PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, the
produce of the British possessions in America, computed
from the returns made in the week ending April 28, 1846, is
365. 2%d. per cwt.
PENN' P'

Y 'oSTAGE.—The annual returns, just pub-
Ished, show that the progress of penny postage, during the year
1845, has been mach greater than at any former period. The number
of letters delivered in the United Kingdom was 271% millions, being
an increase of nearly thirty millions on the year 1844. The gross
revenue for the year was 1,901,5801., being an increase of nearly
200,0001. on 1844, and nearly four-fifths of the amount under the old
system. The net revenue, notwithstanding that more than 100,0001.
was paid to the railway companies, for work done in former years,
was 775,9861., being an increase of 56,0001. on 1844, while the
London district (old twopenny) post letters have increased to such an
extent, that the revenue derived from them must far exceed that
which was obtained from the same class of letters before the reduc-
tion of the rates. In January of the present year, the number of
letters delivered in the United Kingdom was at the rate of 303 mil-
lions per annum; or, excluding the franks, four times the number
under the old system. The money-orders, since 1839, have Increased
about thirty fold.
