CITY MARKETS.

PLANTATION Suoaas.—The demaitd has been very ex-
tensive this week, at an advance of full 2s. per cwt. since
last Thursday, and although the market has been tolerably
well supplied, yet at the close of each day it was nearly
cleared of almost every description : to-day the importers
were again demanding higher prices, and up to a late hour
(after three o'clock) the buyers continued to remain in the
market : some very Brown Jamaican sold for 645. ; from
the great deficiency in the stock at this season of the year,
which will be more than double by Monday next, as
very little can be landed by that time, and the trade in
general being eager to increase theirs, a further advance is
expected. _ _

FOREIGN SUGARS.-About 90 chests Brazils, Browns
and Whites, were taken to-day by a Refiner upon specula-
tion, the Refiners having petitioned for an extension of
time to pay duty on Foreign Sugars (it having expired last
Friday) but were refused ; they are, however, making fur-
ther application, anticipating success: the exporters have
done very little, as the holders are very firm in their de-
mand, looking more to the home consumer.
REFINED SUGAns.-The extensive demand noticed in
my last nearly cleared the market of almost every descrip-
tion, and the Refiners have since advanced their prices, and
very few goods to be bought; although there does not ap-
pear to be any very great bustle, where goods are showu,
they are taken out of the market quietly, the Refiners ob-
taining the prices they ask ; some transactions have taken
place in crashed at the advanced quotations. .

COFFEE.—For the coloury qualities offered by public
sale this week, a very brisk demand has been displayed,
and an advance of 2s. to 3s. given ; the sales consisted of
854 casks Plantation of the various descriptions ofJamaica,
Dutch, and Dominica, and 1,298 bags Foreign, princi-
pally St. Domingo, the good and fine ordinary qualities of

12TH JULY.—This Orange Anniversary has,
we are happy to learn, passed off with comparative quiet
through many of the Irish provinces. In some parts of
Tipperary there seems to have been some disturbance, but
not sufficient to excite serious apprehension. '

The Barley Harvest is commencing in the
neighbourhood of Kidderminster. Notwithstanding the
little rain we have had, the crop will generally be good.
The Wheat is ripening very fast, and the cutting will soon
commence.— Worcester Journal.

BROMLEY, JULY 19.—The body of a female
was yesterday discovered floating in that part of the Ra-
vensbourne, that flows through the Bishop of Rochester's
Park, near Bromley. She was very respectably dressed,
but only one halfpenny was found in her pocket. It is
not known who she is, but it is surmised that she came
from London, possibly for the horrible purpose she has so
fatally accomplished.

A celebrated clerical fox-hunter being about
to be presented to a London living, one of his tally-ho
friends expressed a hope that it would be that of All-
hallows-barking

COACH ACCIDENT.--T 4 Celerity and
Defiance coaches have been upset on the road between

zette, aged fifteen years, on the 31st of May :composed
fourteen thousand m's by day-light. In performing this
task' lie had to handle 40,000 pieces.

The Duke of Bealffirt steam packet, from
Chepstow, on Monday, in, crossing the Severn,
encountered a tremendous gale of wind, in which
one vessel was upset. The steamer immediately
bore down to her assistance, when she proved to
be a barge belonging to Tintern, laden with bark,
&c. The crew, five..or six in number, had taken
to the boat, but two young women, sisters, who
had been to Tintern to see their parents, were
drowned. These unfortunate persons, it appears,
were beloW, when the squall coming on suddenly,
upset the barge, and closed the scuttle, thus
entombing them in a watery grave I—Bath
There is but one other case of mischievous ac-
tivity which I shall notice, and that is the habit
which zealous pastors get into of abusing all per-
suasions that differ from their 'own, the principle
of which is so very foolish and pharasaical, that it
hardly bears one serious remark, Is it because I
happen to be an Anabaptist, lauded and well fed by
my own congregation, that I am at liberty to• spit
my pious spleen at a Wesleyan, and rousing him
into corresponding hostility, not expect my anathema
to be returned with usury? Let the precedent be-
come admitted, and lo ! what becomes of religion
—clamor pari concurritztre 'have the whole of
Christendom at loggerheads; Papist against Protes-
tant,`Presbyterian against Churchman, Churchman
assaulting Papist, one shade of dissent abusing
another. Baptists, Antbaptists,, Soeinians, Arians,
Jumpers, Quakers, Moravians, Methodists, all by
the ears, preaching peace and the love of God, and
thus the feud is perpetuated from father to-son-
