He served as a private soldier under George 1. and II. was in the German wars in the reigns of those two monarchs, and attended General Wolfe in his last moments, at the siege of Quebec; and, it is worthy of remark, though he had been in 15 engage ments, and 25 skirmishes, he had not received a wound, and boasted till death, that he never shewed his back to the enemy. He flattered himself, some weeks previous to his dissolution, that he should live to the age of Old Parr.

At his house, in Old Aberdeen, in the 32d year of his age, Mr. Hugh Stewart, brewer. The circumstances of his death are of a very melancholy nature: about four o'clock in the morning he had gone into the brewhouse to superintend the mashing, when, it is supposed, in reaching for something near the boiler, which was full of water, and boiling strong at the time, awful to relate, he fell into it head-long! Before assistance came to him he had recovered himself, and was standing upright. Although instantly taken out, and medical aid procured, yet he survived only about three hours, and these in the most excruciating tortures, which prevented his giving any account how the dreadful accident happened.

At their sale on the 5th and 6th instant, was sold (being the conclusion of the indige sale) for home consumption. the dutics are to be paid, privilege 1,106 chests and 3 boxes indigo, 2s 3d. to 10s. per lb, Private trade, 49 chests indigo, 2% 11d. to 9s. per lb. Uncleared in March sale, 1807, 3 chests indigo, 4s. 9d. to 6s. 2d. per lb. and afterwards at their cinamon, sale, 2,287 bales cinnamon, 6s. 6d. to 7s. 4d. per lb. if for home consumption duty to be paid. 10 chests 1 box of inace, at 48s. to 575. per ib. and 3 chests of cloves, at 3s. 7d. per lb.

The safe arrival of the homeward-bound Jamaica, and Leeward Island fleets, have brought into the market a very large additional quantity of rum, sugar, cotton, coffee, &c. all of which are at present a very dull sale, owing to a want of export to the northern ports of Europe, as well as the free trade between America and the French West India islands, whereby they are enabled to furnish the continent of Europe with sugar and coffee at least 20 per cent. under us, owing to their low freight, insurance, &c. &c.

The following West India produce has been sold by public sale since our last, viz,

By Messrs. Anderson, 963 casks Muscovado sugar, from 53s. to 67s. per cwt.

Of the pre luce of America, there has been very few public sales, and the prices have rather declined since our last report on the subject; from Virginia alone, has been im ported into the port of London in one week, 1,481,304 lbs. of tobacco. 1,003 barrells American pot-ashes, lately landed from Quebec, were sold at public sale, by Messrs. Poyser and Co. at 53x. 9d. to 60s, 3d, per cwt, also 342 barrels American pearl-ashes, at 5ās. 9d. to 71s. per cwt. 307 barrells Carolina rice, by widow Purdy and Sons, bonded at 26s. to 30s. 6d. per cwt. 8 tons lignum vitæ, at 21, 10s. per ton. 135 tons Newfoundland seal oil, at 231. 5s. to 251. 5s, per ton, per Mr. S. Cleasby. With respect to the commerce hetween this country and America, it is impossible to judge how far it is prudent to extend a further credit to the American merchants, until the present pending negotiations are finally arranged, which we hope and trust is not far distant. The Americans are at this time largely indebted, not only to London, but also the great manufacturing towns of Birmingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Nottingham, &c. &c. and if a rupture should take place it must do considerable injury to many respectable families in those towns.

Although the quality of the hops this year is remarkably fine, still the demand is not great, and the prices rather fallen within these few days; at Worcester market 1696 pockets new hops were weighed off at 61. to 61. 17s. per cwt. and at Stourport market 377 pockets were weighed off at 61. to 6. 15s. per cw At Canterbury the market was full of samples, but few buyers; bags sold from 51. to 51. 16s. per cwt. and pockets sold at 61. to 61. 15s, a few fine ones brought 71. per cwt.

The course of exchange between this country and Ireland has lately fallen, and is likely to be still lower in consequence of the great men market beng on just now at Dublin, which will cause bills on London to be had at Dublin on reasonable terms, being given as a payment for the immen cloth by the English purchasers now attending the said market.
