CITY MARKETS-TWO O'CLOCK.

SUGAR.—The delivery of Sugar from the West India
Ducks was rather limited, not exceeding 2,000 casks, and
as there were landed upwards of 44 Ude, the stock has
been increased to 13,831 hhds. and 1,100 trs. Fine goods re-
main in a pretty good request, although but little has been
done since Friday last, and this day there is not a single
public sale of any description of Sugar announced. Of
Mauritius Sugars the stock has been increased to 43,208
bags. The general stock of British plantation sugars is
expected to he very large at the close of the import season,
as the crop is a good one.
TOBACCO.—The demand for Tobacco remains inactive,
and until a further reduction in prices occurs, a revival is
not looked for, the quotations in foreign markets being
much lower than here. Since the late speculation on the
expected increase of the duty on stemmed Tobacco, the
market has been drooping, and prices may he quoted full
ld. to lid. lower. The speculators are indisposed to
submit to this loss, and hold in hopes of a better demand.
the arrivals of late have been a cargo of about 500 Wads.
of Virginia, and one of about 320 hhds. of Maryland.
COTTON.—As this day's advices from most of the ma-
nufacturing districts represent rather an improved de-
mand for cotton manufactures, the market has an ap-
pearance of some firmness, but prices cannot be quoted in
advance. There have been some pretty extensive orders
completed lately for continental markets, and more are in
the course of competition, Cotton goods being now so
low here as to afford a fair prospect of profit by sale
abroad.

Since last week there has been no alteration in the va-
lue of COFFEES.

Itum.-The market is again lower, sales of Leewards
having been made at a further reduction of Id. per gallon.
The stock is also increasing, and yesterday stood at 14,235
puns. and 1,325 hhds. The delivery last week was 895
puns., of which 553 were for exportation.
BALTIC PRODUCE.-The demand for Tallow is much
the same, but the delivery last week was very small, viz.
638 casks against 1,176 casks in the corresponding week
of last year. The price of Tallow is 38s. per cwt.
Imptco.-The East India Company's sale of Indigo
terminated this morning. Up to to-day 3896 chests had
passed the sale. The following are the averages of the
sale :-Bengal fine purple 9s. 6d. to 9s. Bd. per lb. ; pur-
ple and violet Bs. 9d. to 9s. 6d. ; middling good violet 7s.
to Bs. 3d. ; copper and violet, 6s. to '7s. ; consuming
qualities, 59. to 6s. 6d. ; Madras good, 51. to ss. 9d. ;
ordinary and middling, 2s. 2d. to 4s. 6d. ; Oude good,
4s. 6d. to ss. 61. ; ordinary and middling, 2s. to 4s.
The whole of the Company's goods were taxed very low,
as well as mostly all the licensed. Generally the sale went
off at a reduction of 3d. to 6d., and for some broken and
mixed lots, 9d. to Is. lower. About 400 chests were
bought in.

ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDENS.

PARISHES OF ST. GILES IN THE FIELDS, AND

ST. GEORGE'S BLOOMSBURY.

St. Giles's Church and its neighbourhood has
from an early hour this morning been the scene of
great bustle and agitation, owing to the election
taking place of two Churchwardens. Hitherto
the Vestry of this parish has been a Select Vestry,
and which has of late occasioned great discord
throughout the parish. Lord Tenterden, Lord
Chief Justice Best, Mr. Justice Bayley, Mr. Justice
Park, several Barristers, and others of great respec-
tability, are of the Select Vestry. _ _

Until the meeting to nominate the candidates took
place, it was not expected that more than four
would be brought forward ; and the excitement has
been much heightened by the circumstance of two
of those having been known to be in the Select
Vestry interest, and the other two hostile to it :
also from the circumstance of there not having been
a:contested election of this sort in the parish for a
great many years before.
CHARLES LUCAS BIRCH, Esq., Churchwarden,
took the Chair in the Vestry-room, at ten o'clock, to
receive the nominations. The candidates brought for-
ward said to be favourable to the continuance of aSelect
Vestry, were Richard Robinson, Esq. Great Queen-
street, by Mr. Bullock, and William Whitten, Esq.
Little Queen street, by a gentleman whose name we
could not hear; and those hostile to it were T.
Wakely, Esq., Bedford-square, by Mr. Waring, and
G. Rogers, Esq., High-street, by AIL Thatcher. These
nominations were respectively seconded by other gen-
tlemen, and each candidate zealously supported by his
friends, as being of the highest respectability, and best
qualified to fill the office. The two latter gentlemen,
were stated to be brought forward on public principles
(Mr. Wakely having declared that he was most un-
willing to take the office, and that he had never
entered the Vestry-room before this morning), and
as decided advocates to reform. Mr. Thomas War-
ing and Mr. William Thatcher, the ardent sup-
porters of Messrs. Wakely and Rogers, were after-
wards put in nomination by the parishioners most un-
expectedly to all present, and which created consi-
derable merriment throughout the immensely crowded
room.

Mr. BURTON, an old overseer and champion of
his colleagues, obtained a hearing to refute what he
considered same infamous charges which had been
brought against him and his associates. He ac-
knowledged that jobbing, peculation, robbery,
and plunder, had been committed on the pa-
rishioners and public purse of the Vestry.—(Loud
cheers.)--This he had on a former occasion declared;
but then this conduct was to be attributed to those
who had preceded the gentlemen who now filled the
Vestry. More honourable or upright men he could
not suppose could be selected to act in the Vestry
than those who now composed it. The charge that
Messrs. Robinson and Whitten were brought for=
ward by the Select Vestry, was entirely without
foundation. The overseers had been charged with
expending a guinea or thirty shillings on a din-
ner; but the public ought to be aware that
every farthing of this had come out of their own
private pockets. Fines were imposed upon the
overseers and members of the Vestry, for being be-
hind the period named in summonses at which they
were to meet, and this was the fund which had been
distributed in defraying the expenses of the country
trips and dinners of the overseers.--(Laughter.)
Mr. ROGERS said that no imputations had been
cast upon the overseers, but that certainly the
charge had been made against the Vestry of
doing that which Mr. Burton had acknowledged
they had been guilty of—namely, peculation,
plunder, jobbery, and robbery. He (Mr. Ro-
gers), could not understand what Mr. Burton
meant by the past and present members of the Se-
lect Vestry. He saw a gentleman standing at that
moment before him, who had been no less than 35
years a member of the Vestry; and when he 'saw,
even within the last two or three years, that the
Churchwarden had been employed to audit and ap-
prove the accounts of the parish, including their
own bills, and that to a very considerable amount,
as by their cash book was evident,and which he was
ready to support at any time in a Court of Justice,
he considered he had a right to ask why the pre-
sent Select Vestry were to be regarded as exone-
rated at the expence of what they pleased to call
their predecessors ?—(Great applause.)—There had
been no less than two hundred pounds taken out of
the poor rates of the parish, and paid into the hands
of a lawyer, for the purpose of defending the title of
the Select Vestry.—(Shame, shame.)
Mr. BURTON stepped forward anti declared this
was truth.—(Renewed cries of " Shame, shame,"
and great confusion.)
In the midst of this uproar, the Chairman declared
the Meeting adjourned to two o'clock, when the
polling was to commence.
Mr. WAKELY was loudly called for, and stepping
forward, demanded to be heard.—(lmmense con-
fusion, and cries of adjourn, adjourn, from one side
of the room, and of hear Mr. Wakely, hear Mr.
Wakely from the other.)
The CHAIRMAN with difficulty got his hat, and
proceeded to leave the room.
Mr. WAKELY declared that he could not give up
his right to be heard. He had never in the whole
course of his life seen a meeting conducted as this
}Hid been. Not a single question had been put from
the Chair to the meeting; no, not even the ques-
tion of adjournment. Surely the Chairman ought to
have asked if any other gentleman wished to address
the Meeting before he had declared it adjourned,
and attempted by that act to drive out those in at-
tendanci,. just as if they had been a herd of swine.
—(Roars of laughter, and cries of hear, hear.)—lt
had been stated that the office of Overseer was a
very important one; he should consider the duties
of Churchwarden as very simple, for he should
consider them as confined to the owing open of
the doors of the Vestry Room to the parishioners
at large.—(Loud applause, and cries of that is all
we want ; let us look at the accounts, and let us
hear of no more 2001. being abstracted.)
The Meeting then adjourned to two o'clock—
(amidst much confusion), at which time an im-
mense number cried out, Mr. Wakely shall be heard
in spite of the Chairman.

SINGULAR FACT.—The British brig Aurora,
on her passage from Liverpool to this port, picked up on
the 3d of Feb., off Alontserratt, three negro men in a boat
about 20 leagues from land. They appeared to be in a starv-
ing condition, but as they speak neither English, Spanish,
nor French, they have not been able to make themselves
understood. They appear to be named Weo, Ocon, and
Afeko. 'They are in charge of the Collector of this pert.

DESTRUCTION OF AN ANIERICANI'HEATRE.
—We have received by the ship Exchange, Mobile Papers
to the 4th instant inclusive. They confirm the fact of
the destruction of the theatre by fire. There was no in-
surance on the property, and the loss falls principally on
the Manager, Mr. LunLow, who was a principal stock.
holder. He has also lost his extensive and valuable ward-
robe. Several of the performers also lost their wardrobes.
—New York Advertiser, March 23.

We are glad to learn that a subscription has
been opened at Falmouth, for 36 widows and their 81
children, belonging to that port and vicinity, in conse-
quence of the loss of the Hearty, Redpole, and Arid,
gun-brig packets. The officers and crews consisted of
102 persons, and there were also nineteen passengers,—
viz. in the Hearty five, the Redpole eleven, and the Arid
two, 'some of whom have, no doubt, also left widows and
children to lament their loss.

JOURNEYMEN MASONS.---This class of
workmen, which we mentioned a few days ago as having
struck work fur an advance of wages, have, we are glad to
say, chiefly returned to their employment. The masters
have, we understand, agreed to make some advance, although
not toGlasgow Courier.

TATTERSALL'S.

The influential betting men being in attendance,at New-
market Craven Meeting, nothing worth recording was
done here yesterday afternoon. The accounts from the
scene of action, that neither Windfall nor Will-o'.the-
Wisp would start for the Riddlesworth, have made their
backers look very blue. They had both been backed to a
.Considerable amount. Canvas and Augusta have been in
'request at the Club Houses in St. James's for both Stabs.
No change of importance in either the Derby or Oaks.
Mr. Petre's Rowton is the favourite for the St. Leger at
