pest, has, among many other gentlemen, published his opinions upon Mr. Sutton's pamphlet, which, as it respects this insect, is totally at variance with Mr. Sutton's. Mr. Paul states, that having reared this insect, and observed it closely through its principal states of existence, he is led to doubt the probability of so immediate a growth into life and vigorous action as Mr. Sutton's progress implies, and the rather because the fly always begins its ravages on one side of a field, never in the middle, and pursues its course in a well-defined line from the part whence it sets out, marking its course by the destruction it makes. Mr. Paul states finally, that he shall endeavour to ascertain the habits of the insect; but from the above observations he is led to suppose that it does not deposit its eggs over the face of the field, but in some retired spot, as hedge-rows, &c.-Mr. Sutton states, that the insect is incapable of flying from one field to the other. This point is contradicted by several agriculturists, who expressly state that they have not only seen them fly, but have observed them in gardens, to which they could not have obtained access without flying. Sulphur mixed with sea-sand at the rate of three bushels of sand and three pounds of sulphur per acre, has been recommended.-Unslacked lime, pulverised, and spread over the plants when the fly is upon them, to be sown either night or day, the former the most preferable, is also mentioned as a remedy-This however has not been a season very favourable to Mr. Sutton's plan, which cannot therefore be said to have had a fair experiment.

Thetford wool fair was held on the 17th of this month. Much business was transacted. The prices were as under:-for Mr. Coke's wool, three-fifths hogget, 56s.; the Duke of Norfolk's half hogget and half ewe, and fat sheep, 52s. Mr. Reeve of Wighton offered his two-thirds hogget wool at 638., but it was not accepted. Several other bargains were made at 56s, hogget, and 32s. ewe wool.

The accounts from the hop plantations are much more promising. The plants are recovering from their weakness upon the dry soils, but upon the stiff lands their appearance is not so promising. The crop will be thin. The duty has been stated as high as 135,000. There is but little business doing.

The average arrivals have been-wheat 5999 quarters; barley 748 quarters; oats 19,004 quarters; common flour 7439 sacks; fine flour 691 barrels.

The average prices are, for wheat 61s.3d.; barley 338.9d.; oats 27s. 6d. ; Rye 40s.5d. ; beans 38s. 9d.; peas 39s. 6d.

In Smithfield both beef and mutton are heavy sale in consequence of the heat. The former sells at 3s. 8d. to 4s. 4d., and the latter fetches from 38.6d. to 1s. 4d. per stone.

COMMERCE.

July 20, 1824.

In furtherance of the system of commercial regulation adopted by the present Ministers, in our relations with foreign powers, treaties on the principle of reciprocity have been concluded with Prussia, Hanover, and Hamburg. The formal recognition of the new American States has not yet taken place. The appointment of consuls appears to have given great satisfaction at Buenos Ayres, and the appointment of so eminent a diplomatic character as Mr. Morier to the mission to Mexico appears to authorise the inference, that our Government entertains a favourable opinion of the prospects of that State, especially as Mr. Morier has sailed accompanied by his whole family and domestic establishment, which shows that he does not contemplate a merely transitory visit.

Cotton.-Till last week the business in the cotton market was inconsiderable, but without any alteration in the prices. Last week there were several public sales of cotton, consisting of 666 bales, all in bond, viz.-163 Bourbons, good to fine 10d. to 103 d. per lb. fair 94d. to 94d. middling and ordinary 84d. to 94d. which sold on a par with the last Company's sale prices; 286 Boweds and Alabama, good fair 81d. fair 84d. and middling 8d; 88 good fair Orleans 104d. and 65 good fair Berbice 103d. to 103d. per lb.; the latter were taken in, and only a part of the American cottons could find buyers, at a reduction of d. per lb. The demand by private contract has been principally for Brazil cottons; and about 600 bales Pernams have been taken for export, and 300 for home consumption, on lower terms, viz. 10žd. to 10 d. per lb. in bond; beside which there have been 550 bales of other descriptions sold, viz. 200 Bengals, 5 d. to 6a.; 100 Surats, 5d. to 74d; and 250 Madras, 6 d. to 6d. At Liverpool, the sales in four weeks were 38,350 bags, the arrivals 61,666 bags.

Sugar. Though the arrivals have been very extensive, and the show of new Muscovades considerable, but little business has been done; the buyers, anticipating lower prices, have held back; but the sellers have not shown a disposition to consent to any reduction. The market this morning was plentifully supplied with new sugars, and, as the trade and refiners have purchased lately very small parcels for immediate use, in the anticipation of these arrivals, it was fully expected they would come forward and purchase extensively, as the prices are so very low; contrary to general expectation, however, there has been little business done, though the buyers were at market at an early hour this morning. There is no alteration in the prices. The public sale of Barbadoes sugar this forenoon,

162 casks, went off freely at full prices, 57s. to 66s. Gd.; the fine sold a shade higher than the late currency. The refined market last week was exceedingly heavy, and lower prices were submitted to for every description of goods, except low lumps, which were scarce and in demand; patent goods were particularly heavy; crushed was sold at prices 1s. to 2s. lower.-Molasses 258. The supplies of low lumps are still inconsiderable, but there is not so much demand this forenoon; the market is without variation as to the prices.-Molasses 258. to 25s. 6d. In foreign sugars the only purchases lately reported are middling white Brazils at 32s. to 33s.

Coffee. The market, which was rather heavy at the close of last month, has since considerably improved. The prices of the. middling and finer descriptions have advanced. The ordinary and foreign, without so great an increase in price, have experienced a very great augmentation in the demand. The market this forenoon has assumed a decided appearance of an improvement; there were three public sales brought forward, the whole went off with uncommon briskness, at a general advance of 18. to 2s. per cwt. particularly ordinary British plantation and foreign coffee; good ordinary Jamaica sold 60s. to 61s.; fine ordinary 63s. to 65s.; St. Domingo fair quality 60s. to 61s.; La Guayra fine ordinary 61s. to 61s. 6d. good ordinary 58s. to 59s.; fine middling Jamaica at 97s. to 101s. in considerable parcels.

Indigo. The East India sale of 2772 chests commenced heavily, but ended with great spirit. Prices varied from last sale, to an advance of 4d. to 6d. per lb. and in some instances to 9d. 1000 chests were withdrawn by the proprietors. The Company's 729 chests sold freely, being taxed

considerably under their value.-But little alteration since the sale.

Tea. We have only to remark a great demand for Pekoes, which have advanced 2d. per lb. since last sale.

Oils. There are no accounts received respecting the fisheries. Greenland, to arrive, continues nominally at 217. 108.The market is heavy.

Spices.-There is a good demand for cinnamon, pimento, and pepper. No al. teration in other spices.

Hemp, Flax, and Tallow.-The demand for tallow continues very limited, and yellow candle tallow may be stated very heavy at 34s. 3d. for parcels here; for arrival the prices are a shade lower; August and September shipments 36s. to 35s. 9d. free on board 298.-In Flax or Hemp there is little variation; the latter for July and August shipments offers at 351. 108.

Rum, Brandy, and Hollands.The old landed rums, having lately been pressed on the market at very low prices, induces the exporters to pay much attention to run for shipments; many rather extensive parcels continue to be selected, and the export weekly continues extensive; from the quantity, however, offering there has been no improvement in the prices; low Leewards on board 1s. 4d. and in some instances extensive parcels could be purchased a shade lower; no alteration can be stated in the general currency.-The accounts of the appearance of the vines in France continue unfavourable; but, from the great change in the weather here and the heat, it is expected the next advices will be more flattering. The market in the mean time remains heavy, but the prices are supported; free on board to arrive 2s. 7d. In Geneva there is no alteration.
