)ect for all good

grey, white, and yellow kinds.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were largely dealt in
by the home trade, and a further rise in the value took place
—brown melting lumps selling at 63s 5d to 645, brown
grocery 64s 6d to 655, and standard lumps 65s 6d per cwt.
For Bonded Crushed Sugar prices are firm at 36s 6d to 37s
for the best, and little is to be had.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon 896 bags of Madras were
offered at public sale, and all sold at about the former value.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was a lively demand
for Mauritius Sugar, and 8,861 bags, 18 casks, at auction,
were all sold, generally at an advance on the rates of the last
public sales of 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon 100 bags of Sugar, imported
from Dunkirk, were offered at auction, and taken in at 51s
for fine strong yellow.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was sparingly
dealt in by private treaty; and 41s 6d to 42s per cwt. is the
value of good ord pale. Plantation met with little atten-
tion; and 610 bags at auction were only partly sold at 57s
to 59s 6d for fine ord bold pale greyish, 55s for very gt od
ord, and at 49s to .56s for country d maged.
TEA.—The market for all descriptions of Black and Green
has presented a dull appearance all the week; and the
amount of business transacted privately has been trifling.
The rates taken show a slight decline on those that existed
previously. The biddings were very languid at the public
sales, which began yesterday and finished this afternoon.
RICE.—To. day there was little desire manifested to operate
in Bengal Rice; at the public sales of 2,470 bags 149 packets
were nearly all taken in at about the former value.

Coatimian.—This afternoon the quantity of Cochineal
offered at auction was 198 bags, but a part only sold at about
former rates for fine silvers, whilst the lower sorts went Id
to 2d lower.

FRULT.—Denis Raisins, in baskets, for wine making are
still much wanted. Valentias are dull, and 38s to 40s per
cwt. are the rates taken. The stock of Turkey pulled Figs
being heavy, holders accept 42s to 50s. Greek have met with
a dull sale at 345, and inferior 32s to 335. Currants are in
good request, and holders manifest firmness.
Srnu'rs.—ln Jamaica Rum the business transacted has
been rather limited, and prices must be regarded as nominal.
East India of proof strength can be obtained at 3s 4d to
3s 6d. Leeward Isiand is neglected, and 3s 8d to 3s 9d are
the nearest quotations for proof strength. In Demerara
nothing has been done. In Brandy only a limited business
has been done by exporters or the home trade, and owing to
the increasing stock, holders are inclined to realise.
Imizao.—Of East India a fair quantity has been taken,
the rates paid are fully equal to those of the last quarterly
sales, and, in some cases, rather above.

TALLow.—Holders of Russian accepted prices 3d to 6d per
cwt under those that previously prevailed ; still only a
limited business has been transacted. For delivery in the
last three months of the year a good demand has existed,
and 46s 6d to 46s 9d are the rates given. The value of
home made is 50a to 50s 6d uett cash for present delivery,
but the demand is leas active, and there is a fair supply.
Ons.—The demand has increased considerably for Lin-
seed oil, and prices have ,risen 2s to 2s 6d per cwt. Rape
seed oil met with a lively demand. Inverters of olive have
much confidence, as the home demand is still active, and a
fair quantity having been taken for exportation. Palm is
yet little wanted for exportation, but a good home demand
exists. Cocoa nut has further advanced in value. Lard oil
has been disposed of to a fair extent. There has been a
brisker demand for cod oil, and a slight rise in prices took
place. Southern met with a good demand, and the supply
at present being small, a further rise in value for all descrip-
tions took place.

TuRPErriLNE.—In Rough only a moderate business has
been done but the stock being small, holders are enabled to
obtain llstol is 6d per cwt. for small parcels. Spirits move
off slowly, English at 49s to 50s, and American ats Os per
cwt duty paid casks included.

Hori—lThe demand is far from active, but factors are un-
willing to reduce their prices and offer only a limited quan-
tity for sale.
Satarcrax.—The demand has been active for all descrip-
tions of rough this week, the rates paid have been fully equal
to those of this day week, and 2,305 bags of Calcutta at auc-
tion were all sold.

AMERICAN IRON.—The first bar of American
railroad iron was made in 1844, and an American paper now
states that there are at present 16 or 18 mills, at which it
is made at the rate of. about 120,000 tons per annum.
"This amount is sufficient to lay, four miles of railroad
per day, or 1,200 miles per year,'" and hence the prospect
of any large exportation from Great Britain at the prices
to which our inordinate railway speculations have driven
this commodity can hardly be looked for. The Trenton
iron-works (New York) alone have entered into a con-
tract to furnish the New York and Michigan lines with
9,000 tons of rails during the current year, and the capacity
of their works will enable them in addition to supply
the market with 200 tons per month. In Pennsylvania
the use of the anthracite coal, which abounds in that state,
appears to have stimulated this branch of manufacture, since
there are now 40 furnaces in blast - many of them of the
largest class—where this kind of fuel is consumed, although
in 1840 none existed in successful operation. There is one
iron manufacturing company in Pennsylvania which alone
consumes 60,000 tons of anthracite and 100,000 bushels of
bituminous coal annually.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN REGENT-STREET, WESTMIN-
STEE.—This morning, shortly before one o'clock, a rapidly-
destructive fire was discovered burning upon the premises
occupied conjointly by Mr. Willis, a carpenter and builder,
and Mr. Mills and Mr. Woed (private), situate No. 102,
Regent-street, Westminster. The flames, when first per-
ceived, were raging in the front parlour, and although the
inmates were immediately made aware of the disaster, they
had the greatest difficulty in effecting a safe retreat from the
blazing property. The intelligence having been forwarded
to the tire-stations, with all possible expedition the Horse-
terry-road engine arrived, and was followed by that of the
West of England Company, and numerous others of the
London Brigade and County establishments. As SK/011 as
water could be obtained from the mains in the district th«,
engines were set to work, but the flames by that period bad
obtained the complete possession of the lower portion of the
building, and, notwithstanding the copious streams of water
that were discharged into the premises, the flames continued
to progress most fearfully, and, in less than half an honr
after the outbreak, the house became enveloped in fire from
the basement to the roof. For some time great fears were
entertained for the safety of the two adjoining houses, occu-
pied respectively by Mrs. Sitford, haberdasher, and Mr. Gil-
ling, general dealer. Owing, however, to the exertions of
the firemen, the flames were confined to the premises in which
they originated, but they were not entirely extinguished
until the building was gutted, and the whole of the furniture
and wearing apparel of the occupants totally destroyed. The
origin of the calamity could not be ascertained. Unfortu-
nately, the sufferers were all uninsured. Superintendent
Lowry and Inspector Moren, with a strong body of policemen,
rendered essential services to the firemen by keeping the
crowd out of the way.
COMMITTAL TO NEWGATE FOR DILUTING MILK.—
A man named Henry Stanley, in the service of Mr. Nokes,
a farmer, at Stiflord Clays, in Essex, and contractor for the
supply of milk to the Bethnal-greeniUt Union, was
animal's health,
mhietatletdh,
to Newgate by Mr. Broughton on Wednesday, for having
mixed water with the milk sent to the workhouse. The
milk was brought from Mr. Nokes's farm in Essex, by rail-
way, in locked cans, which the prisoner then took to the
union. He conttived, however, on the way to abstract
, several gallons by turning the cans upside down, and letting
some of the milk run out through the air holes, and then to
fill the cans again with water. A great deal of merwurtasimabesuot.
was caused by a middle-aged person, who had exhibited
great interest on the prisoner's behalf, and whob

scribed to be a milkman in considerable business, earnesth
