were taken for home consumption, and prices closed with
firmness, brown lumps at 44s to 44s 6d;mid 465, and
good titlers at 45s to 46s per cwt. There is not the least
improvement in the export demand for crushed Sugar.

6d for ord to good; and one small pile good grocery 35s

per cwt.

FOREIGN.—To-day a fair business was concluded pri-
vately in Foreign Sugar, both for the Continent and the
the United Kingdom at last week's rates, but the parti-

culars were not allowed to transpire. None is offered
at public auction.
MohassEs.—There is still little doing in West India,
although rather lower rates have been acceded to. Small
parcels of Antigua have been sold at 134 6d to 14s, low
Barbadoes 123 to 12s 6d, St. Lucia and St. Kitts
from 11s 6d to 12s 6d. In Bengal and Mauritius
transactions aro trifling, although Ils to lls 6d have
been accepted, trannelions in Cuba and Porto Rico are
also small at 13s to 133 6d per cwt. Prices fur Molasses
are 3s lower than in the previous year; and arrivals are
less. Jamaica Honey continues to be wanted; low to
mid at 363 to 42a, and better sorts at 44s to 56s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was not offered
under 403 fun good ord, but few transactions occurred
privately, and stone offered at auction. Full terms are
demanded for Plantation Ceylon, and supply is yet
moderate, at the same time only a limited home
and export demand experienced. At public sale
142 casks and 74 bags were sold ; good
mid is good went at 55s to 583 ; mid 52s to 54s ; low
mid 49s to 51s ; better sorts 43s 6d to 48s. and Pea
Berry at 50s 6d to 62s for good. Mocha was dull of
sale and 21 per cwt cheaper. At auction 39 bla and
34i bales eel d at 68s 6d to 69s ed for mid greenish clear
garbled ; and triage at 42s 6d to 455. In other sorts of
Coffee the sales made privately are trifling.
COCOA.—The market for West India remains in an
unfavourable position, thera being few buyers with
sellers at a reduction in previous terms of is to 2s per
cwt. At auction 60 bags Trinidad were sold ; good
to fiats red went at 44s to 47s Od ; ord to mid 39a to 435;
and grey from 36s to 40s; whilst 460 bags Grenada were
taken iu at 35s to 413 for mid to fine. Stock is 5,800
bags greater than at this date last season, and deliveries
are upon a smaller scale. In Foreign, transactions are
trifling, Bahia lied Para can be obtained at 27a to 27s
6d; and Guayaquil at 30s to 31s.
TEA.—The oemand continues to increase for common
arid ord Congou, considerable parcels have been pur-
chased for shipping and home consumption, still prices
are not higher, and rule at 9d to 92d per lb. Other
sorts have been operated iu with more freedom
by home dealers, yet no advance has been estab-
lished mixed bLckish leaf selling at 10d to
11d, strong ditto 1 Itel to is rid: superior and Pekoe
flavour Is Id to is bd.• In Oolong transactions have
been upon a more extended scale at from Is to Is.
6p; but Souchong continues to be operated in
with caution, although offered at 9d to lld for com-
mon and middling; good to fine is to 2s. There is
decidedly more doing in good and fine green, full
rates are obtained, and a less quantity is offered for
sale; but inferior is yet plentiful, and few buyers to be
met with; holders also are free sellers at previous mode-
rate terms. Prices for Hyson of ord and mid quality
rule at is to is 4d, good to fine Is 5d to 2s,
superior 2s 2d to 2s 8d; Young Hyson, fine
2s to 2s 6d, mid to good is 2d to is 10d;
Canton made 10d to is Id; Gunpowder 8d to Is; Hyson
sort is 2d to 3s, and superior 3s 2d to 38 6d. The
better descriptions of scented and Pekoe Teas are pur-
chased more freely, yet previous terms are readily ac-
ceded to, whilst inferior and spurious sorts are neglected,
and can be obtained at low rates.
Rim—To-day the business done privately in East
India was small, and the rates taken are rather ander
those of Friday. For auction 12,000 bags are declared
mostly Madras.
Giticzn. —To- day a public sale of 250 brls Jamaica
went at full rates; fine realized 81 lls to 101 13s, and
common to good 41 2s 6d to 51 16s per cwt.
PIMENTO is stilt wanted, and realised lull terms. At
auction to-day 250 bags were sold at slal to sd, but
chiefly at sid to sid for mid and good quality.
SPIRITS.— With Jamaica Rum the market is well sup-
plied, and only limited tranactions have taken place. On
the part of merchants a desire is evinced to sell fine
quality 33 to 38 per cent over proof at 3s to 48 Id, good
mid and good 32 to 34 over 2s 7d to 2s 11d; low and
mid 28 to 30 over 2s 3d to 2s 6d. An impression exists
that rather lower rates will prevail. Demerara has
been in good request; there is, however, no advance;
the parcels sold were at 2s Id to 2s 4d for 32 to 40
per cent over proof, and 26 to 30 ditto at is 10d to
is I Id, but chiefly at former rates. Leeward Island
met with more attention, and 350 pns, &c., were
disposed off at is 5d to is 6d proof. Havannah has
eben sold to a fair extent at is 2d to is 2id proof. In
Brandy prices rule for first Brands of the vintage of
1850 at 43 4d to 4s 6d ; 1849 ditto 4s 7d to
4s 9d; 1846 ditto 5s to 5s 2d; older 5s 6d to 63 4d;
low to 'mid 2s 9d to 3s Od; Bordeaux 2s 2d to 3s 4d.
British made Spirit can still be obtained at 9s 5d to 9a
9s 6d proof; Gin at 7s 10d for 22 under, but there is a
good demand. Geneva is rather more in request at Is
6d to is Bd. and fine atels 9d to 2s per gallon.
FRure.—Prices have declined for new Currants at 408
to 42s per cwt., a good business has been done; but old
remains dull of sale at 24s to 365. New Valencia Raisins
378 to 38s, old 26s to 295. Turkey pulled Pigs are
offered at 405 to 70s for new.
INDIGO.--To-day during the progress of the sale 21
chts were withdrawn, and 994 chts (including 180 with-
drawn) have passed. Ord and low qualities of Bengal,
of which there were several marks this day, con-
tinue to go off heavily at about 2d to 3d discount
on the last sale's rates, whilst for mid and good sorts fit
for shipping, the competition appears to be greater as the
sale proceeds, and the rates previously established are
fully supported. Of the quantity which has now passed
the sale 7,411 chests in the A, and 1,415 in the B
Catalogue (total 8,826 chests), 3,426 have been with-
drawn, and 1,369 bought in, leavisg 4,031 sold. At
public sale to-day 41 chts of Manilla Indigo sold at
Is 61 to 2s 9d.
Tahhow.—There has been little business concluded
in Russian on the spot; and a further fall in prices is
apparent. Fine old Y.C. is offered at 37s 6d, and new
at 38s to 38s 6d per cwt, yet dealers only purchase suffi-
cient for their immediate use. For delivery few trans-
actions have taken place, although there are sellers at
378 9d to 38s for new up the close of
the year,: and at 38s 6d to 39s for the early
part of 1852. Only moderate transactions have
taken place in home melted, and 38s is the value nett
cash. For other sorts of Tallow rates declined, and a
small part only of the parcels sold at auction found buy-
ere; 440 pkgs South American at 34s to 37s 6d for low
to fine; 1,000 bladders 300 casks Sydney Mutton 34s pd
to 38s 6d, beef 35s to 3Js; 20 skins Galatz 378 to 38s ;
30 casks Italian 37s 6d, 75 casks old Y.C. taken in at
35s 6d per cwt. For auction 1,500 pkgs are declared.
Wes.—Prices are rather lower for Whale Oil, and of
220 tone Polar at auction a part only sold; fine at 311158
to 324 good 31/ to 311 ss, and inferior 301 15s to 311 per
tun. In Seal transactions have been small, and there
are sellers of pale at 321 to 331, the other sorts at 301 to
311155. Cod is cheaper, limited transactions having
taken place at 351 to 351 10s. A good demand still
prevails for Sperm. There is no increase of supply,
and rates are firm; fair to fine quality realised 841. to 871

THE CONDEMNED CRIMINAL HARE. —We learn
that the unfortunate criminal Hare, who was condemned
last week at our Justiciary Court to suffer the extreme pe-
nalty of the law, continues to protest that he is innocent of
the murder of which a jury of his countrymen, on the clear-
est evidence, have found him guilty, and prays for mercy for
his accusers. Hare, who is an Episcopalian, requested the
counsel and advice of the Rev. Mr. Smith, of Milend, who
has been ministering to him such consolation as is fitting for
his awful condition. The execution is fixed to take place on
Thursday, the 23d inst., which is our autumnal sacramental
fast-day, and in the event of no reprieve, as far as we can
learn, it is not likely that
.this stated day of preparation will
interfere with the carrying into effect the last sentence of the
law.— Glasgow Post.

THE SAGACITY OF THE DOG.—A man named
Maubernard, of Nimes, went a few days ago to his field to
cultivate his vines. He did not return at his usual hour in
the evening; but after a while his dog appeared, barking
mournfully. The animal refused to enter the house, and
barked and ran about as if inviting some one to follow.
When he perceived that he was followed, he went direct to
the field, and there beneath a tree was found his unfortunate
master bathed in blood, with several deep wounds in different
parts of his person. The man was taken home, and medical
assistance was procured, but he died in the course of a few
hours. It is not known by whom or for what
.cause he was
stabbed.
