CITY MARKETS.-TWO O'CLOCK.

SUGAR.—The delivery of Plantation sugars last week
from the West India Ducks was very limited, not exceed-
ing 1,600 hlids. and 120 tees; and although the arrivals
are small, the comparative stock' is about 3,000 casks
greater than at this season last year. Yesterday the stock
in the West India Docks was 17,534 hhds. and 1,200
trees. Mauritius Sugars are not freely taken off the mar-
ket, and prices are heavy. There has of late been more
activity in Foreign Sugars. Davannah has realized from
455. to 475. ; good white Refined goads rather dull.
There is a disposition to do business in Sugars this morn-
ing by the trade and the refiners, were a slight reduction
submitted to. Brown Jamaica may be quoted 525. to
545. ; fine ditto, 655. to 70s. ; Brazil white, 31s. to 335. ;
brown, 18s. to els. ; Mauritius good brown, 495. to 51s. ;
fine, 535. to 545. per cwt.
COMM.-There is very little doing in Plantation Cof-
fees, the holders not being desirous of selling at reduced
prices. The large sale at Rotterdam, which we under-
stand went off briskly, is likely to produce a corresponding
interest here. Middling Jamaica may he quoted from
70s. to 71s. 6d. ; fine ordinary, 60s. to 625. 6il.

Rum.—The Government contract for Rum has been
opened. It is for 150,000 gallons, to be taken on the
13th hist. It has bad, however, no effect upon the mar-
ket, which continues flat, at previous prices. The deli-
very front the West India Ducks, last week, was upwards
of 450 puncheons, and 70 bhds., chiefly for home con-
sumption. The stock 16,781 puncheons, and 1262 lihd3.

Red Clover Seed may be quoted from 455. a 60r. to 665.
Trefoil, 12s. a 30s. to 425. and Ribgrass, from I4s. a
Els. to 31s. per cwt.
Toulcco.—The trade has again Settled, it being now
fully understood that no alterations are to be made in the
duties on stemmed. For Maryland Tohacco there is some
enquiry, the article-heiug scarce both here and on the Con-
tinent. It is full 6,-td. to 6d. per pound. Virginia from
3;ld. to 4d.
THE Fen TRADE.-The very extensive. sale by the
Hudson's Bay Company last week, estimated to produce
150,0001., is to be followed by another to-morrow, nearly
equal in amount, there being upwards of 330,000 Furs to
be sold. The sale last week went off very briskly ; some
silver fox skins realized very high prices, viz. from 101. to
18/. per skin. The trade in Furs appears to be very
active.

BAurtc PRODUCE.—The delivery of Tallow last week
was rather mote extensive, exceeding 1,700 casks; the
price is rather higher, 395. Gd. to 399. 9d. ; Bristles
tine qualities command a ready sale; inferior sorts heavy.

siderable advance lately, amounting we are inforni«l to

been active.

an Episcopal Clergyman, who has lately made himself very
conspicuous in getting up anti-Catholic petitions. lie
called upon a farmer, and requested his signature, which
he declined, saying, that he did not understand the subject,
and persisted in having nothing to do with it. After his
Reverence had exhausted all his eloquence, he told the
farmer, that if emancipation were granted he would have
double tithe's to pay, upon hearing which he immediately
signed his name; this is one Of the petitions presented by
Lord Eldon.— Times.
