FOREIGN COMMERCE.

HAVRE, Ace. 29.
COFFEE.—The purchase on speculation of 5,000 bags St.
Domingo, which was before referred to, has given an impetus
to the markets, and some farther
.sales were made at the be-
ginning of the week ; and about 1,200 bags of good ordinary
St. Domingo were disposed of at 65 to 661 centimes. The
market is, however, very quiet.
SUGAR.—The late and the expected arrivals haveoccasioned
a dullness in the market. The sales of the week have been
600 casks of French West India Sugar, at 65f. to 67f. 70c.,
for good brown, equal to 525. to 545. 2d. per cwt.

Cottons. About 2,000 bales have been sold this week, of

21 cents; 500 Upland at 15 to 20 cents; 200 New Orleans,

source of inquiry.

A lady residing in this town, was lately made a vic-
tim to the attifice of gipsies. The sybil pretended that if she
should be allowed to deposit any sum of silver or gold in a cer-
tain place in the lady's own house, it would, in a short space
of time, multiply ad infinitum. The temptation to a weak
mind was certainly great, and all the ready cash was produced,
the charm repeated, and the parcel secreted. A short timc
after, on examining the treasure, it was found to have mul.
tiplied : but it had degenerated as it increased, for instead of
651., the sum deposited in gold and silver coin of the realm,
there was an abundance of rags. —Plymouth Journal.
