enumerating, and there has been no public sale. For actin
at Rotterdam, on the 2d March, 24,029 bags Sumatra, 123,87 d
bags Java, and 1,093 brls are declared. For sale at Amsterdam,
on the sth March, 13,030 bags Sumatra, 169,577 bags Java,
and 2,110 brls are declared. A good many vessels have ar-
ffved off the coast with Coffee from the Brazils.
This :.`fternoon all kinds of East India and Cape Coffee were
in good request by private treaty, and prices have again im-
proved. British Plantation is wanted, but there is scarcely any
to be met with : the only public sale was 55 casks Java, which
went off at 80s to 87e 6d for fine green quality.
Cocoa.—Prices of British Plantation for home use remain
firm ; middling red Trinidad has fetched 555.
TEA.—The accounts received from Canton to Nov. 7th
being of a more decidedly unfavourable character than those
previously come to hand, a great number of Chinese sailors
having been killed in an action with two of her Majesty's
ships of war, and all the negotiations with Captain Elliott hav-
ing ceased, have produced much excitement in the Tea market
during the last two days ; the trade as well as speculators have
evinced much anxiety to purchase Free Trade Tea, but buying
has in some measure been checked in consequence of the
advanced rates demanded by holders, still there has been a
large business transacted at an advance on the rates of this
day week of 3id to 4d per lb, common Congou for cash selling
at 2s Ild to 2s 1 lid, and with a prompt 3s to 3s Id, Twankay
common at 3s to 3s Id for money, and 3s 2d to 31 2id with a
prompt ; the former has beets the most in request, and at
these rates several of the merchants are not disposed to sell,
being confident that from the long suspension of established in-
tercourse which must take place between this country and
China prices will be higher ; all the parcels of Tea offering
at reasonable prices have been bought up. In Company's Con
you the transactions have been extensive at the improved
rates of 3s Id to 3s 14d for cash, 3s 2d to 3s 3d with a one
and two, and 3s 4d with a three months' prompt, and some
parties are not inclined to sell on these terms. The monthly
sates, which commence on Monday next, consisting of 93,995
packages, or 6,514,300 lbs, are expected to be nnmerously at-
tended; at present there are a good many buyers in town from
various parts of the country. The Customs have seriously
thought of the subject of allowing Tea to be admitted at the
2s Id duty put on board British ships by the Americans, and
have stopped the cargo of the " Hucles, ' from Hoag Kong,
consisting of 3,762 chests, 2,644 half cheso, 1,000 boxes Tea,
in consequence of her not having the certificate of the British
Superintendent, and other cargoes coming in the same manner
will share the same fate. The cargo of the " Marmion," from
Hong Kong, has been positively admitted at the 2s Id duty.
The delivery last week amounted to 400,000 lbs.
This day the transactions in Free Trade Teas were exten-
sive ; speculators as well as the trade were eager buyers, and
prices again advanced, common Congou for cash selling at
Ild to 2s 110, with a prompt 3s op to 3s hi, Twankay
33 Id to 3s 4d money, with a prompt 3s 21-cl to 3s 3d. In
Company's Congou large sales were made at 3s 11td to 3s 2d
for cash, 3s 2nd with or - ii.onth's, 3s 4d with two months', and
3s 5d with a three months' prompt, and some parties will not
sell under 3s 6d for the latter purpose ; in fact, several holders
are not disposed to sell for such a length of time. It is now
impossible to buy under 3s 2d per lb for cash.
This afternoon at a late hour the operations in Tea were et.
tensive at the rates quoted above ; the number of country
buyers on 'Change was large, and the rates previously esta-
blished were refused for some large parcels.
MOLASSES.—West India are held firmly, and a fair amount
of business has been transact, d by private contract, at the rates
established on this day week; at auction, 105 puns 38 casks
Barbadoes were taken in, but sold after the sale at 36s for good
middling quality, and 189 puns of St. Lucia of dark descrip.
tions at 325.

Otr.s.—A steady demand has prevailed for pale Seal and
Cod Oil since we last wrote, chiefly for home use, and at the
rates quoted, In Southern former prices have been main-
tained. In Sperm Oil prices remain firm ; 40 tuns from New
York were taken in at 110/., the quality was not very fine.
Linseed Oil 24s 6d ; for delivery in the next three and four
months 25s 3d a 25s 6d. Rape Oil, pale, 37, a 37s 6d, and
brown 36s a 36s 6d. Palm in small parcels at 331 lOs a 341
lOs for gogd and fine quality. East India Cocoa Nut is held
for 43s a 43s 6d per cwt.
TALLOW.—Prices continue to advance for Russian Tallow,
and they now rate 9d to Is above those of this day week. On
the spot the demand has been brisk, at 50s 9d to 51s. For de-
livery in the next two months, 50s 6d to 50s 9d. For delivery
in October, November, and December, at the advanced prices
of 49s 9d to 50s per cwt.
This afternoon St. Petersburg Yellow Candle on the spot,
as well as for delivery in the next two months, at 51s to 51s
6d. For delivery in the last three months, at 49s 9d to 50s
per cwt. South American, 49s to 49s 6d for good quality. At
public sale 106 casks 14 bags stranded Russia Tallow sold at
48s 6d to 49s 6d per cwt.
Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.--For all kinds of Rum,
the demand has been very limited since we last wrote, and the
purchase in Jamaica and Leewards have not exceeded 100
puns, at previous rates for the former, but for the latter easier
prices have been accepted. For Brandy the demand has been
very extensive, and prices have advanced 2d per gallon ; spe-
culators have been the principal purchasers, in consequence of
there now being no doubt but that the duty will be reduced:
Cognac, Ist brands of the vintage of 1836, in puns and hhdl,
have been disposed of at 5s 2d to 5s 4d; ditto 1837, 5s to 5s
2d ; ditto 1838, 4s 9d to 4s l Id, and some parties are not in-
clined to sell at these rates. Geneva has sold steadily at 2s
to 2s Id. British Corn Spirits are firmer, and a good demand
has prevailed at 9s 10d to 9s I Id, and some houses will not sell
under lOs per gallon.

A line-of-baffle ship, a first-rate, is about to be
put on the stocks, to be called the Royal Albert.
The Observer for this week only is Two Sheets,

Kingdom can send a shilling in an envelope not pre-paid, di-
rected to Mr. Clement, jun., Observer Office, London, and
the two sheets will be sent by return of post. The Observer

day and Monday edition will be the same, time not admitting
of the usual alteration.
ST. JAMES'S PALACE.—The state apartments
at St. James's Palace were thrown open to the public on
Thursday and yesterday ; the crowds to witness them were
very great, but owing to the excellent arrangements
there was very little difficulty in getting a view. The gates
were opened at ten o'clock and closed at four. Only a few per.
sons were allowed to pass the barriers at a time, by which plan
all confusion and unpleasantness was obviated.
