LONDON MARKETS.

(From the New London Price Current of yesterday.)
SLIGAR.-The Sugar Market remained in a very lan-
guid and depressed state all the last week; the sales were
estimated at 1,500 hhds. at prices about 3s. per cwt,
lower than the late highest state of the Market currency ;
brown Jamaicas sold at 625. ; Grenada 61s.

The stock is now 1,100 casks more than in 1826.
The deliveries last week were 1,200 casks less than the
corresponding one of last year : in consequence of this
change there was a complete stagnation in the Sugar
Market this morning.—At the close of the day the sales
were 800 casks, at the lowest prices of last week, making
a reduction of 4s. per cwt. from the late highest point of
the market. The landing of Sugar last year from this day
averages 6000 casks weekly for nine weeks ; the compara-
tive crop will therefore be soon put to the proof.
The Refined Market gave way considerably last week;
low Lumps were offered freely about 82s. ; Molasses 235.
The Refined Market was very brisk this afternoon,
prices 6d. to Is. higher; extensive sales of small Lumps
845., and low 83s.—Molasses brisk at 255.

The only purchase of Foreign Sugars last week was a
parcel of low to mid. white Bahia 41s. 6d. a 435., Which
was fully Is. lower than the former currency.
In East India Sugars no purchases were reported last
week.

TEA.-Twanicayg are this week in more demand at 11d.
to 2d. advance on the cost of the sale.—Low Congous are
offering at a little discount, without buyers.
COFFEE.—The public sales brought forward last week
were considerable. The price of every description of Coffee
were well supported, except the rank Jamaica, which sold
3s. a ss. lower on account of the quantity brought for-
ward, and the determined manner in which it was forced
off at whatever prices could be obtained.—The Havannah
and Brazil were expected to go off at a reduction, in con•
sequence of the decline in ord. Jamaica; but the former
sold (nearly 1,000 bags) at fair prices, good and line ;ordi-
nary at 445. a 465. ; good ord. Brazil at 435. ; goad Su-
matra 435. ; the good to fine mid. Jamaica 84s. a 86s.

There were five Public Sales of Coffee this forenoon, 626
casks and 1901 bags, the Foreign consisted of La Guayra
and Sumatra. The British Plantations chiefly J.--iaica
and Dominica. From the languid demand a fall in the
prices was generally anticipated. The whole went off
heavily, the mid. coloury British Plantation supported the
late prices ; all other qualities were heavy and rather lower,
good ord. Jamaica in parcels 435. a 465.
RUM, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.—The sales of Ruin
continue very considerable. The inferior descriptions of
Leewards are rather lower; proofs and two under sn9 at
2s. 2d. ; good quality two over 2s. 3d. Nearly 400
puncheons Jamaica sold fine, and a favourite mark 4s. Bd.;
several parcels at 4s. 2d. ; 28 to 32 over 3s. 10d. a 4s.
—Brandies are heavy on account of the quantity now laud-
ing ; the best marks now on the Quay offering at 3s. 4d.
—ln Geneva there is no alteration.

WINES.-Ports, superior, a 351. a 481. and 50/. ; ditto
second and third quality, 251. and 321. per pipe. Sherries,
superior, very pale and brown, 401. a 50/. ; ditto, second
quality, 28/. a 36/. per butt. Lisbon, finest 341. a 40/.
per pipe. Bucellas, ditto, 231. a 25/. per hogshead. Cape,
very fine 221. ; second quality, 15/. a 18/. per pipe.
PROVISIONS.—There is no alteration in Beef or Pork.
The arrivals of Bacon are unusually large at this season,
the imports last week being 3,221 bales. Of Butters,
5,362 Foreign, and 28,833 firkins Irish.
Hors.—The fine rains, and favourable weather, it is
stated, are bringing the burr finely into Hop ; the conse-
quence is, a rise in the estimated duty ; it is stated
105,0001. or 108,0001. There has been little business
done in old Hops ; but the speculation is rather against the
duty, on account of the picking being two weeks later than
usual, which, it is stated, is always an unfavourable cir-
cumstance for the crop.

FRUIT.--Fruit is becoming very scarce, and scarcely any
left in Importers! hands.—Currants sell at 91s. and 925. ;
Red Smyrna tk3s. ; and the latter now hold for higher
prices.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The demand for Tallow
rather increased last week, and it is now confidently stated
the stocks among the country dealers and the trade are very
low; 3,534 casks were last week delivered for home con-
sumption ; the imports are so extensive that little improve-
ment can be stated in the currency, yet the Market is more
firm. On Friday 319 casks saved from the wreck of the
Royal George from St. Petersburgh sold averaging
Ste. 9d. a 355. In Hemp or Flax there is little varia-
tion. The letters from St. Petersburg's are dated 4th
instant. Exchange 10 11-32 d money over. Tallow no-
minally 98, many buyers at 96 rubles.

SUMMER ASSIZES.

HOME CIRCUIT. —MAIL STONE, Auc. 20.

THE KING V. QUIIIAMPTON, COCK, SMITH, AND °RAYNER.
This was a prosecution instituted by the Admi-
ralty against the defendants, for obstructing some of
the officers of the Prc :-.,.ntive Service in the per-
formance of their duty.
The facts were substantially proved by Lieutc-
ants Hellard and Johnson, by Mr. Need, a master's
mate, Mr. Glasgow, a surgeon, and a great many
seamen, all belonging to the Preventive Service,
and all present at the transaction in question. It
did not, however, appear that any of the Officers or
seamen had been injured in the affray, or that any
serious impediment had been effected, except the
escape of one of the smugglers. Drayner was ac-
quitted ; and the other defendants were found guilty;
and having entered into recognizances in the sum of
1001. each to appear when called for, and to keep
the peace, were, after a suitable admonition from the
Learned Judge discharged.
