SUGAR.-The heaviness of the Sugar market'has
continued for such a series of weeks, that the holders
have become more earnest in effecting sales ; the
prices of Muscovades again declined Is. per cwt. to.
wards the close of last week, and the market was
heavy at the _depression ; good Jamaica sold at
1761. Gd. and 775.; browns at 751.; low brown De-
-1 mamas, but dry, 735. 6d.
This forenoon there has been generally little busi.
nets doing, and the market heavy; one house ap.
peered determined to effect sales, anticipating that
the late heaviness eould ultimately occasion a consi-
derable depression; the sales in consequence amount
to nearly 300 Mids. at a further depression of Is. to 2s.
per cwt. good Sug 11.4 751. and 765. a few sold at 744.
the better qualities sold rather higher in proportion.
A public sale of Barbadoes Sugar was brought for.
ward, and, as the finer qualities are rather in request,
the whole went off rather freely, supporting fully the
prices of last week-good white 92 ; middling 89s. and
90s ; the inferior qualities 81s. to 884.
The Refined market was heavy, and the prices de.
clined till towards the close of last week, when the
buyers evinced a renewed desire to purchase, but the
demand appears chisity confined to the home trade,
as the export season is far advanced. Molasses con-
tinued in good request.
The demand lately for Foreign Sugars has been
very limited, and the prices have been generally
giving way. Last /Leek a public sale of savannah,
descriptions was tigegght fertsiald, tr varnishes& of
442 chests ; dingy white, but very strong grain, sold
at 635.; a shade inferior 61s. 6d.; good yellow 50s.
50s. 6d.; brown 48s. to 495. 6d.; generally, the
prices may be stated 3s. to 41. per cwt. loner, and
the sale went off heavily at the reduction.
COFFEE.-The Coffee market contioues to fluctu-
ate, but generally the prices may be slated declining.
The public sales lest week went off at the reduction
of '24. to 3f. per cwt.; 284 begs Havannah, fair qua.
lity, 138 s. to 1405.; 1056 casks and bags ordinary
St. Domingo at 1395. Gd. to 141 s. 6d.
The public sale this forenoon consisted of 163 casks ;
the fine ordinary, middling, and good middling Cof-
fee went off at a further depression of 2s. to 3s. per
cwt.; fine ordinary sold extensively at 1365. and
1365. 6d.; middling at 140 s. to 141 s. 6d. ; and some
parcels, nearly good middling at 1425. 6d.; the sale
went off with some briskness, the ordinary qualities
fully supported the late market prices.
mist) PROVISIONS, &c.-The pikes of Better are
considerably lower, and the market is very heavy at
the decline. Beef and Pork remain steady ; the sr-
rival of the new cannot be expected for some time;
the late close weather will prove unfavourable forth*
curing of the early parcels of Beef end Pork.
Iscrioo.-The prices of Indigo are little varied
since the sale at the India.hoose : several parcels'
hove been sold at a premium of 3d. and a few at 6d.
per lb. ; the market is, however, without briskness.
Ort.s.-The demand for Whale Oil was consider.
able last week ; the request has since given way, end
purchases could be made a shade lower.-Southern
Oil is 11. per on lower, and rather heavy at the de-
cline.-Galipoli has also given way.-In other de-
•scriptions there is little variation.
Toeacco.-The market continues in a very de-
pressed state; parcels are offered on lower terms,
without facilitaliog sales to any extent. No export
orders yet appear; the prices in London being still
high in proportion to the markets of the Continent.
NATAL SToati.-There have been few sales of
Rough Turpentine for some time past, purchases
could, however, be made on lower terms. Spirits
are heavy at the quoted prices. Tar has been in
good demand. Pitch and Rosin remain heavy.
Ilene, FLAX, AND 'CALM:M.-The prices of Tal-
low have given way 2s. to 3s. per cwt.; and the
market is heavy at the decline; for arrival during the
whole season the last price realised is 86s. Hemp
Ws also been purchased on lower terms, and the
market way be stated heavy. Flag is improving.
The letters yesterday from St. Petersburgh state the
Ezettange a little uuder 12d.
Rust, BRANDY, AND ifoLLANua.-There is little
or no business doing in gam ; the quotations are the
last piices paid, but were sales forced in the present
eitnation of the market, they could-not without dub.
culty be realised. Brandy is heavy and declining.
Geneva is without variation.

DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday, about one
o'clock, one of ilia men et work on the repairs of
the Church, at the corner of Gracechurch-street,
