COLONIAL MARKETS.

This market continues quiet, and the demand is not brisk. Bare
consumption rules the purchases, and prices under such circumstances
vary very little indeed, nor are they expected to do so. British Plan-
tation Sugar sells very slowly, and yesterday's prices rule. Refined
Sugar Is 345. for fine crushed, and 85s. for lumps to pass the
standard. Today we have public sales of 1,700 bags Yellow lb-
vannah, and 200 White Havanna!' Sugar, which sold at pre.
vious rates. Coffee, 222 casks and 302 bags B.P. 204 bales
Mocha and 105 bags Ceylon. There is more life in the Coffee than in
the Sugar Market, and the prices of B. I'. and Mocha are looking up a
I ttle. Ceylon realizes its previous value. Cassia Lignea, Ginger, and
Pimento sold to.day at previous rates, or thereabouts, and 83 did
Pepper. Saltpetre is rather Bat, and 2,192 bags went much as be..
fore in price, say from 225. ‘to 25s , according to quality, but all did
not sell. In fact, the whole of the Colonial Market is very quiet,
and no commodity appears likely for the present to vary in value.
The imports of East and West India produce were light. For to.mor.
row we have public sales of 10,000 bags Manilla Sugar ; 11,400 of
Mauritius ; 2,400 Bengal ; and 300 casks Barbadoes. Coffee-70
casks and 35 bags. British Plantation Saltpetre, 6,500 bags. Rice.
2,307 bags Bengal. Ginger, 3,206 pockets Bengal and some Pepper.

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JULY 18,

There has been very little business doing to-day in shares, and a thin
attendance at the market. We quote Great Westerns 78 ; Edinburgh
and Glasgow I prem ; London and Birmingham quarters 28; Manches-
ter and Birmingham 12s. 6d. premium.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Amy 18.
The sales today amount to about 3,000 hags. We find no altera-
tion in prices, and the quantity of Cotton offering appears limited—
indeal we find buyers complaining that they are unable to suit them-
selves. The sales comprised 300 Egyptian, at 10d. to 104-cl. ; 150
Bahia, Sid. to Std. ; 200 Ceara, B.ld. to 91d,; 150 Surat, 4id. to 5d.;
and the rest American, at std. to 71d.

STEAMING ON THE CANALS.--A few days ag° ,
a steam-boat named the Nouclty proceeded from London to 11fanclrett-
through the canals. The Novelty is the hull of an old canal boat. v.
understand that all that is sought for is to attain, as a regular speedsa -
of six miles an hour; and this speed has been maintained in even thefirst
trial through the canals in the most satisfactory manner. The 3111.
cherier Guurdian, from whose report the above information is obtain
observes—" It is perhaps premature to speculate on the great revolt!'
tion which the success of this experiment, and the consequent acloptin:i
of sham power on canals, would occasion in canal navigation. Some
the earliest and most obvious results would be—the necessity of deepo;
ing the canals, or keeping more water in them ; the avoidance of
delay now so much complained of, in boats waiting, very often for 57,,
veral days together, for turns, at the various locks ; and an increase;
traffic in lighter goo.'s by means of fewer boats than are at Presel3
employed on the canals. All these advantages, however, are of col,r"B
contingent on the success of the mechanical invention, in its aPPlic,,,
P
tion to canals, and on the degree of cordiality with which canal proPo",
tors approve of a (Alan,. which some of them may imagine (whetlie.
justly or not we do not affirm) will cause a greater wear and tear of the',
property than that to which the ordinary mode of horse towing at Pr.,
sent subjects them.
