CITY MARKETS.

PLANTATION SUQARs.—A good deal of business has
been done to-day at fall prices, but still the market ap-
pears rather languid, notwithstanding the 'deficiency in
stock is now about 6,000 hhds. ; about 1,000 bhds, have
been sold to-day.
REFINED SUGARS.---At the close of last week, there
was some very extensive business done for the Hamburgh
market ; also in the middling description of goods for
crashing, some very large contracts having been made,
supposed to be upon speculation.

_ .
Comm.—The public sales of Plantation this morning
have gone off with rather more spirit, and full prices have
been given.

The Right Hon. CHARLES WYNN and
Family, left Whitehall-place, yesterday, for Llaudgewin,
Denbighshire.

THE WIDOW OF CHARLES JAMES FOIL-
This lady is still alive. At the annual juvenile fete, given
by Mr. W. H. WHITBREAD, jun. last week, at his seat in
Bedfordshire, she was present among the visitors, and was
an object of much curiosity.

Sir HARCOURT LEES has been, for the last
ten days, at Hawick, in Roxburghshire, shooting on the
moors in that neighbourhood.

The Prizes of the Caledonian Horticultural
Society were awarded last week. ♦fter business, the
Society dined in the Waterloo Tavern. The Edinburgh
Papers contain a report of the speeches ; but they are as
utterly destitute of the least interest or information as the
late melancholy exhibition of the Ifighland Society here.
It is a pity that the Members of Societies, whose aim is
the spreading of knowledge, should have nothing useful to
say when they meet.

A letter has just been received at our police-
office from Manchester, stating that a person, answering
the description of the supposed murderer of Gregson, is in
custody. Gregson's son is gene off to Manchester to iden-
tify him.—Preston Pilot.

At Uckfield, on the last fair day there, six
persons (four of one family) dined together, whose united
ages amuuntel to 460 years. The oldest of this elderly
and healthy circle is 84, and it is a fact that in early life
he possessed a spirit of economy that enabled him to save
oue hundred pounds during the time he was in the service
of a farmer, at the yearly wages of thirty shillings.—Lewes
Paper.

The following fact proves the nutritious quali-
ties of beef:--Humphries, the pugilist, was trained by
Ripahaw, the keeper of the gaol at Ipswich. He was
sweated in bed, and afterwards twice physicked. He was
weighed once a day, and at first fed on beef ; bat as on
that food he got too much flesh, they were obliged to change
it to mutton.—Sincluir's Code of Health.

The extension of the Exeter ship canal, being
on the eve of completion, will be opened in due form by
the Mayor and Corporation on Friday next. It is six
miles in length, and when the basin opposite the quay is
finished, vessels from 13 to 14 feet draught will be enabled
to come up to the city. The whole of the hands employed
on the canal works will be immediately transferred to the
basin, and with the aid of a powerful steam-engine, the ex-
cavation of the basin will proceed rapidly. The laudable
and patriotic spirit in which this undertaking has been car-
ried on by the Corporation will be most beneficial to the
city of Exeter and surrounding districts,, and will entitle
them to the lasting gratitude of the community. On the
evening of Friday, when the opening of the sea-gates will
afford an uninterrupted access to the ocean, the Navigation
Committee, with a party of select friends, will dine at
Street's Royal Hotel. The _Despatch, Captain Barrett,
with a cargo of wine from Charente, will have the honour
of first entering the canal.--Exeter Gazette.

A MAD Ass.—A few days ago, Mr. Wil-
liam Rapier, of Birkby, his wife and brother, were
&flocked uear IludderstlelZt

which seined the back part of the lady's dress in his
mouth: he was instantly knocked down by Mr. Rayner,
with a large stone, who repeated his blows, aided by his
brother, till the ass appeared to be dying. They then
dragged him down a steep bank, and left him in strong
convulsions. They bad not proceeded far, hoWever, when
the ass was again on his legs, and in pursuit of the party,
who, to save themselves, leaped over a wall, which they
had scarcely done when he arrived, and attempted to scale
the wall, but was knocked down by a stone, and soon after
expired. Since his death it has been ascertained that be
had been bitten by a dog in several parts of his body, and
is supposed to have become rabid under the canine infes-
tion.— York Herald.

Three blackguards yesterday attempted to
separate a bullock from a drove, for the purpose of driving
the animal through Whitechapel, but they were taken into
custody, and conveyed before the Magistrates at Lambeth-
street Office, who fined them 20s. each.

At Lambeth-street Police-office, yesterday,
twenty-three of the lower order of Irish, both male and
female, were charged with violently assaulting and beating
four watchmen, stationed in the neighbourhood of Rose-
mary-lane. It appeared that the assailants having an old
grudge against the watchmen, decoyed them into a narrow
alley, by shouting "Murder," and then laid on them with
pokers, broom handles, and missiles of every description.
They were ordered to find good bail for their appearance
at the Sessions.

CEMENT TO RESIST FIRE AND WATER.—
Take half a pint of milk, and mix with an equal
quantity of vinegar, so as to coagulate the milk ;
separate the curds from the whey, and mix the
latter with the whites of four or five eggs, after
beating them well up ; the mixture of these two
substances being complete, add sifted quick
lime, and make the whole into the consistency
of putty. If this be applied carefully (and
properly dried) to broken bodies or fissures of
any kind, it resists fire and water.—Mechanics'
Magazine.

CURE FOR TILE 1 ooTif-AcHE.—At a re-
cent meeting of the London Medical Society,
Dr. Blake stated that the extraction or excision
of teeth was unnecessary. He was enabled, he
said, to cure the most desperate cases of tooth-
ache, unless the disease was connected with
rrletmeteundyattisomth,
ebydist
diseased
sed applicationtooth _of followinghe
Alum,
reduced
to an impalpable powder, 2 drachms; nitrous
spirits of (ether, 7 drachms ; and mix and apply
them to the tooth."

ARABIAN NOTIONS OF THE ENGLISH.—
Soon after our arrival at Muscat we were visited
by men of all nations and colours. I was prin.:
cipally attracted by the appearance and manners
of some Arabs from the interior, who were
brought on board by their countrymen to see an
English ship of war. Their figures were light
and elastic, their countenances expressed quick-
ness and energy. The most remarkable of their
features were their dark rolling eyes, which per-
haps struck me more from their wandering rapidly
from one object to another, glistening with won-
der at all they saw. A good telescope happened
to be placed so as to give a complete view of one
of the farthest fortifications. I called an Arab
to look through it, and lie did so for about a
minute, then gazed with the most eager atten-
tion at me, and, without saying a word, dashed
over the ship's side. When the boat he was in
got to a little distance, he exclaimed, " You are
magicians, and I now see how vou take towns ;
that thing, (pointing to the telescope), be they
ever so far off, brings them as near as you like.
We were much amused with his simplicity, but
no arguments could prevail on him to return
and receive such a lesson on optics as might dis-
pel his delusions in supposing_us to be adepts m
the black art.—Sketclies of Persia.
