(From the London New Price Current of August 25.,
SUGAR.—To.day all descriptions of West India Musca-
vado Sugar were sparingly dealt in, although merchants
submitted to a reduction of 6d per cwt, and the -private pur-
chases did not exceed 240 hhds and tres.
REFINED.--Today Refined goods were only in limited de-
mand, and prices have assumed a downward tendency, brown
grocery lumps selling at 635, acid standard lumps at 63s 6d
to 64s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is little wanted, but
tinemuality is not to be obtained nutter 33s 9d per cwt.
MA ITEM us.—This afternoon the quantity offered at public
sale amounted to 4,873 bags. The chief part sold in conse-.
quence of merchants reducing their prices is per cwt.
EAST I NDIA. —This afternoon the market was well sup-
plied with Bengal Sugar, the quantity offered at public sale
amounting to 6,071 bags; nearly the whole sold, white and
grainy yellow fetched full market rates, but other sorts went
6d per cwt cheaper.
FOREIGN.—To-day at public sale 555 chests of White and
1,220 chests of Yellow Havannah imported by a foreign ship
were offered; the white was mostly taken in at the full
worth ; the 3 allow all found buyers at steady prices.
MOLASSES.—The stock is on the increase of West India,
but there is scarcely any demand, and prices are little bet-
ter than nominal at 19s to 24s for low to fine quality.' Ben-
gal Treacle is heavy of disposal, and the tendency of prices
is downwards. •
COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was in dull de-
mand, and at public sale 625 bales 18 hulf.bales imported from
Calcutta were all taken in at easy rates. With Ceylon the
market was better supplied, and 2,452 bags 57 casks were
offered.at auction; the Plantation was nearly all sold in con-
sequence of merchants submitting to rather lower rates.
Tea..—There has been little business transacted in any
kind of Black, although there are sellers upon rather lower
terms. The value of Pouchoug is 3d to Gd, and good to fine
7d to 9d. For green the market has a dull appearance, and
prices are going down.
Ricz.—To-day all kinds of East India Rice were much
sought after privately, but further advanced rates being re-
quired checked business, and at auction 1,500 bags of Bengal
were taken in at high rates.
Spicsa.—Piinento has been purchased with increaseed
freedom, and buyers have been compelled to pay stiffer rates.
Black Pepper is not to be obtained upon lower terms.
White has met with little attention, low as prices
are, and at auction 185 bags only in part sold at
4d for good middling quality, and at 3% to
334 for low. For Cassia Lignea previous rates.
Nutmegs have met with little attention privately, and at
auction 20 casks of limed from Madeira was bought in at
3s 6d for bold. For Cloves the demand has improved, and
the parcels sold privately were at former rates. In Mace
several purchases have been made, and buyers have been
compelled to give 2s 8d to 3s 3d for common and middling,
and 3s 4d to 3s 9d for good to fine. Cinnamon has not im-
proved in value. Ginger has only'been in limited demand,
and prices are on the decline.
Hors —The duty for the kingdom is estimated as high as
180,0001. The market has a very dull appearance for all de-
scriptions, and prices are on the decline. Picking has already
commenced, and which is earlier than for many years. The
yield of Hops will be much greater than it was last season,
and the quality superior.
SPIRITS.—For Leeward Island the market has a dull ap-
pearance, and only limited parcels have been disposed of, but
holders are enabled to obtain 2s 5d to 2s 6d for proof strength.
Calcutta has met with little attention, but is Hid to 2s are
the rates insisted upon for proof with certificate. For Ja-
maica there are few purchasers, and in some cases rather
lower rates are taken. In Demerara there has been little
Passing. Brandy has been in excellent request, and prices
are still on the advonce. Geneva is wanted for export, and
the parcels sold were at 2s Id to 2s 2d for common.
OILS.—For Olive Oils there has been an extensive de-
mand, and a further improvement in prices has taken place.
There has been a brisk demand for Linseed Oil for home
consumption, and prices rule firm. For forward delivery several
contracts have been entered into at 24s to 24s 3d. In Rape
Seed Oil many purchases have been made, and prices rule firm.
Palm is wanted, and several parcels have been sold; prices
are firm. Sales to-a fair extent have been made in Cocoa
Nut Oil, and 32s to 34s paid. The value of American Lard
Oil is 351 to 40/ per tun; but few sales have been made.
Li Seal a good business has been transacted by private con-
tract, and full rates are paid. Cod is held for by
to 281, but
the amount of business done has been unimportant. In
Southern several purchases have been made, and prices are
firm at 251 to 251 lOs for fine quality, 241 to 241 10s for good,
and at 23/ to 23/ 15i for low and middling. Sperm has been
only in moderate demand, but no further decline has taken
place.

TALLOW.—Russian has been purchased with increased
freedom on the spot, and prices have advanced 31 to 6d per
cwt. For forward
.delivery the demand has been good, and
the prices are rising. Town Tallow has met with a free sale
at 40s 6d to 41s net cash. Australian has been sought after,
but the quantity remaining unsold is small.

We understand that Captain Sir Frederick Nicholson,
Bart., recently promoted, has returned to this country in the
Aeheron steamer, from the Mediterranean station.

DREADFUL RIOT WITH ENGLISH AND IRISH LA-
BOURERS ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.--
On MoieLy afternoon a riot, which for violence almost baffles
description, took place near the Camden station of the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway. For some weeks past a
large number of men have been employed in the 'enlarge-
ment of the Camden station, both Englishmen and Irishmen
being engaged upon the works in about equal numbers
From some cause, at present unexplained, an ill feeling has
been generated among them, and although several affrays on
a small scale have taken place among some of them, nothing
Parlous was anticipated. On tlir &lay the ill feeling among the
whole body found vent, and a light of a most terrific nature
took place between the English" navigators," as they are
termed, and the Irish labourers. Spades, pick-axes, and
bludgeons of every description were freely used. One or two
policemen of the S division attempted to stop the fight, but
in vain. Information was sent to the station-houses in the
vicinity for more a=sistance, and a large number of the police
were sent. These, however, were insufficient in quelling the
riot. The fight hid now lasted upwards of ari hour, and many
of the combatants were bleeding profusely from the head and
different parts of the body, Oct vicinity of the riot being in
the greatest excitement. The police of the section being
totall unable to put a stop to the riot, information was sent
to the head station in Albany-street, and superintendent
Ferguson with his inspectors and a large body of constables
went to the spot, but they were unable to suppress it. An-
other express was sent for the men belonging to the Somers-
own section, but they at the time were attending the funeral
of a deceased comrade. So urgent, however, was the order
for their attendance that they were compelled to leave the
funeral rites and proceed in vehicles to the scene of the riot.
After considerable difficulty the police succeeded in quelling
it, and took from fifteen to twenty of the ringleaders into
custody; but so desperate did they fight that it took seven
constables to convey one of them, who, it was stated, had
struck an antagonist on the head with a pickaxe, to the
Albany-street station-house. Many of the rioters were.
seriously, if not fatally injured, but the confusion was so
great that the actual injury could not be ascertained. It
was, however, positively stated that two of the ElAglishMell
were so frightfully injured as not likely to live through the
night,
