PRODUCE MARKETS.--The weekly reviews from the
Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce markets state that
there was increased activity, and that the advanced quo-
tations for sugar were maintainei with much firnmeip.
The transactions both in raw and refined ha 3 been ex-
tensive, speculative purchases having augmented. In
other articles business had not proved important, but
rates exhibited strength. The letters from Rouen men-
tion that the market for manufactures was inanimate.
NEW LUNACY COMMISSIONER.—The Lord Chancellor
has appointed Dr. James Wilkes, of the Staffordshire
Lunatic Asylum, to the Commis•ionership in Lunacy,
vacant by the resignation of Dr. Turner.
