CITY MARKETS-(TWO O'CLOCK).

SUGAR.—The purchases of British Plantation Sugar
this morning have not been large, but the Grocers are still
buyers, and, but for the quantity of Mauritius pressed
upon the market, prices would have improved beyond 6d.
per cwt. Brown Jamaica may be quoted fully 515., Bar-
bados 535. to 575., and fine Tobagos from 545. to 555.

A FACTORY CHILD'S TALE.—" I work at
Bradley Mills. A few days since I had three wratehed
cardings,' about two inches long. The blubber saw them,
showed them to me, and asked me if this was good
work.' I said ' No.' He then, in the billy gait, took
a thick round leathern thong, and ' wailed' me over
the head and face for, I think, a quarter of an
hour, and for all' my cheek and lips were bleed-
ing, he wailed' me on, and then sent me to my work
again, and I worked till a quarter past seven. I went
to the mill at half-past five in the morning—he ' wailed'
me a bit past one in the afternoon. I worked in
my blood—as I worked the blood dropped all in the
piecening gait. My right cheek was torn open, swelled
very much, and was black. My lips were very much
torn, and each, of them were as thick as three lips. He
lashed me very hard over my back, too, in all directions;
but the skin was not torn because I had my clothes on—
he has many a time strapped me before till I have
been black ; he has often struck me over the head with
the billy roller, and raised great lumps with it. At one
time, when I had thrice ' little flyings,' which I could not
help, he took toe out of the billy gait, lifted me into the
window, tied a rope round my body, and hung me up to
a long pole that was sticking out of the wall, and there
he left me banging about five feet from the floor. I cried
very touch, and so in about ten minutes he took me
down."—The above true account was last week taken,
verbatim, from the lips of a poor child, aged ten years, by
Mr. R. OASTLER, and has by him been communicated to
the Leeds Intelligeneer. If this be not ityant slavery,
what is ?--Morning Herald.
