NEW YORK, JUNE 6.—Cotton—ln our last we noticed
that sales had been made above our quotations. Since
then our market has been dull, and although holders
have not pressed the market, still prices are not in favour
of the buyer—our quotations, however remain as before.

viz ;

Upland and Florida. M0b.,N.0. and T.

have been limited; a few lots were taken for distilling
at 50c.

for pots, and 5 55 dolls. to 5 37} fur pearls.

EAVANNAII, MAY 27.—The prices of sugar bave gra-
dually become lower, as the stocks accumulated, and
planters became convinced, from the advices of the
European markets, that they could not sustain their for-
mer pretensions. At the reduced rates a fair inquiry
has shown itself, which slackened within the last few
days. The English steamer of the Ist instant has just
arrived, and we have to see what influence the accounts
it brings will have on our market. In the meantime we
place the quotations as follow:—Assorted kinds for
Spain, 6id. to 9id.; whites. good to fine, Bd. to Sid., or
225. 9d. to 245. sd. free on board per English cwt.; yel-
lows, superior and Floretes, Sid. to 6fd., or 17s. 7d. to
18s. Bd. ditto; ditto, good and fine, 4d. to 5d., or 14s. ld.
to 15s. 10d. ditto; Cucuruchos, 3d. to 30., or lie. 2d. to
I Is. 9d. ditto. Little or nothing has been done in Mus-
covados, and we quote 4 to 41 rs. for fair and good qua-
lity. 86.000 boxes of sugar have gone forward, com-
prising 20,000 boxes to the United States, 7,500 boxes to
Great Britain, 32,000 boxes to Cowes, 8,400 boxes to
Spain, and 18,000 boxes to other places. Some purchases
of molasses have been made at 11 rs., but many dealers
ask 11 rs. The business in coffee is extremely insigni-
ficant.

THE QUEEN'S AccEsstox.—Tuesday being the
anniversary of the accession of her Majesty Queen Vic-
toria to the throne, the day was observed throughout
the country with the usual demonstrations of loyalty;
the royal standard was hoisted at the churches of St
Mary Abbotts, Kensington ; St. Margaret's and St.
John's Westminster; Saint Martin's-in-the-fields, Som-
erset House, the Tower, Greenwich Hospital, the A.r-
-i senal at Woolwich, and Tilbury Fort. Throughout the
day the bells from the various parishes of the metropolis,
rang " rnerrie peals," and at one o'clock a grand feu de
joie was fired from St. James's Park, the Tower, Tilbury
Fort, and the Arsenal at Woolwich; the royal standard
was also hoisted at the Queen's Theatre, but no illumi-
nations took place in the evening. The Queen will hold
a drawing-room to-day, at St. James's, to celebrate
the auspicious event.
SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 20.—The Oriental COM.
pant's steam-ship Ripon, Captain Moresby, left the
docks at three P.M. this day, for Alexandria, with the
Bombay and other mails, also 50 passengers, among
whom is Admiral Sir Francis Collier, to take command
of the India station, with his Fiag-Lieutenant, Secretary,
and suite. Lady Collier remains in England. The Ri-
pon has a full general cargo. She looks a most splendid
vessel now that she has been lengthened, and the finest
ship now in the Oriental Company's service. The
Pacha, from Italy has not arrived, she is hourly ex-
pected, being over due two days. The West India
packet Thames, which has been detained since the 17th,
by order of Government, is expected to leave to-morrow,
after the day down mail trails.
