s , 4 ,i , i. , ' d V. '• P. ~' L LAW INTELLIGENCE. —.ow— COURT OF CHANCERY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS. MR. ABERNETHY AND " THE LANCET." SOLICITOR.UTNEMAL resumed the adjournment of this apt.lreation far an injunction. He said that if his Lordship had k dulged him with only a few minutes more on Saturday last, he sbeithl have finished his reply. The LORD CHANCELLOR remarked that this was a matter beyond eontroul ; for the Chancellor had no place wherein to bir!d his' Court, except by the indulgence of the Henchers of Lin. scan'. Inn, which in Term time could not be extended beyond a es rt..in hour ; anti other appointments called off his attention. Sit. SOLICITOR-GENERAL then proceeded, and compared tble ease with the manuscripts of Lord Clarendon and the letters 41 Mr. Pope. lie contended that the publishers were doing an act in breach of an implied trust—that the principle was the same whether there were a manuscript or not ; hitt the manuscript did rim U was made by a pupil in the room, and there WAA there. Sure no diffeeence ; and even if Mr. Abemethy had given his pupil; a lithe l / 4 raphic copy, that would net have authorised its publication . • nor would there be any di ff erence if the lecture were taken down by a short-hand writer. Surely he could not make it his own by die mere manual operation of taking it down. The leoun CHANCELLOR stated this to be an application for au injunction, and the application appeared to be made on three grounds ! First, that Mr. Abernethy had a literary property ; second, that a trust had been violated ; third, that there bed been a breach of contract : ane the application had been met by objections on the ground of delay, and that there ought to have been an action commenced by Mr. Abernethy to establish his right. If there were a right the Court would grant an injunction, notwithstanding what had been urged at the bar; for it the Court Gould trot grant an injunction what had hitherto been done was wrong, arid the jurisdiction of tbc Court would have been grounded upon usurpation. Authors would indeed he put in a perilous situation if t hey were obliged to bring an action every time their copyright were invaded. An objection had been raised that Mr. Abernethy could be said ta be a lecturer only at connected with the Hospital, and that those who were entitled to attend could not be put under any prohibition for publishing lectures, which would require consideration. When this came first before the Court (said his Lordship) it was put on the ground of literary property, and in this view he thought the manuscript ought to be produced, as the only legal evidence, and for waht of it he did not then see how an injunction could be granted. Tire question was now put on the Krona of a breach of trust arising from a contract, and it wax to be inquired how far that contract between bkr..lhernethy arid his pupils could affect the publishers; aril his Lordship wished to be dearly undeistood, that anything be might say on the case did not refer to Professors at Universities, who delivered lectures front. taareaseeipts. His Lordship added, that he did not think a Court of Equity should grant an injunction until the question had been tried at Law ; that the cases of injunctian granted for restraining the publication of letter's were very strong. In one of those cases, the person who wrote the letter had said se his correspondent, " wake what use you please of the letter," and yet it had been decided that that only gave a quasi property in the letter to the person to whom it was written, who could not receive any pecuniary profit or emolument whatever by publishing it. betted were com munications coupled with a trust and confidence. Hid Lordship then concluded his remarks by stating, that without entering at the present into the consideration of the duties attached to Mr. Aber nethy sea rurgeon at the Hospital, he thought the subject-matter of the present application resolved itself into two questions : First, trhether there was any legal contract between Mr. Abernethy and the publishers whereon be could sustain an action ? secondly, If there were not, could an injunction be applied for and granted by this Court? His Lordship knew not how the defendants obtained the means of publishing these lectures; whether any of the pupils communicated them, or whether they were written by some short hand writer who was not • pupil, or by the publishers themselves. He coneluded by stating, that he would give his judgment on Fri day morning. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15. DUNCAN V. TREND AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff' iu this cruse was Mr. Andrew Duncan. a solicitor of New Inn, and the defendant'. were printer anti publisher of the Morning Advertiser eewapaper. The declaration imputed, that the defendants had, in their peper, published • gross and scan dalous libel, of and concerning the plaintiff. The alleged libel, it will be in the recollection of our readers, was contained in the report orthe proceedings at Ross-st-ert police-office, where the plaintiff had been twice examined on charge of indecent behaviour to two Bide girls. On the trial no evidence was given by the plaintiff to disprove that be had been examined at Bow-street on the cherge alluded to, and the Jury found a verdict in favour of the defer.adan ATTORNEY-GENERAL on a former day moved and ob. tuned a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, as being contrary to law, on the ground that, whether true or Case, the defendants were not in law justified to publish police reports. This morning the case came on for argument, when ,Me. Hoxv, 'tin the absence of Alr. Brougham) proceeded to sTitiw cause aviast the rule ; he said that the present application embraced two impottant qtestions, the one as to the right and pri vileges of juries, and the other as to the liberty of the press. If the doctrine of the Attorney-General was to be acknowledged, it would in future only be for a jury in • case of libel to .flo through the formula of giving a verdict against a defendant, without taking the tscruble of thinking fur themselves. Upon tale tetra his Lordship had, in that candid manner which always distinguished him, put the matter 'fairly to the jury--he had left the whole body and apt err of the case, including the question of malice, to their consider ation, and did not confine their attention to the mere question of olidaposifig. writing, or publishing, and that was the proper way of putting it, and the Jury, in the fair exercise of that power which peculiarly belonged to them, had found fur the defendants. • e thought that this was the first instance in an action of tort , oq t an attempt w set aside the verdict of a Jury, after their tind tag in favour of the accused. The present was similar to e case of cries. eon. ; and the Court would recollect, that in a cries. con. action, brought by a gentleman, one of the Fellows of bier_ ten College, and which was tried in that Court. the evidence on the part of the plaintiff was so strong as to induce all who heard it to suppose it next to impossible the plaintiff should not re. cover, yet the Jury found • verdict for defendant, and the Court refused to diatutb that verdict, on the Found that it amounted to an acquittal of the defendant of a criminal act, yet this case was allestards actually carried to the House of Lords, sad upon the same evidence as was adduced in that Court, and obtained • divorce against his wife— The LORD CHIEN Jusetcw.--Yon are wrong, Mr. Holt, be did produce other evidence io the House of Lords. It was a letter ...Lich the rules would not permit to be read as evidence against the defendant in the action, although it was legal to read it against the Wife of the plaintiff. MT. HOLT then referred to Norris ~ Tyler, Cooper's Reports, p. 11; the Court there refused to disturb a verdict, because the case ammited of a criminal nature. The present ease was also most certainly of a criminal nature, because the plaintiff might have pro. ceeded against the defendants by indictment, in which case the Go . .irt would not disturb a verdict of acquittal. The Loan Curse JUSTICE here interrupted the Learned Counsel by saying, that he had a suggestion to throw out, which wilutd put an end to this cause, and that was, whether both parties would consent to a stet prortssus teing entered. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL had no objection. Aslife HOLT would wish to consult his friend illr. Brougham. AsOOLD CHIEF JUSTICE—WeII, I dare say, 31r.Hroughain will be here in a few minutes. [At this moment Mr. Brougham en tered the Court] LORD Crum , Jusvict then put the question to him. Mr. Bsoundras did not like to take upon himself to consent to she proposition ; he would first like to consult his clients. LOUD CHIEF JUSTICE-1 think this is a case in which you are well justified in exercising your own discretion. Mr. *laminae's, after consulting with Mr. Holt, consented, and a rule for • stet processas was accordingly directed to be •drawn up. Hy des arrangement each party pays his own costs.

INSPECTION OF THE FIRST BATTALION OF THE COLDSTREA3I GUARDS. The Ist Battalion of the COldstream Guards was in spected yesterday morning iu Hyde Park, by the Duke of York. His Royal Ifighness, attended by his prisons! Staff, and accompanied by the, Duke of Cambridge, and several General Officers, appeared on the ground before 9 o'clock, and was received with a general vedette. • The Battalion, after having marched past in the usual manner, was mancenvred by Colonel Bouverie. The formations and movements were executed with celerity and precision, and the firing was esculent. Nothing could exceed the fine formations into square. The reformations into column. were rapidly executed, and the whole of the manoeuvres were most admirably performed. This fine Battalion re ceived not only the well-merited praise of his Royal High ness, but the wa-en commendations of every military officer present. There was a large concourse of spectators, and the morning was highly propitious for witnessing such an imposing•military spectacle. Till: LATE ELOPEMENT. • T COURT OF CIIA,NCLAY, 'DUBLIN, SATURDAY, Ju xz 11. TN THE MATTER OF TUE HON. DENNIS RIN011•111, A MINOR. The SOLICITOII.OENERAL moved that the report of Master Connor, to whom it had been referred on a former occasion to in quire " whether it would be for the benefit of the minor, that any and what .;-ps should be taken to annul the marriage between him and Mary itingitam, otherwise Persse, his wife, should be con. firmed, the sari! 3laster having reported that it would not be for his benefit. The Solicitor stated, that it was admitted by the tern of the reference that this marriage had been celebrated strictly according to Scotch law, on s Sunday, in open church, and by a Clergyman in regular orders. and that it was of course to all intents and purposes a good and binding marriage, both in Eng land and Ireland. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the part of Lady Clanmorris, the mother of the minor, prayed the Court that the confirmation of the report might he postponed, until she could bave an oppor tunity of obtaining the opinion of some eminent English Civilians, as to the validity of the marriage. The Learned Attorney was proceeding to remark upon the means by which the marriage had been effected, when he was interrupted by The CHANCEL. Loa, who said that the strictest investigation had taken place in Chamber, into all the circumstances of the transac tion, and that not the slightest imputation could ten upon any of the family of the young lady, save her brother, Mr. Robert Persse, who had been attached. Mr. Sault ix observed, that Mr. Persse, who was a very young man, was in every respect blameless, except that from a feeling of delicacy towards his sister, he hadaccompanied the young couple to Scotland. The CHaXCEt.LOR was pleased to direct that the motion should stand over until theopinion octhe English Civilians should be oh rained ; but expressed his desire this should be done with as little delay AS possible. Mr. Bingham appeared at the motion, and, as we understood, in the rust cdy of the Pursuivant of the Court of Chancery. Mr. PLUNKETT stated that he wax but sixteen, but his appear. ance would indicate a more mature age. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL also stated that bit property amounted to 8010. a-year, but that he could make no settlement either upon Miss Perrse or upon the issue of the marriage, as the will of his father directed lie should settle 1001. a.year by way of jointure on his wife, and 1,0011. on the younger children for every 1,000/. she should bring him ; and unluckily the lady in this case was without fortune. POUCH. GUILDHALL. James RileflB, a.very decent looking man, was brought tip be. fore Sir R. C. GLYN. charged with a description of offence which is very rarely a matter of accusation, against an individual, reliev ing, comforting, and assisting a felon ; and which if substantiated against him, would subject him to the same measure of punishment as the principal felon himself. The complainant, a 31r. Joseph Sweet, who stated himself to be living on his property, and residing in New Gravel-lane and at Homer -ton, said that at the last Old Bailey Sessions the Grand Jury had returned a true bill against a man named John Harford, for stealing a cow, value 81., the property of one Thomas Howse. This man, Harford, was kept out of the way ever since, to avoid being apprehended upon the warrant which had been issued in con_ sequence; but the prisoner Rogers had admitted knowing some thing about him, and indeed must have had sotne communication with him, as lie had even made a distress for him subsequently to the indictment having been found against him. He (the prose cutor) had met the prisoner the previous afternoon in IVhitecrose street; and as he had chosen to conceal what lie knew respecting Ilarford, and where he might be found, he considered he must be answerable in law for the consequences of such concealment, and had accordingly given hint in custody. The prosecutor here produced a small bundle of papers and let • tens, and was about to read them, as proofs to establish his case against the prisoner, when Sir ]hexes) observed that as this was an extraordinary charge. and the putd.ahnnent very severe, the offence should be most clearly made out by evidence, which it did not appear to him Mr. Sweet was prepared to do. There must be strung testimony to show, not only that the prisoner had comforted and assisted the alleged felon, but that he knew at the time that he had actually committed the felony. Here e•ir R. called :Jr. Teague, the Governor of the Compter, to him, and after a few moment's conversation with him, turning to Mr. Sweet, told him he might put up his papers again, as from what he understood of the circumstances he should die. chalice the prisoner. It hat interest Mr. Sweet. had in the affair relative to the cow, between Howse and Harforti, or how he meant to show that the prisoner was aware of the guilt of the latter, did not of course transpire. Rogers was accordingly discharged, and apparently to the cha. green of Mr. Sweet. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterdai ; John King, Riley Bateman, and three others (all rung men were charged under the let (leo. IV. f. . - )!I (called the r nor • ' “rig t.. C. • Wtlftil _ I g e Act,”) charged with stealing a load of lettuces from the xrounda of— Salmon, a market gardener, at Chelsea. A watchman, last night, saw two of the prisoners carrying let. times into their houses; susptcting them to have come by them dishonestly, he took a constable with him and searched the premi. ars, where they found a large quantity of the property. One of the prisoners subsequently impeached three others, who were therefore included in this charge. The constable produced several lettuces found in the houses of the different prisoners. Wm. Ford. one of Mr. Salmon's men, stated that on Monday and yesterday he assisted In tying up a number of lettuces, which 'his morning were missed. On looking at some of those produced in the office by the constable he could swear to them as well by the lettuces themselves as by the tie of the bass, which he considered peculiar to himself. Mr. Salmon valued the lettuces at about 7s. The Magistrate observed that he should deal leniently with them, by merely inflicting the penalty of the value of the lettuces, and the expenses. In an assault case, in which the prosecutris was an Irishwoman, she stored that she was married by a Roman Catholic priest when but •cn years and a half old, adding, with /wire , that she thought marriage a good thing, and that she could not begin too early. CORONER'S INQUEST. I --~;; Yesterday an Inquisition was held before CELL, Esq. at the King's Head, James - street, lluekingharn.gate, on the b ody of Charles Somers, who was dreadfully burnt at the late fire in Rose street, Long-acre. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Joseph Watchorn, clerk to Meows. Spratley, lamp contractors, that the deceased was a couch smith in their employ ; about four o'clock a man was delivering a quantity or essential oil, in carboys, into the premixes of Mr. Spratley. situated in Rose-street, where the deceased was working in a cellar underneath, and in placing down one of the carboys, filled with the oil, he accidentally cracked it at the bouont, by put ting it down too hard upon the Moor, which happened to be MIME. Mately over the smith's forge. Some of the oil dropped on the deceased • and others at work there, and some on the fir:, which instantly set the buildings In flames, and that house, , with others adjoining, were au'ou burnt to the ground. The deceased with his brother and another person :got out, but dreadfully burnt. he (lecesaid) was conveyed to the Infirmary, his brother to filidOlesex Iloxpital, and the other was carried home. The person who was delivering the oil, lives with Messrs. Castle and Morgan. Poplar, who gave witness the above account. lir• told, on /tering the mischief occasioned in the breaking of the car. boy, that he instantly juniper! into his cart and drove away. Each carboy contained about five gallons of this oil ; he had safely de. posited five of them, and it was putting down the sixth when the accident happened. On witness going to the spot scarcely two minutes after the accident ozeurted, he found the deceased rolling himself in the kennel. Alr. Arthur Leary, the Surgeon at the Infirmary, who attended the deceased, stated he was most dreadfully burnt, and the injuries be mistainecl were the caw:: of his death. The Juty having consulted a short time, returned a verdict of— " Accidental Death." • • CASTLEBAR. JI NE 10.-011 Monday last, as Thomas Gillinartin of Killalla , with two sons and a nephew of his, were returning from the island of Barra with a boat.load alma manure, tie boat ass sunk by a heavy surf in the channel. The crew were picked no by some Norway sailors. Two of the boys seemed to have mdierea little: but, melancholy to relate, Gillmartin and one of his sons were taken up insensible, and notwithstanding the prompt assistance of the Rev. Archdeacon Verschoyle, and Mr. Robert Greta, a medical student (whose attention was umemittirg ' for several hours), every attempt to produce reanimation in the elder Oil!martin proved unsuccessful : the vital spark had fled.

INSTANCK OP ATTACHMENT:—VVIIPO the late Edward Rushton, of Liverpool, early in life, was engaged in the sea service, he had, probably without much consideration, engaged himself as mate for a slave voyage to Guinea. During his enema he was detached with a boat's crew, of which Quamina, a negro on board, for whom he had contracted a friendship, and whom he bad taught to read, was one—to the shore. The boat upset, and Rushton attempted to reach a small water-cask, a point of safety which Quamina had already attained. 'f hat poor African, with a warmth of generosity to which tutored minds would probably have beet' strangers, selling that his benefactor was too much exhausted to reach the cask, pushed it from himself towards him, bade him" good-bye," and sunk to rise no more. PRECAUTIONS IN BATIIING.—Never venture into cold water when your body is much heated ; for Dr. Franklin relates an instance, within his own knowledge, of four young men who, having worked in the heat of the day, with a view of refreshing themselves, plunged into a spring of cold water; two died upon the spot, and a third the next morning, and the fourth recovered with great dif fictilty. Maui xcitoty Acctne Pty.—Early on Sunday evening last. as Mr. J. C.

His wife, who has been long separated from him, is a moat industrious woman, and supports herself anti several children very decently.

" DMus et placens uwor."-110 R. Thy house, and lin the cup of life, That h onry.drop) thy pleasing wife. HAPPINESS," the gay to-morrow of the mind," is insured by marriage; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend ship" is a gift from 11 eaten , cementing pleasure with reason. be which. mays Johnson, " we approach in borne degree of association with celestial Intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperatise duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the graver nature from those impurities which the free dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the be holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminixe the body--a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from wliisth the applied sufierer more than ticuhts the chance of relief. To all such, then. we address ourselves, offering hope, v ergy, muscular strength. nor will our advances appear qu es don sble,sanat ioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' successful ex-pertace. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concen:rate the nimbi! wreath —fur the female habit is otten constitntinnally weak—yet it van be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion. OR well as io every relaxa tion of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to ere speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unreel tag empiric from the position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general principles whit has hesitation; and confident in our own honourable integrity as Vetnbers of the College of Surgeons, we refer the Wafering commurity of either sex (espe cially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consultation; and letters front the country are immediate y answered; these must contain a remittance for advice and medicine, which can be for. warded to any part of the world, however distant.

[ From the Loh.lon New Price Csrremt.l ?Mesmer, JA NE 1825. COTTON.—There has been • complete stagnation in the Cot. ton market here till yesterday, when about 2trO bags were sold ; the pricer generally did not transpire, but it was understood to be ld. to 2d. lower than the late hilliest currency ; our quotations must be considered entirely nominal, they could not now be obtained within Id. to 2d. per lb.; the Egyptian is reported to be offered at even • greater reduction. SUGAR.—The demand for 31uscovades last week watistestly and considerable, the purchases were estimated to exceed 1,100 Mid* each day, there was no alteration in the prices; the 3lusco. wades, suitable for refining, realising very high prices, and the grocery description,' at low rates in proportion . fly public sale this afternoon, 167 bhds S tierces Barbadae* Sugar. being much wanted for colour, sold rather higher than last sale; brown 61s. 6d., yellow 635. • 68s. white 70s. a 72,5. The Sugar market has been voy in. differently supplied to-day with new Sugars; tile request 1%, bow. ever. extremely languid, and the whole sales of the day are' estimated not to exceed 603 hhils ; no reduction in the prices can, howev r be stated, though the market is so dull. Towards the close or last week the Refined Sugar market became very heavy. and lire gads could be purchased on lower terms; in Lumps and :ow gods there was no alteration, and so scarce continued Lumps, that no parcels offered under 87s.—Molasses were 28+. The mar. ket to-day is uncommonly heavy, and a general reduction of Is. a 2s. may be stated ; and even Lumps, though scarce, could to-day be purchased 6d. a la. lower. 31olassee 27.. lid. The cause of the heaviness is ascribed to the unfavourable reports received yesterday from the Continent, particularly from Ilatnburgh. By private contract last week, fine white Havannah sold at 545. yellow at 385.; 180 chests white Pemams at 46a. all round. COFFEE.—The public sales of Coffee brought forward last weak were extensive ; tine ordinary Cuba sold at 635. a 665. ordinary 61s. and 82+.; ordinary St. Domingo 62+ ; large parcels of good Manilla 645. a Wis. The Jamaica and other British Plan. tation descriptions sold higher in propnrt ion, and were more in de mand than the Fereign Coffee; middling sold 90s— good middling 96*. There were two public sales this forenoon, 238 casks 82 bags British Plantation. 602 bags St. Domingo; the latter good ordi nary pale sold at 621. • middling Demerara sold up to Irs. good middling ; goodordinary Jamaica his ., fine dedinary 675., middling coloury 795. Generally off Coffee to-day it may be stated St. Domingo is steady ; Demerara la. a 2s. lower, good and fine ordinary Jamaica a shade higher, and coloury 2s. a 3s. advanced, the market looking firm. INDIA COTTON GOODS.—The sale at the East-India House of India Cotton Goods excited much interest; from the rise in English manufactures and in Cottons generally, a very great advance was anticip t ited ; contrary to general expectation however the whole went off at prices under the last sale. The advance in raw Cottons in England. taking the extreme low and high prices within the last six months is cent. per cent; on Cotton Yarns the advance is 30 per cent., and on manufactured goods about 30 per cent. HEMP. FLAX, and TALLOW.—The Tallow market re. mains in a very depressed state; there are huyers of the new at 35a. but few or no sellers under 35a. 6.1. Hemp is still 4/., and steady ; there is little Flax at market; the quotations are the last prices realised. HOPS.—The accounts from the Hop plantations continue con. trailictory in the extreme; the only weather that could save the plant has set in, a warm scorching sun ; but in place of the reports being favourable. the contrary is the case: the letters this morning state the plant in some places as getting of a better colour, but the increase of fly is excessive, and the stalk is literally covered bla-k with invests, ant; all the new shoots are overrun with ►ice. The duty, which is sonic criterion of the general opinion, remains at 50 to 53,000/. Some of the letters this morning state that rain accompanied with thunder can only afford the planter any hopes. HUM, BRANDY, and ROLLA NDS.—AII doubt as to rums being used by the rectifiers Is to-day removed; there is, however, nn date fixed for the operation commencing; it is expected Sth January next. The uncertainty which prevailed as to rums being used by the rectifiers, occasioned several of the holders to sell rums last week ; the consequence was a reduction in the prices ; Lee ' wards 4 and S over were sold at Is. 9d. and a parcel of tine proofs realised the Same price. At a late hour to-day no sales were re ported, but it would be difficult to purchase proof Leeward. at Is 19d. and we think there will be little business done till the final effect of the measure respecting rum is ascertained : that is, at what price British spirits from malt can be brought to market, and at what the spirit from rum, respecting which to-day there is the greatest diversity of opinion --Brandy ia still heavy : new to ar rive, 3s. Id.; housed of last year, 3.. 3d.—lu Geneva there Is no alteration. COCIIINEA h—The nublic sale this forenoon, 10 bags weld. neal, was altogether taken in, Bs. 9.1. a 10s. 3d. INDIGO.—By puhlic sale this forenoon, 41 arrow' Spanish iw. ' dign was entirely taken in ; of the second sale, 134 nerons Caracas indigo, about 25 serons sold 4s. lower than the late highest point of this market. TEA..—Thleale at the Indimllouse finished this forenoon ; our quotations are regulated by the prices obtained. The common twankays sold 3s. 3d. a 3s. 3id. ; the good 3s. 31,1.. 3s. ; there were none very fine; the are about 3d. per lb. lower ; hysons4re rather dearer ; common So. a Is. Oid.; good 4s. 2d. a 4 7d. ; fine ss. Id. a ss. 11 id. - the remainder ot the boheas sold at 2s. 21d. • 2s. 4d . and are id. c heaper than at the beginning of the sae. The private trade teas, a mixed parcel, sold at moderate prices. FRUlT.—There is a large cargo' of Valentia Railing landed, hut at present not in the market, the proprietors expecting • fur.. thee adv./rice ; the demand for exportation for new Red Smyrna Raisin,' has been very extensive lately, and caused an advance of Ss. to 4s. per cwt. There are very few remaining in the importers' hands, and the prices demanded now are 4." for Volalts, and Mis. for terahournas. The stock is very much reduced, and there re mains but a very small proportion of old on hand. Currants fully maintain their prima, but are not a very ready sale at this period of the season. In the other descriptions of Fruit there is no alter. ation. SPICES.—There has been a considerable demand for low.priced Pepper ; the light sold extensively at ; there are row buyers at sid, which is id. lower than the last India House sale. Some sales of the best Nutmegs are reported at 4s. ed.; Cinnamon, Mace, and Cloves, are at quotations entirely nominal; no sales whatever reported. About 420 bags Pimento at public sales last week went off at 91d. for ordinary, and 9jd. a 9jd. for good quality. .This forenoon, 148 bags Pimento sold steadily 914. a Std. TOBACCO.—There has been a considerable improvement in the demand for Tobacco ; from 400 to 500 hiis. have lately been sold at at high prices as during the.greatest animation of the mar kets some months ago; Virginias Id. a 41d. ordinary : in addition to the gales we have specified, an extensive operation has taken place between two of the principal speculators, the particulars, however, are not allowed to transpire. OlLS.—Oils are very heavy, but without any redaction in the prices. SALTPETRE.—The request for Saltpetre has grca , ly re. wired; the price, which a short time ago was 215., is to-day 24, 6d. a 25e. SlLK.—There is rather more doing, and the market has the appearance of a general improvement. PROVISIONS —Bee; and Pork are unaltered: the fine wea- Ater causes a little more business to be doing in Bacon. The ar 'rivals of Dutch Butters command 9lls. on the quay. BIRTHS. On the 15th inst.
