4pOLONX4A.i.
SUGAR.—The puolic sales are going off very flatly, a
large quantity being offered. Refined brown lumps are
44e, and steady.
CUFFEE.—Holders are firm and expect a better de-
mand. Native Ceylon has been taken in at 41a 6d.
TEA.—The inquiry improves. Sound Congou is at
9d per lb.
He:nue—ls 30s 10d per cwt for clean. Tho stock on
the Ist inst. was 11,459 tons against 6,326 tons at the
same time last year. The deliveries las; year was 1,018
tons, against 926 tons in 1850.
FLAx.—The stock on the Ist inst. was 1,347 tons
against 1,296 tons at the same time last year. The de-
liveries last year were 150 tons against 344 tons in 1850.
COCOA.—This article is very fiat.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is rather brisker.
COTTON.—Holders are firm.
INDIGO.—The demand for this article during the past
mouth has been chit fly confined to small orders for im-
mediate use; a parcel of about 200 chests of Bengal is
reported to have changed hands at easier rates; Madras
and leurpah maintain about October prices. At the next
periodical sale, which will take place early in February,
prices are expected to rule lower than in October last.
From Calcutta we learn that the estimate of the new
crop has been reduced to 120,000 maunds, in consequence
of the weight proving less than was calculated upon,
caused by the quality and lightness of the paste; two
small parcels of the new crop had arrived, but no busi-
ness had been done; all parties wero waiting to hear the
result of our October sale.
CocuiNEAL has been in moderate request; for grain of
good colour and size, full prices are paid; the ordinary
sorts do not sell so readily, and previous rates are barely
maintained. At public sale, Honduras Silver sold from
2s 9d to 3s 1(1, ditto Black 3s 2d to 45 3d; Mexican
Silver 2s 7d to 2s Bd, ditto Black 3s 4d to
3s 6d; Teneriffe Silver 3s ld to 3s 2d, ditto Bleck
3s 2d to 3s 6d per lb. The stock on hand shows a
large increase compared with the same period last year;
the imports, though large, fall short of 1850, but the de-
liveries have much increased.
TOBACCO.—The dull arid monotonous state of the
market, which has existed for some time past, was in
some measure relieved during last month by Wes of all
sorts to nearly 1,200 hhds. The sale of 500 to 600
hhds of strips by one importer
is ,the only feature
deserving any particular observation. This sale and
circumstances connected with it cannot be fairly consi
dered as indicating a correct and positive state of the
market, us similar rates to those paid have been subse-
quently declared by other importers; this stile, which
was unquestionably pressed on the market, together
with upwards of 150 hbds held by speculation, sam-
ples of which have made the circuit of the kingdom,
and we are glad to find have at last been', located, may
probably conduce in preventing a further depression in
prices; but whether this should be the case or otherwise
increasing
and to be a matter of perfect indifference;
and extending business by some manufacturers appears
to be the chief object in view, remunerating prices a
secondary consideration. For exportation, business was
extremely limited, and inquiries were confined to com-
mon and ordinary sorts; sales did not exceed 140 hhds.lmports, 270 Ws ; deliveries, 971 hhds, against
804 hhds in the corresponding month of 1851;
stock, 22,309 hhds, against 26,721 its 1851.
In Virginia the demand has remained limited, and
with the exception of about 50 Midi and tierces taken
for Ireland and Scotland, the sales of the month have
been confined to small purchases by the trade as in need.
The cargo of the Junius has been sampled, and turned
out generally in good condition. Demand for exporta-
tion has been almost exclusively for very ord descrip-
tions, and to a limited extent. To Kentucky leaf the
business of the last month was almost entirely confined;
there has been an improved demand for colony home
trade leaf, and several small sales have been effected.
Sales for exportations are estimated at 120 hhds.
Maryland of leafy and coloury kinds has been in good
request.,

" Logrono, Dec. 24, 1851."
The Gazette announces that her MAJESTY has re-
ceived with esteem the felicitation of the Duke DE LA
VICTORIA.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

Robert Grant and James Christy were charged with
stealing a horse, value 21., the property of Thomas
Chambers.
The horse was turned out into a field in Bow-lane, but
in the course of an hour afterwards it was missing, and,
a search being made, it was traced to the possession of
the prisoners, who were in the act of selling it for 30s.
when they were arrested.
The prisoners, in their defence, said they found the
horse, but the Learned Recorder told the jury that even
supposing the defence were true, they were not justified
in offering it for sale.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and the Court
sentenced them to be imprisoned in the Rouse of Cor-
rection for three years.
The Court was occupied the rest of the morning trying
several minor cases of petty larceny, none of which were
of sufficient public interest to justify a report.
