11AVANNIA11.—We have been favoured by a
commercial house in town, with the perusal of letters 'from
Ilavannah, to the 2d of April. Their contents, as to politi-
cal news, are uninteresting ; but they bring us some intelli-
gence of considerable importance to the commercial world in-
terested in colonial produce. Owing to an unfavourable season,
the crop of sugar for the present year, it was correctly ascer-
tained, would fall short in the shipment from the two ports
of Havannah and Matanzas, full eighty thousand boxes
(seventeen thousand tons), about one-fourth of the usual
crop. Besides this, the shipments of Spain were considera-
bly on the increase, now exceeding eighty thousand boxes
or chests ; and from these two circumstances, the supply of
sugar from Cuba to the continental markets in the north of
Europe must this year be very much reduced. This will no
doubt be felt in an increased demand upon this country for
sugar, the growth of our West India Colonies and East India
possessions, in order to supply the great deficiency of Cuba
sugar in the Earopean market.—( Glasgow Courier,)
THE LAST DAY OF THE LOTTERY.—The small
Number of Tickets remaining to Draw have the
unprecedented Number of Twelve Capital Prizes,
including Two of TWENTY THQUSAND POUNDS,
which, as well as every other Prize, Must all be
Drawn on SATURDAY NEXT, the 22d inst., when
ALL FINALLY CLOSES. A few Undrawn Tickets
and Shares are on Sale at the CONTRACTORS,
who hope to distribute the above at their Old
Offices, No. 37, Coruhill, No. 11, Holborn, and
No. 88, Haymarket.—J. and J. SIVEWRIQHT,
Contractors.

The young man who yesterday made the rash
attempt on his life with a razor at the Drury
Coffee House, is, notwithstanding the extent and
depth of the wound, considered by his medical
attendant, Mr. STANTON, in a fair way of reco-
very. He is a young man of respectable connec-
tions, and has for some years held a confidential
situation in a mercantile house, but having been
recently enticed into a Gaming-house with some
money of his employers about him, he unfor-
tunately lost it ; and this circumstance prey-
ing on his mind, urged him to the attempt he
made against his own life. The event has led to
the discovery of its cause, and the affair through,
the intervention of his friends, has been amicably
arranged with his employers. We abstain from
giving his name.
