StTGAß.—There has been very little business done in Bri-
tish Plantation, the attention of the trade being entirely oc-
cupied with the large public sales. Only about 250 hhds
have been sold at rather lower prices, establishing a decline
of 6d to is per cwt. The public sales have consisted prin-
cipally of 4,563 bags, 296 casks Mauritius, 4,540 bags
Bengal, 1,165 bags of Madras, 5,301 bags (clayed)
Manilla, and 1,405 hhds 164 barrels Porto Rico, nearly all
of which found buyers (excepting the Porto Rico), but
went off very heavily, and at a decline of fully is to 2s upon
the mid and low brown descriptions, of which the greater
part consisted, while the better sorts brought fully the pre-
vious value. Only about one-half the Porto Rico found
buyers, at 46s to 50s for low to good yellow, and 44s to
458 6d mid greyish clayed yellow Manilla, being
for the Porto Rico fully previous rates, but the
Manilla comparatively cheap. The quantity of British
Plantation landed last week at the East and West India
Docks was 1,757 hhds, 216 tierces, 196 barrels • there were
taken for home consumption 1,220 hhds, 116' tierces, 251
barrels. The stock in the same places is 10,452 hhds, 1,061
tierces, 7,840 barrels.
COFFEE.-140 casks 120 barrels Jamaica, and 1,201 bags
Ceylon at auction only partly sold, at rather lower prices.
Rusr.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 813 puns 74 hhds. There were
taken for home consumption 148 puns 39 lilies, and ex-
ported 162 puns 192 hhds. The stock in the same places is
9,324 puns 2,136 hhds.
SALMI:TUE.-1,255 bags Bengal at auction were all taken
in at 263 to 26s 6d for 4% to 3 per cent. refraction, being
rather below the previous value.
TALLOW.—P. Y. C. is quoted 42s 3d to 42s Gd per cwt. for
new, and 41s. 9d to 42s for old on the spot. Town is 43s 6d
per cwt.
TEA.—The market is dull.

THE Moons.:--The accounts from the hill continue
to be as favourable, as to the success of the sportsmen, as at
first. Last week, the weather was dry and wet each alter
nate day till Thursday; but, subsequently, it has been fair
and more seasonably cool. The moors attached to Blair
Castle were strictly preserved last year and this, it is under-
tood, for his Royal Highness Prince Albert.—Pertly Courier.
