COLONIAL MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

B. .P. SUGAR.-The speculative demand for sugar has
ceased in consequence of the favourable accounts from Ja-
maica, and the market has again become heavy, with but little
business doing. Up to Friday last, the account of sales was
only 2,500 hhds. The price of sugar is now 4s. higher per
cwt. than it was at this period last year.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.-On Friday and Saturday the demand
for this sugar was pretty brisk, at an improvement of from Is.
to ls. 6d., but this advance was not maintained. But 300 bags
were brought to sale this week, and were readily purchased at
from 555. 6d. to 565. 6d. for good mid., these quotations be-
ing an improvement of 6d. per cwt. on the late prices.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.-No public sales have been made, but
privately there has been some business doing. Of foreign
East India our public sale was brought forward, consisting of
near 100 bags of Siam, and 73 casks of Manilla, which realised
full prices. Fine yellow to white Siam brought 245. to 265. ;
damps and washed, 21s. 6d. to 28s. 6d. ; and low brown to
good yellow Manilla, from 21s. to 28s.
FOREIGN SUGAR.-Last Friday two public sales were trans-
acted, of 90 chests white, and 110 chests brown, Pernams ;
240 boxes of white, and 204 boxes brown, Havannahs ; low to
mid. greyish white Pernams realised from 255. to 275. ; low
brown to fine yellow, 21s. 6d. to 245., with 131bs. tare; mid.
greyish to fine strong white Havannahs_, 31s. to 325. ; mid.
to good yellow, mid. strong, were !.ought in from 265. 6d. to
275. 6d., but afterwards sold at 6d. less, being full prices.
One parcel of white Havannahs was sold from 30s. to 30s. 6d.,
and 100 boxes damaged yellow from 255. to 265.
REPINED SUGAR.-But little demand exists for Refined
Sugar; and though there is but little in the market, they
do not find ready purchasers. The quotations are the same.
COFFEE.-A decline has occurred in the price of Coffee,
df from 2s. to 3s. per cwt. for the inferior descriptions. Su-
matra has improved Is. per cwt. About 3,000 bags of Ceylon
were disposed of this week.
RUM.-The market is brisk, and an advance has taken place
of Id. per gallon, through the demand on the part of the
trade, and speculation. Proof Leewards are at 2s. lid. per
gallon.
RICE.-Of Bengal, near 1,200 bags realized from I Is. to
12s. per cwt., for low to mid. white descriptions.
Hops.--The market for Hops is animated. New Kent
Pockets are from -105 s. to 1405., and Sussex from 100 s. to
110 s. per cwt. The duty is now calculated at about 165,0001.
INDIGO.-There is not much doing in this market, as the
East India sale is so near at hand. The total quantity to be
offered, including the goods declared by the East India mer-
chants, does not exceed 3,320 chests. Some heavy sales are
announced to take place at the conclusion of the East India
declaration.

SALTPETRE.—The stock is increasing, and spices are lower.
The imports are expected to be much larger than last year.
COCHINEAL.—There is a considerable export demand for
this article, but for home use there is little or nothing doing.
SPICES.—Some good business has been doing in the Spice
market, and at improving prices ; Cinnamon alone is heavy at
a decline of from 6d. to 9d. per lb. The Government sales
have ceased, but the trade is not brisk, as it is expected the
duty will be reduced on the export of the article from Ceylon.
CorroN.—An advance has taken place of *d. per lb., and
about 2,000 bags were sold at this improvement.
TALLOW.—Prices are rather lower, and are at from 425. 6d.
to 435. per cwt. _

TOBACCO.—During the past month the amount of the deli
veries were considerable, being above 1,500 hogsheads.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The only arrivals this morning are a French mail, the
express from Paris, and Halifax papers to the 2d of
September, at the North and South American Coffee-
house.

By the express from Paris, a telegraphic despatch has
been received from Madrid of the 29th inst., stating that
the Guebhard Loan was annulled by a great majority.
The Halifax papers state that the health of the town,
for these last seven days, ending on the morning of the
Ist of September, 11 o'clock, was better ; and we are
happy to observe that, within the last 24 hours, the mor-
tality is but little more than half that of the preceding.
The disease has almost entirely disappeared in the garrison.
In consequence of several cases having taken place on
board his Majesty's ship President, three of which, we are
informed, have terminated fatally, that ship was removed
into the basin, and her crew landed on Seven Islands.
