CITY MARKETS.--(TWO O'CLOCK.)
PLANTATION SUGARS.—There is no alteration to notice
this week, the business done not having been very extensive, in
consequence of the continued scarcity of the good sorts which
have again been bought rather eagerly, as soon as shewn, at very
full prices ; -while the low qualities are a heavy sale, and the
quotations with difficulty supported. The Barbadoes offered by
public sales on Tuesday brought full as high prices as those ob-
tained at the sale last week. Of Mauritius 4,656 bags were
brought forward yesterday, when the bright Grocery sorts were
the only descriptions which found buyers at previous rates, con-
sequently a great part was bought in, and some of the low qualities
at rather lower rates ; two more public sales are advertised to
take place to-morrow.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—Several sales of white Brazils (Per-
nams) have been made (of good and fine qualities) from 365. to
40s. ; two public sales also have been brought forward, at which
scarcely any thing but damaged was sold, low to middling white
Pernams being taken in from 30s. to 335., and good and fine 395. a
405.: in Havanuah there does not appear to have been anything
done.

REFINED SUGARS.—This market continues precisely in
the same state as last week, having the appearance of extreme
heaviness, and where sales have been made lower prices have
been accepted, as the buyers, although rather disposed to make
purchases, continue to offer very low, consequently parcels have
been sold under the quotations, both for packing and crashing;
the Grocery sorts continue much neglected.
COFFEE.- Of Plantation upwards of 500 casks have been of-
fered this week, consisting chiefly of coloury Jamaica, of which
only part has been sold, and prices upon the whole have barely
been supported ; of Foreign 1,011 bags have been brought for-
ward (all Brazil), and being principally damaged, have been
all disposed of. The sound good ordinary brought 335. 6d. a 355.,
and fine ordinary 365.
FRUIT—The very low prices at which Valentia Raisins, in
boxes, are now being sold, has brought on a very extensive de-
mand, and they are taken very freely, consequently in Red
Smyrna Raisins there is scarcely any thing doing ; a cargo of
Currants has been divided this week at 80s.

This has been a more interesting week in the Colonial and
other markets than has occurred for some time past, the public
sales of Sugar, Coffee, Cotton, &c. having been exceedingly
large ; but the general tendency has been downwards.
SUGAR.—About 12,000 bags of Bengal Sugars, at the East
India Company's sale, went off at from Is. to Is. 6d. per cwt.
lower than last sale. Nearly 5,000 bags of Mauritius were bought
in at a reduction.
RUM.—In the Rum market there is a total want of energy,
and the prices are expected to be lower.
THE SILK TRADE.—Haw Silks may again be quoted a
shade lower. In fact, there is not the least demand for any de.
scriptions. The delivery of Silk from the East India Company's,
warehouse in the last month, 639 bales. The stocks there are
increasing, the arrivals lately having been large.
CorroN.—The extensive sales of Cotton yesterday attracted
much attention. The stocks of Cotton in the port of London are
generally larger than at this period list year. Of Egyptiatt there
are abaft 6,000 sales ; of West India, 1,100 bales; of Brasil,
about 5,700 bales; of Bourbon, 700 bales ;. of Surats, 56,000
bales; of Brazil, 62,1'00 bales; of Modons, 1,800 bales. The total
stocks at the beginning of the month were above 90,000 bales,
against 80,000, at the corresponding period last year. Of the
12,000 bales of Surats offered yesterday, 3,000 only were sold at
from 3Ud. to 3%c1.; 5,000 bales were withdrawn, and 4,000
bought in at 3%d. ; 1,800 bales of Orleans, 1,090 withdrawn, 850
sold at 5%d., the remainder bought in.
OlLS.—Greenland may be quoted, 251. 111 s. ; Sperm, 721. ;
Southern, 28/. to 301. ; Gallipoli Oil, 52/, pet ton ; Imperial Pale
Rape, 48/. ; Linseed, 25/. 6s. per cwt.
RUSSIAN PRODUCE.—TaIIow rather brisk. at 38s. 6d. per
cwt. The accounts from Russia are to the 21st ult. ; Exchange
at St. Petersburgh, 10-21 32ds. ; Tallow 97 rubles

FATAL AFFRAY AT ROCHDALE.

" MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

" I have just returned from Rochdale, where a melan-
choly affray has taken place. • Yesterday Major Beswick,
a magistrate, who lives in the neighbourhood of Rochdale,
attended at the Wellington Hotel in that town, to take
the examinations of the men who were taken into custody
last week, while gathering shuffles' at the different fac-
tories which were attacked. I was not present at the exa-
mination, but I understand that it was conducted with
great patience, and that after being engaged in it for up.
wards of sit hours, the magistrates discharged seven of
the men, Ind committed 16 to take their trial at the York
assizes. Tire Wellington Hotel is at a considerable distance
from the prison, and as it was feared that a rescue might
be attempted, the prisoners were not only handcuffed
but all fastened together by a rope ; and in this man-
ner were conducted through the main street by a patty
of the carabineers. This unfortunate public display
seems, in some degree, to have led to the fatal result;
for as the procession was on its way, the feelings of the
spectators were wound to the highest pitch, and loud exe-
crations of the soldiers were mixed with expressions of
sympathy for the men who were thus carried bound to
prison. Several large stones were thrown at the soldiers,
who exercised throughout a most laudable forbearance.
One private, who was struck, drew a pistol from his hol-
sters, but was 'immediately checked by his officer, who
said, Be calm ! be calm ! Don't mind a hit with a
stone.' When the prisoners were lodged in the gaol;
the mob partly dispersed, and the carabineers retired,
leaving the prison guarded by nine soldiers of the 67th
foot, commanded by, a serjetist and corporal. This
was about eight o'clock. The 'mob, seeing so small a
force, rallied, and in a short time began to throw stones
at the guard, and several of the.,: men were hurt. The
serjeant then said, that if they did not give over, he should
be compelled to order his men to "fire; but his warning
produced no effect. He then ordered out two men, and
told them to fire. The men obeyed, and the report of
the muskets produced a good deal of consternation. But
when it was seen that no one was hurt, the mob rallied,
and attacked the soldiers with additional fury. The ser-
jeant then ordered out all his party, and the whole of
them fired. Again there was a retreat, but as none were
killed, though several were wounded, another attack was
made, headed, as I was told, by a man of the name of
Taylor, who said if no one else would go in upon
the soldiers he would. Another volley was then fired.
Taylor fell dead upon the spot, and several others were
mortally wounded. Thite was then an instant retreat, and
in a second not a mil was left in the street.

" A lad named Walton was amongst the number of
those who were wounded. A ball went in at his mouth
and passed out at the back of his head. He died five
minutes after being removed to Mr. Wood's surgery.
" A man of the name of Schofield was shot right through
the belly, the ball entering in front and coming out at the
back. He died this morning, and has left a widow and
five children.

" A lad named Buckley, who seems to have been drawn
into the crowd by curiosity, was also shot right through
the bowels, and died this morning.
" At the first fire over the people's heads, a ball entered
an upper wiudow of Mr. Stott's flour-mill, at least eighty
yards off, where Mr. Stott's son, a child of between five
and six years of age, was standing looking out on the
mob. The ball entered his forehead, and went out at the
back of his head, and the poor child expired while I was
there this forenoon.

" Two other men named Ray and Yellow are supposed
to be mortally wounded.
" One young man has had an arm amputated, and
another has had a leg amputated. Both are likely to
recover. One girl was shot through the knee. Besides
those I have mentioned, about ten more were wounded, so
that every shot fired by the soldiers seems to have taken
effect.

" I mentioned in my last night's letter the extraordi-
nary fact of, . great part of Manchester being entirely at
the mercy 9p the mob. After my letter was sent off,
there was atirenewal of the plunder, and notwithstanding
the activity of the military and the police-officers, three
shcps were broken„ into,' and completely gutted of their
contents.

" To-day there has been no disturbance, either here or
at Rochdale. I rode through Middleton on my way to
Rochdale, and through Bury on my return, and ill wipi
quiet there."

The modern city of Moscow is in great part
constructed of English bricks.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAr

COURT OF CHANCERY.
MORRIS V. DAVIS.

The hearing of this ease upon further directions was,
upon the application of Mr. Horne, ordered for Thursday
next.

DREVOR V. MALTDSLEY.

This case, it will be recollected, has latterly occupied
the attention of the Court for several days, upon a motion
to dissolve an injunction restraining trustees from applying
the sum of 50001. to any other purpose than the paying off
two post obit bonds, granted by a Mr. Lee, and purchased
at the Auction Mart by Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, M.P.
The case stood for further argument to-day, but upon its
being called on,
Mr. HORNE thought that the Court would be uselessly
employed in proceeding further with it at present, Mr. Lee
having met with an accident which had occasioned his
death. It appeared from the statements of the Learned
Counsel that Mr. Lee, who
,had, resided some time in Ger-
many, was on his way to tVa-country, for the purpose of
putting in his answer to tlitjfill, when the diligence in
which he was travelling king overturned, the unfortunate
gentleraaa was thrown into a fosse and drowned. The
further arguments in the case ,were, therefore, ordered to
stand over till the trust could be revived.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
CIIAABERS V. WATERS,-.-BERNA 5C0241 V. SAME.

These causes, which have been before the Court for a
great length of time, the question in which involves the
right of proprietorship in the King's Theatre, came on
again for argument this morning.
Mr. Evans, up to the time our Reporter left, was en-
gaged in opening the pleadings, and reading the bill, which
is exceedingly voluminous. The cause is expected 'tp last
several days.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

DEANE V. LORD COCHRANE.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff against
Lord Cochrane, to recover the value of a large quantity of
Spanish dollars. It was tried before the LORD CHIEF
&moll at the sittings after last Term, when his Lordship
directed a nonsuit.

Mr: Castesar.r. this morning moved for a rule to shi;nv
cause why that nonsuit should not be set aside, and a new
trial granted. After a long argument on points of law.
the Court refused to grant the rule.
