CURIOUS CASE FOR THE CROWN LAWYERS
—We learn that. on Sattlo4 night the revenue cutter Jack-
son, Captain Bicker, was orderefl 14) the collector of this port
to proceed to sea in pursuit Of the peeletrship George Wash-
ingt;m, whose letters and papers Were received town on
Friday 4.st, but the vessel herself held off, and en the Hook,
for the phei:ase of escaping the duties of the present year.
It will be recel!egted that this packet had sailed from Liver-
pool for several YPa.F., pa-4 in the early part of December, un-
der contract not to enter -?..tew 'rli until after the Ist Ja-
nuary. in order to take the hencq tc ti.. gsual 10 per cent.

past in the present tariff IaWS, Mr. Swartwont ponsfrued
the law in favour of this, but M.. Hoyt the reverse. We are
not sure but be intends to condemn the tXtiole pare and vessel,
valued at 000,000 Acollars, for a violation of the sevenne laws,
if tue feet warrants tr. ft is also doubted by some whether,
under the facts of her arrival nntside—sending up her
letter-bags and papera—and then alain to sea for
the purpose alleged, do pot ?Asp vitiate her folic i of insur-
ance. If any accident shonld rake place, we' are interned
that one of the insurance ccrepanies would contest the
question, It will be recollected that tins brig Belie tell in
with the George Washington about 45 miles ,14, of Sandy
Hook, and there pot on hoard her letters and papers: to be
delivered in town. The guestion is, whether the George
Washington was on the

evasion of the revenue law for isapy tat_ any' rate, the fees
accruing, both to Mr. Hoyt and Mr. BOW, the crown offi-

scriptions, grocers as well as refiners purchased to a fair
extent, the sales amounting to 600 hhds and tierces ; there
was no public sale of Barbadoes.
IZEFIN ED. -The demand has been pretty good for Re-
fined goods for home use, and standard lumps have com-
manded 76s Gd to 775: the fine sorts command high rates.
Treacle of common quality at 32s per cwt. Patent and
the best old make extent at 33s to 34s Gd per cwt.
Pieces ere rather higher for bright descriptions.
Bastards above 50s have found a fair sale, but the
transactions in those under that figure have been on a
small scale. Bonded Crushed Sugar to supply immediate
orders at 34s per cwt. Loaves at 37s (id to 38s for 101bs,
and 36s Gd to 37s for 141bs. Treacle at 12s 6d per cwt.

To-day the operations in bonded Crushed Sugar were
on a more extended scale at 34s per cwt. The grocers
are free buyers of nearly all descriptions of goods, and 77s
is now the quotation for standard Lumps. Treacle is not
to be purchased under 325.
i%lAt -This afternoon 6,895 bags of the new crop
were submitted to public competition, and all disposed of
with fair spirit, at previous rates ; fine yellow 67s to 68s,
good 663 to 66s 6d, good middling 643 to 655, middling
62, 6(.1 to 63s 6d, low 64s to 625, mid grey 61s 6d to 625,

to 55s Gd per cwt.
EAST INDIA. -The home trade have purchased freely of
white descriptions of Bengal, and prices have improved 6d
per cwt for good sorts, other kinds have supported their
former currency ; at public sale, 5,433 bags have been
offered, the whole of which was disposed of, and there was
much competition amongst buyers ; good coloury fetched
695 6d to 70s 6d, mid end good middling 68s to 695, low
middling 66s 6d to 675, cashed and damps Gls 6d to 70s,

nab, and the merchants have refused to sell excepting at
previous rates ; White is not to be purchased on lower
terms ; Brazil at rather higher prices for brown, grey, and
low white descriptions, which are wanted, principally by
our refiners ; for good white kinds prices remain firm.
MoLAssEs.-This afternoon 5 casks 32 tanks Molasses
and 324 casks Sugar and Molasses all from the Mauritius,
and duty paid, were put up to public sale, the former sold
at 23s 6d to 25s Gd for dark quality, the latter went cheaper,
viz. at 33a to 34s for that subject to the 16s Gd duty, and
37s for that subject to the 19s duty.
TEA.-There was a brisk demand for Free Trade Con-
gou and Twankay last week from the trade; extensive
parcels were also taken by speculators, and the merchants
obtained prices q,d to 2d above those of the auctions
which finished on Monday week, the former realising
2s 11d a 2s 11 .?:,d money, and 3s to 3s Old with a prompt;
the latter 3s to 3s Id cash, and 3s 2d to 3s 2id with a
prompt. Tie better kinds of Tea were in good request, and
brous ht rather higher rates. In Company's Congou the
operations were extensive at the improved rates of 3s OV.
a 3s Id cash, and 3s 2d to 3s 21d with a prompt,
and at these rates some parties were not inclined
to sell. Yesterday, however, there was less busi-
ness doing in Fee° Trade Tea, but holders re-
fused to reduce their pretensions. In Company's Congou
there seas not much passing, and 3s was accepted for cash.
To-day there was not much business doing in Free Trade
Tea, but the merchants generally remain firm, and do not ap-
pear disposed to sell, even at last week's rates ; in some cases
however easier prices have been submitted to by weak holders.
For common Congou for money 2s 10d to 2s 10d has been
accepted, 3s with a prompt; Twankay cash 3s, and 3, Id
to 3s 2d with a prompt , for Company's Congou there are
not many buyers just now, 3s is the quotation for money,
and 3s hi to 3s 2d with a two and three months' prompt.
This afternoon at a late hour there Was more inclination
to buy Tea, and a fair extent of business was done at rather
better prices ; Company's Congous are 3s Old to. 3 2id
money and prompt.
COFFEE -For clean qualities of West India there has
been a brisk demand since we last wrote, and prices have
improved 2s to 3s per cwt. The supply is not adequate
to the wants of the trade ; unclean kinds have been taken
more freely, and have commanded rather higher rates.
This afternoon a fair amount of business was transacted
by private contract in British Plantation at the rates
quoted in our table ; large orders are prevented from being
executed in consequence of the short and indifferent
supply at market; none was put up by public sale. All
descriptions of East India and from the Cape were in
good request privately, and in most cases brought rather
higher rates ; 1222 bags Padang at public sale, subject to
the 91 duty ; sold at prices is to is 6d above those paid
in the market last week, or 3s to 4s higher than those of
the last auction; fine ord mixed green fetched 71s to
7is 6d, the bulk at the former figure, sea damaged went
at 63s to 69s 61 per cwt. Java by private contract has
been sold at 84s for fine pale, and 81s for rather inferior.
Rem, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS -A brisk demand has
prevailed for Jamaica Rum, and buyers have been com-
pelled to pay a further advance of Id per gallon ; the
purchases have amounted to 500 puns, 20 to 25 per
cent over proof at 4s led to 5s 3d, 26 to 30 over
5s 4d to 5s 6d, 33 to 37 over 5s 7d to 6s, and
stronger Cs ld to 6s 5d per gallon ; in Leewards
a fair amount of business has been transacted at
former rates for common qualities, but the better kinds
have brought rather higher prices ; the quantity dis-
posed of since we last wrote amounts to 400
piles, proofs to 2 over at 3s 4d to 3s sd, 3 to 10
over 3s 6d to 3s 10d, 11 to 18 over 3s led to 4s sd.
20 to 27 over 4s 6d to 10d, 28 to 40 over 4s lld to
5s sd, and at these rates holders ere firm ; for some par-
cels of East India the prices previously quoted have been
paid. Brandy has secured a fair sale at the rates we men-
tioned on Tuesday last. Geneva has been taken sparingly
at 2s to 2s Id per gallon. For British Corn Spirits the
demand has been dull at our quotations.
To-day holders of Leeward Island Rum refused to sell
excepting at a further advance of Id to 2d per gallon;
several sales in proofs were made at 3s 6d per gallon, and
excepting at the latter figure, there arc now few sellers.
Jamaica in steady request at our quotations.

mon light Sumatra at 31c1; other kinds at previous rates.

This ..fternoon the only auction was that of 252 bags
Sumatra Pepper, which sold at 4d per lb.
INDIGO. -The quarterly sales of East India which corn-
meeced this day were but thinly attended by country
buyers, and there were few narties present from the Con.
tieent ; the quantity brought forward amounted to 6765
chests. Although the leading proprietors have brought
in shoot 730 chests, in most instances at prices equal to
those of last sale, yet when a desire to realize has been
maivfe .d by others, prices have been very uneven, ruling
from 3d to 64, and in some few instances to 91 discount
on the mixed and ord sorts, as compared with the October
sale', IA ices. 12 chests very low Kurpah were brought in
from 3s ;Id to 4s. 6 chests low Bombay were sold at
2s 6(1.
TALLOW.-In Russian Tallow prices have improved 6d
to 9d per cal, first quality selling freely at 49s 6d to 49s
9d. Foe delivery in spring months the quotation improved
to 49s fi i prr t=int. For delivery in the last three months
the mei fshants are not disposed to make contracts under 48s
per pet. Town Tallow has been in good request, and
prices eantinue to improve.
Oros -.There has been a fair business transacted in the
common descriptions of Fish Oils; Cod has fetched 291 to
2yl 10 Pale Seal 304 and Southern 2S/ lOs to 261 for low
to floe qiialite ; for auction on Friday 300 tuns arc de-
ed, For Linseed Oil a good demand has prevailed,
the crushers having accepted the low rates of 22s to 22s
3d per cwt.
