SUGAR.—To-day there was less firmness in the home
consumption Sugar market. In West India purchases to a
fair extent were made, but merchants were compelled to
take rather lower rates, the supply at market being large
and the assortment better. The private sales amounted to
450 hhds and trcs.

REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade-63s to 63s 6d were the rates
taken for brown lumps according to quality, and 64s to

sale at 34s 6d to 35s for first quality.

of Mauritius, comprising 8,499 bags, but the trade evinced
less desire to operate, and prices declined is per cwt; nearly
the whole however sold. There was no low brown in the sales.

FOREIGN.—To-day 4,202 bags of Pernambuco Sugar were
offered at public sale, and all taken in above the value, that
is to say, middling dry yellow at 23s to 24e, low ditto 21s to
225, fine brown 20s, middling 19s, low damp ditto 17s, mid-
dling 18s, fine 19s 6d, low yellow 20s to 21s, and middling at

attention, and 1,735 bags 58 chests at public sale were sold at

Coismx.—This afternoon there was little inclination shown
to purchase Native Ceylon, and 815 bags at public sale were

business was transacted privately. The market for all kinds
of Foreign has a dull aspect.

former rates, still the trade have purchased with caution.
For Pouchong prices kept pretty steady, but there has been
little business done. Hyson has been sparingly dealt in. In
Twankay several pui chases have been made, and at rates differ-
ing little from those of last Tuesday. In Young Hyson
sales to a fair extent have been made st 10c1 to Is 6d for
Canton, and at Is 8d to 2s 10d for low to fine Hyson
kind. Although Gunpowder can be procured at li Sd to
2s 5d for Canton, 2s 6d to 4s for good to fine Hyson kind,
still little has been doing. _ _ _

Smexs.—To-day of Nutmegs 31 eases 9 casks 3 bags, at
auction, were sill sold, in consequence of merchants sub-
mitting to a reduction on former rates of Id per lb; of Mace
5 casks sold at very full rates Pimento is in request, and
99 bags at auction fetched 354jd to 3%d for middling
rather mixed and stalky, being the full worth.

Smurrs.—There has been little desire evinced to purchase
Jamaica Rum, but the stock not n,ing large, holders are re-
luctant to further reduce thei- pricer. r Demerara rather
lower rates were taken, still ttie quantity alt has been
only 200 puns. Leeward Island is not offered upon
lower terms; but little business done. For Calcutta previous
rates are required, but there hasly.en little passing. Holders
of Brandy are unwilling to take lower rates, but there has
been little desire evinced to operate. For fine Go :eve fur
home consumption the demand has been brisk, but common
has been sparingly dealt in. British Corn Spirits are selling
at 10s 6d per gallon nett cash, Gin 22 per cent. underproof at
8s 10d, and 17 underproof 9s 4d per gallon.

tion has taken place since last Tuesday, but the purchases
made have been limited. For delivery in the last three
mouths of the year there are sellers of Petersburg yellow
Candle of first quality in bond at 41s 6tl to 42s per cwt, but
there has been but little passing.
OlLS.—There has been a good business transacted in Olive

duced rates are taken. ''Palm has been purchased with cau-
tion privately, and a decline in value has ensued. Cocoa
Nut has been in good request privately, but prices do not
improve, although the supply is small. There was little de-
sire shown to purchase Linseed Oil, and a decline in the value
took place. Sperm has met with attention, and previous
improved rates are fully maintained.

CONFESSION OF A MURDERER.—In September, 1842,
a farmer was found dead by the side of a public road, in Oxfordshire,
and up to the present time the cause of death has remained a mys-
tery, but now it appears, from a confession which has been made,
that he was murdered. A travelling tinker, of the name of Isaac
Skerry, who has been oonfined in Banbury gaol, has confessed that
he was a party to the murder of the above individual, Mr. George
Mobbs, of Dean-hill farm, North Aston, who, on the 29th of Septem-
ber, 1842, who was found dead by the side of the road leading from
the Fez, at North Aston to Dunstew. Skerry says that Isaac Sher-
riff and James Biddle assisted in the murder, and the police have sue.
ceeded in apprehending them. On the 28th of September Mr. Mobbs
went to a sale at Staple Aston ; a friend went with him part of the
way home, and left hire about eleven o'clock at night, at elan* near
to the Fox Inn. The friend's road then lay in a somewhat different
direction, and he heard Mr. Mobbs' hor-c go steadily along the lane
towards deceased's hems. On the following morning Mr. Mobbs was
found dead, and lying on a heap of stones in Dunstew-lane, in a con-
trary direction to his house. His collar bone was broken, he had re-
ceived severe injuries on the head, and a great quantity of blood had 11
flown from him. The horse was found in ono of deceased's fields.
The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Com-
mons gave his customary grand Parliamentary entertainment on
Saturday evening to a numerous circle of ltfernbers of the Lower
House, among whom were Viscount Acheson, Mr. Warburton, the
Hon. Captain Berkeley, Sir George Staunton, Mr. Tancred, Sir
Mr. Morris, Mr. Pattison, Mr.

The Indianipapers allude to an attempt about to be
made to introduce an insolvency law among the Straits traders. The
subject was mooted some years ago at Singapore, but the public
esling was so much against it, that after a few feeble endeavours to
obtain the consent of the chief mercantile houses to a petition,
nothing further was done, and the question died a natural death.
In December last the Chamber of Commerce, bye majority of live.
adopted a series of resolutiens in favour of the introduction of a law
for the relief of insolvent debtors, and these toting submitted to the
Governor, the Hon. Colonel J. W. Butterworth, an
.s recomrnenda-
answer was re-
ceived, stating that he would forward
them with his
tion in favour of the measure. There is a party ht Singapere who
oppose tho extension of the insolvent law on the ground that
are e
the Chinese specially given to &nide dealing, and
• can easily send away thole property to China and other
places, through their own countrymen, and Baia elude the demands
wouldof
who, it is supposed,lose all hope payment it
of a creditor,
were deprived of the power of incarceration. But It is said that
he
any ilindoos in Calcutta are not less slippery in their transactions
than the Chinese at Singapore; yet there has for a long time been
an Insolvent Court in the City of Palaces, and the ;oss sustained by
native bankruptcy has borne no comparison to that oconsioned by
the insolvency 01 Europeans. In Singapore, moresver, it has been
found that of the whole number of persons ansigned to Wodson-
ment for debt, only one-fourth are Chinese. As the old system of
leaving the debtor to die or starve in a gaol is so repugnant to all
notions of civilised life, the Indian papers s-em to think that the
proposal, backed as it is by the recommendation of the Governor,
will induce the Legislative Council to give it their hearty ecneur-
rence, and speedily to pass measures for ruirterlog the process ef-
fective 's

ATTEMPT TO PROCURE ABORTION.—At Norwich IS-
sizes on Friday Sarah Whisker was indicted for having administered
to Frances Bailey a quantity of white hellebore, on the sth March,
with intent to procure abortion. It appeared that the prisoner, who
is a beldame of between thirty and forty, is esteemed as a " cunning
woman " in tine city of Norwich, and that she was visited by the
prosecutrix on a day previous to that named in the indictment, for
the purpose of having her fortune told. The wretch soon elicited
from the girl that :he was in the family way, and directed her to
come on the sth of March, when she would give her something
which would "do her gocd and not interfere witk her work." The
appointment was kept, and the prosecutrix received from the pri-
soner a powder and a liquid, which she took according to the direc-
tions which accompanied them. The result, however, was far from
satisfactory, for she fell sick, and being obliged to quit her service.
resorted very wisely to medical aid for relief. The surgeon was then
Cal'ed in, and a chemist, who proved that he had frequently supplied
the prisoner with small quantities of " hite hellebore," were now
examined, but from lack of experience in " poisons" were not enabled
to speak decidedly as to the fact whether that ingredient was or was
not a poison, and the prisoner was, therefore, on the point of escaping
"scot free." The Learned Judge, however, hearing that Mr. Scott,
a celebrated practitioner in this city, and surgeon to the gaol, was
present, caused him to be examined, and Rom that gentleman's evi-
dence, founded on his more extended experience, the whole case was
fully made out, and the prisoner was duly convicted and sentenced to
transportation for life.
STATUE OF SoprroctEs.—The Constitutionnel an-
nounces that a statue of Sophocles is on its way to Paris, from
Athens, whence it has been sent by the French Ambassador, M.
Piscatory. It is said to be one of the most remarkable antique works
of art which have yet been deposited in the Sculpture Gallery of the
Louvre, for Which it is destined.

PRESIDENT Po LEVEE.

An American levee must i.e a foully thing in its
as different from a royal levee or drawing-room in tb'
coni.try as a lip in a seven dials' lodging. house is °
Almack's. A few passage. from the ne,criptaon of sue'l,
n scene, given in the New York Herald of the 21st 0';
may amuse our readers. First, the picture of t 11-
officials is particularly American. " The lords in we"'
ing consisted of a rough marine in uniform, and
policeman, who, true to their vocation, and rigidly 0,
hering to the word of command, kept the doors close"
refusing admission to some of the company, who et);
deavonred to effect an entrance some few minutes befor,
the appointed hour, and rudely removed them outsi?#,
the doors, stating they should keep' strictly to orders.
Nor does the company appear to have been very 0..;
worthy of such " Lords in Waiting." Our contetor
rary says—
" At the appointed hour the company began to arrio
and in a short time the rooms were filled up with
motley group,' from the refined and chastely atti
consort of the foreign ambassador down to the more 0);
tractive and fripperied tailoress, whose bead-dress ki
scarlet merino turban, decorated with glass beads
bugles), shone conspicuously amid that glittertn
throng.' The tout ensemble, to a foreign courtier el
versant with the machinery of the entire movement, inej
appear somewhat strange, from the general style '1
dress and the etiquette that prevailed."
Amongst those present we observe " four rough-low
ing backwoodsmen jolly farmers, dressed in rl
frieze, some with top coats, and others with smoeVj
frocks;" and the ladies do not exhibit, as a whole, n3ll.
more propriety in their attire. " Some wore plal
shawls, plain muslin gowns, coarse boots and shoes,
appeared in undress. Others were rather passe,
visiting dresses, whilst the remaining
_part of the COl
!my went to the opposite extreme. The " beautlg
Miss M., of Ohio," is represented as dressed in " lilj
blue satin dress, short sleeves, hair beautifully brail
and bound up in a large fillet resembling a crown, 511,4
very becoming ;" whilst Mrs. L. is described to /OA
worn " coarse stuff gown, red, street walking
muslin cap." We have " Mr. Dixon, M.C., black b
coat, white vest, hat in hand, while escorting a ladf;
promenade,"—a perfect American dandy,—whilst Mr.
is content to figure in " brown shooting jacket, peg
book, with strong walking-cane," and, to complete ,v 4
character, doubtless a quid. The band to which P`o
strange assortment of additions were doomed to lis!eto
the chronicler informs us, " would not do common J
tice to a managerie."—Liverpool Standard.

The attention of the Directors having been drawn to an advertise-
ment relative to this Company, which appeared in the papers of
Friday and Saturday last, signed Henry Philipps, deem it right, in
order to prevent misunderstanding, to observe that what the
Directors stated thronzh their solicitor to the meeting held on the
25th instant was, that although they themselves entertained a very
favourable opinion of the prospects of the undertaking, they would
not, if it should appear to be the wish of the great majority of the
Shareholders, throw any obstacle in the way of a dissolution (pro-
vided always it could be done with good faith to the Belgian Govern-
ment) if a sufficient number of the Shareholders could be found
wiring to make their deposits subservient to the following pur-
poses :
To secure the Directors against loss on the six thousand and odd
shares they had recently taken up in addition to their former allot-
ments.
To pay the 12,0001. advanced by the Conventionaires.
The 3,0001. still remaining due.
To provide for the probable forfeiture of the 30,000!. which bad
been paid as caution money.
And for the total amount of expenses incurred, as well as for the
repayment in full of the deposits to those Shareholders who are un-
willing to abandon the undertaking.
By order,

66 I'M OPEN! I'M OPEN!"
A SONG OF TRIUMPH ROM THE NEW ES-

TABLISHMENT
I'm open ! I'm open, in all my display !
The glory of trade and the pride of my day.
I'm open in vastness, and splendour, and none
Can equal the warehouse of MOSES and SON.
Say, ye who have seen me triumphantly rise,
If I mov'd not your hearts with a thrill of surprise,
Say, say what you thought, when in wonder you cast
Your eyes on my building—so costly, ,o vast I
And say what you thought when you heard the glad shout
In honour of MOSES, within and without.
Proclaim my vast triumphs wherever you go
That others may see, and that others may know.
I'm open I'm open ! but net to delude
With empty attractions and vain magnitude.
I'm open to publish what wonders are done
By the dauntless projectors, E. 310-,ES and SON.
My vastness of building is nought but a proof
Of vast speculations beneath my wide roof.
The extent of my houses proclaims, you must know,
Extensive advantage to high and to low.
Bright prospects (if rightly observed) will appear
On the g'ittering globes of each bright chandelier.
On the pillars of marble, this truth is display'd:—
" E. MOSES and SON are the pillars of trade."
The glasses which dsnble all objects reflected
Speak loudly of double advantage effected.
Ev'ry room which the monarch-like warehouse displays
Some hint of importance—some meaning conveys.
I'm open I I'm open ! well stor'd with attire,
Whose style and materials all will admire.
I'm open, with cutters, whose elegant taste
Has nothing defective and nothing misplac'd.
I'm open to carry out MOSES' endeavour
In selling you articles cheaper than ever.
I'm open to do more than ever I've done ;
I'm open to honour E. MOSES and SON.
I'm open with cheapness, choice cloth, and choice cut,
And while such is the case, I shall never be shut.

GOWL AND'S LOTION.—This well-known
and highly appreciated appendage of the British toilet has for
nearly a century past maintained unrivalled reputation as a perfect
remedy for all impurities of the skin, together with the valuable pro-
perties of a preserver and sustainer of the complexion of the mast
genial nature, removing every trace of sallowness and discolouration,
and promoting the transparency and brightness of the skin, which
constitute the peculiar graces of a fine complexion.
" Bobt. Shaw, London," is in white letters on the Government
Stamp, without which none is genuine. Price 2s. 9d ; ss. 6d.
Quarts Ss. 6d. Sold by all Perfumers and Chemists.

'ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, an eminently
balsamic preparation, is equally celebrated for ite safety in
application, as for its mild and soothing operation, in thoroughly
purifying the skin of all redness mples, spots, freckles, tan, and
discolourations ; producing a healthy freshness and transparency of
complexion ; and an admired softness and delicacy on the hands,
arms, and neck
In cases of chilblains, chapped skin, or incidental inflammation, it
is pre-eminentif successful, and gentlemen after shaving will find it
allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft,
smooth, and pleasant. Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying
and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Cont-
inent of Europe, together with the " elete" of the aristocracy, and
"haute volfie."
Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the
spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents,
utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en-
dangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see
that the words "Rowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope (an en-
graving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins,
and Co.) and that A. RONVLAND and SON, 29, Hatton-
Bacon,
garden, are engraved (by authority) on the Government Stamp affixed
on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and es. Gd per bottle. Sold b the
Proprietors, and by chemists and perfumers. y

" Gentlemen—A number of my friends have experienced great be-
nefit through taking Locock's Wafers. One friend, named Amy
Calamore (subject to asthma), had a box last week, and has already
received great benefit from them, although she did not take the
whole, as she divided the box among some of her neighbours. Every
one speaks highly of them, and they are taken by some of the first
families in the town. (Signed) " J. P. Wixfamsfs "
Dr. LOCOCK'S WAFERS will give instant relief and a rapid cure
of asthmas, coughs, and all disorders of the breath and lungs.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
Pralines of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, eves to the most confidential friend."—Era.
