LONDON AIARKLTS, DECEMBER 16.

Corrox.—The East India Company will, we be.
lieve. bring forward the whole of the recent arrivals
of Bengal and Surat Cotton on the 9th proximo.
The market since our last has been without brisk-
ness. bet no particular descriptions are pressed Upon
the market, with the exception of Bengal Cotton, the
holders of which appear rather eager to effect :Ales.
,Me purchases since our last exceed 900 packages-
-260 Minas Md. 90 Maranhams 280.0 Pernam-
-buco: 2s. Id. 100 mixed 2s. 011 few Demerara,
efid. stained 200. Surinam, at 2s. and, exclusive of
idisty, 100 &loos were taken at 14d. to 15id. and 250
Bengals 100. to 1 Id.
SUOAR.—The demand for Moscovades last week
was rather limited ; the prices could not be stated at
any variation ; the buyers were of opinion they would
be able to purchase on lower terms, as they calcula-
ted the holders would be eager to effect sales on ac-
count of the probable alteration of the Sugar duty on,
the sth proximo ; the *descriptions suitable for refl..
ning were in more demand than the other qualities.
There was considteable interest excited this mor-
ning at the Opening of the Sugar market, to ascer-
tain what effect the account of the hurricane in the
West Indies would have on the prices and the de-
mand for Sugars.—So great was the alarm at the
effect of the gale in the -first of the day, that many
brokers refused to sell until they had consulted the
importers, and their opinion as to the probable effect
lon the imports ; the buyers would submit to no great
advat-ce, disbelieving the reports, either altogether,
or conceiving the account to be greatly exaggerated;
under these circumstances, the brokers who effected
sales obtained an advance of Is. and in some in.
stances Ys. per cwt. on the former prices, but the
business done was not extensive, as the purchasers
calculated upon the great probability of the holders
pressing sales on account of the alteration of the
duty early is January. There is, however, no ques-
tion, that if the accounts are confirmed to any extent,
the Sugar atarket will again advance ; at the close
of the market several holden refused to sell under an
advance of 9s. more especially as a public sale of
Barbados Sugar has gone uff, with briskness, at
prices 2s. to Si. higher than could previously be ob-
teiood by private contract ; it consisted of 210 hhds.
34 tierces Barlsidoes Sugar—good white 90s. to 91s.
ed. ordinary white 86s. to 871. 6d. yellow 81s. to
84s. the lowest in the parcel 795. 6d.-164 hhds. St.
-Domingo, also by public sAle, for exportation only,
went off freely—strong brown 455. to 475. 6d.
la refined goods last week there was nut much bu-
siness doing ; the holders would not submit to lower
prices; there were few contracts made for parcels to
be delivesid in spring ; the refiners were rather
averse to contract, as they were of opinion there was
little chance of the market going lower.
The refiners this forenoon are asking prices a shade
higher, but there has been few purchases made at any
advance. In Foreign Sugars no business doing.
COMM—there were lour public sales oft:offee
brought forward last week ; the whole went off
freely ; the late prices were fully maintained-300
bags good ordinary St. Domingo sold at 925. 6J. or-
dinary Jamaica in brisk demand ; ordinary realized
87s. good ordinary 89s. and 90s. fine ordinary 925.
and OU. The Dutch Coffee also sold freely at the
late prices. There were no public sales of Coffee
this forenoon ; the request by private contract has
not been extensive.

Isms Paotrtsroms...-Prime Beef continues in de-
mand ; it is reported that the quantity of Mess and
India to be put up this season in Ireland will be li-
mited. There has been no new Pork brought to
market in any quantity ; a considerable pioportion
of the new supplies appear very deficient in respect
to the core. Bacon is without variation. The sup-
plies of Butter are still very inadequate to the de-
mand, and the holders confidently anticipate that
high prices will be maintained.
.Rica.—There continues to be a good demand for
Carolina Rice, but few parcels can be met with.; for
the East India descriptions the. request has rather'
given way, on account of the arrivals being reported
at 13,000 bags.
Taa.—The•Bobeas sold about lid. under do last
sale t the low sorts of Congou about id. lower ; in
the finer descriptions from a Id. to 2J. higher I
Sampoi and Souchoos nearly the same. Green Teas
nearly the prices of last sale ; Hysoos rather lower.
TtailioCo.-I'bere have been above SO O bbds.
ginia Leat Tobacco sold 7d. to Sid. the latter price
was realized for a selected parcel ; Strips continue in
demand 91d. to lid. There is no Kentucky at mar•

,fret ; the wilole stock of Maryl Ind Tohirer) in the
warehouse is about 100 hods. of which 60 Ithds. are
in the hands of the dealers ; the prices are, in conse•
quence, nearly uonsinal—about 900 hhJs. of Vir-
ginia have lately arrived, and from 71'0 to 800 birds.
more of the crop of 1816 ate expected here, and from
120( to 14(X) Ithds—at Liverpool.
NAVAL Sranas.—The late arrivals of Rough Titr•
rpentine have beers all disposed of., Spirits are unva-1
vied. Stockholm Tar is a shade higher. In Rosin
or Pitch there is no variation.
Snots...a—There is little veriztior in the prices of
East India Spices,exeept Pepper, which is heavy.
Ott..—Greerland Oil has advanced L 6 to re 7 per
tun since Tue.,:lay last ; the great rise is attributed,
in some measure, to the rapid advance in Tallow,
and also owing to the scarcity of Oil, except such
parcels u are in the hands of the speculators. Every
other descriptions of Oilc have also advanced.
RCM, BRANDY, AND HoLtallos----The prices of
Rum are nominal. Brandy is 6,i. to Bd. per gallon
higher. Geneva is without any variation.
HssfP, FLAX, AND TALee,w.— Tile prices of TalloW
are little varied. The late advance on ki:mp and
Flax is fully maintained.
The total amount of hop-duty for the current year
is 51t118,65. Ss. 6J.; at1i8,076. 3s. 6d. the propor-
tion of the old, and 50.317„110,.. of the new duty.

amounted, on the last year's importation, to upwards
of £lOO,OOO.

Bow-sister.--Mr. Fox, a tailor, of King-street.
Covent•garden, applied to the Magistrate, yesterday,
to be excused from paying the usual rewards to a
Fire-office for having been the first to extinguish a
fire in his chimney. The ground of his objectiOn to
pay was. that the chimney belonged to the room of
his lodgers, Mr. and Mrs. Liston. the Comedians:
but the Magistrate told'him, that as the insurance of
the whole house was in his name, he must be respon-
sible for all expenses resulting from it. Mr. Fox
asked the Magistrate if be could recover it again of
Mr. Liston ? The Magistrate did not give an opi-
nion on this point, but said it was most probable Mr.
Liston would pay him, as the fire was in the chim-
ney of his apartment. Mr. Fax again appealed to
the Magistrate to know if the chimney had been
swept within a certain short distance of the fire taking
place, it would not exonerate him from the rewards ?
The Magistrate, in reply, said. he knew there was
such a received opinion, but he knew of no Act to
authorise it.

CORE, Dec- 9.—We have seldom had to record so
horrid a traquction as that which has just occurred
in the neighbourhood of our City.—Late on Saturday
evening last, information was given to the Mayor and
Sheriffs, through Mr. George Newenhatn, stating '
that the body of a female bad been found, and less
then lying murdered and quite naked, on the lands of
Lots, in the North L;berties of this city ; in conse-
quence of which Mr. Hewson, High Constable, pro-
ceeded to the place and had the body removed to town
for the purpose of holding an Inquest. This com-
menced on Sunday before HENRY Halms,. Esq. and
the Inquest was conducted with an anxiety for jus-
tice, a patience, perseverance, and humanity, which
reflect much honour on the presiding. Magistrate. A
woman came forward and stated, that the deceased
lodged for near three months past in her house in Pen-
rose's-lane, that she saw her for the last time on Fri-
day evening, when she borrowed sane clothes for the
deceased, previous, as she stated. to her accompanying
to Glanmire a young woman of the name of Con-
nell. who was to introduce her to a Gerdlernan in
the neighbourhood. The cluthes were accurately
described by. the witness. After this parting she
neither saw nor heard of the deceased until Sun-
day morning. when curiosity led her to view
the body at the Bridewelt. An apron was found
round the neck of the deceased, and it appeared drat
strangulation was the immediate cause of her death.
The body was then buried and the inquest was ad-
jonrned to yesterday, and Mr. Hewson accompanied
by Mr. Crofts and Mr. Newenham, proceeded to,
Glanmire, where it was stated the Father of Mary
Connell resided. He found her in her father's house
having on her pet son the shift. buskins, and other ar.
titles of dress, stained with blood, described as those I
which the deceased had on when she left town : she
Was lodged in Bridewell on Sunday night, and yes-
, terday, the body was taken up in order to be enabled
to ascertain to whom the apron belonged, that was
found round as neck of the deceased, and which had
been buried with her The Inquest met by adjourn.
meat yesterday, and the apron was proved to be the
property of Mary Connell, who has acknowledged
being in company with the deceased on the night of
the murder, but refuses to state any thing flintier about
this inhuman and &grid transaction. Tl.c Jury have
returneda verdict of wilful murder ap.inst Mary
Connell, who has been luny committed tor trial.
