COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3.—Suoaß.—The grocers have
shown more disposition to purchase British Planta-
tion this week, and all descriptions have brought
stiffer prices, but particularly middling and good
scale qualities. The sales amount to 1,000 casks.
The stock in the importers' hands on the Ist instant
is estimated at 6,100 casks against 8,300 at the same
period last year, and as the quantity to be received
from Demerara, which is the only quarter from
whence any further supplies can be drawn this year,
will scarcely exceed 2,000 casks, there is every pro.
spect of a gradual improvement in prices, especially
since the London supply exhibits so heavy a defi-
ciency. East India is rather more saleable, the trade
having taken 1,000 bags of white Bengal at about
former rates.

MOLASSES have found buyers to the extent of 500
puns.—namely, 200 Demerara (to arrive), at 305.,
and 300 on the spot, from the ship's side, at 30s.
to 305.6 d.

Rum supports the previous currency, but the tran-
sactions have been limited.

COFFEE.—At a public sale of 100 tcs. of Jamaica,
on Monday, tolerably steady prices were obtained
for the descriptions suitable for home use, but for
other sorts there is no demand.

In COCOA or PIMENTO nothing has been done.
GINGER is very dull of sale, and as lower rates
would be accepted, we reduce our quotations.

RlCE.—There is no Carolina in bond at market.
In East India rather more business has been done,
the sales reported being 600 bags, fair to good white
Bengal at 14s. to 15s. ,
HIDES.—The few transactions consist of 600
Brazil, dry damaged, at 6-id. to 71d., sound at 74d.
to Bd.; 540 North American Salted at 5d., and
2,500 East India at 44d. to 61d. per lb.
TALLOW.—The market has been quite inactive,l
but prices of yellow candle rule nominally the same.
COTTON.—The market has been dull, and prices
of all descriptions barely supported; but the public')
sales yesterday were well attended, and of 6,800 bags
offered, 4,000 were sold at prices nearly equal to
those previously obtained by private treaty. The
import is 3,269 bags, and the sales amount to
9,447 bags.
TOBACCO.—The sales of this week have been
unusually limited, and those of October amount only
to 678 hogsheads, comprising 302 Virginia Leaf,
242 Stemmed, 67 Kentucky Leaf, and 67 Stemmed;
of these 250 Virginia Leaf, with a few good strips,
were for Ireland, the Leaf 24d. to 3,1 d., a few at
4d., and a hogshead or two in an average rated at
higher prices, the Stemmed 44d. to. Sd. ; about 320
to the manufacturers, nearly all Stemmed, the Vir-
ginia 3d. to 4d the Kentucky 3d. to 4,;(1. and
chiefly 34d. to na. ; and for exportation 100
Virginia and Kentucky Leaf at 24d. to 34-d. Prices
are full 4cl. lower on all descriptions. The better
qualities of Virginia Strips are quite neglected. Im-
port in October, 1,703 hogsheads (from Virginia
1,436, New Orleans 155, and from Quebec
12 ;) delivered 812 hhds. viz. 346 for home-trade,
173 for Ireland, and 293 for exportation. The
stock 30th Oct. 10,282 hhds.; same period 1826 it
was 8,930. The small lot of British American to-
bacco, just landed, proves only of the lowest ex-
port quality. Stemmed continues to form the
;'greater part of the year's import, with the exception
r 'of one cargo wholly leaf, for public sale 20th inst.
amongst which are some fair home trade and Irish
leaf. The growth of tobacco in Ireland, so long
complained of, has at length attracted the notice of
Government, who have taken measures that are ex-
pected will prevent its illicit consumption. Arrived
this week the Hibernia, from Virginia, with 371
hogsheads.
NAVAL STORES.—The sales of Tar consist of
1,300 barrels American, at 15s. 165., and 800
Archangel, at 15s. 9d. per brl. A further decline
has taken place in Turpentine, of which 3,200 brls.
have been sold, at 10s. a 10s. 3d. per cwt. for good
quality.
_ _ _ - . . _ _ _ _

For 13 brls. American Bees' Wax, 10/. 2s. 6d. a
10/. 10s. per cwt. has been obtained. '
A small sale of Archangel Linseed flits been effect-
ed at 38s. per quarter.
DYEWOODS.-The demand continues very limit-
ed, and prices are generally lower. The sales this
week consist of 65 tons Campeachy Logwood at
71. 15s. a 71. 17s. 6d. per ton from the quay, and 15
Jamaica, of good quality, at 6/. ssi ; of a few small
retail lots of Fustic at about our quotations; of 10
tons common Carthagena solid Nicaragua Wood, at
M. 10s.; 50 mixed solid and large rough, at 91.
7s. 6d., and 10 very fine solid Lima, at 22/. ; of 20
tons of Camwood, of very good quality, at 13/. from
the quay; and 25 tom Gaboon Barwood, at 71. a
7/. ss. per ton.
INDIGO.-The public sales yesterday drew together
an unusually poor attendance of buyers, and there
was so little disposition to purchase, that of about
200 chests Bengal offered, only SOfound buyers, not-
withstanding that a further decline from the Com-
pany's sale prices of 3d. to 6d., and even on some of
the liner lots 9d. to ls. was submitted to. The
qualities which Were disposed of were chiefly ordi-
nary mixed consumers, for the Manchester market
at 3s. to 6s. per lb. in bond, middling at 6s. to 75.,
and a few good and fine at 7s. 6d. to 9s. Of the
Spanish (90 serons Guatimala and 17 Caracca) it
was found equally impossible to effect sales at any
thing near former prices, and only half a dozen lots
of the former, hard ordinary Cortes, at 3s. 6d. to ss.
6d. per lb., duty paid, and a dozen of the latter,
mixed ordinary qualities, at 4s. to 75., were knocked
down. Of Lac Dye not a chest has yet been sold,
the depressed state of the market, for Cochineal, of
whieh only a single seron Vera Cruz silver has been
sold this week, at 12s. 6d. per lb., duty paid, and
five chests East India at ls. 10d. in bond, rendering
it very difficult to effect sales. In Safflower nothing
whatever has been done. 2150 bundles Munjeet, of
middling quality, brought by auction, 235. 6d. per
cwt. duty paid.
MEDITERRANEAN PRODUCE.-47 double, and 20
single bales Turkey Madder Roots have been sold at
38s. per cwt., but for French only 365. 6d. was
offered, nor has there been latterly so much inquiry
for :Madders.

Sicily Sumach is offered at lower rates without meet-
ing a ready sale, the transportation being confined to
130 bags at Ios. for old, and 10s. 6d. for new, and
40 Verona at 7s. 6d.; for the small parcel of Ma-
laga attempted by auction, the highest offer being
lls., it was bought in at 12s. per cwt.
Of Bark the sales are 80 tons Dutch Oak, at
6/. .ss. per ton ; and 10 hhds. new Philadelphia
Quercitron, at 15s. 3d. per cwt.
OJL.—ln Olive there is little alteration to notice,
small sales of Gallipoli being made at 401., and 10
tens Malaga having brought 34/. to 351. per ton;
for 250 tons Palm 25/. has been accepted.
Gum.—With the exception of a lot of Barbary at
465. 3d. per cwt., duty paid, nothing whatever is
done at the public sales.

A little common white Argol has been sold at
565., and of good red, at 60s. per cwt.; but in
Cream of Tartar there is nothing to notice.
ASHES.—A further decline has taken place this
week, the sales consisting of 350 brls. Montreal
Pot, chiefly at 28s. to 28s. 3d., and only in a few
instances 28s. Gd. for new, and 265. for old; and 500
brls. New York at 2.55. 3d. for very old and stained,
and 275. Gd. for last years, and in Pearl of 150 brls.
Montreal at 28s. 6d. to 28s. 9d. for old, and 293.6 d.
for new.

THE MINSTER-YARD, YORK.—Last Friday
afternoon, a curious discovery was made near the West end
of the cathedral. It was a piece of masonry in the form of
a bath, having at one end a descent of five steps, -and at the
side an opening as if for the
admission of Water. This
piece of workmanship was scarcely a foot below the sur-
face of the ground, and it is very near the 'ancient site of
St. Sepulchre's chapel, a part of which, until veili recently,
was used as a public-house, known by the sign of the Hole-
in-the-Wall. The cellar of this house was celebrated for
having formerly been a dungeon of a very gloomy and sin-
gular kind, the entrance to which was through two enor-
mous oak doors, which folded one against the other.—Pon-
caster Gazettl.

POLICE INTELLIQUNCL.

GUILDHALL.—On Saturday a clerk of Mr. rlsrali,,
attended with a summons which had been granted fLr
purpose of obtaining from /tin T., a watchmaker, ills
street, an explanation how three watches, which had a.-
stolen, had come into his possession.
Mr. Armstrong stated on Friday, when h—e apP
the summons, that his warehouse at Liverpool was hr7isti
into on the 10th of March last, and watches and nAtene
for watches were carried off to the amount of 470/.
ing received information that one of the stolen $O7O,
was found at Ikey Solomon's house, he came to 1.01.0
and Ikey was committed on his charge among atrjif
He had since been informed ttat Mr. T. had purchsg'bil
Ikey Solomon the whole of the watches stolen fr°ttdgs
warehouse, and on going to Mr. T.'s shop on Wedo7o,
in the character of a customer, he was actually shovia
of his own watches. He obtained a search-warrallto,
this office on Thursday, but could not then discover-a, be
tige of his property, and lie was told the three watello
had looked at had been sold. He supposed some of tr
spies had recognised him while waiting at the Loa
street-office, and had conveyed a hint to Mr: T. 104
Mr. Harmer's clerk had been instructed since L'e
been in that room, to assure the Alderman that Id
r'ol
had been obliged to leave town upon urgent busineoho
that he would attend at this office on WednesdaY Apr
when he would have a good answer to make to the ,
plaint against him.

The complainant, Mr. Armstrong, considering 001
mere pretext to obtain time to leave the kingdom, Pr
immediately for a warrant to apprehend Mr. T.
The shopman, who had instructed Mr. Harmer'eLe.
being in the room, ,was called forward to support the"-
ment that Mr. T. had left town upon business. gibe
Mr. Payne, the second clerk, suggested that it o.d
proper to inquire wlmher this shopman was not iitird 0
in the offence. He thought there was sufficient 0'1'71,1

shop, on Wednesdey, to see if any of the watches h! ,
lost would be shown to him, he saw only this shot
who produced three of those etoleu *gushes ; and ;pp
following day, this shopman was only found in the
when he asserted the three watcheshad been sold. Ids
