COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—The attention of the trade has been principallr
directed to the pehlie c.d.:, of Mauritius, consequently only
a limited business has been done in British Plantation, the
transactions in which only amount to about 350 casks, in-
cluding 115 hhds Berbice, and 97 tierces of crystalised St.
Vincents, offered by auction, which brought respectively 38s

THE CROPS.—The late rain has had a visible effect
in the improved appearance of the crops in this neigh-
bourhuod, particuhirly the wheat. In the gardens also
its beneficial effects arc experienced, and pears are now
plentiful (Thursday), at 9d. per peck, and on Saturday
(this day) there is no doubt they may be readily pur-
chased at 6d. Many samples of new potatoes from dif-
ferent parts of the county have been shown of good size,
very clear, and perfectly free from disease. There is a
good sprinkling of fruit—certainly not the abundance
of some seasons—which, we understand, in some other
counties is deficient, except that useful and pleasant
fruit, the apple, which, we are glad to state, is generally
reported to be abundant.—Bedford Mercury.
A tradesman in Bath has the following printed
upon his shop bills:—
" My books are so crammed, and bad debts I've so many,
I'm resolved that in future I'll not trul,t a penny ;
Giving credit to friends often friendship endangers.
And I hope ne'er again to be cheated by strangers., '
