have been submitted to. From Liverpool the accounts
are still unfavourable : the market heavy, and the prices
quoted . shads; lower.
St.l3.lll.—There is a plentiful supply of new Sugars
at market ; the demand is steady and considerable : there
is no alteration in the prices; some soft Sugars have,
however, been sold at very low rates.—The wholesale
grocers have been very considerable purchasers of Re-
filled Goods for the home constunption of the .country
this week ; there has also been a fair request for pack-
ing. and crushing. tieneraily the market may be stated
very firm, with the appearance of an improvement.—
Flavannah Sugars have declined considerably, good yel-
low selling in large parcels 25%. a•26s. 6.1.

languid state this week, that only two inconsiderable
public sales have .teen brought forward since 'Tuesday

cask, 214 bags; the first lets were ordinary middling
Demerara, not clean, and sold at 1295. anal 64., the

'considerable improvement in the demand for. Rum

fisply, few parcels could be purchased without sub
nutting to higher prices.. kit Geneva there is no al-
teration.

I tO,

A melancholy accident occurred on Thursday even-
ing, between fire and six o'clock, and which has
involved a whole family in the deepest affliction.
The swo sons of Mr. Cooper, of Stainford-street.
the elder ten years of age, the younger just turned seven,
slipped away from home, their mother within the last
few days having been confined. The elder boy having.
a toy boat, went down to the river side above Illackfriars
Bridge, to sail it, accompanied by his brother ; they got
on board a barge at its moorings, and occupied &ens.
selves the one putting the toy boat into the river at one
end of the barge, and the other catching it at the other
end. The younger boy, Master Frederick, a most inter-
esting child, lost his balance, pitched over, anal sunk to
rise no more. The elder brother called out to the water-
pen who were close by, when John Lewis, Samuel Dell,
AnsUsilin Brown rendered every prompt assistance ja
their power, but they could not recover the limb, before
the vital spark was extinguished, never to be recalled.
On the 21st inst. Mr. Joseph Jeens, clothier,. of
L'ley, Gloucestershire, was convicted before the Bev.
W. L. Raker and W. M. Adey. Esq. in the mitigated
penalty of 111/. for paying to John Austin, a work-
man in his employ, shop goods fee his wages, in lieu
of money, contrary to the statute.—(Butte Chroiskle..)
It is so much the practice of those who have vidideany
discoveries, from which they hope advantage by *WI(
diem before the public, to speak in the most 'extrsva-
t gatst terms of their merits, that the discerning hesitate
to patronise them, lest they should become the cictiuts
of quackery. A similar prejudice operates against the
honest dealer, who, conscious of the superiority of the
commodity which he supplies, and satisfied with a mo-
derate profit, looks for remuneration in an extension of
his business. Mr. Cii,‘PMAN, however, seems -to enjoy
an ample share of public confidence ; but to meet the
objections of the most fastidious who may wish to pur-
chase his ALE and BEER, yet doehts its genuineness, he
has made an affidavit, of which 'the following is a copy:
Sworn at the Alansion-house, before the Lord Mayor:--11
u It. CH A P3I AN, of Bagnigge Wells Brewery, in the pariehe:
of St. Pancras, in the County: of Middlesex, Ale, Tata-
Ale, and Table-Beer Brewer, makeih oath, and said).
that his Ale, Table-Ale,
.and Table-Beer, arc brewed
