RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.-There have been no
extensive sales of Rum; a few orders for shipping, but limited as
to extent, have been executed; there is no alteration in the cur-

there is no alteration.

TOBACCO.-There are considerable orders in town for To-
bacco, but they appear to be limited to prices below the present
currency, and cannot at present be executed.
COTTON.-The: Cotton Market continues dull, and as 'the
holders appear inclined to effect sales, a small reduction in prices
has been submitted to, which appears to facilitate sales to some
extent for export. The purchases for the week ending last night
inclusive, consist of 810 Bengal nid. a 41gtL, and 1,000 Surats

INDIGO.-The East India Company's sale of Indigo, which
commenced on the 14th inst., terminated this day; it contained
originally 4,040 chests, of which 455 chests Bengal and 97 chests
Madras, together 552 chests, were withdrawn. The quantity ac-
tually exposed to sale was 3,488 chests, which sold as follow

(ordinary to good mid.) 2s. 10d. a 4s. 6d. The sale commenced
with 1,689 chests belonging to the Company, which having been,
as usual, taxed considerably under their value, were all sold.
There was not much animation at the beginning of the sale, but
towards the conclusion there was more spirit, and better prices
were obtained. The proprietors have bought in a very trifling
quantity, and of this a great proportion consists of Madras. As
compared with the former sale, good and fine Bengal Indigo went
about 3d. per lb. lower, good mid. and mid. 6d. a Is. per lb., and
Consuming sorts about 3d. per lb. lower; good Oudes sold at a
reduction of about fid. per lb., and ordinary and low Oudes at
nearly the same prices as the last sale. Fine and good Madras
obtained about the former sale's prices ; and mid, and ord. Madras
went about fid. per lb. lower.

ST. LUKE, MIDDLESEX.

Yesterday the Annual Meeting of the Vestrymen
of this parish, for the appointment of Parish Officers
for the ensuing year, took place in the Church.
A paper which had been circulated about this
parish by Mr. Hulme, of Chiswell-street, was the
principal subject of discussion. In that paper Mr.
Huline stated that a delusion had been practised upon
the parish by the Overseers and Guardians of the
Poor, and the trustees for lighting:and watching the
parish, who had levied a rate of 3s, 4d. in the pound
upon the householders, and had also levied two
other rates of Is. 4d. each, for paving, watching, and
lighting, and subjected the inhabitants to great op-
pression by the manner in which that rate had been
collected.

Mr. HULME, who attended the Vestry, asserted
that those statements were true, and said that one
Board for watching, lighting, and paving, expended
10,000/. a-year, and another Board spent 30,0001.
a-year, for the maintenance of the poor. The ac-
count was never furnished to the parishioners.
Mr. RICHMOND said, that the assertions of Mr.
Hulme were totally without foundation. Every
explanation had been offered to Mr. Hulme, but he
had refused to accept it, and he had not been long
enough in the parish to entitle him to a printed
copy of the annual expenditure.
A considerable discossion then took place, after
which the Vestry proceeded to the election of seven-
teen members:to fill the vacancies which were on
the Guardian l3oard; and, after the Vestry Clerk
and other Officers were re-appointed, thanks were
voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated.
