shortly leaves this country for the coast of Africa; and it
would be a singular circumstance to alt but those who
have seen that gentleman, or perused his works, if our
of the interior of that mysterious continent was
to be first completed by the researches of a blind tourist..

were 800 casks, and for the week 3,500. The advance in
Refined Sugars at the close of last and the commencement
of this week has been fully maintained, and so extensive
have been the purchases, that few goods remain unsold :
the contracts for low goods, for delivery some weeks hence,
are considerable. Molasses are steady. This afternoon the
Market is rather heavy, but the prices are supported, and
goods scarce. In Foreign Sugars few purchases by private
contract are reported ; the prices are little varied. By

Havannah fine white 465., ord. 325., fine yellow 345. a
