The Sun.
London, England, 1842-06-15 00:00:00

We announce, with sincere regret, the death of the Rev.
Thomas Ainold, D.D., Head Master of Rugby School, which
took place at Rugby, on Sunday morning last, after A few hours
illness, of a disease of the heart. Dr. Arnold, was well known
as one of the most distinguished writers and profound classic
scholars of the day. His edition of " Thucvdides," and his,
we fear, unfinished " History of Rome," are works which wilt
always hold a high place in our literature. Besides these, we
have his Sermons and Miscellaneous Works, and his recent pub-
lication of the lectures delivered by him at Oxford in his Capa-
city of Professor of Modern History in that University. But
it would be great injustice to Dr. Arnold's memory to speak of
Lint merely as a scholar and a historian. During the fifteen
ears he has been Master of Rugby School, he has not only
governed that institution with admirable ability and suc-
cess, but few men have done so much towards raising
the standard and the character of education itself in this
country. No man was ever more beloved by his pupils, or
by his numerous acquaintances ; nor has the death of any
given a more severe shock to his family and friends. Dr.
Arnold was remarkable for the uniform sweetness, the patience,
the forbearing me. kness, of his d sposition. He was an innate
istian ; the bad passions might almost be said to have been
omitted by nature in his constitution. But his truth and
honesty were unflinchingly regardless of his own interest, or of
temporary consequences : he followed truth with a rare single-
' liess of purpo4e and simplicity of heart. Dr. Arnold was at-
tached front principle to the Vt'htg party, and has been often
considered as very rear promotion to the episcopal bench; hut
that such was not his own wish we have the best meads of
knowing. The learned Docter had latterly devotedthe whole of his
time unOcctqiied by scholastic duties to his Lectures on Modern
History and to his History of Rotate, and was contemplating a
etirement, in the course of a few years, to his favourite re-
sidence at Fox-how, in Westmorland. lie had, we believe,
attained the age of fifty two, was born at Cowes, Isle of Wight,
-nd was the son of the late William Arnold, Esq., collee.tor
of her Majesty's Customs of that port. His education was
commenced at Winchester school, and from titmice went to
Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He was afterwards Fellow
of Oriel. Dr. Arnold married a (laughter of the late Rev.
Penrwe, and has left behind him a numerous family, to
whom, and to his many sincere friends, his premature death
will be felt as art irreparable loss.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
COLONIAL MARKET.
The demand for Produce was extremely limited, and p: ices
sery low, with a large quantity of almost every commodity
pressing for sale.
TEA MARKET,
Prices ra,her firmer, but the Trade purchases cautiously
in anticipation of large public sales in the course of a few days.
Coini any's Cougou l 811. to Is. Bid. per lb., cash.
TALLOW MARKET.
Holders of the large stock of old continue to ask high prices,
viz., 48s. 3d. on the spot, and 495. for delivery in the I,st three
months of the year ; but buyers still refrain from purchasing,
as much as possible.
WHITECHAPEL.
There was but a middling supply. Fine and middling qua-
Hiles met with ready sale. The ordinary heavy on hand. Of
New Hay we had but a small supply, which was readily dis•
posed of as under :—Clover, 21. 10s. to 51. 3s. ; Hay, 1/. 16s.
to 4i. ; ,\ew Hay, 3/. to 3/. 3s. ; Straw, 1/. 10s. to 11. 143.

(From the London New Price Current of June 14.)
SUGAR.—The demand for British Plantation Sugar has
flicreased since our last report, and both grocers and refiners
have purchased freely of all de:erptions, paying an advance of
6! to Is per cwt. To. day the quantity of W'est India Musco-
vadoes Sugar on show was small for the month of June, and
obtained prices 6d per cwt above those of Friday for all kind,.
A public sale of 150 hhds Barbadoes Sugar attracted a good
attendance of the tiade, and the whole found eager purchasers
at prices 6d, and in some cases Is per cwt. above those of the
last sale—fine yellow fetched 68s to 68s 6d, goad 66s to 67s 6d,
mid 63s 6d to 65s 6d, and low 62s 6d per cwt.
It NED.—To-day the demand was good for refined Sugar
for home consumption, and prices were firm ; Stsusdard lumps
fetched 83s, and patent brown lumps 81s 6d to 82s 6d per
owt. In bonded crushed Sugar several sales were made at
27s per cwt for first sort. In other articles there is no variation.
Ma IT KITIUs.—A brisk demand has prevailed for all descrip-
tiors since this day week, and prices have advanced Is to Is 6d
per cwt. To-day several purchases were made at prices fully
equal to those of Friday's sale, low yellow fetched 60s 6d to 61s,
mid 61s 6d to 6:35, good 63s 6d to 65s 6d per cat.
EAST INDIA.—'I his afternoon there was no public sale of
Bengal, hut privately several inquiries prevailed, and 6:is to
69s paid for mid to fine, and 65s to 65s 6d for common white ;
damp brown sorts were in request at 47s to 56s per cwt : of
fine sorts of the former the supply was scanty.
FOREIGN.—To-day buyers operated to a fair extent, and
1,400 boxes white Havannah and 200 boxes damaged yellow at
auction were all sold : the former went briskly Is above former
rates for the better, and 6d for common sorts—good strong
white fetched 28s to 295, mid 27s to "is 6d, and common 25s to
:265, the latter went at 16a to 178 for mid quality slightly da-
maged, and one lot low 15s 6d, being ratherabove the valuations.
ithir.s.ssEs.—West India have met with free purchasers, and
rather higher rates have been paid. Bengal Syrup has been
selling at IBs 6,1 to 235, but Foreign Molasses are still neg-
lected. Honey 25s to 66s fur low to fine quality.

on a more extended scale, and holders are firmer : 33s to 34s
for Para, and 35s to 36a for Guayaquil.
IlicE.—For Bengal Rice the market has been in a dull state
since last Tuesday ; prices accepted are rather under those of
this day week ; low white at Os to Os 3d, mid Os 6th to 10s,

28s. Patna at 14s to 19s per cwt.
This afternoon there was a better demand for Bengal Rice,
at 9s 6d to 10s for mid white, rather broken.
COFFEE.-1 he advanced rates established on Tuesday last
for British Plantation Coffee have been fully maintained, and
a good demand has existed.

This afternoon the home trade operated freely in Coffee sub-
ject to Gd per lb duty ; but in Cape sorts little business was
transacted either for home consumption or shipping, the deter-
mination of Government having produced much dulness in
the market for these sorts. The public sales consisted of
1,191 bags Ceylon, 22 casks 2 brls West India, 39 bales Mocha ;
Ceylon all sold at higher rates, making the advance on the
prices of the last auction of 4s per cwt, good ordinary went at
76s to 775, but chiefly at 76s Gd per cwt ; Jamaica fetched
1133 6,1 to 1153 for mid, being full rates ; Alocha sold at s-!3
f,,r good yellow, being cheaper ; for Cape Coffee prices are
uncertain.

~f free trade Tea. Holders have refrained from offering any
at public sale, and privately there has been a good demand
