PRODUCE.—Our Market during the week has
been dull, and transactions very limited, SUGAR
being the only article in which a moderate business
was done without a further decline in prices having
to be submitted to. MOLASSES have been lower,
and we have to quote a decline of is. on recent
rates. COFFEE has been without change. RICE,
we note in steady demand, at 10s. 6d. to 1 Is. per
cwt. for Middling to fine Bengal. The TE A Market
may be quoted inactive, and at the Public Sales of
Thursday 1200 packages of fair scented Orange
Pekoes and Gunpowder were sold at prices in
favour of the buyers. A limited business has been
done in DYENVOODS.—TO-DAY, including the
business of Saturday, the sales in SUGAR comprise
80 hhds. Jamaica, at 31s. 6d. to 345. ; 140 hhds.
Antigua, at 31s. 3d. to 323. 91; 40 hhds. Demerara,

6d. ; 450 bags low Bengal, at 255. to 28s. ;
800 bags middling white Benares, at 375. 6d.;
3000 bags Dates, at 325. 6d. ; and 500 bags Madras,
at 275. per cwt. There is nothing to notice in
MOLASSES. Of RuM, 30 puns. Demerara have
realised previous rates. The TEA market is rather
inactive; common Congou may be quoted Bd. to
Sid. per lb., and rather heavy of sale. 200 bags
SALTPETRE are reported at 28s. 3d. per cwt., 7
per cent refraction ; 12 chests LAC DYE (B Mirza-
pore), at ls. 11d.; 25 cases CASTOR OIL, at 371->d.
per lb.; and 20 bales first-class damaged Manilla
HEMP, at £42 per ton.
CovroN.—Owing .to accounts brought by the
Canada of some unfavourable weather at Mobile,
there was a little speculative excitement in the early
part of the week, but abated at the close, ordinary
American sorts having, however, recovered the Ad.
of a lb. decline, which had been submitted to the
previous week. The sales amounted to 46,850
bales, of which 16,110 American, 80 Bahia, 980
Egyptian, and 300 Surat were taken on speculation;
930 American, 220 Pernam, 80 Bahia, 40 Egyptian,

and 1780 Surat for exportation.
To•DAY.—The market has remained steady since
the publication of the weekly reports. The daily
sales are from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, speculators and
exporters taking from 1,000 to 2,000. There is no
change in prices, and the market closes with a
steady but quiet feeling. The Asia's advices have
not affected the market, although they are deemed
in favour of the buyer.
GRAIN AND FLOUR.—This market has been
quiet during the week. Good Wheat is worth
previous rates, and choice Flour is scarce and in de-
mand. Inferior sorts of all kinds of grain and
flour are in favour of the buyer.

CITURCEI PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The annual meet-
ing of the Tranmere Auxiliary Association of the above
society was held last evening, at the Britannia-rooms,
Lower Tranmere, when a highly respectable auditory as-
sembled to hear addresses from the Revs. Dr. Baylee, B.
Ar;hure, and A. P. Trwine, district secretary for the pa-
rent society. On Sunday last, sermons were preached by
the latter reverend gentleman in St. Catherine's Church,

Tranmere, on behalf of the society, which produced under
the insignificant sum of £9; a tardy response by such a
congregation, especially when it is considered what benefit
this district derives from the Church Pastoral Aid So-
ciety's funds.
TILE AURORA BOREALIS.—On Friday evening last, a

very striking display of this b

atiful phenomenon took

at Tranmere, says that—" The display commenced about
half-past seven o'clock, at which time, and for some hours
afterwards, the appearance of the sky towards the north-
ward and westward was that of a dense black cloud,
surmounted by a perfect arch of light, extending entirely
across the horizon. About eleven o'clock the arch

THE HART'

MARKETS.—The ban'

now be regaaded as secured in all parts of the country,
with the exception of the extreme northern points of
Donegal, Derry, and Antrim. From even these three
counties we have this morning cheerful accounts of
" harvest home" festivities. The grain crops in general
are turning out quite to the satisfaction of the farmers.
There is no rumour of either blight or smut. Oats are
particularly fine in quality and abundant in quantity—a

blessing for which the country cannot be sufficiently grate-
ful to Divine Providence, seeing the rapid decay which
has set in in the potato crop. With respect to the pota-
toes, however, no precise opinion, with respect to the en-
tire crop can been given, as in some parts near Dublin
whole fields are abandoned as not worth the expense of
being dug, while within a stone's throw of them plenty of
good sound tubers continue to be turned up. 'Tis so
throughout the country. On the whole we should say
the blight is extending in every direction.
EI,OPEMENT AND ROBBERY. COWES, ISLE OF
WIGHT, SErr. 17.—The tact of our police was put to
the test on Thursday. and they dashed off in different
directions in quest of Mr. Kernot, jun., on the informa-
tion of his mother that he had gone off with the servant
girl, and had stolen a deposit note of hers for £6OO. The
fact came to light by his having tried to obtain the day
before £2OO from the Hampshire Bank, part of the £6OO.
stating that his mother had lost the deposit note, and
requesting that another might be sent for £lOO and £2OO
in cash. Finding that this trick would not succeed, he
got nossession of the note, and went off to Newport,
where lie obtained the £2OO, and deposited the note.
The letter from the bank having reached Mrs. Kernot,
she immediately went home to see that the deposit note
was safe where she had placed it, but found that it was
gone. Suspecting that her son had stolen it, she gave
information to the police, and Serjeant White, who had
taken the Ryde road, posted himself on the pier.
Steamer after steamer left, but Dr. Charles Middleton
Kernot's hopeful son did not make his appearance; but
just before the last steamer's time was up (eight o'clock
pan.,) Mr. Henry Kernot and Miss Cutler presented
themselves, little thinking how soon the career of love
searched,
fugitives
and happiness would end. The young gentleman was
handed by the police into the toll-house, and immediately

the reply, "Dot as I knows on but I've been waxinated."
