to make an impression upon speculators. The

PBODUCE.—MINCING-LOIS, Half-past Tim—
The to opened alteration in the Sugar duties, has b -en the
topic of p nversation in the market to-day, and we find it
vi ry unpopul .r. The importers of British plantation say,
that the boon given them is insuffi -ient, while the importers
of foreign complain, with great justice, that a breach of frith
has been c.fmmittese by violating the act of IS4G, which wag
prospective, and beneficially coming into operatiou on the
sth July next, under which act large orders have been Rent
to purchase foreign Sugar, and severe loss will accrue if
the prtsent proposition be carried into efr et, as the
differehtial duty will be really augmented 2a. 6d. per
cwt.. ie. by the decrease on British plantation of lc
publicly announced • and Is. 61., covertly affixed by a new
re diffential duty of is. 61. on foreign brown flayed. ac fully
Pin•-•entha &the foreign Sugar imported will he liable to
it and pay the 20e. duty. The market would, they fore, have
pr forced an open declared Protection of 7s. per cwt., as all
differential duties work irregularly and v. xiviously. The
special pleading by which the extra duty of Is. 6d. on foreign
brown claycd is attempted to be supported is too weak
to be entertai..c.l by any practical man in the mar-
ket, an foreign brown clayed" is not a stronger
Smear than the average of brown West India, and the latter
commands rather better comparative prices, the 'diners,
who buy for strength, preferring them. Tee term
cloyed is a mere name tiven to one process in
the manufacture of foreign Sugar, and the same
restit is obtain.d by the West India planter by
a different process. Yet, by usage, West India
Sugar, however fine, is imported under t'e name of Musco-
vado. We are without transactions to report in Sugar
to-day, as neither buyers nor sellers have confidence enough
in the present measure being carried —There are several
soles of Sugar, Coffee, and Saltpetre, advertis. sl for to-
mezrow.

TALLOW.—TaIIow is firm at 453. There is an
unusually great demand for Tallow, the delivery of last week
being 1,1it13 casks, against an average of 750 casks for this
semion of the year. The trade are also buying for forward
delivr ry, the prices of which are—for Oct. to Dec. delivery,
435. Gd. ; separate months' delivery, 44e.

POTATOES.—SouruwAnii, WATERSIDE, June 19.
—Trade the put week has been very heavy, particularly
with stele Regents, which are scarcely saleable at any price ;
the tollnwing are the quotations: York Regents, 60s. to
1203 ; Reds, 120.. to 14th.; Wisbech Regents, 60s. to 905.;

WINCHESTER, June 17.—The market remains in pretty
much the same state u last reported. A correspondent
speaks from personal observation of the luxuriant and health-
ful appearance of the bine in adjacent plantations.
FARNRAM.—The " heart round " deficient a splendid
appearance, particularly where the crop was last rear, the
bine twiner= to 25 feet in length from tbe bottom of ibe poles,
the intr. and tendrils looking most healthy, without either flea or fiy.
A .light honey dew has shown during the last two nights, but not to
any extent, so to be feared. The oth,r gardens area
are also
very promising.—CaereALL.—Tbe Lop plantations, though not 80
strong as at Farnham, are looking well.--Biocrurys.—Wc heard of
some gardens being attacked with the fly, and mute honey dew ; but
generally speaking the plants look well,and are very strongand vigorous.
—Ounisis. —The growers here seem indifikrent about their gat era,
yet the bine is o'ertopping the pales In spite of them.—Faorne—
The fields are well managed, and the hops generally doing weIL—
BIXMAD.—Some of the gardens are not so good as inn year, yet, up
to the present time, the pant seems free from blight or destructive
insects —Antos.--Tbe gardens in this district are growing Out,
and looking exceedingly promising, far exceeding the !Mar-
i arse of la 4 year. The duty Ia laid at from 170,0001. to 180,0001.
ior all England, and 10,0001. to 12.000/, for the Emil= district.
Those who never saw Ms teaudfal plant grow, would not
regret going a few miles cut ot their way to Nee the gardens
about Farnham at the present moment, the rows many
parts bang covered in, and the &rewire looking like a forest
of young WOW, rather than a plant sprung up in so abort a time.—
