CITY MARKETS.-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

StfcAft.—The stocks of Plantation Sugar continue to
increase, and yesterday there were in the West India
Docks 41,634 hbds. and 3,200 trcs. The deliveries la's
week were 3,600 hhds. of which 3,236 were for borne
consumption. The refiners and grocers are still out of
stock, and it is therefore thought that prices will improve,
as the consumption of Sugar at this season of the year I"
always considerable. There is a pretty full market this
morning, but as yet little appearance of business;
prices no alteration can be yet quoted. Foreign Sugar°
are stead; ; East India rather flat, there having been de
e'ared by the Hon. Company about 20,000 bags for mil°
on the 12th of next month,

Hors.—. The plantations in Mid-Kent are going on
more favourably. The accounts from other quarters are
had. The duty is 40,000/, and but little speculation.
Ons.—The market is lively both in exportation On
home consumption. The current prices are Greenland
261. 10s. ; Sperm, 64/. ; Pale Seal, 28/. per tun. Lin-
seed Oil, 281. ; Refined Rape, 41/. ; Ditto Brown, 39l
per cwt. Cod Oil, 26/. per tun.
The COFFEE market shows an inclination rather to give,
way. The business done this morning has been so small
that no fair criterion is yet afforded as to the prices.
Rum—This market is firm, and the state of the Bailer
crops is a subject of much conversation in the trade; the
stock however is very large, yesterday standing at 21,627
pun. and 1,683 hhds. In exportation there is more do-
ling, and about 700 pun. were delivered last week for the
Continental markets. For home consumption only 287
pun. were taken from the West India Docks.
Carrox—The little demand which existed at the Cot'
ton sales on Friday has thrown an additional gloom over
the market, and the purchases are very limited.
RUSSIAN PRODOCE.—TaIIow is 88s. per cwt. The
delivery last week was 938 casks, and the stock 4,900
casks. The commercial advices from St. Petersburgh to
the Ilth instant quote tallow there 10s. The purchases
since last post were small. Ships arrived from British
ports, 300 ; sailed, 149. Hemp and flax is steady.
In the TOBACCO market there is still little doing. The
demand for Ireland continues to decrease, and it is said
the growth of the Tobacco plant there this year will be
extensive.

The venerable Earl FITZWILLIAM, aCCOIII'
panied by Mr. Plencre, arrived at Sheffield on Thuesdaff
from Wentworth House, and we were pleased to And his
Lordship so far recovered from his late indisposition as to
be able to walk from the Tontine Inn to view the new
market houses he has lately caused to be erected on She('
field Moor. Though the Noble Earl appeared considerably
reduced, he walked very erect, resting upon the arm of
Mr. PIERCE; but he was evidently very feeble.—Shejleld.

ANECDOTE OF GEORGE BARR/NGTON0"""

A gentleman one night at the opera happened to find an • -
other gentleman's hand in his pocket. On this he turned
round to remonstrate, when the other, who was, in fact,
the celebrated BanaiNarox, after some unpleasant alter'
cation, coolly observed, "'Pon my honour, Sir, I took it
for my own." " But how came yogi to take my snot
box ?" " 'Pon my honour, Sir, I took it for my own. •
" That may be, but why, when I accused you of picking
my pocket, did you tweak my nose ?" "'l'on my honours
Sir, I took that for my own I"

feet in height, and containing fifty-three side branchesti

them exhibiting many hundreds of beautiful bell-shspeu
flowers.—Essex Herald, July 28.

The disputed Peerage which turns upon a*
most mysterions domestic affair in The Adventures of a
King's Page is now, it appears, a subject which is can'
vassed with some degree of warmth in certain -high cir-
cles, where it is contended as applying variously to the ,
D—v,a and R—x—a families. Referring
it to the first of these must assuredly be an error, for •
although it is true that the father of the King's Page spent
some time in Italy (which may have led to this misappli-
cation), the hero himself was not ushered into the world
there, but at Paris, during the frightful scenes of the French
Revolution.

withiel, where a severe contest took place—the lady poi;
tively refused to accompany her other half; he then age

luckily, the gentleman she eloped with had not suflicien
money to make the purchase, and she fell to the lot of a
man named PRILLirs, hostler to the inn.

An Inquest was held at the King's Head, in
Great Surrey-street, on the body of WILLIAM Sall.ol/:
a stable-man, in the employ of Mr. SMITH, the nnac'
proprietor, who was killed while cleaning one of the
horses. From the evidence it appeared, that on Fridi4 •
last, while the deceased was engaged in his master's 9ta,
bles, cleaning what is termed a " fidgetty" horse, in using
the curry-comb the animal became very restive, sod j,"
was with difficulty the deceased could approach to finis"
the job. During the time the deceased struck the horse!
slight blow on the hock with the back of the curry.ol
and at the moment the animal kicked with one of hi'
hinder legs, and struck the unfortunate man under the
left breast with such violence as to cause his death in let
than a quarter of an hour afterwards. On a post ,nod
tem examination of the body, it was found that the tenf
rib was broken, the ends of which penetrated the beer**
besides great injury to the spine. A deodand of bte
