&GAR, —We have to report a dull market' for British
Plantation Sugar this week, business having been Checked
by the announcement of large parcels of various descrip-
tions for public sale ; and although importers have sub-
mitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d end in some in-
stances of Is, still both grocers and refiners have
purchased cautiously, and continue to take only suf-
cient to supply their immediate wants ; the trans
actions during the three market days have amounted to
only I 200 hlids. and tierces, including a public
of 130 hhds Barbadoes, which went off without spirit, a,
about previous prices—fine sold at 68s 6d. to 70a, good
middling and good 66s 6d to 68s : by private contract,
fine brown St. Vincent's has been sold at 63a; middling
yellow Tobago and Tortola at 64s to 655; St. 'Kitt's and
Antigua, good middling grey at 665, and good mid to fine
Antigua at 67s to 69s the assortment of Sugar at market
has become very good. The deliveries continue on a
small scale for the season of the year, and those. of last
week were upwards of 1,800 hhds less than in 1838 during
the same period: the stock is 1,371 hhds, &c., under that
of last year. The arrivals since our last report have been
6,700 hhds,
This afternoon, in consequence of the public sales of
Sugar admissible for consumption, the transactions in the
West India market were extremely limited ; the" purchases
for the week are only 1,550 hhds and trs, including two
public sales, and the general decline in prices-for the week
is Is, and in some cases Is Gd; 284 hhds, 33 trs, and 61
brls St Lucia were submitted to publict competition ; they
went elf heavily, and prices gave way ls ; the whole were,
however, sold, fine brown at 623 61, mid yellow 63s to 645,
good mid and good 64s Gd to 663, fine 675, very fine 68s.
REFINED. —The grocers have purchased sparingly of
Refined goods, but the stocks in the Sugar Houses not
being large, prices have undergone little variation since our
last; standard lumps leaching 81s 6d a e2s, and common
patent goods 80a 6d a 81s. For exportation the demand
has become trivial for goods the production cfe,"orcign
Sugar; ,and crushed has been sold at 34s 9d to 35=: which
is 6d to 9d lower, 101 b loaves are held for 45s to 475, and
Gibs 48s to 50s; four Houses are now at work.
Ma earmus.—Large parcels were declared for public
competition, 9,600 bags for this day, and 11,200 bags for
'Tuesday. The deliveries have fallen off, and- those, of
last week were not equal to those of last year during the
samo period by 449 bags: the stock exceeds that of 1839
.by 6,224 bags. The arrivals have been only 7,150 bags
since our last.
This afternoon there were four public sales, consisting
of 9 607 bags, ale of which were sold, but at prices 6d to
Is lower, mid brown went 58s to 595, good at 61s 6d to
625, low mid yellow 634 to 63s 6d, mid and good 64; to
65s 6d, fine 66s to 675.
EAST INDIA. —The transactions in Bengal have been con-
fined to the public sales of 4,175 bags, all of which was sold
at and after the sales ; but in consequence of some dispute as
to terms, the seller of the bulk demanding cash on delivery of
the warrants, whilst the trade wanted the usual credit, the
rates previously established were not supported by 6d per cwt,
good to fine white sold at 684 to 695, low middling to good
middling greyish 65s to 675, fine yellow 65s to 63s 6d,
damps and washed 64; to 67s 61 ; for auction on Tuesday,
8 500 bags are declared, on Plantation terms. The large
parcels Manilla declared for auction next week, in all
11,40 bags, have caused the private transactions to be
limited for the pan.
/ This afternoon the public sales of Bengal consisted of
995 bags ; brown sold cheaper, but the quality of the white
was indifferent, and it brought its full value, good dingy
while went at 65s 6d to 66a, good brown at 57s Gd to 595,
fine 6ls Gd to 62s 6d.

mand for Foreign Sugar; white Brazil on the spot cannot
at present be quoted cheaper, but the private salts have
been limited; ordinary and soft brown and yellow
.kinds
have become dull of sale, but in strong sorts some business
has been done at previous rates : a cargo of Maceio has
been sold for Trieste, white 31s 6d, and brown at
21s 6d. For white and yellow Havannah there are still
few orders, and prices are rather lower ; a floating cargo
of the latter, about 2,560 boxes, has been sold for Ant-
werp at 27s 6d for good quality ; 27s has been refused for
one ; at auction only 109 boxes strong white and 500
boxes yellow Trinidad da Cuba have been offered, the
former were bought in, but sold afterwards at a reduction
on previous rates of Is 8d to 2s, good mid to good of the
new crop selling at 365, 375, and 38s; yellow at about their
former value, and went at 2656 d to 293 for mid to fine, those
at the former figure were rather soft. Some offers have
been made for a parcel of yellow Havannah. There have
been some arrivals of Havannah and Brazil,principally White.
TEA.—Although other public sales are announced, yet
holders do not seem disposed to submit to lower prices,
but there has been very little business doing ; the auctions

has taken place ; at auction 40 brls Trinidad sold at 47s 6,1
a 52s 6d for mid to good red ; the stock is 2,289 bags
under that of last year. In Foreign some small sales have
been made at the quotations.

Linseed Oil has declined to 25s 6d to 25s 91, at 'which

been rather limited.—The few sales made in Rape have

DOG CART CRUELTY.--Notwithstanding the
disgust with which the practice of putting dogs in harness
to drag lads along our hard roads is viewed, and despite
all the laudable exertions of the Cruelty Suppression So.
c;ety, the " nuisance" appears unabated. The imposition,
on the owner of every dog used for drawing, of a tax, say of
51. a. year, would perhaps prevent the evil.
The majority would have been much greater on
the third reading of the Jamaica Bill,,had not the division
taken place at so early an hour, that many Members were
shut out, not expecting the debate could have come to so
speedy a termination.

We have heard (and indeed have had some evi-
&nee that in this case truth is the babbler) that a young
beauty, not a hundred miles from the most fashionable
church in town, has refused an heir apparent to an earldom
recently returned from Italy. The cause assigned is a
decided preference for a youth about to leave this country
with a lucrative appointment abroad.
Mr. Charles Howard, brother to Viscount Mor-
peth, has been appointed one of Lord Melbourne's Private
Secretaries, in the room of Mr. Cowper, appointed a
Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital.
