COLONIAL. •
TEA.—There has been a limited inquiry ; prices, how-
ever, remain without change of importance. About 2,500
packages of Indian growth are announced for public com-
petition to-day.
SUGAIL—The enquiries for home consumption are still
trans
very limited, but a moderate amount of business has been
acted in floating cargoes for exportation at steady
rates.
COFFEE.—A very limited demand has been experienced,
owing to the largo quantity of plantation Ceylon and
East Indian descriptions now en route for this country.
The stocks on hand, compared with those at the corres-
ponding period of last year, only show a deficiency of
about 300 tons.
Rim—There has been a moderate enquiry for cleaned
descriptions, and a fair business has been reported it,
floating cargoes for exportation, at steady rates.
TALLOW. The speculative demand for tallow which was
reported last Friday has continued, but has not resulted in
any further advance in prices. On the spot the demand
has been but moderate, excepting for fine Now Ukraine
tallow just arrived, of which some parcels have bean taken
at 465. The current prices are—spot 455, 1863 and 1861
Bk. 43s to 43s 6d, Oct. to Dec. 465, still rather buyers Dec.
46s 6d, town tallow 43s ad net cash. No Odessa or Aus-
tralian offering ; South American 45s to 45s 6d.

CREMORNE GARDENS.--. 41 grand day-and-night
fate took place at these gardens yesterday, being for the
benefit of the enterprising lessee, Mr. E. T. Smith, and the
crowded attendance amply testified to the estimation in
which that gentleman's catering is held by the amusement-
going portion of the public. In addition to.the ballot, bur-
lesque, and the acrobatic, equestrian, amphibious, and
other performances, the programme was supplemented on
this occasion by a grand baloon ascent, which was success-
fully made by Mr. R. Orton, in the "Princess Alexandra"
fish balloon, and a sham fight on the Thames, in which
the vessels of the Iron and Citizen Steam-boat Company
formed the attacking force, and kept up a brisk bombard-
ment of Cromorno for some time, which was replied to
with equal vigour from the shore, after which a brilliant
illumination by coloured fires, and an effective display of
some elaborate set pieces and designs on the river

who rode the horses. The Clifden Cup is a group in oxi-
dised silver, representing the most exciting scene in the
sporting drama of "The Flying Scud." The figures in
this group aro most exquisitely modelled, and form a fine
specimen of silversmith's work. .
THE EMPRESS OF TILE FRENCIL—The French
Imperial steam yacht Reine Hortense, with her Majesty
the Empress of the French oa board, arrived off Ports-
mouth early yesterday morning from Havre, after a plea-
sant passage of eight hours, and achored until afternoon in
the vicinity of the Spit Buoy. A party of ladies and gen-
tlemen from the yacht, including it was supposed the
Empress, landed at Southsea in the morning, and spent
some time on the Esplanade and Common, and partook of
luncheon at the Pier Hotel. Shortly before 2 p.m. the
Reine Hortense again weighed for anchor, and steamed
slowly past the fleet at Spithead for Osborne, where the
Empress arrived on a visit to her Majesty the Queen soon
after 3 p.m. As the Empress travelled incognita the yacht
hoisted no standard.
REMARKABLE EFFECT OF LIGHTNING. —As a young
man in the telegraph office at Carrick-on-Suir was trans-
mitting some messages last week during the thunder storm
which was then raging fiercely, the electric fluid entered
the office and struck from his hand an open penknife,
which he was holding. The knife having struck against
the wall of the office rebounded, and the haft struck the
young man on the back of the wrist, which itmnediately
became very much swollen. The lightning did no other
harm,

THE SULTAN.—Although his Imperial Majesty
the Sultan remained at Buckingham Palace all day on
Sunday, he was occupied on subjects most important to
the interests of the Ottoman Empire. After the departure
of Lord Stanley, Mr. Page, the engineer of Westminster-
bridge, was introduced to his Imperial Majesty by his
Highness Fuad Pacha, and with the assistance of his son,
Mr, F. J. Page, exemplified to the Sultan and his Highness
Fuad Pacha the mode of ascending steep gradients, the
particulars of which wore explained by his Highness Fuad
Pacha and Signor Guarracino. Ilis Imperial Majesty
fully comprehended the whole system, and hoped it would
be fully developod before his ministers at Constantinopb,
inasmuch as fur the interests of the Ottomam Empire the
introduction of a more economical system of railways was
most important.
THE SULTAN AND TILE DOVER CORPORATION.—At
a tut.eting of the Dover Corporation on Thursday a letter
was read from 31. Musurus, the Turkish Ambassador, for-
warding the reply of the Sultan to the address presented to
his Imperial Majesty upon his disembarkation at Do.otverrni
