(From the LondonaVeve Pries Current 1

Ty EIIDAT, SEPT. 21.
COTTON.-The business done in Cottons during the last week
has been too inconsiderable to enumerate ; the purchases are con.
fined to small parcels for shipment. The quotations of the East
India descriptions must be coneidered nominal, until the event of
the India House sale is ascertained; it takes place on Friday.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 18.
Our Cotton market was rather more animated during the latter
part of the week, but the holders having met the demand firmly,
we have to notice a decline in price of id. per lb. in some instances;
the principal purchases have been in lioweds and Alabama".
SUGAR.-The demand fur Muscovado considerably revived
last week, and as several of the holders were inclined to sell at
prices a shade lower, to induce the buyers to come forward, pur.
chases to some extent were reported. There has been little busi-
ness effected in Aluscovades this forenoon, chiefly owing to the
public sales advertised, as the buyers wished to ascertain the event
of the sales, previously to purchasing : the market by private con-
tract was in consequence without interest, heavy, and the sales in.
considerable. The public sale of St. Lucia sugars consisted of
201) hhds ; the whole sold heavily at prices Is. per cwt. under' the
previous currency of the market, 525. 6d. a 575. The Barbadoes
Sugar, 130 casks, sold at previous rates, 555. a 675. id. in Re-
fined Goods there was liule alteration; the tine descriptions were
neglected ; the low were In request, and sold at full prices.-The
only price for 31olassis, 255. 6d. There is no alteration in the Re.
fined market this forenoon; low goods go of at the pievious prices;
there is no demand for the finer descriptions.-Molasses still 255. 6d.
In Foreign Sugars there was little alteration. •
COFS EE.-The public sales* of Coffee last week went off very
heavily, and all the ordinary descriptions of British Plantation and
Foreign were Is. a 2s. per cwt. loser; all the qualities from mid.
dling to fine maintained the forriter currency, and sold freely;
St. Domingo, of middling quality, sold 61s. 6d. There were two
public sales of Coffee this figenoon, 163 casks British Plantation,
583 bags Foreign ; the latter good ordinary pals St. Dotningo,
rather mixed, Ms. o 61s. 64. and 621. The British Plantation
Coffee went off steadily at the prices of last week ; the middling
and fine continue to sell at exceedingly high prices. Generally of
the Coffee market to-day, there is more appearance of firmness than
for some time past.
SPICES.-There continues to be some request for Nutmegs at
2s. lid. and 3s. Id.; Pimento of good guality still realises Bjd. ;
in Black Pepper titers is little alteration ; White Pepper has ad-
vanced Is. per lb., owing to the loss of a vessel whit a large quan-
tity on board, and she East India Company having none in the
warehouses. By public sole this forenoon, 46 begs Mauritius
Cloves sold Is. 19d. a 2s.
SILK--The Silk trades continues very brisk, Bengal. and
Chinas at the advance of Is. a 12.6 d. per lb. on the late India House
sale prices, and the request extensive atthe improvement.
H 'MP, FLAX, and TALLOW-The Tallow market has
been very heavy ; yellow candle Tallow of 111'23 quoted 345. 3d.
and new Ms. 9d.; and fur August and September shipments
34*. 94. The last letters front Petersburgh state the prices of
ISO roubles; Exchange 91d.-Hemp is a shade lower,-In Flax
there is no &kennel:. There appears some revival in the demand
fur Tallow this morning, and at 4 o'clock Tallow of 11123 may be
quoted 345. 9d. ; 11124, 3.35. 6d.-Hemp is also in more request, sod
rather higher.
RUM, BRANDY, and lIOLLANDS.-The accounts front
France respecting the vintage are very unfavourable; the prices of
Brandy are from 44. a lid. per gallon higher than in London ; the
quantity here prevents any advance, but the market is evidently
hewer; the nominal price of Brandy housed 2s. 7d.; the state of
the trade, from the late failure, prevents any transactions in Spirits.
Ram remains nominally the sante as we have lately quoted, but the
purchases lately reported are quite inconsiderable.-For the Geneva
on the quay Is. 104. is asked, but there are as yet no purchasers.
The first sale of Brandy for some time is just reported, housed et
2s. 74.
OILS.---It is now confidently anticipated that very bad accounts
will be received respecting the Davis Straits Fishery ; it is supposed
the vessels have proceeded too far to the noctliward, Of into Lan. I
caster Sound, as the northern navigator* have held out every in-
ducement to the Fishers to proceed to the latter, and that they may
be shut in by the ice ; the market is completely nominal ; Green.
and Oil, new parcels Mt. ; Seed Oils are rather lower.

IRISH PROVISIONS.—The approach of the Government
contract excites much interest ; the prices of Beef and Pork remain
nominally the same as lately quoted--Bacon is unvaried—Butters
are rather heavy, but the appearance of cold read= rill, no douht
improve the demand.
FRUIT.—Fine Currants have become rather scarce, and the
demand generally has considerably improved. Red Smyrna Raisins
continue to go off at the present quotations; in toe other de-
scriptions there is no alteration. There is a very considerable arrival
of Almonds.
SALTPETRE.—By public sale this forenoon, 35 tons Saltpetre,
.no refraction, 21s. a 21s. fat.

It has been calculated, that the corn destroyed by game,
in the county of Hants alone, would be sufficient to main-
tain two thousand people for a year, and that the labour of
persons imps iaoucd in the same county for offences against
the Game Laws, would be adequate to carry on a manu-
factory of silk, woollen, or cotton, employing a capit3l of
100,0001.-31 orriing taper.
