SUGAR.—The-market fOrTritishPl;ntation is very inactive,
not 100 hhds. having found buyers; but, as holders remain
extremely firm, no alteration can be quoted in value. The
public sales have contained chiefly 660 bags Bengal, and
619 bags and baskets Penang (subject to 14s duty),
which sold at fully previous rates. The quantity of British
Plantation last week at the East and West India Docks was
524 hhds, 164 tierces, 238 barrels, and there were taken for
home consumption, 1,700 hhds, 156 tierces, 328 barrels.
The stock in the same places is 10,535 hhds, 1,473 tierces,
1,876 barrels.
COFFER.-3,305 bags Ceylon found ready buyers at 48s to
50s for common mixed good ord to very good ord quality, but
chiefly at 48s 6d to 49s 6d, which is again 6d to is dearer.

West India Docks was 499 puns 20 hhds. There were taken

kind), and Malabar 24d to 3d for good bright black Sumatra,
sifted, being for the former description fully an Ad lower,
but for the latter about previous rates. The Cassia was all
taken in (excepting a few lots) at 54s to 67s Gd for ord coarse
to good quality, partly 21'o bundles, there being no purchasers
within 2s to 3s of the former value.

KONIGSBUROR, Nov. 13.—The Colonization Company
assembled to-day, as it usually does on Thursday, to
deliberate on the settlement on the Mosquito shore. The
President was invited by apace inspector, who produced
an order of the police to delay the meeting till the statis-
tics which was drawn up some time ago should be sanc-
tioned by the superior authorities, on which the company
quietly separated.
HANOVER, Nov. Ig.—The King has been indisposed,
and kept his bed for four days, but is now quite reco-
vered, and has been out in his carriage. The tender
affection of his Majesty for his little grandson is a gene-
ral subject of conversation, and numerous anecdotes are
related of it. Thus his Majesty lately gave him a set of
six beautiful cream-coloured horses, from the royal
mews, with which the infant Prince, only seven weeks
old, is driven out every day.
COLOGNE, Nov. 17.—The Cologne Gazette publishes
the very long address dated the 13th of July, this year,
which a number of Berlin manufacturers submitted to
the King, to obtain an extension of the system of pro-
tective duties. The following is the complete answer to
this address, and is likewise published in the Co'ogne
Gazette :
"By his Majesty's order I have to inform you, in answer
to the address of the 18th of last month, respecting an
extension of the system of protective duties, that indeed
—as you might have been convinced—the interest
of the national industry will find from his Majesty's Go-
vernment every attention consistent, with the general
good, but that to attain this object there is no need of
such collective representation, which trangresses the
prescribed regulations of petitions, and are therefore
highly displeasing to his Majesty.
In the absence of the Minister of Finance,
(aligned) " KUHNER.

DEATH OF LADY RAVENSWORTH.—We regret to
announce the death of this lady, which took place on Satur -
day last, at Ravensworth Castle. At her death her Ladyship
was surrounded by several members of the family circle,
most of whom had been summoned to Ravensworth upon the
first intimation of their noble relative's dangerous condition.
Her Ladyship was the daughter of. John Simpson, Esq., of
Bradley, in the county of Durham,bY Lady Anne Lyon, aunt
t• the Earl of Strathmore. She was married to the present
Lord Ravensworth on the 27th of April, 1796, the result of
the union being a family of eight sans. and eight daughters,
fourteen of whom survive her Ladyship. By Lady Ravens-
worth's death, a very numerous circle of the aristocracy are
placed in mourning. Among the principal familes may be
mentioned those of the Marquis of Normanby, the Earl of
Strathmore, the Earl. of Hardwicke, Viscount Barrington,
Lord Bloomfield, the Earl of Clanwilliam, the Earl of Morn-
ington, Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart., &c. Her Ladyship
was in her 73d year.
FUNERAL OF LADY HOLLAND.—The remains of the
late Dowager Lady Holland were removed yesterday morn-
ing at nine o'clock, from her late residence in Stanhope-street
for interment in the family vault, Ampthill, Bedfordshire.
The funeral was as private as the rank of the deceased would
admit—consisting only of a hearse drawn by four horses, and
several mourning coaches.
The Grand Duke of Modena is shortly expected to
arrive at Vienna. The visit of his Imperial Plighness to the
Austrian capital, it is asserted, is to renew the negotiations
relative to the long-spoken-of matrimonial alliance of the
Duke de Bordeaux and one of the Princesses of Modena.
The Duchess de Berri came expressly to Vienna on the 7th
instant, in order personally to invite the members of the Im-
perial Family to the marriage festivities of her daughter
Mademoiselle, and the hereditary Prince of Lucca. The
Duchess, after dining at the Imperial Palace, left the same
evening on her return to Frohsdorf. Mr. Waghorn's project
to expedite, for the future, the Indian mail via Trieste and
Germany, has given much satisfaction to the mercantile com-
munity in the Austrian capital.. An agent from the Lord
High Commissioner cf the lonian Islands has recently been
at Vienna, and had frequent communications with the autho-
rities on that subject.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—OXFORD, MONDAY.
—This morning a fatal accident occurred on the Great!Western
Railway, at the Abingdon-road station, under the following
circumstances young woman, named Fanny Gosling, re-
siding in this city, started by the mail-train, at half-past ten
o'clock, to pay a visit to her mother at Clifton, which is a
short distance from the Abingdon-road station. On arriving
at the latter place, instead of proceeding at once to Clifton,
she attempted to cross the line, for the purpose, it is sup-
posed, of seeing some of her old acquaintances, who resided
at the tavern on the other side of the road. While she wx3
standing on the platform the mail-train, which had brought
bit. from Oxford, passed by her, and no doubt thinking
that the line was quite clear, she stepped on it, but the mo-
ment that she had put her hand on the second line of rail,
the fast down-train, which she could not have seen coming,
came in contact with her, when she was knocked down by it,
and killed instantaneously. Her feet were severed from her
ankles, and her body otherwise much mutilated. Several
persons witnessed the accident, and endeavoured by calling
out to make her aware of the great danger she was in, but to
no purpose; the poor woman seemed quite paralyzed. The
police-officer on duty, at the risk of his life, made an attempt
to lay hold of her, but before he could do this, the train
had knocked her down. The unfortunate occurrence was
purely accidental, and not the slightest blame attaches to the
engineer, or any one else.
We are gratified to learn that the accounts re-
ceived from Upton House yesterday, as to the state of the
Viscountess Villiers's health are of a more satisfactory cha-
racter. Her Ladyship is stated to be much better, and, the
crisis of the disease having passed, her medical attendants
consider that their noble patient is going on favourably.
