close generally the same as on Friday last. Purchases are

consumption, yet brown lumps were obtainable at 43s 6d,
and low to fine grocery 44s to 47s per cwt.

with an increase in deliveries of 6,000 chts, and consumers
are little supplied. Of Guatima a supply is more plentiful,
yet a good demand exists, and 400 Berens at auction all
sold at 2s lid to 5s sd, being full rates for better sorts, but

Java lOs 6d to 13s, and yellowish 93 to 10s.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—A free sale still pre-
vails for Leeward Island rum, and the upward movement
continues-1s 9cl to is 10:1 per gallon having been obtained
for proof. East India is much required ; supply is small,
and is 8d to is 9d is the value. In Demerara consider.
able transactions have taken place, prices showing a further
advance-2s Gd to 2s 9d having been obtained for 30 to 40
per cent. over proof; indeed, some parties will not accept
these rates. Jamaica has been sold to some extent, chiefly
for home trade purposes, and prices are yet on 'the advance,
with a decreased supply ; choice sorts 36 to 40 per cent.

2s 3d to 2s 44 having been accepted, and for fine 2s &I to

being an extensive demand, the value is 9s 9d cash ; gin
22 under 8s 4d, and 17 ditto 8s 104 per gailon ; indeed an
advance is looked for.

COCHINEAL.—Thore is at present only a limited home
trade or shipping demand, and supply being rather plenti-
ful, a decline of ld per lb. has taken place. At auction,
480 bgs were mostly sold; low to fine Honduras silvers at
3s 7'd to 4s 2d, dead and pasty 2s 8d to 35 6d ; Teneriffe
silvers 3s 8d to 3s 11d, and black 4s to 413 3d.
TALLow.—A reluctance has been evinced to operate in
Russian on the spot this week, aid prices have given way ;
fine yellow candle selling at 46s to 468 3d. Purchases are
unimportant for delivery in spring months, although there
are sellers at 46s 3d to 463 6d. Home melted is rather
more plentiful, and being less wanted can be obtained at
478 6d cash. Other sorts met with little notice, and a de-
cline took place this afternoon at the public sales : 500

THE HOUSE OF B OXAPARTE.-At the present moment,
a short geneologieal table of the Bonaparte family will
be read with interest. Charlep Bonaparte, father of
Napoleon (the Great), was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica,
on , the 29th March, 1746. He was a man of
good family, of noble descent ; he left by his
wife, the beautiful Letitia (Ramolini), eight chil-
dren : Joseph, born January 7, 1767,—King of
Naples (1806,) King of Spain (1808) died 1844.
Napoleon, Emperor (born Aug. 15, 1769, died 1821)—
the Great ; Lucian, born 1775, died June 30, 1840 ;
Maria Anna (Elise, Bacciocchi), ; Louis, born Sept. 2,
(King of Holland, 1806), died July 25, 1846, as Count
de St. Leu ; Charlotte (Maria Paulina Burghese) ;
Annunciata (Murat) ;
,Jerome, born Nov. 15, 1784,
ex-King of Westphalia, still living. Of the elder
branch there is only alive a daughter (of Joseph),
married to Prince Charles Bonaparte, Prince of
Canino, eldest son of Lucian, born 1803. They have
eight children. The present Emperor Napoleon 111.
(the Duke of Reichstadt being put down as Napoleon
IL), is the son of •Louis, ex-King of Holland. Born
at Paris 20th of April, 1808 ; nephew of the Em-
peror. He was elected President of the French Re-
public on 10th December, 1848, for the term of four
years. In virtue of the coup-d'etat of 2d December 1851,
declares himself President for ten years, and is proclaimed
Emperor, with hereditary desoent, on 2d December, 1852.
Jerome, ex-King of Westphalia, unole of the present
Emperor, is at present Marshal of France. He was
married twice : first, to Miss Patterson, from whom he
was divorced in 1805 ; secondly, to a Princess of Wur-
tembergh, who died in 1838. By the latter he had two
children : Mathilde, married to Prince Demidoff, known
in fashionable circles as La Princesse Mathilde ; and
Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul Bonaparte, who will be
declared successor of the present Emperor, in default of
issue, and who is to be created Viceroy of Algeria.
