LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of this evening.)
SUGAL-There were only three market days last week, on ,
account of the continuance of the Whitsun holidays, yet such
was the continuance of the extensive demand for West India

this day are 900 hhds. and trs., at full market prices ; the
Barbadoes sale this day went off with briskness, 179 hhds. low

per lb. The sales at Liverpool last week about 9,000 bags, at
steady prices.

has been sold at I Is. 9d. : the arrivals since, about 1,500 brls.,

pablic sales of Wool commenced this day, consisting of about
400 bales Australian Van Diemen's Land Wool, and about 70
bales Cape, East India, and English Wools. Up to the hour
we went to press, the sale was proceeding very well, at prices
about 10 per cent. above the last public sales. There was a
great attendance of buyers.
SALTPETRE.-There is no business to report in Saltpetre :
it is very heavy. The public sale advertised for this day is
postponed.

The hot weather of last week has enabled the far-
mers, not only round London but in most parts of the country,
to put together large quantities of hay in excellent order. The
crops are represented as being every where abundant.
The settlement of the foreign account has gone off
so much better than was anticipated, that business has returned
to the same state, or nearly so, as usual ; and it is taken for
granted that the effects of the panic are at an end. No de-
faulters of any consequence have been declared, though the
opportune rise of prices since last Friday has prevented many
names, probably, from being added to the number. Of the
nature of the shock sustained, which has fallen chiefly, in this
instance, on the members of the Stock-Exchange, some notion
may be formed when it is stated, that since the Ist of May the
fall in Spanish Scrip was 30 per cent., and on Spanish
Stock per cent., reckoning from the highest to the lowest
prices quoted, with many intermediate fluctuations. The
fall during the same period was 19 per cent. on the Por-
tuguese 5 per Cents., and 21 per cent. on the 3 per Cents. ;
on Colombian 19 per cent., and very considerable on
all the South American securities. When the total amount of
stock on which this enormous depreciation took place within so
short a space of time is considered, which is not less nomi-
nally than 40,000,0001. or 50,000,000/., it will not be so
much matter of surprise that extensive ruin followed it, as that
any body of men, however well connected and liberally sup-
ported, were able to sustain the shock at all. The more pru-
dent capitalists, who are also the largest and most wealthy of
the city, abstain wholly, it should be '.observed, from such
transactions, either directly or indirectly. The effects of the
panic were confined therefore to a very small circle, and the
transactions of the other classes of the monied interest were
only disturbed by it in a very slight degree. Much benefit is,
on the whole, anticipated from it, by discouraging speculation
and putting an end almost entirely to time bargains in the fo-
reign funds, which was the principal cause of the mischief.
