COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, Arc. 18.-The demand for British Plan-
tation Sugar continues limited ; the sales this week amount
to 500 hhds. only, at a reduction on the good scale quali-
ties of 6d. to le. per cwt., and of East India Sugar only
100 bags of good white Bengal have been sold at 765. 6d.
per cwt. duty paid. For 57 chests middling white Per-
nambuco Sugar 41s. per cwt. has been paid for exporta-
tion. 'West India Molasses are steady, and the stock is
very small. The Coffee market is dull; of 200 tierces
and barrels Jamaica and Demerara Coffee (mostly ordinary
and unclean) offered by auction on Thursday, scarcely
one-fourth found buyers, although the owners seemed
willing to submit to a reduction of 2s. to Be. per cwt.
for the ordinary qualities. In Cocoa, Ginger, and
Pimento, nothing done worthy of notice, and in Rum the
sales are limited, but the prices are steady.

Cotton this week, but without any improvement in the
prices; the sales amount to 14,770 bags, of which 4,000

WORDSWORTIL—In the summer of 1826, I
had the pleasure, when at the Lakes, to be introduced to
this gentleman; our party had walked from Arnbleside to
Rydal Mount to see him and the waterfalls, and though it
poured with rain the poet was so kind as to accompany us
to the latter. To those who have never seen him, it may
be interesting to learn that in person he is tall and slender,
his hair light, long, and strait, and I thought becoming
grey, but he is an elderly man ; his countenance is very
expressive, although in its expressions so varying tha':. I
could not rightly determine whether sadness, great gaiety
of disposition, or the mild plenitude of benevolence, was the
characteristic of his heart. The poet and his lady are
idolized by their neighbours, rich and poor. I had some
conversation with Mrs. Wordswoi th, and found in 1-,,r
primitive simplicity and unadulterated benevolence. Her
husband, herself, and their beautiful cottage ornee, strongly
reminded me of some of Cowper's happy portraitures of
patriarchal goodness, simple tastes, and elegant sylvan re-
tirement. I heard Mr. 'Wordsworth conversing with one
of our party upon the notoriety of public and literary cha-
racters. " Notoriety," said he, " is, after all, an intolerable
annoyance; we cannot even change our coats, but we shall
see it, perhaps, in the newspapers next day.".../Yeas Zits.
