WEALTH AND PRODIGALITY OP AR CIENT LAWYERS. Crassus lived in a palace at Rome in great splendour ; but he was surpassed in magnificence by Hortcnsius, whose house, most auperbly furnished, formed the centre of what was afterwards the chief Imperial lqace, which increased from t!t time of Augrrstu% to that cf Nero, till it nearly ceve►.'ed the whole Palatine Mount, and branched over other bills. Besides his mansion in the capital, he possessed tumetuous villas at Tusculum, BnnN, and Laurenturn, wkre he was accustomed to give the most elegant and ex pens-,e entertainments. Ite had nequently peacocks at his haratt !ts which he first served up at a grand augural feast, and which, sags Qarro, were much more commended by the luxurious than by men. of probity and austerity. Hi• olive plantations be is said to have regularly moistened and bedewed with wine; and on one occasion,dtwing the hew ing of an important cause, in which he was engaged along with Cicero, begged that he would change with him the previously arranged order of pleading, as he was obliged to go to the country to pour wine on a favourite platoons which grew near his Tusculan villa. What would our late frug,l Lord araneellor say to suds a motion in Court, and far such ah object of prodigality? Notwithstanding this profusion. his heir found hot less than 10,000 casks of wine in his cellae after his death. Besides his taste for wine and fondness for plantation•, the indulged a passion for pieterres and fish-ponds. Like our late Lord Chancellor he had a taste for preserving game, but it does not appear that he was so great a sportsln,,s. - At Lattentunt he had a wooded park of 50 acres, en tompxssed with a wall : this enclosure teas a nursery for wild beasts, all of which came for their provender at a cer tain hour on the blowing of a horn, an eXhibltior. with which he was accustomed to amuse his guests at this villa. )lis fish-ponds were numerous, awl kept up with great expense. He had many fishermen to supply these ponds end feed his fish, with which he could not he prevailed to part but wit:l the utmost difficulty. So that, Varro says. a friend could more racily get his males from his stables than a fish from his ponds. He was more anxious about the health of his fish than that of his slaves. It is said he was so passionately fond of a partictlar lamprey, that he shed tears for its untimely death. He was also extravagant in the prices he paid for paint ings and statues. RP, built a hall for the reception of one painting, by Osif.as, of the Expedition of the Argonauts, for which he •paid the enormous sum of 144,000 sesterces. Who eiP, accuse our modern lawyers of such prodigality ? The young Queen of Portugal took an airing in her carriage ott Tuesday through Chertsey. Her Ma jesty walked in the neighbourhood of La!sham on Wednes day, and on her return Bare a final sitting to Turnerelli for her bust. In the afternoon despatches were brought by a 'courier from the Emperor of the Brasile to the Marquis de Barbacena. The Noble Marquis, soon after receiving the despatches, came to town, and had interviews with the Marquis de Palmella and Viscount Itabayana at their re spective residences ) and in the evening returnee! to Late ham. The young Queen took a walk yesterday to Chert spy-bridge, necompanied by the Marquis de Barbacena, the Marquis .71 e Rezende, and others of her suite. The Duke of Cumberland arrived at his resi dence in the King's Palace, St. James's, about one o'clock yesterday afternoon, from a visit to his Majesty at his Pa lace at Windsor. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester ar rived at their residence in Park-lane about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, from their seat in Bagshot-park. Their Royal Highnesses have come to town for the season. Lord Gower transacted business yesterday at the Treasury, An Ami• Catholic meeting took place yester day at Tottenham, which was of a description equally re spectabie with that of Colchester, to "which we alluded yesterday. Several oti7er ineetinga of a similar character are getting up, we understand, in most parts of the country. It is understood that, under the arrangement of which Lord Lyndhurst has given notice fur the relief of thy Court of Chancery, the present Chief Baron Alexander will octnpy a new judicial office, under the designation of Vic-Chancellor of the Exchequer. The entire Equity jit 'risdiction of the Court of Exchequer will be exercised by bim in his new character, together with some portion of the business of the present Courts of Chancery—what pre cisely, we believe, has not been yet fixed. The Court of Exchequer will he rendered a Court of Common Law ex clusively ; and the place cf Chief Baron of that Court, with its jurisdiction thus curtailed, will, it is said, be'offered to Sir Charles Wetherell, the Attorney-General. We ate 3;! “1 to find that there is no intention of bestowing upon him the office of Master of the Rolls, in the event of its be coming vacant, which is not immediately probable, as we are happy to find that Sir John Leach has been able to sit, although in his private room, at the Rolls during the cur rent week. .—aforn ing Chronicle. The proofs of the approaching triumph of liberality increase every Lour. Converts multiply even on the Episcopal Bench. The names of English Bishops who have expressed sentiments favourable to the intended measure are already numerous, and augment howy. If we tarn to the Irish Hierarchy, the aspect of affairs is still more encouraging ; of the four Spiritual Peers who will be entitled to vote in the present Session, three sup port unequivocally and manfully the cause of Toleration. The Bishops of Derry, Kildare, and Meath—all eminent from the Sees they fill, and all of Noble families (Knox, Lindesay, and Alexander)—are the Prelates we allude to. The Bishop of Derry remains at his post, although with great personil inconvenience, for the sole purpose of lend ing his assistance to forward this great oljcct.—tiforning Chronicle, We can now state, upon good authority, that it has been definitively settled to erect King's College on the waste ground east of Somerset-house. The building will extend from the adjacent rear of the Strand towards the Thames, and will front the river, and it is intended to purchase three houses south of the new Church, to open an entrance to the College On the east side it will he enclosed by a wall running down Strand-lane to the Thames, and at the opposite side the old Lottery Office is to be raised, to afford room for carrying the plait into effect. Mr. Smnirke has been appointed the architect, and, judging from his talent+, the College, no doubt, will be distinguished for its convenience, accommodation, taste and elegance. In the event of the parties occupying and interested in the pr raises necessary to be taken down, in the Strand and Strand-lane, not agreeing to the terms pro posed for purchasing the property, the mild Act for erecting Somerset-house will be revived, and the amount of the value of the premises will be submitted to the decision of a jury. —Morn ing Advertiser. At the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Tuesday last, Mr. Richard Radford Rowe, a barrister of long standing, was found guilty of having induced one Mary Weston to commit p-rjory ; viz. by swearing before one of the officar of the Common Pleas that Mr. Nicholas Mahon owed her 60,000/. The case excited great interest. A very extraordinary scene took place last evening, on the occasion of the Meeting at the Crown and Anchor, of the London Protestant Club. Mr. Chairman, and Mr. Holcomb, Viceroy over hire. Mr. Stockdale (Harriette Wilson's pulisher) attended the meeting by invitation ; but when he wearer!, a consults. tion was held, while he waited outside, and after being asked if he hail a summons, which he answered in the affirmative, he was told to wait till Mr. Holcomb came. This he declined, but returned in about an hour; when he entered the rocbn, and complained of his previous recep tion. After much altercation, Mr. Holcomb proposed to ring the bell and turn out Mr. Stockdale, who theregn seated himself in defiance. Some one proposed to send for a constable, when Mr. Stockdale wlio, stating that he was like Warwick, " No welcome guest, it seems," refused to quit until they had tried their prowess and their powers. The generality of the meeting appeared disinclined to carry it quite so far, when the Chairman sent for the proprietor of the Crown and Anchor to turn out the incited visitor. Mr. Stockdale assured them he meant to use no resistance, except as to asserting his right, and it ended by the meet ing adjourning, without any resolution, to another room, when Mr. Stockdale departed. Now, in the name of com mon sense, what can the Protestant cause hope front such auxiliaries! !—Morning Chronicle. A SENGULAR GLUTTON.—Charles Domery, aged twenty-one, when a prisoner of war at Liverpool, consumed, in one day, sixteen pounds of meat; namely, four pounds of raw cows' udder, ten pounds of raw beef, two ?,ounds of tallow candles, besides drinking five bottles of porter ; and, although he was allowed the daily rations of ten men, he was not satisfied. In one year he ate one hundred and seventy-four cats dead and alive.—Athesmum. QUAKER AND COMM ISSIONERS.-- A Quaker was examined before the board of Excise, respecting cer tain duties. 'The Commi,sioners, thinking themselves dis respectfully treated by his Meting and thouing, one of them, with a stern countenance, asked him, "Pray, sir, do you know what we sit here for ?"

We have great pleasure in quoting the following from that spirited novincial Journal the Leeds Intelligencer—a Paper which has hitherto, and we will admit, most conscientiouly stood forward as the able champion of Toryism in the great county of York. But the march of liberality has now reached the opponents of Emancipation even in Leeds, for our talented eotemporary has too ranch good sense to re sist strenuously a measure recommended by his MAJESTY to Parliament, after the great Advocate of the Protestant cause has changed his opinion, from an honest conviction of the necessity of settling the question. The following paragraph derives ad ditional importance as coming from a source so long adverse to Emancipation. Had such an ad mission come from the other site, it would not be credited, but coming from the Leeds Intelligences the enemies of Emancipation will believe and tremble : MR. PEEL LANCASHIRL.-We have heard upon authority which is entitled to attention, however incredible the fact may seem, 'that several of those Gentlemen be longing to Manchester, and other parts of Lancashire, who have hitherto been among the leaders of the Protestant Cane in that County, ore Po paralyzed by recent events, that they are now disposed rather to confide in the Go vernment than to join in resistance to the change proposed by Ministers. Whether this may arise from their knew ledge of Mr. Peel's character, or from apprehensions of the consequences of exciting the religious zeal of a vast ma nufacturing population, we are not inforined, We must hope it does not arise from that subservient deference to the mere authority of a name or individual, which is im plied in a change of opinion, without an honest con viction of its reasonableness. We are also sorry to !earn, by a letter in the Manchester Courier, that up to the present time, the petition adopted at the Meeting in that populous town many weeks hark, against conces sion to the Roman Catholics, had not, up to Saturday, re ceived more than three tar four thousand signatures. Inde pendent political spirit seems to be ebbing very low in Lancashire, if we are to judge of the whole county by Manchester and Liverpooh—Since the above was set up, we have heard it reported that the people of Lancashire, in general, are disposed to bark Mr. Peel, if necessary, against all England besides. We beg to recommend the above to the tempe rate consideration of the Convocation of Oxford. They ought indeed to be proud of their Right Honourable Representative—and to be thankful too for his having afforded them a second opportunity of testifying their gratitude for his past services, and their unabated confidence in his future favours. The Duke of CUMBERLAND " spoke out" last night in the House of Lords. His Royal Highness assured the House that it was idle to expect any change in him. He would remain what he was " for better for worse," true to his principles. The Royal Duke's speech was listened to with great and deserved attention, because it will relieve men's minds from a heavy load of conjecture as to which way the " cat would jump." The Ultra-loyal Brunswickers will be glad to learn that their great Captain remains on their side, be cause they could do without him on the other. The Earl of ELDON took occasion to rejoice at the Constitutional declaration of his Illustrious Friend, adding, that the reports in circulation on the subject were both insidious and scandalous. If :;o, the more's the pity—and pity 'tis, 'tis so. However, we hope that His MA JESTY'S recommendation to Parliament will be carried into effect, notwithstanding the con scientious opposition of some Royal, and more Learned, speakers. We would have all good men on our side; but if we cannot be so fortunate, why then, we must just do without them. The following are the only articles in the French Papers worthy of extract : (Front the Gazette de France, Feb. IS.) " PARIS, PEB. 17.

The corn trade continues dull. Towards the conclusion of last week and the beginning of the present various par cels of wheat were purchased, intended for exportation, the consequence of which has been, that almost the whole of our stock in this article has been cleaned away ; the arrivals by land-carriage are trifling, and of ready sale.

STOCKHOLM, FEB. $. The Argus says, that the new tariff, instead of a general prohibition, will impose a duty of 50 per cent. on all goods. German Papers of the 13th inst. contain the Official Bulletin, referred to in the Gazette dc France, respecting the capture of the fortress of Kali, on the 24th of January. It appears that the storming was executed with admiral promptitude and courage. The renowned TCIIAPAN OGLOLT, of whose terrific exploits so much was said, had left, the fortress but two days before. The loss of the Russi.ms was not so great as might have been expected. After taking possession of Kali, they proceeded to Tournoul, in the vicinity, the whole population of which is said, after being put to the sword, to hare fled into the citadel FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, FEB. 3. The Betsey and Mary Anne, from New York, has ar rived off the Start. The Mary, Beach, from New York, has arrived off Dartmouth. The Margaret, /Wei house, from Demerara, is supposed to he arrived off Dover. The Alfred, Smith, bound to St. Kitt's and Tortola, put back to the Clyde the 17th inst. leaky. According to a mercantile letter from St. Petershurgh, dated Jannary 10, it was believed in many commercial circles in that capitol, that peace between Russia and the Porte might still be brought about before the opening of the campaign. The demands of Russia are said to be confined to the following, viz.:—The punctual fulfilment of the Treaty of Ackerman, and the reimbursement of the expenses which the present war has caused it. But in case the Porte; from want of the necessary resources, should not be able immediately to pay this indemnity, the provinces and fortresses conquered by Russia last year, shall remain for a time in possession of its troops, and be gradually evacuated according to the time fixed for the payment of the several insta►ments, which is to be arranged antler the guarantee of the Gleat Powers. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. BUCHAREST, JAN. 2S. Count Langeron, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian troops in Wallachia, and on the right bank of the Danube, ordered Gens. Nlaltnofsky and Gorman, with the regiments of Schensselburg and Ladoga, the 10th regiment of Yugers, to attack the important fortress of Kali, the tete de pont of Nicopolis (where Tchapan Oglou had been a few days before) which they executed successfully on the 24th of January. This tOrtress, tvkich has been but very lately built, is very strongly surrounded with towers and a very broad ditch, and would have required in slimmer time a regular siege. It was scaled anti taken in less than an hour. Thirty cannon, five standards, and a great quantity of ammunition, fell into the bands of tie conquerors ; a Pacha, 60 officers, and 350 soldiers, were made prisoners ; and 250 Turks killed on the ram parts. At the same moment General Mahnofsky attacked the suburbs of Tonrnoul, which is within less than cannon shot of Kali : they were also taken. The whole popula tion was put to the sword, and fled into the citadel, which daily receives its provisions from Nicopolim, by way of Kali. It is hoped that this fortress will also surrender in a few days. In these two actions the Russians had two officers and 80 privates killed, and four officers and 250 privates wounded. VIENNA, FEB. 7.—Metalliques, 97k ; Bank Shares, 1,105. Arou, DEC. 30. Colonel Fa()vier has returned to Greece. This brave officer his given proofs of rare attachment to the Greek cause, and may do great service., but he may also do much mischief, if he does not pay snore regard to those who are as much devoted to the cause as himself. He has great qualities, but he is one with whom it is difficult to live on good terms; he speaks ill of every body, hardly a Angle individual Greek, Frenchman, German, Swiss, or English man, of whom he does not complain. The Greeks, how ever, would be ungrateful if they did not acknowledge that Fabvier, with his perseverance, activity, and disinterested ness, and by the manner in which he shares all the fatigues of the soldiers, possesses all essential qualifications to or ganize the Greek, only it were to be wished that with these essential qualities he had rather more alTability and indulgence towards others. Lisbon Gazdtcs to the Sth inst. have been re ceived.

COURT OF CHANCERY. This being the first Seal after Hilary Term, the LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall at half past ten. TASTET V. LOPES. The LORD CHANCELLOR, 111 619 matter, upon the ap plication of Mr. Horne, ordered the attachment which had been issued by Mr. De Tastet to be stayed, until a motion which was tart heard was finished. IN THE MATTER OP CLEMENTS. In this case it will be recollected the Lord Chancellor wished for further information respecting the property of Mr. Clements. Air. HORNE begged leave this morning to band up that information to the Court, observing that his client felt it impossible to resist the opinion which the Court had expressed as to the incompetency of Mr. Clements to act alone in the management of his affairs, but it would be desirable, if it met the app . obation of the Court, that no commission should issue, for although the energy of Mr. C.'s mind was certainly decliring, yet there was sufficient knowledge to cause a comm:ssion to operate in a material manner on his mind. Mrs. Clement was most anxious that every poe -Bible information as to the property should be given to the Court, but his Lordship would at once perceive, in conse quence of the opinion he had expressed as to Mr. Clement's incompetency, the management of his property would be any thing but consonant with the feelings of Mrs. Clement. She, however, left it to the Court to say what should be done, assuring his Lordship that any measures he might think proper to adopt, should be most implicitly complied with. One of the Bath Papers had stated that there was a large portion of this gentleman's property, to the amount of 100,0001., in the bank, this was not the case ; there was no property there belonging to Mr. Cle ments, except two-fifths of some old debts due to the hank, which the other partners were as anxious as any one could be, to get in. ilia LORDSHIP would read the paper handed up, and inform the parties in a few days the course he intended to adopt. IN THE MATTER OF HINDE, A BANKRUPT. Mr. IIoaNE stated that proceedings had been taken in this bankruptcy, the object of which was to obtain a com mission to examine witnesses with respect to transactions which had originocd in America. Circumstances now occurred to render that course impracticable; and all the Learned Counsel now asked was for liberty to examine Wit nesses upon interrogatories.—Leave granted. MORRIS V. DAVIS. Mr. IloaNY, in asking that this matter might be ap pointed for hearing on Tuesday next, observed that it wss a case in which even an Englishman would be naturally anxious ; but the parties being all Welsh, they felt much more so. The Circuit was now approaching, and as several Common Law Gentlemen intended to be present, the Learned Gentleman trusted the Court would not think he bad asked too unsch. HIS LORIMHIP observed there wcre some part heard cases which must of necessity take precedence. Ife knew enough of this case to be well aware it would take up some considerable time. After some further discussion, it was arranged that the case should stand over till after the conclusion of the circuit. STRUTT V. FINCJI. Mr. lionNE neat instructed to request the early judg ment of the Court in this case. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. DEAN V. TOTTINGER AND SOITIF.R. Sir J. ScAut.zrr stated that this was an action for an illegal distress. The plaintiff is Chairman of his Majesty's Board of Customs, and authori.ed his son to take a house for the family at Brighton. The son engaged a house of the defendant Pottinger, at six guineas per month, but when the family arrived, ha recollected that he had not. thought of a coach house and stables. Pottinger, how ever, told him that there were two at the back of the houses, and he might take which he chose of them. The plaintiff therefore occupied it during the time they were in the house, and when he was about leaving, Sowter, who was a labourer, e mployed by Pottinger, madert claim of 11/. 10s. for the use of the stables, stating that they belonged to him, as he hail hired them of Pottinger Wore the latter had lent them to the plaintiff. The latter refused to pay the demanil, and Sowter anthorised a broker to seize the carriage and horses as they were leaving the stable ; Mrs. Dean then paid the demand, but gave them notice that an action would be brought for the recovery of the 11/. 10s. The Leaned Counsel called the plaintiff's son and an other witness, to prove the above statement. Mr. GURNEY on the part of defendmt contended, that the stables were in the possession of Snwter (who had suf fered judgment to go by delmlt), and Pottinger hail no thins to do with them, havini , let them to the other. I f he LEARNED JUDGE said, that an illegal distress had been made, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages, 11/. 10s. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(TIIIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Harriet Furrell, a respectably dressed young female, aged 17, was charged on the Coroner's Inquisition with the wilful murder of a new-born male child. Jonathan Cooke examined—l live at Isleworth, and know the prisoner ; she lived with me as servant from the 18th of last July till the 3d of January; she is a single woman ; I saw her on the morning of the 3d January, about half-past eight o'clock; she was then sitting on a chair; I asked her how it was she had not opened the shutters; she replied that she sums not able, for she had been in such dread ful pain the whole night; she shortly alternards went up stairs. Mrs. Cooke followed her, and perceived sonic marka of blood upon the table and chairs of die prisoner's room. I then went into the yard and found a stick covered with soil, on making this discovery I called in a neigh bour, named Taylor, awl we commenced a search in the privy, and soon found the body of a new born male child. I immediately sent for a constable and a inelical man ; the chill at the time it was found sheaved no symptoms of life. The prisoner had conducted herself with propriety during the tun: she was in my service. Cross-exami led by Mr. Ct.aaxsoN—The prisoner had been in my service four months before it was discovered she was in th, family way ; my wife then taxed her with it, but she dc sled that such was the case. I never saw anything cruel in her disposition. Mary Cooke, wife of the last witness, deposed to the same effect, and added that she bad on many occasions charged the prisoner with being in the family way, which she invariably denied, and always appealed to God for the truth of her statement. On the Sd Jam the prisoner came up stairs and told her she had been dreadfully ill all night. I said, good God, Harriet, you have miscarried, but she positively denied it. I told her to go to bed, which she did, and I carried her some tea; I asked her what she had put in the privy, " she said, nothing at all, what will you charge me with next ?" After the child had been found, I had some conversation with the prisoner ; I told ►,er she had better tell the whole truth, she at that time denied having miscarried, but when the child was shown to her, she said no more. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARK SON.—When I first saw the child, I did not think it full grown ; sometime subse quently' the prisoner admitted that the child NSW her's, but that it never cried, nor did she perceive that it ever moved after birth. Mr. Syers —I am a surgeon at Isleworth ; on the 3d January I was sent for to Mr. Cooke's, when I got there the child was lying on a table; after hearing the circum stances of the case, I examined it very minutely, bat could not perceive any external injuries, there were several dis colourations, but nothing that would warrant me in de- i•laring that it met with - its death by violence ; the lungs were in a healthy state, and appeared as if they had perform ed some degree of respiratio❑ ; they had a florid a ppearance, and appeared as if they had performed their functions. I can not poitively say that the child breathed freely, bqt think there were sufficient symptoms to warrant me k coming to the conclusion that it was born alive. There were cir cumstances, however, which the witness described, that might hare causo! suffocation. Mr. Justice GAZELFE here stopped the case. Ills Lordship said the Jury would be relieved from a painful duty, the evidence of the surgeon was not sufficient to sup pot t the indictment, as he did not positively swear that the child was born alive, but admitted there were ap pearances, which, if neglected by tLe mother, might have caused suffocation. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then tried on another indictment, charging her with unlawfully concealing the birth of the child. Verdict—Guilty. , The prisoner fainted several times during the trial, and was obliged to be supported by the officers of the court. Frances Han (aged 42) widow, was indicted for forg ing a pap:x writing, purporting to be the will of Anthony Bond, deoeased,:with intent to defraud John Baines Bond ; there were several counts in the indictment varyisw the offence. The p r i soner i s a mos t res p ec t a bl e looking woman, and appeitred at the bar dressed in a fashionable manner. Mr. Cuawoon, with whom was Mr. BonxlN, stated the case to the Jury, and called the following witnesses : John Gibbs, a clerk in the Prerogative office, pro duced a will, which had been proved by the prisoner, pur porting to be the will of Anthony Bond, late of the Rising Sun public-house, Windmill-street, Westminster. John Baines Bond, examined by Mr. CURWOOD—I am son of the late Anthony Bond ; the prisoner was my father's housekeeper ; he died in July, 182 S ; had not been informed of his previous illness, but in consequence of something that I heard I came up to London, and found him dead ; I attended the funeral a few days afterwards ; when I returned the prisoner said, " I suppose, John, yon will not be satisfied todess you have your father's will read." I said, certainly not. A person named Hyett was present, and told prisoner the will was locked up and she had the key. Upon which she left the room, and shortly afterwards returned with a man named, Silcocks, who read what she called thy father's last will. I wanted to read it myself, but this she refused, and snatched it out of Silcock's hand. I then asked her to let me look at the signature, when she just opened it, and closed it up again in an instant; but I saw enough to satisfy me that it was not my father's hand writing. She asked the if I felt satisfied, I replied cer tainly not. My father's death had not been communicated to me, and now it appeared he had cut me off without a shilling. Hew could I under such circumstances feel Fatis fied? I had always been on good terms with my father. Mr. Wainson, a proctor, stated that the paper now pro duced was the same as the prisoner showed to him at the time she applied for the purpose of having it proved. Mr. Anoterrus, the prisoner's Counsel, here took seve ral objections to the form of the indictment, which occu pied a considerable time. The case was not finished when wa went to press. TIIE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of most kinds of Grain this week are good, especially of English Oats. The quantity of Flour is also considerable. The Wheat trade remains inactive, a few sales have been made at rather lower prices than Monday last. Prime Making Barley maintains last quotation, other sorts are extremely dull and cheaper. Beans and Pease are almost unsaleable on any terms. Oats are very dull, and to make sales rather lower rates must be taken. The Flour trade continues stagnant. ARRIVALS. Barley. Oats.

CLOSE OF THE POLL. WEDNESDAY, }'/B. 18. The Election concluded this morning. Mr. Aglionby stated last night, that unless Mr. Brougham and the Car lisle Freemen resident in London, should arrive this ►noro ing, he would give up the contest. 'lime gentlemen did not arrive; consequently, the poll was not opened this morning, and Sir Wm. Scott was duly elected. At twelve o'clock the Hon. Baronet was chaired through the town, and this evening he dines with a large number of his friends. The Blues also dine together at the Coffee-house, where a very large party is expected. The result of the contest, considering all the disadvantages under which they took the field, is looked upon by them as moat glorious. A quantity of ale was given by the new Member to the populace, and drank at the Market Cross this after noon. There is much drunkenness amongst the Crimson party, but all is quietness and good humour. CITY MARKETS.-TWO O'CLOCK. PLANTATION SUGARS.-The business doing in this market has again been rather limited, owing partly to the large parcels of Mauritius Sugar, which are advertised for public sale this and next week (about 9,500 bags), the result of which the buyers appear anxious to know before they make any further extensive purchases in 'West India Sugars ; very full prices have been obtained where sales were made. 140 hhds. Barbadocs Sugar were sold by public sale on Tuesday, and being of good coloury quality were taken off by tlle Grocers rather eagerly at about Is. to Is. 6d. ad.. vance upon the prices of the last sale. Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 3,096 hhds., and 110 trs. Stock on hand in the West India Docks, (on 16th inst. ) 23,766 hhds., and 2,082 trs. Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on Feb. 18th, 1828) 20,713 hhds., and 1,828 trs. FOREIGN SUGARS are but partially inquired after, and very little business has been done ; 500 chests Brazil are advertised to be sold by public auction next week. REFINED SUGARS ore still rather scarce, but the market this week appears to have assumed a ratite? more languid appearance, and the business done has been exceedingly limited. The low and middling descriptions could be bought on easier terms, but the grocers continue to take off the fine qualities at last week's quotations, although not with so much eagerness; in Crashed very few transactions have taken place. COFFEE is not in very brisk demand at present, and the parcels offered by public sale this week (altogether about 400 casks and 140 brls. and bags Plantation, con sisting chiefly of Jamaica and Dominica) have not been taken off with any degree of spirit, nearly all the having been bought in at barely the last prices; the Jamaica was taken off more readily, at steady prices : in Foreign there is nothing doing, 2,000 bags Brazil, part damaged, are advertised for public sale to-morrow. Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 316 casks ; and 397 bags, &c. Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on 16th inst.) 9,675 casks ; and 78,361 bags, &c. Stock on band in the West India Docks (on Feb. 18, 1828) 11,556 casks; 85,668 bags, &c. FRUIT.—A public sale was brought forward to-day, consisting of .damaged Currants, which sold from 803. to 88s. for butts, and 89s. to 90s. for caroteels ; Red Smyrna Raisins, damaged, from 38s. to 415., one lot sound a 425. ; the chief of the business doing at this period in the Fruit market is new Denia Raisins in baskets, of the good qualities of which there are very few on hand, and which support the quotations ; but the inferior qualities, of which the quantity in first hand nearly wholly consists, are scarcely saleable, even at lower prices ; in Valenti& Raisins there is nothing doing, partly owing to the very low price of Red Smyrna Raisins, the imports of which, up to the present time, have far exceeded those of last year, and many of the merchants in consequence are induced to make sales at the present price. However opposed to the politics of The Sun, it would be unjust not to notice the great exertions cnn stantly made by that Journal, whenever P alimentary or other news occurs that may be interesting to their country readers.

SIR,— As it will perhaps be interesting to soine of your Readers to know a few of the Clerical situations held by different members of xhe Duke of Newcastle's family, you have hereunder that information. Feb. 19. A CONSTANT .READER. The Rev. Dr. Fynes Clinton, who died about a year ago, was during many years Prebendary of Westminster, worth about 1,600/. per annum.; this gentleman held also the Vicarage of St. Margaret's, Westminster, about 4001., together with the Living of Crowell, in the county of Not tingham, worth 800/. per annum. The Rev. James Webber, who married Dr. Clinton's daughter, is Dean of Ripon, Sub-Dean of Westminster, and Prebendary of the same Church ; also Vicar of St. Margaret's, Westminster, a Prebendary of York, a Pre bendary of Chichester, and has two Livings in the country. THE PRIZE RING. Tnegday, the contest which has been so long pending between Mackay and Spencer (an Hibernian), was de cided three miles and a half south of West Craigs, in the county of Lanark. It will be recollected that these com batants fought before at West Craigs, where it was in tended this fight should have taken place : on which occa sion Mackay won with ease. Their intention was to have fought on the same ground, but after the ring was formed, a beak, in the shape of a Sheriff-substitute, declared there should be no go within his jurisdiction. On this intima tion, the signal was given to move southwatd, and was, with all possible promptitude, obeyed. Both men peeled in high order, and set-to exactly a quarter-past two o'clock. The 'fight lasted 34 rounds, and was extremely well contested on both sides. The strength and endurance of Mackay were quite visible throughout. He did not receive a single knock-down blow, and came off with almost no punishment, while Spencer was dreadfully cut up ; and a second time was obliged to strike his sail to his valorous antagonist. The spectators amonnted to upwards of 5,000, among whom we ob•erred a pretty large sprinkling of the nobility and fashionables. The eons of Saint Mungo mustered strongly ; and we would not be surprised were they to look t.► the London ring for a customer to match their fa vourite.—Edinburph Weekly Chronicle. BIRTHS.
