cwt. None of any sort has been offered at auction si
our last. The deliveries are yet exceeding those of last
year, and Ceylon is the cheapest sort of Coffee adapted

for home consumption.
TEA.— There has been more inclination to operate in
Black and Green Tea during the last few days ; still no
improvement in the value has taken place. Further
parcels have arrived, and for public competition to-mor-
row 20,000 packages are declared. Of Cengou several
parcels have been disposed of, but upon former low
terms, 71c1 to 8d being taken for common unsound, Bid
to 9d for ordinary sound, and 9d to 10d for good com-
mon. Twankay has been in fair request, and the rates
paid differ from those previously current ; low and fair
yellow leaf is to is 2d. Of Hyson several have been taken
but holders are compelled to accept is lld to 2s Id per
lb. for comnr.n. Other sorts of Green can be obtained
at low rates; still there has not been a large business
transacted: at public sale of 7,551 packages offered, 1,050
were sold, and these chiefly consisted of Pouchongs and
out of condltion Congous—Peuchong, good, 10P, mid
44d to 51d; Imperial, is 8d to 2s 3d; Hyson, 2s Old to
2s 3d; Young Hysnn, 2s 44,1; Gunpowder, but mid ra
str, 3,41 d; and Twankay, mid fr and str, is 7d per lb.
SPlCES.—Although prices rule low for black Pepper,
etill exporters and the home trade have operated with
caution privately; the value of Malabar is 2,id to 31d,
Sumatra, 21:1 to 2id, and Penang 20, to 2,1 d per lb At
public sale 200 bags and 297 packets of Malabar were
sold shot at 3d to half heavy 24d to 2i-d, sea
damaged first class 2id to 2P, second and third class 2id
to 2P, sea damaged and repacked 24d to 21d, per lb. Ar-
rivals are upon a more extend( d scale, yet the stock is
much less than it was last year. Prices do not improve for
white, but several parcels have been disposed of privately
at 3d to 5d per lb. Nutmegs are little wanted, and
there are sellers privately upon rather lower terms ; the
stock being on the increase. Mace has been in fair
demand at firm rates. Although Ginger can be obtained
at the considerable decline that took place in the value
on this day week, still little busines has been transacted
privately in any kind. Pimento is held with firmness
and several parcels have been taken privately at 30 to
31d per lb. Cassia Lignea has been sparingly dealt in
at 50s to 575, and good to fine at 58s to 63s per cwt. In
Cinnamon there has been little passing, but lower rates
are not taken for any kind. Some parcels of late have
been sent direct from Ceylon to Spain. Cloves are heavy
of disposal.
SPIRITS.—To-day Leeward Island Rum was sought
after, and buyers were compelled to pay Is lOid to is
Ild per gallon proof strength. Jamaica is wanted, and
100 puns of plain quality, 33 per cent over proof, were
sold at 3s 2d. Calcutta is sought after, and it was diffi-
cult to purchase proof strength with certificate under is
9d per gallon.
lticE.—To-day lower rates were taken for Bengal
Rice, for 1,000 bags of good middling white 12s per
cwt being accepted by private treaty.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India commenced
to-day, and consisted of 12,978 chests ; before the be-
ginning and during the progress of the sale, 757 chests
were withdrawn. 768 chests have passed the sale.
SALTPETRE.—There has been a good desire evinced to
purchase Rough, and the supply at market continuing
to be small, buyers have been compelled to pay rather
higher rates.
OlLS.—There has been a brisk demand for Cod Oil
since this day week, holders have shown firmness. In
Seal there has been a good business transacted, but at
present no advance has taken place in the value. South-
ern has been in increased request, and a further adv-
ance in prices has taken place. Sperm is not offered
upon lower terms, but there has been only a limited
business transacted. For Linseed Oil rather lower rates
have been taken, although the supply does not increase.
For forward delivery many contracts have been entered
into, and 25s 6d to 26s paid, according to the period.
Rape Seed Oil has been in excellent request, and prices
have slightly improved. In Olive several purchases have
been made, and the stock continuing to be light, holders
evinced firmness. For Palm further reduced rates having
been taken, tempted the trade to operate with more
freedom ; several parcels have been disposed of. Cocoa
Nut has been sought after, but there is still little in the
market ; Americ,,n Lard Oil is neglected, and can be
obtained upon easier terms.
TALeow.—Russian has been in good request on the
spot, and the stock being light, holders evince firmness,
and obtain 42s 3d to 42s 6d for fine Petersburg yellow
Candle, 42s for second sort, and 41s 3d to 41s 6d per
cwt from Odessa. For cl, livery in the last three
months of the year, there has been a larger
business transacted, and 42s 6d to 42s 9d per
cwt are the rates given, duty paid, for fine Petersburgh
yellow Candle. Town Tallow is plentiful, but the
quality inferior, and 41s to 4ls 6d per cwt are the rates
taken, nett cash. The accounts come to hand from St.
Petersburgh state that the supply of Tallow for this sea-
son was not likely to exceed 100,000 casks. Prices were
firm, and equal to 42s 9d per cwt for yellow Candle of
first quality laid down here.

BRIGHTON, APRIL 13.—Lord Francis Egerton and
family embarked at the pier, on Saterday, on board the
steamer Magnet for Dieppe, en route for Paris.
ACCIDENT AT KING'S COLLEGE.—Since the commence-
ment of the holidays, the above establishment has been
undergoing considerable repairs, under the auspices of
Messrs. Grissel and Peto, the builders. On Monday morning
two workmen who had raised some scaffolding in one of the
lofty rooms upon the first floor, for the purpose cf repairing
the ceiling, were pursuing their avocations, when the scaf-
folding suddenly gave way, and they fell with it on to the
floor. On being raised, they appeared insensible, and were
at once conveyed to the hospital belonging to the College,
where it was discovered that one of them had escaped with a
few slight cuts and bruises, but that the other, a man named
John Shannon, was so much injured in the vertebrae of the
back and other parts of his body, as at present to render his
ultimate recovery extremely doubtful.
SUICIDE OF A COW.—THE DEATH LEAP.---A fine
cow, the property of Mr. Turner, of Fleetwood, was lost en
Wednesday night last from on board the Princess Alice, on
her return passage from Belfast to the above port. Having
been neglected to be tied up, she became, from the motion of
the vessel, somewhat obstreporous, and not relishing the pe-
culiar style in which "Jack" was endeavouring to teach
her manners, with the end of a rope, expressed her indigna-
tion at " coercive measures" by clearing the bulwarks. The
captain refused to stop the vessel at the alarm of "cow over-
board," and poor cushe, thus abandoned, "met with a watery
rave."—Preston paper. _ _ _

NARROW ESCAPE.—About ten o'clock on Monday
morning, as the Hampton Court steam-boat Locomotive was
leaving the Old Shades Pier with several passengers on
board, a small boat, which was crossing the river from
Dyers' Hall Pier to the Surrey side, with three men in her,
was unable, in consequence of the number of Greenwich and
Woolwich steam boats which crowded the river, to get out
of the way. The captain, after calling several times to the-
men, stopped and backed the steam-boat, but it was too late:
to prevent the Locomotive from capsizing the small one,.
and precipitating the three men into the river. The boat

. .
immediately sunk, and the men sprang to the side of the
steam-boat to get on board, but in this they f.dled. One of
the crew leaped iato the water, and succeeded in rescuing
one man ; the other two were picked up by the men ota
beard the steamer.

CAMBRIDGE, BOROUGH SEssrorts.---These sessicat
were held on Monday last before Henry Storks, Esq., the
Recorder of the borough. The Recorder, in his address to
the grand jury said he had been constantly in the habit of
awakening them to the duty of a vigilant superintendence
over the moral character of their dependents. He, however,
with such a calendar, did not see the necessity fe,r it on
this occasion. From facts furnished to him by' 'Mr. Edis,
the very vigilant and exemplary keeper of the ge o/, he was
happy to say that the number of prisoners in his custody
showed a decrease between this and the corresponding
quarter 3f last year, in the proportion of 31 to 20, and on the
year a diminution of from 75 to 49. This probably was
owing to an increase of empleyment, and it might be that
the morals of the poorer classes were improved. Education
was spreading, and it was cheering to look forward to a time
when with respect to public morals there would be a happier
state of things. There were three appeals entered by per-
sons named James Hawkins, William Green, and William
Butter, against convictions of them by the present Mayor
and Mr. Alderman Bishop under the Vagrant Act, as " sus-
pected persons."
EARTHQUAKE IN NORWAY.—Three violent shocks or
earthquake were felt at Nannstad, near Christiana, on the
night of the 14th ult. Each shock lasted three seconds, and
was accompanied by a loud rumbling noise; the direction of
the shocks was N.N.W. to S.S.E. The intervals between
the shocks were not more than two seconds. Five houses
were entirely destroyed at Ninnstad, and many others much
injured. There had been several preceding shocks of earth-
quakes in various parts of Norway, but none comparable in.
point either of duration or violence to the last.— Chriatianaz
