LONDON MARXITS, SEPTEMAER 16.

There continues to be a great speculation. in Ben-
gal Cotton : above :-.00;) bags were purchased last
week; nearly the whole, sec understand, intended for
resale; the prices realized 12d. a 14d. The other
sales of the week were-450 Minas 2s. a 2s. 14d.;
220 Pernambuco 2s. 2d. a 2s. Sd. ; (17 Carriacou
2s. Old. a t!s. Cid.; 55 Demerara 2s. 00.; a few
Janraicas 2.41. a 25.; and 70 Surats 160. a 190.
There has been little business done either yester—
day or today in Cottons. The letters from Ame-
rica this morning state that the Craton crops are
' very deficient ; but we are so accustomed to these re-
ports, that, if really true, they are not believed. %e
have seen several letters from Charleston that speak
confidently that the shipments this year must be very
deficient of the usual supply.
Suoan.—The demand for Muscovades, after the
day of our publication last week, continued brisk and
extensive ; the prices gradually advancing, and to-
wards the close of the market there was such an ex-
tensive request, that the prices realized were fully 2s.
above the camence of Tuesday : it was calculated
that about 11,500 casks of Muscovades changed
hands during the week.
A very brisk Sugar market was anticipated this
forenoon : the purchasers came early forward, and
the first sales were at an advance of Is. a 2s. on Fri.
day's prices : as the day advanced, the demand be-
came again general and extensive, and at the close
,of the market a rise of 2r. a 3s. on Friday's, and 4s.
a ss. on last Tuesday's prices, was fully realized :
many parcels taken on speculation last week been re.
sold to-day, at an advance of :;s. a ets. per cwt.
The demand for Havannah and Brazils has been
very considerable, yet them are scarcely any of *Wier
description on sale; any parcels offering would rea-
lize prices 2s. a Ss. above our present quotations;
ismthe Sugars at the late India sale have been sold Si. a
4s. advance, but much higher prices are now de-
anded.

Comet —The prices of Coffee declined 2s. per
cwt. last week. The demand continued very consi
derable until Thursday, when two very extensive
public sales were brought forward ; the request be-
came immediately languid, and every description of
Jamaica Coffee went off 2s. lower. The Dutch, of
which the supply at market seas very plentiful, sold
at a greater depression ; but though the quantity
brought torwatd was extensive, the greater propor.
tion was not clean. Good ordinary Havannah 925.
and 935. ; common quality sold at 89s. acd 89s. Gd.
which had formerly realized 925. and 935.
There were no public sales this forenoon. The
demand by private contract is exceedingly limited;
and in the present state of the market, our reduced
quotation could with difficulty be realized. The ex-
ports last week are, however, very extensive.
IRISH Pawns:one, &c.—There has been a good de-
mand in the Provision market. The purchases of
Beef and Pork are chiefly for the Welt India trade.
Bacon-, without variation. It is reported that the
make of Butter this season is deficient of a usual ave.
rage. The hid' markets maintain a high currency.
Butters here continue in good request, and several
holders anticipate an advance.
Tveacco.—There is no general demand for To.
bacco, even at our reduced quotations. Several or-
ders for export are received, but, we believe, limited
es to price. The only purchase since our last is a,
cargo of Virginia Tobacco at 51s. per 1001 b. mani.
fest weight.
Mex.—There were 2000 bags East India Rice
brought forward on Friday by public sale: the whole
went off freely at 255. Gd. and 265. The quality
was very good. The demand for Rice for exporta-
tion has net been so brisk as formerly.
Coco&.—Cocoa has for a length of time been ne.
glected. The demand appears improving. The
pri.tt:s have lately rated exceedingly low. Forty-two
barrels Trinidad Cocoa, by public sale, went off last
week at 105 s.

Itancio.—The extensive purchase mentioned in our
last excited considerable sensation. The holders of
Indigo declined selling at the former prices; so ex.
tensity a quantity being withdrawn from present sale,
has had the effect of advancing the prices. There
are purchasers of last East India parcels of Indigo
at Is. per lb. premium on the sale prices; the hol-
den generally are asking 15d. per lb.
Asumacau Sxoces.—The American Funds conti-
nue to decline; there are sellers of new Sixper Cents.
at 105.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW:—There has been
great depression in the prices of Tallow. Onr pre-
sent quotations are nearly nominal, on account of the
heavy market. The prices of Hemp and Flax can-
not be stated at much alteration.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HotaaNDs.—The Rum mar-
ket has been heavy, and the prices of Leeward. may
be quoted at Id. per gallon lower. Jamaica descrip.
tion without any variation. Brandies might be pur.
chased at prices a shade lower ; but the letters by the
French Mail this morning bring so high quotations
Irons the other side, that probably the present cur-
rency may be maintained. Gwen is without any
variation.

LATE FIRE AT THE MEDICAL BOARD.—The fire
which broke out at Messrs. COOPXII9S and Co. Sur-
gecas, C.barlotte-street, Blackfriars.road, was caused by a spark;
from a lamp the footman held when shutting op the from parlour,
about nine o'clock. In this room were kept medicines, medical
library, account books, instruments, An. most of were de-
strayed, with the valuable furniture, anatomical dlrattgs, Freya.
redoes, large bronzed figures, and a desk containing upwards of
.45U in notes. k may Item miraculous, the SWIM which idled
the room and even burns the floor, did oat emend further, the
circumatances which prevented so serious a catastrophe ought to
be known :—When the Medical Board was established, a second
or double door, covered with baize, was, for the sake of secrecy,
fixed to every room, and those doors were nearly air tight, this
anal the judicious ct.•.rse pursued, or discovering the fire, saved
the premises. Une of the Medical Gentlemen returning about
twelve o'clock, perceived the room in flames, instantly secured
the double door, gave the alarm called up his daughter, and all
the serrants. Srreral Centimes: kindly lest their aid, who were
furrJthed with buckets filled with water from the reservoir, these
werektiarnwn into the roost through a bole made in the ball door,
until the fire was extinguished. Hadit not been foe this caution and
skilful management, the whole of these extensive prembes would
have been destroyed, and the young Lady, Coachman, and other
servants must have , for if the fire had ranched the stair-
case, nothing c have saved them from the devouring ele-
•snent. We hear the 'Medical Practice L not been its the least
retarded, as all the other apartments were immediately.appro-
