GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.—This after-
noon the Commissioners of the Victualling Board were en-

quantity of Ruin advertised to be contracted for was
100,000 gallons, which, in addition to the contracts taken
within the last two months, makes a total of 250,000
gallons required for the use of the navy, or 50,000 gallons
more than contracted for last Autumn. There were seve-
ral tenders sent in for the ruin. The contract prices of
this article, as well as of Sugar, have not yet publicly
' transpired; but we are given to understand that the Rum
and Sugar is to be delivered into his Majesty's stores at
within a mere fraction of those at which the last contracts
were taken. The last contract for Ruin was at Is. 91d.

has taken both the contracts for Rum and Sugar to-day.
