few transactions in fresh foreign Wheat at Monday's prices,
all other sorts were dull. In other Grain little done, and Oats
were rather lower. Flour as last reported.

There was rather more activity in this market, and prices
were steady. About 400 hhds. of West India Sugar were dis-
posed of. The large public sale of Mauritius and Bengal went
off quietly, and firmly supported the previous value.

The market was dull, and prices merely nominal, at 48s. on
tho spot, and 495. to 495. 3d. for delivery in the last three
months of the year.

Upwards of 25,000 packages of Tea, chiefly Congou, are
declared for public sale on Wednesday next, in the inspection of
which the rade are now fully occupied; consequently the

SUGAR. —There has been an increased desire to the part of
importers of West India Muscovadoes Sugar to realize this

sustained, which shows a decline for the week of only Is per
cwt. The total purchases have been 1,800 hhds and tres.

Sugar has been limited for home consumption this week; the

for Refined Sugar for home consumption ; sales of Standard
Lumps were made at 80s 6d to 81s, and brown grocery at 80s

"AEXTII FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKINC:.—On Tues-
day last an inquest was held before Mr. Hudson, Coroner, at
the Clarendon Arms, Hyde, Cheshire, on view of the body of
Thomas Williams, aged 48, by trade a cotton- spinner, whose
death resulted from the following circumstances :—On Sun-
day
Knowles, when it was agreed that he should furnish deceased
evening deceased met with a person named Enoch
with as much liquor, and of what sort he chose, as he could
drink between the hours of eight and twelve, for a shilling. They
adjourned to the above public-house, when deceased called
for a pint of rum, which being supplied, he took hold of the
jug containing
it, to drink it up ; but was prevented by
Knowles, who gave him a glass of the liquor, and having sup-
plied two friends each with a glassful, the deceased took hold of
the jug, and before he was observed had drunk the whole of
the remaining portion of the rum. He shortly afterwards be-
came insensible, and although every attention was paid him by
a surgeon whe was called to his assistance, he expired early the
following morning, from congestion of the brain, produced by
drinking so excessive a quantity of ruin. A verdict to that
effect was returned. Enoch Knowles was taken into custody
to await the result of the inquest ; but was liberated at its close,
the jury being of opinion that it did notmmount to a case of
manslaughter.
