COURT OF RING'S BEXCH.—Jura 27. r.GG V. LORD COLERAINE. This action was brought by therplaintiff. a well known genunitb, to recover of Lord Coleraine, better known as Calonel Hanger, the atnonet of a bill for work done to bia order, so long ago as the year 1777. His Lord ship in 1817 went through the bill and affixed his ini tials to the items, which he admitted to be correct, and afterwards paid 35/. on account, reducing the debt to 131. 14s. exclusive of interest. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the plaintiff, admitted that be could rot insist on interest upon the ordinary items, but claimed it upon a draft given on the 7th of March, 1778, for 171. 61. 6d., the interest on which was 361. 7s. (A laugh.) The Loan Cuter JUSTICE held that interest was not payable on the order produced, and The Jury, under his directions, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 131. 14s. BREAKING THE RULES Of THE KING'S BENCH PRISON. . REST V. JONES, ESQ. Mr. NARRTAT stated, that this was an action against Wm. Jane*, Es q. Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, for the escape of a person named Young, then a prison er in the rules. The Learned Gentleman said he should call witnesses to prove that the Prisoner was seen at a coffee-house, near the Surrey Theatre; at the Swan Tavern, in Arnndel-street, Strand ; and at other plates. This action, therefore, was to recover against the Marshal the amount of judgment, debt, and costs. Thomas Middleton produced office copy of judgment in the Court of King's Bench, in a cause Reay e. Young," on the 12th of May, 1841, being in an action on a bill of exchange, total damages and costs amount ing to 419/. Other witnesses were called to prove the alleged facts. Mr. GURNEY, for tie defendant, said he should show that the whole of this was a preconcerted plan to get the Marshal into a trap, in order to make him pay the costs. The Linen CHIEF JUSTICE said be thought the Jury would be satisfied the plaintiff's case was sufficiently made out in evidence to entitle him to recover against the Marshal. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 4191. and costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 27. DASHWOOD. CLERK, V. GARNHASI. This was an actios for a malicious arrest. The plain tiff was a clergyman of Suffolk, and the defendant, a tradesman of Eteocles ' in the same county. It appeared that the defendant ha d furnished some dresses and milli nery to the plaintiff's wife, after baying received notice not to trust her. The plaintiff obtatued a fortune of bOOOl. with his wife, but some disagreement having arisen between them, and her property in Jamaica being r tther deteriorated, he allowed her IDOL per annum for the maintehance of herself and the education of her danghter. This annuity had not been regularly paid since April, 1819. The 5111 on which the plaiouff had been arrested was for goods supplied from December in that year to December, 1821, and amounted to 491.4 s The plaintiff called witnesses to prove the notice and the arrest, and the defendant produced evidence of the deli very of the goods. The Jury found a verdict fur the de fendant, on the ground that there was a probable cause of t. Mr. S.rgeant TADDIr appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Vattonax for the defendant. CONSISTORY COURT, FAIDAT, Juan 27. cauevry AND ADULTERY.—LEY ogairest LEY. This was a question on the admission of a libel brought In on behalf of Mrs. Harriet Matilda Richardson Ley, the wife of John Lev, of the parish of St. George in the East, county of Middlesex, and diocese of London, in a suit of separation and divorce, by reason of cruelty and adultery, promoted by her against her husband. Dr. ADAMS and Dr. JESINSR, as counsel for Mrs. Rich ardson Ley, contended that the libel was admissible ; but Dr. LUSIIINGTON, on behalf of the husband, opposed its admission. The libel, which consisted of 28 articles, v.as in substance this :—it pleaded the marriage of the parties on the 18th of June, 1816, at Ringstead in Nor folk, and recited that they very shortly afterwards came to reside in London; that a few days only after the mar riage, Lev treated his wife at times with much contempt and indifference, and at others manifested so mach us- Iri ndness to her, by quarrelling without provocation, and addressing her in the most disgusting langnage, that she w.,s frequently obliged to sleep apart from him. On one occasion it was necessary for Ley, in the performance of his duty, as an excise-officer (assistant inspector of the river Thames), to reside some time at Gravesend; bin wife accompanied him, and in the presence of the people with whom they lodged, he very seriously ill-used and l.urt her, by dragging her violenltly to her room, and knocked her against the stair-railings in - doing so. It was farther stated, that in consequence of these him, she for some time refused to coh abit wi th him, un til induced to consent to live with him again by the media tion of the wife of a brother officer of the same depart ment ; but no sooner was Wen-conciliation effected, than lie renewed his old course of behaviour by addressing her in the most obscene terms before strangers. On their • return to town, Mrs. Ley, by her husband's permission. went down into Norfolk to visit her relations; but daring her absence he was frequently visited at their lodgings in the New-road by one Harding, a female with whom hebad cohabited previously to his marriage with the party propo nent, who had acknowledged herself to be pregnant by him. and with whom, during Mrs. Ley's stay at Norfolk, he frequently renewed at their lodgings his illicit inter course. On Mrs. hey's return to town, she was greeted with the most gross and opprobrious epithets from Ley, by which she was so terrified that her health became much affected. The 10th article of the libel charged that some time in the latter end of the Oar 1816, he without any cause, flew into a violent passion with Mrs. hey ; and offer insulting her with his accustomed 'obscenities, and threatening her with personal violence, at length seised bar with great force, and held her suspended by the legs, with her head downwards, for several minutes, which occasioned her blood to determine violently towards her bead; by reason of which violence, she then suffered great pain and anguish ; and her sight bad beep since inst.- :tally affected—an additional consequence being, that this ill treatment occasioned a palatal disease in her throat, which has ever since continued, having hitherto baffled the skill of her medical attendants. The II tb ar• tick propounded certain acts of violence into which Ley was betrayed towards his wife, on account of some differ ence of opiniou that be entertained touching the purchme of e tea-kettle. The 12th was of a more serious charge ter; for it set forth, that in consequence of his indiscri minate amours, he communicated to Mrs. Ley a parlien -1 it disease, which he subsequently acknowledged to bsve contracled, and for which he expressed so much contri tion, threatening moreover to•m 'lre away with himself if she would not forgive Linn; that she cooseuted to return home a ith him from !vs sister's, at whose house she first discovered her unfortunate condition. In July. 1317. however. having gone to Gravesend, together, with one or two. young ladies who were ou a vist to them, Mrs. Ley, it was stated, was once more persecuted by the brutal fury of her husband; for, happening oneday to find that a young woman, who had. formerly been their ser vast, but had quitted them. hal calla on Mr.. Ley, be atinscd.bis wife to so shocking a manner, that the young Wks quitted site house. They bad scarcely retnrnerl e 3.ey .up into the room where they wets sitting , and catching up the latter in his arms, lie of the window in an indecent- posture, sued • he 'retold throw her down into tit: ettee• before J.eff rope li iiiii6.. ( with his pits. 0 held last est of threstreed tbot THE STATESMAN below, through which several persons were at that time passing. He took her into the room again, however, and ' threw her down with such violence on the floor, that she has never since quite recovered from the effect of the bruises she sustained. The other articles of this libel charged various other acts of cruelty, such as Ley's catching bold of his wife by her throat, and occasioning a tumour that had formed there, in consequence of his pre vious violence, to increase so as to occasion her extreme pain and anguish : his adulterous connexion with a wo man named Foster and other females at Gravesend ; hit employing a man named John Scott, at Gravesend, in 1821, to abuse his wife in the streets ; his kicking her, and pinching her neck so violently as to tear the flesh, &c. To the libel were annexed the usual exhibits, prov ing the marriage, and a letter, marked B. from Ley, to a friend of his, a clerk in the Excise, in which sours allu sions to the woman, " Mother Foster," to his wife, and to " his loss," were couched in language too profligately obscene and filthy, to be noticed in any more particular manner. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON directed the libel to be admitted, upon au understanding that the 4th, 7th, 10th, and 17th articles sbonld be reformed in certain points of the plea, as suggested by the Court, and that the 16th ar- L ticle should be struck out. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. PRINCE PAUL ESTERRAZY. Yesterday, Mr. BOLLAND appeared on behalf of the King, in the case of Prince Paul Esterhazy, Ambassa dor Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Vienna, against Viva MARIE DE BETTEIA, praying the Court to detain the prisoner in custody un til the ensuing Sessions. The Learned Counsel said he held in his hand four affidavits • the first was that of Sit Richard Birnie (made on the Bench), stating that on the otb ult. Mrs. Percy. the wife of Mr. Humphrey Percy, of Charlotte-street, Fiteroy-sqnare, appeared before him at Bow-street and swore ao affidavit. Mrs. Percy l s affidavit stated that a few days ago she board Mons. Vite Marie de Bettera, who lodged in her house, complained much of the ill-treatment he had re ceived from his Excellency the Prince Paul Esterhazy, In not paying him his just demands, and that if he were not settled with, lie would take his pistols, and first blow nut the Prince's brains. 'and afterwards destroy himself. These threats the prisoner expressed in such passionate language, and with many oaths, that the de• ponent verily believed the Prince Esterhazy's life to be in danger from him. The third affidavit was that of Mr. Wright. a medical Gentleman, made yesterday, stating the indisposition of Mrs. Percy, and from her being now in the last stage of pregnancy, it would endanger her life to come into Court to give evidence against the prisoner. The last affidavit read by the Learned Counsel was that of Prince Paul Esterbazy, which, in substance, stated, that from the violent manner of the prisoner. his constantly annoying him, and from the statement of Mrs. Percy, be verily believed his life to be in danger. Mr. ADOLPHUR asked the date of the Prince's afliiavit. Mt. BOLLAND answered, the 7th of 31areli last. Yes, said Mr. ADOLPHUA and upon that a ffi davit my client was taken into custody, and bound over to keep the peace towards the Prince, himself in 400!., and two anreties in 200/. each ; and although the Prince received no annoyance from Monsieur De Betters from that time, my Learned Friend comes forward and modestly claims the detention of this gentleman for upwards of two months. As to the affidavit of Mrs. Percy, it appeared to amount to nothing, for how could she understand the blustering of his client in Germain ? The affidavit of Mr. Wright, the surgeon, was worse than nothing. In the whole course of his practice be never read or heard of such a request being put forward upon such affilavits.— The Learned Gentleman, in stron4 language. asked why the Prince Esterhazy bad allowed a whole Term to ex pire without applying to the Court of King's Bench ? Surely Mrs. Percy was not so ill but she might during the last Term have gone to the Court above, and made the necessary affidavit. Bat that would not answer the purpose intended by the persecutor of his client. Mr. HOLLAND was about to account for articles of the peace not being exhibited against Monsieur de Bettera, but he was interrupted by Mr. AnoLeitus, who requested the production of the commitment. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Bevil) said that from the whole of the case, as stated by Mr. Bollard, no satisfactory an swer was given to the ptlsoner's Counsel for articles of the peace not having been exhibited during last Term ; and certainly upon the affidavits exhibited, the Bench would not be borne out in detaining the prisoner in gaol till the next Session. Mr. HOLLAND did not require that Monsieur de Betters should remain in prison for two months, but that he should give new securities upon his commitment of the 20th May. Mr. ADOLPHUS took a general view of the whole case, arguing from the Laws and Constitution of England, that nothing short of oppressiOn somewhere could have kept the prisoner in gaol from the 20th May until the present time, when he had clearly shown that on the 7th March he entered into sureties towards the Prince Esterhazy, and that not even the shadow of proof was offered of committing in any wt y a breach of his recognizance.. The prisoner was com mitted to the Sessions. Here he now was, ready to take his trial; why did not his prosecutor come forward like a brave man and prosecute? Did Prince Esterhazy suppose that England was filled with Bastiles, as other countries which might be mentioned? He would tell that Prince, that be nor all the Princes upon earth—no, not our Lord the King, could keep his client any longer immured in a prison. The Learned Gentleman concluded by requesting the imme diate discharge of Mons. de Bettera. Mr. Manic, of the Treasury, who sat on the Bench, in quired the practice in such cases I—He was answered, that it depended on the Bench whether he would be discharged now or at the end of the Sessions. The CHAIRMAN said, he would, us a matter of course, be discharged at the conclusion of the Sessions. Mr. ADOLPHUS remarked, that if his client had bees 6 common individual, he would have been forthwith die- I charged. The prisoner was then removed from the Court in the cus tody of the turnkeys. MIDDLESEX SESSIONE.—Ii will be in the recollection of the Public, that on the 2d ofJ one, the Ren.W Brown, was committed by the Magistrates of Bow-street, on a charge preferred by two soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards. We have now great satisfaction in men tioning the complete failure of their malignantaecusation, as the Grand Jury ou the Ist thy of Sessions rejected the bill of indictment. OLD BAILEY.-JULT 27th. -rm..- Mary Davage, aged 40, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Davage the yoanger.—The .prisoner lia(1 been committed on the Coroner's Inqnisition ; hut it , appearing that the certificate had not been signed by all the Jurymen, the Learned Judge Holroyd, declared it to be bad in Law, and that the charge against her could not be supported. The Grand Jury bad also thrown out the bill against tier. both on the charge of Murder, and Manslaughter, and therefore they could not proceed to trial—She was immediately discharged. John Page was indicted f. , r killing and allying Benjamin Evans, in a pugilistic contest.—Mr. Henry LW, the Surgeon, who attended the deceased, nas called upon his recognisance. and not appearing the Court directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner. Mr. Justice Holroyd observing, that the testimony of that Gentleman was the only evidence that could be re ceived. as to the cause of the death, which proceeded from a cut near the ihamb, that s produced a lock jaw, , he was censequently acquitted. Eliza Brookes, was indicted for stealing a Silver :Patch, the property of Elizabeth Ewer. The prisoner (a very interesting young woman,) lodged it appeared in the House of the prosecutrix.The watch in question had been hung up in a back parlour from whence it was stolen, but there was no pretence for charging the prisoner. with the theft. The Jury, without troubling his Lord ship to sum up the evidence, returned a verdict of acquittal.—On bearing which, she fell into the arms of the Officers in attendance, and was carried out of Court. Vt• a l en gne Hodgson, aged 38, and Sarah Hodgson , ' alias Bailey, were indicted for stealint divers articles of wearing apparel, the property of Thomas Morris. — The prose: star is a Tailor, residing in Cow Cross. The prisoners had lodged with him about two months, and having reason to suspect that he had been robbed by the prisoners, sent for Avis, an officer of Bow-street. who searched the female prisoner, and found a duplicate, fur a table-cloth, which proved to be the property of the prosecutor, as also several duplicates, for wearing ap parel, his property , , pledged with different pawnbrokers, The Jury acquitted Hodgson, and found Bailey Guilty, John Adana was put to the Bar, on an indictment charging him with breaking and entering the dwelling house of --• Harby, of Lincoln's-inn Gateway, and ideating therein 25 watches, and other articles, the pro perty of John Parton, on the morning of Saturday last. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing, but not in a dwelling-house. John Mackintosh, a watchman, was put to the Bar on ao indictment charging him with stealing in the parish of St. Margaret, Wistininster, on the ad of June, front the person of Sarah Collins, a watch, and its appendages, the property of Samuel-Collins. The prusecutrix stated, that on the morning of the day in question. she was walking near Hyde Park, about two o'clock. The prisoner was on duty, and it being very wet, she asked him if he would inform her where she could dry her clothes, and get some refreshment. The prisoner said he could, and took her to the corner of Tattersall's yard, but the house was notopen. She was so extremely tired, that she sat down on the step, and the prisoner went away, and returned again about a quarter be• fore four. He then offered to take her home to his wife. She agreed to accompany lain ; but instead of his house he took her to the Alinonry, Westminster. They went up stairs, awl the a i toe ss not considering this place to be what he bad said, asked him the reason; when he replied, that lie lived at a public-house, awl she would be wore comfortable where she was. She only took off her gown, and laying down on the bed immedi ately fell asleep. Her watch was at this time by her side, and the prisoner must have seen it when he helped her to take oft her gown, which she could not do herself in consequence of the wet. She awoke about en hour afterwards, and found the prisoner and her watch gone. He had not taken any money from her. She got up and asked the landlady if she • knew who the prisoner was, hat she said she did not know. Witness then went to the watch-house ; and by means of a watchman and an officer, the prisoner was traced to his lodging., where the watch was form , !. The witness described herself as a married woman, anal resident at %Vandsworth. It also appeared that the prisoner had stopped souse time with the prosecutris. The prisoner, in 11;s defence, denied having taken the watch with a felonious intent. Mr. Justice HOLROTD summed up the eviddnee to the Jury, who consulted for sometime and then retired. On their return, after an absence of an hour, they brought in a verdict of POLICE. hlaNstos-Hocsn.--in Irish woman, named /Catty Creeduit, charted her husband for haring kilt Err on Saturday night. She stated to Mr. Alderman Co,K that her villain of a husband was in the habit of " maciating" lwr, and " tearing her limb from limb," and that he had often " cot her to pieces ;" but, in particular, oh Saturday when he quite kilt her, and she never mote expected to go about, she felt so destroyed in her inside. Mr. Alderman Cox desired the woman to describe her cruel husband's conduct more correctly; for, badly as ' he might have acted, the object of his inhumanity was still in the land of the living, thank GOD. hlrs. Creedon persisted in saying that her husband had kilt her, and she wondered how any one could think otherwise, who heard her say that he had " ciated" her. Mr. Ald. Cox was at a loss for the exact meaning el the word " maciate," but Mrs. Creedon's husband ex. plained it, by showing the marks of arils upon his face, which his partner had scratched into a comparison with the Indian tattooing. He said his wife had put him in, that condition, and that he never in his life kilt her. Mrs. Creedon—Oh ! Paddy, bow can you say that when you know, and the Lord knows, that you kilt me a thousand times? sure, you're always murtheriog me. Mr. Creedon—Well, and bow can 1 help it ; ar'nt you always murtheriog me ? Mrs. Creedon—Never, Paddy, never, but when you desarves it. Your Worship, I know what he's about. I keep him in victuals and drink, and instead of keep-, ing me lie wants to keep a woman. Bin Alderman Cox—Oh ! now I see how it is. There's a little jealousy in the case. The - husband declared there was a great deal. His wife was a little ould, and did'nt like to see him look at a young woman ; she had but a few days ago thrown a pail of dirty water over him, and he thought he might give her a slash or two , and he did so; h e ju st touched her promiscuous, and she happened to fall. Alderman Cox—Well, the - best thing I can do is to bind you both over. The wife vowed that she didn't care what became of her, so that her thief of a husband was locked up, and the husband thought any state happy from which his wife was excluded. They were ordered to find bail, which, failing to procure, they were sent to the Compter, and ordered to be kept in separate apartments. The wo man went away huzzaing, and swearmg that she would be master of the fellow yet. Gut LONA Li..—Thotnas Whiston, one of the City night patrol, on his way home from duty, a little after six o'clock on Sunday last, through Skinner-street, Snow hill, observed two fellows before him, one coming a basket, and the other • sack across his shoulders, appa rently loaded; he stopped the hindermost man, the one with the basket, and getting no satisfactory account from him, as to its contents or where be got it from, took him to the Compter. The other fellow ran off and made his escape. The prisoner turned out to be a fellow named Edw. Bartholomew, whose person and character were well known to the officers. The property found on him was what is termed a four-dozen basket, nearly filled with tea of various qualities, hastily thrown together, and a canvas sugar bag, with an additional qnastity of tea, of a similar description. The prisoner said he found' it in Fleet-market. The Magistrate remanded the pri soner, and directed the circumstance to be advertised, Upon the prisoner's being brought up yesterday be fore the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Waithman, Mr. James Ware, appeared, and stated that he bad opened a small shop as a grocer and tea-dealer, No. 10, St. George's-place, Wahvorth.road, for the first time 0:• Friday last. No one slept in the premises, but be left all safe, when he fastened up on Saturday night, and on his coining to business early on Monday morning, be found the shop door lock had been picked, the premises enter , ed, and nearly the whole of the stock taken away. All tea - ca nisters, except one, were empty, and scattered about the door ; a number of .(naves of sugar were also gone. '• His cash he had very fortunately taken Onto with ldm. to his private lodgings in Cbarlotte-street, Blackfriars'- road. _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ The Officer produced dae property found tin the pri snner's possession. and Mr. Ware was able to swear posi tively to the basket and the bag.—The prisoner was committed. bliotoonorren-systrxe.—Samitel Simmons, a footman in the wile. of the Earl of Cardigan. was yesterday brought to the office upon a warren', charged with a desperate assault upon S.o6eld, one of the officers of this es' r . nishment. Sea sed said that himself and Bellard, another officer, we'e in attendance, on Wednesday night, at the Earl of Verulam's house in Grosvenor-square, when there was a grand rout; when the copopy were departing, the Duke of Gloucester's carriage and that of the Princess Sophia of Gloucester were called for, and on their driving up, the coachmen of the Eat of Cardigan and the Earl of Wilton attempted to cut in be fore them : it being the usual respect paid to the members of the Royal Family to suffer their carriages to take precedence of all others, even though they should be out of the priper line, whereas on this occasion they were not so. The officers immediately interfered, and to the performance of their duty were violently attacked by about fifty servants; bat this man, whom the officers have long known as a most insolent and abusive person, at all the fashionable roots, struck Sco field a desperate blow on tt.e back of the head and knocked him down; and not content , with this, he then endeavoured to force !dm under the horses' feet, in which, he being a pow erful fellow, he would probably have succeeded, had not Bellard promptly come to the assistance of his brother officer, and rescued him from his perilous situation. The defendant was ordered to End good bail for the assault. QUEEN-SQUARE.—YeStarday R. MARTIN, Esq. M.P. came to this office, to obtain a warrant against the coachman of Sir B. Hohhouse, for wantonly and cruelly heeling his horses. lie lamented that notwithstanding the numerous convictions which tad lately taken place since the p kissing of this Act, still the cruel practice of 11l treating horses is ein- Sneed. lie also was sorry to see how cruelly (legs were used, and said he would use his utmost exertions to urine in a Bill for its prevention. , The Magistrate heartily wished he might succeed, and granted the warrant. TON NOTORIOUS MASON.—Yesterday William Real jun. one of the Police Officers of the Hatton-garden Establish ment, accompanied by Mr. Harmer's Chief Clerk, attended before the Grand Jury for Middlesex to prefer a Bill ag ‘inet the above notorious character, for returning from transport ation before the term of 14 years was expired. and a true hill was found. Read had Meson (who also went by the name of Morgan) three times is custody on capital charge,, fur each of which he was tried ; the first was kr robbing a watchman, in the Back-road, Islingicin, of a silver watch._ On this charge he was acquitted, owing to the buitg.it,g manner in which the prosecutor gave his evidence. Fu,, next was for burglariottsly entering and robbing the 801 l in the Pound public-house, (now known by the name of the Union,) in Spa-fields, of which he was also acquitted ; Lis identity not being sufficiently proved. Tne third charge was for burglariously entering and robbing a Menet triter Warehouse in Watling-street; on this charge, at the Sept. Sessions, ISIO, he was capitally convicted, and received sen tence of death, which sentence was afterwards commuted for transportation to New South Wales; there he robed the Governor's house, for which he was tried and again cast for death. On the day appointed for his exocutims, he was brought to the foot of the gallows, where he received a se vere whipping, and his sentence of death was cha gel. to transportation for life to Van Diemen's Land ; from the, latter place he effected his escape, and returned to London, where be disguised himself, and moot by different names. as sociated with the most desperate characters, and committed several burglaries and robberies. He was at length taken end committed to the Borouirli Comptes., for robbing the Cran , brook waggon of 13001. Two hours before he effected his escape from that prison, Wm. Read, the officer, laid a de tainer against him before Alderman J. J. Smith, at the Town Hall, for returning from tree apertation. CItESTER SUNNIER CIRCUIT, 1533. THE HON. CHARLES WARREN AND THE HON.

Just Oth, BACON.—It is a curious circunistaree that the specula tors in Bacon never seem to be aware till? se ,t dealing in a perishable article, until the season comes round for manufac turing a fresh stock. They do not seem to perceive the great difference between being a holder of old Wheat, and a holder of old Bacon. until the Bacon has become old : then they flint it out by the poor people rejecting it, unless they can get it at reduced prices. Having begun to speculate, they are compelled to so en, to support their previous operations; for it is well known, that In a speculation, the moment the hot !- eta cease to bay, the market begins to fall. So it has been in the present case. There has never been any demand, foe consumption, to justify an advance, since the price was about 311 s. handed. It no one 'should give way, so as to oc sten a shock to the market, the probability is, that priers will go gradually down, as they did last )ear; perhaps not quite so low; but there is no saying, as the stock iv unques tionably heavy. A good deal is now put into the hands of the brokers, and great efforts are made to sell through the Dryers: a sure sign of a heavy and falling market. Amidst all tbis contention, the hardest case is that of the retailer. who was prevented by the high price from making any profit when there was a little demand; and uow that the denten l is almost at an end, he is crammed with goods for which he has no sale.—On board 38!. to 39s.—Landed, Ws. to 4k..
