SUGAR.—There was little demand to-day from either
grocers or refiners for West India Muscovado Sugar, and
the private sales were only about 160 hhds anetierces,
without, however, any change in prices froM Friday last.
A public sale of Barbadoes, consisting of 124 hhds and
4 tierces, went off steadily, one or two lots went rather
above the valuations, but upon the whole prices were
considered unaltered; low middling greyish yellow sold
at 62s 6d, and good middling to fine bright yellow at 67s
to 71s 6d per cwt.
The present stock of West India Sugar is 2,262 hhds
and trcs more than at this period in 1840. We have also
a surplus stock of 62,749 bags Mauritius and 101,501
bags, &c. Bengal.
EAST INDlA.—Several large parcels of Bengal were
advertised for public sale to-day, but two only were
brought to the hammer, consisting of 1,411 bags • the
remainder being postponed. There was not much desire
on the part of the grocers to purchase, but the whole
sold at steady rates ; low middling to fine white at 63s
to 69s per cwt.
, MAURITIUS.—The only parcel brought to the ham-
mer to-day consisted of 605 bags, which sold at barely
former rates ; brown went at 58s to 595, low to good
middling yellow 60s 6d to 64s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—The market remains dull for all descrip-
tions, and prices still appear inclined to recede.. At
public sale 449 hhds Porto Rico were bought in, with
exception of two lots, at from 21s 6d to 23s Gd for mid-
dling to fine yellow, and at 19s to 20s Gd for good and
fine brown, which prices are full is per cwt below the
general valuations.
Refined Sugars for home use have continued in active
demand, and prices have again risen, standard Lumps
now bring 955. In Crushed made from goods refined in
bond for shipping there is not much doing at present, but
a good deal has been sold for forward delivery ; present
price of first quality 31s. Ilambro Loaves are held for
higher prices, viz., 33s to 39s according to size.
MoLAssEs.--At public sale 80 puns and 18 hhds New
Barbadoes were taken in at 29s for fine.

COFFEE.—The same heaviness that pervaded this mar-
ket last week, continued to-day, the trade being very un-
willing to purchase even to meet their wants. Scarcely
any business was done privately, ?lardOW public sales
wincli comprised only 400 bags Ceylon, and I 6 barrels
'Mocha went off very heavily ; the former nearly all taken
in at 70s for good ordinary, and country damaged at 67s ;
the latter shared the same fate at nos.
CocoA.--The market for this article yet remains
in a very dull state and prices continue their downly4r4

44s 6d per cwt. Foreign is yet very scarce, erd in con-
seciu( nce orders are with ditculty executed ; a sea do'
nog( cl parcel of Guayaquil was brought to tie hammer
on Friday, and disposed of at from 23s to 32s per nlitt",
which were considered to be good prices.
TEA.—The market was steady to-day, and prices firm'

inquired after by the trade, the strong kinds of the Were
especially, and a fair business was done—cornnl

Company's Congou in fair demand, and the cash priFe

PROVISIONS.—Foreign Butter has been taken off
freely at rather higher prices : fine has brought 989 tei,
100 s per cwt. Of Irish Butter we have some sr"'
arrivals, but the high prices asked prevent much being
bought at present : Waterford cannot be shipped uit-
der 102 s to 104 s free on board—Liverpool taking .the
princikel part of the small quantity yet corning lot°
the Irish markets ; the weather is very favourable fort
the make of the article, and we may shortly exPl,
better supplies and lower rates. The dulness will
has prevailed in the Bacon market has diminished'
rather more business is doing, and holders are firmer
as to prices. The high price of butchers! meat,
abunlance of all kinds of vegetables assist, this article
very much, and will doubtless very materially inctcase
the consumption ; prime and superior Waterford site'
able may be quoted at 57s to 60s, landed and .heal-Y
the
weights 2s to 3s less. Morton's cure brings
extreme prices. The imports have been more this' Yetf
in quantity and w; ight, while the stock is on a par. wit'
that of last year; this proves an increased consumption.
Lard steady at former rates. Irish Hams go off steadily
at former prices—prime Belfast and Limerick bring 683
to 72s per cwt.
011
RICE.—The demand for the inferior qualities of Betio ,
Rice continues extremely limited, and prices very low '
the good sorts are, however, inuired for, and 1,364 WO
good white bold, offered at pubic sale, were sold at 135
And the
to 13s Gd, being full prices.
SAG:.—At public sale 100 bags Pearl was sold at 18
6d to 19s, which is rather lower, and 100 bags
.Sitb"
Flour at 14s for good fair.
FRUlT.—There continues to be good . demand for er
port, and a good business is doing, chiefly in Currants
and Red Smyrna Raisins, at about the prices quoted.
PEPPER.—The public sales comprised 070 bags Vac"
and 30 bags white ; the former sold at 3d to 341-d forlovi
to good Sumatra, which is *d lower ; the latter sold at
sid to 81d per lb.
SPIRITS.—In the Rum market the greatest heaLi‘
ness continues to prevail ; scarcely any inquiry 11,7
been made after West India sorts, and so limited .are
the transactions that they are not worth enumerating
and prices must be considered nominally the same x,
last week. A little demand has existed for East .laul'i
for export, but at rather lower prices ; the sales amount
to 150 casks Bengal at from Is 4id to is sid per gall%
for proof strength, the proportion at the former pi"
said to be of indifferent quality. In Brandy or Gene‘f
no new feature has occurred—prices steady.
There is a very sluggish trade in rum, but 'Nicol.
unaltered to-day: proof Leewards are difficult to be
under 2s per gallon.
SALTPETRE.—Prices of East India Rough are 11,1
maintained, with a dull demand ; a part only of 2,3%
bags Calcutta offered at public sale was disposed of Po
26s to 27s for refraction 44- to 7 per cent, which is 6d t
2
s lower.
INDIGO.-150 serons Gnatemala at public sale were Ts;
posed of at from Is 7d to 7s, according to quality, 11'
prices are about former rates, except for the best I°
which were a shade dearer.
METALS.-225 tons Spelter have been bought bac • r
28/, and 100 tons sold at 28/ lOs per ton, at which latte
price the market is flat. East India Tin dull, and ratiter
lower ; 15 tons Straits sold privately at 70s per cwt..
r,
OlL.—There were brought to the hammer this attc
noon 83 tuns Sperm Oil, ex Massasoit, a Boston ; the
whole sold at from 911 to 911 15s per tun. iii
TALLow.—There was very little business doing pt
Russian Tallow to-day, but the price was stead.,;
about 46s 9d for Yellow Candle on the spot, alT,of
47s 6d for new to be delivered in the last three montil'elq
the year. At public sale 290 pipes 81 hhds 7 barrnj
South American were offered, the whole of which M 1
buyers at from 37s Gd to 43s per cwt.

COMPLETE COURSE OF INSTRUCTION 11l
THE FRENCH LANGUAGE, so as to entirely obviate:iv
necessity of leaving England to learn French.—NotT",i,
standing the numerous attempts to azcornplish this uev'er

little progressive books of Mons. Le Page (advertiso
in our paper this day), which consist of " L'Ech°

He is more enterprising, and not more scrupulons,eti

Jack Sheppard; more übiquitous and more faitl""h's
his pals than the Artful Dodger; more versatile in .
opinions, and active in his movements, than Jim Crotei

this clever novel, is constructed with uncommon sOlii

certainly make a hit—if, in these days of overeiceite'
ment, anything so natural can hope to do so. n 1,
SINGULAR MARRIAGE.—On Monday, f
rick Cowen, bachelor, and Sarah Ann Downes, spinster, be.,,
united in the bands of wedlock at the church of St. Dunstal!ib
Stepney, by Mr. James, the curate. The parties were bieeid
young and goad-looking, but both deaf and dumb. Fortuuat id;
both had been instructed in the schools instituted for the erA
cation of persons thus afflicted, and, by reading the service of
writing their assents to the questions propounded, the psr of

were made to understand the nature of the solemn Or'-d
marriage used in the Church. Cowen is a coal-whipper, IA
