The last Gazelle quotes the average price of British Per cwt.

plantation 'Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at ... 355. 81d
Muscovado Sugars raised by free labour in foreign plan-
tations, are worth this week from 225. to 255. per
cwt., being about 14s. per cwt. less than the average
price of West India Sugar.

In this state of markets no exportation of IlAned Sugar can take
place.

COFFEE.—The duty protecting West India Cot Tee against the
competition of Foreign, is equivalent to 230 per cent. ad valorem.
We have already stated the figures demonstrating that the loss
to the nation by the West Indian monopoly.amounts to 4,210,000/.
per annum, so that in addition to the 20,0.00,000/. compensation
money, and the interest thereon, the nation will have paid, since
1533, ancaer 20,0Q0,000/. to the quondam stare mners.

THE O'CONNELL DINNER AT T t FREEMA-
sort's TAVERN To- MORROW —There can b‘ but one opi-
nionli among patriotic Irishmen of the claims of Mr. O'Con-
nell upon their gratitude. Whatever reason the
people of England or Scotland may have, or fancy
they have, to doubt the purity of his patriotism, the
long and well-sustained strugglesthe Emancipation of
of Mr. O'Connell
are too closely
interwot en w its
Ireland from a thraldom the most degrading and de-
moralizing, to allow it to be supposed that any Irish-
Than can be insensible to the vast services which he has
renfiered to his native country. We have therefore plea-
sure in ob‘.crving that it is proposed by a number of Irish
gentlemen, resident in London, to entertain Mr. O'Con-
nell at a public dinner at the Freemason's Tavern to-
morrow. The anniversary of the feast of St. Patrick fal-
ling on Sunday prevented the dinner from being given on
that day, as was originally proposed. In the absence of
the Patron Saint, we know of no Irishman worthier of a
national banquet. A
few days since, a fine ewe, belonging to Mr.
Hatherley, a farmer of the parish of St. Budeaux, in the
county of Devon, yeaned, and had an extraordinary fall of
five lambs, all living and likely to do well, two of which
will be reared by hand, and the other three will be suckled
by their dam.—Devonport Independent.
TWEED FISIIING.—For some days past the
river has been in excellent order for rod fishing ; and seve-
ral gentlemen were successful in their piscatory sports.._
