Etienne wrote, in the Cooed. testiest:set of 18.11, a violent article against his play entitled " Antony," in consequence of which the perfoemana was forbidden. 14. J. Dumaine, nephew of 111. Etienne, wrote to the Press* to say that the article in question was not writ ten by that gentleman, and requesting that the erroneous assertion should be contradicted. The letter was referred to M. Dumas, and he wrote to the Presse requesting that it should be published ; but he caused it to be amompeaied by another letter signed "P. Hut," in which the writer, with great apparent solemnity, protested ageism a statement in the Missoires that he had once been nearly choked by swallowing the bone of a sole, whereas he said it was the bone of a trout which had caused the calamity.

The tone of the report is Of course) strongly hostile to the Commissioners, whose candour and accuracy it impeaches in wrong terms. Dr. Posey also, of course, is hostile to almost all the proposals of the Commissioners, and particu larly to those which tend to relax clerical restrictions sail to introduce the professorial system. NAVAL. The Queen, on the nomination of the First Lord of the Admiralty, has conferred the appointment of aide decamp to her Majesty, vacant by the promotion of Rear - Admiral the Hen. N.

IN RE &AGM'S TRIATR. In this cue • railway company had purchased • portion of the estates in the cause, and the purchase money was to be paid into court and invested in consols. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., appeared in support of &petition pray ing that the company might be declared liable ;to pay the brokerage charges for Investing and selling out the money arising tram the purchase. Mr. Speed, on behalf of the railway company, opposed the motion, and stared that, for the last twenty yeare, the practice had been merely to pay the amount of the purchase without any addition in respect of brokerage. Mr. Erskine appeared for some of the parties interested in the pufcburs-money. The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the railway company ought to pay the charges in question; the money paid for lead ought to come to the hands of the parties in terested free from all deductions. IN T*ll MATTZZ U► COLSONS ZSTATI. This wan a petition for the payment of money out of court which had been paid is under the Trustee Relief Act. The testator by his will, dated Bth Nov. 1817, devised two estates, called respective:, the Hall-court Estate, and the Shidfield farm, to hi. two sone John and James Colson for terms of ninety-nine years, if they should so long live, with remainder to their first and other was, in tail male, and divers remainders over, with a strict prohibition agaiost the cuttiag of timber for any purpose whatever. The testator then gave the sum of 2,0001. upon trust, yearly for the term of sixty years, if the rules would 6o long allow, and if not then during the lives of his said two sou., John and James, and the survivor of them for the period of twenty one lean from the death of such survivor, to pay and expend the interest, dividends, and an nual produce, or such part thereof as might be necessary in keepine the dwelling-houan and other build ings of the estates settled by his will in repair, and to ap ply the surplus equally between the persons in pommies of the said estates under his will during the continuance of the trust, and immediately after the enpiratios thereof to pay over the capital, one moiety to the person thou in possession of the one estate, under and by virtue of his will ; and the other moiety to the person ia peseeselon of the other estate, provided such persons should be his sons, or descendants of either of his sons ; and if not, then to divide the capital equally among the descendants of his (the testator's) brothers and sisters, thee living, per capita. The testator died in 1830, end the estates tail given by the will had been barred. The testator's sons therefore claimed to be absolutely entitled at once to the sum of 2,0001. The descendants of the testator's sons and brothers and sisters amounted to upwards of 70, and by an order made on a previous day, the Vice-Chancellor had ordered the petition to be served on two descendants of each son, and two de scendants of each brother and sister, to represent the family. His Honour had reserved his judgment, and now said— He thought there could be no doubt the testator intended that this sum should be entirely for the benefit of those who took the estate, which was there given in a particular way. Those parties had in effect made themselves absolute owners of the estates, and they were ultimately eatitled to the whole of this fund—to the income immediately and to the capital ultimately. The trust upon which it was given had is effect expired, because the clause restraining the owners of the estates from tutting timber had ceased to have any operation. They bad enlarged the estate to which they were entitled under the will, but that did not make it the less an estate under the will. The law gave the parties the power of aceelerating the time when they would become absolutely entitled to the fee simple in the estates, and he thought the possession of the money might also be accelerated. COURT OF r.-YESTERDAY. RIPON% rk. COSOILISION IN RI JACOB WiLIWIT. The bankrupt bad kept the Griffin public-honse, at the corner of Hely well•street, Shoreditch. This was the meet , leg for choice of aseigoses. It had been adjourned from a previous day, the choice being contested amongst three sets of creditors. Eventually, Mr. W. C. Caldwell, tailor and draper, of Cannon-street-road, the pstitioniag creditor, was chosen trade assignee ; Mr. Bell is t►e oMcial assignee, and Mr. Buchanan the solicitor under the bankruptcy. The bankrupt's liabilities are stated at about 1,2001.; assets between 600!. and 7001. WORN Ili. IN is SWIM, V nra COVIJIIIIPI. I, AND LIDDILL.

There was a dividend 'seating to-day is the separate estate of Ferguson. Mr. Yenaell, the official assignee, stated that a sum of money, between 3,0001. and 4,0001, had recently fallen in to the mate, and would be applieable to a dividend among the creditors. The amount of dividend will be announc ed in the usual way. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTERDAT. WM* MI. 001111111•01112 Mt Inn. tie Ili JAMBI JOSZPII IRON STIR. This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Montagu Scott, the secretary of • loan society. The complaint was that a debt of 161. 4s. had been con tracted under false pretences. The insolvent, who bad I been before diseharaed under the act, was ate of three par ties in a note of hand for the money, payable by weekly instalments. Scott stated that he was to raise 1,0001. on some property of his wife, and on the faith of the property advanced the money is question. The insolvent said the advance was by the loan society, and for Dow his brother-in-law. It came out that 7s. 6d. was charged as interest, and 2s. for inquiries. Mr. Commissioner Murphy calculated the interest at 7s. 6d. for 151. 4s. It was 12!. a year for 151. Mr. Commissioner Murphy was ,of opinion that the in solvent was entitled to kis discharge. Looking at the rate of interest charged and the evidence in the case, he could not say it was a debt contracted by false pretences. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. CUSTOMS' COURT. Yesterday this new court was opened for the first time. It is a convenient, well fitted up chamber in the Custom Hoses, Thames-street. The court bye been called into ex istence by the 16th and 17th of Victoria, chap. 107, sec. 33, which was an act pared in the last moms of parliament, and by which any one or more of the commissioners of cus toms is entitled to decide matters of dispute connected with Customsdues levied in case any owner, merchant, agent, 'or other person shall feel himself aggrieved, and bring the case before the court. Before the court was formally opened a haensonicon was introduced, to have, not its tones, but its Custom-house value tried. Sir Thomas FrentanUe was in the chair, and the question raised by Mr. Solomon., the importer of the instrument, was, whether 61 reeds divided into two rows formed one or two stops. Several witnesses were called on the part of Mr. Solomon and several on behalf of the Customs, who gave contradic• cart' evidence as to what did or did not constitute a atop. TIM question involves a very large amount of revenue, although apparently insignificant in itself. At die sonolusioa of the proceedings, Sir Thaws Fremantle said that he would inform the cononiselosere of what had transpired. Mr. 801•211011$ thanked the right hon. baronet for the manner in which he had conducted the case, and said that whatever the decision of the Commissioners might be, he should bow to it with satisfaction. The court then broke up. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LivuerooL, DEC. 9. IMO= RV SAXON JALDSIIIOII. IFIRACT TO DEFRAUD TRI LIVIRPO CORPORATION. . . JosfpA llowaon and WUlian Cfwrke were indicted foe conspiring to defraud the corporation of Liverpool of the sus of 1,72 W. 14e. 9d., by false certificates of brick de livered amounting to upwards of two million. There was oleo a count charging the former with obtaining the above nom wader false pretences. The prisoners pleaded not uilt Mr. Bison and Mr. Brett appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. E. James, Q C. (special), and Mr. Alpine!, for Rosman ; Mr. Moak appeared for Clarke. Mr. Simon stated the cue, from which it appeared, that on the occasion of the building of a new gaol at Walton, by the Liverpool corporation in 1850, • contract was entered • into with the prisoner Romeo for a supply of bricks, at 15s. the thousand for common, 25e. for builnosee, and 275. Gd. for bevels and seconds. The prisoner Clarke was appointed clerk of works, and it was his duty to see that the bricks were properly delivered, and give his certificate to Mr. Weightman, the surveyor to the corporation, who was to certify for its payment. The number of bricks certified for was 6,000,000, which, it was contended, were not delivered, the actual quantity delivered being about 4,000,000. At the conclusion of the statement of the case, U. lordship doubted that they would be able to prove either of the allezed charges. Mr. Weightman wss called and examined by Mr. Brett, who proved the receipt of certificates from Clarke of the number of bricks delivered, and of the money paid by his directions to Rowson. Two brick-moolders, aimed Charuock and Kitchen, were then examined with a view of showing that the number of stools on the brick-field could not have produced the quantity alleged to have been delivered, as only eight were esgaged. The witness Charnock stated be had made the most in the field, only producing 600,000, while in the total number delivered as made by hint was nearly one third more than that quantity. Cbarnock also stated that be had repeatedly seen the prisoners together is the field, and in the street. His lordship stated that there was evidently overcharges (and large ones too), but they would have to make out some criminal motive by both parties. Hr. Simon said he thought the systematic and weekly overcharges which were made, evidently with the know ' lodp and emetics of Howson, who, epos the evidence of I witamses, was always present at the payment on Saturday snalciear 'Mums of the criminality of the Upansitted. he would prove that Clarke wee gtl 7 - robit otroosiviog same of now trot Amos Ai Omit iima 1852. 1863. --1- 1,670 1 2,884 620 676 190! 190 1,4071 1,692 3,869 k 4,261 13,306'14,628 3,108 1 3,480 137 163 182 193 826 823 96S 1,123 93.5 966 495 465 693, - 100 178 736 898 4,313 4,379 14,663 116,004 2,140 2,131 2,816, 2,374 80 124 3311 432 3,926; 4,577 lot ow. , 37.216 5,111 19,156 193 169 173 5,364 16,970 4,SSIi THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1853. Mr. Monk said. as Mr. Simon had told part of a story, Le should bare finished it. The onts ground of that assertion was Clarke's own statement that he had often borrowed 51. or IN from Howson now and again, for wl:ich he gate him his 10 U. importation of wheat. maize. and oats into the Lomhsrda- Venetian territories ha+ heen prolonged from the 31Ft inst. to the end of Mural, Ib3i.—By older, JAMES BOOT it. - Mr. Simon said he did not think, after the expression of opinion by the court upus the merits of the cue, he would be justified in occupying their time by calling any further evidence. The jury then, by direction of his lordship, returned a verdict of Not Guilty agaiket both prisoners, who were immediately discharged. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Drc. S. The Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a declaration issued by the Russian authorities at Bucharest, from her hfajest)'s coasultsperal at that place, respecting eha navigation of the Danube by vessels of neutral power., a translation of which is hereto subjoined.—By order, JAM!. bootie. (Trandatioa.) DItCLAILLTION. In virtue of the orders of his Majesty, the Emperor, the Commander-in-Chief of the imperial troops appoints the ports of Braila and (Islets for the commerce of neutral powers, both as regards exportation and importation. The vessels of such powers coming from the Black Sea can re turn freely into that sea after having received their cargoes in the ports above mentioned, on condition always that they abstain, before entering the Black Sea, from touching at any port of the Danube. Consequently these vessels before quitting the ports of Braila and Galata must present their documents to the Russian consular agent., who will furnish them, gratis, with a certificate showing the destination of the ship, and beerir4 the formal declaration, that if before entering the sea they should disembark corn or provisions upon any point of the right bank of the Danube they will by this contravention incur sequestration. Neutral semis which wish to ascend the Danube, in order to proceed at once into the Austrian states, and which carry down cargoes destined either for Braila or Galata, or for exportation by the Black Sea, will be liable to the same formality of a Russian certificate indicating their destination and prohibit ing them, under pain of sequestration, from entering into any tra ffi c on the right bank of the Danube. Neutral vessels wishing to descend the Danube wi; I not meet with any hindrance, provided that on their passage by Orsova they furnish themselves at the Russian Consulate with a certificate stating that they belong bone fide to a neutral power, and that their cargo is not destined for one of the Turkish pore of the Danube.

Iraitens Kelly, foreman tailor and entter•out at Mr. Alexander Massey". outfitting warehouse and American shipping office in Upper East Smithfield, appeared to an ewer a summons under the 10th and Ilth Victoria, eee.ll, with having unlawfully persuaded one Alfred Reynolds, a British seaman, to desert from her Majesty's service. Mr. Swainson, principal clerk to the Admiralty solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and called Lieutenant Greet, commanding her Majesty's receiving ship Crocodile,:lying off the Tower, who said that on the 26th ult. he entered Reynold' as a volunteer for H.M.S. Diamond. He gave Reynolds leave of absence fur two days. On Mon day, the 2stb, Reprilds asked for his leave to be renewed, and he gave him leave of absence for two days more. Oa the 29th, having ascertained that Reynolds had been induced to enter the American merchant service, and that he was in the neighbourhood of Upper East Smithfield, he sent a MAR belonging to the Crocodile to bring him to the ren devour on Tower. bill. Lieutenant Greet added that the crimps and others, agents of British and American merchant ships were constantly enticing men to desert from her Majesty's service. At the beginning of the year it was found necessary to intercept several British ships at Gravesend, and take out the deserters from the royal navy, hat the American ships could not be searched for them. Mr. Swainson—No, for it would be a violation of the American flag to do so; nor do we allow the Americans to search any ships under our flag for deserters. Reynolds said that he was passing the shop of Mr. Morey on the 2tith of November, when the defendant called him in and asked him if be would ship on beard an American vessel in the river. Witness replied that he had already entered the royal navy. The defendant said that made no difference whatever, for he had only to keep on board the American ship out of the way, and it would be all right. Witness then agreed to ship on board tke Ophelia, an American ship, and neat morning was sent on board. His clothes were taken out of the boarding house, where he had been staying, and sent on board and he lost them all. The defendant alleged, in reply, that Reynolds had in troduced himself to him as a Frenchman. Reynolds denied that he introduced himself to Kelly, but admitted that, at his solicitation, he shipped on board the Ophelia as a Frenchman, and told the Americal consul he belonged to Havre de Orate. He abandoned the Ophelia, the day after he went on board, at Blackwell, because he could get nothing to eat and the ship was a bad one. Five others left her at the same time. He was born at Falmouth, in England, and reared in British North America, and was a subject of the Queen. Several witnesses having been **Rosined for the defence, Mr. Ingham felt it his duty to convict, and as this was a most series, offence, which had been carried on extensively, causing great inconvenience and injury to her Majesty's service, he should order the defendant to pay the full penalty of SOL or be imprisoned for six months. Kelly again protested his innocence, and said he had a wife and seven children. He implored the magistrate to reconsider the matter. Mr. Ingham—l am sorry you make yourself an instru ment for others. You are the only person I can lay hold of. I can see no grounds for mitigating the penalty, but plenty for indicting, both as regards the honour and safety of the country. The ins was paid. Antes Powell, an;;;;;; - cOerinet7or,badge No. 107, and his brother, Alfred Edwin Powell, d • , badge No. 9,693, both belonging to the Hayes omnibus, were charged, the former with haying unlawfully demanded of a gentle. man, named George Polley, of No. 36, King-street, Re. gent street, more than his legal fare ; and the latter with forcibly taking the complainant's umbrella from him. The complainant deposed that on the evening of the 24th ult. he got into the defendants' omnibus at the Regent's. circus, for the purpose of riding to Old Oak-lane, at Shep herd's Bush. On arriving within a few yards of the place he tendered the conductor 6d. The conductor took the money, and said, "My fare is a shilling." Witness told him he had never been asked for more, and insisted on being set down. The conductor refused ; and witness was taken nearly half a mile further. At last he succeeded in gettisg out, and the conductor then called to the driver. It was raining very hard at the time, and witness had his um brella up. The driver came up to him and said in a threat ening way, " take it out of you," and insisted upon his paying another sixpence. Witness, who felt that the driver was about to strike him, refused to comply with the de mand, and the driver then forcibly wrested the umbrella from him, and said, "Now go through the wet." The driver then got upon the Us and drove off with his um brella. Mr. Martin, for the defendants, called the summoning ofilcer, who produced the table of fares, which stood as follows;—" From Hayes to London, 2s. ; outside, Is.; from Hanwell to the Circus, 9d.; beyond, Is.; from the Bank to the Circus, 4d.; beyond, Is." Mr. Poynter said the table was a complete fraud upon the public, for it was so contrived, that it might be read in several ways. All such lista should be so arranged uto be understood both by the public and the conductor, and not so contrived as to raise twenty questions as this one did. Mr. Martin admitted that the table of fares was not a clear one, and said that all these kind of disputes would be fl:iian end to if the passengers paid their fares fipoll enter , as they did in Paris. r. Paynter said the driver's conduct had been very gross. Indeed he had committed a sort of highway rob bery, in taking the umbrella away from the complainant in the m he bad. He fi ned him 31. and 20s. costs, or two months' imprisonment. He also fined the conductor 10s. and 2s. costs. The conductor paid his fine, but the driver was unable to do so, and he was sent to prison. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE—Friday, Dec. 9. OSBORNE-HOUSE, Duc. 5.

SUOMI—The seerage price of sugar, the wanes of the British possessions in America, computed from the re turns made in the week ending the Gqi December. 1853, iv 245. 40. Sugar, the produce of the lilauritiur, 2ds. Sugar, the produce of the East ladies, 231. Sal. The average price of the three foregoing descriptions of sugar jointly, is 24a 41d. COTTON.—Ltvitaroot, Due. 9.—This is the fourth week in succession without any quotable chance in the price of cotton, excepting only Sea Islands. 01 that de scription there was a public sale advertised of 1,020 beg', which came off on Wednesday ; about 800 were disposed of, at a decline from the private business immediately pre ceding of nearly 11. per lb. on the average, the better sorts being less depressed than the ordinary middling. The de-1 cline in this description from the very highest point of the year is now 5.1. to 6d. on the better sorts, and on the lower qualities of 74. to 9d. Great as this decline may appear, they are still, in our opinion, at their lull relative scale of value. All other descriptions are just es before, not only in the actual quotations of prices, but apparently in the confi dence with which the stock continues to be held. The long pending question between the workpeople and their employers remains unsettled ; the consequence being • much reduced production of the manufactured article, and giving to the Manchester market a degree of steadiness which otherwise it might not have maintained. The Com mittee of Brokers place Fair Uplands at 61c1.; Mooile, 61d. ; and Orleans, 6/d. 840 American, 1,760 Surat, and 220 Egyptian are reported to have been taken on specula tion; and 810 American, 1,070 Surat, 260 Madras, 10 Egyptian, and 40 remain for export. hales for the week, 39,080 bales. WOOL.—LEEDS, DEC. 9.—The manufacturers, finding • ready sale fur their goods, have been induced to make fresh purchases of woofs, and consequently large quantities suitable for clothing purposes have been taken out of the market since the close of the last public sales. Prices are without alteration. LEATHER.—LEEns, Dac. B.—There was only a mode- rate supply 01 leather at this fair, and a fair demand fur most descriptions, nearly the whole being cleared off, but at a slight reduction on former prices. CORN.CIittnISPORD, DEC. 9 -The supply of wheat to-day was by no means large, and the greater proportion much out of condition ; this description declined 2s. to 3s. per qr., while the hest could be purchased at Is. reduction. The market closed heavily. Barley, the best qualities of which there ere tour offering, realised within about Is. of last week, while secondary parcels receded 2s. per qr. Beans: more offering, and exceedingly doll sale ; 4s. to ss. per qr. decline had to be submitted to before sales could be effected ; even at this decline the market was heavy ; mars gan, 368. to 395. ; ticks, 40s. to 435. LINCOLN, DEC. 9.-Our market commenced by farrers asking more money ; ultimately a slow trade was done at barely Is. advance. Barley : a heavy sale. Oats and beans maintained late rates. Wheat, red, 70s. to 72e. ; white, 730. to 765. Barley, 31a. to 395. Oats, 265. to 20s. Livitaroot, DEC. 9.-At this day's market there was a good attendance of thy town and country trade together with some buyers from the interior, and a large business was done in wheat and flour for sonsumption and on specu lation, at an advance of Id. to 2d. per it:fibs. and 61. to Is. per barrel,lol. 3d. to 10s. 6d. per 701bs. being obtainable for fine white American wheats, and 10s. to 10s. 31. for Canadian; 365. to 365. 6d. per barrel for Western Canal flour, and 361. 6d. to 375. per barrel for Baltimore and Philadelphia. Oats and oatmeal were in very limited re quest and Tuesday's prices were with diffiLulty supported. Barley, beans, and Indian corn met with a moderate retail sale, at late rates. WAKEFIELD, DEC. 9.-Our supplies of wheat are mode rate ; the smell quantity of new offering, enables sellers to obtain close on last week's rates for all qualities ; and old, if fresh, is more saleable at previous prices, but inferior is still quite neglected. Fresh heavy barley is held firmly, and fully as dear, but interior in limited demand, without alteration in value. Oats and shelling as before. Beans go off very slowly. Other articles without variation. Im ports during the week :-Wheat, 4,972 qrs. Barley, 2,2/4. Oats, 521. Beans, 709. Peas. 119. FRUIT FOR CHRISTMAS PCDDIX3S. Messrs. Witherby and Hanson, fruit and colonial brokers, in speaking of the dried fruit market, furnish us with the following particulars: _ —• . CIMILANTS.—TweIve cargoes of currants, chiefly 18,53 fruit, nave arrived here since our report of the 23rd ult., and also some further parcels of 18-51 fruit from Trieste. Six cargoes are now kuown to be afloat, after which there will be a long pause._ _ • "The clearances for home consumption still present a meagre appearance, having been 290 tons in all November against 1,190 tons in November, 1642. Those in bond have been 180 tons, of which 48 tons to our colonies, 110 to the continent, and 22 coastwise. The clearances at Liverpool are on the increase, competed principally of 1852 fruit. The Board of Trade returns for the first ten months of this year, ending sth November, show the importations into the United Kingdom to have been 4,400 tons less than in 1852, during the corresponding ten months, and the de liveries for home consumption also have been 7,540 tons less, 8,030 tons in 1853 against 16,570 tons in 1862. The total consumption of raisins during the same period exhibits likewise a decrease of 50 tens; 8,410 tons in 1853 against 8,460 tons in 1862. • • • • • " Large public sales have taken place since our last, but without promoting purchases; such is usual!? their effect at this season. A few parcels of old fruit of various qualities offered at these sales on ootport account,: to be cleared in fourteen days, have found purchasers, and occa sionally at full prices. Though they have tended to weaken the market, they have brought the article more into con sumption, and have perhaps benefited it. Fine old 1831 fruit has found buyers at 105 s. in cases, but the holders of such fruit are very firm, and are not sellers generally. The 18.53 Cephalonia fruit shows generally an improvement upon lest year's; it is selling at Liverpool at 90s. per cwt. There has been as yet an unusual want of demand, but currants can now be purchased at all prices according to quality ; and the non-increase in the consumption of raisins leaves a reasonable expectation that the public will continue to consume currants, though necessarily in a smaller quan tity. The stock has lately been considerably augmented by arrivals, but it cannot be correctly ascertained before the close of the year, when it will perhaps be found to be between 9,000 and 10,000 tons, against 8,200 tens on 31st of December, 1852, and 8,700 tons on 31st December, 1851. “Raistwa.—The arrival of seven cargoes of Valeatias since the 23d ult., brings up the total importation this season by 42 ships to 104,364 boxes. 63,765 half boxes, or 3,400 tons, against 144,333 boxes and 78,660 half boxes, or 4,600 tons, by 57 ships to the same period of 1852 ; show ing a short importation so far this year of 1,200 tons. It is probable that four more cargoes may arrive before Chris mu. Five cargoes have arrived at the outports. The other arrivals here consist of muscatels, several cargoes of black Smyrnas, but no Turkey red fruit of any weight, and for the present very little seems likely to come forward. " The deficiency above noted of 50 tons of raisins in the comparative consumption in the United Kingdom during the first tea months of this year, whilst that of the first nine months 'homed en increase of 865 tons, is an evideace of the backwardness of the trade in laying in their Christ mas stocks. The London deliveries during the last three months et the last eight years have, as we lately stated, been lees than 3,300 tone, and have averaged 3,600, tons. The clearances of November last having been 1,220 tons, and of October 780 tons, we ought to clear in Decem ber 1,600 tons to make up the usual ge. The stock of Valentiu at the quays on the Ist inst. was 65,000 boxes, or 1,625 tons, which is unusually abort in face of so little still to arrive, since 2,200 tons were lett over on 31st December, 1852, and 1,750 tons on 31st December, 1851. The clear ances are now proceeding on a large scale. " Several cargoes of Valentias have latterly been sold at 475. to 48s. Though the arrivals of blacks, and the offering of large quantities at auction have caused a nominal re,luc. tion in price of 3s. to le. per ewt., the only sale which has met the public eye has been that of 30 barrels of good fruit, forced off at auction on the Ist inst. at 30s. to 328., at which there are no other sellers, good to fine fruit being held at 345. to 40s. Shipments have commenced to Aus tralia. Muscatels are also somewhat lower. Old Chesmes continue neglected. Denies, in baskets, are likely to be scarce when wanted in January; present prices nominally 335. to 355. " Amongst the few marketable articles which from a state of comparative uselessness and impracticability of vent in this country, have merged into one of sudden con sumption and enhanced value, may be placed black Smyrna raisins. Although Turkey produces a vast quan tity of this fruit, only a few tone have each season found their way to England, part of which used occasionally to be taken by the Admiralty, until superseded by cheap cur rants, and part by wine makers. The crop is usually taken off by Odessa and other ports in the Black Sea, by Trieste, and a good portion by Holland. The cost at Smyrna has seldom ranged above 3s. to 76. per cwt , at which it was to be purchased there last summer. In April last the price here was 30s. per cwt., and on the article being exhibited by our retailers and taken by the public, a demand sud denly sprung up, and led to extensive shipments to this country, which, being sent over by steamers, arrived during the summer, and a great portion, to the extent of several hundred tons, went rapidly into consumption. It rose hen to 425. in August, and to 431. to 465. in September, which was beyond the relative value of the article. It advanced also at Smyrna to 16s. to 20s. per cwt , being driven up by considerable and simultaneous purchases on French account, a fact rather discredited here at the time, from its being so novel and inexplicable. But the French distillers, it appears, in consequence of the great destruction of grapes by the' oidium' or grape disease, and the advance of 100 per cent. in the price of spirits of wine, were compelled to look out for a substitute for dis tillation, and preferred black raisin to Spanish or other growths. The article, now that it is fi nding its proper level in value, will eventually be largely consumed in this country, and probably without interfering with the consumption of earronto. . . . . --7 "liot;.—The stock is much reduced by large clearances in face of very short arrivals.
