There is rather an increased demand for money in the
City this morning, and we hope that it is in consequence
of requiremements for the purposes of trade and comm'ece.
We are happy to find that the year 1843, comparatively'
shows a very gratifying increase in the comforts of the pep,
pie. In 1842 the quantity off sugar consumed was 3,876,44°.
cwts., in 1843 4,045,181 cwts. • of coffee the consumption int
1842 was 28,567,157 lbs., in 1843 30,031,606 lbs.; of tea,
hajdut
1842, the consumption was 37,389,576 lbs., and in 1843 it
increased to 40,302,981 lbs. ; showing an incre,ase
of nearly three million pounds. In spirits there_
has been a slight increase in the consumption 01.
rum, but a very considerable decrease in the consumption s'
brandy, which we would hope has arisen from an improver'
anent in the drinking habits of the more respectable classes.
The total exports declared in 1842 were valued ar, -
40,785,3501., in 1843 at 44,720,5631. We are indebted to the
circular of Messrs. Franks and Millard for these facts.
The Express news from Paris, that the Cabinet of Louie
Philippe does not approve of the conduct of the French Ad-
miral, in dethroning Queen Pomare and taking possession
,of Tahiti has afforded much satisfaction in the City this
morning, but the Funds have not been firmer in conseqence.

The Share Market is quiet again, partly because ther
holders are inclined to ask fuller rates. This applies to
Brighton, Birmingham, South Western, South Eastern, and
