(From the London Mercantile Journal qf May 18.)
SUGAR.—There were extensive public sales of all kinds
of Sugar available for home consumption to-day, which had
the effect of depressing the market, but a very large proportion
sold. Five parcels of British West India Sugar were brought
to the hammer, consisting of 342 hhds 14 tierces new
Barbadoes. and 292 hhds 59 barrels St. Lucia. There
was a good attendance of the trade at these sales, and
the Barhadoes all sold at full rates ; in some cases, however,
prices gave way a little ; low to fine yellow went at 63s to 72s
6d ; the St. Lucia went without spirit, and prices declined
Is per cwt ; the whole, however, sold at 69s to 70s 6d for low
to fine yellow, and brown 60s. to 61s tid. There was not much
business done privately, a few boards only being disposed of,
but these realized rather better prices than were obtained at
the public sales. The show of samples was very scanty.
MAURITIUS.—By pnblie auction were offered 6,911 bags
29 casks, which met a dull demand, and a part only was sold
at prices about is Gd per cwt below the rates of the sale on
Friday last; ordinary to fine yellow at his fid to 68s Gd, and
middling to fine brown at 55s to 60s Gd per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—The public sales comprised 9,500 bags
Bengal, which went off with considerable heaviness, and did
net conclude until a very late hour; prices were in most cases
Is to 2s lower than the current rates at the close of last week ;
middling to fine white Gls 6d to 70s, low and middling brown
at 49s 6d to 565, and washed ditto at 39s to 47s per cwt.
Foreign East India sorts continue dull of sale, but prices are
firmer ; at public sale 150 bags Madras at 325, and five per cent
duty, were bought in at 52s Eid to 535.
COFFEE.—The market generally was flat to-day, very little
business was done privately, and the auctions were trivial, con-
sisting only of 36 bales Mocha, 10 casks Jamaica, and 47 bags
Havannah. The former sold at 102 s 6,1 for floe ordinary old
quality, being the full value ; the latter taken in at 45s for
good ordinary, being about market rates.
MOLASSES, &c.—At public sale were offered 38 casks Mau-
ritius Molasses, and 303 casks Bengal Syrup, which were
chiefly bought in ; the former at 265, and the latter at 27s to
28s per cwt.
PafErro continues to secure stiff prices, and.the demand
is good : 94 bags offered at public s'a'e fetched 3id to 3id for
low and middling quality.. •

Glstoea.—For East India the demand is yet extremely
limited, and prices remain low ; 220 bags 13engat were brough t
to the hammer to day and sold at 17s for middling, being th
fitll value,
Rice.-'The demand for Bengal Rice continues dull, and
1,870 bags offered at public sale, went heavily at 8s 6d to 1 Is fAI
for very low to stood misfiling white, being 6d to is. lowe,r._

SPIRITS.—The Rum Market remains inactive, and a shade
easer prices have again been accepted ; the tran•actiues
of the week are about 100 puncheons Jamaica, 30 t°
36 over at 5s 2d to 5s Sd, with fine marks et 6s
to 6s 6d, 50 puncheons Leewards, proof to 11 ()left

strength at is 5d per gaion ; 50 hteis of the latter deserietioti
were brought to the hammer, and bought in at Is 10d fur 23
to 25 over proof. The demand for Brandy is limited, vrithuw'
any materal change in prices. Geneva steady at 2s for exports
and 2s 4d to 2s tio fur home consumption.
Peovisioes.—The Bacon market remains in an exceed:l4l4
flat state, and the tendency of prices is downward; the trade std!
being desirous to make sales, and offer prime sizeable Waterford
at Stis to 58s ; ditto Limerick at 54s to 555, and heavy at 52s t 0
54s landed; there are, however, few buyers. The agents lit
offe,s for Irish account still refuse to give way,, and 571)
58s are the rates generally asked for prime quality. Old Iris
Butter is totally unsaleable; consequently no prices can be
quoted, not even an offer can be obtained. Of new butter
have not yet any at market; best Waterford for immediAt°
shipment :a offering at 92s to 96s per cwt, upon which terra.
there are to buyers. Foreign Butter in fair request at stead,'
prices ; Friesland 96s to 935, fine Holstein 90s to 96', 8.3'
fine I:orai 4 z/2s to Ws per cwt.

do ,vnwarei tendency, and the market is very dull. Fine P.Y.G'
or the spot lust quoted at 46s to 46s 3d per cwt.
Oies.—The prices of Sperm Oil continues steady and a fair
demand is t xperienced for the article ; about 65 tuns
rican Oil, ex Massasoit from Boston, were put up to ptstbl?
sale on Wednesday, the whole of which found buyers with 1W
spirit at 91/. to 921. for fine quality. There has beep
fair demand for the common description. of Fish Oils, for balk',
home use and exportation, but more especially for Seal 80
Southern, and full prices have Leen obtained. Linseed Oil has
become dull of sale, and prices have further receded ;_ sales
made on the spot at 28s 9d, which price is now with difficult;
obtained. Rapeseed Oil is also very little inquired after, an
to effect a sale easier prices must be taken.
Lenin o.—The little business doing in East India clescriptini°s
continue to maintain the April sale prices, and the merchants
continue fiam; a few picked lots which were considered chcaP,e.
the sales have again been sold at a small profit. The "nt
liveries are very good. Spanish is held firmly though ne
much in demand ; at public sale 205 serons Guatemala ha
been offered, but about half was bought in ; the remainder
sold at 3d to 6d per lb advance on the previous sale for thebe9t
lots, but about 3d per lb cheaper for the lower sorts ; ordiearsi

DISTRESS AMONG THE PEOPLE. Otte Col'

there can neither pay for food, rent, or clothing. The houset;

a number of families are congregating together. Distraint, _tr;

sustenance, and their condition is becoming rapidly worse. 10,
same is the ease in Leeds. Distress has rarely, if ever, be

A FACT FOR THE CHURCH EXTEND ndir
—ln the parish of Raubon, near Wrexham, there is a I)°Ethst
lation of about fourteen thousand persons, and out of vie
number nearly twelve thousand attend regularly the of
smiting chapels. They have built twenty-three Plit.Tin 0
worship at a cost of nine thousand pounds, and that sot,iian's
period of twenty-five years. Whilst the " Poor 1'1404
Church" have only erected two places of worship durilerly
years, and hi those they have been aided by the 6° for

the attendance at both places never exceeds 760, so tbst_e,
