CITY MARKETS-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

SUGAR.—The arrivals of Plantation Sugar continue to
be large, and although the delivery for home consumption
is pretty extensive, spewing a regular demand for Sugars;
the stock yesterday in the West India Ducks was 51,425
lols. and 3,763 trcs. The market wears, however, a
rather less active appearance than it did, but this morning
sufficient business has nut been transacted to allow of an
accurate opinion being formed as to whether prices will be
supported. The stock of Mauritius Sugars is getting low.
There is little demand fur Foreign Sug-trs, either for t!:e
home or continental trade.

In COFFEE some re-action has taken place on the late
advance, a state of things to be expected, but as the de-
liveries are considerable it may be stated that the market
remains in a healthy state.
RU3l.—Both the export and home consumption de-
mand is steady ; for the latter 453 puns. and 18 hhds.,
and for the former 343 puns. and 42 hulls., were delivered
last week., leaving the stock in the West India Docks yes-
terday, 26,797 puns. and 2,026 hhds. Had it not been,
however, for th:i Government contracts the prices must
have given way, as it is they are drooping.
'Fite delivery of BRANDY last week was large.
COTTON.—The increased demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool has tendered to render the market final here, and prices
are a shade better. The quotations are as follows :
Surats, 31d. to 311. ; Bengals, ; Demerara, si-d. to
; Bahia, sid. to 64 p. ; Maranham, 5 d. to fi d. ;
Bowels, 4ad. ; Iharbadoes, 51. ; Egyptian, 6d. to 71al.
per lb.
The Tonacco market is firm ; Virginia stemmed, from
sd. to 51.1. per lb.
In Hors there is no alteration worthy notice. The
pickings are going on generally, and turn out less favour-
ably than was anticipated.
BALTIC PRODUCE.—The accounts from St. Peters-
burgh quote the Exchange at from 101 to 10, 21-32.
Tallow was at 100 rubles; shipped off 115,000 casks.
Here the prices heavy, from 375. 6d. to 375. 91. There
were delivered last week 2,288 casks. Hemp is from 445.
to 459., and Flax, 355. per cent.

Some of the commercial advices from Madras, received
to••day to the 3d of March, represent that there had been
rather an improved demand for some descriptions of British
manufactures, but prices continued ruinnutly low ; Wool--
lens and Cottons barely fetched the invoice prices, and in
many instances had been sold under such value. The stock
on hand continues large.

His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBER-
LAND, accompanied by the Duchess and Prince GEORGE,
honoured the Colosseum, yesterday, with a visit fur three
hours. The illmitrions visitors expressed their great ap-
probation of the Picture and general arrangements. His
Royal Highness avcended in the ascending room made for

- -
that purpcse. The Gallery of Arts, which is at present
in the Saloon, attracted greatly the attention of his Royal
Highness, particularly the colossal figure of CHRIST on the
Cross, by Mr. SIEVIER. Ills Royal Highness also pur-
chased a bust of the venerable Earl ELDON, by the same
artist.

The Marquis of CrIOLMONDELEY'S fine
mansion in Piccadilly,-which has been sold to the Duke of
CAmnitincE, is undergoing a thorough repair, previously
to the arrival of his Royal Highness from Hanover. It is
reported thetoffiee of Commander-in-Chief is destined for

the Duke, and in that event, the Duke of CUMBERLAND
would be appointed to the Government of ['allover—a dis-
tinction said to be tie summit of his Royal Highness's
ambition ; but to this there are at present insuperable ob-
jections in a very high quarter.

A surplus of 1,0001. in aid of the public
charities is expected from the Chester Musical Festival
after defraying all expensts.

THE POST-OFFICE.--in the next Session of
Parliament a Bill is to be introduced, for the purpose
of regulating the details of the contemplated consolidation
of the English and Irish Past-office Establishments. It is
understood that the Bill is preparing under the superin-
tendence of Mr. VESEY FITZGRRAI.D. The salary of the
English Secretary is to be reductd to 1,0001. per annum,
and that of the Secretary residing in Dublin to 500/. All
orders relative to the details of management, and all ap-
poiniments to offices, clerks, &c., are to issue from the
London Office. Of course a discretionary power over the
Irish provincial offices will be vested in the Secretary at
Dublin. The clerks are not, as heretofore, to be stationed
permanently, but those in London are to be removed occa-
sionally to Dublin, and vice versa. It is proposed to re-
duce the salaries of the clerks generally ; but no alteration
in this regard will take place with the present possessors,
who will be superannuated, or permitted to die off
Neither will any change occur in the salaries of Sir FRAS.
FREEI.ING or Sir EDWARD LEES. One or both of the
Irish Post-Masters-General will be altogether dispensed
with.—Dublin Paper.

Yesterday (Thursday) evening, about six
eb the Sandwich packet, Captain SCIIYLER, arrived
at Falmouth, from Lisbon, from which place she sailed on
the 13th inst. She brings intelligence that the defeat of
the expedition against Terceira has become fully known at
Lisbon, by the successive arrival of several vessels belong-
ing to it. The first that made her appearance in the Tagus
was the Amacon frigate, which arrived on the Gth inst.
On the 7th :no gun...brigs, each of 16 guns, and several
transports arrived. On the 11th, the Diana frigate
came in. These arrivals rendered all affected ignoranceof
the fate of the expedition useless; its total discomfiture
speedily became the topic of conversation amongst all
classes. The partisans of the usurper are furiously en•
raged, whilst the Liberals look their exultation, though
they dare not publicly avow it. But the most important
effect is, that ivhich it .is understood has been produced
on the soldiery by the disgraceful defeat sustained at Ter•,
ceira. It is said, that um quivocal symptoms of disaffec-
tion to norm.. have been manifested by the troops that
have returned, as well as by those who compose the gar-
rison of Lisbon. As these sentiments are known to be
partaken by a large proportion of ,the inbul,itanta, hopes
of a general insurrection against the tyrant were again
entertained. The next arrival will prob:bly show whe-
ther these expectations are likely to be realized. The
Sandwich left the Pomona, French frigate, in the Tagus,
