SUGAR.

The following are given by a City firm as the quantities
of Raw Sugar taken for home use at the four principal ports
of England this year, to the Ist inst., compared with those of
the two previous years :

1844. 1843. 1842.
West India 17,825 23,565 26,574 tons.
Mauritius
Bengal 29,904 36,234 19,794

Total
The stock of Raw Sugar, subject to 245. per cwt. and 5
per cent., on the Ist inst., was estimated at 20,000 tons. •
We observe that the sugar refiners of Holland, 11 of
whom employ steam power, manufacturing no less than
50,000,0001b5. per annum, and 15 working in the old
method, producing 4i millions of pounds weight, are
maintaining the character for the excellence of the
article they produce, and while in other countries the same
branch of industry is drooping, they successfully compete
with us in the Mediterranean and various foreign markets.
This, of necessity, is one of the effects of our •high duties sys 7

his
late Royal Highness, that the extraordinary collection of books
contained in the late Duke's library at kensinglon Palace,
shall be submitted to public competition, and Messrs. Evans,
of Pall-mall, have been entrusted with the disposal of the
same. The first portion of the library, the sale of which will'
commence during the present month, includes his late Roy,-al
Highness's extraordinary collection 'of Bibles, and a large
number of theological works. Among the most remarkable
books in this division, are a copy of the Biblia Sacra hie-
braica, a splendid volume printed on vellum, of which only
one other copy is known to exist, and that is in the library
of the Duke of Parma. A copy of the first edition of the
Latin Bible, the first book ever printed with moveable types.
The New Testament in the Ethiopic language, with all the
Epistles of St. Paul. The first edition of the Polish Bible,
printed at the expense of Prince Radziwick, a work ex-
tremely rare, the copies having been bought up and burnt by
the Prince's son, when he turned Roman Catholic. The first
edition of Coverdale's Bible (date 1535), and early copies of
the Scriptures in every known language, are • to be found in
this division. The second portion of the sale will contain
the late Duke's valuable collection of ancient manuscripts;

volumes. The catalogue has been a work of great labour,
but it is at length completed, and will be issued in a few
daya. . Much regret is felt by many persons that this mag-
niticent library should be dispersed, especially as his late
Royal Highness expressed a wish in his-last will that Govern-
ment should purchase the collection for the British MU-
scum. The Duke ordered that the library should remain un-
touched for twelve months after his decease, to give Govern-
inent the option of making the purchase, and if not completed •
by that time, the. collection was to be,sold by auction.- The, .
prescribed period has of course' now elapsed, Sir Robert Peel
has declined to recommend the purchase, and thus the public
will be afforded the means of possessing themselv-- .er
of the rarest treasures in bibliogranb-~
