(Applause.) But the power or scope for reduction in these estimates is quits lured anything I eau convey to you. On looking over the votes this forenoon, there was Dee whine Barash me as well worth meatiosisg. It is this : there is small island rolled the Fa'kland Isle, the inliaMtaste of whisk mutat to 160 individuals. And the. island bas • govereer, peMsas ter, and all the other officialperaphernalia, atasaswsl swum of COWL (Beer, hear.) I remember that whoa that par nailer vote was under discussion, Mr. Jaime' Hume, that old and tried friend of reform, rouserked very justly that w• 'meld being over the whole of the lubstoiteses of the Falkland Isles to this country, and wisesta them here at sub less mots,. (A laugh.) There is astable Wand that we have taken possession of within the last two years; sod I am not aware whether there is yet • white man ups it -1 as.. Libelee ; but upon this spot we have .lrealy a go veinier, muter attendant, and a set of other officials, for warm we pay 10,0001. per annum. How such a system as dele sass possibly stand, Or bel alleehiled by a reformed EOMsI Co amosii, it is difficult to comprehend; but so it ie. (Neer, hear.) The: let as look at moms of our larger posses sass. Take Jessaica, for instance. It contains • population {MS t h an the city of Giuggio. We think that theta:al govern ment of Glasgow M quite heavy enough; but the isSnd of 'Mabel coats 400,0001. ; and this extravagant expenditure is continued in the fur of the restoostranses of their local legislature. The people themselves wish to re duce their expenditure ; but the home government, for no other reeve than to provide for their dependents and friend+, say that it shall not be reduced ; and consequently, as to Jedsies, it is still labouring aleag with us under a heavy load of taxation. (Hear, hear.) Now, I would just bring the cue home from Jamaica, ad point to a great job wh:ch is at this moment being perpetrated in the metropolis. I refer to the new Houses of Parliament. It took no less than nine months to adjudicate and decide epos the plans and estimates of these new houses. One would mink that in such a length of time, they should have been well con sidered ; and assoroinely the stagnates were gives in and calculated to amount to 770,0001. Well, last year, a mem. her moved for a stern of what they had now cost, and it turned out that the amount was 2,043,0004. (Hear ' hear, and "Shame.") Now, this very enormity proves to my mind that this system nest soon be abolished. There are some other points that I could willingly bare alluded to, but I am well swan that you are not here tor the purpose of listen- Mg to me, but to our Weeds who are now here as the re presentativee of the National Reform Association in London, and whom I now beg ti intronies to you. (Great cheering ) Mr. A. PATON here read a letter from Mr. M'Oregor. the other repreeentstive for Glasgow, stating that he would willingly have accepted the invited* to be present at that meeting, but he bad, unfortunately, made an engagement, as governor of the Royal North Drab Bank, for the very day on which the was notified to be The Rev. Mr. J FRAY moved the following resolution in a brief speech, is which he stated ke cossidered it las ditty, as • Weiser of the gospel, to be present and aid by every means in his power this wit patriotic movemeat. That, iteasiderlog that the national expenditure is erass sire and may be very much Mood &What injury to the efficient dal:hares of the duties of the ggoovernment, and that a reform is the Cosmos house of psNlament is necessary, this weds, approve of the obi's' at the National Perlis sieutary sad Financial Reform Association, and cordially wel come to this city the deputation from that body now present, consisting of Sir Joshes Walstaley, M.P., and George Thompson, Req., M.P., who have been invited by a prelimi nary meeting to address the present assembly. Mt. Councillor PEARSON seconded the resolution, which was agreed to with great enthusiasm. Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY was received with immense applause. He said-1n rising to address the highly intelli gent citizens of this great commercial metropolis I would give relief to my feelings by gravelly acknowledging the levitation which has brought me &atingle you ; the honour sod compliment that invitation has conferred, and the ge• serous reception which, as a stranger and a very humble individual, has been accorded to me. Having dolls this, let popitiate your indulgence by avowing that 1 liars little ▪ rose and me to your attention beyond an earnest seal ▪el ISM you are seeking to promote, and a conviction that, !melee been in some degree favoured with public con- Wanes and elevated to a seatin the legislature, it is my ditty to de what I sea /or my country. In ability I must give plass to Niel; in sincerity and earnestness I would be lowa to sou. (Cheers) With this introduction let me to folill the trot now laid epos as. Sir Joshua ekes = a wn the foundation, the principles, propel/ale, and sea sores of the Parliamentary andFiewelal Batons Awocistioa. The propositions to which I refer are these :—Firet, that ander the existing and cherished soweitation of Ws country, the House of Commons ought to embody, fully and fairly, the opinions, the feelings, and the will of the various claws ▪ widek our wrest community is composed. Second, that the awes of Commons, as at present constituted, does not alialleat, with anything like Museum justice, the mind of iho pm* of the united empire. Third, that the schemes( Wenn which has been adrated by the asereciation, and has already received the sanction and ratification of vast uses binges of enlightened citizens, is can which would secure that reprosentatioa which it is the right and the intense of the people to possolt. And, fleetly, that the meanies we an now prosecuting are such as promise at no dates: day the attainment of the object we have in view, and, as the result, due , practical benefits whisk are sow looked for in van' at the hands of the pee. gent Hoses of Commons. Having at considerable length explained sad supported his posing:us, and esemerated the various incoonsteee in toeth represen tation of the country, Sir Joshua nn went ton y : Whom does the House of Commas represent I will tell you. The government with its 63 placessen—the navy, with its adneirah, sommodorts, and aristocratic post captains— ** army, with its numerous staff of field may shale, generals, and Mascara colonels—the church, with its 108 men, who are the patrons of between 200 and 300 fat linage, one of whom alone has the personation to 103 benefices. Whom does the House of Commas represent I The people ? No. I will tell you : The aristeersey, the terriMeW oligarchy, the men who sit in the lime of Peers Do you ask me to prove this ?

Are we now rejoicing in the purity amid independence of our elections, and in the democratic charac ter of the Howe of Commons, which it was 'opposed that nuaeure would secure ? (.. no.") Is there 110 nomiaa ties to seats is the lions* of Commons now ? Is there no bribery, either wholesale or retai:, done at elections sew ? Are then no conetitueseies now where it is impetigo to carry an election without a corrupt empties with a grovelling and sordid crew ? Is there no loileenie, and no intimidation used in the ma esegesseat of elections now Have the peorle in every easp the seas of their choice ? Will any man deny that the Hews of Commons at the present time contains some sores of tie sow and scions of the aristocracy, the devotees of pleasure, tad the di entrees of taxes, and the oppooents of reform, net one of whom, unites greatly improved to in tellect, in habits, and political knowledge, would have a chance before • large and intelligent constituency in say pin of the kingdom? 0. this,he was sure, there would be no deni 1 from three who sit in the House of Commons. But there are those who admit the necessity of reform, but tell as it is not the right time to broach tee subjoin, or to get up en agitation upon it. (gear, hear) With such men it wit never be the sisht tame. Let me refer you to what lately struck my eye in the eolumen of one of theLondoa daily papers—a paper which I may ohs 'eve has peculiar claims upon the support of all the friends of re form and good government throughout the king low, and merits that support not lees on amount of the ability of its articles and the vuiety of its information than its independent advocacy of liberal principles—l refer to the Daily News. (Chens ) 11, turn to last Thursday's issue, and read there the leading article on the effect of the excise laws upoa the manufacture ol soap. You will see bow, by the imper menace, interference, restrictions, and enactmen:s of those laws, the enterprise of hottest - men is paralysed, how capital is destroyed, end Low respeirkbie persons are ruined and driven nut of the trade by the padlocks. pumps, and other machinery of this mote of tazation. You want a reform in the pension list. 0 ye Belgravian recipients of elm, from the miserable but meritorious poor, wield, that sentstimes when alone, ye would think of thew pale, feint, sonsumptive creatures who toil and spin that you may dress in purple and fine lines! would that you would sometimes send your thoughts to the foetid room of the slop-maker, or the lonely, firele-s garret of the enapstr et, where—work, work, work —sriteh, stitch, stitch—tit those who from Monday's sunrise to Saturday's sunset, the offspring of piverty, toil to pay 2d. out of every 3d. toisy spend in tea, that may be idle and fare sumptuously every day. (Hear, hear ) Tot went fin.ncial reform. Yes, to drive its ploughshare through the stupendous abuses of the army, the navy, aid the ordnance, with their joint expenditure of seventeen million', upon men, and boys, and sand-bags, and shells, and rockets, and cartridges, and cannon balls, and muakets, and hones, and gun carriage., and ships of war, and arsenals, and jobbing contracts, sad generals without dieisloes, and edusirals without ships, and hell-pays, and whole pays, and superansuatiose, and peones.. (Applause.) You want financial reform. Yee, to cleanse that wore tint Aegean stable—the Woods and Forests, with its sinecure salines, its fraudulent leases, its insane mismanagement, it. guilty malversatione, its disgusting favouritism to the nobles of the land—its innumerable petty peculation*—its barbarous and feudal privileges—itspervenioa of the land and resources of the soil which are the birthright of the people, its unset- Actable oaks, its useless verderere, its costly estab lishmeot in Whit, haliplace, and all its maaituld and multiform and monstrous abuses. (R-n- wed cheering.) The v er y men who, when Mr. Cobden and myself in 180, 164 1 , and 1642, were going from city to city, and from town to town, as my ho nourable friend and I are doing now, yelped lik• curs at our heels, wrote leading articles to denounce our ultraism and fanaticism ; they charged us with abusing the aristaawy, and seeking to bring the government lot° coutempt; the most expressive and appropriate simile they could find by which to incribe Mr. Cobden wee—" a bubble of foal froth." They preached up an eiokt shilling fined duty ; thus, as now, they supofrod the policy of the men in power ; and it was not until a certain noble lord wrote a letter from Scotland to London that their eyes were anointed and Mr. Cobden became a judicious and respectable man, (Hear, hear.) The judicious measures of Mr. Cobden! Why, we are walking in his footprints, we are follow lag his advice. Even while I @peek, I find a motive in the language which he employed at Hamill"• bast a fortnight ago ; when sitting by his side, I heard his say. " whether Irish, colonial, India.., parlia mentary or financial retorts be your object, one thing is certain, you cannot achieve it until dm people IMO crowed to perceive the defects of the represeatative sputa, and are resolved to amend it." (Loud applause.) The spirit of reform is abroad ; so also is the spirit of bondage and of des potism. But who can doubt the issue of the conflict ? Hark! amidst the roar of elements, the tumult of voices, and the clash of arms, hear you not the cry, Reform! reform ! ...Yee every redla.at Island of creation, The music of that swelling peal is borne; Lend bears to land, and name shouts to nation, The war cry of the age—Beform, reform!" Kr. Thompson resumed his seat amidst rounds of ape Owe. WILLIAM GOVAN, Esq., submitted the second mien- 1 Soo, which was to the effect, that this meeting believing that good and economical sovernment will only be secured by a large extension of the franchise, • shortening of the duration of parliaments, peetection to every man in the este ' else of the franchise, and a more equal distribution of politi cal powers through the means of an equalised adjustment of re a ie u rtatives to government, tenders its warmest acknow -1 te to the gentlemen of the deputation, for Vie lucid matitfectory exposition of the principles of the association which they have gives, and appoint a committee for the purpose of carrying est the objects of the associatio n. (Here follow the names of the gentlemen proposed to form a committee.] He (Mr. Govan) was happy to think that after the addresses to which the meeting had listened, no more was wanting on his part to recommend the resolution which he had just submitted. Mr. MATTHEW CULLEN said he had much pleasure in seconding the resolution which had jest been submitted to the meeting ; and, in doing se, be had pleasure in ex puede( his full approbetim of the peesent movement. The time had arrived when all classes either community ought to make one combined effort for die purpose of putting down all corruptions and enfranehlAsi ger countrymen. The motion, herb'g been pet ftem the &air, was carried amidst the most d Sir JOSHUA ;t i t ll= sedan much cheering. He said that as the hoer was so far advanced (half-pmt eleven) he felt reluctant to deapy the time of the spitting any longer, bat he could not but express his gratefulness, both on the part of himself and Mr. Thompson, for the very kind manner la which the meeting bad responded to the vote of thanks. Next to the approval of a man's own conscience was Om satisfaction that he carried with him the hind feelings and good will of f his fellow-sees. (Cheers.) As he did not wish to occuy the time of the seating any longer, be would simply, in conclusion, bog have to move a vote of thanks to their worthy choir man. (Cheers.) Mr. THOMPSON bad much ;plasmas' in seconding the modem The motion was then carried unanimously, and the Chair van simply acknowledged the compliment.

The result of • recess of 800 houses showed that of the 7,20:1 inhabitants 320 ocessienally attended public worship, and 400 children attended Sunday schools, one-half of whom only reetivid daily instructions. Missy of these houses seem occupied by 2or 3 families; aid amongst them wen oily 200 bibles sad 40 testaments. An induvrial school had men established, to which 12 destitute boys were admitted. After • lair sad somewhat extended trial, it keel boos found that these combined operations could not be sucemeully Garde 1 out upon the present premises; and the committee spin appealed to a generous publics to aid them in their en deavours for carrying out thew present system of reformatory decipline by which orphan and destitute youths might be fitted to earn their own livelihood as colonists. Fur this end it was proposed to erect • suitable building. Of the twelve boys originally In the refuge, only four remained; one had be en apprenticed to a shoemaker, and several bad been re comosenued is situations, where they appeared to give esti& hot ioa. The infant school was attended daily by 100 to 137 children. There were also an evening school for boys from 10 to 18, ant' a school for teaching needlework, both well attended.

Sir JOHN OSBORNE said it would be much to be re gretted if the ins itutlon, after struggling through its fist difficulties, should now be suffered to fall for want of support. He moved a resolution approving the determination of the committee to previle more suitable accommodation for the destitute and neglened youth of Spitalflelda. The It, T. W.

The Rev. JOSEPH TURNBULL moved: " That, in addition to the ordinary means of instruction, the inculca tion of habits of Widmery is eminently calculated to reclaim toe vicious and depraved, this meeting therefore recommends the ezteusion or the industrial operations 'dread/ carried out by the committee--earnestly commending the objects of such an institution to the sympathy sod support of all who are in eeeee ted in the well-being of a large and hitherto neg lected clam of the community." The Key. J. W. C. PENNINGTON, formerly a slave in New Yore, weeirded the motion, which was adapted, as was a vote of thanks to the chairman at the dose. MAIL ARRANGEMENTS IN SCuTLAND.—The Town Council of Cupar, at their meeting on Friday lea, unani money agreed to a petition the Pottnisstartieneral, against the recent alteraticn in the despatch of the mails ; .nd (sass the FifesAire Journal) they certainly have not overstated their ground of complaint, u 'instance the follow lag :—A letter potted in Caper for Kirkcaldy at 9 p.m. takes 26 hours to reach its denotation; and though both towns are on the line of the Fife Railway, it must be sent via Dundee, Perth, and Stirling, to Edinburgh, where it lies • night, and finds its way nest morning to its destination.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT INVERNIMMI.—At an early hour on Thursday morning the usual quiet was broken by the occurrence of one of the most destructive fires that has happ.ntd in Inverness for many years The premiers de stroyed are the main buildings of the Olesalbyn distillery, the property of Mr. Sutherland, late Provost, with all the large, essay, and nearly new machthery, fermenting toes, &;c., used in carrying on the extensive works. The distillery is situated close by the basin of the Caledonian Canal, sod within a mile of Inverness. On Wednesday night, at eleven o'clock, all the business of the distillery was over, four hundred gallons of spirits being then in the rseeiver, and in the malt mill three hundred quarters of newly ground grain. The malt mill occupied a portion of the second floor of the western wing of the main building, and beneath was the boiler. The house was four storeys in ladght, roofed with tel', and the top fist was the part kcowa as the cooler. Before the fire was di covered, about two o'clock, the fire had extended over the whole of the main wrapping flex after floor In flames, and the blase lighted up the darkness so vivi.ly as to awaken the people is the streets at • considerable distance. At half-past 3 the spirits in the receiver and the low wines aught fire, and bent oat through the roof in on. immense shat of flame. The whole four floors within the walls had fallen. Whiskey, malt, machinery, the root and than, fad the powerful flames that belched from every door and window, and roared high over the blackened walla. The books had been early removed to a place of safety, and the seeks of whiskey in the cellars were /oiled to • safe distance. • cock wee turned on to the roof et the office buildings, eassialeating with the canal at Muirtes Locks and the espies supply of water thus a ff orded prevented t he flames foss eemnisiosostlag to this wing. Another pipe was spited above the lower flat, and a large quantity of water was let is • but the kilns were fora length of time in great danger, a nd were only saved br persevering exertions. Of the main building, with all its extensive and large ma chinery (which could distil 800 bushels of malt per week), nothing was leg but the ruined walls. The 100 sustained in buildings and machinery cannot be estimated at less than 4,0001. or 5,0001. Fortunately they were insured at their vase, wholly, or for the moat part, with the Caledonian In sane.. Company. As the distillery season, however, wee tztreesessencing, and as at least twelve months must elapse k is again in working order, the loss sustained by beset Sutherland is very great. At least 300 bushels of mead malt, 400 gallons of spirits, and 200 gallons of low wise, were consumed. Of the maehinery the two stills dens eon upwards of 1,0001. We may add that the fire is to have originated from the friction of the YAM = d in the malemill.—/nvernese Courser.

My dear sir,- duly renived your letter of the 9th et t hi s mon th, couviling to me the resolution of the Loyal National Repeal Assoc:atilt, expressive, of their epottthet of my recent speech on Irelaad. I can say with all sineeritY that I em much gratified to learn that the view. I been formed and publicly explained with regard to the celamitls( which afflict your country, have met with the concurrence of an association which must contain within Its ranks • large number of 0 oee thoroughly acquainted with the con dition of Ireland, end most honestly anxious to improve It. I can easily believe that upon a case of so much difficulty as that which Ireland now presents, diff tunas of opinion, will be inevitable, and I em not therefore discouraged if the policy I have but very partially sketched should seem torts bat a portion of what is required. I will not now enter late discussion upon the potato you have submitted to me, bat can assure you that to every one of them I will give that oonsideration which, coming (rem such a quarter, the must so eminently merit I m.y remora, how , v . r, that I have no idea that any changes of the law can instantaneously change the condition of Ireland. Anarchy, political and social, cannot give place to order in a moment of time. The long violation of every economical law cannot be remedied at once, nor can the traces of its ruin he obliterated in a single season. I have seen the land, and I have seen the people. I knew the land is fertile, and that the people are industrious. With theft elements, then, I propose to work out the sales: ion of Ire land ; and my policy would so secure to industry its reward, and by perfect ponce in your political and arrangements so estrwt the root of bitterness trona your social sy - tem, that, were it adopted, 1 have faith that Irish men would speedily effect the restoration of lndnad. lam delielthel to believe that a better meting prevails with yea, and with us on the great questions which so ce.cply interest both countries ; and 1 shall especially rejoice it the coming session of parliament exhibit a more cordial airs united effort on the part of the English and Irish members to advance such legislative measures as shall be found necessary for the relief of your suffering country.

To John O'Connell, Esq., Hon. Sec. Loyal National R peal Association of Inland. - - In the cee' of " Lawless e. the Commit+ioner of Metropolitan Police," the Court of Queen's Bei ch gave judgment yesterday against the plaintiff, refusing the application on the ground that it was nut stated whether the information sought for was for the pur pose of bringing an action. The judgment, and the ground upon which the court seemed resolved to go from the c•mmencement, have given a great deal of dismal-faction here. _ _ _ . The indignation of the Orange organs at the delays of the "grand lodge" in producing its report is un bounded. The Mad and Packet, in abusing the "brethren," chime for once in harmony. Ton Mail quotes the commentary of the Packet, and the Packet that of the Mail. Tte latter journal says: In oar opinion it matters but little wheth• ror net the report shall ever come into the world. The uric , rtainty of the hatcher' has so much disturbed the nest, tbiit the eggs have now grown cold, if not addled. By its di liberation the Grand Orange Lodge has lost the opportunity of con. canning the humbler brethren by taking a part is the exposure of the base treachery to which they wi re mule victims: it has also spited the market of the compromisers. • • Thus having found, it wt.uld appear, that there are no documents of any great importance forthcoming, the cry of " a compromise" is found exceedingly convenient. " No withholding of documents (pays the Mail) will remove a single spat from the character of Lord Clarendon.' The truth is, the downfall of thungeism seems to approach at lest ; the sanguinary atrocities of Brae, and the system of corruption that has been disclosed to the world by the ' Grand Ledge," have accelerated the event beyond any eh ince of arresting its progress, and the 'spite they feel I .r them.' selves and for each other cannot be concealed. The report of the Grand Lodge is expected to appear to-day or to-morrow in the shape of a pamphlet. A correspondent of the £vcniep Mall complains, that a most unjust mode of arranging the boundaries. of electoral divisions in the poor law unions has been' proposed by the Boundary Commissioners for Ireland. He states that the townlands that have &mil successfully cleared of paupers are being disunited; from the towns and constituted into rural oistricts,l while a few wretched townlanda are destined to bear . the entire burden under a hich they must inevitably, sink. It is in this way, he states, that it is proposed: to carry out the plan for reducing the areas of, taxation. At the election of town councillors yesterday, Mr. l Reynolds, the member for Dublin, was elected foci three wards. There were only six of the fifteen wards contested, and in four the conservative candi-: dates had the majority. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. OXFORD, Nov. 27.—0 a Saturday evening Mr. Jam .

Meanwhile, the Chinese are repairing the fort at Cosgent Bronco, but the intention of mamas hostilities is matters of conjecture. All was luiet at Canton, and the only news of importance (says the k rienel of China) that we have to communicate is the discovery of a powenal fleet of pirates, by which com mutatel operations suffered eonsiderable delay. Settlements for Tea had continued during the mouths of September, em bracing altogether 400 chops, and showing on the total en issuw ia black as compered with last year, of 9,130,000 lbs., and a decree's of green of 203,0001 h , thus : From July lat to September 24th, 1849, black, 19,406,331 lb. ; green, 1,281,680 lb. ; from July Ist to September 31st, 1848, back, 10,276,210 lb. ; green, 1,484,8781 b. Them figures have, in our op.nien, produced more effect upon the home market than they warranted, for as they only show the quantity shipped up to September 24th, and not the amount of the season's supply of either black or green, we do not consider this information of sufficient im portance to justify this temporary depression in the price of ' black, or the advance in the prim of green Tee, for the completion of the supply may give a very different result to the above. It appears that when the lest advises left Hong- Kong, an active business was going on there, and about 60 chops of congou had bean settled for, at fret; 13 to 20 tact",l 1 but no mention is made of the quality of the tee. It will be hazardous and premature to give any decided . cain a. io i n h a s t p reeen ces tl tao a n y thrutiegdeneral uring iqualityorotfhethisLezirt's that 'may come in. The best advice that Cllll be offered g now I is, to buy cautiously of congou at ls. 9d. and Is. 10d. per lb., but freely of good and fine qualities at from le. to Is. 21d. p-r lb., which latter are now of exceeding good value. The Tea market at home daring the past month has been I quiet, chiefly on account of the report" of the heavy ship ments of the new crop. Congoas have generally suffered a slight decline, whilst in green Teas there has been more then a corresponding improvements, especially in the fine kinds. In fancy Teas we cannot notice any material alteration. Sham Tzatt-Low congou at present rules at about 81, but it really is common ; and though the supply is very small, yet it is equal to the demand. A little business has been done in the bettor sorts, though merely what was re quired for present consumption ; of course the expectation of the " new crop" has tended to Loosen the demand for the small remaining stock of the fins kinds of last year's import. scented orange pekoes are now scarce, and the few just) arrive have been offered at very full prices. Souehongs end plain orange pekoes are in limited demand. Some of the new crop of Commit was sold here on the 23rd at Is. 9d., ex the Mary fiparks, which arrived here on the 21st inst. ; soree.l what below the prices realised for the new Tea at Liverpool. Onazx Tams.-Very ordinary twankay has been sold as low u 31, whilst good has realised Bd. per lb. ; this is chiefly on account of the smallness of the stock compared to the de mand for exportation. Common hysons from 11d. upwards are in demand. Canton young hymns have experienced an advance of about Id. Gunpowders are ld. to 2d. dearer than last month. Two public sales have been held during the month ; one essapriirsg 1,000 chests Assam Time on the 20th realised full rises the other , on the 21st, consisted of about 12 , 000 packages, only 2,000 of which were sold, fotching former pnc. a. The Liverpool market has been unaltered ; a moderate business has been done in fancy Teas, but scarcely any in copious, whilst green Teas have been required. The new crop of congcu has been partly sold, and realised Is. 9d. to le. 91d. per lb., an advance upon the London prices. Two camels with the new crop have arrived at Liver pool and one here. The stock Ia the United Kingdom on the 31st October was 40468,0001 be., against 47,328,0001 h. in 1848, a deficiency of 6,660,000. Svoaa.-There has been an active demand during the latter part of the month, and a rise of 6d. to lc has taken place on all kinds, and considerable parcels have been taken by the trade. This however did not continue, prices having receded during the peat week. The market for refined still continues inactive, and present prices may be quoted-brawn goods, 475. to 475. Bd. ; middling, 48s. to 48s. 6 . 1 . ; good to fine Tillers, 48s. 6.1. to 62a. Correia-There has not been so much business done In Coffee for several years past as during the last and present month. Prices have been fully 6e. to Bs. h' her than is October. Native Callen has nearly 475. and the lowest foreign East India 395. ; last week, however, native Ceylons declined Is. Plantation has sold 665. to 68e. ; mid dliag to good ; fine ordinary to low middling, 60e. to 655. ; good ordinary, 46e. to 481. • pea berry, 665. 6d. to 60a. TALLOW.-Tkis market ' still continua depressed, bat a little business was done last week. P.Y.C. etas realised 37e. to 37e. 6/1., though the finest is held for another 6d. The deliveries fell short of the corresponding week in 1848, and the stock was one quarter more than at the same time last season. Large arrivals have taken place during the month, sad the ohipments from St. Petersham are com pleted, but there still remain about 120,000 make to be received. Money has been more plentiful lately, and a difficulty experienced is employing it. This has given rim to specula tion--topecially in articles of which the price has been aspersed. This abundance has been very perceptible in the Stock Exchange, the funds having risen throughout the week, and closed at 941. The bank has red aced the rate of discount to 21 per mint.-Prom Morse and the rat Circular. WITHDRAWAL OP SIR W.
