COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—Holders of British Plantation have brought
forward very little sugar for sale this week, and conse-
quently have obtained full prices. Yesterday the sales
increased, being about 900 hhds and trcs. At auction
151 hhds 6 trcs Barbadoes realised full prices; fine
yellow 41s to 425, and low to mid 38s to 39s 6d per cwt.
Refined Standard lumps have been at about former values.
EAST INDLL—Mauritius, 351 casks 6,101 bags, chiefly
sold at former rates; low to mid yellow, 36e 6d to 38s;
good to fine, 38s 6d to 41s; ord to fine grey, 36s to 395;
brown ord to mid 33s 6d to 34s 6d, and good to fine 35s
to 36s 6d. Bengal, 2,979 bags only partly:sold atabarely
previous rates; Benares ord white, 393 to 39s 6d ; good
to fine, 41s to 42s ; and Mauritius sort, 40s to 41s
per cwt.
FOREIGN.—Java, 1,000 bags has been sold at 22s per
cwt. privately, and at public sale 2,145 boxes white
Havannahs, mostly washed, were bought in at 27s to 30s
for low to mid, and at 305 Gd to 34s for good and fine.
COFFEE.—This article has been even quieter than for
some time past, but as holders refrain from pressing
sales, prices exhibit in many cases rather a firmer ten-
dency than otherwise. Early in the week, Plantation
Ceylon sold lower: good at 59s to 62s Gd; mid at 48s
to 565; and good and fine ord at 35s 6d to 37is 6d per
cwt. Privately. Native has been sold to a fair extent
at 303 to 31s. British Plantation and Foreign sorts are
about the same as last week.
RICE.--A moderate business has been transacted pri-
vately, but prices are without change.
SPlCES.—Ginger has realised 41 to Si for mid Jamaica,
and 515 s to 71 10s for fine. At the Cinnamon sales full
prices were obtained, and in some cases 2d per lb advance
on the good and tine sorts.
COTTON.—The market has been steady, and with
rather more disposition to do business.
SALTPETRE.—The market is not so firm, and Bengal
has been sold at Gd per lb decline on the finer descrip.
tions, with less inclination to do business.
DYESTUFFS.—The demand is limited.
TEA.—This article has been without any change of
moment.

MANSION-HOUSE, MAY 2.—The Lord Mayor begs
to announce that, in consequence of her Majesty's con-
cert at Buckingham Palace, he is obliged to defer till a
future opportunity the entertainment that he proposed
to have given upon Wednesday, the 9th instant.
Mr. iligham, Secretary and Comptroller-General to
the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National
Debt, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer on Wednesday.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti
mated at 6,000 bales, and comprised about 5 000 A=B6.
can; 200 Bahia realised 4id. to 5d.; and 300 Surats
to 3id. per lb. The market continued steady, I°4
closed rather firmer. Prices of American were 146.,
dearer, Surat rirm, but Brazil and Egyptian were id. 14.
fd. per lb. lower. In Railway Shares but a limited
business was done, and prices had a downward tendency,
The Corn Market has been heavy this morning, and
prices are not supported. The arrivals include 22,920,
qrs. of foreign Wheat, and 21, 410 of Oats.
There is more activity to-day in the general product
markets, a larger quantity of Sugar and Coffee being,
offered.
The proprietors of the Assam Company, established
some years since for the purpose of cultivating the Tes
plant, have had to day a more favourable meeting
than for a long tune past, and the results are such as
to encourage the hope that the undertaking will hence-
forth be prosecuted with renewed energy and stilt
greater success. India, from which we draw so large I'
revenue, needs an increase in its staple products to meet
the balance against it for British manufactures, &C',
and it is scarcely possible to estimate the extent to which
Tea might be made to furnish the desideratum.
We are glad to perceive by the accounts received this
morning from this Baltic that the blockade was
being more impartially enforced. A Dutch ship
attempting to enter Dantaic was brought to
by a sharp cannonade from a Danish cruiser
and several vessels of other nations that had just arrived
were prevented from entering. The merchants of Go-
thenburg had petitioned the king to allow a steamer to
be put on the station between that place and Copenhagen
and Travemunde. The Schleswig Holstein Government:
was inviting parties to engage in its maritime services
Able bodied seamen were offered 27 marks, and second
class 21.
The Ham burgh Money Market was very lag,
on Tuesday ; Exchange on London, 13, Bk. and
bills at long date still in request. Funds shares
were firm, with no particular alteration. M
Berlin on the 30th ult., there was an advance
in some securities which bad been sold to a greater ex-
tent than they could be delivered. The Rigs letters of the
25th ult. quote three months' exchange on London at
36 13-16. At Copenhagen, on the 28th ult., the Three
per Cent. English loan was quoted 631 to 64, end the
New Five per Cents. 91. In the Frankfort Bourse, on
the Ist instant, Austrian Five per Cents. were 741.
Vienna, date of the 28th ult., quote Austrian Metallicg
at 89k.
Letters received this morning from Austria
notice the march of a large body of Bus'
sian troops to the assistance of the Imperialists,
who would shortly have 120,000 men in the field.
The Hungarians, however, were inspired by their succeds
and there was very little prospect of an issue to the con"
flict, except by force of arms.
At Amsterdam, on Wednesday, the Bourse was dull.
Dutch Stock was scarcely so good. Spanish and Portu-
guese Bonds were firm. Russian and Austrian were
rather in favour. Mexican and Greek scarcely so gone'
There has been a very firm market for Public Securi°
ties, and the decided rise in the French Funds, in anti'
cipation of a favourable issue to the May elections, has,
some effect here in conjunction with the peaceable ad'
vance of the French troops in Italy, and the brilliant
weather here. Consols

In the Foreign Market, the feature is a " start " tri
Spanish Bonds. The Three per Cents. have tenths"'
34e tot. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 281
29. Mexican Stock has realised 32k toil with the Coll'
puns. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. are 50i tot.
Railway Shares are flatter, the rise of yesterday bat''
ing induced sales in particular lines, as a reference to the
list will show. Calculations have been made to eh°
that upon Eastern Counties old shares not more than 45:
per share per annum can be paid, but some improvement
may be made if the debentures can be renewed on lower
terms, working expenses reduced, and if the capil
does not require any addition. Scotch Central and
Aberdeen are higher. - French Shares look well.

rir 0 the MONTH of MAY.
Shining, smiling, flowery May,
Listen to my humble lay,
Fondly doth my eye discern
Tokens of thy glad return ;
Now are nature's prospects seen,
Decked with neicly spreading green :
All is charming, all is gay,
Shining, sniffing, flowery Ea' y.
Happy mouth I thy welcome reign,
With its ever pleasing train,
Scatters pleasures here and there,
Pleasures which the many share ;
Even in the crowded town,
Thousands hail thy blooming crown,
And to thee their honours pay,
shining, Smiling, flowery May.

While thy trees and flowers assume
New attire on leaf and bloom,
We prepare a change of dress,
Suited to thy loveliness.
Daily now is MOSES' Mart
Filled with things in every part,
Won by MOSES' choice display,
Shinieg, smiling, flowery May.
I myself have lately been
To this busy trading scene ;
And with pleasure did I scan
Dress designed on such a plan.
Trowsers, Coats, and Waistcoats, too,
Really beautiful to view,
Here were bought for little pay,
Shining, smiling, flowery May.
Ilati and Caps and Boots and Shoes,
Such as none could well refuse,
Showed what MOSES' Mart can do,
When thy month appears in view.
May the preparations made,
Add to Messrs. ➢LOSES' trade,
And with this I close my lay,
Shilling, smiling, flowery May.

One half the world are desolately single, and the °the,.
supposing them marred, questionably contented. Difildence,ocrma
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un •
coaeprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, arc the great hindrances to domestic happines,
and social content. 'the dowry should not be the enly marriage set
