SUGARs.-The continuous upward move
ment in sugar has been subject OF general
complaint among families and consumers, and
the sugar trade is now in an unsatisfactory
position. The short crop of Louisiana SUI
gars have set the wits of spectators to work,
and great many purchases of foreign sugars
have been made on New Orleans as well as
New York account, to hold for a higher range
OF prices, though prices are very high already.
The tradeis, consequently only supplied from
hand to mouth for immediate consumption /;
yet there have been large and regular arrivals
Of sugar from the Spanish and British West
Indies. The stock of hogshead sugar in New
York at the close OF last week, the Post Is in.
formed was $4,000 hogsheads. This shows
no scarcity Of foreign sugars, if it were on
the market. The deficiency in the receipts
from all points since the lst Of january very
large, though increasing imporations are rap
idly making it up, the high prices attracting
supplies from the British West Indies. The
demand has been contracted in consequence
Of the high prices and consumption is rather
on the decrease, so that, as that journal is
informed, the stock is actually 20, 600 hogs
heads more than last year at this time. Re-
liners will supply themselves from the con-
tinual fresh arrivals while the trade will re .
sort to the spectators.

The CIMMER CoLLIBRY ExPLosIoN.-The
following is condensed statement OF the de-
tails of the terrible explosion at the Cimmer
Coal Mines in England:
alt appears that on Tuesday morning lie
or III men and BOYS went down into the pit.
The two firemen, whose duty it was to exam
inc the pit, to ascertain if there was any foul
air or gas i'll it, reascended at about six o'clock,
pronouncing the pit safe. In less than all
hour aiter-indeed, before some had stripped
off their clothes to commence work the ter
rible gas exploded. and the afrghted people
ran hilher and thither for few moments
Then one fell in the dark, and others stagger-
ing along stumbled ON their dead companion,
and tell dead also. Here some were strus-
Cling amid the tortures of the fire; there
train full of boys, all dead and in other
places, in sidings or inches in the Level, men
had sat down to awit their fearful doom, and
had died with their elbows resting on their
knees end their faces buried in their hands,
Some had struggled forward no doubt hoping
to reach the air ways and possibly to escape
The screams of the wives and mothers at the
mouth of the pit-those women congregated
to wait and recognize the dead--as during the
long interval that ensued between the period
when the first intelligence Of the explosion
spread on tuesday morning TIL the last body
was brought out on the morning Of Wednes-
day-were frightful and distressing. All day
long the brave fellows who ventered down al :
most in the face of death to bring up the dead.
sent up the bodies ofthe unfortunate men and
boys who had persisted, and when these were
brought to the surface, the recognition of 9
beloved husband or darling child awoke bar.
rowing cries. On Wednesday morning the
10th body was brought out, and it was left
to conjecture whether any still lay in the phi
OF death. It was supposed, however, that al
who had persisted were now brought up.
Workmen were Immediately put OH to sup.
ply collins for the dead. There they were
working hastily with the saw and plane L
construct rude shells in which to deposit thu
unfortunate dead in their untimely graves
amid the crowds OF eager people, still waiting
to see the last Of the dreadful catastrophe"

PARTY CoERoIoN.-The Daily Pennsylvania,
edited by Foney, and the particular organ, in
Philadelphia, of Mr.. Buchanan, in its desperate
endeayor 10 the waning fortunes ofits chief,
has resorted to the expedient practced by the
Journal Of Commerce five years ago and has
published a long list of merchants who are at
tached to Republican Association in Philadel.
phia, and denounces them to the South as un-
worthy of its patronage. The object of course,
is to intimidate the merchants of Philadelphia
from sustaining Col. Fremont, by damaging the
business of those who act upon such a conviction
of duty. tits sought to strangle the Judgment
by the purse-strings-to keep merchants in party
subsection by visiting upon them pecuniary losses
as penalty of independent action. The New
York Courier, in noticing this contemplate
dodge OF the Buchaniers and doughfaees, very
truthfully says
1t is too late to renew any such expert
ment IN New York city. The effect of the lit.
tie that was done in that line, five years ago,
has become quite too palpably manifest to per-
init any apprehension of It's repetition. He
that runs may read it in the suhseu uent histo-
ry OF those it was intended to ruin. The very
effort to crush their business only gave it new
life. The explanation is simple enough. The
very deuuncation of certain merchants as un .
worthy of the custom Of the South on &C
count OF their political opinions, served indi
rectlv as an appeal in their favor to the West
and North. 1t advertised their names widely
where their names would have never been
heard of before. and it excited the respect and
the sympathy not only of all political friends,
but Of every lover of manly Independence
The attempt to coerce Northern merchants into
Southern views at that time was an absolute
failure"

The BEE publishes a card from w. Frost,
one of the New Bedford delegates to the late
Faneuil Hall Convention, in which he at
tempts to make the impression that there was
no withdrawal Of Fremont delegates from the
Convention alter the nomination of Governor
Gardner He says "Instead Of delegates
from Bristol County retiring from the Con-
yenton, the delegates from New Bedford vote
for Gardner, Benchley, Clifford, Dewitt, and
Ienney.' We cannot see what this has to do
with the matter. Most if not all, of the del
egates from New Bedford were Fillmore men,
and had voted for King against Baker. The
statement was, that most of the Fremont men
from Bristol County, and some other counties,
quietly withdrew and this statement is COR
rect. On the ballot for Governor 343 votes
were cast, So of the voters being Fillmore
men. On the ballot for Lieut.. Governor there
were only 210 votes. This shows what took
place, and many of those who withdrew have
said to us and others, they left because they
had resolved that they would not support
Governor Gardner.
The whole number Of Fremont men in the
Convention was 30S, as was shown by the
vote for permanent president. From this
number take l0l, and we have lett 207 FIRE.
mont men who voted for Gov. Gardner, to
l0l who voted against him. Those who with
drewhad some consultation among themselves,
and it was stated by some of them that they
would call Peoples Fremont Convention to
nominate both electors and state officers. One
OF the Fremont members of the Faneuil Hall
Convention told us last night that they will
cali such a convention. He said that, eve
give his merds.) The Fremont AInerI-
cans who believe that the lntere SITS of Ameri-
canism and the cause of freedom require the
nomination of an independent state ticket, as
well as a ticket for Presidential electors, will
