COLONIAL MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)
BRITISH PLANTATION SUGAR.—The market is not quite so
brisk as it was last week, and a great quantity of Sugar is
daily coming in. To the Ist of the present month the stock
was about 3,000 hogsheads less than last year ; but at the end
of last week a considerable number of arrivals took place. The
increase in Sugars for home use has amounted to 6,500
hogsheads.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.—The quotation is from 555. 6d. to
565. 6d. for good mid. to good yellow, but the market is dull.
Up to the same period last year the imports exceeded the pre-
sent by upwards of 40,000 bags, and the stock is 11,000 bags
less than last year.

cipated concerning the goodness of the teas imported from
Singapore.

Quarter Chests. Half Chests. Large Chests
1,010 140 264

but little request. The deliveries up to the present year

ROWING MATCH.
A sculler's wager took place yesterday afternoon between Deaf
Burke the pugilist and George Shepherd, better known as Barney
Shepherd, of Chelsea, for 101. aside. The distance contested was
from Westminster Bridge through the centre arch of Battersea.
Bridge, and to finish the heat by returning to the Red House. The
match was of but little or no importance, but the canaille mustered
strong upon the occasion. The match had been made about a month
since, when advantage was taken by Burke, who rowed the distance,
his opponent forfeiting his stakes in consequenee of not being pre-
sent at the precise time.
At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon the men took their
stations at Westminster Bridge. Burke was off first, and Shepherd
close on his quarter. In this situation they continued until after
passing through Vauxhall Bridge, Burke picking him up whenever
an opportunity presented itself. At the Red House a cutter passed
between' the boats, and Shepherd, who had been laying by, rowed
away from his opponent in style, and won the match comfortably,
gradually gaining ground upon his opponent, and coming in at the
Red House before his opponent was visible.

HALLEY'S COMET.—Some persons have as-.
cribed the peculiar character of our last summer to the influ-
ence of Halley's comet, which will appear at the commence-
ment of November, 1835. M. Bogus Lawisky has inserted in
the Breslau Gazette an article in which he shows the absur-
dity of this opinion. At the commencement of June the
comet was at 125 millions of miles beyond the sun, arid conse-
quently at 145 millions of miles from the earth. At no former
period of its appearance, even in 1759, was any change of temp
perature remarked.—Morning Paper.
A great benefit has been conferred on the jutaor
officers in the Navy by the publication of :a The Naval Officer's
Bn," a work which has long
Guide for Preparing Ships for
nautical affairs. This produc-
been a desideratum to tyros
7enced seaman, who has consequently
tion of an old and exper
had every opportwfity
bof acquainting himself with the subject
on whi?ll 'treats, contains a full and accurate descripion of
the 7arious modes of fitting and preparing a ship's rigging,
&c. ; and affording as it does, so much information on a sub-
ject so necessary to the proper equipment of a ship, we predict,
will meet with the success it so richly deserves.
