- Witness being a Jew, wen sworn on the Old Testament. Ile' stated that the primmer was his son, and was horn on the 4th of A t m, 1796 and wanted five yews and two months of being 21 at the time of his marriage with bliss Donovan. %Witness had known nothing of the marriage until afterwards, and he certainly never gave his consent to it. The prisoner's name sou Jacob Jacobs, and in the Hebrew language Jacob and John were the same thing. The prisoner arrived from Ireland in 1814; but witness had never seen his first wife. The prisoner had told him that he was married, but he did not believe him. At the age of 16. witness had sent the prisoner as supercargo to Demerara, having confidence in his ability. Did ant know of the second marriage with Miss Fitzgerald until after it took place ; understood that by her the prisoner had two or three children. Did not know what the prisoner was by profession or Wainer. Never knew him to be a Captain in the army ; saw him in the King's Bench prison about two years since. Mr. Law and Mr. PLATT submitted on this evidence, that the first marriage was void, it having been contracted by the prisoner during infancy, and without the consent of parents. and conse quently that the second marriage was lawful and binding. Mt. BRODRICIC, contra, urged that infancy was no objection in the first marriage ur.der the circumstances stated, inasmuch vs the prisoner had aftiontid the contract by living with his first wife after he came of age. In addition to this he relied on the letter sbove.mentioned, as decisive of his argument. Mr. Karon OnAllAll said he would reserve the point for the con. sideration of the twelve Judges, if the Jury should be satisfied that the first marriage had been in fart solemnised. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, found the ',ri sotto Guilty, end the judgment was postponed. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--STArroan, MAics 13. (Special Jury.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. PEACE V. WEDGWOOD. The interest which this case excited in this town is almost incon ceivable. As early as seven o'clock in the morning, groups of wen d:owed persons of both sexes were collected round the Town-hall, and on the opening of the Court every place amt avenue was yawned fall. The heat was so intense in Court ti • the breath of the crowd, condensed on the stone roof of the Hall, *as cominually showering down upon those below. The defendant is ame nber of the celebrated family who first invented that ware which bears their name, and is reputed to be worth 200,0001. Mr. Clogs opened the pleadings. Mr. CAMPBELL stated the case to the Jury. Gentlemen of the Jury, it gives me great satisfaction to see upon this occasion twelve respectable gentlemen of the county of Stafford assembled in that box, for the purpose of deciding upon the conduct of a person who pretends to be a gentleman. You are to say this day whether his conduct has been that of a gentleman and a man of honour, and if it has not. to say what compensation he ought to render to the party whom he has abused. I need not introduce to you Mr. It edg. wood ; you know him well. He is a man possessed of large landed estates and large collieries in the neighbourhood of Newcastle tinder-Line, in this county. The plaintiff is the daughter of a gen tleman of the name of Owynne, who lives in the county of earnarvon, and she is most respectable. She watt married once to a gentleman of the name of Peake, who carried on the business., of a mercer, in a post extensive manner, in the town of Newcastle—and perhaps }tau know that many very respectable men carry on that business in t'ie provincial towns of this country. Some years after their mar. page Mr. Peake died. and his widow continued to carry on the business, until the death of an aunt, at Chester, who left her • house anti some other property. While the business was carried cn during the life-time of Mr. Peake, Mr. Wedgwood used to come to the house ; he was received politely, and was always considered as an intimate acquaintance. On these occasions he had an oppor 'witty of witnessing the accomplishments, the disposition, and the character of Alm Peake. Gentlemen, upon tr.- death of Mrs. • Peake's aunt. she retired to Chester. She there occupied the house her aunt left her; she lived upon her property, and saw nothing more of Mr. Wedgwood until the latter end of 1824, or beginning of IVA, when she was upon a visit to 31r. and 31rs. Sutton. at Leek, which, you know, is no great distance from the residence of the defendant, at Signal-end. in this county. During this visit Mr. Wedgwoothaw her and renewed his acquaintance, paid her most marked and particular attention, and very soon made her an offer of marriage. Mrs. Peake said that there were objections. - There wee • disparity of years, in the first instance, because she . was then but thirty-nve and the defendant was turned of sixty. Moreover, she did not know him very intimately ; she was not ;sufficiently acquainted with hit temper and disposition ; and there fore' she discouraged his addresses. But, gentlemen, he persisted, and he then so far prevailed upon her, that he induced her to enter Into a correspondence with him by letter, and he gained her per. minion to call upon her at Chester. Now, gentlemen. I will read to you one of the letters he wrote to her. You will find it very decent, cold, sod formal. 18th February, 1825. •• Dear Madam—Yours of the 15th inst. came to hand yester. dat, which gave me graft' pleasure in hear you had recoveted from your indisposition. I called at Mr. 31aer's and was disappointed in rot getting • letter, which led me to apperead all was not right. I got sate home, and shall be happy to hair from you to snow when I shall have the pleasure of seeing you. I continue to enjoy good Stealth, and 1 am, dear .Madam, yours sincerely, 44 J . This letter, you see, displays a great distance, and shows he had made very little progress in his suit. The next letter is April the 4th. It still begins " Dear Madam," but it seems he was then radon less discouraged. "Dear Madam. it gives me no small pimento find your hell'. restored. I was reprised to find you took my advice and took exercise. I have eejoyed a good state of 'with since I have arrived at Newcastle, and I hope soon to see you at Chester." Now here he becomes a little bit poetical. " Since I add arrived my gerdiag shows the summer is approaching. j ate • epricott tree which es froot upon it as big as a Spanish nut, and a nectarine tree in full bloom ; and potatoes that are to be ang st above toe ground green. I shall come In the coach to Chester. The rereernen potters in Messrs. J and W. Wood's factory, at Bun ion, have turned out for an advance of wages, and there masters as,, °Riga to comply. It is expected that the men at the Burslem adkries, and the cutleries in the potteries, will all also turn out for ' an advance of wages. Believe me to be assuredly yours, JOHN 11 THOWOOD." This state of things, Gentlemen, continued during the sum mer. He eoald not then pared on her to have his hand, and at last she communicated the matter to her father, living in the cnunty of Camarvon. Her father approved of it ; he gave his consent to the union. and at the solicitation of Mr. Wedgwood tl.e parties met at Nantwich, and there they mutually pledged their faith to each other, As they were now engaged it was agreed that Mr. Wedgwood should pay her a visit at Chester, preparatory to big marriage. He went there, but during his visit he was taken ill, and was attended with the most anxious solicitude by Mrs. Peaks. After getting better he went to Park Gate, which is a watering-place no great distance from Chester, and then he began to correspond with the plaintiff again. Before he used to write " Dear Madam"—observe now how warm and amorous his language is : • My dear beloved Etty,—(Laughter.)-1 have the ' , knee to inform you my !with is much in the same state in which it was when ( left Chester, except a qr. which I expem'nccd all the time I have been at Park Hate. I hope it will not inking &fur I have the plesure of seeing you at Park Gate, and believe me to be, dear Etty, " Your affectionate lover, "JOHN IVEDGWOOD." Gentlemen, Mr. Wedgwood having completely renovated his con stitution by dipping in the sea at Park-gate, returned to Chester, and was introduced to the friends of Mrs. Peake as her future husband. Ile spoke to them with the greatest pleasure about the approaching nuptials. I shall call before you a most respectable friend of Mrs. Peake, to whom he mentioned the subject of a settlement on his proposed wife. He actually nominated the *tutees. and with liberality (though not excessive considering his mesas) Ste detennined, as he said, to settle upon her a jointure of 3001. a year. Upon such an occasion there were certain peeper'. tions necessary before the marriage took place, and he said he must finish a road leading to his house. Now I will read to you one or two of his letters, after his visit to Chester and his re- turn to Bignell•End. He is still warm, affectionate, and im pessioned. • Al y dear Etty.—You forgot to infomt me, in yours of the Pith, in what state your held, was, which I thought was an omia. Mon on rise part which 1 hope you will remedy in your next. I have the ydesure to inform you that I remain in a twarales-vwee state, and that I get quite fat. Much laughter.)

I shall be enabled to inform you when I arrive at Stapeley,when it will be completed. I have seen Mrs. Wool and brother, who hat, not said any thing to me about you.

I have not paid • visit to 31e. and Mrs. Coombe. the trether has been so anfaverable. There caine a gentleman into Mr. Smith's shop, who inquired if I was going to be marred to Mrs. Peake. He answered he could not tell. There was a woman In the shop at the time from this pa rish, who made answer, she was sure it was going to take place, for I had but fury unreels load of wine. Mrs. Perkins desires me to Rite her duty to you. I have rased my toles at Bignall End Col kr?, a penny per draft. which is about three cwt. lam selling for a 'Milling the draft.

" J. W." This, Gentleman, was only on the 4th of December. An appoint ment was made for them to meet on the Bth. '1 hey did meet. They met under the roof of Mr. and Mrs. Wakeman—their friends. The defendant stayed all night ; on going away the next morning, he continued to profess the strongest attachment; and the last words he used, were praying Mrs. Teske to invite Mr. and Mrs. Wake man to come to their house after they should he married. This was on Friday th !lth of December. Six days afterwards, without any preparation. without any com:nunication, this person, who calls himself a gentleman, writes a letter which I will presently read to you. He parted with Mrs. I'eak and her relations on the morning ! of Friday, and on the Wednesday following she received this letter in his hand-writing. Dear Madam—l have had Information front different people, ' that you were not likely to bring me any children, and being in a precarious state of /WM, is the reason why I can nut give you my hand. I wish you well, and shall always respect you You will have the goodness to send my makings by the Newcastle coach, and let me know what I am in your debt for ricebtnact chiefs, and you will oblige, dear madam, yours, most respectfully, " J. W" " P.S. I hive inclosed a I/. note, which, if it does not pay what is due to you, you will inform ma by the bearer. All correspon dence must crane bett.cen us." . • . Now, Gentlemen, can you think there is anything so debasing. as for a man, professing to be a gentleman, to write such a letter. In my opinion there could be nothing so base, sordid, or de testable. You may conceive the feelings of Mrs . Pea ke nn re. ettiving such a letter. You may imagine how she was overwhelmed with shame and confusion. It was with reluctance she showed such a letter to her friends ; however, she did disclose the insult that had been offered to her, and a most respectable gentle. man, whom I shall call before you, waited upon Mr %Verig. wood, to ask some explanation for his most extraordinary conduct. What, Gentlemen, do you think was his defence then ? Ile did not dare to reiterate the contents of his litters, but the excuse he made W. that his surgeon had told him he was unfit to marry. and from that cause alone he had broken off the match. Why, Gentlemen, what do you think of such a man ? What apology is to be made for him ? I cotes. I am wholly at a loss to conceive what defenec is to be set up. Will the defendant dare to deny his engagement with this lady ? I will prove it over and over again, both by letter and by word ? Well, then, what is to be said in way of palliation ? Poverty . he cannot plead. I am told a surgeon has been subpoenaed. is now in Stafford, aye, is in Court, whs can prove this man's bodily situation. Are we to go through such a disgusting detail. I know my Learned Friend Mr. Jervis 's good taste and good sense better than to suppose he will permit anything of that kind. Gentlemen, you see my client was promised a settlement of :tool. per year. An atlequate sum, to pro duce an equivalent to that, is the least she can have. You will look at all the circumstances of the case. I know my Learned fiend will call no witnesses, lest he should give me the oppor tunity of addressing you again. You will judge whether this per- son has not disgraced the race to which he belongs—whether he has not disgraced the order in society of which he is a member— and if you think he has. you will give such damages as may be a lesson to him, and to other persons who are inclined to a similarly dishonourable part. Mr. Thomas Kemp called. and examined by Mr. RUSSELL.— know Mr. J. W edgewood, the defendant. These letters are his hand-writing. [Here the first three letters read by Mr. Campbell, in the course of his speech, wareput in and read.) Witness, in continuation.— I have known the defendant between twenty-three and twenty-four years 3 don't know in what style he lives. I never received the hospitalities of his house. He is an old bachelor, and I suppose him to be between sixty and seventy. I believe he is a wealthy man. Mr. Sutton examined by Mr. RtieSELL.-1 know Mrs. Peake, the plaint-ff; I am very intimate with her ; eke wife and I hare been Intimate with her for many years ; 1 knew her when she was a girl, and I suppose her age now to be about six or seven and thirty. I besot Leek, but I happened to be at Chester in October last. I was at Mrs. Peake's house, and I saw the defendant there. I dined with him there. The party consisted of Mr. Wedgwood, myself, Mr. and Mrs. Copeland, and Mrs. Peake. file. Wedg wood requested me to purchase some wine for him on that amnion. Ile said it was for the occasion of Mrs. Peake'a marriage. The day after he gave me the order I had an interview with him at Mr.. Peake's house. The business then was about my being one of the trustees for Mrs. Peake'a marriage-settlement. He reposed that I should be one of the trustees, and Mrs. Peake wished it particularly. It was agreed upon by both of them to be a trustee, and I consented to be so. On that occasion the defendant said he particularly wished me to be one of the trustees; and he also said he wished Mr. Copeland, the gentleman who dined at the table with us, to prepare the marriage settlement. Mr. Cope land was an attorney. He also wished Mr. Copeland and me to meet him afterwards at Newcastle, for the purpose of re. eeiving his directions as to the amount of the jointure to be settled on Mrs. Peake. He acid he wished her to be made indepeudent of his relations. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLTPS--The defendant is be. tween sixty and seventy years of age. He was not under the hands of a surgeon at the time I saw him. Mr. Charles Copeland, examined by Mr. Caoss-1 have known the plaintiff between 13 and 14 yeses. lam her attorney upon this occasion. In the month of October last I was at Chester with my wife; I was upon a visit to Mrs. Peake, who lives at Chester., Upon the death of her aunt she retired to Chester. At the time when 1 was upon a visit at Mrs. Psalm's, it was in the month of October last, and the defendant was there. Ile paid the most marked attention to Sirs. Peske. The sub,ieet of his marriage with her was the topic of conversation at one time during the day. and then he professed a great deal of attachment towards her. He slept in the house that night, but I did not. The other three letters read by Mr. CAMPBELL in the course of his speech, were here put in and read. Mr. Copeland's examination resumed..—Early in January, 1825, after the receipt of the last letter that has been read, I called upon Mr. Wedgwood ; I told him I was directed by Mrs. Peake to ask an explanation for such • letter. I had the letter with me, and produced it. The defendant acknowledged he had acted extremely wrong in writing such a letter. lie said he had been very ill ever since he wrote it ; and he wu in • very low state at that time. He said, " I am still very much attached to Mrs. Peaks, butt am ad vised by my medical man that I am not in a it state to marry." Crosa.examined by Mr. Jgavis—l live at Leek, in Stafford shire. I know Mr. Chadwick, a surgeon at Leek, who paid ad. dresses to Mrs. Peske. I think he was younger than she was, and I believe he courted her up to about May, 111:5. I know the de fendant recently paid 1090/. that he owed to a client of niine. Mr. Wakeman called, and examined by Mr. Cs a, PiltiLL—l live on my own property at Stapeley. I know Mrs. Peake, the plaintiff. She is my cousin. Her father is living, and is a gentletnan of pro. perry residing in Cnmarvon. In December last Mrs. Peake was on a visit at my house. Sir. Wedgwood came there and treated bee widi great attention. He spoke of her as his intended wife. Mr. ilaywood—l know Mr. Wedgwood the defendant. I con sider Imn to be a man of very large property. Cross-examined by Mr. Jk:RVIII—I believe hr his sold offs good deal of bis property within the last twelvemonths, to the amount of some thousands. DEFENCE. Mr. JERVlS—OentlemenW the 74, after the Inflated speech of my learned Fiend, this is his cue. Now, I shall not attempt to address you in the style he has adopted, first, because I am in. capable of his eloquence, and aeu.ndly, because I am incapable ofd going out of my way for the purpose of distotting or exaggerating tuts. If, Gentlemen, in awarding damages on; this occasion, you are to take into consideration what my client has suffered from the abuse of my Learned Friend on the other side, I really think your damages will be extremely small; for I can conscientiously say, that in the course of my short experience upon this circuit,, which is only for thirty-one years, I never heard a defendant so abused. To 31n. Peake I will du juatioe. She is young, she is beautiful, and she is desirable, anti I trust that, in estimating damages ow this' occasion, you will fairly and impartially consider what she has really lost. She is little more than thirty, and toy poor client is more than double that age. Would it be fitting or proper then, after he had taken time to re- leer, that he should marry a young, beautiful, and desirable young woman? I say not; and his conduct would have been' much worse if lie had persisted in his proposition to marry her. You have had my client's letters read to you and commented upon. I shall not read to yor Mrs. Peake's letters to him upon this occa sion. 1 ant not instructed to make her ridiculous in the eyes of those who hear me; though possibly there are many present now 1 who would laugh quite as heartily at her !wen' as they did at Mr. Wedgwood's, while my learned Friend (Mr. Campbell l was read ing thein.The Learned Counsel then went over all the letters pro duct& putting various interpretations upon them, and concluded by submitting to the Jury than, though damages must be given for the plaintiff on this occasion, yet they might m be temperate, and he was sure they would be so, from the knowledge he had of the grod sense of the Jury. Mr. Justice Paste summed up the evidence to the Jury. Ills Lordship went through the different topics urged by the Coun sel on both rider, and made some discriminating remarks as to when they ought and when they ought not to weigh with the Jury. Ile animadverted in very severe terms upon the conduct of the de fendant, and expressed his opinion that he hail acted in a most gross and indecent manner. He thought thi4a case for consi. dentate damages; but as that was a subject more peculiarly Le. lunging to the province of the Jury, his Lordship would not in terfere with it, but left it to them. The Foreman of the Jury then said that the Jury would lika to have sonie evidence u to the wealth of the defendant, for he was reputed to be immensely rich. Mr. Justice PARK said that no evidence could be received after Isis summing up; and he earnestly entreated the Jury to dismiss from their minis every thing they might have heard in the way of report, respecting either of the parties in this blue. The Jury consulted for • quarter of an hour, and then found foe the plaintiff—Damages 1,5410/. Mr. Justice PARK then said, he could hare wished the ladies bed been requested to retire, because many parts of this cause wore exceedingly indecent 1 and he sat in pain to see so many maim wan= preheat while revolting particulars were mode THE BRITISH PRESS.

UNDER LOYD ELLENBOROUGH'S Henry Baker. a butcher, from Yorkshire, wait brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having stabbed Wm. Norris, a back ney.coachman, with a knife, with intent to kill or do him some grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor, who was brought to the Justice-roam from the hospital, stated, that a few dap ago, as he was standing neat his coach, which stood in the 31inones, the prisoner, who had been act ing very ollinsively in a public-house in the neighbourhood, sud denly made a violent blow at him, and be found that he had re ceived a wound in the hand witlia knife, which the prisoner had been brandishing about. 'f he prisoner, at the time he struck the blow, cried out that he would have his revenge. A man, named Langley, deposed, that while he was standing at the pump the prisoner made a blow at him with the knife. The instrument penetrated a prodigiously thick coat which he had on. but his waistcoat, which was made even of more strong materials, resisted the point. The prisoner afterwards, in a furious man ner, attacked the prosecutor, and wounded him, as had been Lescribed. _ . The btecher said in his defence, that he had just cnme up from the country, and that having got into the public-house, he was in duced to play at cards as well as to drink ; that as soon as the pro secutor and some others saw that he was in liquor, they took advan tage of him, won his money, and then fell upon and beat him most unmercifully ; that, exampended at this treatment, he thought that, to defend himself, he must have drawn his knife, and that had he not been intoxicated, he would not have attempted to use it. The Lout) MAYOR asked the prisoner how he could have thought of tisibg so murderous an instrument as that with which he attacked the two men who had given testimony against him ?—fle replied, that he WAS quite unconscious of what he was doing at the time. ..... It was denied that the prisoner had been gambling with any. body in the public house, or that he had been deprived of a half. penny there ; and it was sworn that he had brandished his knife to the great annoyance of the customers. Ile was fully committed un der Lord Ellenhorough's Act. Mr. Deputy Warden Saunders, of Billingsgate Market, applied to the Loa D *AY OR fecair 'teflon against a Mr. J. Vaughton, who threatened to chastise hib in the event of his refusal to .give him (Mr. Vaughton) the satisfaction which one gentleman, or any person calling or considering himself a gentleman, should demand from another upon receiving ao insult. Mr. Vaughton, it appeared, had been employed as a peace maker upon some occasion in which Mr. Saunders had been con cerned. A disagreement took place between them, and Mr. Vaughton sent a letter to Mr. Saunders, containing expressions of resentment which were not equivocal, and which induced Mr. Saunders to request the Lord Mayor to bind him over to keep the peace. Mr. Vaughton expressed his regret that he had been compelled by 111 r. Saunders to adopt the alternative complained of; but his feelings as a gentleman made it imperative upon him to write the letter. _ _ . ..... The Loan MAYOR expressed a hope that Mr. Saunders would be satisfied with the promise of Mr. Vaughton not to molest him again. Mr. Deputy Saunders said, he preferred a more substantial pro tection in the shape of bail. The Loan MAYOR sutigestcd, that under the circumstances it would be sufficient to take Mr. Vaughton's personal recognizance'. Mr. Saunders then swore that he was in bodily fear of Mr. Vaughton, who was thereupon bound over to keep the peace. 11 ATTON-GAR DEN. _ _ DARING STREET ROBBERY.—Yalterday Edward Adams, an ill-looking young fellow, was brought up for re.examination on the following charge : Miss Eninia Ward stated that between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of Friday last, she was going along Great John. street, having a reticule in her hand, containing live sovereigns and sixteen shillings in silver, when, at the corner of Taylor's row, the prisoner snatched the reticule and ran off. Witness, however, pursued him, crying "Stop thief !" and after a lung Chace, he was apprehended, having thrown away the reticule in his eight. These circumstances were sustained by the evidence of two other witnesses. The prisoner denied having committed the robbery. Mr. ROGERS, the sitting Magistrate, observed that the reticule was a very ridiculous and most unsafe depository for money. If ladies would carry cash about with them at night they should return to the old.fashioned custom of pockets ; the reticule af. forded a ' , wog temptation to thieves. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. ENTERTAINMENT OF TRATELLEIIS.—GeorgeSyner, the landlord of the Vl'heatsheaf public-house. Pratt's-place, Camden. town, appeared to answer to an information laid against him, under the Act which compels publicans to provide entertainment for travellers. Emmanuel Benjamin, a carter belonging to the London Carrier Company, stated that he was driving towards town on the evening of the dth of March, neat Cemden.town, when the horse took fright, and he was thrown out of the seat. Being very seriously bruised he was taken to the defendant's house, where he was re. fused admittance. The defendant urged in excuse that the complainant had passed the other houses before he came to the AVlteatsheaf, and that he waa perfectly ignorant of any obligation to receive him. The Magistrate said that the law was imperative in that re. spect ; but, in consideration of the defendant's ignorance of It, he would not enforce the penslty.—lnformation dismissed. The passage from Dover to Calais is likely to be unusu ally brisk this summer, owing to the annual encampment of the French army (consisting of about 30,000) falling in rotation this year to the Deptirtment of the Pas de Calais.

There is a confident expectation of a revival of trade in Leek. From the following circumstance we conclude that the prevalent distress is on the decline in that town.

Extract from the Greenock Advertiser of Friday :—" A new coach hart started to run three times aweek on the Highland road from Inverness to Edinburgh, till the beginning of summer, when it is to run daily. The Caledonian will then also run daily on the same road. A new coach is announced to run daily from Elgin to Aber deen. We will then have two coaches daily on the High land road, and three on the coast road, while it is scarcely seven years since the mail dilligenec, drawn by two horses, was the only conveyance on the coast road; and but an equal number of years preceding since there was no public conveyance to the north of Aberdeen, The multiplied means of conveyance and cornfor are striking por offoe soh growing prosperity of the eountry.—lnvernessroas t The following is literally copied from a tombstone re oently erected in Mookwearroouth church-yard.

[From the New London Price Current.] TURSO•Y, MARCH it COTTON.—There was a steady demand for Cotton last week, priori. pally for export to France; some Sarah+ have been taken for commis. tion, and American on speculation. The sales are about 3,600 bales, vin,-2,000 sway, ' tad. a Sid. for choice ; 6110 Bowels, 70. a 7irl. to good new ; and Permutes at 100. ; prices may be convidered a little higher than last week. Yesterday and this forenoon these h great brisk. cress in the Cotton trade; and we estimate the sales on 'Change yesterday at 1,100 bags, principally Peroams and Boweds; there was no advance in the prices. SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovado last week was steady, and the advag .e we stated on Tuesday last was firmly maintained; the average sales were nearly 1,000 hhds. Sugar each day. The Sugar market as sumed igsuch firmness this morning, on account of the favourable report of the delivery last week from the West India warehouses. It is nearly 1,200 cr-aks more than the corresponding week of last year, 'manse stock Is now only about 0,0 11 0 casks more than in 1623. The buyers come for ward early to purchase, and we estimate the quantity, with the pet& sale, at 1,200 casks the strong working Sugars are again birher ; the others unfurled. The Barbadoes public sale, 140 Mad*. went off with great briskuesa, Ns. a 735. about 2s. higher than the last sale. The buyers of Relined goods came freely forward last week, and the stock is in consequence much reduced ; only one or two parcels of Lumps were left on the market, and none under 775. ; Molasses were 245. Gd. There are scarcely any low goods left unsold in the market, and few LamM could be purchased at any price ; we quote 775. a 7so. ; but, we believe, it would be difficult to purchase at the (urine,. Molasses have advanced from 24e. Bd. a 265. 6d. The wholesale grocers have purchased fine goods rather extensively, but to-day the request is nut so general. The Sopm of the last East India sale realised an advance of Is. dd. a 2s. per cwt.; in foreign Sugars no purchases were reported. COFFEE.—'there were nu public sales of Coffee after the day of our publication Mat week ; the Inquiries were however extensive, and the buyers came forward freely to purchase ; some parcels of St. Domingo were bought at b2s. and b3a. but from the apparent clump of 'Wain, the gloom in the money market rather subsiding, the holders refused to sel, otherwise very extensive transactions would have taken place. The pub lie sale to-day, consisting of 110 casks IS bags Demerara and Jamaica Coffee, *old heavily at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. ; ordinary mid dling Demerara 70s. middling 735. ; good ordinary mixed Jamaica SIB. fine ordinary Stis. Bd. The request for St. Domingo and for large panda of Coffee continued to-day, but we believe no sales of any extent are re ported. St. Domingo is nominally 321. to 535. but, in consequence of the public sale, we state the market very heavy. SPICES.—The former brisk demand for Spices has subsided cons!. derably ; there are still inquiries made after Nutmegs and Pepper. FRUIT.—Some export orders fur Red Smyrna Raisins were executed last week, the prices being sufficiently low ; the quantity of Bed Smyrna Raisins and Turkey Figs exported dining the last fortnight has been Very extensive : for the home trade there is very little animation, and the pur chases continue to be confined to small parcels, at very low prices. TEA.—We gave the particulars of the first day's sale heat Tnesday ; the sale has proceeded, Congos,s have advanced from id. a Id. per lb. compared with the first day's sale, and Hawaii of the Congou kind tech 2d. a 3d. profit. We have Inserted the quotations of the descriptive. sold; the sale Is expected to close on Friday next. HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—TaIIow Is steady at 335. ; Hemp from 411. advanced to 421. on account of the Government contract. Heap from Austria and Chili is now accepted, and adequate time given for the delivery. In Flax there Is little doing. The Exchange from St, Peters burgh comes lower, lately quoted at 10d. now SILK.—The Silk market remains In a very languid and depressed due. NAVAL STORES.—The cargo of 1,:c00 barrels Turpentine, landed come weeks ago, sold at 10s. Spirits are in more request, at advancing prices. la Tar, Pitch, or Rosin, there to no alteration. OlLS.—Fish Oils are heavy and lower ; the Inquiries for Linseed Oil have Increased, the prices are also a shade higher. TOBACCO.—There were some purchases of Tobacco yesterday, io anticipation of a reduction of duty; but the Chancellor of the F.ichccal. last night, in place of further reduction, threatens to make the track "Y up the chance medley, Is. per lb. duty omitted by the Govermnentamb titles this is not however generally anticipated, and the duty of . 4 s. per lb. may now be considered permanent. There are no sales of 'fonorvo to-clay. RU If, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Spirit market in In swat of complete stagnation. The English distillers, who are exceedingly appear determined to keep the Scotch and Irish Whiskey out of the mu' ket for home consumption ; and (according to report), acting upon 1 _ 1 2, 1 system, they again reduced the price of malt spirit yesterday Is. Pr r 7 ion, making a reduction la all of about 10.9 d. per gallon on English Gis, the consequence Is, to-day there Is a complete stagnation of business. and the pekes quoted are entirely aorninal.
