WRITING MADE EAs y .—One hundred thousand
of the Smith-and-1)olier Copy -books have nom• been
issued to the public—a satisfactory proof of what is
thought of their merits. They are complete in six
numbers, (to be had together or separately, No. 1 to
3 for beginners, No. 4 to 6 for improvers,) price 6d.
each; and contain such numerous and progressive en-
gravings and directions, that by their use alone the
art of writing is learned in a few weeks, so that the
pen becomes available at once for grammar and other
exercises. • They may be ordered through any book-
seller in town or country.—London : Phelps, Simp-
/Ain, Sherwood, Orr.

COLONIAL.

SUGAE.—The market for British Plantation con-

inclusive of those by auction, and former prices were
scarcely supported. The public sales have contained
138 casks 166 barrels St. Lucia, 4,000 bags Bengal,.
423 hhds Porto Rico, and 81 baskets Java. The
greater part of the St. Lucia was sold, but went

good brown to fine greyish yellow, being in
some instances cheaper. Nearly the whole of the
