CITY MARKETS—TWO O'CLOCK.
PLANTATION Sucass.—Yesterday this market was
opened (having been closed since Thursday last on account
of the holidays) with but a middling supply, when the
buyers purchased rather sparingly, partly in consequence
of the extensive sales of Mauritius Sugar, which are ad-
vertised, and partly in consequence of some of the impor-
ters having shown rather a disposition to effect sales; in
prices however at present very little alteration can be no-
ticed. A public sale of Barbadoes yesterday went off very
languidly, barely supporting the prices obtained at the sale
of last week.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—There has been nothing done this
week.

REFINED SUGARS.—There has been rather more in-
quiry for Lumps, but at very low prices, and some parcels
have been sold a shade under last week's quotations; in
the middling and better sorts there is still very little doing,
but there is no alteration in the quotations to notice.
COFFEE.—The public sales both of Plantation and
Foreign brought forward yesterday and to-day went off at
lower prices ; the former consisting chiefly of fine ordinary
to middling coloury Jamaica a ls. to 25., and the latter
(all Brazil good, to fine ordinary quality) a 1 s. to is. 6d. ;
altogether 356 casks Plantation and 1,050 bags Foreign
were offered.

Delivered last week from West India Docks, :237 casks, 427
bags, &c.

FRUIT. —There is no alteration to notice; the demand
continues very languid, both for home trade and export ;
for the latter, the accounts from abroad are very unfavour-
able.

SILIC.-Bengals are offered at the sale prices. Taysaam
and Tsatlee are unsaleable, at a reduction of five per cent.
on the last Company's sale prices. The stock is expected
to be much increased by further arrivals. The Company's
declaration for the next sale is expected out to-day. An
increase of business, both in the raw ant manufacturing
departments, is anticipated, new that the trade are aware of
the measures to be pursued by Parliament.
BALTIC PRODUCE.-Scarcely any thing is doing in
Tallow, which may be quoted at 38s. 3d. Hem;;and Flax
the same. Bristles : fine qualities in demand ; inferior
heavy.
OILS.-Sperm is very heavy at 741., and Greenland at
25/. 10s. per tun ; Pale Seal is at 29!. 10s. ; Linseed at
251. per tun ; Pale Rape at 4W. per tun.
RUIII.-The prices current of Rums today are these--
Leeward 2 to 3 per cent. over proof, 2s. 3d. ; ditto,
5 per cent., 2s. 4d. ; ditto, 6 to 10 per cent., 2s. sd. to
2s. 6d. Jamaica, 15 to 18 per cent, over proof, Ss. to
3s. 2d.; 20 to 24 per cent. ditto, 3s. 3d. to 3s. sd. ;
25 to 28 per cent. ditto, Ss. 6d. to 3s. 7d. ; 30 to
35 per cent. ditto, 3s. Bd. a 3s. 10d. to 4s. per gallon.
In-Brandies there is no variation.

Hors.—The market is more healthy, and prices im-
proving. The accounts from the plantations are rather
unfavourable, but no opinion can yet be formed as to
their future growth, every thing depending on the wea-
ther. New Kent Pockets 86s. to 90s. and 955. ; East
Kent Pockets 100 d. to 102 s. and 1265. ; New Sussex
Pockets 78s. to 845., and 86s. per cwt. Bags are much
in demand, the town brewers having taken their stocks.
SALTPETRE is in some demand, and sales are reported
at 255. 6d. per cwt. There are some export orders to be
completed. The East India Company's declaration for
the 12th of May has been increased to 400 tons.
11.1cE is heavy; East India may be quoted from 9s. to
17s. ; Carolina 31s. to 375. per cwt.

We omitted to state yesterday, that our re-

from the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Tuesday.

MATRIMONY.—A correspondent in Rut-
land informs ns that several couples from that interesting
county have been united in the " silken bonds" during
the past winter at a large parish in Leicester, in some in-
stances by stealth, (in the way in which Sculcoates, near
Hull, has long been celebrated,) and in others from the
gentility of the thing. But, alas for this midland Gretna
Green ! the business is closed. A couple presenting
themselves on Thursday 17th for the purpose were
compelled to return, re infecta, as they could not prove
that they actually resided in the parish ; to their no small
mortification. They submitted to the ceremony next
morning at their own bumble parish church.—Lincoln
Mercury.

RENCH COFFEE.—To make coffee pre-
cisely upon the French plan, it is necessary that the ber-
ries should be roasted rather higher than is usual in this
country, that they should be used within one week from
the time of roasting, and that they should only be re-
duced to powder an hour or so before preparing the beve-
rage. The powder is then to be placed in a coffee-pot, in
the proportion of half an ounce to every large cup of
water, which is to be poured in a boiling state upon the
coffee. The coffee-pot is then to be placed near the fire,
in such a way as to be kept a little under the boiling point,
so that the aroma may not be carried off, but sufficiently
hot to bring out all the strength of the coffee. It is usual
in France to keep it in this state for two hours, at the ex-
piration of which it is gently poured off into another cof-
fee-pot, and served up at table. Those persons who like
the flavour of the Chicoree powder add it in the propor-
tion of a tea-spoonful to an ounce of coffee.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Wednesday
night last, about half-past eleven o'clock, an operative
cotton spinner, about thirty years of age, proceeded to the
edge of the Infirmary pond Manchester, and stated to a
coachman who was standing on the flags that he intended
to drown himself. The coachma❑ thinking he was in jest
offered to assist hint in accomplishing his object, and ac-
tually helped him to get over the rail that surrounds the
pond. The man then leapt into the water, to the extreme
surprise of the coachman, whose energies were now di-
rected to getting him out. In this he did not at first suc-
ceed ; but some further assistance being obtained, the man
was at length got out after the lapse of a quarter of an
hour. He was by this time insensible; but on being
taken to the Infirmary, and means of resuscitation re-
sorted to, he was soon brought round.— York Chronicle.
