COLONIAL
St:GAIL—In the market for British Plantation a fair
business has been done, about 550 hhds having been sold
(inclusive of those by auction) at previous prices. The
public sales have contained 283 casks 161 barrels St.
Lucia, 821 bags Bengal, 500 bags Madras, and 100 casks
Madras Molasses. The St. Lucia went off without
spirit, and only about one-half found buyers at 54s to
61s for good brown to very good yellow, being about
the previous value. All the Bengal and part of the Madras,
sold, the former at 58s to 70s for fine soft to very fine
strong chrystalised yellow, and the latter at 42s to 46s
for very low dark to mid brown, being for the Madras
comparatively cheap, and the Bengal about former prices.
The Molasses were taken in at 16s. The quantity of
British Plantation landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 360 hhds 52 tierces 72 barrels,
and there were taken for home consumption 1,363 hhd
250 tierces 250 barrels. The stock in the same places is

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There are Cape of Good Hope papers at the North
and South American Coffee-House to the 10th of
July, and from Graham's Town to the end of the
same month. It is very satisfactory to find that the
coasting trade of the colony was on the increase. At
Port Natal there had been a considerable augumentation
of exports, but in the imposts some diminution was ob-
servable. The abolition of port charges in the colony, it
was expected, would bring a vast addition to the import
trade. The Graham's Town Journal states that the
Kafirs had recommenced their depredations in the most
daring manner. Many of the farmers had had portions
of their cattle stolen. Even the missionaries were not now
exempted from losses of their stock. An ordinance had
been issued by Governor Sir Peregrine Maitland, with
the consent of the Legislative Council, for applying a
sum not exceeding 172,179 L odd, for the service of the
year 1815. From Fort Beaufort we learn that the Kafir
chief, Botman, had been captured and imprisoned by .or-
der of the authorities, and that 300 of the tribe had
nearly succeeded in taking Major Lamont of the 91st
regiment. His preservation -was owing to the fleet-
ness of his horse. There was some further par-
ticulars given from Port Elizabeth of the damage
done to the Repulse East Indiaman. The barque,
Prince of Waterloo, stood by the Repulse, and
assisted her into harbour. The damaged vessel was
under repair. About 300 tons of her cargo were thrown
overboard. Her decks were almost cleared. The cargo
consisted of 3,000 bags of rice, 3,000 bales of jute, 2,000
bags of sugar, 250 hhds. of rum, 2,000 bags of saltpetre,
&c. Most of the cargo was injured. There were about
twenty-five British ships in harbour at Table Bay.
The English Securities have to-day been quiet again,

On Thursday evening, about seven o'clock, as an
elderly lady, named Mills, residing in Star-street,
Gravesend, was proceeding along the road that leads
from Gravesend to Northfleet, by the side of the
Rosherville gardens, she was met by a couple
of shabbily dressed ruffians, one of whom threw a hand-
ful of snuff in her face, and then, with the aid of
his companion, robbed her of a valuable gold watch that
was hanging by her side. The attack was so sudden
and unexpected, that Mrs. Mills had not the power of
raising even the least alarm, and the ruffians were con-
sequently suffered to escape 11,4 their plunder.
