(From the London New Price Cerrent, Dee.3l I
COT TON.—The Cotton market has been particularly quiet this
week ; the sales are too incocsiderable to enumerate, not exceeding
200 bags; the prices are a shade lower.
SUUAR.—There have been no 31uscovades on show this week;
the news from Jamaica, as to the state of the Island, is unfavour-
able: it will probably effect the market priors, on the openieg of
the trade on Tuesday next. There have been considerable in-
quiries after Refined goods both yesterday and this forenoon, and
there is every appearance of an improving market ; the prices for
the present are not altered, but the holders are firm, in the amides.
Lion of a higher currency. Molasses are 265. &I. In Foreign
Sugars no purchases are reported.
COFFEE.—There have been no public sales of Coffee this week ;
the inquiries are considerable, and it is now evident the orders
in town for the Continent are extensive, but they are still limited
to very low prices; we believe there are no purchases by private
contract; the market, in consequence, may be stated nominally
the same as the proceeding week.
TALLOW and HEMP—The Tallow market has been very
heavy, on account of the failures; the price of the new was 375.
but the demand has since improved, and the nearest quotation up
till a late hour to-day is 375. 6d. Hemp is steady at 421. At a
late hour to.day New Tallow could be purchased at 375. 3d.
SPICES.—There have been sales of Nutmegs at ss. sd. the
quotation is in consequence be. 4d. a bs. sd. In other Spices three
la no alteration, and very little business doing. At the close of the
market to-day the inquiries after Pepper were renewed with great
briskness ; good light sold at kid. and Sid. and for good heavy bid.
was refused.

RUM, BRANDY, and lIOLLANDS.—The Rum Market is
still firm, but there Is little business doing ; beewards are parties.
larly inquired after, and offers at the present currency made freely,
but the holders will not sell except at an advance, which has ret
yet been obtained. Brandy continues steady, Se. a 3e. Id. Some part
of the recent arrivals of Geneva have been sold at 2s. on account of
the scarcity, but as the prices have fallen in Holland, lower prices
are anticipated here by the trade; in consequence the sales are
quite inconsiderable.
At a late hour to-day, 600 puncheons Demerara Rum were soil
at la. 6d. from 6 to 6 Oa'.
RICE.—The insuiries after Rice are still considerable, and for
ordinary Bengal lis. 6d. has been offered and refused; Carolirs
35e. a 38a. ; but few sales of Rice are lately reported.

As a Mr. Jones was returning to London, on horseback,
about half-past nine on Wednesday evening, near Welling,
he rode against the leaders of one of the night coaches.
which pitched him completely under the wheels of the
coach, both of which passing over his chest, killed him or.
the spot. No blame whatever is attributable to the coach-
man.—Kentish Gazette.
