COLONIAL.

SVOAR.-The market for British Plantation is with-
out animation, about 500 hhds having been sold at rather
easier prices. The public sales have only offered 2,451
bags Bengal, which chiefly found buyers at previous
rates, but being principally of mixed qualities and in small
lots, it affords little guide to the market generally. The
quantity of British Plantation imported into London
last year was 84,933 hhds 10,986 tierces, against 82,827
hhds 10,429 tierces in 1843. The home consumption
last year was 84,056 hhds 10,998 tierces, and in 1843
85,151 hhds 10,476 tierces. The importation of
Havunnah fell off last year, that of Mauritius increased, as
also of Bengal. The consumption of Mauritius was
larger, but of Bengal scarcely so great. The stock of
British Plantation, on the lit inst., at the port of Lon-
don, was 13,799 hhds 17,777 tierces, and at the corre-
sponding date of 1844, 13,416 hhds 2,056 tierces. The
stocks of nearly all other descriptions show an increase.
COFFEE.-The market has been very quiet. The
quantity of British Plantation landed at the port of Lon-
don last year was 5,735 hhds 6,177 barrels and bags,
being an increase on the previous year. The consump-
tion was 5,434 hhds and 3,461 barrels and bags, being
a falling off. The stock is 3,516 hhds 3,724 h =els and
bags, against 3,742 hhds 1,419 barrels and bags at this
time last year. The consumption of Foreign has in-
creased to some extent, and that of East India was
larger, but the quantity admitted at the 9d duty was
much lower. Stocks in general are larger.
Rum.-The quantity landed last year was 16,882 puns
3,932 hhds, against 20,896 puns 7,621 hhds at the'
same date in 1843. The stock on the Ist instant was!
12,572 puns 2,242 hhds. The consumption last year::
was 10,423 puns 2,584 hhds, against 10,951 puns, 3,009
hhds in 1843. The stock in January, 1844, was 15,365
puns 3,216 hhds.
TEA.-The market is steady, but the deliveries are
not yet so large as usual.
TALLOW.-P.Y.C. is rather dull at 408 to 40s 3d per
cwt on the spot, but Town has improved to 44s per cwt.

AN ODD very singular fish was caught
on Saturday last, at the oyster beds, near Cockenzie.
It has a long tapering tail resembling a snake, and is
about a foot and a half in length. The colour, when it
was alive, was a bright green, interlaced with a little
white. It has a long bill, terminating in a small mouth,
resembling that of a horse-leech; and a long narrow fin
appears on the ridge of the back towards the tail. This
animal, to which the fishermen give the name of the
tangle eel, is exceedingly rare on this coast----so much
so, indeed, that one of the fishermen, who is sixty years
of age, has waver seen another specimen.—Scetsman.
