COLONIAL.

SUGAR—There has been rather more business doing in
British Plantation, about 300 hogsheads having found buyers
at fully previous rates, and the market is rather firmer. The
public sales have consisted of 4,113 bags Bengal, the whole
of which sold at and after the sale, and went off much
better than was expected, viz., at 62s to 68s 6d for low to
fine white Benares, and mid to fine soft yellow at 58s 6d to
61s 6d, being fully previous prices. Privately about 250
boxes yellow Havannah, of good colour, but of old importa-
tion and inferior_ quality, have been disposed of (for export)
at 20s 6d, which is the extreme value. The quantity of
British Plantation landed last week at the East and West
India Docks was 228 hhds 113 barrels, and there were taken

stock in the same places is 3,731 hhds 274 tierces 706 barrels.
CoFFEE.-245 bags East India found buyers at 32s for ord
mixed Batavia, which is the extreme. Privately there is
no material change to notice, excepting in Ceylon, of which
about 1,000 bass have been sold at 63s 6d to 64s for good
ord quality, being again a further decline of is.

West India Docks was 123 puns 41 hhds. There were taken

FROM THE BRINE MARat 20.--Aooonutif Mee
Copenhagen, which may be depended en, confirm the
news from Washington, that the Americans threaten to
interfere by force in the affair of the Sound duties. We
hear that Great Britain and Russia have been requested
to intervene by diplomatic negotiations in this matter.
FUNERAL OP THE COUNTESS or UXBRIDGE.--The
interment of the late much-lamented Countess of 'Uxbridge
took place at Lichfield, on Saturday last, in the family vault
attached to the cathedral of that ancient city, surrounded by
a numerous assemblage of sorrowing friends. The body had
been previously removed from his Lordship's town residence,
and from the time of its arrival at Lichfiekl, on Friday, to a late
hour in the evening, lay in state, in the room, appropriately
arranged for its reception. The coffin was covered with
crimson Genoa velvet, richly ornamented, and the more re-
spectable part of the inhabitants were admitted. The proces-
sion began to move precisely at half-past eleven o'clock.
The assemblage of persons was very great to witness the
mournful scene, whose sympathies were strongly excited as
the cortege approached the venerable pile. The hearse, drawn
by six horses, with velvet coverings and feathers, was followed
by five mourning coaches, each drawn by four horses, contain-
ing the Earl of Uxbridge (chief mourner), the Marquis of
Anglesey, Lord Paget, Colonel Bagot, Bishop of Oxford, Rev.
Charles.Bagot, Ron. winiara Begot, Rev. Francis Paget,
Lord Alfred Paget, Lord George pager, Hon. George Bang,
Earl of Sandwich, Viscount sydoey, and Cameron Esq. ;
three domestics of the Earl of LT*bridge—Mrs. Bagmen, Mrs.
Lullman, and Mr. Henwood • and Mr. Darling, Steward to
the Marquis of Anglesey. We regret to add that the Earl
of Winchilsea was prevented attending, in consequence of
the precarious state of health from which Lady Winchilsea
has long been suffering, and which has been painfully in-
creased by this melancholy event.
