The following are riven 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 :-

The stock of Raw Sugar, subject to 245. per cwt. and 5

50,000,0001b5. per annum, and 15 working in the old
method, producing 41 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 mid various foreign markets.
This, of necessity, is one of the effects of our high duties
sSs-
tem. The importation of raw sugar into Holland last year
was 75,000,0001b5., of which no less than 50,006,0001b5. were
on Government account, the Treasury netting profits thereby
to the extent of 1,300,000 or 1,400,000 florins.

THE LIBK •
ART OF THE LATE DUKE OF SUSSEX.—+
It is of length definitively arranged by the executors of his
late
Royal Highness, that the extraordinary collection of books
contained in the late Duke's library at Kensington 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 Royal
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 He-
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, Dnke 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 lie' turned Roman Catholic. The first
edition of Coverdale's Bible (date 1535), and early copies of
the Scriptures in every known language, aro to be found in
this division. The second portion of the sale will contain
the late Duke's valuable collection of ancient manuscripts ;
and the third portion will consist of historical works. The
divisions above described have been rendered necessary by
the enormous extent of the library, which exceeds 50,000
volumes. The catalogue has been a work of great labour,
but it is at length completed, and will be issued in a few
days. Much regret is felt by many persons that this mag-
nificent 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-
seum. The Duke ordered that the library should remain un-
touched for twelve months after his decease, to give Govern-
ment 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 themselves of some
of the rarest treasures in bibliography ever offered for sale,
