COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market has been very quiet, and quotations
have remained without change of importance.
SUGAR.—OnIy limited dealings have been effected in
West India; good grocery descriptions, however, have
maintained previous prices, while other qualities have
slightly declined. In the refined market there is no alrera•
tion to report. Common lumps are quoted 45s 9d per cwt.
COFFEE—Business has been rather dall, and the small
quantity offered at public sale has realised about former
prices.

RICE—The market has remained very inactive, and there
is no material alteration to notice in values.

TALLOW—The operations have men exceedingly limited
Loth for present and forward delivery, and quotations tend
downwards. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 43s 6d, and last
3 months, 458 6d per cwt.

THE NEGRO IN NEW YORK.—The negroes of this
city are certainly in a very unfortunate condition—
that is, those who are left behind. Hundreds have gone to
Brooklyn, and many more to New Jersey, while all trains
and steamboats leading to the interior have been almost
overrun with the flying blacks. A perfect reign of terror
ists in the quarters of these helpless people. The Fourth
ward has been the scene, probably, of more destruction of
negro residences than any other. There are or were a num-
ber of coloured men's boarding-houees in Roosevelt-street,
and these were nearly all destroyed, Two of them were
kept by a black. In a few moments everything of value was
destroyed, and the buildings fired. They soon burnt to the
ground. A German kept a store next door, but es it was
frequented by coloured people it met the same fate, much to
the anguish of its Teuton owner. The crowd distributed
the contents, as victors do the spoils. In Roosevelt-street,
near by, was a negro barber shop, and the crowd, now
swelled to several thousands, scattered its contents about
the street, and then applied the torch. It was not long
before the shaving saloon had disappeared. The Liverpool
Lodging house in Roosevelt-street, a place well-known to
the police, who have but a poor opinion of its character, Was
attacked and burned. This establishment was the resort of
all kinds and colours. Dancing, singing, drinking, &c., were
the chief items of the programme. A negro was caught in
Olive-street. An infuriated crowd began to beat him. Ile
struck out in self-defence, and getting clear away. The
throng followed him to the pier foot of Oliver-street, and
succeeded in getting him upon it, He was driven to the
end of the pier and forced into the East River. It is sap-
posed that he was drowned, as his injuries must have dis..
abled him so that he could not swim. NO" ona .re.ade an
effort to save him. An old negro woman, nearly 70 years
of age, was attacked in the Sixth ward and badly beaten.

them, a sick man, was brought to the station last night,
the crowd having turned him out of bed and severely mal-
treated him. A few days since there were several hundred
negroes in this precinct, but the streets, at least, now show
no evidence of their existence. This is also the case in the
Eighth Precinct. The Twenty eighth Precinct, in Green-
wich-street, has also been the scene of much disorder. It
was in this district that the negro was hung on Monday
night. A black man, named John Williams, was pursued
by the crowd and knocked down upon the side-walk. While
in an insensible condition he was beaten so severely that he
cannot possibly survive. He now lies at the City Hospital.
The crowd threatened to burn a sugar-house in this pre-
cinct and several foundries, giving as a reason that negroes
were employed there. The blacks, however, were all dis-
charged to allay the excitement. Taken altogether, Mon-
day and Tuesday were severe days for the blacks. It ends
for some time at least their residence in this city, They
must seek peace elsewhere, for in the present excited state
of public feeling there is no ease for them in New York.
It is estimated that upwards of 150 negroes have been killed
or badly irjured.--.New York Paper.
TilE CASE OF COL. CRAWLEY.—Mr. Coninghatn,
M.P., writes to a contemporary, stating that Capt. Smales
has received a "free parder:' from the Queen, dating from
the 21st inst.
