10,880 bags 338 chests Brazil, 2,139 bags Madras, 158 boxes

(From the London Net, Price Current of January 19.)
SVOAS.—To-day them was much desire manifested to
purchase all descriptions of West India Muscovado for every
purpose, and advanced rates were offered ; but the high prices
insisted upon by merchants operated considerably against
business, and the quantity sold in the private market
amounted to only 30 hhds and tierces, for which an advance
on the quotations of Friday of 2s to 3s per cwt. was given.
There was no public sale of Barbadoes. If holders had taken
a small advance on Friday's prices the market would have
been cleared.
EAST INDIA. —This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in ex-
tensive request ; and at public sale 3.624 bags were all sold
at an advance on the rates of Priday of is per cwt.
REIINID.—To day the inquiries_ were numerous after all
sorts of Refined goods for home consumption, and further
advanced rates were offered, but the supply scanty. Bonded
crushed Sugar is much in request, and prices have risen to
34s Gd a 35s fir first quality.
FOREION.—To-day every kind of Foreign Sugar was '
much sought after by exporters, the home trade, and specu-
lators, and higher rates were offered, but business of moment
was prevented by merchants insisting upon a considerable
advance—indeed some refuse to make a price, and several
parcels have been withdrawn from the market.
Mauarrius.—This afternoon the demand was animated
for Mauritius Sugar of all kinds, and 7,437 bags at auction
were all disposed of, at an advance on those of Friday of 2s
to 2s 6d per cwt for all descriptions.
COFFEE.—This afternoon most kinds of Foreign Coffee
were in excellent request; at public sale 2,421 bags Costa
Rica were nearly all sold at full rates for the better sorts,
but inferior went a little cheaper.
Dia.—Duty has been paid on 406,4901bs at this port
during the past week, and 6,000 packages arrived. The
market has been in an inactive state for green Tea, and the
low and middling qualities are offered rather under previous
rates, the supply being large ; but for good and fine late
quotations are insisted upon. The better sorts of Congou
are little wanted, and can be obtained at a shade under last
Tuesday's rates. Pouchong is not much wanted, and 4d to
9d is the value of low to fine quality.
FEET.—There has only been some partial business doing
privately; a parcel of damaged Patras Currants sold at 525,
Elemes, in cases, from 43s to 455, and some drums Turkey
Pulled Figs trom 44s to 465, and one parcel fine at 565.
Sricna.—Pimento is in small supply, and being much in
request, a further advance in prices has taken place. In
Black Pepper a good deal has been doing privately in all
sorts, but no improvement in value can be noted. For
White the demand is on the increase, and prices on the rise.
For East India African Ginger a good demand existed, and
stiffer rates are paid. Cassia Lignea has been sparingly dealt
in, and prices are going down.
Srittrrs.—To-day there was little desire evinced to operate
in Rum, and which is to be attributed to the probability of
the unrestricted use of sugar and molasses being allowed in
the distilleries and breweries; still holders were not inclined
to take lower rates.

Itcmco.—East India is held with firmness at an advance
on the rates of last quarterly sale of 2d to 4d per lb.
There has been a fair business transacted, the home trade
being the chief operators.

COCIIINEAL.—The demand has fallen off, and the market I
having been well supplied, a decline in the value of Id per lb
took place, and 158 bags of Honduras Silvers, at auction, ,
were only in part sold, at 5s 7d to 6s for mid to fine quality.
NITRATE or SODA.—There has been more activity in the
market, and prices have advanced to 165 6d to 17s per cwt,
at which good business has been done.
TURPENTINIL—Spirits have been sparingly dealt in, and
there are willing sellers at 46s to 475, the stock being
large. In Rough the operations are upon a more extended
scale, but not at better prices. 105 being taken. Tar is in
fair request, and the stock is still small.
011.1.—For Linseed Oil rather lower rates having been
submitted to occasioned the demand on the spot to be good
at 25s to 25a 3d per cwt, and the export orders executed
have been upol rather a larger scale. For forward delivery
there are few purchasers, although there are sellers at the
moderate rates of 25s 6d to26sper cwt. Rape Seed Oil hasbeen
in excellent request, and prices are still on the advance. Olive
hasbeen disposedof to some extent, at further advanced rates.
Palm cannot be quoted dearer, but the demand has been active.
For Cocoa Nut higher rates have been obtained. The ar-
rivals of all kinds of Fish Oil have been again to a small
extent only, whereas the deliveries are still large, and likely
so to continue.
TALLow.—The market has a very firm appearance, for all
descriptions of Tallow; the stock is on the deerease, and the
deliveries are going on largely—although prices are much
above those of this time last season.

The Right lion. G. S. Byng and Mr. H. Tufnell,
M.P., were prevented by the recent death of Mr. Byng from
attending Lord John Russell's dinner on Monday.
TEMPTATION AND ATONEMENT. Mrs. Gore's
clever novel " Men of Capital," is to be succeeded by
" Temptation and Atonement,"—a tale written in a very
different style, and which exhibits the extraordinary
versatility of the author's genius. The heart-stirring
earnestness of Godwin is said to be rivalled in the pages
of this story, which is one of the most thrillingour innature.terest,
and appeals to all the better sympathies of
Its appearance will, doubtless, be hailed with satisfaction
as affording proof that one of our most popular writers
has not been slow to profit by the hints of the press,
and is turning her unquestioned talents to sterling uses.
" STRAWBERRY HILL is once more attracting atten-
tion, but instead of being invited to a sale of its literary and
artistical treasures, the public is entertained by an introduc-
tion to its personal celebrities, in a very remarkable work,
just published, under this title, from the pen of the author of
Maids of Honour," " Shakspeare and his Friends," &c. In
its lively pages Horace Nik al pole makes an extremely in-
teresting hero, and when we say that his associates, in the
clever and amusing story in which he figures so prominently,
are the facetious George Selwyn, the brilliant Charles
Townshend, the famous' Bubb Doddington, the witty Sir
Charles Bary Williams, with Bolingbroke, Pulteney, Pel-
ham, and then other active spirits who were such prominent
features in the society of a century since, and that among
their fair contemporaries we find the eccentric Lady Town-
shend, the gay Lady Archibald Hamilton, and such of their
celebrated rivals in wit and beauty as were regarded as the
chief ornaments of the rival Courts of George 11., and bis Heir
Apparent, we have sufficiently indicated the great attraction
which" Strawberry Hill" possesses for all novel readers. As
an historical novel, indeed, there cau he no question that it
ie one of the most amusing that has been published for
some years.
