WOOL AC ICH.-FRIDAy.

The Athol troop-:hip, Mr. Faro, Master Commander,
came alongside the wharf wall at Woolwich Dockyard, yes-
terday, to take on board the bagzige of Captain Lake's
c •mpany of the sth battalion Royal Artillery, under orders
for Leith Fort, North Britain. The company was relieved
yesterday morning from field battery duty, by Captain
Flude's company, 7th battalion, and assembled at twelve
o'clock in heavy marching order, on the guard mounting
parade, with Brigade Major Cuppage's company, 9th batta-
lion, recently returned from Devonport, for the inspection of
Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H.,
Commandant of the Garrison. His Lordship, attended by
Major Armstrong, Acting Brigade-Major, Major Smith,

Capvt::in and Adjutant Ormsby, and Captain and Adjutant
Maclean inspected the men very minutely, and expressed
himself crighly pleased with their clean and soldierlike ap-
pearance. Captain Lake's company embarked at the Wool-
wich Dockyard, at one o'clock r.x. to-day, in the Athol
troop- tlip, for Leith.
Barretto, Junior, hired freight-chip, which left Woolwich
on the 28th of August last, with Major Anderson's company
• and Capt. Stanway's company, both of the Ist battalion of the
Royal Artillery, for Halifax, Nova Scotia, arrived at their
destination on the 28th September, and the vessel was ex-
pected to sail on the sth of October, on her return to head-
quarters at Woolwich with Major Lock's and Capt. Mee's
companies of the Bth battalion.
The Avon steam-vessel, Commander Denham, F.S.A.,
fitting here for service at the Bight of Benin and coast of
Africa, is not to be engaged in the pursuit and capture of
slave-vessels, although she is well armed, in case of being at-
tacked. Iler employment is to be entirely devoted to the
survey of a large portion of the coast of Africa, where so
many British steamers and ships of war are now employed
in putting down the slave trade at its principal sources.
The Avon being about to be employed on particularsurveying
service in a pact of the world in the great majority of cases
fatal to European constitutions, has been prepared for the
special service in which she is to be engaged, with every
care and precaution that the aid or art of man can suggest
for the convenience, comfort, and preservation of the health
of her officers and crew. She is fitted with iron water bulk-

heads between the engine-room. and the other parts of the
vessel, and around and in' the roofing of the deck cabins.
The cabins, and the parts of the vessel appropriated to the
cre,s- are supplied with prostrate and shower-baths, adapted
to there places, to afford ample opportunities of ablution to
•

promote health, and to add to the Comfort of the officers and
crew and relieve the sick. The meat safes are protected from
insects and high temperature by similar means. Eight

boats had been provided' for the Avon, two of which are
• whale-boats, and fitted as life-boats, and every one of the
eight boats fitted with awnings and Iledpath's cooking appa-
artus, with complete canteens down to the minutia; of salt-
spoons, for the comfort of ,detached parties, whether in the
boats or marquees they carry with them. The Lords of the
Admiralty have also been pleased to allow separate patent
galleys fur cooking the officers' and ships company's provi-
sions on deck, thereby diminishing the bulk of cooking
duties, and additional in the vessel, had the whole cooking
been perforated betwixt the decks. The peculiar
service on which the Avon is to be employed in
traversing the hitherto unexplored part of the Bight of Benin
induced Commander Denham to take every precaution for
the safety of the crew and vessel; and from the experience
he had obtained while engaged in surveying on the British
coast, he applied to their Lordships and obtained thirty-one
of Porter's anchors, of sorts adapted to the vessel and the
boats, and they have been tested and stowed, after being
separated into three parts, as ballast in the hold; and so sa-

tisfied does he feel of their value, that he has not taken, nor
will he take, any other description on board during his
voyage. She als,, carries a stock of Warlick's patent fuel,
which it is anticipated will stand the test of being stowed in
small compass, and not be affected by a high temperature.
One thousand tons of the same fuel proceeds by the Avon to
Accra for her especial use. On entering the private cabins
of this vessel this morning, they were as pure and sweet as
the best rooms of private residences could be, owing to the
windows being open all night, and merely protected by the
wire-gauze ventilators.
The Ardent steam-vessel, Commander J. Russell (b), ar-
rived at Woolwich yesterday evening from Ascension and
Portsmouth, all well. Lieutenant Charles R. Johnson, who
went out in the Eclair, but was transferred to the Ardent,
has returned in the latter vessel in excellent health.

The crew of the Growler are permitted to have commu-
nication with . the shore to receive necessaries and fresh
water, but not to go out at the gate, or mix with the per-
sons employed in the dockyard. No new cases have oc-
curred, or any symptoms tending to create alarm, yet every
precaution is very properly taken to prevent the chance of
danger. The two persons of the crew who had been ill
some time before the arrival of the vessel, but were con-
sidered convalescent, have bad a relapse, their constitu-
tions having been impaired when employed on the coast of
Africa.

SUGAIL—To-day West India Sugar was; Imrchwed with
caution fot all purpose,, and only 370 hhas. &c., were dis-
'posed of. but merchants for the most part rem ain lirm. Prices
closed much the same as on Friday last. middling and
geol y llo.ti, and strong relining qualities are decidedly not
cheaper. _ _

LEFINED.—To-day 64s to to 64s 6d werrs the rates taken
for brown grocery lump, and 65s to 6:is •titl cwt for
stattdard lumps, but at these rates several' purchases were
made by the home trade. Bonded Gushed. Sugar is oared
at 37s for first quality.
MAnumus—lmporters have been less in dined to realise
this week, and supply- the market sparingly., especially with
the bt tter descriptions; some packets have; ;been disposed of
privat ly upon former terms; at auction MS bags 6 casks
were sold very low, dark brown at 355, low ditto 36s 6d to
37s 6,1, good middling, yellow 51s, and Syrupy yellow 45s
to 46. s Cd per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—TiIiS afternoon white mkt yellow Bengal
Sugar was purchased with increas9d freeeiont, and full rates
were paid; for brown, however, prices deck zed is per cwt.
Aladras met with a good demand, and 2,102 bags were all sold
at full rates for yellow, but brown went is eb taper. For pub-
lic sale on Tuesday 5,000 bags of Bengal and 100 casks Cey-
lon Sugar are declared. •
FOREIGN.—The purchases made in yellow Havannah have
been extremely limited by private treaty, al though there are
sellers at rather lower xates, but any materis 1 decline is still
prevented by holders supplying the ma rket scantily •
large parcels, however, could only 'btu disposed of:
but at much lower rates. White and brown Brazil

have been purchased with caution by exporters,
and our refiners working under bond are r.ot inclined to ope-
rate, although there are sellers at a further reduction in prices.
Porto Rico is dull of sale, and Cuba Muscovado is offered at
23s 6d to 26s pet cwt ; still few buyers are :to be met with.
The stock of Foreign has been further inc reased, and the
tendency of prices is still downward for all descriptions.

offered, but business has been checked by :the stock being
principally in second hands. Bengal Treacle is wanted, and
line fetch 20s per cwt.
COCOA.—There has been a much better it.emand for West
India, and 467 bags 53 barrels of Trinidad at auction all
found purchasers at firm rates. 6 barrels Orenada, good red
42s per cwt; the chief part went at 40s to 45s for sound.
Foreign is wanted, but there is still little to. be had, and 41s
to 42s is the value of good and fine red Bahia.
COFFEE. —This afternoon the market was liberally supplied
with Ceylon Coffee, and former prices were suf tained. Mocha
met with little attention, and 213 bales half-bales at
auction were only in part sold, at easier prices.
TEA. —lmpixters of Green have been desirous to realise
this week, and submitted to reduced rates for all descriptions,
There has been a large quantity brought forward, far exceed-
ing the wants of the trade, who are not dFsposed to take
more than their immediate wants require, :notwithstanding
the me.erate rates that prevail. For Blit there has been
a falling off in the demand, and merchaens generally are
more inclined- to sell, on account of the recent heavy impor-
tations.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND& —For all dessripticns of
Jamaica Rum there has again been an exteusive demand, and
a farther advance in prices of Id per gallon Yeas taken place.
Demerara has been purchased with increased freedom, and
the prices paid 2d above those previously quoted. For
Leeward Island the demand has been lively , and prices must
be quoted ld higher; in all 453 puns have been disposed
of at 2s to 2s ld proof strength. Calcutta is wanted at is lld
to is llld proof without certificate, but the mewket is scantily
supplied. The stock of all descriptions of Rum is on the
decrease, and the deliveries keep large. In Brandy a good
business has been transacted. The arrivals of Geneva having
been large has caused a decline in the value of common export
sorts of 2d. British Corn Spirits 10e 2d per gdlon.
kinco.—To-day, during the progress of the sale, 435 chests
were withdrawn, and 927 chests have passe.l the sale. The
biddiogs continue very flat, and although proprietors con-
tinue to withdraw and buy in considerable: quantities, prices
rule from the last. sale's rates to 3d advance for Bengal, from
par to 2d for dry leaf Madras, and 2d to 3d for middling to
good burp .he, whilst the ordinary and low- 'kinds are chiefly
bought in under the July sales' valuations.
SPIOES.—The mat ket is still largely supplied with Jamaica
Ginger; prices continue to go down. Of East India an in-
creased quantity having been brought forward, a decline

in the value ...of 5s Co lOs has occurred. Prices have
been sustained for Black Pepper, and there has been a
larger business transacted. White has met with attention,
and 513 bags, at auction, sold at full rates. Cloves are held
for the previous value, nnd several parcels have been taken
privately. Mace is hss wanted, and the rates taken are rather
under those previously quoted. Nutmegs are in demand, and
the parcels disposed of privately were at rather high rates
Pimento has been much sought after, and buyers are com-
piled to pay Nei to 4d per lb by private treaty for low and
good quality. Cassia Lignea is want ed, and command stiffrates.
In Cinnamon little has been transacted. The quarterly sales
are fixed fur the 27th, a fair quantity will be offered, but it
will consist chiefly of the objectionable descriptions for which
the market has a very dull appearance, and prices rule ex-
ceedingly low.
RICE —Bengal is not to be purchased upon lower terms.
The value of Madras is lOs to 18s per ,cwt, and there are
several orders, but little to be had at present. An increased
demand has existed f Sago, and pines kaep on the rise.

arrivals; prices steady at 435, with a good demand.
