West Inp1zs.—There have becn many fresh arrivals from the islands within the current 
month, but the cargoes, we are sorry to state, came tua very indifferent market, Sugars con- 
tinue dull in the London market, and at Liverpool they have fallen considerably within the 
course of a few weeks. Our present: prices are: Jamaica and St. Lucia, 31. 15s. to 41. 5s. ; 
Barbadoes, 31. 15s. to 4 guineas ; Montserrat, 31. 17s. to 41. 6s.; and Barbadoes (clayed), 51. 
to 51.42s. percwt. The demand for Jamaica rum is pretty regular. Leeward Island is alse 
Booked for, in order to the supply of the navy contract. The former fetches from 4s. 4d. to 
6s. 4d. per gallon; and the latter from 3s. 8d. to 4s. 4d. Little business has been done in 
the Lendon cotton market of late, bus at Liverpool the sales are tolerably brisk, owing to the 
spinners purchasing rather freely. Jamaica cotton-wool sells at 1s. 5d, to 1s. 6d.; Barbadoes, 
$s. 6d. to 1s. 8d. ; Tobago, 1s. 6d. to 1s. 9d. 53 and Grenada, 1s. 9d. to 2s. per lb. Logwood 
i3 much in cen,aud for exportation, its present prices are: for Honduras (chipt), 401. to 431.5 - 
and for Jamaica ditto, 371. to 381. 10s. per ton; the price of the unchipt is uncertain. Fus- 
tick is dul! of sale, it fetches from 2zl. to 231. 10s. per ton.. Jamaica white ginger, brings 
frum 5 guineas to9l.; and the black, from 31. 18s. to 41. 6s. 3; that of Barbadoes, from 41. 11s, 
te 41. ts. per cwé. 
Norrx AMeERIcA.—It gives us pleasure to find that the American govermment seems 
disinclined to adopt those hatsh measures which it so lately contemplated. Mr. Macon’s 
Jong threatened prohibitory bill it appears was, after a long delay in the Senate, returned to 
the House of Representatives, with which it originated, with amendments: these amend- 
ments were refused, and so the measure is again to go through the usual stages. Several 
American merchants are ef opinion, that the bill will not, in its present form, ultimately 
be suffered to pass into a law; a supposition which is, in some sort, supported by the late 
symptoms of disagreement which have zppeared between the court of France and the Ame- 
rican legislature. Fhe arrivals from North America within the last month, have not beer ~ 
le8s frequent than in the preceding. Genesally speakitg, the commodities of North Ame- 
vica sell well in our markets. Tallow has been sold a little lower, but there now appears a 
pretty gencral expectativn that this article will ere long improve. The demand for tobacco 
#s suspended. Maryland, of different qualities, is quoted from 5d. to 16d. the former being 
the price of scrubs, and the latter that of fine yellow; Virginia, from 9d. to 11d. per lb, 
Wax, feiches from 15].15s. to 141. 10s. per cwt. New Orleans cotton-wool, is 54d. to 
4s. 7d. per lb. Ashes are eather dull both im the London and in the Liverpool m.arkets, 
Pcr-ashes sell from 21. 10s. to 3}. 19s.3 Pearl ditto from 21. 14s. to 3!, 10s. per cwt. Wheat 
and flour, are dull and tow. Tar, 11. 18s. to 21. per barrel. Pitch, 15s. to 16s. per cwt. 
“Ozk, 341. to 181. 40s.; ditto plank, from 111 10s. to 151. per last. 
Soutu AmMzaica.—By a private letter from Buenos Ayres, we learn that that port is 
only partially opened to the British. ‘The viceroy has adopted the measure with the con- 
currence of the Junta; and it is said that it will merely be of a temporary nature. The 
permission to enter the port extends only to the ships now there. Trade is véry bad at 
Buenos Ayres, and the Spaniards are wonderfully alert in looking after-smugglers. Our 
correspondent states that a gentleman lately lust 100,000 dollars by a seizure. Buenos Ayres 
tallow is considered a tolerably saleable article in the London market ; it fetches from 31. 7s. 
to 31. 8s. per cwt. Brazil roil-tobacco, sells well at 9d. and 10d.; and leaf ditto, ditto, at 
5d. and 6d. per Ib. Buenos Ayres hides, 73d: to 1s. per lb. Brazil «sod, 1421. to 150]. and ~
