COLONIAL.

TEA.—The public sales of Indian teas have been well
attended, and previous prices are generally maintained.
SUGAR.—A steady business has been transacted in West
India, and superior descriptions have fully maintained
former rates. In the refined market there has been rather
more business transacted, only good common lumps are
quoted 425. per cwt.
COFFEE.—The demand for both plantation and native
Ceylon has been steady, while superior qualities have in
some instances realisedrather higher prices.

RlCE.—Only a moderate business has been done, and
quotations generally show no material change.
TALLOW.—The market has been very dull, with a
downward movement in prices. P.Y.C. on the spot is
quoted 415., and last three months' delivery; 425. 6d.
per cwt.

THE TRIAL FOR MURDER IN IRELAND.—The
trial of Richard Murphy for the murder of his
sister Ellen at Ballybriggan, was (we learn by Electric
Telegraph), brought to a conclusion yesterday by a ver-
dict of not guilty. The prisoner, however, was not
discharged, as he has yet to be tried for the murder of
his other sister, Anne, which will probably commence
to-day.

Among the recruits who have lately joined the
15th Middlesex (London Scottish) Rifles as privates are
the Earl of Aberdeen, the Hon. F. Charteris (son of
Lord Elcho, M.P., commanding officer of the corps), and
Mr. Edward Ross, late captain in the Cambridge Uni-
versity Rifles.

SERIOUS FIRES.—About four o'clock yesterday
morning a fire broke out in the timber-yard be-
longing to Mr. Humphrey, in London-street, Dockhead,
Bermondsey. The whole of the extensive stores and a
dwelling-house were destroyed. The total loss is con-
siderable. Another fire took place in the premises be-
longing to Mr. Waters, a carpenter and builder, Black
Horse-yard, Gray's-inn-lane. The workshops and the
stock in trade, including the workmen's tools, were de-
stroyed.

THE FAMILY OF THE LATE JULES GERARD.—The
Duke d'Aumale has contributed I,ooofr. to the fund now
being raised for the benefit of the relatives of Jules Gerard,

good supply of capital at their disposal, they have
not made any alteration in their charges for the
