PRICE OF SUGAR.
EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY.

LONDON, SEPT. 23, 1842.

The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of
Brown or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub-
lished in the Gazette of this evening :
s. d.
West India 36 81 per cwt.
East India 39 41
Mauritius 35 84
The total average price of the three descriptions is
375. 3d. per cwt.
The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of the
importers, in the week sending the 20th inst., accord-
ing to the returns made upon oath by the Sugar bro-
kers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and
on which weights the above prices are computed, con.
sisted of 23,038 cwt. West India, of 6,010 cwt. East
India, and 5,651 cwt. Mauritius.
Foreign Brown or Muscovado Sugars may be bought
at from 13s. to 17s. per cwt. ; the quality which as-
similates to the average quality of West India Sugar
is worth 16s. 6d. per cwt.
We have endeavoured to teach the West Indians
how—by underselling them—they might drive out of
the British markets all slave labour sugar ; it can,
however, hardly be expected, that they will avail
themselves of instruction tendered for their welfare,
unless they are compelled to bestir themselves by the
Government admitting foreign sugars to a free and
fair competition with theirs fbr home consumption.
There is, it must be confessed, a degreeof consistency,
though it be of a pernicious tendency, in the sayings
and doings of these monopolists. They predicted all
manner of evils from the manumission of the blacks,
and, Sever since that event, they have strenuously ex-
erted themselves to verify their ill-boding predictions.
In a word they have so egregiously mismanaged
their affairs, that the countries attributing their diffi-
culties to emancipation, have maintained the system
of slavery, and even hesitate now to follow the
humane example set them by Great Britain. For in-
flicting this mischief, the consumers of sugar in the
United States, are compelled by law, to reward them,
by pay:ig them an additional 20s. per cwt. for that
article—this is turning the other cheek to be slapped
with a vengeance.

SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening an in-
quest was held at the Crown publi-house, Mile-end-
road, upon the body of a girl, named Martha Doyle,
aged 11 years. It appeared by the evidence that the
deceased had been left at home by her mother, who
was an artificial flower maker, during her absence
with some goods, which the po,or woman was endea-
vouring to sell in the streets; and a younger sister
having accidentally set fire to her clothes whilst play-
ing with some lucifer matches, : the deceased, in her
endeavours to extinguish the flames, set fire to her
gown. The poor child, after freeing her sister from
danger, in her alarm, rushed into the passage, where
the current of air caused the whole of her dress to
become one body of flame before it could be extin-
guished by the neighbours.. She was removed as
speedily as possible to. the London Hospital, where
she lingered for four days, when death put a period to
her sufferings. Verdict—Accidental death.
