This wai an action to recover damages for the injury sustained the plaintiff in consequence of betpg thrown from one of the .righton stages, the property of one of the defendants. Mr. (lORNEr and Mr. Bove coodnnted the plaintiffs case. The plaintiff, Jane Stobbard, in the month of September last, yearqr, u in the service of furs. Peyton, in the capacity of lady's. maid. On the pith of that month the family left London for Brighuar ; Mn. Peyton and part of her estsbllahtnent travelling down in her private carriage, the rest, among whom was the plain tiff, took places on the outside of a Brighton coach, whiehlelongs to the defendants. On their arrival at Cocktield, at which place the last change of horses it Medea one of the horses (the off leader) put into the coach Wile very highspirited and unmanageable. This horse was in the habit of ." abyino the hedge," and thus gave the coach an irregular ris-asor modes. At Pagham, a village a few miles on this side of Brighton, they came up with a chariot, at whirl: this horse took fright, made& sudden plunge, in consequence of which the coach was overthrown t the fore pert of it separated from the hinder, ail the outsides were of course thrown off, and the paiotiff, in particular, very much injured. Her arm was dialo. rated and tortured, and she had since lost the me of it entirely. Sersh Hacker.--I was in :Mrs. Peyton's service last September. I know the plaintiff; she was upper house maid and lady's.mald. On the llith we went to ltrighton ; we were taken up by a coach in Oxford-street. The right-luand leader of the new change of horses at CuekSeld was very troublesome ; we came up with a chariot at Pagtats; the off leader made a start, and the coach was overthrown. Jane Stobhard was very much hurt ; she was supported by two gentlemen after tho accident ; the looked very pale; her arm was much bruised and swelled about the elbow ; I was also much hart ;we were taken-Ina gig to Brighton. I saw her last Sunday ; I have not seen her before since last February ; she is quite inca pable of dressing or taking care of herself. CrOks-examined by Mr. SCARLETT—We left London about eight o'clock ; the accident hanpened about three ; we were dot in any alarm betore it occurred ; we sat in the front behind the coach man. Francis Beaumont—l was a passenger by this coach. I was outside and sitting in the trent of the coach in the same row with thil plaintiff. At Cucktield, the last stage, we changed horses. The off-leader was troublesome ; there wits great difficulty in her. noising hitt ; he seemed to draw toward the other horse ; I asked the coachman the reason, and he said " the horse did not like the hedge." There was some irregularity in the motion of the coach, in consequence of the horse pulling to one aide. Bcfore we got to the chariot, we came up against a bank, and the coach was over. turned ; the coachman appeared to be off his guard for a moment ; the fore part of the coach was separated from the hinder. I was very much bruised myself, and for this reason did not observe the coadition of the plaintiff. Crees.catainined by Mr. SCARLETT—I returned to London b the same coach. I did not hear the postilion of the chariot 'crack his whip ; if he bad they were in advance of us forty or Gity paces, sail we could not have heard him. Mr. Brownhill-4 wee a passengea by this coash. I sat behind, on what it called the dickey t oh_ -caw did not appear to go in a straight lint, and I mendoa•d this circumstance to the passengers. did not say any thlr.g of it to the coachman.

I neva heard that he had been sent to attend her by the peoprietors. sir William Bliesed examined by Mr. GURNEY—I saw this young woman, and examired her arm about two months after the accident ; it is stiff and immovable ; I hava seen her within a fow Oars. I do.r.st think that she will ever recover the use of her arm. . (Gross-examined by MR SCARLETT—Mr. Lawrence waa a pupil of mine. I consider him to be a very competent man: • I have reason to believe that all the remedies made use of by Mr. Pins were very proper ' • this stiffness in the arm is not very uncommon ; Its causes are generally inflammation ; I should think it proceeded from the inflammation in this Instance.

He wished this to psnicilarly understood, as no thing could be more remote !tom his feelings -towards Mr. Pitts than to make such imputations. He contended that the defend:mu: were 110 r chargeable with 'negligence. It was not necessary thst they should have perfect horses to run in their stages : such horses Weed, as he understood from persons who were skiltltl in theme zanters, were very scarce, and when they were found, could only be pun:hosed at an enormous price. It was sufficient if stage-masters' bad horses of a reasonable fitness. In respect to the horse whose sulmanageableners formed the basis of this action, lie submitted taut there was not sufficient evidence to show that ho was a vicious Lome. • The Loan Carnet JCATIOR summed up the evidence. lie told ihir Jury, that if they thought this accident had happened either from tile neglect of the coachman or the regality's of the hues, the plaintiff was entitled to their Terflie , ; but be would take the' *lefty of saying to them, u he had often said to other its riP , , that .whaterter their verdict might be, let it have the appearance of being: /Minded on a tt.mperate view of the case. . . _ • The 7 upwards of tw hours, and returned with - o'clock, some time after the Coot, plaintiff -Damages 404.11. • BARRER. - butcher, who at the time of i _..ay.

Verdict tor p laintiff 1001. f 7 i , 1 .. , 1 1 i . 1 1 f: . 1 N ' r . . . i I ki ii ti THE BRITISH PRESS. engaged with the vessel in London on the 20th of December 1824: that the vessel soon after sailed to the island of Dominica, and on the 14th February Carman went on shore with the Captain's leave. promising to return by sunset. This promise was violated, and on the following . day the master went ashore, and charged his seaman. before a magistrate, with desertion and insubordination. Upon this charge he was apprehended and brought before the magistrate, whose authority he denied in a contumacious manner. for which contamacy he warcommitted to ganl,where lie remained for seventy five days. At the termination of that period he was again taken on board the Ealing Grove, which sailed for the port of Lontlon,where It arrived in June 1823. The Learned Civilian contended that un der these circumstances Cie seaman had in no way forfeited his claim to wages. 'lt was true there was a legislative enactment which made it desertion for examen to stay from his vessel with nut leave for twenty-four hems. This act was made rather for the advantage of masters and owners, than for that of seamen. But Camtan'e case did not come within this enactment: he did no; stay from his vessel fur twenty-four hours. His leave was not nut until sunset, and at one o'clock the following day he was taken before the magistrate; therefore he could have been ab-ent from his vexed only sixteen hours. Ilia subsequent absence when in confinement In the common gaol could not surely he urged as an act of desertion. As to the charge of mutiny and inenbordination, it was frivolous, because the master had subsequently indulged the seaman by al lowing him to go on shore, which act of indulgence proved that Canine's conduct during the voyage had not been seriously offen sive. There was no set of violent insubordination alleged against Carman, and his Lordship had never held that any thing luta than an art of extreme mutiny amounted to a forfeiture of wages. When the seaman returned to the vessel lie was willing to work, but the master d:d not require him to do so. Dr. JENS ER said, the seaman claimed wages from the timeal hie hire to the return of the vessel to London, a period of nearly six months, in which time he had been employed only during the voyage out, and had conducted himself in a most violent and Mu tinous manner. In answer to Ilia claim it was pleaded, that on the 12th February he went on shore in a boat with the mate, without leave, but returned soon after. Next day he got leave to go ashore, upon condition that he should return at a specified time. This condition he failed to perform, and it was strange that he should allege that he was returning to the vessel, when he was appre hended at the Barrack Can teen,situated at • distance of 3 miles from his ship. It was true the seaman may have been willing to work on thereturniog voyage, but his previous misconduct was PO great, that the master very properly used his discretion by not employing him. The owners did not now plead that the seaman forfeited his wages by his insolent conduct to the master, but that under all the circumstances, taking the whole into consideration, he had forfeited his claim. It was said that he had never deserted the ship, as he had only remained away from it sixteen hours ; but what were the facts ? He was imprisoned on the 13th Februney, and on the 4th March he was again brought up before the Magistrate, and asked whether he would return to his duty, which he refused, and was therefore remanded to prison. Now if his absence from the vessel Was not to be considered a desertion front it, was not his refusal to return to it an act of desertion ? An to the toaster's taking Car man on board after his imprisonment, he did so because there was an enactment - which made it penal tiur a toaster to leave his men on the island. He was compelled therefore to bring him back to England, but never employed him. Lord STO w E r.t. suggested that when the case came before him again it should be narrowed by the omission of irrelevant details, which only served to embarrass the Court. lie thought the ob. jectinna stated were not sufficient to induce him to exclude from his consideration the allegations of the master and owners. In this case there was something very like a desertion, and if • seaman be haved contumacious from the beginning of a voyage, although there may have been a condonation, yet his previous conduct may he properly pleaded if he continue refractory. Viewing the case as it now stood, he would admit the allegations, and reserve to himself the fair consideration of the whole until the case came before him in a perfect form. CLAIM FOR SALVAGE. A claim for salvage was made by thirty persons, viz seventeen men belonging to the cutter Repulse, nine men belonging to the Preventive water-guard. three pilots, and a hey. A claim was oleo made on the part of Lieut. Porter. of the Preventive Service, which was opposed by the owners, as well as the other claimants. These claims came before the Court under the following einem. stances :—ln March last, the brig Vine. coming front Gibraltar, laden with fruit, dm got. on the Shingles (near the Isle of Wight), and was exposed to considerable danger. A signal of distress was made, and the 30 claimants above designated, repaired to die ves sel, and for three days and three nights continued to render every assistance in their power, and to use their best exertions to preserve the ship and cargo. At the expiration of the third day it was thought necessary, from the nature of the cargo, which principally consisted of heavy barrels, to procure additional assistance, and one of his Illaiesty's Wain-packets was sent front the Dock-yard at Plymouth. The further services of the claimant' were then din., pensed with, and the ship and cargo were finally saved. Lieutenant Pcrter claimed, not for his personal services, but for permitting the Preventive boats to repair to the assistaue of the brig. The ship and cargo were estimated at 5,51:01, and the claim of the 30 persons above ndticed to salvage was fully admitted, but it was urged that 2401. the sum tendered, was an adequate remuneration, but this sum the claimants refused to accept. The value of the services performed being the only question issue, the allegatioas at both sides, as well as the observations of the burned Counsel, were almoet egehurively directed to this point. The master of the Vine alleged that he felt little apprehension for the safety of the ship or cargo, but hie assertions were not fortified by the facts, as it appeared that a signal of distress had been made, that the main-mast was cut away, and that a part of the cargo was delivered to the boats which were brought to her assistance by the claimants. • "Lord S - row - Eu. said, that no doubt the 30 persons who claimed salvage were salvors to a large extee.r. He did not think the offer made by the-owners was illiberal; at the same time, considering. that the claimants were engaged for three days end nights, he thought them fairly entitled to rather More. lie was inclined to allow them 4001. As to the claim of Captain Porter, it was alto gether novel. In no instance, to his knowledge, had a person been allowed salvage unless he actually performed some service, or claimed it for damage done to • boat; or damage arising from the loss of the boat's use. Captain Porter's claim was founded on his permitting the boats to go to the assistance of the vessel. It was certainly politic that officers on those stations should have a discre tionary power of permitting their boats to go to the assistance of vessels in distress ; and Captain Porter having the responsibility of other public duty was a sufficient apology for his not personally attending. His claim, however, was a very novel one: it was in troducing something like a prise principle; a principle which would not apply here, as the cases were very different where pro perty was taken from the hands of an enemy, and property was saved belonging to a British subject. However, as the claim was new, he would allow Captain Porter his law expenses, and this with the 4110!. which he adjudged to the salvors, would amount, he thought, to nessly 500 g., the sum in which the pro. petty preserved exceeded 5,0001. Ilis LORDSHIP, at the desire of Counsel for the salvors, after. wards adjudged that the salvage should be proportioned as follows: —To the men of the Repulse 1501., and the balance to be divided in equal proportion etnonssa the ot her elnimants.

Yesterday the Lotd Mayor received communications from some gentlemen who had purchased shares in several of the new Corn. panics, upon the subject of the effect which his Lordship's notice of the extraordinary transactions that were daily taking place had hpon the managers. and upon those Companies which had not yet made their appearance in the market. The boxio MAYOR expressed his satisfaction that at the conchs. pion of his mayoralty; he had contributed to abate the furious rage for speculation. He doubted not there were some Companies from which the public would derive much advantage, and that those Companies were supported by men of the highest respectability. But there were also Companies which, whether set on foot with fraudulent intentions or not, presented so wild and ridiculous an appearance, as to excite the astonishment of all reasonable men, in the consideration of their chances of success. He did not wish to cast any reflection upon the conduct of any petering concerned, but certainly the desperate appetite for making a sudden fortune had engendered a spirit of gambling, which was calculated to injure the morals of the community. outhrmALL. PrzzLING•A Oria.--John Arnold. the driver of the coal wag gon, No. 1,434, belonging to Messrs. Littlewood and Co., of Ham -street, Illackfriars, was charged before Mr. Alderman Tnostrsow, M.P., yesterday, with what the fraternity of carmen term " Puzzling a gig," or In the language of the law, with " wilful misbehaviour," while driving his waggon on Monday last. The complainant, Capt. Robert Gordon, R.N. stated that he was driving his gig along the Mile of Fleet-market, on the day in question, when he met the defendant coining in a contrary direction, and drew in behind another vehicle to.iet the waggon pass. The wheel of the latter, however, locked In. with the wheel of his gig, arid but for the excellent temper of his horse, and the circumstance of there being no other carriage in the rear, which enabled him to back as Gat as the wagon went on, his wheel must have been torn away. He called to the defendant at the moment they tame in contact, but he dia. regarded the call, and dragged him on twenty yards further, and, when at length he did stop, witness observed he might have driven the wagon at least' f our feet nearer the kirb. He (Captain G.) would admit his gig had sustained no damage, and his only object in preferring this complaint was the good of the public. He also wi.hed to observe, that he found the naive and number on the front of the wagon ; but when he first looked for it where the law directed it should be placed, on the side of the wagon, he found the board so covered with dirt that the inscription was wholly illegible, and for suffering it to be ltz such a matt, he believed, the defendant was also liable to a floe. . . . _ Mr. PAYWE (the Clerk)-11 he had been driving on a turn pike road. The Act does not reach the etrriage-ways of the city. Mr. Alderman Titownsou—Do you think he drove against you wantonly or carelessly ? Captain Gordon—Carelessly. He appeared to be drunk, and heedful" whether he did or did not drive over me. Mr. Littlewood, the defendant's master. urged that it was his first offence, and that no tlamaye had been sustained, in mitigation of punishment. Mr. Althrman THOMPSON ward, whenever such cases were brot.ght before him, and proved, his duty to the public compelled him to inflict some punishment. That unions mischief did not en sue from the man's misconduct was not owing 46 any exertions of his, and the drivers of heavy wagons were notoriously fond of an noying and endangering lighter vehicles. The tine, however, he should impose on the defendant upon this occasion would be only ss. and 3.. costs. _ . _ The Captain sent hie moiety of the penalty to the Seaman's I lospital.

Mrs. Ooold's father was a clergyman, the ann of Dr. Wharton. I lived in the same town with the Whartons several yearn. .Gross-examined by the CO/MOW SERGEANT.--I believe that my claughter.in.law is twenty.foar years old ; she Is younger than her husband, wbo Is twenty-eight or twenty.nire, perhaps thirty years old ; th4riefendant is about twenty. five years of age. The plaintiff paid his addresses to her about a year. I thought at first it world be better that my son should marry a farmer's daughter, as I thought Miss Wharton too high and too gay for him ; but he was determined to marry her, and so I gave my consent. I never heard that Miss Wharton was averse to the match, and that she had a previous attachment. Re-examined.—l always thought it a comfortable match, as they were living so happily together. Mr. P. Brown, a purser in the navy, had visited pliintiff and his wife, and thought they lived most happily and affectionately. Elizabeth Dicw was servant to plaintiff and his wife the year be fore last ; they were then living at Salisbury. She always thought they lived very happily together; sometimes they visited the Tanners. Witness saw Mr. Tanner come sometimes to the house when Mr. Goold was not present ; she had taken letter, from Mrs. Ooold to the defendant very often, and delivered them into his own hands ; she had seen her mistress and Tanner together at other places than her master's ; she had heard them kiss each other ; they were often together for more than an hou-. Thomas Shergold proved the several letters produced to be in the band-writing of the defendant. Cross-examined by the COMMON SERGCANT. — The defendant is shout 24 years old. Mr. Tanner's father is a highly respect. able attorney. He lives in Salisbury, and was twice Mayor of that town. The following letters were then put in and read. " DEAN CHARLOTTE,—I have written you several letters with lemon,* but you have only answered them by a formal note. This therefore. to request you to write to Brown street, and tell me ev,ry thing I isked, particularly whether it in or is not so ?" 1 would rather know a was than be kept in stinpence. I hope you like Blenheim and the i n habitants, l a m afraid too much. If Ido not hear from you in a week, I shall think you have ceased to love me, and shall never write again. I have just pinyed a game' of billiards with Mr. G. If Ido not hear from you by this day week, I shall make up my mind sit to my future conduct. " Adieu, believe me ever unchangeably yours, " JOHN. " When you write a formal letter. you can write a little with lemon, orange, or onion juice. —Adieu." • This part of the letter is written with lemon juice on the Ey leaf. Directed to Mrs. Wm.

Write soon, my dear bird, and tell about the picture. I have made a amquest of a very handsome fascinating young lady (excuse vs. city), but I do not cares rush for her ; she is gone to London, ne ver to return.

The horse leap'd so hish that he hit my head against the branch of a tree, and sent me off b;ckwards. I was not hurt, but was first in at the death. Adieu, my beloved Charlotte; believe me your sincere friend and much attached John. I heard your beauty praised so much yesterday. How pleased I was; and if I was married to you, how proud I should be of my handsome wife. You're a rogue. Write u soon as possible. Farewell, dearest beloved Charley." (No date, direction, or post mark.) "My Dearest Dear Beloved Charlotte--I did not think, dearest Charlotte, I should have felt the parting from you for so short a time so severely as I hare.

The Commas' SERGEANT, on the pert of the defendant, ad. dressed the Jury; and in a most ingenious speech, contended that ihe plaintiff was entitled to but trifling damages, Inasmuch as the defendant instead of being the seducer, bad himielf b ee n se d uce d by the la dy. The Jury in a few minutes returned a verdict for the plaintiff-- Damages 6001. ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS. MARYLEBONE OFFICE. Yesterday Antra Green alias Sch, d ield, the man who was capi tally convicted, and left for escudo,' with Harris and Davis, at Hertford. for the burglary and robbery at the steward's of Earl Cowper, but afterwards discharged upon very clear testimony of his and companions' innocence, ova brought up, charged with a desperate highway robbery, or 4 v it is termed by the " family men" (thieves) "a ramp," under very extraordinary circumstances. Wm. Thomas, a bricklayer, of Duke-street, Lisson-grove, stated, that he, on Saturday cra ning last, was returning to his le sidence 'oetween eight and nine o'clock, rather intoxicated, and in passing the corner of Bell and Lisrm streets, a boy ran against him and endeavoured to snatch his watch from His fob pocket, but did not succeed. He seized the boy and gave him into the custody of a watchman, but before he had done that some men assembled, and the prisoner stepped up, and struck him on the head several times, until he was covered with blood, and then forcibly robbed him of his silver watch, chain, and four seals, end darted into the tap-room of the Brazen Head public-house. He pursued him, and while detailing the robbery. and looking shout for the man , the watch, Ike. was put into his hands, and he wan jostled out of the room ; he then walked home ; he was positive that the prisoner was the man who bat him, and then robbed him of his watch. The evidence of Thomai was confirmed by other witnesses. The prisoner's solicitor, 111 r. Price, said he would prove an alibi. Mr. RAM L I 11780 K, the sitting Magistrate said, there was evidence fully to warrant the prisoners commitment. His defence would be a subject for the consideration of a Juiy. The prisoner was committed to Newgitte accordingly. THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday James Nicholas Henry Sealion, late steward of the Vittoria, was brought before T. Richbell. Esq. charged with violating the person of Amelia, the wife of George Baxter Niker, of Salmon.street, Limehouse. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutrix, that the prisoner took advantage of her husband's absence to effect his purpose. Iler child:about six years of age; was sent out for a pint of gin. k'our days afterwards, she told her husband. The prisoner wits remanded for another hearing. Mr. Adolphus attended as his counsel. TAUNTON SMALL DEBTS COURT. The Taunton Courier says—" We hear that the ancient Courts for the Borough of Taunton at the Manor of Taunton Dean, are about to be revived, in pleas of debt. The practice in them ceased in 1/30, propably from the smallness of the fees, as the following table shows:— a. d. For every summons For every attachment For entry of every declaration . . . . 0 6 For every appearance in person . . - 0 2 . For every appearance by an attorney, and his warrant of an attorney - . . . 0 4 For entering every plea For every replication and demurrer - - 0 2 For every venire ferias 1 0 For a drawing's For calling the Jury For entry of judgment For a levari facia Fee a .are facia, _ 0 6 For acknowledging satisfaction - 0 4 L I Thus, for Ss. Id. a cause was tried by a Jury at the suitor's own doqr as it were." THE GALE OF 11-IND. On Wednesday afternoon, the wind, which had blown fresh from the south-west of the metropolis, gradually veered, and in the even. ing became rather stormy, until midnight, when the gale became due west, and blew a most perfect hurricane during the remainder of the night, and part of Thursday, accompanied at the commence ment by slight showers, and during its continuance had scarcely veered two points to the south-west. The effects of this stiff gale around the suburbs of London have been severely felt, in the blow ing down of trees, walls, fences, chimneys, & c . ; and some of th e guards of the coaches that arrived on Thursday morning say, they have not met with such a boisterous night for same years. In Philip's-place, Burton.crescent, a stack of chimneys were blown down, but fortunately no person was injured. In Catherine. court, St. Clement's-Inn, a chimney tumbled through an old build. ing, and injured severely an inmate of one of the attics. The other casualties caused by the gale were numerous in every part of the metropolis. In the vicinity of Paddington, and for some miles in that neigh. bourhood, including Kilburn. Bayswater, Acton, Ealing, Horror, the suburbs of the Regent's-park, &c., and many places around that quarter, the erects of the gale, it is ascertained, have more re. trembled a whirlwind than the winds generally experienced at this season. The plantations have in some of the villages been torn up and swept wholly away. The Regent's-park shrubberies hare been much torn and damaged, and a great number of the new buildings in that quarter have been unroofed, and even the gable ends of some blown down ; several stacks of chimneys about Kil burn have been blown down. The stacks Of hay and straw, .o the number of from 40 to 50, in the neighbourhood of Acton and Eal ing, have been scattered by the wind. Id Holborn two stacks of Chimneys were blown into the street about the beads of the paseees by, but injured no person materially. A variety of casualties, too numerous to mention, took place about town daring the day. The most disastrous accounts may be anticipated from the country, coast, and shipping. The wind blew part of a house down at Queen's Elms, on the Fulham road. The roof was blown off, and the side walls thrown down. The effects of the high wind on Thursday morning and the pre. ceding night were severely. felt in many parts of the country. At Lyndhurst, in the New Reset much damage ban been done among the young plantations, and . a fine old oak was bl own d own. Seve ral trees and some thatched hoosen near 13iggleswade, have been blown down, and other homes cleared of the thatch. In short, the devastation has been pretty `sacral throughout the country. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND FORTUNATE ESCAFR or COUNT WORONZOW AND His SE.CRETART.—Last night, as Count Woronzuw, (he Russian Charge d'Affaires, accompanied by his Secretary, were returning in h;a carriage through Brentford, the carriage was suddenly overtu-ned with great violence in the High-street, by which the coachman, William Findlay, was thrown off his seat, and the body of the carriage coming against him, lie wait unfortunately killed on the spot. The footman was likewise thrown to the ground, and received such severe injuries, that he is not expected to survive many hours. The populace, on witnessing the accident, ran to the carriage, and ren dered every possible assistance. The bode of the coachman was taken up and carried to the Wagon and Horses. Old Rrentford ; the footman was also conveyed, as soon as possible, to the same house, and surgical assistance procured. He remains without the slightest hope of recovery. The hand of the unfortunate coachman (who had been in the service of the Count for 40 years) was coin pletely torn off. On extricating the Count and his Secretary from their perilous situation, it was happily discovered that both had miraculously escaped without the least hurt. The effect the me lancholy accident h ad on the Count's feelings was distinctly visi ble. The Count lamented the loss of lire of his faithful servant, poor Findlay. Some hours elapsed before the Count and his secre tary could depart the place where this melancholy event occurred. The accident Is supposed to have happened in consequence of the carriage wheels pas s i ng over a h eap o f stones, improperly left in the road. MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, Nov. 4.

COTTON.-IThedemand for export continues steady and coc. siderable ; there is no alteration in prices. At Liverpool on Wed. nenday the sales were 2,000 bags, at steady prices. SUGAR—Muscovado' have been so very heavy all the week that there is scarcely a market to quote; the sales do not average above 100 lthds per day ; the prices are in consequence nominal, but if sales were forced, we have no doubt a further reduction of ls. must be submitted to. In the early part of the week there were considerable purchases of low lumps about 875.: the market has since become very heavy, and purchases may now be made at 86s. ; few sales of crushed for the Mediterranean are reported: in tire goods no purchases.—Molasses are heavy at 345. At a public sale on Tuesday Havannah and Brazil Sugars sold 3s. a Ss. under the previous nominal prices :—good white Havannah 485. a 49w; abet Brazil Santos, but rather soft 3bs. a 40s. ; yellow 325. a 34.

COFFEE.—The public tales lately brought forward have been nearly all taken in, and the market continues in a very depresad state, except for St. Domingo, for which the inquiries continue general : large purchases of good quality are reported at 565. fd. and 575. : it is difficult to purchase under the latter. fhe putdk sale this forenoon was too inconsiderable to form a market price: the ordinary Jamaica went oft lower; generally Coffee is werisii variation. but very heavy, except for St. Domingo. SPICES.—There have been sales of Nutmegs at 5s a itlf• which is rather lower. In Pepper and other East India Sptesthert is no alteration ; the market still heavy.
