New York Sugar Market.

OF the New York Sugar market. the
Evening Post, of the 14th ult., observes:
''The news from Cuba, per Empire City,
yesterday morning, produced an anxiety on
the part of holders to sell, and about 1900
hhds. Melado, and 1000 hhds. sugar were
sold at a decline of one-fourth cent pei
pound on the prices current on Monday
last. Present prices are about two cents
below those ruling six weeks since. Still
there is but little disposition to buy at the
decline.
s'The crop of Cuba, which it was conf
IDENTIFY predicted up to last month, would
fall short of the previous crop at least TWEEN
ty per cent, viii equal, if not overrun, the
crop of last year; and the coming crop oi
Louisiana now promises to be a very large
one, and intelligent planters, now in this
city, and recently from their plantations,
estimate it viii, with usual good weather,
reach 10000 hhds., against rs, 600 hhds
last year.
''This fact, with an almost double stock
on hand here, and at the neighboring ports,
and double prices over former years, pre-.
vents spectators and consumers from buy
ing freely. This morning the market Is
unsettled, and holders are endeavoring to
effect sales at prices of yesterday. without
success. Thus far no sales have been made.

Free Negroes.

"Steps are being taken IN Virginia to get
up petitions to the next Legislature, asking
that body TO confer upon County Courts
power TO sell free negroes in cases where
those depending on them for support ar
neglected, the money to go to the mainte
nance of their families; or in case of are
fusal to pay their debts, that similar action
be had. This, says Southern paper, is a
commendable move, and will meet hearty
response from the citizens of the State
generally, every portion of which is over
run by idle, trifing, thieving, free negroes,
who incite well-disposed slaves to steal and
to perpetrate other punishable offences
