clined to submit to any further reduction, and the rates o

of buyers.
The public sales comprised 58 hhds 59 trcs 19 bits St.

for none use were extremely limited, and prices further
gave war, standard lumps selling at 92s to 92s 6d ;
treacle dull ot sale, common at 375; pieces and bastards
are scarcely ee..ke.d for. In Bonded Crushed sugar a geed
many sales were made at 325 9d to 33s p,r cwt. le
Lo Ives no variation.
Meueertu3.—This afternoon the transactions privately
were on a small scale, and only 205 bags were offered at
auction, which neat rather cheaper—viz., at 71s for low
yellow, and 693 for tine brown.
EAST le:mi.—This afternoon 317 bags Bengal, and
2,661 bags tiiam were submitted to public competition,
the former sold at 80e to 835 for good bright yellow, damps
79s to Gls ; the latter nearly all taken in at steady rases,
viz. low middling and good white at 25s to 26s 6d.
FoiaiGN.—Holders of yellow Havannah having submit..
ted to lower rates by 65 per ewt have caused buyers to
come forward more freely. The Porto Rico and (Javan-
nah Muscavado at 22s to 23s 6d for greyish brown and good
middling yellow.
This afternoon buyers evinced a little desire to purchase
Brezil at the public sales which comprised 121 chests and
347 barrels, the whole was taken in at 24s 61 to 253 for
middling white Pernams, beine the full value.
MOLASSES. —This afternoon 146 puns West India were
offered at public sale, and a small part only found buyers
at easier rates ; mid St. Kitts and Demerara went at 323;
Dominica and St. Vincents, of good fair quality were
taken in at 34e, and St. Lucia 32e per cwt.
COFFEE.—The demand has become limited for clean
sorts of West India Coffee, especially for middling descrip-
tions, which have not supported their former value by 2s
to 33 per cwt; ordinary and unclean sorts however have
brought prcvious'rates.
This afternoon the home trade operated with caution,
and the transactions were almost exclusively confined to
the public sales, which comprised 8,000 bags sea
damaged St. Domingo from the Cape, 659 bags
Ceylon, 445 bales Mocha, and 104 casks St. Jago
de Cuba from the Cape ; St. Domingo was taken by the
shippers at stiff prices, Ist class fetched 42s to 43t,

tendency ; Trinidad 51s to 54s 6d paid for low and mid-
ling red, and 55s to 58s for good and fine : low and good
Grenada 48e to 52s per cwt.
Tza.—The market for Free Trade Tea has been in a
dull state since this day week, and, although holders have
submitted to a reduction on the rates of the auctions of Id a
lid per lb, still the trade has bought with extreme caution by
private treaty, and common Congou rind Twankay during
the past week have been disposed of at 2s lid for cash. In
the speculative market much heaviness has prevailed, and
prices have suffered a depression of 3d per lb, sales in Com-
pany's Congou having been made at 2s to 2s Oid for cash.
The deliveries at this part during the past week have
amounted to 400,000 lbs.
The public sales to-day were looked for with much inte-
rest by all parties connected with the Tea Trade, and the
result has proved a great disinclination of the trade to pur-
chase, whilst the merchants for the most part refused
to submit to any material reduction on the rates of
of the last sales; the total quantity offered amounted to
17,600 packages, and the biddings were extremely languid
throughout the morning, although there was a good at-
tendance ot the trade. Congou was all withdrawn without
the importers naming a price, excepting 300 chests,
which went Id to lid under last sale's rates, and the
small quantity of Green Tea that was disposed of
went off at lid to 2d under the rates of Tuesday
last for Hyson and Twankay, and 2-tri to 3d for Young
Hyson. Out of the total quantity put up, only 2,700 pkga
were actually disposed of. Congon, mid str full Sou fla

more demand.
Rear, BRANDY, AND 110LLANDS.—The arrivals of West
India Rum having been large, and both shippers and the
borne trade operating with much caution, have caused
holders to be desirous to realise, and they have submitted
to a further reduction of ;id to Id per gallon. The trans-
actions in Leewards have been limited, and have not ex-
ceeded 150 puns, proofs at 2s 90 and 2 to 7 per cent.

per cent overproof ; there were not buyers within 2d of
these rates. 120 casks Mauritius have been disposed of at
2s 7d for 1 per cent overproof. Holders of 13,andy are more
disposed to realize, and the operations have been on a small
scale, Cognac first brands, of the vintage of 1836, has
been selling at 53 21 in hhds, and 53 in puns ; ditto 1837,

SIR THOMAS DICK LAUDER'S LEGENDARY
TALE.; OF THE HIGHLANDS.—These records of past c,:ents.
are peculiarly aelcornc. Such sketches are not only highly,.
attractive in tlicms,-I,es, as embodying tales of lev.e, of
heroism, or of deadly feud ; but usyfully instructive as Illus-
trating the manners, habits, and modes of thinking In a
former age, and in a state of society that can now be
scarcely said to exist. Tales like those before us, chro-
nicle romantic passages in the domestic events of a people
which the more stately page of history is apt to overlook'
their
but which, nevertheless, throw a flood of light upon
moral and social condition. The incidents and characters
involved in the tales, ate as varied as the lovers of th
msue
wonderful could desire ; here charming us by rough hu
and romantic achievement, there startling us by fearful
deeds of blood and savage barbarity.—Caledonian Mercury.
ACCIDENTS WITH THE OAKLEY HOUNDS•
hounds,rs. Knight,an d of
weState,
oriding ,
—On Monday, the Ist inst., an accident happened to a
erywistehriotht;
lOadayklyMregret Harrold),to
nature. The hounds were going away in the direction of
Souldrop-hill, and the fair equestrian was riding well up
to them, as she generally does, when, having cleared a
leap, the horse fell, in consequence of the frost not having
been quite thawed. The horse rolled over, and Mrs. Knight
sas unable to extricate herself in consequence of
habit having got entangled with the pommel of the saddle;
the horse struck out, and unfortunately fractured the
lady's arm, the elbow being already dislocated by the fall.
Immediate assistance was rendered, but we grieve to add,
that the account given of the injuries is very uafavour-
able. That day week (last Monday), the hounds met at
Cranfield, and went away with a fine fox. In the course
of the run, Mr. Bailey. of Ickwell, a hard rider and a good
sportsman, met with a f.dl and broke his arm.—Hertfo

Reformer.
The Long Stratton Steeple Chase took place on
Wednesday last. Six horses entered for the plate of 60
toys., added to a sweepstakes of 5 soya. each, and it was
won by Mr. Brown's Corringham, beating the Hon. B.
Wodebouse's Bertha, Mr. Mason's horse, Mr. Wooton's
Victoria, and Mr. Isham's Job's Comforter. We regret to
say that Mr. Carden's Newrran Noggs, which also started,
met with an accident, and was obliged to be killed on the
field. The plate of 20 sovereigns, added to a sweepstakes
of 3 sovs., was won by Mr. Land's Victoria, beating the
Hon. B. Wodchouse's Petrel, Mr. W. Bignold's Modesty,
Mr. Smith's Grimtldi, and Mr. Wooton's Jessie. A large
party afterwards dined at the Swan Inn, Mr. Sh.eldrako
Smith in the chair. An excellent dinner was provided by
Libbis.—...Norfolk Chronicle.
