His Majesty the King of Hanover has forwarded
100 L and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
501., to the Richmond savings bank, in aid of the
subscription to make up the deficiency in the funds
occasioned- by- the embezzlement and forgery of the
secretary, Captain Belstcad.
We are sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Harris
the wife of the Rev. Dr. Harris, President of Ches-
hunt College, and author of the well-known prize essay
uri " Mammon." . Her death followed confinement of
a daughter on Monday last. •

MARKET NEWS.
-CORN-EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
We have had very moderate arrivals of English
Wheat since Monday, and the stands here to-day were
in consequence scantily supplied with samples ; still,
howover, as the attendance of buyers was very scanty,
the demand for that article was inactive, without the
slightest alteration in prices. Only about 3,000 quar-
ters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand this week.
For the best parcels we had rather more inquiry, but
without any improvement in the quotations. Barley
'and Malt were again very dull, and the rates had a
downward tendency. In Oats, Beans, Peas, and
Flour, next to nothing was doing.

We had on sale here to-day a full average number
of Beasts, the timo of year considered, while its gene-
ral quality was very superior. The primest Scots,
Devons, and Herefords, for Christmas consumption,
sold freely at Monday's. quotations ; but the
middling and inferior descriptions commanded
little attention. From Spain we received 11 beasts,
and from Scotland, 179 horned and polled Scots. The
number of Sheep was fully adequate to meet the
wants of the dealers, yet late rates were supported.
Calves, though rather numerous, sold freely, at im
proved currencies. In Pigs a fair amount of business
was done. Mitch Cows sold slowly, at from 15l to
19/ each. including their small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP IMOILIEET.
During the whole of the present week, the demand
for the best Kent bags has ruled firm, at full rates of
currency; but otherwise, the trade has proved dull,
with a large supply of Hops on offer. East Kent in
pockets, 5/ lOs to 6/ 10s ; Mid Kents ditto, 51 5s to
61; ditto in bags, 4/ lOs to Si ss; Sussex, 41 lOs to

COMONZAZ.
SUGAR.—OnIy a very limited business continues to
be (Line in British Plantation, at about the prices of
last week. The transactions only amount to about
1,000 hhds, inclusive of 100 hhds Barbadoes brought
to auction, which mostly sold at 60s to 69s for low
to very fine quality. Molasses.-200 puns Bengal
offered in public sale were all taken in at 26s for fair
quality, but afterwards chiefly sold at 255, being about
the comparative value. There has been scarcely any
demand privately for West India.
MAnarrtus.-375 bags brought to auction (chiefly
of the new crop) sold at ,i3s, 68s for good to very
fine strong yellow, and low to:goiid brown at 45s to
51s Gd, which is rather cheaper, but being so small a
quantity, it affords very little criterion of the market
generally. t,
BENGAL.—The public sales have been very exten-
sive, amounting to 11,000 bags (nearly one .half con-
sisting of brown Khaur), wilth went off very
heavily, but about two-thirds were disposed of
at and after the sale at a farther decline, in most
instances, of fully Is; low to very fine white brought
51s to 68s Gd, mid to fine greyish yellow, 5.5 s to 60s,
and low to fine brown 43s to 545. Privately some
parcels (Dhobah) have been sold at about correspond-
ing rates. For Foreign there has been scarcely any
inquiry, for any description for exports, but for Re-
fining in bond there has been a partial demand, and
extreme prices have been obtained. 100 chests of soft
brown and yellow Bahia (of old importation) sold at •
18s, and 1,200 bags low to mid brown Manilla at 17s.
2,350 bags Manilla all found buyers (chiefly for re-
fining in bond) at 18s Gd to 20s for fine to
good greyish yellow, -being comparatively cheap.
Crushed continues in good demand, and an advance
of fully 6€l has been obtained ; fine quality having been
sold at 26s Gd, and at this price. there are further pur-
chasers. Grocery descriptions remain only in limited
demand; although rather lower prices have. been ac-
cepted.
CoFrxE.-207 casks, 98 barrels British Plantation,'
chiefly Berbice, 2,351 bags Ceylon, and 32 hales Mo-
cha, have been offered, which mostly sold at 89s Gd
to 102 s for mid to good mid Berbice, 8-1 s 6d to 95s
6d for fine ord pale to mid colory Ceylon, British
Plantation. kind, good ord pale to fine ord, colory
brownish ditto,. 61s to 625, and mid to good mid clean
.garbled Mocha at 71s to 80s, being for the
latter description, and the Berbice fully •2s
to 3s lower, but other sorts can only be quoted is
to is 6d lower. There has been scarcely any demand
privately for any description admissible for home eon-
sumption. A large parcel, consisting of about 3,500.
bags fine ord coloury Singapore Java has been sold at
355, being a further decline of fully Is. Foreign sorts
remain neglected and almost without inquiry; 575 bags
Brazil and St. Domingo, and 455 bags Sumatra, the
former sold at 31s Gd to 32s 6d, but mostly at 325,
for good ord quality ; good to fine ord Rio at 31s to
33s ; and 24s Gd to 25s for good ord brown Sumatra,
and one lot ord at 23s 6d, all of which are pre-
vious prices.
CocoA.--7Six hundred and forty-three brls and bags
Trinidad, and 394 bags Para, most sold—the former
at 29s 6d to 33s for ord grey to good mid red, and
the latter at 30s for fair quality.
Rust.—No transactions have taken place worth re-
porting.
RICE.-3,163 bags Java, 1,940 bags Bengal, and
1,000 bags Madras, have been offered ; nearly all the
former parcels found buyers at and after the sale at
lOs to lls for ord to mid Java, and 11s Gd to 12s for
mid to good white Bengal, being rather dearer. The
Madras was all taken in at lOs 6d to lls for mid to
good quality. Privately, only a limited business has
been done.

SALTPETRE.-585 bags sold at 27s to 27s 6d for 11
refraction, and one lot unrefracted at 255, which prices
establish a further decline of 6d to Is. Some parcels
have been sold privately at corresponding rates.
Nitrate of Soda is likewise difficult of sale, and rather
lower.

SPICES.—The public sales have offered 926 bags
Pepper, 179 bags Pimento, and 134 chests Cassia Lig-
nea, the former consisted chiefly of Sumatra, which
mostly sold at 2id, to 2141 d for mid to good black, and
mid to good Pimento at 2-gd to 214. Only a portion of
the Cassia found buyers at 81s to 86s for mid to good
mid quality; good ord coarse was taken in at 70s,
which prices must be quoted 2s to 3s lower, more
particularly for the mid and inferior sorts. Privately
1,000 bags good Penang Pepper have been disposed of
at 2id.
COTTON.—The demand has now almost entirely
subsided, and for the small quantity sold, a decline of
id has in some instances been accepted. 288 bales
Surat, 53 bales West India, and 243 bales Savanilla have
been brought to auction, the former sold at 3id to 4d
for ord to mid quality, 51d to 62d for fair West India,
and 31d to aid for fair Savanilla, but specky, which
are likewise rather lower prices.
TALLOW—P. Y. C. is 48s 3d per cwt on the spot.
The Tea sale passed off very heavily, the trade
buying unwillingly; 1,500 packages sold out of
15,000 offered; Congou at a reduction of ld to lid,
other kinds lid t• 2d.
