Of Milch Cows, which were tolerably numerous, there
were scarcely any buyers ; the few that were sold produced
about last week's price?.

CITY MARKETS—(TWO O'CLOCK.)
PLANTATION SUGAIIS.—This Market has been rather
flat this week, and there has been less business done, but
prices are firmly maintained, particularly of the good and
fine sorts, which continue in demand fur the grocery trade,
and are taken off more steadily than other sorts; a parcel
of St. Lucia (317 hhds.) was offered by public sale to-day,
consisting chiefly of low to fair brown and grey qualities,
which brought very full prices, end rather mole than the
general valuations: 5,267 bags Mauritius Sugar of the
low brown to middling yellow descriptions, were sold on
Tuesday by public sale at steady prices.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—The sales this week have been con-
fined to a few lots of Yellow Havannahs, which brought
full prices.
REFINED SUGARS. —There has been a great deal of
business done quietly this week in the low to middling de-
scription of lumps for packing 'at 735. to 745. 6d., and
there are now scarcely any remaining on hand ready, and
offers are being made for delivery a fortnight and three
weeks hence; in the better descriptions of lumps and
loaves there is less doing, and prices in proportion rate
much cheaper than lower qualities ; the Grocers purchase
rather sparingly : in crashed there has not been much clone.
COFFEE this week has gone off more briskly, and an ad-
vance of about 2s. has been given for the Plantation
offered by public sale, which consisted of 45S casks and
188 bags, chiefly Jamaica. A parcel of rather ordinal),
Brazil on Tuesday was bought in at 335. 6d. It was re-
ported on 'Change that a parcel of pale St. Domingo had
been sold to-day at 335., which was rather more than could
have hitherto been obtained.

FItUIT.-Nothing of sufficient consequence to notice has
taken place this week.
RUM.—The Commissioners of the Victualling Board
have issued a notice for the contract last week of 50,000
gallons of West India Rum, making a total supply, for tha
use of the navy, of 150,000 gallons, and is less by 100,000
gallons than was required at this period last year, when
250,000 gallons were contracted for. The I{wn market
has received a fresh impulse from this notice, and prices
are improving. Jamaica and Leeward Island may be
quoted ld. per gallon higher. The demand is brisk for
exportation and home consumption.
INnino.—The demand for the last two or three days
has revived for inferior qualities, lower prices having
been submitted to. The Company's sale has been further
increased by the declaration of upwards of 1,200 chests.
SlLKS.—lirutin (Turkey) Raw Silks have experienced
a slight improvement, and Singles are at from 10s. to 10e.
6d. per lb. In East India Silks there is little doing, this
usually being a dull season. Best Bergam Raw are from
18s. to 19s. ; Trents and Fruitis 15s. to I6s. 6d. ; Ber-
g= thrown, first, 265. to 265. 6d ; seconds, 245. 6d. to
255. English thrown Italian Organzine, fine, 245.
6d. to 255. The quantity of licensed Silk at next Com-
pany's sale is expected to be great. Of Company's Bengal
2,300 bales are declared.

Hors.—The duty is now called 34,0001. ; prices firm,
at the late advance.
In the COTTON. Market the transactions entered into
are on a limited scale.

(Ms.—Common Oils are rising, there being an export
e.emind. Sperm is 0731., Greenland 291., Pale Seed,
29/. 10s. per tun. There are no accounts yet from the
fisheries.

WooLs.—The trade is flat. By public sale, New South
Wales sold 3id. to 9d., Odessa is. to 2s. 2d., German
Is. 2d. to is. sd. per lb. They were all low wools.
The TALLOW Market is heavy, at from 375. 9d. to
38s. per cwt.

The Duke of CLARENCE left his residence in
Bushy Park, on Tuesday, on a visit to Lord HOLLAND, at
his seat in Ampthill-park, Bedfordshire. His Royal High-
ness took his departure from Ampthill yesterday morning,
and came to town, and in the afternoon proceeded to Bushy.
Princess LIEVEN, Princess ESTERHAZY,
Princess MARY ESTERHAZY, the Prussian Minister, and
Sir CHARLES and Lady INCLIOFF, had interviews with
the Duchess of CUMBERLAND, yesterday, at her residence
in the King's Palace, St. James's —ln the evening the
Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND honoured the per-
formances at the Haymarket theatre with their presence.
The American Minister had also a long inter-
view with the Noble Earl yesterday.
Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD left town yesterday
for Ireland.

The Princess SOPHIA Of GLOUCESTER, with
her lady in waiting, paid an unostentatious visit to Shore-
ham a few days back, and entered the fine old church
thei e ; on leaving to return to Worthing, the Princess be-
stowed a donation in aid of the improvements going on.
The visit of her Royal Highness was so private that the
good people of the town were scarcely acquainted with it
until after it had occurred. The Princess left her carriage
before she reached the church, at the entrance of which
she met a gentleman and his lady, Mr. and Mrs. Hooveß,
whom a desire to view the interior had also brought there,
and who, unacquainted with her rank, showed her Royal
Highness every polite civility. An accidental circumstance,
however, revealed the quality of their new acquaintance,
and apologies followed. Her Royal Highness, in a con-
descending manner, shook bands with both, professing
herself delighted with what had occurred, especially with
the attention paid to her, while her high station in life
was entirely unknown.
TIIE MALE SEX.—The settlement of the
genders of things is whimsically capricious. The neuter,
the law of grammar, is very impatiently borne by the vul-
gar; and we may observe that in the range of their technical
vocabulary they generally set it aside, and substitute the
masculine. Workmen give to their tools, &c. the pro-
nouns, he, him, and his. Aquatic vessels have been
dubbed feminine by sailors, perhaps caosa honoris—or
possibly by the rule of opposites, because they are priva-
tive of female society. The sun is a gentleman, and the
moon a lady, lay classical prescription rather than any
consistency with the laws of propriety, considering that
she walks by night. But the oddest and newest arrange-
ment of genders is now before us. In a letter published
in the newspapers, describing a late storm in Scotland,
we perceive that the mail is made feminine :—" On the
road from Creiff to Perth, the mail was frequently inter-
rupted by large trees being blown down across the road,
which had to be cut asunder and removed before she could
proceed."— Spectator.
Wild Boy, his MAJESTY'S favourite white rid-
ing horse, died lately at the King's-mews, under very cu-
rious circumstances. The noble animal was suddenly
attacked, apparently without any cause, with all the
usual symptoms of inflammation of the bowels. A con-
sultation of eminent veterinary surgeons was held, and
the remedies which have on several occasions been
employed in the Royal stud with marked success were had
recourse to. The disease, however, gained ground, and
his MAJESTY, whose knowledge of the anatomy of the
horse is well known, expressed his belief that something
more than mere inflammation was the cause of the rapid
illness. Sir H. HALFORD coincided in his opinion, and
Mr. GOD\VYNE, veterinary surgeon to the KING, sus-
pected that the complaint was an intussusception—
that is, the passage of one portion of the bowel within
the other, by which its canal becomes obstructed, and a
fatal inflammation induced. The patient lived only 20
hours from the commencement of the attack—and, on
dissection, the opinion formed of its nature was found to
be strictly correct. His MAJESTY, .with his usual consi-
deration for the veterinary science, ordered an eminent
artist to take a cast of the diseased portion, which, with
the bowel itself, have been deposited in the Royal Veteri-
nary Museum.-11forning Paper.
