COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 19.-There continues a good
demand for British Plantation Sugar for the home
trade; the sales amount to 650. hhds. at rather
better prices, and bad the market been better sup-
plied, more business would have been done. No-
thing done in East India or Foreign Sugar. Of
West India Molasses, 30 puns. only of very good
Demerara have been sold at 295. 6d. per cwt. Our
market for Plantation Coffee is more lively : yester-
day 100 ices. and 40 brls. Jamaica, brought forward
by auction, consisting chiefly of clean ordinary to
fine ordinary qualities, went off readily at a little im-
provement on last week's prices. Foreign Coffee,
Cocoa, Ginger, and Pimento, remain dull. Rum
steady, but not much doing.
There has been a fair demand for Cotton through..
out the week, but the prices of Boweds have given
way about id. per lb. from our last quotations, and
the late imports of the new crop are dull of sale,
even at this reduction. We make no alteration in
other descriptions. About 2,000 American have
been taken on speculation. The sales consist of
&?,39 rowed at sd. to bid. (30 at 7d.)
1340 Orleans 2.t bid. to Bd.
1720 Alabama and Mobile at qd. to 6d.

all that was offering has been taken ; in some in-
stances at an advance of I/, to g per ton on our
previous quotations for solid Wood : the sales
consist of 250 tons solid at 13/. 10s. to 151., and 65
tons good small at 8/. 15s. per ton. Camwood sells
in small lots at 141. and Gaboon Barwood at 81. per

LIVERPOOL.--A female laid her infant on
the ground, and precipitated herself into George's Dock
Basin; being seen, she was soon extricated from her pe-
rilous situation, and taken into a boat, whence she struggled
to throw herself in again, saying she would certainly
drown herself, for she could not live with her husband.
Athletic sports have this decided advantage
over sedentary ones—that while the one invigorates the
other enervates both mind and body. As a proof of this,
there is no better preservation against gaming than hunting.
The fatigue and excitement attending a good day's sport
with a pack of fox-hounds oblige a man to retire to rest
betimes, and render him indifferent to cards or dice. It
has been observed, too, that most Battieres are gamblers.
DOVER, JAN. 18.—A Dutch dogger went to
Pieces on the Goodwin Sands last night, and every soul
perished. A Dover man, named, HammN, who had
been on board but a few minutes to endeavour to get her
off, was amongst the sufferers. The Lord Folkestone
packet, SALMON master, was on shore between the Stone
and Pier Heads during the whole of last night ; the cargo
consisting of paper from London, was discharged; and
about eleven o'clock, owing to the exertions of some hun-
dreds of persons, she was got off without much damage.

We are authorized to state that the paragraph
copied from another journal into our paper of Saturday,
respecting the Deccan prize-money, is incorect. We believe
we shall be able in a day or two to give an exact state-
went Times. N.B. We copied the paragraph from
the Times, and shall be happy to make the correction when
the opportunity is afforded.

INNES AGAINST SIR COUTTS TROTTER,
BART., BANXER•-_An action so described has just been
tried in Edinburgh. It was brought by the representa-
tives of Mr. Itorzs against the executors of the Earl of
PETERBOROUGH, for loss sustained by the reduction of a
lease. The pursuer's schedule on damages consisted of
three articles-Ist, The value of an annuity equivalent to
the surplus rent from the term of removal. 2d, The va-
lue of the woods. 3d, The expence of defending the ac-
tion of reduction. The verdict of the Jury was, for the '
pursuer, value of 4urplus rents 65,000/. ; woods, 19,000/. ;
expence of reduction, 1,500/.; total 76,500/. ; being the
largest amount of damages ever given by a Scotch Jury.
On Saturday last, a young child was burned
to death in the village of Rusliton.—Afacclesfield Courier.

An accident took place at Logierait on Satur-
day morning last, by the explosion of gunpowder. CIIAS.
ROBERTSON, grocer there, had been attempting to kindle a
fire by means of gunpowder, and in throwing a portion of
it among the embers the flames communicated with the
vessel in which a considerable quantity of that inflammable
substance was contained. The shock which followed was
dreadful, and speedily called all the inhabitants of the
village to the spot. Although there were six individuals
in the room when the accident took place, fortunately no
lives wereioat.—Perth Courier.

The piercing cold which prevailed here in the
beginning of the week, was succeeded on Wednesday even-
ing by snow, which continued to fall during the night, and
heavily as yesterday morning advanced. The ground was
covered to a very considerable depth, and the progress of
the mail so much retarded, as to be two hours past the
usual time pf arrival. At mid-day thaw commenced. 'We
may calculate, however, on the communication with die-
taut parts being still impeded by the heaviness of the roads,
and the non-arrival of the London mail at night, which has'
now occurred several times in succession, is likciy to pre-
vail two or three days longer.— Greenock Advertiser.
A snow storm
,commenced on Monday, and
has since continued with little intermission. All the
coaches arrived nearly in due time last night, with the ex-
ception of the South Mail, which was at least three hours
behind time, arriving after three o'clock in the morning.
This did not arise, however, from any interruption by the
snow. Being about half tide at Quecnsferry, the guard and
passengers had to take an open boat, which was driven on
a sand bank about 200 yards from the shore, where they
had to abide the pelting of the storm for nearly three hours.
This morning the coach& from this place to Edinburgh,
found it impossible to proceed beyond Damhead, about 14
miles to the southward of Perth. .One of them returned
to-day a little after noon--the other stuck fast in the snow.
....Perth Courier.

Haat, brother-in-law of the Duke of WELLINGTON, is re-
ported to succeed to the vacant Episcopal See at Killaloe.
Dean Dual-COWES, of Cork, Dean PONSONBY, Archdeacon
TORRENS, the Hon. the Dean of CLocxxx, are also talked
of as likely to succeed to the See of Killaloe, vacant by the
death of Dr. ARBUTHNOT. —Dublin Warder.
Yesterday the Parish Church of St. Magnus
and St. Margaret, near London-bridge, was re-opened for
divine service, baring, since the late lire in that neighbour-
hood, undergone some necessary repairs.
A sermon was preached yesterday at Woburn
Chapel, Tavistock-place, Russell-square, by the Rev.
RICHARD VALPY, Head Master of Reading School, in aid
of the funds of the Royal Humane Society.
NoRWICH, JAN. 19.—0 n Wednesday even-
ing the annual ball was given here, under most fashionable
auspices, at Chapel Old House. There were upwards of

STAFFORD, the Hon, 311.. and Miss JEaraNciaAm, and
most of the principal nobility and gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.

MUSICAL PUN..-TOM COOKE was asked
the other day, I
wilt: ed was the cheapest shop for the put..
chase of musical instruments. " Why, an apothecary's,
obviously," replied he, " for, if you send for six-penny-
worth of medicine, you are sure to get a phial-in" (violin).
NAPOLEON being in the gallery of the Louvre
one day, attended hyßaron.Dxworr, turned round suddenly
from a fine picture, which he bad viewed for some time in
silence, and said to him--" That is a noble picture, DENON."
" Immortal," was DENON's reply. " How long," in-
quired Navoi.xos, " will this picture last ?" Ihriorr an-
swered, that, " with care, and in a proper situation, it
might last, perhaps, five hundred years," "And how
long," said NAPOLEON, " will a statue last ?" Perhaps,"
replied DENON, " five thousand years." " And this," re-
turned NAPOLEON, sharply, " this you call immortality !"
