A large amount of business has this morning, as well as
yesterday, been transacted in the commercial market, the
clearances under the new scale of duties (so far as at pre-
sent in operation) having been very considerable. Much in-
terest among the Sugar trade is taken as to the re-
sult of the sales of the Java sugar properly
certified as the produce of free labour, imported
by the Messrs. Thornton and West, as the values
realised must to a certain extent show how the cur-
rent of public feeling may go among those who may be
anxious to be purchasers hereafter.
There are accounts from the Mauritius this morning, but
they are not of any public importance. The state of the cir-
culation of the colony was a matter of serious consideration.
From the Cape of Good Hope we have advices to-day ra-
ther later in point of date than those before received. The
natives and the settlers cn the frontiers are said to have come
to an understanding.
In the Corn- market this morning business was very dull.
The amount of the failure alluded to on Monday, under this
lie.adt,is not yet accurately known.
intelligence of an important character was brought by
special express from LiverpOOrtscetile.llo of Commerce this
morning. According to this the United States Senate had
agreed upon the annexation of Texas, and there remains
only the assent of the President, which is expected to be
given, to give the vote the force of law. The date from New
York is the let inst.

On Wednesday Mr. Chapman held an inquest at
the Black Horse public-house, Canal-street, on the body
of Christopher, son of Thos. Jones, of 81, Carnl-street, a
boy aged eight years. The deceased, who slept in the front
parlour of thohouse, with his grandfather, had risen early
on Monday morning, and his parents having gone out,
he went to his grandfather to get a pipe of tobacco to
smoke. The tobacco was given him, and having lighted
it, he commenced puffing, and with the view to ape more
nearly those who had taught him the accomplishment, he
turned his back to the fire. While in this position his
pinafore caught fire, and his clothes were speedily in
flames. The grandfather having lost the use of one side
by paralysis, attempted to help him in vain, and at length
overpowered with smoke, sank upon the bed in a state
of insensibility. The smoke issued from the window
into the street, and this attracting attention, John
M'Kenna, of Mill-street, ventured into the room, and
saved the old man, but the body of the boy was found
upon the hearth reduced to a cinder.—Verdict, " Acci-
dent 11 death."—Manchester Times.

The Viscountess Campden was yesterday safely
delivered of a daughter, at her residence in Portman.
