CITY MARKETS.

Half-past Twelve o'clock.

PLANTATION SUGARS.—The market continues very flat,
and the few sales effected this week hdve been at a further
decline in price, particularly of the grocery descriptions;
the Grocers and Refiners still refrain from purchasing in
the present state of the market, except for their immediate
supply, although neither hold any stock : the falling off in
the weekly deliveries from the West India Doekr, occasioned
principally hrthe late advance, added to the late arrivals,
has brought the present stock upon a par with that on
hand at the same time last year.
Delivered last week from West India Docks, 2,184 hhds.,
232 tierces.

Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 13th inst.),
33,970 !ids., 3,301 tierces.

Stock on band in West India Docks (on Aug. 15, 1826),
87,352 hbds., 2,759 tierces.
Foamou SUGAUS.—Nothingappears to have been done

this week.

REFINED Suciats—This market is in such an unsettled
state, that it is rather difficult to ascertain the particulars
of the little business there is doing ; some parcels of brown
Lumps in second hands, originally bought to cover export
bonds, are reported ti have been sold Sts. 6d. a 829. 6d.,
geed small Lumps 845., and single Loaves a 85s. for pack-
ing.; in the grocery descriptions there is nothing doing;
few parcels of crashed have been sold this week, but at
lower rates, the refiners being anxious to complete the
quantity they have given bond to export.—Molasses heavy
a 265.

Corpaa.—The only sorts in demand are the middling
and good coloury descriptions of plantation, and for those
qualities very full prices have been paid this week : 1219
casks have been offered by publi(i sale, consisting chiefly of
the ordinary qualities of Jamaica, only part of which were
sold, at a reduction of from 2s. to 4s. per cwt. : nearly the
whole of the quantity .offered to-day was taken in, there
being scarcely any offers made. A small parcel of St.
Domingo, ordinary to good ordinary quality, sold on
Tuesday at 425. 6d. to 445. 6d., being a reduction of about
Is. ; rather a large parcel is advertizetl for sale to-morrow.
Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 620
casks, 552 bags, &c.
Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on the 13th
inst.), 13,630 casks, 76,609 bags, &c.
Stock on band in the West India Docks (on the 15t1:
August, 1526), 15,697 casks, 76,353 bags, &c.

present quotations, none remaining in the importers' bands.
100 barrels Red Smyrna Raisins, just landed, at Trieste,
have been sold at 535. ; Valentia Raisins are being taken

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—
EDINBURGH, Ave. 13.—Yesterday morning,
between nine and ten o'clock, a singular and
distressing accident occurred in Borthwick's
Close. One of the chimney stalks of the third
land on the west side from the bottom of the
close, consisting of three flats, and inhabited 1m
several families, suddenly fell with a tremendous
crash, some of the stones passing through the
roof and the several floors. By this occurrence,
a Mrs. Delancey, a widow, who with her family
inhabited the upper flat, lost her life, being suf-
focated with the duet, and another woman, Mary
Cameron, and several children, were severely.
bruised by the stones and rubbish. Mrs. De-
lancey's body was carried to the Police.office,
where every effort was used by inflation and
otherwise to restore animation but without
effect ; Mary Cameron, her child, and three
children of the woman who was suffocated,
James Martin, Elizabeth Martin and child, and
James Shillinglaw, were sent to the Infirmary,
more or less injured. The house, we under-
stand, had been condemned by the Dean of
Guild some time ago ; but his Lordship's de-
cree of removal had unfQrtunately not been car-
ried int 9 execkagi.
