(From the LQndon Neu: Price Current of June 9.)

SUGAR..—Although there were seders of all descriptions
of West India Museovsdoe Sugar, at a reduction on the rates
of Frio- y of 6d per cwt, still the trade were even less inclined
to ot,traie, and the demand for Refining as well as for Gro-
cery purposes was rather limited.

.
REFINED.—To-jay Refined goods were much sought after
by the home trade, but few pa,-celd were to be had. Bonded
Crushed Sugar met with ready purchasers and higEer rates
weir? paid.

MAunterfus —This afternoon there was no public sale of
Mauritius Sugar, and the small parcels disposed of privately
were at barely former prices.
EAST INDIA.—Tais afternoon i f Bengal Sugar 3743 bags
at public sale were sold at a decline on former rates of 6d to
le for white, and brown quality 6d per cwt cheaper.
FonzioN.—This afternoon at public sale 100 barrels, 3
cases of Bahia Sugar were sold at stiffer rates, very fine
yellow at 21s, line brown 20s to 20s 6d, middling 18s, and
low at 17s 6d ; 103 brls of Bahia Rapadura taken in at 16s.
COFFEE.—Thia afternoon three parcels of Ceylon Coffee
=militia; to 2176 bags, were brought to public sale; mer-
chants were inclined to realise, but submitting to a reduction
on former rates of 6d to Is for Native and 6d per cwt
for Plantation caused the whole to find buyers.
Congou purchases to a fair extent have been
made, but holders are unable to obtain any advance in prices,
they accept 9d to 9id for common sound cash, and 10d to
101 d for good aim; theteisafairquantityof all kinds on offer.
In Pouchong several sales have been made, but holders are
compelled to accept 4d to 6d for low to middling, and 7d to
9,1 for good to fine. Hyson is wanted upon former terms.
For Twankay former rates are insisted upon, but there has
been little passing.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was sought after, but holders
insisting upon a further advance, operated against business,
and at public sale the sound of 3,723 bags were taken in at
12s 6d for good middling and good white, being above the
value ; there were buyers at former rates; the damaged,
however, sold.

SPicts.—To-day the quantity of Cassia Lignea submitted
to public competition was large, and amounted to 7,809
chests, the whole sold and fair market rates were obtained,
considering the great quantity, but the prices taken were
is to 2s under those that previously existed.
SPIRITS.—Since Tuesday last, the arrivals of all descrip-
tions of Rum have been small, whereas the home and export
deliveries are large; still the stock is greater than it
was last year, and prices are higher for every kind.
Jamaica has met with little attention from exporters and
the house trade, but holders generally are unwilling
to reduce their prices. There is still a fair quantity offering
for sale, but it consists chiefly of the inferior sorts. Demerara
being wanted prices rule firm, purchasers to a fair ex-
tent have been made, and 3s to 35 4d paid for
strong descriptions. Calcutta has been sought after, and
the parcels sold were at is 10d to is lid proof with
certificate, which is again higher, and there is a less quantity
offering for sale. Leeward Island has been sought after, but fur-
ther advanced rates insisted upon. Brandy is offered on fur-
ther reduced terms; still there has been very little business
transacted by exporters and the home trade, and a further
increase has taken place in the stock. The value of English
Gin is 8s 10d for 22 under, and 17 under 9s 4d per gallon,
but the demand is far from active for any of these articles.
Olf.s.—A further decline has taken place in the value of
all qualt;ies of Southern Oil, the market continuing to be
well supplied ; but th parcels offered at public sale amount-
ing to 211 tuns were all disposed of. Cod is little wanted,
and 281 to 281 5s are the rates taken ; the supply at present
is small. The accounts come to hand from the Seal Fishery
being very unfavourable, the production of Oil not being
expected to exceed 2,000 tuns, occasioned a much better
demand here, and prices have risen 20s to 40s per tun ;
several parcels having been disposed or, chiefly for home eon-
sump:: ion. Lin,eed Oil has been in excellent request on the
spot by the home trade, and further export orders have been
executed ; in consequence of the small supply, buyers have
been onpelled to pay advanced rates. All kinds of Rap
Seed Oil can be obtained upon lower terms. Cocoa Nut has
been disposed of to a fair extent. Palm has been in excel-
lent demand, and the supply being much less than it was,
holders obtain form T rates.

-
TA LLow.—ilolders of Russian are unwilling to reduce their
prices on :he spot and supply the market sparingly, but the
purchases made have been extremely limited, and 42s 3d to
42s 6d per cwt are the rates taken for line Petersburg yellow
Candle duty paid. At auction 166 casks of Odessa were
bougrAt is at 41s. For delivery in the last three nu.nths of
the year there are sellers at 41s to 42s 3d in bond, still few
contracts have been eidered into, and there is a desire to sell
at those rates. Home made Tallow being abundant, 40, 6,i
have been accepted nett cash, but the demand has been very
good. Australian has slightly declined in value

The Right Hon. Sidoe) Herbert is ro pre4de at the
Harrow School anniversary festival, on Saturday next, at the
Thatched House Tavern. Sir Robert Peel and several
other leading public characters, who have been educated at
tha- distinguished seminary of learning, are expected to be
present at the diinner.•

de lunatico inguirendo Was opened, at the Old Hat Tavern,
Ealing, before Commissioner Winslow and seventeen special
jurors, as to the state of mind of Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Boyes,

12 out of the 17 voted for a verdict of unsoundness of mind,
which was dated from the 21st of May, 1845.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT —NINE LIVES LOST.—On
Thursday night last, about ten o'clock, a number of persons
were crossing. lilverstone Sands, from that town to Flook-
burg, on their return from th ‘ fair, they missed their way,
after fording the channel. They fell into a hole known as
the "Black Sear," and horse, cart, and passengers, nine in
number, went d•lwn and never rota again. Several carts
were following in the right track, but no trace of the ac-
cident was seen, and none of the parties in them were
aware of the accident until the following morning. Six
of the bodies wero found in the hole yesterday, with the
horse and cart, but the other three had not, up to last
evening, been di4wvered....,Preston Cluvnicie.

FOOT RACE.—On Saturday a race round the enclo-
sure of St. James's Park, was run between Rhodes and Mal-
lett, for a stake of 10/., the former won, and went over a
mile of ground under five minutes.
OUTRAGE ON A LADY.—On Saturday evening last, as
Mrs. Fitzgerald was returning from this town to her resi-
dence at Glenbrook, Ballyroan, she was met by two men,
one of whom caught hold of the horse she was driving under
her gig, whilst the other presented a pistol at her, placed her
on her knees, and ordered her at once to give up Valley-
field, which she and Mr. Fitzgerald have had for some time
in their possession.—Leinster Express.
EXTENSIVE FIRE NEAR THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.
—On Sunday morning, shortly after six o'clock, a fire was
discovered raging in an unoccupied four-story house, No. 1,
Angel-street, St. Martin's-le-Grand, between the General
Post-office and Christ's Hospital. It appears that as one of
the guards connected with the Post-office was passing the
end of the street, he perceived smoke issuing from the win-
dows in front of the premises. The guard, without loss of
time, commenced knocking at the street-door, expecting that
the house was full of lodgers. Whilst he was so engaged,
flames burst forth simultaneously from nearly every window
in the place, and for some time it was feared that a most ex-
tensive sacrifice of human life had occurred. By the time
the first engine reached the spot the whole of the building,
from the ground-floor to the roof, presented one immense
sheet of flame ; at the same time the fire was attacking the
King's Head Tavern on the opposite side of the street ;
fact, the flames had penetrated several of the windows, and
the furniture in some of the rooms was on fire. Plenty of
water being soon obtained from the New River mains, the
engines were worked with full vigour for nearly two hours,
when the work of the firemen was at length crowned with
perfect success. The damage done is very extensive. The
premises in which the fire commenced are completely gutted,
and the King's Head Tavern, the property of Mr. Stone, is
also very seriously damaged.

With delight at the same,
"These dresses can ne'er be outdone."
When once you've survey'd
These " tunics" with braid,
You'll be struck with their beautiful style.
And let us impress
This thet—th,it vach dress
Will last for a very long while.

By MOSES and icON,

Many guardians'
And crowds will repair
To the Mart (you know where)
To honour this summer vacation.

TO MESSRS. ROWLAND and SON, 20,
lIATTON-GA RD EN, LONDON.
Whettley Lodge, near Taunton.
Gentlemen,— I consider it almost an imperative duty to state the
valuable efficacy of your most excellent MACASSAR OIL. For the
last fifteen years I have been bald, occasioned by a most dreadful
fever whilst in India. I have used almost every moans to procure a
head of hair again, but all my efforts seemed fruitless, uutil, acci-
dentally, a friend advised the me of your valuable Hair Restorer,
(I can give it no better name,) and after using a 3s. ad bottle, every
Symptom of a new head of hair began to show Itself, to the surprise
of both myself and family. I resolved on having another, and ob-
alned another bottle, and, before the whole of which was used, I
had, and have now, as handsome a head of hair as ever man en-
joyed, and I earnestly recommend all who have not tried this most
excellent Oil, will not fail to do so.
I am, Sirs, your most grateful and obedient servant,
J. WALKER, Colonel.
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL
Ie the only article that produces and restores Hair ; also WHIS-
ICERS, MUSTACHIOS, and EYE-BROWS; prevents Hair from
falling off or turning grey to the latest period of life; changes grey
hair to its original colour—frees it from scurf, and makes It beauti-
fallY SOFT, CURLY, and GLOSSY. For children it is invaluable,
as it lays a foundation for a BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR.
