MOLASSES.—There is a very steady demand for West India
at former Market prices. The sales reported are, good Gre-
nada 275., good Demerara 275. 6d.
COFFEE.—There have been no public sales this week of
Plantation Coffee, and owing to arrivals of the new crop of
Jamaica off the coast of about 700 packages, the demand by
private contract has been confined to fcw'small parcels of clean
quality at former Market prices ; a portion of the above when
arrived will, it is expected, be brought immediately to public
sale. In East India scarcely anything done for home use,
but for Sumatra for shipping there is a good demand. The
prices of Foreign arc firm, but there has again been very little
done, the sales privately not exceeding 400 bags Brazil. For
a cargo of Rio offering 50s. is asked. At auction to-day
306 bags Sumatra, partly sold at former rates, good brown
435. a 455. 6d.

this week been extremely brisk ; prices of ord. Leewards have
advanced id., and strong Demeraras and Jamaicas Id. ; the
total sales amount to 1,000 puns, Jamaica 26 to 30 over sold at
3s. 6d. a 3s. Bd., 36 to 37 over 45., and a few very superior
imported in the year 1830 at ss. (id. ; Demerara very strong
•32 to 33 over, a favourite mark, 3s. 5d., 37 over 3s. Gd., 27
over 3s. 3d., 5 to 8 over 2s. 4d. a 2s. sd. ; Leeward proofs
to I over, proof 2s. 2d. a 2s. ; for sonic of the fine Ja-
maicas just arrived 4s. is asked ; fine Rums arc exceedingly
scarce. Geneva is quiet this week. Brandy is nst lower, but
there is very little doing. This afternoon sales of Leeward
Island Rum at 2s. 4d. for 6 per cent. over-proof.
INDIGO.-On Wednesday and Thursday there was.very little
alteration in prices. Market steady.
FOURTH DAY'S SALE.-704 chests (including 68 withdrawn)
have passed the sale this day. The quality of this parcel was
either good and fine shipping, or very ordinary and defective :
the first sold with spirit at the rates previously established, say
6d. to 9d. advance on the last sale ; for the latter there was
great competition at 9d. to Is. advance. The quantity bought
in this day is about 90 chests, chiefly in the fine sorts. At
auction this afternoon 52 serons Guatemala went at 4s. 4d. a
ss. Gd. higher.
COTTON.-The Cotton Market continues very dull, in con-
sequence of further public sales, which took place this day ;
still the holders have not submitted to reduced prices. At
Liverpool there is a very steady business doing. This after.,
noon 3,000 Surat and 1,000 Bengal Cotton were offered by
public sale, only a few of which found buyers at irregular
prices ; three-fourths of the Surats .Were of very ordinary to
middling fair quality, but so much mixed as to render any
valuation uncertain, and mostly bought in at 6d. to lid. ; about
700 of good quality were bought in at 84cl. The Bengals were
likewise taken at sid. to 51d. for ordinary to 61d. middling
fair. Since the sales a few have been placed, and the parti-
culars are as under :-500 Surat 61d. a 7id. ordinary to mid.
fair, 8,-10. a Bd. fair to very good, and 40 Bengal 6,1 d. fair.
PROVISIONS.-There has been very little doing in the Irish
Butter Market since Monday, on account of there being a very
plentiful supply of Foreign ; the stocks on hand being small,
cause holders to be very firm. For Dutch there is a very good
demand, and better prices obtained this week than last : ar-
rivals large. English of fine quality has again risen 25., and
a considerable business has been done. There is not so much
doing' in the Bacon Market now as there was in the early part
of the week, still holders will not sell but at fully the prices
previously quoted. Lard is in brisk request. Scotch Pork is
selling very extensively, but for Irish Bale and Tierce Middles
there is very little demand at present. The English and
Foreign Cheese trade is very dull ; supplies large, and stocks
on band heavy. In Hams not much doing.
ASHES are still very scarce, and held for high prices ; at
auction 25 barrels Canada Pots sold at 345. 6d. for seconds, and
28s. a 295. 9d. for thirds.
CocnlNEAL_Notwithstanding the public sales advertised
of 300 bags, there has been a very good business done by pri
rate contract, chiefly
for exportation. The public sale this
afternoon of 98 bags sold with great briskness at 7s. to 7s. Bd.
for low to fine silver, being full market prices.

ETING OF CREDITORS ON MONDAY.

The mortal remains of the late Rev. J. Gunn, a dis-
tinguished dissentinr, minister, philanthropist, and friend of
civil and religious liberty, were, on Saturday last, deposited
beneath the family vault in the burying ground fronting the
Independent Chapel, Aylesbury, in the presence of thousands of
sorrowful spectators.
There , . .
Has been a great reduction in the expenditure
of the poor rates in the parish of Cuckfield, owing to the in-
troduction of the New Poor Laws, prior to which all manner
of abuses were practised by the idle and unprincipled, to the
great injury of the industrious and deserving part of the
labouring classes.—Briyhton Gazette.
