(From the London New Price Current, of April 2.)
SUGAR.—The rates previously established have generally
been maintained for West India Sugar. To-day more desire
was manifested on the part of grocers and refiners to pur-
chase West India Sugar, but the small and indifferent show
operated against business ; the prices paid were fully equal to
those of Friday, and in some cases rather above for bright
yellow and stron_g grey qualities.
REFINED.— to-day the home trade were large purchasers
of Refined Sugar, and prices are still advancing : brown
saleable lumps fetching 74t 6d to 755, and standard lumps 76s
6tl to 775-per cwt. Bastards more in request at 47s to 58s.
In Scum Treacle a good deal is doing at 18s to 20s. Bonded

has been taken sparingly, and prices are going down. To-day

contract, and for shipping few parcels were disposed of; of

competition, and sold as follows :—Triage at lOs to 245, bold

In consequence of the fineness of the weather on Sun-
day, the steamers were unusually crowded, and the iron
steam-boats above bridge, and the watermen's steamers
below bridge, carried upwards of 50,000 persons, during the
day, to Chelsea, Greenwich, Woolwich, and other places.
The people were flocking to the steam-boat piers in great
numbers, until sunset. Greenwich Park was very full of
visitors ' • and Richmond, Gravesend, and other places to
which the Londoners resort on fine Sundays, presented a
Very busy appearance. There were not less than fifty
steamers engaged in carrying passengers. At the Adelphi
pier, Strand, which has been lately enlarged and improved,
11,000 persons landed and embarked during the day.
We regret to hear that the Duke of St. Alban'.
met with some severe contusions whilst hunting in Lincoln-
shire the other day. The Noble Duke is, however, rapidly
approaching convalescence, under the care of Mr. Alexander
and Mr. Tupper.

manded from last Saturday on suspicion of being concerned
in the late coach robbery of 1,500 sovereigns, was resumed
this morning at the county gaol (where he has been in cus-
tody since yesterday week), before Dr. Mambam and Mr.
Sheppard, of Denton-house, two magistrates of the county
The examination was again strictly private. The prisoner
was provided with an eminent counsel (Mr. Ballantine, froM
London), but he, as well as the prisOner's solicitor (Mr. Ro-
binson, also of London), were refused admittance. In conse-
quence of the -strictly private manner in which this business
is conducted, it is very difficult to obtain the informaiiion we
could desire to lay before our readers. We are, however, in-
formed that .in the examination to-day nothing new has
transpired, and that the prisoner is again remanded to
Thursday next. The magistrates intimated to him that pre-
vious to his being committed, he might avail himself of the
services of his counsel and solicitor, as at the last examine-
tion they would he allowed to be present. Although only a
few witnesses gave their evidence, the examination lasted froal
ten tiCl94 to the aterilQol3,
