[From the London Nes Price Current, Jan. 21]

COTTON.—The Cotton market is quiet ; the sales are consic.ir.
able, without the slightest variation in the prices.
COFFEE—The public sale of Coffee yesterday went off wh
much spirit ; the Jamaica descriptions sold freely at prices 2s.
cwt. higher, the Demerara and Berbice at an irregular Mime,.
meat of fis. a 10s. per cwt. ; the business dune by private contr.tt
has also been extensive. There were two extensive public sales oi
St. Domingo Coffee this forenoon ; the whole of the sound, in
first sale, withdrawn at 605., no offers ; the other, good ordinwy,
sold 5135. 6d. a 595. Foreign Coffee is not higher than last week;
the qualities which arc advanced are those used for home consunip.
tion ; and, as we have stated, Jamaica is 2t., Demerara and Be.
bite 6s. a 10s. higher than last week.
SUGAR.—The demand for Aluscovades during the week Iss
been steady, and the good and tire Sugars are becoming so scare,
and the importers hold with such liminess, that the buyers are
obliged to submit to still higher prices ; hut, though. the market
still looks improving, it is not so decidedly so as to occasion ary
alteration in the quoted currency ; no Jamaica Browns offer under
565., the others Lids. The prices of Refined goods continue to im-
prove, though the business done is not extensive • the low goals
continue at arce ; few Lumps are to be seen at 78e. ; for the firer
descriptions there is alas more inquiry, and generally the trede
looks reviving and the market firm. Molasses remain at 265. fid.
Foreign Sugars are held for higher prices, but there are few saies
lately report d.
Re3l, BRANDY, and lIOLLANDS —The Rum make,
after the extensive business lately reported, has become quiet; Ell
the advance in the prices is maintained. particularly for proof Lir-
wants, which are scarce, and the Learest quotation is Is. 61d.a
Is. fxi. ; the finer descriptions of Jamaica are not held with d,C
previous firmness, they may be bought on lower terms. Brandy is
firm ; extensive buyers of the beat marks at 31., but no parcels can
be bought under 3a. ld.—Geneva still Is. I ld. a 2s.

there is little variation in prices, but a considerable business doing

FRUlT—There has been a very lively demand for Denial. itt
baskets, from 395. to 40,.. ; none remains in the importers' bards.
Valentias are rather a dull sale at present. Pulled Turkey Figs, in
drums, have been in considerable request, and the purchases made
hy private contract were extensive, at an advance of full as. to ss.
Flat Figs are not so saleable ; in the other descriptions of Turkey
Fruit there has been a gond deal done privately at last week's prices.
There was very little animation at tither of the sales, except for
Pulled Turkey Figs in drums.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—Beef and Pork are without variation.
Bacon is lower. Butters are rather higher this week, but the mild
weather checks the market.

INDIGO.—The India sale opened at an advance of Is. 3d. a 2s.
on the line and good, and Is. higher on the ()ude, compared with
the October prices ; and the market to-day is again 61 advance on
the opening prices.

On Tuesday morning, the 4th of January, about the
hour of two o'clock, a banditti of robbers, about sixteen in
numbei broke into the house of John House, Esq. of
Tallagh, County Waterford, plundered it of all the money
it contained, together with two watches and seals, and so
ill-treated the family that they were near falling victims to
their vengeance. Their savage treatment baffles all de-
scription.—Waterford Mirror.
