THE MARKETS.

(From the New London Price Current of Tu esdal4
SUGAR—The demand for Muscovades last week.
was very limited, no reduction in the prices yrs%
however, submitted to; towards the close of the
Market there was rather more firmness on account
of the public sale of Mauritius Sugars having gone
off with more briskness and at an advance of is. per
cwt. The deliveries last week are rather unfavour•
able for the Sugar Market, they are 801 casks less
than the corresponding week of last year; the stock
is also accumulating, it is 726 casks more than in
1826. The Market for Muscovades continues closed
on account of the holidays. The Refined Market
gave way last week Gd. to ls. per cwt.,notwithstand"
ing the great scarcity of goods; Grocery descrir
tions were particularly heavy. Molasses were 6d.
lower. The Refined Market became exceedinglY
heavy this afternoon, on account of the unfavour-
able report of the Hamburgh and other great markets.
The Market otherwise was also very heavy. Mo-
lasses 245. In Foreign Sugars no alteration in the
prices could be stated.
COFFEE—The Coffee Market last week was a
shade lower in price. Some extensive sales of Bra-
zil took place from 435. 6d. up to 475. St. Domingo
was steady, 445. a 465.. and British Plantation was
dull of sale and rather lower. There were no Pub-
lie Sales of Coffee to-day, and up till n. late hour no
purchases by private contract were reported.
PROVISIONS—There is no business doing in Irish
Provisions, and no progress has been made in selling
the American,. the prices asked for the latter are,
according to the rumour of the market, rather high •
above 755. asked for the Beef,' equal to about .5.1.
12s. 6d. for Irish Mess Beef, and 7.55. is asked for
the Navy Pork, and 60s. for Cargo Pork. In Bacon
there is an advance. Butters are at nearly nominal
quotations.

COTTON—The sales of Cotton for the week end-
ing last night inclusive are about 700 bags; there is
no alteration in the prices. The holders of Cottos
look with much confidence 'at the immense con-
sumption evident from the weekly sales at Liver
pool, and also that the account from Manchester state
extensive sales of goods, though'at low prices ; they
anticipate a considerable revival in the Cotton trade•

".GLASGOW, APRIL 14.

KNARESBOROUGH, APRIL 12.--A consider-
able sensation was produced on Sunday afternoon; in this
place, from a report that something resembling gingerbread,
but containing poison, had been thrown about the Market-
place, and that some poor children had been gathering it.
About three o'clock the child of a weaver was taken se-
riously ill, but immediate surgical aid being administered,
this child is likely to recover. Two little girls, however,
of the name of Longthorne, the one five years old, and the
other three, died on Sunday night, after severe suffering ;
their stomachs were taken out and examined, and were
found to contain mineral poison. On Monday, an inqueEt
was taken by Mr. Shepley, the coroner, who returned a
verdict of-4‘ Died in consequence of poison picked up in
the market-place, in something resembling gingerbread,
but by whom left there unknown." It is supposed tbat
