COLONIAL MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

SVGAR.—The purchasers of Bristish Plantation Sugar
are increasing, with larger deliveries. The sales during
the last week were about 3,200 hhds. Fine sugars main-
tain steady prices. In East India and Foreign Sugars
there is an increased demand ; as also for the refined
descriptions.
COFFEE—British Plantation Coffee is in pretty good
demand, and Foreign Coffees are also in increased demand.
Rum—For exportation and home consumption, the
deliveries for this article are increasing, particularly for
the former, and about 760 puncheons have been cleared
during last week. The quotations have improved being
rather higher than those of last week.
CocoA—There is a greater call for this article, at frcm
235. to 235. 6d. per cwt.
TEA TRADE.—The sale is going on regularly, and the
Boheas have fetched from 2s. to 2s. 04d. per lb. for
quarter chests ; Is. 111/4d. to 2s. per lb. for half chests.
There are declared for sale of Bohea 1,500,0001b5. ; of Con-
gou, Campoi, and other descriptions, 5,800,0001b5. ; of
Hyson Skin and Twankay, 1,350,0001b5. ; and of Hyson,
350,0001b5., making a total of 9,000,0001b5, which in-
cludes private trade teas.
I snic o.—The quotations are depressed. The next
quarterly sale of the Company, at which the total amount
of the unsold stock will be put up, is on the 15th
July, and will consist of 1,195 chests; but the private
trade goods will increase the sale by about 4,000 or 5,000

chests.
LAC DYE.—There is a greater demand for this article,
both for home consumption and exportation, and large
purchases have been made by speculators within-the last
ten days, at improved quotations. There is a falling off in
the importations, and little more, it is thought, will arrive
from tits present period to the close of the year.
j COCHINEAL.—For exportation there has been a prett'y
good call for this commodity, principally to China and
India, but there is no change in the quotations. Last month
the importations were extensive, but the report is that but
little will arrive in England during the remainder of the
year, the Mexico markets having been cleared by the
French, in consequence of a great failure in the produce
of the present season.
ANNATo is greater demand, with rather improved
prices, through the stock on hand being small.
ARGOL AND CREAM OF TARTER.—There is no change
in the prices for these articles, the demand for which is
pretty steady.
TA LLow—The market is firm at, 425. per cwt.
Hors.—The market is brisk, and the duty has decreased
to about. 100,0001. The accounts from the plantations are
unfavourable. _ _ _ _

petre, Copper, Pepper, Sugar, &c., are in progress. The

INSTINCT OF SPIDERS.—It has been ob-
served that some spiders with an instinctive sagacity,
select, as the greatest security from disturbance, the
lids of the poor boxes in churches.—Dr. Mitchell's
Lectures on Vegetable and Animal Life.
SINGULAR BEEIIIVE.—Last week a very
remarkable circumstance was witnessed in a house on
the Tavistock-road, which had been recently quitted
by a rev. gentleman. The proprietor, on taking off
a lock from the garden door, which had not been used
for some time, was much surprised to find therein a
honey-comb, together with four bees, the latter, of
course, in a torpid state. The honey in the comb we
understand was very fine.—Plymouth Journal.

A man was tried a short time ago, before
the Court of Assizes at Aix, for stealing an ass, when
he made the following ingenious defence, which, how-
ever, did not avail him, since he was found guilty,
and sentenced to imprisonment :—He stated that,
going for a walk, he took a fancy to climb a tree, at
the foot of which was an ass, but he had only just
reached the first branch, when it broke in his hand,
and he fell astride upon the ass, who, surprised by
being thus suddenly mounted, galloped off with him,
and consequently was the thief instead of himse
