COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, MAY Se--iWe have experienced this
week a fair demand for middling and good scale
SUGAR. 'for the home trade. of which - descriptions
about 600 hhis; have been sold at steady prices ;
but the brown qualities remain dull, and might be'
purchased at lower rates. Besides- the above, 200
bags Middling and good white Bengal Sugar have
been sold at 755. per cwt. In Foreign 'Sugar no-
thing done. West India Molasses are in a little,
more request ; 700 punchs. have been sold-T-rAn.
tigua at 255. 6d. and Demerara at. 25F. 9d. to 265.
6d. per ewt.-The business done. in Coffee is con-
fined to a public sale of Jamaica, at which about 70
tees, were sold (mostly unclean) at a reduction of
2s. per cw t. ; a sale of Demerara Coffee was • at=
tempted, and withdrawn for want of bidders.
Cocoa, Pimento and Ginger remain in the same dull
state.-Rums arc steady, and considerable business
done, consisting chiefly_ of strong Demerara 36 O.P.
sold at 4s. per gallop.
Our COTTON market was very. dull during the
greater part of the week, and in some instances a
slight concession was made in the prices of American
descriptions; the demand, however, considerably re-
vived yesterday, and our qucirtations now re-
main the same
_as.last week. The sales (of which
2000 bags. American have been on speculation)
amount to 9340 bags, consisting of.
2340 Bowed at std. to-7d. chiefly at 60. to 61d. for
middling fair and fair.

Th6-TOBAC,Co market remains without interest,
the sales being on a limited scale, without alteration
in prices. We have experienced more demand for
Rice than •for some time past; the sales are about
450 casks of Carolina, at 16s. to 17s. 9d., principally
at 17s. to 17s. 9d., and 1,900 bags white Bengal, at
13s. 6d. per cwt. Our Corn market has remained
without alteration : the imports of Wheat and Oats
from Ireland continue large, particularly of Oats;
prices have been maintained without any variation
worthy Of . notice. The exportation of Foreign
Wheat in bond to the Isle of Man, continues to be
actively carried on, and we have received -some con-
siderable parcels of Flour in return. A cargo of
recently imported Wheat from Rostock has also been
sold for the same destination at ss. 3d. per 70 lbs.
Cloverseed has been almost without inquiry. About
350 hhds. -New York sowing Flaxseed have been
disposed of at 425. to 425. 6d., and a few .hhde. of
Dutch at 565. per hhd. •
• • . . _

We have to notice some decline in the prices of
both TAR and TURPENTINE Since our last; in the
former of 6d. per brl., and the latter of 6d. per cwt.:
the sales are 1,350 bile. Carolina Tar at lls. 9d. to
12s. per brl., and 1,2.50 brls. Turpentine at lls. 3d.
to 1 ls. 6d. -per cwt.-Quercitron Bark is in steady
demand, fine qualities bring 16s. 6d. to 17s. and
middling 13s. per cwt. Ihe business done in Aslies
has not been so extensive as the preceding week,
but the prices of Pot Ashes have-experienced a fur.-
titer advance of 6d. per cwt., whilst Pearl Ashes,
at some public sales brought forward on the 28th
nlt., declined 6d. to per etvt. The tatal'ales of
the week are 860 brk, consisting of 250 brls. Mon-
treal Pot at 28s. 6d. to 295. 6d. for old, and 31s.
to 31s. 6d. for new ; 500 brig, Montreal Pearl at
28s. for old, and 295. to 295.,9d. for new; with
110 brls. New York Pot, branded 1828, at 335.
per cwt.
There has been a good inquiry for LOGWOOD,
Principally for exportation, for which purpose about
400 tons Campeachy have been taken at 71. Bs. per
ton, and upwards of 200 tons have been sold for
home use at 71. 10s. per ton from the quay.-The
demand for Fustic has been limited, and the few
sales made have been scarcely worthy of, notice.--No sales are reported in Nicaragua Wood, Barwood,
or Camwood.=There has been but little done in any
description of Indigo, and the attention of dealers
will now probably be directed to the public sales an-
nounced for the.2Bth inst., which it is thought will
consist of 1000 to 1500 chests.-Lac Dye, Cochi-
neal, ands -Safflower- remain neglected.-The demand
for Shumac has taken off about 400 bags Sicily at
los. ;fd: to 105..9d., and a small lot of Verona at
7s. 6d. per cwt.-Madder Roots are dull of sale, and
some public sales of French were without bidders.-
Madders continue without alteration.
Some sales of Venetian Cream of Tartar have been
effected at 71s. to 725. per cwt.--Brimstone has re-
mained almost without inquiry.-For Saltpetre there
is a fair demand, but the large arrivals causing
holders to be anxious to press sales, a further decline
has been submitted to ; about 2,000 bags have- been
disposed of at 21s. 6d. to 245. 3d. per cwt.-For
Olive Oil the demand on the whole is but limited;
about 30 tuns Spanish have found buyers at 321.
with small lots of Gallipoli at 361. per tun.-Palm
Oil steady, but the sales are limited to, small parcels
it 25/. 10s. to 26/. per ton.-Tallow remains with-
out alteration.-The sales in Hides are 1,000 dry
Buenos Ayres CoW'andOic at 12d.; 360 dry salted
Brazil at 7d.; 450 NeW York salted at 5d.; and
450 Danish salted at to 51d. per lb.

The long pending match between' the London
and Edinburgh chess clubs ►s st►ll going on. It is about
four years since the match was begun, and four games
have bee* played with equal success. The fifth is now
playing, and the pieces are reduced to three, and the
pawns to five on each side ; b►►t we understand that the
London Club have it in their power to take a bishop with-
out any immediate loss to themselves. In this situation it
may be presumed that the fate of the game and match is
no longer doubtful.—Edinburgh Observer.
It is reported that a titled widow has Become
a Protestant preparatory to her expected marriage with a
Protestant Noble Peer. It is also added that the brother
of the Nobleman has successfully wooed a Catholic heiress,
previously to which he will become a Catholic—thus the
new Reformation gains nothing..--Dublin Patriot.

THE CONCERT AT DEVONSHIRE HOUSE,
on Friday evening, was distinguished by the presence of a
large proportion of the leaders in the fashionable world.
The concert took place in the saloon. It commenced about
eleven o'clock with a duetto, by Madame STOCKHAUSEN
and Signor DE BEGNIS, " Eliza e Claudio ;" next,
Mademoiselle SONTAG, Madame STOCKHA USES, and
Madame MOVIN, from " Matrimonio Segretto." In the
second part, au Aria, the composition of Pixts, was sung
by Mademoiselle SONTAG, • and it elicited much applause.
The finale, " Dell' Italiana in Algeri," by Mesdames Soar-
Tau, STOCKHAUSEN, Movna, Signori BEGREZ, ZUCHELLI,
DE BEGNIS. The music ceased about two o'clock, when
the 'usual supper-rooms were throw;n open. About three
the party broke up. The same splendour, taste, and libe-
rality, as usual, were displiyed on the occasion. The
splendour of the scene reminded the visitor of the match-
lees chandelier, which both surprised and delighted every
eye on that night, and then first exhibited in the great
banqueting hall—a present from no less a personage than
the King of Pitussta. But the great ingenuity and no-
velty in the device excited the most admiration, it being so
constructed as to give effect to the antlers of " The Hero
of the Forest." In plain language—the King of Paussza
(wishing to mark the Duke of 'DEvoNsHIRE's great atten-
tion to his sons whilst in this—cOutitry-in as delicate a way
as possible); directed four bucks, whose horns were of a
peculiar form and fabric; to be sent to that"celebrated artist,
BORTIN, at -Berlin, who was directed to take casts of the
heads, and introduce the horns in appropriate situations.
The effect is truly admirable. We shall say nothing of the
exquisite workmanship. The whole, except the horns,. is
:la mass of gold (or-molu); and lighted up, as it was on that
night by an infinity of wax tapers, it had an air-of gran-
deur very difficult to describe. -
Last Saturday the Members of the Royal
