PRICE OF SUGAR.

EFFECT OF MONOPOLY.
Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar
in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of
foreign Sugars:—

London, May 8, 1840,
The Gazette of this evening mill quote the
average price of British Plantation Muscovado Per Cwt.
Sugar, exclusive of duty, at
The actual quantity of West India Sugar sold on account
of the importers, in the week ending the sth iust , ac-
cording to the returns made upon oath by the West
India Sugar Brokers, in conformity with the Act of Par-
liament, and on which quantity the above price is com-
puted, consisted of 1,315 hhds. 96 trs. and 77 barrels.
The amount of duty paid on about 1,400.1111 as of West
India Sugar, at the Custom-house of this port, from the
24th to the 30th of April, both days inclusive, wu
27,129'. 12s.

At public auction about SOO tons of Manilla Sugar have
been sold at from 16s. to 225. 6d. per cwt., establishing
the fact that this description of Sugar is now 20s. 6d. per
cwt. cheaper than West India Sugar--that is to say, the
Sugar monopoly abstracts from the pockets of British con-
sumers, for the sole benefit of the Colonists, 20s. 6d. per
cwt. over and above the foreign value of the Sugar, and
the duty of 245. per cwt. imposed upon it.
Refined Sugar, manufactured in London from Foreign
Muscovadoes, has been sold for exportation at (deducting
335. per cwt., being Is. per cwt. less
tshhaipnptilnlgo poor man)
orrgman in this country has to pay for treacle
admitted to home use, duty free.
The public mind appears to be resolved en extinguish.
jog the bread tax by repealing the Corn-ltws. Next in
amount and importance to that huge monopoly stands the
monopoly eiijoyed by the West Ir,dians on nearly the whole
of their produce ; and there can be no question that after
the grand struggle to liberate the industrious classes from
the avaricious grasp of the landlords has passed, public at-
tention will be fully directed to the best means of annihi-
lating the discriminating duties on foreign and colonial
ploducc--if, indeed, the state of the Revenue does not, at
an earlier period, compel the Chancel:or of the xchequer
to propose tha alteration we have for a length of time
advocated.

PRINCE LIEVEN.—On Tuesday afternoon, as
Prince Alexander Lieven was turning the corner of Henrietta-
street, Cavendish-square, in his cab, he drove against a p 44.
He was taken up senseless, and some hours elapsed before be
was able to speak. The worst was apprehended from the
in-
juries he received, but on Wednesday the following bulletin
was given to the numerous noblemen and gentlemen who mad*
inquiries after the Prince :—" Prince Lieren has passed a good
night, and is in every respect going on via."

WILKINSON'S ANTI- CORROSION
PAINT.
REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to
54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside.
J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to
the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbe wish to paint their
houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven-
tive to damp •r era spray in exposed situations; it will not
blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent
slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences,
farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as
common paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer
can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves-
sels, &c., it -sill be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe-
rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen
years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South-
wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving
their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no
other colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal
allowance to the trade.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
The market yesterday was dull, both in goods and
yarns, its lioness being increased by the suspension of
payments of the Commercial Bank ; and, as regards
twist, also by bad accounts of a famine in Russia, in
which it is stated that the price of food has most enor-
piously risen, and that the people were starving in great
numbers. Goods were also difficult of sale ; but still
both goods and yarn might have been disposed of at
some little reduction in price, which the manufactur-
ers, however, were not willing to submit to.
T, MONDAY, JUNE
ROCHDALE FLANNEL Id A RKE
20.—We have bad very little business going on in the
flannel-market to-day ; everything has been dull and
gloomy. Buyers have either wanted the pieces at re-
duced prices, or otherwise have been quite indifferent
whether they purchased at all. la the wool-market all
has been still and inactive.

...
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 00.----Our market
was pretty well attended to-day ; but still there was
but a meagre quantity of business transacted either in
the plain woollen or fancy
departments, and manufac-
turers continue to complain bitterly of the low and
ruinous prices obtained ; indeed, they aro so low com-
pared with the prices of wools, that many sales are
chiefly the effect of dire necessity ; and, doubtless, it
an ;early improvement cannot be realised, many will
have to "Lite the dust." The wool market was also
flat, but prices are firm.

FOREIGN WI N E.—More wine is imported into
this country from the Cape than front the whole of France.
Last year the quantity of Cape wine imported amounted to
723,7.18 gallon:, while that from France was only .503,487,
considerable. portion of which too we; afterwards exported.
Fibm.Porttigal there were imported 3,272,208 gallons, from
Spain 4:130,7,`,5 gallons, from Sicily 58'2,467 gallons, and from
Madeira '267,041 gallons. The total amount imported was
9,909,0b6 galkus, so that the Peninsula furnishes more than
three-fourths of the wine consumed in this country.

manded in the usual way. Three horses to start, or the 30

tinued each year, at the Second Meeting of the Hippodrome,
and be for 25 sovereigns each, with a Subscription from the
City of Westminster, guaranteed by the Proprietor of the
Hippodrome, to amount to 200 sovereigns at least.
The Stewards are the Earl of Chesterfield and Lord Alfred
Paget.
London, England, 1840-07-02

HOP INTELLIGENCF.

The hop plantations of Worcester, the Weald of
Kent, the iiinlcr part of Sussex, Essex, and the North
Clay district, have now nearly for a month been subject
to an attack of fly-blight, as severe as ever known, and
which has increased so steadily that the bines appear
to be sinking under it, and the produce bids fair to be
materially shortened, and in the early attacked ground
in a great measure destroyed. The only parts of the
plantation which have hitherto comparatively escaped
are the Golding Hops, on the hills, in Middle Kent,
and the City Grounds of Canterbury, with a small
part of its vicinity, in which districts the bine is at prc- '
sent promising, though by no means quite clean ;
but as, in the customary course of failures, they are
always the last attacked, even these cannot, as
yet, be considered entirely out of danger.
The numerous recoveries which have taken
place of late years, and particularly those which oc-
curred in 1827 and 1534, have rendered the trade slow
in giving credence to the extent of the blight; and pru-
dently cautious in acting upon it ; hence, we arc happy
to say that the advance in prices has been extremely
limited when corn pared with what has been usual when
similarly circumstanced in former years, and does not,
vet exceed 15s, to 18s. per cwt., 'caring prices still mo-
derate for the purposes of the consumer ; still, however,
with much uncertainty in the market. It is certainly
not yet too late for recovery, partial or even extensive ;
but we apprehend that the crop cannot be a large one ;
and should Miff Kent become infected, the duty (at
present estimated at 95,0000 may prove materially
less, in which case prices must greatly advance. All is
yet in suspense, and depends on the weather.
London, England, 1840-07-02

THIRD RACE.

A Sweepstakes of 3 Sovs. each, with 25 Sovs. added ; mile
heats ; winner to be sold for 100 sovs. if demanded in the

Three horses to start, or the 25/. will not be given.
N.B. The London Handicap Sweepstakes will be continued
each )ear, at the second meeting of the Hippodrome, with a
subscription from the City of London, guaranteed by the pro-
prietor of the Hippodrome, to amount to 200 sovs. at least.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 1.
THE ATTORNEI•GENERAL V. DANIELS.

The arguments on behalf of the defendants in this
case were concluded to-day, and
The VICE-CHANCELLO2, without calling upon Mr.
Bruce to reply, gave judgment, granting the injunction
asked by the plaintiffs, at the same time acquitting the
defendants of any intention of doing wrong in the course
they had pursued. The course they had adopted, was,
however, illegal, and it was therefore the duty of the
Court to interfere. He must therefore grant the injunc-
tion asked by the plaintiffs.
The effect of this decision is to prevent the defendants,
who form part of the Vestry of Marylebone, from raising
25,000/. upon the security of the parish-rates.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JULY 1

THE QUEEN V. MYERS, ADAMS, SOLOMONS, PHILLIPS,

In this trial, which was not concluded yesterday
when our Paper went to Press, the case for the prose-
cution being closed, the jury at once came to the conclu-
sion, with which his Lordship concurred, that there was
no case against tha defendants, and immediately re-
turned a verdict of acquittal.

THE NURJI►E R OF MR. HARVEY
comBEE' GAME-KEEPER.

DISCOVERY OF HIS REMAINING MUR-
DERER.
It will be recol3er tied that in the month of December,
1838, one of Mr. i larvey Combes' gamekeepers, ramed
Thomas Chipps, was brutally murdered on the premises of
that gentle.man, by f, an notorious poaGlicrs. A verdict of
Wilful Murder was returned against four men named
alias ei Bcrdy," but upon investigation of the James White. Thomas, klnkers, James Allen, and William
Bird,
circum-
stances it was deemed pro udcnt to admit White as evidence
for the Crown. The t.,,1 her three mcn absconded imme•
diately after the cc,mmia lion of the outrage, and none of
them were taken until a c onsiderable time afterwards, and
Sakers, who was' the first taken, was convicted of man-
slaughter at the Senmer .ssizes, 1839, and was sentenced
to be transport: d for tile. Allen was subsequently taken
into custody, and at the; i...pring Assizes of this year he
•argo of manslaughter, and
pleaded guilty to the et
was alto sentenced to b,transported for life. In
the meantime, the strictest a (larch was continued after
" Burdy," who was suppose. to be the putter up,
or concoctor of the whole .I).Tair, but not the least
clue could be obtained to him, a n.d it was believed that he
had gone to sea. Within the last few days, however,
Partridge, the constable., of Cobh tin, who had the case in
hand, received information that a Elan, under the name of
Henry Jones, was in custody in \laldon Gaol, upon a
charge of burglary, whose appearan le corresponded with
that of Buidy, and he immediately pro, Teded to, that town,
and on seeing the s i dismal Jones, he immediately iden-
tified him as the man he had so long be, n on the look-out .
for. Upon the circumstances being I. tenticried to the
authorities it was deemed advisable, owing k to the
fact of another party being iordlicated .in the
charge of burglary, that that charge should be, roue
on with, and accordingly, on Monday. Jones, alias Burdy,
and a man aamed John Johnson, who travels about the
country with a dog-cart, were indicted for a burglarly, at
the instance of a person named Dadlow, a tradesman at
Maldon. Both the prisoners behaved in the most out-
rageous and violent manner during the trial, and
they repeatedly insulted the Court in the grossest
manner. The Jury ultimately found both the prisoners .
guilty, and the Chairman ordered them to be transported
for life. As this is the case, it is doubtful whether any
farther proceedings will be taken against the prisoner for
his share in the murder, as it is not probable, after the
results of the former trials, that a jury will ba induced to
give any other verdict than that of manslaughter, in which
case the Court could cot inflict a heavier sentence upon
;he prisoner than has followed his conviction for burglary.

SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS

GUILDFORD, JULY 1.
Before tho Rev. Mr. ON SLOW, Convener, and other
Justices.)

Miss Courrs's SelTOß.—ltsvill be remembered that
a short time ago Mr. Richard Dunn, the barrister,
whose name has been frequently before the public, on
account of his assiduities to Miss Burdett Coutts, at-
tended at Union Hall police-office, to prefer a charge of
assault against some parties connected with the Park
Hotel at Norwood, the assault having taken place in
consequence of Mr. I)unn's attempting to obtain an in-
terview with the lady %%bile she was staying with her
father, Sir Francis Burdett, at that establishment.
Upon that occasion, the parties were bound in recog-
nizances to answer any charge that might be preferred
against them at these sessions.
Mr. Dunn yesterday applied to the Court, and re-
questec: that the defendants might be called upon their
recogu'zances, in order that he might know whether
they were prepared to take their trial. He said he
should also wish to know whether Sir Francis Burdett,

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

COLONIAL MARKET.
The operations were on a small scale, and chiefly confined to
purchases for home consumption ; prices, however, were firm,
particularly for Raw Sugir, which was in good request at high
rates. Coffee held firmly, but the demand trifling. The ar-
rivals light, but several vessels are expected daily.
TEA MARKET.

A public sale of some recently imported Tea took place with
a full attendance of the trade ; the demand was steady, arid
previous prices were realised. In the IVlarket there was little
done, but. Company's Congou could not be bought below
Is. llid. per lb. cash. Deliveries large.

TO THE. EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Strt,—l have received an intimation that some state-
ment attributed to me in the report of the proceedings of
the Anti- Slavery Convention, at Freemasons' Hall, on the
20th proximo, as they appeared in The Sun,werc considered
to imply a reflection upon the character of the late James
Stephen; I beg, therefore, to say that nothing could be
farther from my intention, and that I gladly bear my bum•
blc testimony to his disinterested, steady, and invaluable
services in the cause of the slave, amidst diffieulties and
discouragements which the present generation cannot pro
perly estimate.

Very respectfully,

IRELAND.

SENTENCE ON JONES.—On Monday Justice Ball sen-
tenced Richard Jones, who was found guilty of having been
a member of a secret society, to transportation for seven
years. The prisoner declined saying anything for thepre-
sent. But Mr. Costello, his Counsel, addressing the
Court, said—" I have good reason to know that the so-
ciety with which the prisoner was connected has ceased to
exist, and that the persons taken up in Leitrim belonged
to the Northern Union, and were never connected with
this society at all. I take this opportunity to make this
public declaration. I believe myself that the society does
not any longer exist, and nothing with reference to it
should be withheld by me. lam quite certain that no in-
dividual in England, Scotland, or Ireland, is acting in
connection with the society to which I allude; and that
the persons recently apprehended in Leitrim belong to a
society in opposition to it."
Justice BALL assured the Learned Counsel that any
suggeztion in favour of the prisoner would be attended to
by the Government.
The Dublin Evening Post in the course of its remarks
on the subject says, that the trial " affords most conclusive
proof of the contemptible character of the Ribbon confe-
deracy, and of the accuracy of the descriptions of that
affiliation, given from time to time, since 1822, by indi-
viduals officially connected with the Government—by
Lard Plunkett, in Nov., 1822 ; by the lamented Mr. Drum-
mond, before the Lords' Committee, last year, and by the pre.
sent Attorney-General, in open:ng the prosecution against
Jones at the Commission last week. From first to last Rib-
bonism, as apolitical society, has been utterly contemptible,
particularly since the power of the law has been brought to
bear against the antagonist system of Orangeism ; but, never-
theless, Ribbonism was mischievous in its character, and
the Government, therefore, felt it to be its duty to
hunt out its ramifications, in order to extirpate the noxious
system.
And the efforts of the Government have been crowned
with success. The only person amongst the entire con-
federacy who appears to have been possessed of intelli-
gence or information has been sentenced to one of the
severest penalties inflicted by the law, and many others
now await their trial at the approaching assizes."

" This is a beaUtiful and moflt valuable work. Of the nume-

" It ought to be in every school-room and study ; for a most
instructive volume in the most valuable of all knowledge, that of
the Sacred Scriptures, it will be found to be. We can inform
the aged for their comfort, and our much-worn eyes unhappily
make us very competent judges on the subject, that, by a novel
method of printing, the physical features of the countries repre-
sented, their hills and valleys, their lakes and streams, are
clearly delineated without in the least interfering with the ex-
hibition of the names of the places. Most of us have often bad
to regret that, in the most prominently relieved maps, where
the mountain ranges have been most (fishnet, the places have
been almost hidden. In this Atlas this defect is obviated, by
reversing all former plans, and printing the mountain lines in
white instead of black. '1 he effect is very pleasing."—Conser-
Tative Journal, May 23.
" Works on the geography of the countries mentioned in

This Company is formed for Paving the 111etropolis, and
twenty miles round. Specimens of the principle have been
laid down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and Oxford-street,
where 2,000 yards more are commenced. The principle is a
new:section of the cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain,
at an angle of 63 degrees 26 minutes 5 seconds and 8-lOths of a
second, which causes the diagonal joining of the obtuse angles of
the two parallelopipedes to fall in a perpendicular straight line,
which, laid down obliquely, gives to a surface, perpetually even,
all the strength of an arch.
The streets of London alone comprise 6,000,000 square
yards, and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,0001.
The Irofits of the Company will be derived from the original
laying down of the Pavement, each million of square yards
yielding 150,0001. profit—and also from keeping their pave-
ment in repair, which on a moder..te calculation will amount
to 60,0001. per annum—at the same time effecting a saving of
one-half of the Paving-rates to the several parishes. The pre-
sent orders received by the Company amount to 30,0001. Ne-
gotiations are pending for other works to a great extent.
