WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.-...There is a
very large arrival of wheat, and a good supply of other grain
to-day. We have a steady demand for wheat, and we
note prices 2s. to 3s. per quarter above the rates of last
Friday. The inquiry for barley becomes more general,
and the stands are cleared at ls. to 2s. per quarter ad-
vance. Oats and shelling steady in value, and beans fully
Is. per quarter dearer. No change in other articles.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S
SHIP PLOVER.—EarIy on Thursday morning as In-
spector White of the Thames-police, was on duty in his
galley in the river off Woolwich, his attention was
drawn to two persons male and female, who were land-
ing some bulky articles at the stairs near the Nile Ta
vern. On examination, one of the bags was found to
contain 261bs. of copper sheathing marked with the
broad arrow. The parties were taken into custody, and
gave the name of Mary Ann Derry and William- N..3t-
ting. It turned out on inquiry, that the prisoners be-
longed to a bum boat, and had accompanied the Plover
from Portsmouth. The copper was part of the stores of
the vessel. The prisoners were taken before Mr. Traill,
at the Woolwich Police-court, and remanded for the at-
tendance of the solicitor to the Admiralty.

French to the Queen of Spain on the occasion of her

and Co.'s, went off better, with but little improvement
to be noticed except in Cornwall and Devons, and East

The Sugar Markets here have of late been in a wost
unsatisfactory position, as far as importers are concerned.
In the Country Markets things have, however, taken a
more favourable turn. From 8ri5..,01 we are thus ad-
vised to-day :
" There has been a decided improvement in the tone
of the sugar market since the date of our last report,
refiners and grocers having shown a desire to get into
stock, and the transactions have been to a fair extent.
In West India sorts the sales reported reach 3,500 hhds.
and tierces, and prices have about recovered the decline
submitted to last month, our quotations being al-
tered in conformity ; in Bengal 3,000 bags have found
buyers at an advance of fully ls. per cwt. on former
rates ; and in Mauritius rather over 6,000 mats have
been disposed of, at prices not previously obtainable,
and the transactions in this class of sugar would have
been much larger but for the poor assortment offering.
In foreign the sales are limited to a few parcels of
Manillas, Porto Rico, Babies, and Javas brought coast-
wise, no direct imports having as yet been received here.
"For molasses there has been a decided improvement
in the demand, and prices are fully 2s. per cwt. above
those obtainable last month ; the stock here is very
small, and the transactions are limited to about 100
puns. Antiguas, to arrive at 245., and a small parcel of
inferior St. Vincent in store at the same figure ; 400
hhds. of Bengal treacle have also been disposed of (in
one lot), the price of which has not transpired, but is be-
lieved to be 20s. to 20s. 6d. per cwt.
" Refiners produce of all description has been in excel-
lent demand, and a considerable advance has taken place;
brown lumps, which at the date of our last report were
dull, of sale at 61s. to 625., are now worth 655.; and the
middling' and good, and fine and very fine sorts, which
were then offer;.;;" respectively at 635. to 655., and 665.
to 675.,
665. to 675. and 68s. to 70s.
Crushed, are now wor
of fine quality, has been much sought after, and
has advanced fully 2s. per cwt., good and fine sorts being
readily saleable at GOs. to 635•
Much praise has been accorded to day to the success-
ful exertions of Lieutenant Waghorn in cc.Tveying
with such rapidity the news from Bombay. It is an. at-
ter of general conversation.
The mail, or what is denominated the Waghorn Ex-
press, in advance of the Indian mail, this morning, has
furnished Bombay dates to the 27th of August, but no
later news from Calcutta. The political intelligence is
chiefly of interest in reference to the probabilities of the
future, there being no present movement' throughout
affecting the surface of our extensive Indian empire. It
is quite clear, however, that the period is not distant
when new commotions will take place in the Punjaub,
and that the scene*ve have so recently gone through in
that distracted district were sure to be repeated,
although probably on a reduced scale.
The mercantile intelligence is scanty. There was
no change in the market for manufactured goods in a
general sense, but the prospect of the future was rather
more encouraging when the rainy season closed. The
most important change was a considerable fall in the
rate of exchange at Bombay, which corresponds with
the tendency of the Calcutta market, at,the date of the last
accounts. This is a demonstrated proof that the money
markets generally were suffering from the effects of the
war in the Punjaub, which, by pressing on the treasury
of the East India Company, prevented them from making
the usual advances on the hypotheisture of goods sent
here. It must, at the same time, be observed, however,
that the reduction in the rate of exchange would require
a corresponding advance in the price of all articles ex-
pected from the mother country, to maintain the former
relative position, which does not appear to have been the
case with the texted manufactures.
Consols are rather firm this morning, at 9511 95k, and
