I'4.WFEE.—The Coffee market lies been in such a honk! awe
for some time past, owing.to the advaßeed Reason of the teer for
export, and the absence of speculative demand, that the holdrn
ere now bringiag forwartLvery few public sales ; the quantity list
week was inconsiderable, yet quite sufficient for the demand ; the
whole went of heavily, and only a small proportion actually dis
posed of; the prices werea shade lower. By private contract there
appeared to be some request for St. Domingo Coffee, and several
rather considerable partels were taken at 57a. lid. and 58a. There
were three public sales this afternoon ; the Demerara and Berbice
were !Ain in. no buyers, and only a few lots Jamaica sold at the
.previous prices; SO casks 1,352 hags good ordinary St. Doenlego,
at the public sale, were taken in ; sitter sold by private contract. a
few lots 57.. fid. : the whole of the remainder taken at 575.
11U51,' BRANDY, and 1101. LANDS.—The purchases of
Rum last week were estimated to exceed 2,000 puncheons; Ja.
males, 31 over 34. 4d.,211 at Its. Id; the-chief sales were, however, at
Leeward., of which above I.oott puncheons were reported at teazle
one price ; a very large parcel averaging under proofs at 2s. ; prod%
at the genie rate, 4 over 2s. hi. The purchases were reported to be
made for the contractors. and also a eutisiderrible proportion for ex-
port; the request yesterday and this forenoon appears rather more
limited, yet -the market prices are telly supported. Brandy has
, become very heavy, and the prim arc lower, notwithstanding every
prospect of the opening price, in France bring much higher than
! generally anticipated. Geneva is also heavy and lower., pale Is.
10th. We have lately had small parcels of purified Spirit from the
Nrest Indies, suitable for the rectifiers here to make Erglibh
Brandy, Gin, &c. ; as a public sale of this spirit is now declared, it
is attracting some attention in our.marketa ; the strergth varies
gee erally from 30 to 40 over ; a parcel 45 over was sold at 4s. for
a parcel to arrive 55 over ss. lid. has been refused ; the spirit ap.
pears to be divested of all flavour of slum, and real be stated tubs
nearly. if not altogether, pure spirit.
DlGo.—The quotations of Indigo are notulttel, on account
of the commencement of the sale this morning at the India House:
the prices are going Is. Gd. a 2s. per lb. on the tine, Is. Bth. a
per Ih. on the good, aad 2s. a 3s. per lb. on the middling and oral.,
nary qualities, higher than lust sale. Only 431 lots have been
sold. and the French are almost the exclusive buyers.
PROVISIONS.—There is little doing in Beef et Pork,-
bat theprices are maintained. Bacon is steady. Foreign Batters
have fallen about ss. per twt. ; the Irish is also minimally abort
2.. lower. • .
_ _

(1 LS.—There are as yet no accounts from.the Davis Straits
fishery : very serious fears are now entertained respecting the
safety of the vessels. The holders of Oil are asking higher prices,
but the sales lately reported are not extensive.
BPICES.—The Spice market is very heavy.
FRUIT.—A parcel of new French was offered at public sale on
Wednesday. and went off exceedingly heavy. The early period at
which this Fruit has been brought to market (long before there as
a demand for It) has caused the few lots that were sold to go at very
low prices, viz.—quarter and Ilall barrels Prunes ids. a 41‘.;
perials in small boxes 1083. a 117 s. ; in baskets 71. 71.: Cartoons
61. tfa. to 61. Lis. quarter chest*: French Plums ties. to 701. ; New
Jordan Almonds in boxes 101. Bs. to 101. I Is. : Cape Raisins 48s.
a 50s. ; Currants are sought after ; Red Smyrna Raisins are now
very scarce, 50s. was given hat week ; the holders are demanding
higher prices. Valentias also are higher, and it is with difficulty
any can be obtained. There is a less stock of Fruit in the market
at the close of the reason this year, than there has been for some
years past, and therefore holds out rather a favoulable prospect for
the Imports of new; in ad litton to which. the Fruit in thsaicuth
of Spain is reported to be nearly destroyed by the rains.
HEMP. FLAX, and TALLOW.—The Tallow Market mr.
tinues firm, but there is not much doing ; new 395. ; for antral the
lame. Hemp is 421. a 431. In Flax there is little variation..
Tallow fordelivery—Shipment,Aug. and Sept. 18253 395.
For the last 3 months' delivery, 38s. 92. a 951.
Free on board, - .

hemp in bond, . 37/.
SILK.—The Silk trade remains in a very depressed state.
TEA.—The declaration of Tea for next sale will be out to-
morrow ; the market continues firm, except Bobeas, whicit are
rather premed for sale.
TOBACCO.—The Trade continues to take off small pace's of
Tobacco for immediate use, at vcry full prices. It is reported a
large' contract of between lioo and 700 lihds. his been made, sad
we believe the rumour is correct, but no particulars asto prices.
&c. have yet transpired.
RICE.—By public sale this forenoon, 130 1% hole, 50 half barrel
good quality Carolina, all taken in at 40s.

STATE OE NEWGATE.—In consequenceof the emiplaiLt;
of a man named Clarke, now confined in Newgite for
selling blasphemous publications, there has been an inves-
tigation into the conduct of a prisoner named Jorgensen,
whe was employed as luperintendant of the infirmary of
that gaol. The inquiry, Which was instituted on the sug-
gestion of Mr. Peel, has been conducted by the Lora
Mayor and Mr. Alderman Wood. As the evidence has not
been permitted to tianspire, we have no means of Judging
of the extent to which the above charges have been sus-
rained by it, otherwise than by its results, which are the
dismissal of Jorgenson from his situation, and rereersl
to the hulks, and the appointment of an assistant-surrecr,
who. is to xeside constantly sin the prison.
