THE STORM OF SUNDAY.

The thunderstorm which visted the metropolis on
Sunday evening, mentioned in yesterday's paper, cm-
sioned a serious loss of property in IYa!worth, and in the
vicinity of Greenwich and Blackheath. In the latter dis-
trict several of the principal streets were inundated by
the torrents which, caused by the heavy rains, flowed
Cewn from the hills leading into Blackheath, and entirety
filled the kitchens and lower stories of the dwelling-
houses in the neighbourhood. In several instances, tio
sudden was the rush of water that the inhabitants had
barely time to escape. In Blackheath-park the embank-
ments were thrown down, and the wall opposite the Ca-
tholic chapel gave way under The weight of the water
On the further side of the park, near the railway, a
number uf houses built in an old rand or gravel-pit were
nearly swamped, and considerable anxiety was occa-
sioned in the neighbourhood fcr their fate. A Green-
wich also great injury was done to the houses and pro-
perty in the lower parts of tee town, from the floods. At
Lewisham, Lee, and the at joining districts, the market
gardeners and nurserymen have suffared severe losses.
At Bromley the standmi.; crops hive been beaten dove n
• by the heavy rain, to such an extent that it is feared
they cannot possibly recover. Tko embankments on the
South Coast and South-Euttern Railways slipped in seve-
ral places, and the electric telegraph wires were injured
by the lightning, which has threwn them out of order at
nearly every station, bat it is not antintpetnd that any
serious damage has been done.
At Stepney, the elecnic fluid entered the back window
of the house. No. 26, King-street, occupied by Mrs.
Trilss.n end after destroying a perdon.of the bedding and
betiteati, and tearing the pap ,r from he wells, it dc_
scended through the flooring into the lower room, where
it destroyed the window-blinds, forced open the abutters,
which were shattered, and eicaped into ;ha yard. Tile
two hack rooms were a complete ruin.
About the same time the lightning struck a house in
Newby-place, Poplar, opposite tin police-station, and
reduced it to a complete wreck. A large stack of chim-
neys was thrown down, the roof torn air, and one of the
windnws shattered. A woman in one of the lower rooms
was knocked down, and was rendered insensible for
some time afterwards.

At Greenwich and 'Woolwich the damage done by the
flooding was very great. At the barracks of tii,.• itoyal
Sappers and Miners at the latter plae,l a drain burst
under the main building, and in a few minutes the water
wls upwards of two feet deep in the quarters of the
quarter-master-sergeanr, the master tailor, and other
Lon-commissioned officers, who occupy the lower story
of the barracks. Fortunately one of the persons pre-
sent at the time had thO presence of mind to throw a
bed upon the opening in the drain, or the conEequences
might have been serious, the rush of water being so

next step was to apply one of Mr. Beauf'ord's " aceele-

ourself remaining unmoved. This accelerator was next
removed and another substituted, when the t'

the accelerator oa this occasion did its works in less than
ten seconds. As the accelerator increased in power, the
portraits diminished in s:ze, but the life-like appearance
of the portraits thus obtained was very striking, the
picture appearing in high relief, devoid of the flat ap-
pearance observable in daguerreotype portraits taken in
the usual way.

accelerators (which are very much cheapermPloying different
than an entire
instrument) he can obtain portraits o

different magnitudes. He will likewise find the portraits
of
ratter so to intensify the solar influence, that by accele-
rator
will be able to take portraits in dull weather which

would defeat his best efforts with the ordinary instrument.
Photographers will understaud us when we tell them
that no niaphragms are employed in this process. Re-
specting these appliances we could call the attention of
artists to the feet that a diaphragm diminishes the
amount of solar radiation which enters the camera, and
therefore weakens the power; whereas the accelerator,
while it diminishes the size of the porirnit, increases the
strength of the actinic influence, and aisbreviates the time
of the operation while it improves the le salt.
It has long been an objection to photographic por-
traits that they are distorted, the central and forward
parts being disproportionately large. This is generally
observable in the 0360 of the hands, which appear of a size
not very

THE DUCHESS OF KENT STEAMER.
Another disaster has happened to the foundered
Duchess of Kent steamer, which, in addition to ren-
dering her recovery much more doubtful, and creating a
serious obstruction in the fairway of the navigation of
the river, was nearly being attended with loss of life to
those engaged in the operation of raising her. In order
to weigh her as effectually and quickly as possible, the
Admiralty put at the service of the contractors two chain
lighters from the Woolwich dockyard, and a more power-
foil one from Sheerness yard. Four chains from those
vessels were secured to and under the wreck, via., one
at the stern, another at the bow, and the two others to
the ends of the main shaft of the engine. On Saturday
afternoon, at low water, the chains were what is termed
fastened down, and on the return of the tide the wreck
was lifted, although perhaps not more than a foot from
the bed of the river, but sufficient for the purpose
of buoying up towards Grays to a more suitable
place for shoring her. The Prince George steamer,
one of the Commercial Steam Company's packets, then
took the lighters in tow; but they had scarcely reached
half a mile from the spot where the wreck had been
raised ere a fearful strain came upon the two smaller
lighters which held the chain under her stern. They
were brought gunwales under water and for the moment
it was thought that they were being carried down with
the wreck. The next instant or so the chain suddenly
yielded, apparently from the giving way of some portion
of the keel, as a quantity of timber floated up, and the
lighters being relieved of the great weight upon
them, the whole strain came upon the larger oar, svhiob
was immediately brought down, and but for
the timely relieving of the chains attached to her,
might have foundered. The wreck once more became a
fixture in the bed of the river, and in a position which
will offer a serious obstruction in the navigation of the
Thames. The efforts for raising her were then aban-
doned, the labourers were withdrawn, and it is feared a
great difficulty will now be experienced in weighing her.
It is said that her engines are not in the least injured.
She was about 16 years old, and at the time of the un-
fortunate accident was worth 8,0001. or 10,000/.
Some few days back a body was picked up in the
river somewhere in the vicinity of Gravesend, which it
is thought was that of a second passenger who perished
on board the ill-rated steamer. It was that of an elderly
man, stout built, and with bald head; and it was dressed
in a black coat, grey trousers and vest. Nothing about
him was found which could lead to his identity. His
pockets were turned inside out, and there is too.mu
reason to suspect that his body had been previously
picked up by some of the wretched creatures who infest
that part of the river, and who, having taken everything
valuable about the corpse, set it adrift again.
An
in-
quest was held upon the body by the coroner of Graves-
end, and in the absence of all evidence as to the identity
of the deceased, and how ho lost his life, a verdict of
" Found drowned" was returned. The prestingtionreirs
strengthened that this was the body of a second
from the circumstance of a passenger having made public
a letter in which he stated that he saw three persons
struggling in the water, that a rope was thrown to them,
and that only one succeeded in reaching it.

ASSAULT ON MR. DIGBY SEYMOUR, M.P.,
BY MR. CAMPBELL FOSTER-
The Daily News of Wednesday contained a tolerably
impartial, but not quite accurate statement of the facts as
to the assault cn Mr. Seymour,
Foster, at York, on Monday last. We subjoin the facts
of the assault, with some preliminary and explanatory
particulars.
mtesatn,foirn tshtrisonbgoroteurgmhs,, committed by Mr.
Just on the eve of the Sunderland election, Mr. Fen-
political
wick, who was Mr. Seymoue- opponent in the Into con-
the
electors, a letter from Mr. Foster in which that gentle-
consistency. In a speech in rePiY, ii
r. Seymour took
Mr. Potter severely to task for his letter, and mentioned
several facts, to show that Mr. Foster had, for a long
raetatdaeka:;id-rp.uSb:ctem:uert'sit'g ° f
time, been actuated by a vindictive feeling, against him.
Boring thp earlypart of the assizes at York, Mr.
li:arsl,y, as a mulnsl friend of Air. Foster and Mr.
Seymour, interfered for the purpose of effecting an nr-
rangernent. Accordingly, setae letters pased, and Mr.
Seymour wrote a letter to Mr. Dearaloy, in which he
expressed his regret that be was compelled by circum-
stances to reLkt; the statements he did, and, further,
repudiated certain constructions which Me. Dearsley
urged might be drawn from Mr. Seyrnour's spemh,
and which Mr. Seymour declared ho never meant to

convey.

Mr. Pashley, Q.C., and several other barristers being
present.
Mr. Foster came suddenly to Mr. Seymour and said.
" Do you retract your apology?" Mr. S.2ymcur replied,
" I never made one; I can retract nothing." Mr.
Foster then raised a stick, which he held in his hand,
and struck Mr. Seymour with considerable violence. Mr.
Seymour instantly rose to protect himself, when Mr,
Foster, pressirg his foot against the fire-grate, pushed
Mr. Seymour buck; and the iatt"r gentleman tripping
is his gown, he fdt to the floor, Mr. Foster ftil!ing over
'l;hile en the floor Mr. Foster sized Mr. Sey-
mour somewhere about the throat, and tore his neck,
lip, and the inside of his cheek will his nails, which
caused the blood to flow freely.
The barristers present, who were for the morr.r,nt.
parelyzLd by the suddenness and nature of the whole
scene, now interfered and brought the matter to a close.
Mr. Knowles immediately. after had an interview with
both the Learned Judges in their private room; and
Mr. Seymour and Mr. Foster being summoned to their
presence, both Learned Gentlemen were bound in their
own recognizance of 5001. each to keep the peace for six
months.
Mr. Seymour will, no doubt, feel himself constrained
to seek redress in a court of law. An outrage like

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, ✓uly 26.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ...lvianTrx.)
Charles Wilkins was indicted for maliciously cutting
and wounding Susannah Wilkins, with intent to do her
some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Holdsworth was counsel for the prosecution.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix (who
was wife of the prisoner), which was fully corroborated
by other witnesses, that on Sunday evening, the 4th of
July, the prisoner, who resided with his wife alone in a
cottage at Stockland, came home very late and quar-
relled with her, and ordered her out of the house. She
accordingly left and remained out until late in the morn.
ing, when she returned home. Her husband then or-
dered her again to leave the house, threatening her if
she did not go he would take the firedogs (iron bars at-
tached to the grate) and beat her brains out; and, as
she did not immediately leave, he took up the firedogs
and beat her with them so severely that he caused a
severe contusion on the head, which fractured her skull
and broke one of her arms. While before the magis-
trates he said in his defence, that he was in a passion
because his wife had applied to the parish officers for re-
lief, which he did not want; but upon the trial he denied
that he intended to strike her, but struck her by acci-
dent while endeavouring to hit the cat.

The jury immediately found him Guilty, and his
Lordship, after strongly animadverting upon tiis conduct
sentenced him to be transported for fifteen years.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Durkam, July 26.
The Judges of this agsize arrived here on Saturday,
and opened the commission. Yesterday their Lordships'
attended Divine kervicn at the cathedral.

The calendar is light, both as respects the number of
prisoners and the description of the offences. There
is one charge of murder of an infant, four charges of
rape, three of highway robbery, three of perjury, and
the rest are ordinary Ic.rcenies.
The cause list contains an entry of 12 causes, none
of which are causes of moment.
CROWN COURT. (Before Lord Chief Justice

CAiIPISELL
Thomas Grant, Thomas Brown. and Andrew Colhoun,
were indicted or a highway rubbery near Gweshead, on
the 12th of July inst., and stealing from the person of
George Paley ss. in silver, a hat, a pair of shoes, and
two handkerchiefs.

Mr. Heath conducted the prosecution, Mr. Otter de-
fended Co!loan, and Mr. Overend the prisoner Grant.
Brown was undefended.

It appeared that on the 11th of July last the prose-
cutor, George Paley, had been to Newcastle, and was
returning homo at past twelve o'clock at night to Dun-
stan, which is near to Gateshead. He was accompanied
by another man, named Turnbull. They passed seven
men on the road near Gateshead, four of whom passed
them again. On getting to an archway which passes
over the railroad, the four men rushed upon the prose-
cutor, knocked him down, jumped upon him, and stran-
gled him with his neckcloth until he became insensible.
On coming to himself, he found himself laid on the rail-
way, without his hat and shoes, and his pockets rifled of
his handkerchief and ss. in silver money. The three
men who followed them also set upon Turnbull, whom
they knocked down and jumped upon, and robbed in a
similar manner. The prosecutor, Paley, spoke posi-
tively to the prisoners Grant and Brown, tho night
being light. Soon after seven men passed a policeman
coming from that direction, and on passing him they
dreppcd a pair of shoes, which the policeman picked up.
He identified all the prisoners. There was a man named
Caldwell standing with him at the time. The shoes picked
up turned out to he the prosecutor's. Other witnesses
spoke to having seen the prisoners Grant and Brown
near the place where the robbery was committed, in come
pany with others.
For the defence of Colhoun and Grant an alibi was
set up by their respective counsel.
As against Colhoun, the Learned Counsel for the pro-
secutioo, in reply, thought the case very slight, end
offered to withdraw the prosecution, bet his Lordship
odd he had Netter proceed with it.
His LORDSHIP having summed up the evidence,
The jury found the prisoners Grant and Brown guilty,
and acquitted Colhoun.
The prisoners, on being called upon before passing
sentence, threw themselves on their knees in the duck
and implored mercy.
His LORDSHIP Said this offence of highway robbery
with violence, committed by a number of persons banded
together, we.s very prevalent in the north, and it was
necessary to make en example to deter others from the
commission of this crime. The sentence of the Court
was, that they be elch transported for fifteen years.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, July 27.
(Before Mr. S:•Jrgesnt ADAMS Assistant-Judge, and a
Bench of MtPistrates, et the Guildhall, Westminster.)
Charles Adeney, aged 26, pleaded guilty to two indict-
ments, chsrging him with embezzling moneys amount-
ing to 61. 14s. 10d. and 18/, 08. 9d., which he bad re-
ceived for and on account and in the name of Henry
George Bohn, his piaster and employer.
Mr. Clarkson nppearcd for the prosecution, and Mr.
Metcalfe for the dolmen'.
The prisoner entered the service of Mr. Bohn, the
well known bookseller in Yozk-street, Covent-garden,
on the 29,h of December last, as collector of debts, at a
salary of 801, and his duty was to pay over daily the
moneys he received to the cashier. In pursuance of his
occupation he received the sums laid in the indictment
from customers of Mr. Bohn, but never accounted for
them. He left early in April on a plea of illness, and
then these transactions were discovered. He was not
apprehended till the 9th of July.
Mr. CLARKSON said that he did not wish to press the
charge severely against the prisoner, bet, as he had con-
fessed his guilt, would leave the matter in the hands of
the Court.

Mr. METCALFE said that by his advice the prisoner
had pleaded " Guilty," for there was no answer to the
charge. He had a wife in very delicate health and two
or three children, of whom he was the sole support.
His friends, he might state, were extremely respectable,
but he (11r. Metcalfe) did not consider it necessary for
him to drag them before the public. He then called,
Mr. W. H. Dodd, a bukselier, who stated that the
prisoner was formerly his apprentice. He left his ser-
vice in 1848, and v.t up in business for himself.
The ASSISTANT-JUDOS inquired of Mr. Bohn if he
had received a character with him?
Mr. Bohn explained that he employed him, knowing
that he had been in business on his own account, and
proper security was to be given by him, which was not,
however, entered into when he left.
Mr. CLARKSON observed that the prisoner communi-
cated to Mr. J3ohn, through his attorney, when the ac-
counts were sent in, and through his information about
60t out of the BCt he had received was accounted for.
The AssisTANT-JapsE said that, as he had pleaded
guilty, the Court had every inclination to deal merci-
fully with him; but the offence he was guilty of was one
of a most serious nature, and it would not
.. do for the
public to think that persons employed like him confi-
dential situations could get off with hardly any punish-
ment because the prosecutor came forward in a kindly
spirit, and because the prisoner himself at the last mo-
ment made what reparation he could by
.confessing his
guilt fie then sentenced him to imprisonment with
hard labour for 12 months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
LA MiETIL
William Downe, a well-dressed middle-aged man, con-
nected with a notorious gang of sharpers, was brought
before Mr. Elliott, charged with stealing 151. from Thomas
Hiller, a greengrocer, residing at 16, Prince's-terrace,
Caledonian-road, Islington; also with swindling him out
of ten sovereigns, under the following extraordinary cir-
cumstances:—
Prosecutor said—Oa Saturday morning last I first
saw the prisoner. He came to my shop with two
other men, and wanted some oysters. I told him I had
none, when he and his companions tossed for some gold.
The prisoner appeared the worse for liquor, when I in-
terfered and said I would not allow any tossing. The
other two men then wanted to back me, 501. to 201.,
against the prisoner to throw a quoit fifteen yards, when
the prisoner put down a sovereign and wanted me to
cover it. I refused to do anything of the kind. They
then all walked out of the shop, but suspecting that the
other man might dupe the prisoner, I followed them, and
after walking a short distance I returned home. Yester-
day, at twelve o'clock, the prisoner came to my shop
again, and asked whether he was there on Saturday
last. I told him that he had been, and that I thought
he was drunk and foolish. Ho then exclaimed, "I have
lost my cane, have you seen or got it?" I replied, " No;
you took it away." Ho then seemed very much dis-
tressed at the loss, saying that he would not mind•giving
101. for its recovery, as it had been given to him by his
father. I believed him to be a gentleman, as he told me
that he had just come from Reading to receive 2,0001.,
which his aunt had left him; that he intended to stop in
London another week, and he did not care it' he spent all
that, as ho had plenty more money at home. Before the
prisoner came into my shop on Monday another man
came in and asked the rent of some adjoining houses.
He also asked me whether I kept a horse and cart, and
was willing to remove a quantity of pictures from round
the corner to Finsbury. .1 told him that I could do so,
when he requested me to put the horses in and be would
soon come back. He then loft my shop, and when the
prisoner entered. The other man shortly afterwards
returned, and said he was sorry he could not have the
things removed that day, as he bad just received a
letter from a friend on the subject. Tim prisoner then
got off his seat, and went towards the other man, when
they had some gin. The prisoner then said that he
would stand a bottle of wine if the other man would go
with him. The latter said he would go with him any-
where and stand anything, as he had nothing else to do.
The man then went away, and the prisoner asked me
to drive him a little way round, as the horse and cart
were at the door. I consented, and the prisoner wanted
me to go op the Richmond-road, but we went straight
along, and overtook the other man, who jumped into the
cart, and then drove to White Conduit-house, where
they elighted, and the prisoner called for ginger-beer
and brandy, end cold gin and water. I left the room,
and on my return I 'Liked what I was to have. Each of
them offered their liquor to me, and I drank the re-
mainder of the gin and water, and the g. ;
ngr'r beer
and brandy. They all got into the cart and I
took
the reins, but soon became insensible, and did not
know where
they drove to. I recovered a little, and
they stopped at a public-house and gave me
a bottle
the name
of ginger beer, but I can't say
of the public-
house. We went into the skittle
prisoner proposed a game at "four gr°und when the
tactosners." said I
did not understand the game, and h
up to play. The other man put up
the could. not stand
pins, and myself
and prisoeor had a game for some gold, and I believe I
won it. They brought me out of the publio-hour?,
but wo had to walk need
cart. I then got in with yth'ieUO yards before I. seawensey
one left us. I drove about prisoner, the other
stopped at another publie-housaemwt heen theut other man met

us again, and they wanted me to go with them to see a
woman at Shoreditch. I would not go, and made the
other man get out of the cart, as I was going to a
friend's at Lambeth, and did not mind the prisoner
going with me, as I believed him to be a gentleman.
The prisoner and myself then proceeded in a very round-
about way towards Lambeth. When I left home I put
in my pocket 27/. in gold and about 20s. in silver, which
the prisoner saw me do. When we got near to the
schools in the Borough-road the prisoner said I was not
in a fit state to take care of my money, and I had better
let him see it. I took a groat part of it from my pocket
and showed it to him. Ho said, I'll take care of that,
it is not safe in your possession;" with that he put his
hand in my pocket and took some money out, exclaim-
ing "I have taken 151, look at it, and you shall have
it when you get home." The other money remained
in my pocket. A little further on the prisoner took
out his purse, containing some notes, and wanted
me to change my remaining gold for some of them.
I would not do so, and a minute or two afterwards we
stopped at the Walnut Tree public-house, and the pri-
soner jumped out fiat and ran through the house, which
communicates with St. Albau-street. I went after him
and met him near the skittle-ground, when we went in
there, and I played him a game, giving him four chalks
out of six, and laying down fivo sovereigns to his one.
I soon lost and played a second game like it, and lost
again, when the prisoner put the 10 sovereigns in his
pocket, and we bad a bottle cf port wine. He wanted
me to play again, but I said I could not, as I had no
more money, and I wanted him to return what he had
taken from me. He refused, and we bo:h left the public
house and went to one of my friend's houses opposite,
when he again refused to give me my money, and at-
tempted to get away, but my friend prevented him, and
handed him over to a constable. The prisoner had an
opportunity of communicating with the other man at the
back of the Walnut Tree, when he passed through.
Police-constable 140 L said, when he was called in the
prisoner was in the garden, and refused to give up the
15/. Prosecutor then told witness to take him in charge.
The prisoner went back towards a dusthole, and acted
in such a suspicious manner that after he had taken him
into custody he was inclined to go and examine that
place, when be found a paper containing five medals to
represent sovereigns, and one half, such as used by
sharpers. The prisoner was searched, but only 11 so-
vereigns, a half-sovereign, and 14s. 6d. were found upon
him, He found no notes upon him. Prisoner told him
the medals were nothing; he'used them as counters in
whist.

Sergeant Coomb, of the L division, said he had known
the prisoner as a skittle sharper for six years.
Mr. Busse!' cross-examined the witnesses for the pri-
soner, and after a very lengthy examination,
Mr. ELLIOTT remanded him for a week, to enable the
police to make further inquiries.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, July 27.)
SI:MAR.—To-day the market was plentifully supplied
with West India Sugar, chiefly by the recent arrivals;
merchants were desirous to realize, and accepted prices
6d per cwt under those of Friday, still both grocers and
refiners operated with caution, and the purchases were 550
hhds, including at auction 327 hhds 12 tierces and 4 brls
Barbadoes, about one-half of which found buyers at the
decline noticed above; fine yellow went at 37s 6d to 393,
good mid and good 35s to 375, mid 33s to 34s 6d, and
inferior 303 to 32s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-clay there was a reluctance to operate
in Refined Sugar for home consumption, and prices de-
clined, brown lumps selling at 45s to 45s 6d, and ord to
fine Grocery at 46s to 48s per cwt. Crushed Sugar is
in good report for shipping, but can easily be obtained
at previous terms.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there were sellers of
Mauritius Sager by private contract rather under the
terms of Friday, yet only small parcels were disposed of,
and none was submitted to public sale.
FOREIGN.—Today a fair business was concluded in
floating cargoes of Foreign Sugar, easier rates being
taken. Since Friday five cargoes of yellow Ilevannah
have been sold at 203 6d to 228 6d for numbers 12 to 15.
Duty paid parcels continue to be operated in with much
caution. None of any sort was offered at public sale.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was a reluctance
to operate in tlengel Sugar, and supply being more plen-
tiful prices slightly declined. Of 6,900 bags at auc-
tion barely une.balf found buyers ; Bene..res fine
and superior white went at 37e 64 to 393
6rl, ord to good 348 to 375, damp and washed
333 to 38s 6d, good to flue grainy yellow 37s to
403, mid white (Leo 41s to 41s 6d, ord to good like
Mauritius 30s to 333 6d, floe 3es to 365, soft brown 233
to 25s 6d, and ()id yellow ditto 26s to 26s 6d. Of
Madras 800 begs sold at 263 to 26s 6d for ord soft yellow,
and good brown 253 to 25s 6d; these are barely former
rates.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was a reluctance to
operate in Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and a small reduc-
tion took place. Of 320 calks at auction about one-half
found buyers; fine sorts went at 64s to 676 6d, good
mid to good 58s to 635, low mid to mid 54s to 57s 6d,
ether sorts 47a to 539, and Triage 42s to 475. For Native
the market is inactive, and at auction 200 bags were
taken in at 44s for good ord. Only small parcels sold
privately at 43s 6d to 44e. Other sorts of Coffee at-
tracted little notice, and 2,900 bags Costa Rica were
taken in at 48s for fine ord, and 15 casks Jamaica cold at
468 to 49s 6,1 for fine to fins fine ord.
MOLASSES.—Operations bavt been upon a small scale
in West ludic, supply is increasing, and there are sellers
at rather lower rates. Barbadoes and Antigua can be ob-
tained at 14s 6d to 15s, St. Kitt's, Trinidad, and St.
Vincent's 13s 6d to 14s 6d, and other sorts 128 6(1 to 13s
per cwt. Tho terms required for Porto Rico and Cuba
are 14s 6d to Ms 6d, Bengal and Mauritius 12s to 12s
6d; few buyers are, however, to be met with.
Cocos.— West India is not generally offered under
previous terms, but less demand exists, and privately
only small parcels have been sold; red Trinidad at 33s
to 38s, fine 39s to 425, and grey 30s to 335. At auction
34 bags sold at 32s 6d to 33s for fine grey, 9 tres low
Dominica 275, and 353 bags Grenada were taken in at
28s to 3119 for low to mid. The rates required for better
sorts are 323 to 36i. For foreign there is still a firm
market, and several transactions have taken place;
Bahia and Para at 253 to 25s 6d, and Guayaquil at
303 per cwt.
TEA..--The better descriptions of Congeu are at pre-
sent only in limited demand, and rather lower rates have
been accepted, there being a plentiful supply; for inferior
a good demand now exists, still there are sellers at pre-
vious terms. The prices accepted for low are 7d to 7id,
good common sound 8d to Bfd, ra blksh leaf to blksh
leaf 9d to 10id, strong and Pekoe kinds lld to la 6d.
Sonchong of fine and good quality sells freely at better
prices, is ld to 18 10d having been currently obtained,
but in inferior and mid, sales keep small at 8d to ls.
Oolong has been dealt in with more freedom; good to
fine is to is 7d, and inferior 8d to 11d. Pouchong of
clean quality is wanted at 53 to 7d, and few parcels are
on offer. There is a larger supply of true Young Hyson,
good to fine Gunpowder, fine Imperial and superior Canton
Gunpowder, but there still being a large demand, previous
terms are well maintained. Other sorts of Green have
been purchased with caution, especially inferior Hyson
and Canton Young Hyson, prices for which incline
downwards. Tho following are the current quotations
—Hyson of low to mid quality at is to is 2d, good to
flue is 3d to 2s 3d, choice 2s 4d to 28 10d, Young Elyson,
Canton 8d to Ild, Hyson is to is 7d, fine and sup
is 8d to 2s 2d, Twankay 101 to Is, Gunpowder Canton 9d
to is 2d, Hyson sort is 3d to 2s 7d, fine 2s 8d to 3a 6d,
Imperial Canton 10d to is ld, ilyson sort is 2d to 2R,
Caper 8d to 10,1, Scented led
ptourleshsadse,s
7d to ls. In Flowery ahndaveillesenn upon
a small scale, still it is held for full prices; fine at ls 9d
to 3s 3d, common to good is 2d to is Bd. The best
Scented Orange Pekoe has been in better demand, yet
there is no advance, and other kinds remain dull of sale;
good and fine can be obtained at is to is Bd, and low to
mid at 9d to Ild per lb. There is yet little doing in
Scented Caper, and sellers are willing to accept low
prices. _

RlCE.—With East India the market has bean more
freely supplied, and rather lower rates have been, sub-
mitted to. Of 4,560 bgs 1,200 pkts Bengal, at auction,
a small part only sold at 9s 6d to los 6d for good
mid to fine white, and 220 bags native Madras 8s 6d to
9s per cwt. Privately, on a small scale, Bengal white 9s to
10a 6d, broken 8s 3d to 85 Bd, cargo Bs, Madras 7s 6d
to 9s, Java 8s 6d to lis 6d, and Moulmein 8s 6d to lOs
per cwt. These rates are nearly the same as in 1851.
In Patna little has been done, and there are sellers at
Us to 15s 6d. Carolina has been operated in with
