THE ANNE, FROM SULINA TO ENGLAND.
" Foreign-office, Sept. 30, 1844.
" Sir,—l am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to
transmit to you, for the information of the Chairman
and Committee of Lloyd's, the copy of a dispatch from
her Majesty's Consul at Jassy, reporting the death of
Edwin Gondel, master of the British schooner Anne,
at Sulina, and the consequ.nt detention of the vessel at
that port.—l am, yours, &c.,
(Signed) " IL M. ADDINGTON."

" Jassy, Aug. 19, 1844.

"My Lord,—Mr. Vice-Consul Cii-nningharn, of Ga-
latz, has sent the inclosed statement from the Russian
Vice-Consulate, which I have the honour to transmit.
It relates to the schooner Anne, at Salina, whose cap-
tain died there, and mate ,and two seamen remain dan-
gerously ill. Only two men were well of the whole
crew. Mr. Cunningham writes. that the case impe-
riously calling for his assistance, it was his intention to
proceed himself, or send an agent there, and adds that
fever has been prevalent in the Danube this year.
"The British shipping frequenting the Danube is in-
considerable, and it seems to require some explanation
why accidents should happen to them under some form
or other, when proceeding by one of the least dangerous
navigations in the world, except at the Sulina Bar, and
perhaps at Julera, the Danube having more the appear-
ance of a deep canal than a river, for many miles before
it falls into the Black Sea. My observation
applies to the information also communicated by Mr
Cunningham, that the British brig, Rambler, has met
with damage going down the Danube. As every justice
must be rendered to the British merchant marine, there
would seem in these accidents something intentionally
created to cause the injury. The narrowness of the
river, divided into numerous branches, exposes vessels to
the risk of collision, and on the other hand, the lower
ground forming the island of Leti and St. George, is
marshy and covered with reeds, which in the heat of
summer must engender malady.
" I have the honour to mention these circumstances, as
they explain the accidents without altogether satisfying
me. They may discourage British shipping from fre-
quenting a navigation which offers great advantage to
enterprise, as testified by the thousand vessels which
annually visit the ports of the Danube.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) " SAMUEL GARDNER."
" To the Earl of Aberdeen," &c., &c.
The communication from the Russian Vice-C insu-
late of Galatz, referred to, is nearly a repetition of the
information contained in the above letter.

The rest of the crew, three in number, had been sent
to the hospital at Galata, but little hope was enter
tained of their recovery. The ship and cargo had been
placed under the protection of the maritime authorities
of the port.

SUGAR.--A good business has been doing in British
Plantation, about 700 hhds having been sold at pre-
vious rates. The public sales have contained 123
casks Barbadoes, 7,269 bags 89 casks Mauritius, 4,696
bags and 150 casks Bengal. The Barbadoes chiefly
found buyers, but at still lower prices, viz. 56s to 63s for
mid greyish to fine yellow. The Mauritius and Ben-
gal went off very heavily and irregularly, and at most
instances at a decline of is to is 6d, the greatest re-
duction being on the inferior sorts. About two-thirds
found buyers at 40s to 535, for very low soft to fine
brown Mauritius, low to fine yellow, ditto 53s 6d to 63g,
very low soft brown date kind to mid brown Khaur
Bengal, 37s 6d to 46s 6d; fine soft yellow to fine strong
crystalised ditto, .57s to 67s 6d; and low soft to good
white Benares, 56s 6d to 645. The quantity of British
Plantation landed last week at the East and West India
Docks was 1,879 hhds 254 tierces 381 barrels, and
there were taken for home consumption 1,409 hhds 173
tierces 134 barrels. The stock in the same places is
14,144 hhds 2,086 tierces 3,628 barrels.
COFFEE.-902 bags Singapore Java, and 351 bags Rio
offered by auction, were taken in ; fine ord coloury Rio
at 323 6d, and the Singapore Jai, a withdrawn; but after-
wards a small portion sold at 40s 6d for very good urd
quality, being under the previous nominal value.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India l)ocks was 1,211 puns 38 hhds ; there were
taken for home constitution 156 puns 13 hhds, and ex-
ported 218 puns 92 hhds. The stock in the same places
is 1,219 puns 2,073 hhds.
RICE.-1,351 bags Bengal at auction sold readily at
Its fid to 12s for good mid white, which is rather dearer.
SPICES.-268 bags Malabar Pepper found buyers at
3id to aid for fair half heavy brown, being the former
value.
TALLOW.—P.Y.O is steady at 41s 6d for new, and old
at 41s per cwt on the spot. Town is 44s per cwt.
TEA.—The market is steady. The deliveries continue
to a fair extent.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 1.)
SUGAR.—For Westludia Sugar a reduction on previous
rates of is having been accepted for low and middling,
and 6d per cwt for the better qualities, caused the trade
to come forward with increased freedom, and for Refin-
ing purposes a good demand has prevailed. To-day
there was a good business transacted in the West
India Sugar market, and the rates previously established
supported. The purchases amount to 580 hdds, including
148 hhds 2 trcs of Barbadoes Sugar at public sale, which,
however, went off with much heaviness at prices 6d per
cwt under those of Friday's sale ; excepting for fine,
which fetched the former currency—low yellow sold at
55s to 55s 6d, middling 56s to 58s, good middling to
good 58s 6d to 595, and fine 61s to 65s per cwt.
REFINED.—The purchases made in Refined Goods
have been large by the home trade, and prices remain
firm. To-day the low and middling descriptions of
Rafined Goods were in excellent request by the home
trade; standard lumps at 74s 6d to 755, and brown lumps
73s to 73s 6d, per cwt, but of such not many parcels are
to be had ; in the finer sorts there is not much doing
but prices are firm. Bonded crushed Sugar is much
wanted, and prices closed firmly at 27s 6d to 27s 9d
per cwt.
Matrnmus.—There has been a good business tran-
sacted in this description of Sugar, but importers have
been compelled to submit to a reduction on previous
rates of 6d to is per cwt, the depression
being still principally upon inferior and brown sorts.
This afternoon 754 bags were submitted to public com-
petition, and went 6d per cwt under former rates ; very
low brown sold at 40s, mid 43s 6d to 46s 6d,good to fine
47s 6d to 50s, good middling yellow 565, middling 53s
6d to 55s 6d, for low 52s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon several public sales of
Bengal Sugar took place. The total quantity offered
amounted to 7,947 bags, the chief portion of which con-
sisted of Date and low damp brown ; of these a small
part Only sold at rather lower rates—damp brown
went at 48s to 50s, low and middling 43s 6d to 475,
mid sound yellow Date 54s to 555, good ditto 56s to
58s, damp and washed 52s to 545, mid sound grey 56e
to 57s 6d.; other sorts were held for the former currency,
but a small proportion only sold, fine white at 65s to
665, good 62s 6d to 63s 6d,10w and mid 59s to 60s, damp
and washed 57s to 658 6d, mid strong yellow 61s 6d,
good 63s to 63s 6d, fine 655, and damp and washed 48s
to 63s 6d. Of Madras 133 bags were sold at 41a 6d for
low heavy brown.
FOREIGN.—Prices are fully supported for Brazil Sugar,
and all descriptions have been in good demand. To-
day all descriptions of Foreign Sugar were sought after,
but the stiff rates asked operated against business. A
floating cargo of 2,600 boxes fine yellow Havannah was
sold at 22s per cwt deliverable at Antwerp.
MOLASSES.—There has been little business transacted
in West India, but holders are not inclined to submit to
any further decline in prices, which vary from 20s to 24s
per cwt. The stock is nearly three times greater than it
was last year at this period.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was better sup-
plied with East India Coffee. At public sale 892 bags
'Ceylon, 38 casks of Mocha,_ 18 bags of Madras, and
1,198 bags various sorts of East India were offered.
Ceylon went at s decline on former rates of to
