LONDON HARM'S, JULY 22.

Corron.—The stock in London, with the excep-
tion of Bengal Cotton, is trivial ; for the latter, the
demand during the last week was most extensive ;
the sales are estimated to exceed :30(X) hags, chiefly
of the common and middling descriptions ; the prices
were 91d. to 129. The advance now demanded on
the East India sale prices is Id. per pound on the
common quality, which in some instances has been
realized. The best Bengal: are not in so extensive
request, they, however, command a small premium
The other sales of the week are—loo Pernams 2s. Id,
to 2s. ltd. 200 Maranhams 21J. to 2:lid. small par-
cels of Bahias 2:3d. to 2f:o. Minas 210. 320 80.
weds ISO to 19d. a few Oaring NJ. to '2W. Bar-
badoes 20id. Cart icons 22J. and Surats at Itid.
The greater proportion of the purchases since our
last are made by the export houses, but as they can-
not procure Bengal: under Id. per pound advance
on the late sale prices, the market is not so brisk ;
The advance at present has been only partially sub.
misted to.

The East India Company have again declared
.1100 Bengals for sale lst prosimo ; which is epee•
ted to be increased to 6.-.00 bales.

The letters received this morning from Glasgow
state a great improvement in the demand for the
chief articles of colonial produce. Sugar, Coffee,
and Cotton, were in extensive request ; the c rose of
the animated demand for the latter WAS stated to be,
that the request for Cotton Twist Itad b.come very
extensive.

Sues it. NfAteithstanding the extensive imports,
the stock in the warel.ouse yesterday was 12,000
casks less than on the 22d of July, NIG. Two pub.
lit sales of Barbadoes Sugar were brought forward
on Friday last, consisting of 407 casks ; the whole
went off freely about the advance of the market, 3s.
per cwt. with the exception of the good white, which
sold at the late currency ; 86s. and Si's. was only
realized for parcels which, at the market prices, might
have been valued at 90s. the interior white and the i
yellow went off at the advance we have stated,
per cwt. and briskly at the improvement.
The Market this forenoon is not so brisk as last
week ; the business done is not to any extent. A
temporary pause is the necessary consequence of the
late extensive transactions ; the prices this fore-',
noon are without any variation from the currency of
last week :--167 casks Barbedoes Sugar were
brought forward by public sale, a few of the ordi-
nary white lots, Sts. to 84s. went Is. to 2s. lower ;
the yellow went off with much briskness ; the prices
and the late advance was fully maintained. The de-
liveries from the warehouses last week are very ex-
tensive, above 5600 casks, of which about 9.50 were
for exportation.
For Foreign Sugars there is considerable demand ;
the prices are without any variation.
Comm.—Two public sales of Coffee were brought
forward this forenoon ; the first, consisting of 167
casks 382 bags, British Plantation Coffee, went off
with much briskness, at prices a shade higher than
last week-100 hhds. middling Dutch sold at 91s.
45 hhds. fine middling Jamaica, but without bloom,
realized 9ss. to 100 s. The other sale was chiefly
taken in at prices above the present market currency;
there is evrry appearance of Coffee recovering the de-
pressian of last week.
TonACC.I.—TLe only purchase of Tobacco for the
week past was a parcel of inferior Virginia ; the
prices are without variat;on, and nearly nominal, un-
til the result of the French contract is ascertained.
bum Pitonswas.—There have been no sales of
least importance in the provision market since our
last ; but as the stocks are moderate, very high prices
arc still expectid to be maintained. Bacon is in fair
demand. The supplies of new Ir,ish Butter continue
inadequate to the request ; the prices continue to
rate high.
Ricz.—The demand for Rice rather tevived last
week ; good Carolina, in considerable parcels, rea-
lized high prices ; old 355. Gd. and 365. About 800
bags of very inferior East India Rice was brought
forward by the East India Company, the prices 17s.
6d. to 19a. 6d. _ _ _

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The demand for
Tallow has greatly revived ; the prices are improving
on account of the imports being more limited than
was expected. Hemp and Flax without variation.
Ou,s.—There is no intelligence yet received as to
the success of the Greenland Whale Fishery; Oils to
arrive have been contracted for at €2B to A'2.9 ; there
no old at market. Southern Oil unvaried. Sperm
may be quoted a shade lower. Linseed also at a
small decline.

RUM. BRANDY, AND HouraNns.—sThere were con-
siderable transactions in Rum last week, and souse
Pppeat ance of its being selected as an article of spe-
culation the demand has since become limited ;
the 'Wee. of Leeward. and common JAN:I2ICM are
a idiom any variation. Several parcels of fine Ja-
maica Ram have been sold at rather higher prices.—
Brandies are a shade lower, and heavy at the decline.
In Geneva there is no alteration ; the demand conj..
titles very
SII.K.—.The sale commenced at the India House
yesterday ; the Bengal Silk is going 10 to 15 per
cent. higher than the last sale. China is lower.

Corn was cut in the parish of Fecoek, near Truro,
on Wednesday List.

Accounts tram Ireland, as well as those from every
part of England, inform us that the harvest has very
extensively commenced ; that the corn already cut is
of the very best quality ; and that tl ere never was
known a more promising season, all kiads of earthly
produce being in the most flourishing and abundant
state.

the knee joint, and the pan being perfectly healed,
a pad And wooden leg were braced on, and the poor
animal now walks about, lies down, and rises- with
much facility.
