MAURITIUS.—The demand for the good grocery
descriptions has been steady, and full prices have been
paid ; while the lower qualities have gone off without
spirit, and mostly at is to 2s per cwt. decline on pre-
vious rates ; the public sales have offered 2,036 bags,
which went off with less spirit than recently, but the

been offered, consisting of 208 chests 393 barrels 127
bags Rio, with a few chests of Bahia ; the whole of
the former was bought in above the value, there being
no inclination to pal,- late prices ; good middling

tinues a steady demand at full prices ; Standard Lumps
82s. Foreign refined in bond—in Crushed there appears
but little doing; small parcels second quality have been
sold at 295. Loaves are still much neglected.

There were offered in public sale 158 casks Dominica
Cane Juice, which sold at 27s to 30s per cwt.
COI TEE.—The home consumption market has assumed
a more buoyant appearance this week, and although there
has been no particular increase of business, a better feel-
ing appears to exist amongst the trade towards the article,
especially as the importers of the better class of Coffees
continue to withhold their stocks from the market, in an-
ticipation of some improvement on the present low rates.
The•public sales to-day were important, consisting of
1,002 bags Ceylon, 48 casks Jamaica, 1,368 bags La
Guayra, 2,415 bags Java, and 68 bales Mocha: the Ceylon

per cwt decline—viz., at 42s to 475, first class sea-da-
maged at 42s Gd to 435, and second ditto at 40s 6d to
41s ; the Mocha was very ordinary poddy, and was
bought in at 60s per cwt.
COCOA.—There has been a fair demand for West
India sorts, and the market has been more buoyant than
could have been expected, with the large arrivals of the
last few days. Guayaquil, good clean red at 33S 6d to
345, and• slightly mouldy at 29s 6d to 30s ; 323 bags
Para sold yesterday at 37s 6d to 38s, one lot at 38s Gd

TEA.—The public sales which commenced on Friday
were brought to a close yesterday, when rather more
firmness was apparent, and Congous and Twankays
recovered the depression of Friday. Pouchongs sold
a shade lower, and a part was rejected by the trade, in
consequence of its being spurious. Of the whole
quantity offered about 12,000 packages were sold. In

waiting for the overland mail, the express in anticipa-
tion o!- which is expected towards the close of the week.

tremely dull, ani prices have again receded, 46s 6d to
47s being the nearest price on the spot, and 46s 6d for
delivery up to the end of the year ; these figures
are however little better than nominal, there being so
little business doing. On Friday several parcels of Tal-
low were brought to public sale and nearly all disposed
of ; 162 pipes 18 hhds 6 barrels South American at
from 40s 6d to 4Gs ; 150 casks St. Petersburgh Yellow

' account of the depressed state of the times. This:
circumstance created lunch surprise amongst those who
knew her, she to all appearance having to combat against
hard fortune, in all its hideous forms, invariably living
on what she gained by asking charity, and had front
time almost immemorial received a small weekly allow-
ance from the neighbouring township of Plumpton,
where she belonged, and ou 'her departure she was
presented with 51. to assist her in her Atlantic expedi-
tion. From iatelligenee lately received, this trip across
the vast ocean, seems to have acted powerfully on the
system of the old lady, who was now no longer a
beggar, for immediately on her arrival in the new
world, she shook off the hapless mask of misfortune,
purchased a small estate, whereon she erected a com-
fortable dwelling, where she now leads a happy life in
the, midst of plenty,. her means drained as charity,
from a generous and feeling public at Knaresborough.-
