CITY MARKETS.-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

PLANTATION SUGARS.—There is a little inclina-
tion to do business this morning, and a few small
parcels have bem sold at prices barely equal
to last week's. The quantity of Mauritius Su-
gar brought forward by public sale - almost
daily has greatly tended to depress the raw market,
as the quality of the new crop generally has•been
good. 4780 bags were brought forward this morn-
ing, which are now selling. The inferior qualities
about Is. lower ; middling and good coloury at much
about last week's prices.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—No alteration.

REFINED SUGARS.--Although the Market ge-
nerally has the appearance of being very flat, there is
business doing quietly in the low description of
goods, at rather lower prices. In the middling there
is more doing for crashing, and in crashed also, and
some large contracts are endeavoring to be made at
about the quotations.
COFFEE.—The market continues very much de-
pressed. Some extensive sales of foreign Coffee are
advertised for this week. By private contract there
has been nothing done.
FRUIT.—The demand has rather improved this
week for New Red Smyrna and Denia Raisins, in
baskets : of the former, several parcels have been
sold at 455. to 455. 6d.; of the latter, a parcel has
been done at 405., quality good.
SPICES.—Little activity is apparent in this
market. The trade are waiting the result of the
India House sale, on the 12th, before they do any
business of consequence. The quantity to be offered
is not considerable, excepting Cloves. The holders
appear disposed rather to remain in stock, than sell
at the present depressed prices.
SALTPETRE has not recovered from the depression
of last week. Sales are quoted as low as 225. 6d.
The home consumption is steady, but few orders
have been received lately for export. Speculation in
the article is quite stagnant. The holders are dis-
posed to sell, as they entertain an opinion that a war
in the East of Europe is less probable than ever,
and that the present Administration will be enabled
amicably to settle the Greek question. As the
India Company have raised the taxed price of tha
Saltpetre to be sold on the 12th inst., much demand
is not expected to arise.
TALLOW.—Much speculative business has been
done since this day week in Tallow on the prospect
of the present stock not being adequate to meet the
demand until the arrival of the spring ships. For
immediate delivery 395. 6d. per cwt. has been given
while for future delivery the price is 2s. lower. Al-
though Tallow on the spot is stated to be at 395. 6d.
no large bargains have certainly been effected above
395. 3d. The accounts from St. Petersburgh state
that the supply this year will not be far short of
200,000 casks. There are few buyers to be found
for Bristles. The prices are at present at 101. per
cwt. lower, for the superior qualities, than they were
three years ago. Hemp and Flax are again heavy.
INDIGO.—The averages of the sales just con-
cluded are these :—Fine quantities from 6d. to 9d.
per lb. under last sale. Ordinary 9d. to Is. 6d.
lower. Madras 6d. to 9d. lower, and Oude 6d. to
12d. per lb. cheaper. As all the recent accounts re-
lative to the crop are favourable; prices are heavy
to-day.
In HOPS business is brisk, at a further advance in
price. Fine quantities are most in demand. The
imp4ovement in Kent and Sussex pockets in the
last ten days has been from ss. to 6s. per cwt. Kent
pockets from .51. .ss. to 6/. 125., and Sussex ditto
from 945. to 98s. per cwt.

WINES have not much improved in price, and the
reported new duty has not tended to increase busi-
ness. Large quantities have been delivered from
the Docks since this day week of all descriptions,
and the duties paid in the same period are stated to
be between 70,000/. to 80,0001.
COTTON.--No business of importance has been
transacted in Cotton since this day week. The ac-
counts from- Liverpool of an increase of business
there has produced rather more firmness here ; bat
the prices are not higher. The commercial advices
from the continent are more favourable, as regards
the demand for British manufactured eeLtons. The
export of Cotton Wool at present ;s on a limited
scale; and the purchasers are almost exclusively for
home consumption.

The Duke of CLA RENcE arrived at his resi-
dence in the Admiralty on Sunday evening, from Ports-
mouth. About 10 o'clock yesterday morning, his Royal
Highness left town in his carriage-and-four, and pro-
ceeded to Woolwich dock-yard, where hie Royal Highness
arrived about 11 o'clock. Commodore Wurrx received
the Loan HIGH ADMIRAL on his arrival, and attended
his Royal Highness on board the Lightning steam-packet,
which conveyed the Duke on board a brig of war, distant
between one and two miles down the river, which had
been refitting at the Dock-yard, and had been ordered to
proceed on service this morning. After visiting this vessel,
the Duke inspected the improved plans of building ships,
which are being carried into execution in the yard. After
partaking of a dejeune with Commodore WHITE, his
Royal Highness left Woolwich dock-yard soon after two
o'clock in the afternoon, and returned to the Admiralty.
Mr. PEEL had au interview with the Duke
of WELLINGTON yesterday. Earl BATHURST and Lord
ELLExsonouGii visited Earl DUDLEY yesterday, at the
Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

RALS transacted business yesterday at the Home Office.
Mr. SIEVELING, of Hamburg!), transacted
business with Earl DUDLEY yesterday, at the Foreign
Office.

Yesterday orders were received for delaying
the sailing of the two line-of-battle ships Revenge and
Melville. The Albion and Rose came into harbour this
morning. They were enthusiastically cheered by the in-
habitants from the different batteries, and by the respec-
tive ships in the harbour. The .Egerton transport is ar-
rived, bringing detachments of regiments and stores from
Gibraltar and Malta. His Royal Highness the LORD
Man ADMIRAL returned to Bushy yesterday morning.
It is reported that the Albion will be cut down to a frigate,
