there was a public sale of 377 hogsheads of St. Lucia, of fair quality; the whole sold about 1s. per cwt. lower than the previous market prices; the greater proportion, 58s. to 598.; a few parcels ordinary, 56s. 6d. to 57s. 6d. ; a few lots coloury, 60s. to 62s. The demand by private contract has since been languid, and the reduction of 1s. has been generally submitted to; even at this depression, the market is exceedingly heavy.

The demand for refined goods has been pretty steady throughout the month; and the supply having been at times inadequate to the demand, the prices, of low goods especially, have remained firm; but as the holders have evinced every disposition to meet the buyers, the prices did not rise; indeed, they rather declined about the middle of the month, except loaves, which were more in request.

There have been considerable sales of foreign sugars this month; but the prices have been in general low, and several parcels have been withdrawn for want of buy ers: this has happened this week with two parcels of Havannah, which were withdrawn; middling white at 54s.; good yellow 35s.;-75 chests Brazil sold; yellow, 30s. to 32s.; brown, 24s. 6d. to 27s. 6d.; the latter inferior and soft: in fact the demand for foreign sugars seems wholly to have subsided. Much interest is excited by the comparison of the present stock, which is much less than at the same season

Cotton. The cotton market, for a fortnight after the date of our last report, was in a state of languor approaching to nearly total stagnation, on account of the announcement of a sale at the India House, for the 13th instant, extensive beyond all precedent; it consisting of 53,000 bags.There was a large attendance of country buyers, in expectation of purchasing on very low terms: but, contrary to expectation, the previous prices were nearly supported. Surats were much in demand; but the holders took in almost the whole at prices which the buyers would not accede to. The following are the particulars of this remarkable and important sale :

FOREIGN COMMERCE.

St. Petersburg, 22d Sept.-Flax. Large purchases have at length been made again at 150 r. but since then the market is duller.. 130 r. have been paid for 9 hd. and this price is still asked, but there are no buyers. Good Tow is scarce, and not to be had under 40 r. -Hemp. The demand having been inconsiderable for some time, the prices have fallen, but without causing more request: ungeköpfter clean, is offered at 86 r, best 88, geköpfter at 90, but the last meets no buyers. Outshot 73 to 75 r. Ungeköpfter half clean has been sold at 60 r., but geköpfter remains at 65.-Tow being scarce is held at 42, and paid for at that price. Hemp-oil, though lately sold readily at 1010 copecs, is now held at 1015; but no more than 1010 are offered.-Potashes. After a long stagnation, 400 casks have been bought mostly for Holland at 81.-Tallow, having been long dull of sale, has fallen a little, which has induced considerable purchases; the owners, contrary to custom in such cases, not having raised the price. Yellow was bought at 166 r. Soap 148 r. Casan 153 r.; no demand for white, which the owners held at the former price of 160 r. Corn entirely without demand. Rye offered at 13, without buyers; best wheat has been sold at 22 r. and may be readily had at 20 to 22 r.; according to quality.. Hare-skins. In this article too, little is doing picked grey are worth 2000 r. and cannot be had under.-Grey, 1st sort, meet no buyers at the last price of 1650 r.: white may be had for 360. Manufactures have been largely purchased, chiefly for America: but the sale has rather slackened of late. In import articles little is doing.

Riga, 29th September.-Flax is în tolerable demand, notwithstanding the fresh supplies. Purchases may be made at the following prices. Marienburgh Crown 52 r. ditto cut 45 r. Thies and Druiania Rackitzer, white 48 to 49 r.; grey 47 r. ; cut Badstub, white 43 to 44 r.; grey 40 to 4. Ristenthreeband 35 to 36 r.; Tow 16-Hemp may be had as follows; clean Polish 106 r.; ditto Ukraine 103 to 104 r; Polish outshot 92 to 93 r.; Ukraine ditto 78 to 80 r.; Polish Pass 82 to 83 r.; Russian ditto 68 to 70 r.; Black ditto 57. Torse 48-Seeds. New sowing Linseed has been sold 7 to 74r.; according to quality, and there remained buyers at the first price, but the holders would not sell on these terms. 6 r. has been paid for old sowing

Linseed, and 6 to 64 r. for Druiania Linseed weighing 112 to 114lbs.-Corn, not much in request, but heavy qualities are Tobacco. Polish crown in leaves, of which still sold sometimes at the old prices. our stock is small, may be had at 47 to 50 r.. according to quality.Tallow. We have no white crown; yellow may be had at 180 to 185 r. Soap at 153 r.

Danzig, 26th Sept.-Corn. High-mixed wheat is noted at 400 to 430 fl. red-mixed 340 to 360 fl. Rye 190 to 210 fl. Barley 130 fl. Oats 140 to 150 fl.; but so little is doing that these prices may be considered as nominal.

Coffee is getting dearer, and will probablyTM rise still higher, if, as may be expected, larger purchases should be made for Poland.

Hamburgh, 7th Oct. Cotton. There has been little doing this week, but the prices being very low, an improvement in the demand may be expected. Coffee has declined a little this week, for want of demand.-Tea of all descriptions firmly maintains its price.-Sugars. After the prices of Hamburgh refined had declined 4d, the demand was brisk, and sales pretty extensive. Lumps of fine strong middling quality were sold at 11 to 11gd, so that this description has declined only d; and the owners mostly held it at higher rates, but.. probably without success, as our manufac tories begin to relax very much in their operations. There is but very little raw Sugar of a quality suitable for our refineries, so that the sale has been trifling with out change of price. A large parcel of brown Brazil has been purchased at 84d. Corn of every description is very dull of sale.

It

Francfort, 9th Oct.-Our autumnal fair is over, and has been very animated. As the Brunswick fair had turned out very well, we hoped that ours would do the same. An immense quantity of goods has been sold, but many persons doubt whether the sellers have reason to be well satisfied. is, however, certain that large quantities of goods left unsold at Easter have been sold, and that many warehouses which were crowded are now empty. The buyers appeared at the very outset, and the sellers being disposed to agree to any thing like reasonable prices, a great deal of business was done without delay. The supply of Cotton goods was very great. At the Easter fair, the English goods having been detained first by contrary winds at sea, and afterward by the bad state of the roads from Hamburgh to Francfort, did not arrive till towards the latter end of the fair, so that the business was chiefly done by pattern. Now the English goods arrived in good time, and met with extensive demand. But the Swiss and Saxon cotton manufactures, likewise met with a ready sale, and many of the Swiss and Saxon manufacturers were s

able to return home in the first week, having sold their whole stock. Of some articles there was not sufficient for the demand, and many buyers were obliged to seek what they wanted in the English warehouses, the Swiss and Saxon goods being all cleared off. Silk goods were likewise in request; as also woollen cloths and stuffs, especially of middling qualities; but the manufacturers complained of the low prices. Wool was low as at the last fair, but the sellers did not hold back as they did then, because it was clear that wool was not likely to improve in price. Leather, especially Sole leather was in great request, and the Netherlanders sold their whole stock in the first week. Iron and Steel goods were not much in demand. French perfumery, hardware, &c. sold as usual. Of Linen and Hemp cloth there was great abundance; and some large parcels of Bielefeld, Swa bian, Swiss and Bohemian were sold. There was not much inquiry, for Irish, though several of our Merchants have it in commission. Colonial produce was low during the whole fair. There was inquiry for wine; but the holders would not sell at the prices offered. Very low prices were offered for brandy.

Leipsig, 25th Sept.-Our fair has began in a very satisfactory manner, and we have only to hope it may continue so. We: have many Greek, Moldavian, Wallachian, Polish, and Russian merchants. There are many Jews; and also a great number of English, French, and Dutch. Much busi ness was done last week..

Genoa, 10th Oct. But little has been doing in our free port this week: the only sale of consequence was 750 bags of Maragnan Cocoa at 13s. 6d. per lb. which has much reduced our stock of this article and raised the pretension of the holders, who now ask 15d. Good Guayaquil may be had at 14d.; but Maragnan, though of inferior quality, is preferred at a higher price. Sugars keep up, and are likely to rise, from the interruption of the supplies, which causes a deficiency in our Entrepôt. Coffee is in the same extensive demand as it has been some time; other articles are without interest. Little is doing in Corn for want of foreign orders: the holders are however firm, in hopes of doing better in winter, which seems not improbable. The prices in the Black Sea are very high, and ours very low, so that we cannot expect constant supplies. In this uncertainty our factors have turned their attention to Sar. dinia; from which island several cargoes have already, arrived; their wheat is far superior to that of Taganrog. If the inha bitants applied more to agriculture, the State would save the enormous sums which we annually send abroad for Corn for the supply of the Duchy..

Since the French government has imposed

the heavy tonnage duty on the vessels of the United States, many of them have come to Nice, to unship their cargoes into other vessels not liable to the duty.

Naples, 4th Oct. The transactions in colonial goods are not important; but Coffee, though there has been no considerable sales, maintains its price. Buenos Ayres hides are very scarce and much sought; the heat has been so great this summer that our fields are quite scorched. The crops of Pulse, Turkey Corn, &c. have failed entirely. We shall not have one. third as much wine as last year, but the quality will be excellent.

Odessa, 14th Sept.-We much fear that the consignments of corn from Poland will be very small this year. We shall hardly have sufficient to execute the orders which arrive; and the prices are consequently rising, and will be very high in Spring if large orders should come from abroad. The harvest in our neighbourhood is extremely bad, and the quality very indifferent. Co lonial produce maintains a good price.

No premium or gratuity, or abatement of the duties to encourage the importation or exportation of any article, will be granted.

National and foreign merchandise of all kinds, not prohibited, shall circulate freely within the line of the Counter Register offices, without the necessity of registers (or passports).
