COLONIAL MARKETS.

But little business doing to-day, either, by public sale or
private contract. Prices of goods are firm, and unal-
tered. B. P. Sugar sells steadily at 525. to 545. ;
brown 56s .to 58s ; for middling and good yellow, and up to
655. for fine. Nothing doing in refined goods. By public sale to-
day we had 500 bags Bengal, which fetched about 685., which
are former prices. Coffee, 30 casks B. P. sold at about
former prices. Cocoa, 150 bags British Plantation, sold at
former rates. The imports are rather heavy just now.
The stock of B. P. Sugar is 28,230 hhds. and trs., and 1,616
barrels; Bengal, 16,334 begs; Manilla, 70,335 bags; Mau-
ritius, 50,260 bags. Coffee, B. P., 4,308 casks and 4,680 barrels
and bags; Ceylon, 11,483' Fags; Mocha, 3,045 bales; Su-
matra, 7,850 bags ; Brazil, 37,996 bags ; St. Domingo,
14,064 bags.
Owing to the high and advancing prices of Wheat, we have
but a poor prospect of any great revival in business for some
time. For to-morrow we have one public sale only, and that
is 50 casks and 100 bags B. P. Coffee,

The Belgian Observateur says that a re-union of the pa-

The Emancipation publishes the following letter from the
frontiers of Prussia:—

" Several Journals have spoken of a numerous corps
d'armee, concentrated on the Prussian frontiers; but I can
assure you that Prussia has only at present on foot
120,000 men, and the two corps, the 7th and Bth, will be
sent, not to make war against you, but to prevent you making
demonstrations in our provinces, which are disposed to rise
in favour of the Belgians. These corps do not amount
to more than thirty thousand men, including two
brigades of artillery and the Bth Regiment of Cavalry, most
part of which is composed of Dragoons and French Lancers
or Poles. Never was the Court of Berlin more disposed for
peace, than at the present time.
