MAURITIUS.-The public sale of 3,843 bags Mauritius, on
Friday, went off with more spirit, the good Sugars at full
prices. This afternoon three public sales of Mauritius Sugars
took place, consisting of 9,297 bags, chiefly low parcels of
brown, worse than Bastards, the low quality 485., a 545., sold
at a reduction of 2s. a 3s. on the nominal value, the good and
fine 60s. a 655., the latter at a reduction of 6d. to ls. ; also
the fair to good brown, 60s. and 615., were is. lower.
EAST INDIA.-The prices last week were fully supported ;
the strong qualities of Java and Manilla fully supported prices ;
Bengal white steady, 365. a 38s. 5,745 bags Siam have ar-
rived, which will no doubt, when offered for sale, meet with
ready buyers, being much wanted.

parcels ; damaged white Havannah 445. and 455., low soft old
yellow 335. a 345., good dry 355. In Brazil no purchases
reported. Average price of Sugar IL 18s. Old. per cwt.
MOLASSES.-Trie demand for West India is moderate, and
mostly confined to Trinidad, of old importation at 255., for
Demerara of good new quality, 275. is wanted. The total
deliveries of West India Molasses from the warehouses for the
week ending March 26, amount to 2,405 cwt.
COVFEE.-The British Plantation descriptions of Coffee
remained last week in nearly a nominal state ; the unclean
Demerara offered sold rather lower, but the good and clean
qualities were still scarce ; the stock never known so low in
the country. Of 380 bags St. Domingo only 120 bags sold
at 535., remainder taken in; a cargo Brazil sold at 525. 9d.

Two cargoes of Brazil afloat this afternoon are offering at
535. The total deliveries of Coffee from the warehouses for
the week ending 26th March are 105,216 lbs. of East India,
and 145,412 lbs. of West India.
COCOA.-In Brazil very little doing. British Plantation is
steady ; at auction 30 bags red Grenada fetched 525. a 58s.
for fair to fine quality. The total deliveries of West India
Cocoa from the warehouses for the week ending March 26th
are 11,101 lbs.
Rum, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS._Rum remains very firm in
price, particularly the fine qualities, but owing to the scanty
supply at Market, very little has been done. Brandy and
Geneva are very dull of sale. The sales of Rum this after-
noon are, Leewards, 2 per cent. over, at 2s. 4d. ; and 8 per
cent over, 2s. sd.
TALLOW..There is less doing on the spot, but for delivery
in the last three months of the present year several sales have
been made at 435. a 435. 6d., and there are but few sellers
now under 445. Accounts from St. Petersburgh state that
there was a very brisk demand, and that in probability the sup-
plies to England would not be above half of what they were
last year. This afternoon 45,000 casks of Tallow sold for
delivery at 435. 6d., with leave on the part of the sellers to
double the quantity.
PROVISIONS.-The holders of Irish Butter, towards the
close of last week, submitted to a considerable reduction on
former rates, which has since led to a brisk demand from the
trade. The supply of Foreign during the last two days has
been rather large ; the demand is still very moderate, and fine
qualities are rather cheaper. The prices of Bacon have given
way Is., and the demand for consumption confined to small
parcels at 465. a 475. for prime singed ; the arrivals have again
been very heavy, exceeding 4,100 bales ; the speculative de-
mand since Thursday has completely subsided. Lard is dearer,
and the demand very lively • the arrivals heavy during the last
week. Hams command a better sale. India and Mess Beef
is dull of sale, and 2s. 6d. lower. Pork is also quiet, but not
cheaper.
SALTPETRE.-In Rough a good business has been done,
c6nsidering the limited quantity offering for sale ; prices are
very firm.
Woou.-The demand for Foreign Wool has been very
brisk and general; the only arrivals have been a small quan-
tity from Germany. The public sales of 1,240 bales of sun-
dry descriptions, being the clearing up of the clip, which
commenced on Thursday, concluded on Saturday evening ;
there was a good attendance, and the whole quantity sold with
much spirit at very high prices, Australian at 2s. sd. a 2s. 7d.,
V. D. Land good 2s. sid. a 2s. 6d., Odessa ord. ls. Id. a
Is. 2d., mid, to good ls. 3d. a 2s. 6d., Tuscany mid. Is, 6d.
a is. 10d., Spanish mid. and good, 2s. 2d. a 2s. 7id., Ger-
man very low quality, ls. 41d. a Is. 9id. There is very
little business doing in British Wools at present, but owing to
the scanty quantity left in the hands of the staplers;'prices are
very firm.
INDIGO.-There is a good home and export demand, and
several small parcels have also been taken on speculation ;
the advance generally has been 6d. on the last qaarterly sales,
and in some instances Bd. a 9d. obtained for picked lots. The
quantity which will be brought forward in April it is expected
will be increased to 5,000 chests, a large portion of which
will consist of old goods. The total deliveries of East India
Indigo from the warehouses for the week ending March 26,
are 30,152 lbs.
TEA.-The prices'ire very firm, but there is not muc, doz
ing on account of the approaching large public sales. This
afternoon the Market continues very firm. Low Congous and
Bebeas of the Free Trade are in demand at an advance of
from id. a Id. on the late sales. Twankays are also in re-
quest, and prices full Id. higher. The deliveries are large,
both for home trade and export. The total deliveries of all
descriptions of Tea from the warehouses on which duty has
been paid for the week ending March 26, are 627,114 lbs.
LEAD.-A sale has been made at Liverpool of 600 tons
British Lead at the high price of 281. 10s. per ton.
QUICKSILVER.-Holders are now asking 3s. 9d. per lb.
Hoes.-The prices have risen 2s. 6d. a 55., and the demand
exceedingly brisk ; very few Hops now rennin unsold. The
supply of good and fine coloured Hops in particular is very
short.

J. B. Papworth, Esq., V. P., in the Chair, donations of books,
engravings, and casts having been received from the Society of
Art—Brunel, Robinson, Ferrey,Esqs., and others, the meeting,
took into consideration the subjects of the Essays for which
premiums are to be offered tluring the present year, and the
following werc4.49pted :—The practical application of the
theory of sound the (eiiitruction of edifices, by which rules
'may be ascertained for bidding places for public meetings in
the manner most favourable for the transmission of sound ; and
a second. The effect which should result to architectural taste
from the general use of iron in the construction of buildings.
Mr. Fox delivered a lecture on skew arches, in which he ex-
plained the very important principles lately laid down b) him.
for their construction.

J. GOLDICUTT, Esq., Junior Secretary, then read a paper
on ancient wells and reservoirs, having more especial reference
to their decorative character. At Venice, where salt water is
found a few feet below the surface, the rain water is collected
in the various squares and open places, into huge filters formed
beneath the ground. In an interesting conversation on the sub-
ject which took place, it was stated that the Pacha of Egypt
has lately employed English artificers to bore for water in the
deserts.
The meeting was then adjourned to 4pril 11.

proofs to-day was only 1,503/. I Is. 4d. The amount
proved at the first meeting was 7,719/. The debts, there-
fore, entered against the estate now amount to 9,222/.
The bankrupt not being ready with his accounts, the final
examination was postponed to the month of May. The
further proceedings were then adjourned.
