Sugar. THE prices of Sugar continued to decline, and the demand to be limited, till towards the close of last month. At this period the market became brisker, and the prices advanced considerably. Inferior qualities, however, are again become dull, but the finer qualities maintain their rise. The grocers have in general been purchasing very freely. Their stocks were greatly reduced; and the certainty that the market was at the lowest ebb, brought them forward to purchase freely. Upon the whole, the demand for Sugar may be stated to be considerable, and the prices greatly better, notwithstanding the daily arrivals from the Colonies. Early in the season the weather changed for the better in the islands, and, to the date of the latest accounts, continuing fine, the crops would be finished in proper time and in good order. The whole supplies for the year will thus be brought to market as early as possible. In Foreign and East India Sugars the demand is limited. Molasses remain steady.Coffee. The market for this article continues subject to great fluctuations. Some weeks ago the demand became extensive, and the prices advanced nearly 10s. per cwt. Again the prices declined to nearly their former standard, and of late the demand has become more extensive, and the prices are again on the advance. The Coffee market may be stated as extremely uncertain and fluctuating. There appears no certain data to calculate either its advance or decline. These vary according to the accounts from the Continent. The market, on the whole, however, may be stated to have improved since our last.Cotton. After an unusual depression, and a long peri gloom and despondence, there is some appearance of a revival in the Cotton market

demand has of late been more considerable, and the prices are a shade higher. But so extensive is the importations, and so great is the stock on hand, that no material improvement can be expected in this article, particularly in the present languid and depressed state of the manufacturing interests. The quantity also expected from the United States, and other places, is very great. The Cotton market, therefore, must remain nearly stationary, or but slowly improve.--Corn. In consequence of the very changeable and unusually cold weather during the month of June, the price of every kind of Grain has advanced. Á few days of warm weather, early this month, threw a damp on the market, which the changeable weather may again remove. The crops, however, in general look well; and though later than last year, still there appears no serious ground for apprehension, that there will be any thing particularly unfavourable in the approaching harvest. The ports are now shut against Foreign Grain.- -Rum. The Rum market has become very heavy. The sale of Geneva is also very dull. The accounts from France, as to the approaching vintage, is unfavourable, and the consequences are expected to be felt in the Brandy market, though the quantity on hand at present is very considerable. In any other article of commerce usually enumerated by us, there is no alteration sufficient to merit notice.

In this publication we had hoped to have been able to have given an account of the revival of trade, and more cheerful prospects for the commercial interests of the country. We are disappointed. The stagnation of all kinds of business continues, and is extreme, perhaps unprecedented. Numerous and severe failures cover the face of the manufacturing districts with distress and dismay, while the dreadful depreciation of all manufacturing property has swept away from thousands the labour and the profits of years. This depre ciation in value amounts in many instances to more than 30 per cent. To attempt to arrest the progress of this consuming evil serves only to aggravate it. Every market is glutted, and confidence is gone at home-money scarce, and only to be procured on the best securities. The most gloomy accounts are daily received from foreign markets. The loss on Cotton, Grain, and Wool, and the very great depreciation on all manufactured goods, if accurately known, and added together, would form a sum scarcely credible. Perhaps it is not overrating the total loss on every kind of trade, on all exports and imports since last year, at fifteen millions. Things, however, cannot remain much longer in their present state. Better days, and more cheerful prospects, are at hand. The trade of this country will resume its usual vigour, and be carried on with greater stability and security. The public funds maintain their value. The revenues of the country increase rather than decrease. The demand from foreign markets is within these few days beginning to revive, and sales of different articles can now be effected. Any hasty revival of trade, however, is scarcely to be expected, and hardly to be wished for; as when the latter becomes the case, it is seldom upon a permanent foundation. The defeat of the marauding expedition of Sir Gregor M'Gregor, has averted great commercial distress from this country. Possession of Porto Bello and Chague would have cut off the whole trade of Jamaica, (almost the only trade now left us,) with all the Spanish possessions on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Across the isthmus of Darien it is all carried, and there the supplies from Jamaica go to Peru and Chili on the south, and the town and western territories of Mexico on the north. Of late years credit has been extended in this trade. The Spanish merchant takes away one cargo on credit, and pays for what he formerly got. Thus, therefore, it may be said, there was a cargo in Peru, &c.-one on the road thereto, and one on the passage from this country, or in Jamaica. All were placed in jeopardy by M'Gregor's operations. The first and second might have been wholly lost, and the last rendered almost useless. The extent of this trade is about two millions annually. The loss of such sum, in the present embarrassed state of commercial affairs, would have been severe indeed. M'Gregor's discomfiture has taken away the danger, and relieved the merchant, manufacturer, and labourer, from an additional and severe load of embarrassment, loss, and distress.
