ST. PAUL'S CATnEnuAL.-7—Amongst, the recent im-
provements at St. Paul's Cathedral, a material one has
been effected at the north entrance, by the erection of
additional doors on the outside of the massive doors
under the portico. The addition has been made to
prevent the continual opening and shutting of the ori-
ginal, doors, which are exceedingly heavy, every time
a visitor required admission, when Divine service was
not being performed. The new doors are but a few
inches from the old ones ; they open outwards, and
close with a spring, and there are two panes of glass in
each door, so that the door-keeper may see the ap-
proach of persons desirous of being admitted.

CORN RETURNS,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Newport, Oct. 31, 1842.
SIR—An old subscriber to your paper would be
obliged if you would publish in The Sen at your ear-
liest convenience (if you can do it without putting
you to any expense), the average price of wheat, bar-
ley, and oats for about the last six or seven years ; he
thinks it would be very useful to other parties as well
as himself in the purchase of landed property, as the
average price of grain would be a guide. By doing
so you will confer an obligation on
Sir, yours truly,
AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.

[At the request of our Correspondent we give the
subjoined state of the averages for the last ten years,
according to a return made to Parliament by the In-
spector-General of Imports and Exports, previously
stating that the highest averages dur►ng the present
century were in the years 1800, 1801, 1810, 1812,
and 1813, when the prices of wheat were respectively
as follows :-113s. 10d., 119 s. &1., 106 s. 5d., 1265.6 d.,
109 s. 9d.]

THE MA RKETS.-(YESTERDAY.)

COLONIAL.

STJGAR.—The market for British Plantation is firm,
but only about 400 hhds have been sold at previous
rates. The public sales have contained 3,707 bags
Bengal, 2,152 bags Manilla, 619 chests 30 barrels Rio
(chiefly brown), 451 casks and 178 barrels Cuba
Muscovado. Nearly the whole of the Bengal found
buyers, but went off without spirit at 63s to 68s for
low to middling white, 57s to 62s 6d for middling to
good greyish yellow, and 48s 6d to 54s 6d fa. mid to
fine bright brown, being for the lower sorts in some
instances rather cheaper. All the foreign found buy-
ers : mid to good brown Manilla (but damp and heavy)
at 15s to 15s 6d ; a few lots, 16s to 16s 6d ; a small
portion very low to mid white Rio, at 18$ to 22s ; low
brown to., good yellow ditto, 14s 6d to 17s ; and good
brown to fine yellow Cuba Muscovado at 16s to 19s 6d,
being for the whole comparatively cheap ; the
latter description was all taken for refining in
bond, and the former for export. The quan-
tity of British Plantation landed last week at
the East and West India Docks was 1,709 hhds, 107
tierces, and 426 barrels. The stock of British Plan-
tation, in the port of London, is 21,620 hhds, 3,024
tierces, being rather more than but year. The stocks
of nearly all the other descriptions are also more
limited. The home consumption this year has gene-
rally increased, but the export in many instances ex-
hibits a decrease.
COFFEE.-108 casks British Plantation, 64 bags
Ceylon, 297 packages East India, 198 packages 67
casks Rio have been offered by auction , nearly the
whole of the former was taken in at 104 s to 105 s for
good and colory Berbice ; fine to fine fine ord Ceylon
sold at 65s to 82s 6d ; good and fine ord pale and
brown Manilla at 43s 6d to 48s ; and good ordi-
nary ungarbled Mocha at 555 to 60s. The whole
of the Rio (in chests) was taken in much above the
value, namely, at 48s to 58s for fine ordinary colory
quality, and one lot inferior at 425; those in bags
sold at 30s 6d to 33s for good ord mixed to fine ord,
which are about former rates. The import generally
is rather less than at this time last year, but we must
except foreign sorts. The consumption of East India
has increased, but that of British Plantation and Po-
reign shows a falling off, probably on account of the
ncreased consumption and the cheapness of Tea.
TEA.—The accounts by the Overland mail have
made the markets a little firmer, as prices at Macao
were rather higher. The stock here, however, is too
large to justify any marked rise.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East
and West India Docks was 1,396 puns 145 hhds.
The stock in puns exceeds that of last year, but in
hhds it is rather lower.
SPICES.-800 chests of Cassia Lignea (mouldy)
offered at auction all fbund buyers at 80s 6d to 89s
for mid to good mid quality, and broken at 77s to
795, which are comparatively fair prices.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 48s 3d to 48s 6d, and Town
51s 6d per cwt. For the spring P.Y.C. is 495. per cwt.
