CITY MARKETS.

PLANTATION SUGARS.-The active demand which was
noticed in my last continues unabated, and rather increas-
ing, as the orders from the country dealers are pouring in,
they being rather anxious to get into Stock, having taken
alarm at the deficiency of the importation there is every
appearance of being this year ; the prices aze again Is. per
cwt. higher, and some of the importers feel so confident of
a much further advance that they will not.even show then,
satrapies. The manner in which Government is acting
With respect to East India and Foreign, gives much im-
portance to the present state of the market; an order
from the Treasury is hourly expected at the Custom-house
to allow the Grocers to clear home East India Sugars at
the duty 295., on the same terms as the Refiners, viz, to
export a proportionate quantity of Refined ; this has created
a very great bustle, and the Sugars at the East India Com-
pany's Sale yesterday in consequence went off briskly at an
advance of 3s. on their former sale ; to-day they have de-
clared another sale of 16,000 bags.
Delivered last week from West India Docks, 3,944 hhds.
322 trs.

Stock on hand in West India Docks (on the 2d instant),
22,008 hhds. 2,609 trs.

Stick on hand in West India Docks (on 4th July, 1826),
26,412 hhds. 3,236 trs.

FORZIGN SUGARS.—OnIy one house appears to have any
Brazils for sale at present; they, however, are bringing
them forward freely, and making extensive sales still upon
the same terms as to the exporter, leaving to the buyers
the responsibility of paying the duty, which remains still
in doubt on the white qualities, none having yet been paid
upon. An order, explanatory of the duties to be collected,
was expected at the Custom-house, but has not yet arrived.
Notwithstanding, the Refiners are large buyers ; one lot fine
whites has been sold for export 465. per cwt. ; white Ha-
vannahs are held for 48s. ; there are not many here at
present.

REFINED SUGARS.--The great advance which has
taken place on the descriptions of the raw material fit for
the pans, being so much in disproportion to that on re-
fined goods, has induced several of the refiners to slacken
their work. The demand has been extensive this week,
and the advanced quotations quoted realised, the grocers
being the principal purchasers, speculating upon the low
goods. for exportation, to cover the quantity of East India,
upon which they pay duty, under the new regulation. The
shippers have done nothing in the low descriptions, but
have turned their attention to the fine qualities, of which
they have been considerable purchasers. In Crashed one
or two extensive contracts have been made this week.

COFFEE yesterday and to-day by public sale went off with
considerable spirit; at an advance of Is. to 2s. per cwt. on
the coloury descriptions of Plantation, of which 738 casks
and 159 bags, principally Jamaica and Dominica, have
been sold. In Foreign Coffee also an advance has been
obtained, good ordinary St. Domingo to-day bringing 445.
6d. and ordinary 435. ; good ordinary Brazil 445.
Delivered last week from West India Docks, casks 730;
bags, &c. 1497.

Stock on hand in West India Docks, on 2d inst., casks
11,452 ; bags, &c., 73,894.
Stock on hand in West India Docks, on 4th July, 1826,
casks, 13,197; bags, &c., 80,188.
FRUIT.-But little alteration can be noticed this week ;
about 100 butts Ctirrants have arrived from Trieste, but
are not yet landed ; a parcel of Red Smyrna Raisins re-
cently arrived has been divided among the trade at 50s.

At Cheltenham, 3500 copies of the Rev. Mr.
CLOSE'S sermon on the evil consequences of at-
tending the Races, have been sold, and a third
edition is contemplated.-- Worcester Journal.

IMPORTANT TO UNMARRIED LADIES.—
Matrimony, it would appear, is getting into dis-
repute, since, during the last week, there has not
been solemnized one single marriage, by license,
at that favourite temple of hymen—the Collegiate
Church.—Manchester Herald.

LONG SUTTON, JULY 4.—The new organ
erected in the parish church of this place was
opened on Sunday for divine service. The Rev.
Thos. Leigh Bennett, who is sole proprietor of
the tithes of the parish, with its hamlets, &c.,
preached on the occasion from suitable words in
the 7th and Bth verses of the 57th Psalm. The
congregation (which, considering the unfavour-
able state of the weather, was large) were highly
gratified, both with the tone of the instrument
and the talent displayed by Mr. Mather, the or-
ganist of St. Bride's, London, who presided on
the
occasion. The very spirited way in which
the inhabitants have repaired and beautified their
church
was also a cause of admiration. Its neat-
ness and cleanliness reflect the highest credit on
all concerned. It is a singular coincidence that
the donor who left land for the support of an or-
gan and organist, and the builder of the present
living upwards of two centuries
Wigan, though
apart, should both bear the name of Allen.-
4tamf9rd Mercury.
