We hear an illustrious person was within an
ace, or rather a deuce, of being black-balled at the Royal
Society—two balls more would have excluded him. Per-
haps this was owing to the regulation by which it is made
unnecessary to give the same public notice of the ballot of
a person of a certain rank, that is required in ether cases,
and which prevente.i a greater attendance of the Fellows
to skew their opinion of the merits of the candidate.—
Morning Paper.
The arrangements for the new Sugar Bill
seem still to he clogged with considerable difficulties. The
refiners had an interview last week with Mr. Grum', at
which it was found that their objections to being placed
under the surveillance of the Excise were inenrinountable,
and Government therefore has it now under consideration
to allow them to work foreign sugars, giving bond to ex-
port a corresponding quantity in a refined state, and re-
quire them to make a declaration upon oath that it is the
produce of foreign sugar, The question as to the disposal
of refuse left after the process of refining is still open, the
West India interest contending that if it is admitted into
the home consumption, a corresponding advantage ought
to be given to them in the redaction of duty en West India
molasses, which would he liable to sulfar from the cause.
The question regarding the admission of East India
sugar at a lower duty also remains unsettled. Before
any decision is come to upon it, the West India mer-
chants require that an investigation may take place
into the relative expense of cultivating sugar in the East
and the West Indies, in order that the interest of each class
of growers may be adjusted on an equitable basis. This
is the present state of the proceedings relative to the new
sugar bill, which must, at all events, if it passes at all. be
postponed to a late period of the session. Meantime the
uncertainty which exists respecting it has a very i njurious
effect on the market, and that at the time when tie great
bunt of the produce is arriving from the West Indies, as
most purchasers feel anxious to know what the new law is
to be before they enter into any extensive operations. The
worst feature of the discus ions appears to be, that while
Ministers are attempting to reconcile the conflicting inte-
rests of East and West India proprietors and sugar-refiners,
very little is thought of those of the far more numerous
class—i. e. the consumers, who would derive great benefit
front the reduction of duty on so useful an article, without
any material injury to the revenue.— Times.
On the evening of Tuesday last, being the
feast day at St. Encoder, the friends and work-people of
Mr. JOHN VIRCOE, of Kervannack, in that parish, were
assembled in a large barn, uriLler which were ox-stalls, S4C.
making merry in dancing, when a piece of candle, which
was incautiously placed against the wall, fell, unobserved,
through an aperture in the floor upon a parcel of straw
underneath, which it quickly set en tire. Before the per-
estim
110119 assembled above were aware of their danger, the fire
had spread all over the lower part of the building, and
notwithstanding every effort made to check the progress of
the flarnea, the barn and other out-houses were consumed.
Four fine cows, with calf, which were in the stalls at the
time, were burned to death; two or three others are seri-

PROFESSIONAL VANITY.----Even a sexton
likes to have things regularly done. A man was buried
the other day at Richmond, who was detested throughout
the neighbourhood for his Churlishness and avarice, and
not a tear being shed at the c,(Msignment of his remains to
the duet, tin; sex on alarmed at this new order of things
seized a boy who was looking on by the ear, and pinched
him till he wept, as no one else would.—ldull Packet.
Yesterday morning the house of Mr. CEINsT)
ivory-turner, No. 16, Albemarle-street, Clerkenwell, was
broken into, and rohbed of a number of billiard and bags-
telle balls, ivory boxes, apple-scoops, and other ivory ar-
ticles; also a silver watch 'and a bag full of curious silver
and copper coins. Two of Mr. CONST'S servants slept in
the room below that which Wa.9 plundered, and if one of
thrn had not desired the watc.hmaa to call biro before four
o'Clock, the shop would have been completely stripped.
At half-past three the boy was called, and upon going
stairs he saw the contents of several of the drawers lying
about the ground in the shop. The thieves were, how-
ever, kind enough to leave behind them thirteen or four-

LONDON MARKETS, MAT 6.
PLANTATION SUGARS.—The stock this week basil'
rreased to upwards of 5,000 hbds. more than this time.
year, in consequence the market has been better supe
than for some time past, yet the buyers do not purcloW
with spirit, although generally, they hold very small stocks'
There has, however, been more business done to-day di
was expected, and good Sugars from 60s. upwards phalli
very full prices, and are still scarce. This day 150 MO'
new Barbados sold at public sales ; the quality of the
whole was very good, and sold briskly at very full prices
from 635. to 70s. 6d.
FOREIGN SITOA RS are rather dull of sale.
REFINED SUGARS. —There is not CO MRCh doing t°'
day ;-the market, however, continues but scantily .nr
plied, and in prices there is no alteration.
Comm.—There is very little doing by private contract/
the public sale to-day has net come on as yet.
SPIDES.—This market is not quite so firm, owing °
the heavy declaration by the East India Company for ties
week, when the following goods are to be told, viz.
4330 bags of Pepper, white ditto 707 bags ; 1476 bags oI
Cloves ; 1449 bags Ginger ; 507 chests of Cassia Liga&
&c. &c.
Rum.—The market remains extremely buoyant, 04
shipment qualities are much in demand: The stock at
present in the Docks is only 8485 puncheons, somaidersk4
under what it was last year. A further rise is expected;
In Turkey produce there has been souie business ‘14291
since this day week. Opium fully maintains • the fait
advance. •• '"
Inniao.—A good demand has sprung up for slAipping
qualities. There have been several purchases of Oude
from 3d. to 4d. above the last sale prices. In the col'
tinental markets there was likewise more doing, according
to the advises from Hamburgh, Holland, &c.
SA LTPETRE. —The demand for this article is very dull
a further decline, the buyers waiting the result of the Coo-
paay's sale of upwards of 600 tons, on the 13th inst. Sale*
are reported at 225. 9d. per cwt.
The commercial accounts from St. Petersburgh of ye-
terday are not very satisfactory, although the Exchange on
London was stiff, at 10,1. 5-32. Tallow was from v'
98 rubles, with a languid market. Since the last road
very little had been bought. In London there is, also $
heavy market for Tallow, at 38s. 6d. per cwt. The deli-
veries continue small. In Hemp and Flax, both here and
at St. Petersburgh, there is no alteration.
Hors.—The accounts from most of the Hop districts
are favourable, the bine having a healthy appearance, an 3
in some places polling has commenced. The duty remain'
at 125,000/. ; hut no betting has, we understand, yet bees,
indulged in. In the trade there is not any business of coo-
sequence doing, holders being anxious to ascertain the pro"
gress of the hives for a short time before they sell.
THE WOOL TRADE.—As it is not expected that the
Committee appointed by the Lords to inquire into the es-
pediency of affording additional protection to the Britieh
wool grower, will come to any report materially, if at Or
altering the present duties on the import of foreign woole,
little effect has been produced in the market to-day by the
discussion in Parliament last night on the subject. The
arrivals of Foreign Wools are not so extensive as of lets
The demand from the manufacturing districts is reported
very brisk. Although English Wools are in fair demand,
South Downs cannot obtain more than 9d. per pound-
English Merinos are quoted from Is. 2d. to Is. 4d. ; 1111
unwashed from Bd. to 9d. per pound. In galena,
Spanish Wools are lower.
