ing to the returns made upon oath, by, tbu 'West India
Sugar Brokers, in conformity with the Ad of 'Parlia-

puted, consisted of 1,686 lihds. 180.ticrc, and 138 1
barrels; and not of 2,300 hildi., •as . eitirntated in the I
market.

Foreign Sugars raised by free labour have been sold
this week at from I9s. to 225. Gd. per cwt., bei iisout
16s. 6d. per cwt. cheaper than the West. Ir diang Snuar.-
Last week there were 1,197 bhds. and trs. i..!;:s del evered
from the Doe 6 than in the cor:espending week of last
year. From the Ist January to, the 6th •Oct)ber,
the deliveries were 92,428 hhds. and trs. ; in the same
period of 1839 they were only 72,369 hhds_ and trs.
showing a diminution of
.19,839 hbds .crid trs.
The market is extremely dull. If.the public continue
-to refrain from the use of sugar, to the eNtent they nave
done since the Ist May last, the: stock on .hand, at
'Christmas 1839, will exceed by many hbd. that held at I
Christmas 1833 ; at .present the excess is about 5,0011
hhds and trs.

High prices have stimulated so extensively the culti-
vation of sugar in Bengal, that in each year, since the
equalization of the duty of the East with the West: In,
dian Sugars, the quantity imported fr;:m Bengal hr.s
nearly doubled that of the preceding yrar ; for instatvce,
from the Ist January to the 7th October, 1837, 58,Z5 92
bags were landed--i—in the same period of 1.838, 04,062
bags—and from the Ist January to the sth October,
1839, 153,785 bags. The accounts from the East lomd
to the supposition that, in 1840, we shall import 30,900
tons' from Bengal, .which will abundantly compensa to
for any deficiency in the growth of sugar in the Wcst
Indies, throug'h the general mismanagement of the la-
bourers by the planters.

RECOGNITION OF THE QUEIF,N
OF SPAIN.BY THE NORTHERN POWER,;.

The Leipsic Gazette of the 4th inst. has the follorw-
artide •

• . .
VIENNA, SEPT.27.—The rumour that the Spanish
question would be decided at a meeting of A rnbassad ors
at Prince, Aletternich's chateau at,Johannisberg is im :or-
reel. Negotiations pn this subject between the Austrian
and. French Cabfoot have taken place, but they merieiy
hini for object:the:disposal of Don Carlos himself.' As
soczraf the,Frenclt and. English Ministers have obtained
fOrlurn and his family guarantees for the future, Don
:CAT/as:will 'go. to Austria and take up his residence' at
Spltzburg. It may be of course conceived that the
.Madrid Government, . on its side, stipulates for guaran-
tees, ,
and that they will be granted."
, • Th 9 Universal Leipsic Gazette of the sth has the.
annexed correspondence from the Prussian capital on the
Spanish question : . .
" BERLIN, -OCT. 2.—lt is believed that our Cabinet
will snot] acknowledge the Queen Isabella 11., and the
Ambassador who is to go to Madrid, it is said, is r •.',ri
appointed. He is Count Racynski..' It is preten:lP;l
by some politicians that Rothschild, when at Johannii.
bergs consulted Prince Metternich as to n. loan to be ck in-
tractexl by the Madrid Government, and asked whiltatr-
. the Northern Powers would guarantee this Joan. The
Prince held out some hopes do this -subject, but tith
the condition that the property of Don Carlos sbouid
be , restored and that he •shotild be allowed a peniicfin.
As, however, a pension would absorb 'the interest inf
any net', loan, even a small -one, and as Spain. is A.-
hausted. by the civil war, it is scarcely probable tba. a
•MinistrY would be found bold enough to propose 1! k,',
the:C6rfes."

-.54 BERLIN, SEPT. 30.=--Now. that the civil war Lgks
-terminated in Spain, it is generally belieVeii that
`Northern Powers will aeknow!edge Isabella the SecoD(i.
Private letters inform us that M.' de ROthschild.h.,,
received from Prince Metternich the most positive
assnrances on the subject of a loan proposed to be con-
tracted by the Madrid Government-, so that this sixth
• great European Power will probably take upon itself a
• financial intervention, which will effectually guarantee
peace. We learn from a good source that negotia-
tions will be opened, to which France and England will
be invited; by the Northern Powers, in order to bring
aboura friendly- compromise between Don Carlos and
the Qeecn Isabella: 'The Infante Will obtain an apa-
iinge, on condition that he renounces for himself and
his descendant§ his rights to the throne until the extinc-
tion of tire line of Isabella the Second." •
