(From the London New Price Current of March 6: )

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For Leeward Island
Rum a brisk demand has prevailed since we last wrote, and
the prices paid show an advance on those of this day week
of id to Id ; strong kinds have been the most in favour ; the
total sales have amounted to 450 puns, proofs at 3s 7id to
36 Bd, 2 to 6 over 35 Bid to 3s 10d, 7 to 12 over 3s lld to
4s 2d, 14 to 18 over 4s 3d to 4s 6d, 20 to 25 over 4s 8d to
4.; 10d, 26 to 33 over 5s to 5s 4d, 35 to 38 over 5s 6d to 5s 8d ;
in Jamaica a fair business has been transacted, and prices
continue to improve. 150 puns have been disposed of, 28 to 35
per cent over proof at' 5s 8d to 6,, 36 to 38 over 6s ld,
stronger and choice marks 6s 3d to 6s 6d; the stock in
first hands is very small, particularly of Jamaica ; there are
not further sellers of proof Leewards under 3s 8d; only 166
puns have been imported since we last wrote ; the stock
is rather larger than last year at this period. East India Rum
is held for a further advance, and 3s 9d to 3s 10d is required
for 10 per cent over proof. In Brandy there has been only
a limited business doing ; prices, however, remain firm ;
Cognac, first brands of the vintage of 1836 is held for 5s 3d
to 5s 6d in puns and hogsheads, ditto 1837 5s 2d to 5s sd,
ditto 1836 5s to 5s 3d, ditto 1839 4s 11d to 55 2d ;
if the merchants would accept a penny to three halfpence under
these rates it would lead to the disposal of large quantities. Ge-
neva is less in request, and rather lower; is lld to 2s have
been am) ted for shipping quality. British Corn Spirits have
been in excellent demand at 10s, and so me of the distillers will
not enter into further contracts under lOs Id, and some require
lOs 2d per gallon.
TEA.—The trade have purchased sparingly of Black Tea
since we last wrote, and capitalists have evinced very little in-
clination to do business; parties who have been compelled
to sell for cash to meet their prompts have accepted lower
prices, and have taken 2s 3d to 2s 5d for common Free
Trade Congou, and some parcels under urgent circum-
stances have been disposed of, even rather under
the former figure ; all the parcels, however, offering at
these low rates have been bought up, an some lots of blackish
leaf offering at 2s. 7id were readily disposed of ; at these rates,
however, the chief merchants will not sell, being of opinion
that, in consequence of the critical position in which the
trade of this country with China is placed, prices will ere
long improve, and there is nothing offering of ordinary
Congou now under 2s 5d per lb. For prompts
there are very few sellers of Tea excepting at the
rates established at the last monthly sales, and some of the large
merchants are not disposed to accept these terms, but at the same
time the transactions have been on a small scale ; a few contracts
have Leen made at 2s 614 d to 2s 7d for ordinary Congou ;
buyers generally are disposed to wait for further accounts
from Canton, and which are anxiously looked for, and may
be expected in the early part of next week, In green Tea
the transactions have been principally confined to Twankay for
cash, which has been sold at lower rates, 2s 6d to 2s 6id having
been accepted for common quality ; nearly all parcels offering
at these rates however have found buyers, and there are not fur-
ther sellers under the latter figure ; for.prompts there are few sel-
lers and not many buyers ; some small contracts, however, have
been entered into at 2s 7id to 2s Bd, and the general opinion is that
after the heavy prompt is met, which falls due to-day, there
will be a much better demand, especially if the news from
China should be of the same perplexed nature as that
previously come to hand. For Company's Congou there
has been less demand ; parcels for money have been dis-
posed of at 2s 7d to 2s Bd, with one and two months
prompt at 2s 8d to 2s 9d, and with a three months
prompt at 9s 10 ; the business done, however, has been princi-
pally for cash, few parties being disposed to sell for prompts :
rather under the rates quoted above capitalists seem disposed to
make investments in Tea.

To-day prices underwent no change for Free Trade Tea, but
there was only a limited business doing for prompts ; for cash,
however, large parcels of common Twankay were disposed of at
23 6id to 2s 7d, and common Congou at 2s 5..1.1 to 2s 6d per
lb ; at these rates few parties are now inclined to sell, the
heavy prompt, consisting of 70,000 chests, having been well
met. Company's Congou is selling to a fair extent at 2s 8d to
to 2s Rid for cash, and 2s 9d to 2s lOd with prompts.
This afternoon at a late hour prices were firmer ; large
purchases were made in common Congou for cash at 2s 6d,
and in ordinary Twankay at 2s 7d, at these rates it is even
difficult to purchase; for prompts there is a better inclination
shown to do business, and a good many purchases were made
in ordinary Congou at 2s 7d to 2s 7id, and Twankay 2s 8d to
2s Sid. In Company's Congou several contracts were entered
into at 2s 8d to 2s 104 d for money and prompts; tie market
closed with a much firmer appearance. The overland mail
is looked for with more anxiety than has been the case since
the stoppage of the trade between this country and China.
Few of the catalogues for the next sale have been issued,
and it is uncertain at present what it is the intention of the mer-
chants to bring forward ; all will depend on the accounts re-
ceived from China.
SUGAR.—The show of British Plantation Sugar being still
small and indifferent, has operated against business. Bar-
badoes sold freely 6d above former rates for
fetched
and
middling kinds, the better sorts at full prices ; fine l
70s
6d to 71s, low middling to good 66s to 695, one lot very ordi-
nary 64s rer cwt.

DEATH OF THE DUKE OF MARLBOROI.IOO.
—We regret to have to announce the death of his Grace th.
Duke of Marlborough, which event took place on Thursday
Blenheim. Had his Grace survived a day longer he would have
completed his seventy-fourth year. He succeeded his father,
the fourth Duke, in January, 1817, having married in 1791 the
Lady Susan Stewart, daughter of the seventh Earl of Gallo-
way, and aunt of the present Earl. His Grace, besides his
English titles' was a Prince of the Roman Empire. By the
elevation of his eldest son, the Marquis of Blandford, to the
Dukedom, &c., a vacancy has been created in the represents'
non of Woodstock, the family borough. The present DUB
was born in December, 1793, and married in 1819 his cousin,
Lady Jane Stewart, sister of the Earl of Galloway.

A curious specimen of fossil remains was lately
discovered by a labourer, who was employed in digging flints,
near Bratton Castle. It has the appearance of a monkey; thei
head being in an excellent state of preservation ; and is believeo
to be a specimen of that tribe by all who have seen it.— Devizes
