COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.
blistctsto-Larra, SATURDAY MORNING.
The colonial market, have been characterised by extreme
beavineu, and to effect sales lower rates have in some in-
stances beeu accepted. The home trade buyers of Sugar
have been very reluctant to operate, and prices have declined
6d. per cwt.; for foreign descriptions a good business wu
done at in the early part of the week, although at rather
lower rates; subsequently, however, there has been more
inquiry, with little on oiler. The sales of Coffee have gone
off heavily, Native Ceylon at 6d. per cwt. decline, while the
plantation kinds have been chiefly bought in. The Dutch
Trading Company advertise 634,921 bags for their autumn
sales, to commence on the 30th proximo. The quarterly
sales of Cinnamon were held on Monday, first sorts of
Ceylon were only saleable at U. to 3d. decline, while for
2nd and 3rd torts there was good demand at Id. to 22. per
lb. advance on former rates. Very high rates are demanded
for Cassia Lignca ; a parcel wee this day bought in at about
10s. per cwt. advance. The Tea market remains quiet, and
prices unaltered: a few sales are making out of the late
arrivals.

WOOL MARKET. THIS DAY.
The colonial Wool sales at the Ball of Commerce, which
commenced on the 9th July, will close on Friday, the 6th
August. The attendance of English buyers, from the com-
mencement to the present time, has been very good ; but
very few French, German, and Belgian buyers have
mime over to there sales. Prices have been very steady
through Jut, and there is no appearance of any weakness at
the elm*, which many have suspected ; pnces, however,
have gone a shade in favour of the buyer.

METALS.—Mr. Mate's circular states that there
has been less excitement in the Scotch pig iron market this
week, but holders entertain a good opinion of the article,
and are firm at 46e. 6d. per ton cub, with buyers at 451. ;
for three months open 465. to 465. 64. is asked, f. o. b. in
Olugow. Bar iron and rails firm—the inquiry for the
latter continuos. In Staffordshire makers are not anxious
to take orders for manufactured iron at present rates, nor
for early delivery, being already full for some months.
Spelter has been quiet this week. 60 tons on the spot have
been sold at 161. 18s. 6d. per ton. Copper continues very
scarce, and the market very firm. Tin without movement.
Lead is improving—the demand very good; pig is quoted
181. per ten. Tin plates no alteration.

THE CONVICT UNDER SENTENCE OP DEATH AT
WORCESTER.—WORCEATER, TUESDAY EVENING.— The
wretched woman, Mary Robins, alias Richards, who was
sentenced to death at the assizes here last Wednesday for
the wilful murder of her ebil/41 by throwing it into a coal-
pit at Oldswenford, in this county, where it is supposed to
have lingered some time before death put a period to its suf-
ferings, hat, since her condemnation, conducted herself in
a becoming manner, though she does not appear to feel the
full weight of the awful sentence passed upon her. Active
efforts are being made to obtain a remission of the sentence,
the chief ground being an allegation that the woman is of
weak mind • but it is thought that, in consequence of the
frequency of child saurder of late. the full sentence of the
law will be carried out by way of example. It is said that
the day of the execution to already fixed, though it has not
been made public. It is along time since an execution took
place here.

WHBT INDIA PINES.—An arrival has taken place
be a vessel from Nassau, New Providence, and Eleutheria,
of the extraordinary large quantity of 52,000 pine apples,
comprising nearly the entire cargo of West India produce.
This is by far the largest quantity of pine apples which has
ever been brought on one occasion from abroad, and is,
therefore, of unusual interest, and will have the effect of
causing a continued abundance of this highly esteemed and
formerly exclusive description of fruit.
800 Th WAIFS RAlLWAY.—Arrangements are in
progress 13r extending the electric telegraph over the whole
of the South Wales Railway, se as to connect all the ports
and places on the coast with the west of England and the

Miss Britonrr Coterie has given the munificent
corn of 5,00 W, towards the coat of the erection of a new
church and schools in Limehouse.

correspondent, we learn that cholera has again broken out
in a most virulent form on the frontiers of the kingdom of
Warsaw, and that between forty and fifty eases have oc-
curred within the space of two days in the city of Warsaw.
It is further stated, that medical arrangements have bean
made in all parts of the country, with a new of being pre-
pared for the calamity, should the epidemic unhappily
again become general throughout the kingdom. The cho-
lera broke out on the 10th at Fleehon, in the Grand Duchy
of Posen, and in ten days it carried off 17 persons out et 22
who were attacked.
