COTTON.-The Cotton market has been exceedingly
heavy ; the late extensive sale at the India-house, and
Nettie/ very largearrlvels, have hArl a very unfavour-
able effect: since the commencement of this month
the arrivals of Bengal, are 16.000 bales, and 6,000
of Surat: towards another sale, but no declaration
hes yet been•mentioned. The holders of East India
Colton in several instances showed a great disposition
to force sales last week, and about 1,505 Berrgais and
400 Sums were in fib.co disposed of at a de-
cline of id„ ro id per on the last East India sale
_prices; the payment was, however, to be made its
cash to meet the prompt of the last India sale. Per-
nambuco at 2s. 241.; 100 Demararas at 25.; and a few
common West India 18d. to 20d.
Livetteoor,, Sgrr. 26.-The principal business
done in our Cotton market this week, has been at
the large public sales, which took place yesterday ;
the dealers having delayed buying, in the expectation
that some decline might then take place. There were
brought forward-4,008 Bengali, of which 1,216
were sold at old. to 10d, for ordinary to fair quality ;
440 Suiats, of which 60 only were sold at 14d. to
14+d.; 1,386 Demararas, of which 1,162 were sold
it %ld. to 22id. for middling to fair, 23d. to 2s. op.
good fair to good,-21. lid. to 2s. 21(1. for clean and hire
marks; 1,460 Orleans and Tenesseet, of which 810
sold at 174 d. to 19d. for very inferior to
201 d. to 224 d. for fair to good, and 40 West Indies
18 d. to 201,1. The sales went off heavily, the Or-
loins at a decline of id. to 4d., the Bengali and De-
ronararas about id. per lb. below the previou4 prices
rTlie sales by private contract consist of 1,050 Bo weds
Aod. to 21(1. for middling to good fair, and a few
*Pry good 211 d. to 214 d. ; 250 Orleans 204-11. to
4541. for •

to Ss.; •130 Bahia. 230. to 2.. aid.; 50 Minas
23d.; 20 Barbadoes 204 d. to Up.; 140 Bengali
rP. to 14d., making, including those sold by auc-
re, a total of about 5,500 bags. The arrivals are
po4 bags.
SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovadee continued
very limited during the last week ; the few purchases
made were not at quite so low rates as the public
sale of Tuesday last ; the decline was, however,
fully 1.. per cwt. and the purchasers bought only
small parcels in the anticipation of a further depres-
sion.
The Refined market gave way Is. to 2s. last week,
and the sale: were not brisk at the depression; con-
siderable parcels of goods were reported coming for-
ward, which, with.the limited demand, occasioned
a heavy market. .
CoVitit.-The ffiblic sales of Coffee went off
heavily early list week, much about the previous cur-
rency, with the exception of middling and good
Middling Dothinica, which went off 24. to_34. lower ;
on Friday the ordinary qualities of Jamaica went off
heavily at the depression of 2s. per cw t.
At the East India-house last week, 996 bags
of Coffee; Sumatra sold 140 s. to 142 a. ad.; Mocha
160 s. a 16314
From the continued heaviness of Coffee, a great
proportion of the holders had become alarmed, and ra.
Cher considerable purchases were reported to be made
privately at very reduced prices, particularly St.
Domingo Coffee, which bed formerly been selected
..for speculation ; the finest of that 'description was
disposed of at 1441. ; the prices since have materially
declined, good ordinary St. Domingo being sold at
140 s. and 1.101..6d. ; fine ordinary Jamaica was also
tutted to be sold at 138 s. : from these appearancea of
a decline, a material depression was expected to be
confirmed by to-day's public sale, and if it may be
taken es dz fair criterion, the Coffee market mast be
stated at a reduction of 6s. to 10s. per cwt.
IRISH PROVISIONS, &c.-There is little variation
in the 'prices of "Beef and Pork since our last ; a
general opinion is entertained that there will be little
fluctuation during the season.-Bacon is in limited
request, as usual at this season ; there is little of
good quality remaining.-Butters have given way
very materially, and the market is still heavy at the
depression-by public sale last week-652 firkins
French Butter, 107 s. to I 1 ls. ; 110 bales singed
econ, 745. 6d. and 755.; and 625. Gd. to 655.
NAVA;. STORES.-There has little business been
done lately in Rough Turpentine; Spirits continue
`l4t4t- vy.-:gsveral parcels of the late arrivals of Tar
bsve'been sold at 20s. 6d.; the holders generally ask
our highest quotations.-In Pitch or Rosin there is
ao variation.
Ott.-The price; of Whale Oil are again higher,
and a'general opinion is entertained that the prices
mill atilt advance ; the consumption is generally be-
. 14,4 if 410 effected by the prices of 'fallow ; the
latter are exceedingly bleb.-Linseed Oil may be

Hi r, Foie, AND TAu.ow.-The prices of Tal-
low
coatings to fluctuate greatly ; Yellow Candle 11
Tallow remained about 925. for parcels here, and
Ws. for arrival during the season till Friday, when
*further considerable advance took place ; several
parcels were sold 935. and 945. and the holders *ere
asking our highest quotation, but we believe the
-highest inserted rate has not yet been realised : fur
ordeal during the year, 91s. and 925. were in seve-
ral instances paid, but the great advance has consi-
derably checked the request; the market may be
,stated heavy at the ;needed currency. The Tows;

BOXING.

.......NE;M•••••-

A battle, which excited much interest in town and
country, was fought on Tuesday, on the DOW 1114
near Marshfield, between Cabbage, of Bristol, and.!
Abraham Newton, the Scroggins and Windsl of the
provincial borers, for 100 guineas aside ; the former
being blicked by an Amateur Clergyman, and the
latter by subscription. The combat took place in a
24 feet ring, and the spectators may be fairly com-
puted at 30,000, so mach was the ansiety on the oc.
vision. Cabbage had conquered all.borear.blm, and
he is considered a better man of his vieigbt than any
the London ring can produce. Newton had beat
Ford, Bristol Hall, and others of note, and he too
was considered a nonpareil, but he bad trained off
the last two or three years by serving too much at
his bar. Cribb and Young Peeve, brother of the
Game Chicken, seconded Cabbage; and Bob Wat.
son atoll another seconded Newton. Betting !Tem
