the trans actions were extremely limited in pric e, a he marketnd tbe closed with a hea"y appearance ; prices cannot quoted with certainty. favour- SPICES.— of This afternoon 830 bags Sumatra, 195 bags white Pepper, and 280 chests Cassia Li g nea, were - fered at auction ; Sumatra Pepper taken in at a further advance, ordinary very stalky and du st y at 3d, and the white sold as follows :—Good at B d , fi ne 9d to 91( 1 , on d very fine at lid ; the Cassia Lignea went with l ess spirit at is decline ; mid selling at 903 to 94s,per cvvt..
