of the public, is not at all favourable to measures of that extent and consequence, which 
could be alone, in any sufficient degree available? Some kind of settlement with dis- 
tracted Ireland, isno doubt at hand, which will have the effect of improving that country, 
and of enabling us to draw from thence still greater and increasing supplies of produce, 
to the constant convenience and emolument of both countries, and the perpetuation of 
their fraternal connection.

MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
Sugars—The demand for Muscovadoes has considerably increased during the present 
week, occasioned no doubt by the general opinion, that no sugars would be offered for sale 
next week on account of the holidays ; this day the certainty of the Colonial market being 
closed all the next week, brought forward all the buyers, and the total sales are estimated 
at 2,200 hogsheads and tierces. The refined market is little varied : there are more buyers 
of refined goods, particularly from prices 32s. and 38s., and for crushing, bastards are also 
in some request for export; there has been some demand for bright yellow Mauritius 
sugars ; all other descriptions have been neglected. 
Coffee—The public sales lately brought forward are quite inconsiderable, and this week 
the only transactions are small parcels of Jamacia and Berbice ; for the home consumption 
the prices have been fully maintained : no sales of foreign coffee are reported. 
Rum—The transactions in rum have not been extensive this week : the sale of Lewards 
we alluded to last was 2 over at 2s. 5d., since which, a largegparcel of 6 over is reported 
at 2s. 6d. ; the other purchases are quite inconsiderable. 
Brandy—tIn brandy or Geneva there is little alteration. 
Hemp, Flax and Tallow—The tallow market was very firm all the week till yesterday, 
when the price rather gave way. In hempand flax there is little variation.
