COLONIAL
SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation is deci-
dedly more firm, and after the public sales some parcels
were disposed of! at rather better prices ; about 450 hhds
have been sold. There has been rather more disposition
shown to purchase Molasses, but as holders demand
higher prices, no transactions have taken place worth
reporting. The public sales have consisted chiefly of
12,151 bags Mauritius and 1,094 bags Bengal. The
whole of the Mauritius sold, and went off with spirit
(nearly one-half was taken by one broker, supposed
to be on speculation), at fully previous prices, and in
some instances rather dearer; very low to fine brown
brought 43s to 54s 6d, and low to fine yellow, 55s to 65s
6d. Nearly all the Bengal also found buyers, the
greater part at comparatively very high prices ; viz.,
68s to 71s for good to fine strong grainy yellow (Dhobah
kind), and the remainder at 53s to Gls for low soft
yellow (Date kind) to mid soft white Benares, being
about previous rates. The quantity of British planta-
tion landed last week at the East and West India Docks
was 1,037 hhds 222 tierces 332 barrels, and there were
taken for home consumption 1,268 hhds 122 tierces 309
barrels. The stock in the same places is 12,748 hhds
1,914 tierces 2,936 barrels.

COFFEE.-4 970 bags Ceylon and 106 bales Mocha
at auction, only a small portion was disposed of at 54s
for good ord Ceylon, which is the former value ; the
remainder was taken in at 65s to 76s for fine ord to fine
fine ord British Plantation kind, being comparatively
very low prices, but at which there were not purchasers.
The Mocha was likewise taken in at 78s for good clean
garbled. A large parcel of Ceylon has been disposed of
privately (amounting to about 3,500 bags), the exact
price of which has not transpired, but is supposed to be
54s 6d or 555.

Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 465 puns 59 hhds. There were
taken for home consumption 176 puns 30 hhds, and ex-
ported 190 puns 97 hhds. The stock in the same places
is 10,070 puns 1,782 hhds.
SALTPETRE.-971 bags Bengal, at auction, were nearly
all taken in at 25s to 27s fur 74 to 24 per cent refrac-
tion, being again cheaper.
TALLow.—P.Y.C. is steady at 41s to 41s 6d per cwt
on the spot, and Town at 43s 6d per cwt.
TEA.— The private market is very firm. There are
public sales declared for Thursday next.
PINE APPLES.—A bout 4,000 were disposed of yester-
day by Keeling and Hunt, being the remainder of the
cargo of the Fear Not, from New Providence. The at-
tendance of buyers was exceedingly good, and many
private purchasers were present, and much judgment
was shown in the distribution of the Pines, as regards
size and quality, which was appreciated by the dealers
and others, who purchased without reserve, at prices
averaging those of former sales. Several exportations
have been made to the Continent; and from this, in con•
junction with the large sales made for home consump-
tion, it is clear that the exportation of the Pine from
the West India Islands to England will shortly become
a more important feature.

IMPROVEMENTS AT BANRSIDE.—During the last
few days extensive alterations have been going on at
Bankside, Southwark, from the east end of Holland-
street, extending as far as Messrs. Barclay's brewhouse,
Bank-end. The principal portion of the roadway, which
has been in a most dangerous state for some years,
has been newly laid down on the most improved system.
In some parts facing the river the road-way has been
raised three feet, chiefly as a protection against the flood
tides, which frequently inundate this portion of the river,
side to an alarming extent, causing inpst serious
destruction of property.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN RE LEWIS JOHN JACKSON.

Mr. NicztoLLs said he appeared to oppose the bank-
rupt's interim order, on the part of a Mr. Riches, who
was a creditor to the amount of 110/. lie opposed the
insolvent on two grounds; first, that this debt had been
contracted in a fraudulent manner; and, secondly, that
when an action had been entered in the Court of Queen's
Bench, the bankrupt by defending said action had in-
curred expenses to the amount of 601., without any
reasonable expectation of being able to pay the same.
Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN—There was an action,
then. What were the damages given ?
Mr. Nicnou.s-50/.

The Learned Counsel then stated that his client Riches
was a coal dealer and collector of rents. He afterwards
took out a license as a broker, and employed the bank-
rupt as his man to take possession at a salary of 2s. 6d.
per day. Some time after this connexion, the bankrupt
proposed that the opposing creditor should advance some
money to buy furniture, on which a profit might be
realised on its subsequent sale. Riches acceded
to the proposition, and an agreement was en-
tered iuto that the bankrupt should have two-thirds of
the property for his trouble, and the creditor, Riches, the
remaining one-third for the use of the money. The con-
nection realised a profit, and continued for about twelve
months ; when one morning it was discovered that
the bankrupt was removing furniture, amounting
to 150/, from Newport-street, where their place
of business then was, to Cambridge-road, where
the bankrupt now resided. He succeeded in re-
moving it, and Riches not being able to procure a settle-
ment, entered an action in the Queen's Bench, and found
damages in 501. Such were the simple circumstances,
and he contended that this fully established his grounds
of objection. Evidence was called to the facts.
. .

Mi:. Commissioner GOULDURN thought that the bank-
rupt in this case came clearly within the wording of the
Act, he having contracted the debt to Mr. Riches in a
fraudulent manner, and was therefore not entitled to the
protection of that Court. The goods were delivered
upon trust, and there being no sale shown or established,
it implied clearly a breach of that trust. He (the Com-
missioner) was therefore obliged to reserve the conside-
ration of the bankrupt's final order, giving him the
protection of the Court.
There was no other case of the slightest interest heard
this morning.
