MAURITIUS, VIA ADELAIDE.

Friday, May 2£ Messrs. Ireland, Fraser, and Co., in their report, say that nearly the -whole of laßt season's orop has been exported, and tho markets are very bare, whioh renders it impossible to quote prices. For the present small Btocks very high rates are asked. The prospects of the new orop, which is expected to yield 150,000 tons of sugar, and which will be due in July, are very favorable. For Australia there was little or no demand for freight, in consequence of the scarcity of sugars. The .Jugarnia and William Clowes were loading for Sydney, and tho Clara Sayers for Adelaide ; but there was nothing loading for Melbourne. Breadstuff's were dull, owing to con* siderable arrivals. Three oargoes of wheat had arrived from Kurrachee. The Jane Bell's flour, from Valparaiso," was quitted at sdol. 500. per 1001 b. It is doubtful, however, if that price will again be obtained for the present, owing to subsequent arrivals of wheat. Tho cargo of coals ex Cireard, from Sydney, sold for 9dol. per ton, alongside. Tallow was worth 1 3dol. to 1 8dol. 50c. per 1001 b. Beef was scarce, and in good demand, at 30dol. to lOdoKper

tierce. Oats, sdol. The bran, ex Clara Sayers, brought 4dol. The captain of the Caprera had his certificate suspended for six months, for rashness anil imprudence in causing the loss of his vessel.
