Jamaica coffee sold with some briskness at an advance of 2s. a 3s. per cwt. The public sale on Friday consisted of Havannah coffee, which was all withdrawn, fine ordinary at 119s. good ordinary 117s. 6d. ; there were offers at 117s. 6d. for the former, which is nearly the present price by private contract: generally, foreign coffee may be stated heavy; British Plantation in good demand, at the advance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt.

At the East India sale, on Tuesday, 1521 bags of coffee all sold at a considerable advance. There is scarcely any Mocha left unsold.

Indigo. The prices of indigo are little varied, and the market will probably continue without interest until the result of the sale at the India House transpires: the general premium on the purchases of last sale is 2d. a 3d. per lb. In the warehouses, sold and unsold, it is estimated there are 13,000 chests.

Spices, &c.-The India Company have declared for sale 13th August, Company's Cinnamon..130,000 lb. Nutmegs

Tea. At the East India sale, which finished last week, Bohea sold at 2s. 34d. to 2s. 4d. (d. to 1d. higher than last sale.) Common Congou 2s. 6d. a 2s. 7§d. (ld. to 14d. higher); and finer sorts 2s. 7d. a 3s. (ld. lower than last sale.) Since the sale, Boheas have realised prices a shade higher, 28. 4d. being now the lowest market price. Rum, Brandy, and Hollands.-The rum market is exceedingly heavy, on account of the considerable arrivals, and several parcels have been forced on sale; parcels of low Leewards, 300 puncheons, have been sold at 1s. 4d.; the general price, however, cannot be stated so low; very inferior Jamaica 1s. 9d. with the exception of these parcels forced upon the market, the purchases are inconsiderable.-Brandy is still held with much firmness, but few sales are reported; Cognac, best marks 3s. 4d. a 3s. 6d., other marks 3s. a 3s. 2d.

Hemp, Flax, and Tallow.--The prices of tallow are a shade lower since Tuesday last, and notwithstanding the principal holders will not sell at the present rates, yet the market continues languid and declining. In hemp or flax there is little alteration.

FOREIGN COMMERCE.

St. Petersburg, 28th May.-Above 200 vessels, the greater part with goods, have already arrived; but only a small part of their cargoes is yet at market, as the unloading goes on rather slowly. English refined sugars C. B. are sold at 50 r., H. D. at 51 r. (payment weekly); fine Havannah

coffee 58 a 59 r., white Havannah sugars at 30 r. with 10 r. earnest, and at 31 r. with 5 r. earnest; the remainder payable in four months. Manilla sugars at 20 r. payable in six months.-Tallow. From 200 to 250,000 poods have been sold. Yellow, on the spot, 155 r. for delivery, 150 r. all down; soap tallow 136 r. to 137 r. for that on the spot, 133 r. for delivery. In white,' hardly any thing doing; may be had at 140 r.-Hemp. 500,000 poods have been sold; mostly such as is on the spot; because the chief purchasers, the Americans, are not willing or able to wait for the arrivals of the new article.-Hemp Oil. 300,000 poods have been purchased; of which, at least, 100,000 poods on speculation to sell again. This article is now dull, and might probably be had at 94 r.-Flax. On the whole, 100,000 poods have been sold. Nothing has been done this fortnight: 12 head is not to be bought under 150 r. all paid down, or 155 r. with earnest; and 9 head not under 125 r. with earnest, or 120 r. all down.-Bristles. Our stock is small, and the demand great; so that 80 r. to 85 r. are willingly given for the first sort, 22 r. to 23 r. for the second, 27 r. to 37 r. for Souchay, and 120 r. for Akalkas.— Horse-tails. The first sort, last sold at 55 r., is not to be had; for the second sort, which is still more in demand, 22 r. to 23 r. according to quality, have been given. Yellow Wax. Not in much demand, and therefore to be had at the very reasonable price of 72 r.-Linseed. Some purchases for English account, have been made at 28 r. to 32 r., according to quality.

Riga, 25th May.-Hemp. It seems there is very little clean at market, and this sort being the most in request, our good Ukraine has been bought at 112 r. As the quantity of outshot at market is, of course, large in proportion as that of clean is small, it is probable the price will fall. -Flax is not lower, but there seems to be little demand.Tallow. Yellow crown, 155 r. June 1. The prices are unchanged. There has been a brisk demand for hemp this week but nothing doing on flax. Hemp-oil is held at 97r. Pot-ashes have been sold at 97r. at which price there are purchasers, but 100 r. are now asked. Refined Sugars have been little enquired for this week. Hamburgh middling held at 30 cop. but only 29 cop. offered. Havannah sugars white middling have been sold at 19 cop. yellow at 13 cop. for four months' credit 16 cop. ready money are offered, and 16 cop. asked for Brazil white.-Salt. Terravecchia 65 r. Cadiz 52r. St. Ubez 56 to 57 r. St Martin or Noirmoutier greyish, 46 to 47s. fine Liverpool, (being scarce) 58 to 60, Liverpool rock salt 80 r. per last of 18 barrels.

Humburgh, Jane 9.-Coffee. There has

been a good demand, and the prices continue steady-Sugar. This week there has been a tolerable demand for Hamburgh refined. The fixed price for good ordinary is 134, which may be taken as a standard for the other sorts. Lumps of good middle quality remain steady at 11d. Very little has been doing in raw sugars, except a large parcel of Brazil brown at 73. Yellow and brown Havannah are in no request, and several parcels of mixed quality might be had at 8d.; but white, of which the stock is small, especially of dry middle quality, is in demand at 124d. to 13d.

June 16.-Coffee. Owing to a pretty brisk demand the prices are still firmer. Sugar. There has been a good deal doing in our refined this week, and the prices of the finer descriptions are a little higher. Raw goods as before: fine white, being scarce, is in demand, and steady in price, and the inferior sorts dull, we having an abundant supply.

Odessa, May 30.- The Turkish go. sailed from this port since the middle of vernment have stopped all ships that have April, without distinction of flags, and obliged them to deliver their cargoes (of wheat) into the corn magazines of Constantinople, on receipt of their value at the the populace, who were enraged at the capmarket price. This is probably to appease proceeding, however, injures our trade, ture of 6 corn ships from Egypt. This and leads to unpleasant differences with the Spanish, Danish and Italian houses, who have ordered this corn. various nations, one with the flag of Jeru191 ships of salem, have arrived here from January to April. Sailed 102.

ceived from all parts of the kingdom, of Spain, June 11-Complaints are rethe increase of smuggling, which is carried on by main force, and in open day, in spite of all the vigilance and activity of the officers.
