[From the London New Pr ice Curreat of Friday, July 21.1

Bengal, 80 Egyptian.
At a late hour to-day the inquiries by private contract ratherin.
creamed ; 230 bags sold.
SIUDA 14.—.1 he show of new Sugars has been considerable this
week, and, as the trade were entirely out ef stock, thepurcbases
ue
rather extensive, and they have been promoted by the im
meeting the demand freely, and selling at prices a shade lower dean
last week. Tu.day the inquiries are not an extensive, owing to th,
check given by the public sales, the buyers waiting the event in
hopes of lower prices. There were three public sales this formic).

tined market has been heavy all the week, the wholemie grocers not
I purchasing so extensively as formerly for the home consumption,
and the strippers not appearing to buy for the present. At Meeks":
of the day the market appeered short el goods ; 1.0 Lumps der
(74.. and 73s_ the nominal Fines), and very few goods of my de.

COk FEk.l..—The Coffee market is in a very feverish and tea.
certain state; the Jamaica descriptions, good and tine crdisary
particularly, which have lately, from their scarcity, rated 2s. a 4s.
higher in proportion than any other qualities, sold on Wednesday
4s. and as. per cat. lower; good to tine ordinary coloury, 430. a
445. At the large public sale of yesterday, the seller was not in-
clined to submit to this decline, and, in consequence, nearly the
whole sale was taken in; there was scarcely any Coffee market ;
the few lots sold were nearly at the prices current pre% inus to d e
decline which we have noticed. There is no Coffee market. The
two sales to-day have been nearly all taken in ; the holders will not
sell at the reduction we have stated; St. Domingo for money, has
been sold at 425.; a parcel of good ordinary, 4.1 a. Gd.; sad toe fine
' ordinary 445. has been refused. We state the prices general
la. a 2s. lower titan on this day week, but a very feverish and un-
certain market.

RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—There continues to
be a great talk about Rum, and considerable inquiries, but the
actual transactions are not extensive ; the market is, howevst,
and improving; no ',awards now utter under Is. Ilkl., and indeed
it is difficult to purchase to-day at that rate ; the chief sales lately
are in Leewards ; Jamaica Hum is little varied. Brandy hat
again given way ; it is fully as low as previously to the new
gulations. Geneva is unvarsed.
INDIGO.—The East India Company's sale of Indigo tenni.
nared yesterday. The quantity brought forward was 6,910 chess,
consisting of 5,043 Bengal, 553 Madras, ill Manilla, 3 Jars,
and 1,208 Oude, the latter being the refused of former sales. The
sale opened with spirit, end continued the same to the end, itn.
proving a little in prices as it pmceeded, being well supportsd'by
the proprietors, who are unwilling to submit to lower rates, berg
at.out the same as the Company 'it sale in April last, vritli ehc
exception of the better qualities, which are a little lower. The
purchases have been almost entirely for Foreign account, not hoot
any want of demand at home, but the want c f means to purchase.
The quantity bought in consists of about 8.50 chests Bengal, 21st
Madras, 100 :Vanilla, and 950 Oude; the latter being neglected
from the heavy stock on hand, arid the Manila from its being but
little known in this country, and only brought bete occasionally.
Besides the quantity bought in, 114 chests have been widnlrawn,
and 1112 chests passed, being put up at prices upon which there
were no bidders.
FRU! F.—The demand for Valencia Raisins continues brisk,
but, in consequence of the importers demanding higher prices, the
sales have been checked for the present; red Sn.ytna and Cara.
bourns Raisins have also been in more request ; in the other de.
scriptions there is little alteration. By public sale this fo enoon,
569 barrels 145 half cheats red Smyrna Raisins, 101 quarter chests
Carabourna Raisins, 44,. a 411 x.; 150 barrels black Smyrna ditto,
38s. not sold.
COC lIINEAL.—By public sale this forenoon, a small parcel of.
Cochineal, the Silver was bought in 14s. a 14s. Gd., the Black
lfts. a 17s.
HOPS.—The accounts from the country respecting Hops are not
so favourable; the duty is now estimated at 180,0001.
TOBACCO.—There are no transactions in Tobacco worth de-
porting.
SPlCES.—Spices are nearly neglected.
HEMP, t LAX, and TALLOW.—The Tallow marker, wh,ch
teethed 335. lid. is rather lower to-clay, 335. 3d. and heavy. Mt
' advances, on account of the destruction of the crops: Petersbure,
1.2 head, 33/. ; Riga P 'l' It 37/. Hemp is rather lower.

SMITIIFIE14:0, FRIDAY, JCLY 21.

The beasts at market to-day being short in number, and the
quality mostly indifferent, but little business bas been done in
Beef, and the prices have not varied from those of Monday. Sheen
are in demand, and the appearance of rain having aho influenced
the market, there is an advance on Mutton of full 2,1. per stone.
Lamb, on the contrar7, was deeding, and Ss. 6d. was the price cf
the best qualities. 1, eal continues plentiful ; but the quality ie
inferior, and the trade heavy at as. per stone for the best. Pork has
'risen 4d. per atone.

BURLINGTON (VT.) JUNI: 2.--:-ThsTazsst NG CIRCO('
STANCE.—A child in Colchester.• about '23 months old,
was missed by its parents on Tuesday, the 23t1 ult. A
search was immediately commenced •by the parents and
those of the neighbourhood, and continued during the
night and afternoon of the following day, which proved
unsuccessful. The alarm was given in this village on WO.
nesday afternoon, by the ringing of the bells, and several
of the citizens repaired with promptitude to the &veal
of the unfortunate parents, and commenced a diligent
search through the forests and adjoining fields, which
was kept up until late in the evening, when tilt),
returned without haring made any discovery. nr
this time, so severe was the affliction of the ta,,-
titer of the child that she became, mentally deranged.--
Early on Thursday morning the alarm was again given,
and several hundreds recommenced the search, which was
attended with as little success as formerly, until latent the
afternoon, when tracks were found ; but they were still
under the painful necessity of returning without further
success. On Friday morning the party again met, and
dispersed in different directions, with but faint hopes of
finding the child alive ; but were, however, happily disap-
pointed. It was found in the afternoon, in Sunderland
Hollow, on the bank of a stream, caught by its clothes on
a bush, about two miles from home, and restored to its
parents, after having been lost three days and three nights,
whose overjoyed feelings can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Although the child was extremely weak when
found, we understand it is now fast rec)vering.—Americun
