COLONIAL.

StrG2lll.—There has been a steady market for British
Plantation sugar, but with very limited transactions.
Barbadoes, by auction, sold at 37s to 39s 6d for good to
fine yellow, and at 36s to 368 6d for mid. Demerara crys-
tallised brought 39s 6d to 40s 6d, and other kinds 34s to
398. Refined brown lumps have been sold at 44s to 44s 6d,
1.),;11(1 low to fine grocery at 45s to 47s 6d. East India-
-I'llB.llr has been taken in at 27s 6d, but fine white Benares

like Mauritius, 32s to 35s • fine and superior grainy yel-
crw, 398 to 40s 6d ; and fine white ditto, 455. There has
been a moderate demand privately for Madras at about
the previous rates. Mauritius has been dull, without any
actual change in price. Foreign—There has been mord
4iSposition to buy within the last two days, the market
11"111. g previously been heavy. Privately, 4,000 chests of
Zellovr Havannah afloat have been sold at full rates for
C°PFEE.---This article has been very dull, and the busi-
ness done has been restricted. Holders are rather disin-
clined to sell at lower rates. Native Ceylon has declined
from 46s 6d to 46s for good ord ; and old import has been
sold at 45s 6d to 465. Plantation Ceylon has been tending
downwards. Mocha attracts but little attention. Fo-
has been quiet.
SPICES.--Pimento has sold briskly at sld to sid per lb
for ord and mid coarse, and mixed pepper has been in
fuller supply, and with a limited demand at hardly pre-
,;4lllB rates. White ord to good has been sold at 7d to
per lb. Malabar was taken in at 34d for half heavy,
and Singapore sold at 3Rd to 3iid for mid, and good sifted
nutmegs have been in more demand, at full rates. Singa-
V.'l () brown,
ord small and mid is 10d to 2s 8d ; and
gapore mace sold at 2s 4d to 2s 7d for mid ; and good

more limited. The latest sales have been at 25s to 268 for
ord and mid, damp 18i to 9i. per cent. refraction.
RICE--The demand has increased, and stiffer prices
"Q•ye been paid. Madras has been sold at 108 6d to lls
for •
mid and good pinkey.
COTTON,—Rather an increased business has been done
en the whole, but the market is now heavy again.
TALLOW. —The transactions have been limited, and
"e• Y. C. has been sold at 45s Od to 465 per cwt on the
spot.

TEA.—Not much has been done in China descriptions,
but Assam has been at very full prices.
GREEN FRUIT.—The stock of all kinds is of a diminish-
ing character, arising from the outward bound vessels not
having reached their destination. Oranges have advanced
2s and 3s per box. Two cargoes St. Michael, sold by
Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, went freely at the im-
proved price. Lemons are in better demand, and the
stock out of first. hands. Seville sour oranges meet with a
ready sale. No alteration in the price of nuts, and holders
entertain a good opinion of the article.

ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-FOURTH DERBY.
Lord Glasgow has been for many years one of the
unluckiest mortals on the turf, and yet one of its staunch-
est supporters. His bad luck, in a great measure, is
attributable to having bred principally from inferior
mares, whose produce, in almost every instance, have
proved failures. He has, however, added some tidy
animals to his stud during the past year ; and, after
having accomplished the rather startling feat of winning
five matches in one day—Saturday, in the Houghton
meeting—we may naturally imagine that he is fairly
afloat on the ebb of that tide which, taken at the-flood,
leads on to fortune. His Lordship has a couple of Derby
animals under the care of

R. I'ANSON,
at Middleham, viz., br c DOUBLETHONG, by Assault or
Birdcatcher, out of Miss Whip, a brute of no account,
although a winner twice in four starts ; and b c BARBA-
TUs, by Bay Middleton, out of Barba, nominated by Mr.
C. Wintringham, a horse of another stamp altogether,
and the very picture of his sire all over. Barbatus was
purchased when a yearling, at York, in May, 1851, by
Mr. Wintringham, for 135 guineas, and sold by him to
Lord Glasgow, at a very considerable advance on that
sum. He made his first appearance in the betting at
Liverpool, on the 18th of last July, at 1,000 to 15. He
has only run once, when he finished a very so-so third
to Vindex, in that horse's memorable win of the
Champagne Stakes at Doncaster, in 1 min. 7 sec. ;
beating, however, the redoubtable Reiver. Since this
Performance, he has advanced, on a trifling outlay to
40 to 1. Although I entertain not the slightest
hope of seeing his name at the head of the return
lists on the Derby day, yet from his size (sixteen hands),
speed, and style of going, I am convinced he will prove
a very dangerous competitor for a mile on the flat ; is
engaged in the Guineas, for which it is probable he will
run.

Lord Glasgow's other nomination, br c by Lanercost,
has long since retired to that " bourne from whence no
traveller returns."

J. DAWSON,
somewhile of Middleham, now, or soon to be, of Ilsley,
has only a solitary Derby nomination in training—Mr.
D. Blythe's ch c LAwsulT (late Ace of Trumps), by
Tam), dam by Hampton, nominated by Mr. C. A.
Parker.. • As the Ace of Trumps, he proved to be any-
thing but a trump card, having, in the only essay he
made last year—T. Y. 0. Stakes, at Lincoln—been
beaten off. Useless for the centre of attraction at
Epsom.
