THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER_ 30, 1837 WESTMINST '" SESSIONS, FRIDAY.f FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. There was an unr,q ,, - full attendance of magistrates this morning, it having ...ten arranged that the election of a Chair- In should take piece, in the room of Francis Const, Esq., r many years filled that situation, but who has lately _ .ed. ~wo o'clock Mr. Ballantine directed the Clerk toe P4' • Mr. Gylby) to read Mr. Const's letter of re • • • Gylby then read the following letter:— " Piccadilly, Dec. 28, 1837. :r—The Sessions having arrived at which the `Jr a Chairman must take place, I had contemplated same opportunity of thanking the gentlemen on the 41CLI for the repeated instances of partiality I had undergone tit] being placed in the Chair, and at the same time to resign any further appointment, but on adverting to various circum stances to which my memory led me, I am bound to confess I 3 ield to certain feelings which would render a personal attend ance (to say the least of it) uncomfortable. I have therefore availed myself of my friend Mr. Ballantine's kindness, who undertakes the business of the Sessions, and I must request of you, Sir, to make my thanks ecceptab e to the magistrates for my many years' enjoyment of the office of Chairman, and Lispeetfully to decline any further appointments, and assuring them that this last duty is felt by me beyond any former act, whilst it at the same time proves the propriety of my resigna tion. Were I, while taking leave, to omit mentioning my obligations to the gentlemen of the bar, whose personal atten tions have been properly estimated, and to whom I return my thanks, I should be ungrateful, and with much regret, there- fury, I take my leave, and am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " FRANCIS CONST. " S. P. Gylby, Esq., Clerk of the Peace." Mr. PRENDERGAST here rose, and passed a high eulokrium on their late Chairman i n th e names o f t h e gent l emen o f the bar generally, whom he knew were fully sensible of the great k ndness which Mr. Coast had invariably shown towards them. —( Hear. hear.) Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE then moved the following resolu tion—" That this Court receives with great regret the resig nation of their late Chairman, Francis Const, Esq., and return him their most sincere acknowledgments for the able and im partial manner in which he fulfilled the duties of that office for so many years past." The resolution having been carried, Mr. Truc bad the honour to propose Mr. Sergeant Adams to fill the vacant situation of Chairman of that Court. Sir CHARLES FOIUHLS seconded the nomination. Mr. WittTE then proposed Mr. Sergeant Andrews, and Mr. AMTOTT seconded the proposition. A short time before the time fixed for the closing of the ballot (four o'clock), Mr. AMYOTT, on the part of Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, was aathorised to withdraw his name as a candidate. Soon after four o'clock the scrutineers came into Court. At length a motion was made by Mr. GRAHAM, that Mr. Ser geant ADAMS be elected the Chairman of the Westminster Sessions. It was put and carried unanimously. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS was then introduced, when Mr. BALLANTINE felt great pleasure in informing him tha he had been, by the unanimons vote of the magistaates present elected Chairman of the Westminster Sessions. There being no other business before it, the Court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOU USE. A man named Ben Johnson, who had been stud-groom to a gentleman of fortune, was brought. before the Loan MAYOR by John Forrester, the officer, udon a warrant charging him with having stolen three ho: sea belonging to his master. The prisoner was remanded. Two boys, named MCormac and 'lcahn; were charged with having stolen as much lead as they could carry from premixes occupied by the workmen of Mr. Chadwick, the builder. APCormac, who is only thirteen years old, said, " Please you, my Lord, we didn't sack the lead. I'll tell )ou how it was. This boy and me were going along the street nest. a gateway, and I spies a man wo: was a looking about to see Low the land lay ; so I knowcd he was a'ter no good, and I says 'stop a bit.' So I looks at him a minute, and he tried to sit over a summit, to hide from us wut he had ; and I looks at him again, and then he see'd that I knowed how the land lay, c.c.4 ho says to us, You won't tcll nobody will you.' No,' says we, ' we don't want to tell nobody ; bat I kept looking at him, and then says be, You may have this bit ;' and so we took a bit a-piece—and that's how we got it." The LORD MAYOU-1 shall send you both to Bridewell for two months ; for if I discharge you you will begin to thieve the moment you get out. M'Cormac—No, we won't, my Lord; we never means to do anything but what': right again. It's no good to be going a .out ;digging. The other boy said that as the min givLd 'em the Ftutf it could not be said that they prigged it ; but he supposed if they bought it, it would be all the same, and as that was the case, it was no use to be honest. They were then committed to Bridewell. WAR-OFFICE, DEC. 29. Ist Regiment of Dragoon Guard's—Lieut. G. D. Scott, to be Captain, by purchase, vice Dames, who retires; Cornet M.

Mrs. Nally Johnson was charged with having stolen Iss. from Mrs. Mary Clarke. The complainant proceeded to state that the high price of beef induced her to substitute a leg uf pickled pork for Christmas dinner ; but Lying, on Christmas Eve, so liberally partaken of the " compliments of the season" she felt herself the next morning totally unable to encounter the arduous task of making the customary pudding, and she therefore begged her fellow-lodger, the prisoner, to come and cook for her. The prisoner readily undertook the charge, and finding the complainant still continued rather overpowered, she recommended her to take a nap and a drop of short, while she set about preparing the dinner. The complainant followed the prisoner's advice in both points, and left the care of the dinner to the prisoner. Now the prisoner, it subsequently turned out, had all the morning been imbibing '• anti-fogmatics," with her friends, and she was, therefore, in a very little better situation than the complainant. In attempting to lift the pork into the pot the joint slipped and fell among the ashes. The husband of the complainant, to mend the matter, intending the meat to undergo an ablu tion before being again consigned to the saucepan, popped it into a pail which usually contained clean water, but which, on that day, had been used by both ladies to hold a collection of family slops. The pudding met with no better fortune, for, on dishing it it slipped out of the pudding-cloth on to the floor, and in addition it was ascertained that the plums had been overlooked. While these disasters were occurring the complainant was lying on the bed, but not so totally oblivious as to be unable to tell what was transacting. The prisoner, however, thought otherwise, and approaching the bed, she drew a purse, containing six half-crowns from the complain ant's pocket. Complainant seized the prisoner, who ran into her own room. A policeman was called, and a search was made, but the money was not found. The prisoner, during the statement of the complainant, kept up a sort of Irish howl, and on spying a little Irish sailor in the office, called out, " Och, Mr. Murphy, you're come to save me life. You know me ; you know I'm the mother of thirteen childer, and ye did'nt see me take the money." Mister Murphy, thus appealed to, said, I wint out, your Worship, on Christmas-day to take a walk to get an appetite for dinner, and I came home, not drunk, but as sober as pos sible on such a day. The first thing I seen was Mistress John son sitting on the stairs wid a policeman. " Och," says she, "'Mister Murphy," says she, " here's a sore business," says she. " I'm charged," says she, " wid stealing," says she, " Mother Clarke's money," says she. " Indeed," says I, " its a had business," says I, " that same," says I, " but I hope," says I, " Mistress Johnson," says I, " for the sake of your family," says I, " you'll get over it," says I. " Mister Murphy," says she, " you've known me," says she, " for upwards of ten years," says she, " and more," says she, " and you didn't know," says she, " any harm'of me," says she. " No," says I, " Mistress Johnson," says I, " you are an honest woman," says I, " widout any harm," says I, " barring," says I, " a drop of drink," says I. Mr. CONANT—What is it you have come to swear ?-111ur phy—That I never seen her take the money. Mr. CONANT directed the prisoner to be remanded fur a few days. HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday Patrick Carey was brought before Messrs. ROGERS and BENNETT, charged with having attempted to mwrder his wife. The prisoner did not deny the charge, and he was ordered to find good bail, for which he was locked up. A young woman, far advanced in pregnancy, entered the office, to ask advice how to obtain assistance. She was in service at the west end of the town, but, having been se duced, she was ultimately compelled to leave her situation, and, becoming completely destitute, she sought refuge in the house of a poor woman, who accompanied her, residing in St. Andrew's, - Holborn, to which parish she applied for relief, but they referred her to Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. They referred her back to St. Andrew's, and she had been sent backwards and forwards ever since to no purpose, until she at length began to be afraid of the consequences. she was informed that the Mag istrates could not interfere or render her any assistance, an d it would be useless for her to see them. Applicant (afflicted)—l am in great distress, and I must perish in the streets. The officer informed her that the parish to which she be longed was bound to relieve her if a proper application was mule. The applicant quitted the office with her friend, saying that she felt satisfied she would not receive assistance until it was too late. UNION-HALL Yesterday William Jennings, a young man, was brought 'before Mr. Jeremy charged with assaulting and robbing Mrs. M. A. Matthews on Wednesday night. The prisoner denied .that he had committed the offence, and be was remanded, to give an opportunity for fin , iing the stolen property. WORSHIP -STREET.

True eloquence has, of late years, most grievously de clined at the English Bar. I am not sure whether there . be not now a greater number o f soun d l awyers i n West minster Hall, than at any former period ; but surely, no one who knows anything of the subject will pretend that, in point of genuine eloquence, the Bar of the present day can admit of a moment's comparison with that of a former period. At present I know of no master-spirit in West minster Hall. We look in vain, for an Erskine or a Brougham —we look in vain in our Courts of Law even or such men as but lately conferred a lustre on Scotland, and Ireland, by the brilliancy of their forensic displays of either country. We cannot boast either of a Jeffrey or of an O'Connell. Whence is this ? What is the cause of this decline in true eloquence at the English Bar ? I have heard various reasons assigned for it ; but I cannot concur in any one which has yet been mentioned to me. The most common hypothesis is that there is now a greater number of cases before our Courts, and that consequently those Barristers who possess the greats bi,ilities are retained in so many cases, that they are ~to a certain extent, obliged to make their forensic ex hibitions a matter of mere business ; which, it is said, pre cludes that attention to their matter and style, which is indispensable to the loftiest order of eloquence. I cannot see any force in this. If such were the case, how happens it that none of the Junior Counsel, whose minds are not distracted by an accumulation of business, give no indica tions, in any of their efforts, of the possession of true elo quence ? Besides, the most successful and most cele brated lawyers in Westminsttr Hall, did not leap into an overpowering business at once. Many of them remaned for years unknown to public fame, after being called to the Bar. Why did they not distin guish themselves by eloquence and oratory of a cam mending order, before their minds were distracted by the multiplicity and extent of their professional business ? The simple answer is, that none of them have possessed, any more than they now display, the higher attributes of genius. My own decided opinion is, that adventitious cir cumstances of any kind have nothing to do with that dearth of genuine eloquence which is so manifest in most of the forensic efforts of the present members of the bar. I am satisfied that the real cause is to be found in the ab sence of the higher order of genius, and in nothing else. Wherever there is this order of genius, it will rile superior to all accidental circumstances ; its innate energy will over co ne every obstacle which would oppose its manifestation, and cause it to burst forth on an astonished and admiring world. If there were any incipient Erskines or Broughams in Westminster Hall at present, the light of their genius would soon break out in their oratory, in all its dazzling splendour. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From Prince's Price Current of last Evening. ) COTTON WooL.—The improved demand noticed last week has not been continued, and the market has been quiet, the sales being to a very limited extent, but former rates are main tained. SIVAR.—The West India Raw market being closed until Tuesday next, we have no business to report. The market is expected to open with a good demand, as the stock continuos very short, and it is said that the town and country trade have but little in their bands. The Gazette average price of Mus covado Sugar for the week ending 26th December (which will appear in this night's Gazette) is computed at 41s. 4id. per cwt. in bold, and the same time last year it was oosyuted at 355. SP. per cwt. The stock of British Plantation is 17,378 hhds. and trs., against 32,617 at the corresponding period of 1836, thus show ing a decrease of 15,239 hhds. and trs ; the deliveries last week were 1,183 hhds. and trs., against 2,494 at the same tims last )ear, thus showing a decrease of 1,311. MAURITIUS.—There are inquiries privately for this descrip tion and some small parcels have been sold at full the rates of the last public sale. The sleek of Mauritius is 29 545 bags, against 26,241 at the same time last year, thus showing an increase of 3,304 bags ; the deliveries last week were 2,487 bags, against 2,007 last ear. - EAST INDIA.—The prices of Bengal are very firmly sup ported, but the transactians are quite unimportant. Manilla is still held firmly, although there is not much enquiry, and no business of moment has transpired; the supply is limited. ' REFINED. —The market remains very firm, and there are still very few goods ready for delivery : the demand from the grocers has been very moderate, but they have again been compelled to pay rather higher prices ; for Lumps passing the standard 80s. have been paid, and for those rather under 78s. and 795. per cwt. The sales for export have been trifling, at 38s. for fine Crushed, at which price there are further buyers, but the refiners are not sellers under 38s. 6d. per cwt. COFFEE. —There have been no public sales of this commo dity, and by private treaty no business has transpired. West India has been very little enquired for, but the holders do not appear anxious to sell under late prices. Ceylon remains no minal in value, there being no buyers at the late quotations, and none is offered at lower prices. Mocha continues. to be held firmly for late prices, but there is no demand. The present stock of British Plantation Coffee is 3,392 casks and 1,281 barrels and bags, against 4,356 casks and 2,398 barrels and bags at the corresponding period of last year ; thus shewing a decrease of 964 casks and 1,117 barrels and bags. Thef deliveries last week were 256 casks and 48 barrels and bags, against 190 casks and 79 barrels and bags at the same time last year. CHICORI.—The holders remain very arm, and the demand continues at 2,3/. per ton. PIMENTO.—There has been more inquiry for this article, and full former rates have been paid ; small parcels of good fair and good have sold at 3d. and 3id. per lb. PEPPER.—Speculators have again made their appearance in this market, and an extensive business has been done, say about 4,000 bags, at an improvement of id. per lb. on last week's rates; common Sumatra has brought aid. to Sid., and there are now no sellers under the latter price, and good heavy Malabar 4id. to 41d. per lb. TRA.—More than half the quantity of Tea brought for ward at the current sales has now passed the hammer. There has been but little animation displayed on the part of the buyers ; the finest Congous have brought a slight advance upon the rates of the previous sale ; and Boheas a consider able one ; these are the only descriptions that exhibit any im provement ; low Congous, ruling at Is. 6i-d. t• is. 7id., are somewhat lower than in October, while Twankays at is. 10d. to Is. 11d., although exhibiting an advance upon the quota ions of that period, have certainly declined upon the. market 24 21 98 76 value. Rms.—The grocers have purchased very small quantities of Carolina at 325. to 345. per cwt. Tormcco.—The market continues very firm, and prices are improving, 'with a fair demand on speculative account, and a moderate business is doing by the home trade; for export few or no sales, owing to the advanced season of the year. SPlrters.—The Rum market continues very firm, and full the former rates have been paid, but the quantity in first hands is still so small that the purchases are only to a very limited extent, viz. a parcel of about 30 puns. Leewards, 7 to 8 per cent. over proof, at 2s. 9d. ; a parcel of about 40 puns. ditto, 11 to 12 per cent. over proof, at 2s. lid. ; and about 100 puns. of Brazil, 16 per cent. under proof, at Is. 10d. per gal lon. No sales have transpired in Jamaica descriptions. In the Brandy market there has been scarcely any business stir ring, but the prices remain as before quoted. Geneva is un altered. A Government contract for Rum is expected to be an nounced early in the ensuing month. As extensive seizure has been made within the last few days on the river Thames of contraband Brandy and Geneva ; the quantity is 518 kegs, a good many of which contained the best French brandy, and have been deposited in the Queen's warehouse at the Custom-house. The valne of the liquor is estimated at 2,3001. This seizure has created a great sensa tion in the trade. SALTPETRE.—Notwithstanding the rebellious state of Ca nada, this market has not received any impulse ; the sales have been confined to trifling parcels at the rates recently paid. INDIGO.—The accounts received last week from India, re presenting the great increase in the crop of Indiga, have oc casioned a very flat market for the article here ; there is no demand, and the prices are completely nominal. The trade are proceeding with the inspection of the Indigo declared for public auction on the 16th of January ; they have gone over 2,451 chests, which present the following assortment, and are valued according to the last sale's prices, viz. :-130 chests very fine shippers, 7s. 6d. and upwards ; 390 fine shippers, 7s. to 7s. 6d. ; 811 middling to good ditto, 6s. 6d to 7s. ; 381 ordinary to middling shippers and fine consumers, 6s. 3d. to 6s. 6d. ; 300 middling to fine consumers, ss. 9d. to 6s. 3d. ; 165 low to ordinary ditto, 4s. 6d. to ss. 9d. ; 250 Oude ; 24 Java. WooL.—Those 'Sorts of English Wool in request are still very scarce, and as few are likely to be brought to market for some little time to come, the prices gradually creep up for such descriptions. Foreign in fair demand at firm prices : MAHOGANY. —157 logs of Honduras, of large dimensions, just landed, were put up io public sale, and sold at 51d. to ltd. per foot for ordinary to superior quality. very destructive fire broke out yesterday, at Davis' Wharf, in the Borough, which consumed and destroyed about 700 tuns of various sorts of Oil, consisting principally of Southern, with a good deal of Linseed Oil, and nearly al the Cod Oil that remained here. This calamity has tended to mako the market somewhat firmer for Fish Oils, but there is no anxiety to purchase, and it seems that no business has been done since this disastrous occurrence. Linseed Oil has be come less in demand, but no change can be quoted in the 'prices ; they are net quite so firm Rape Oil m ay b e pur chased more easily at late prices, but the demand is still languid, and very few purchases have been made. Since writing the above, some parcels of Cod and pale Seal Oil have been sold at an advance of 2/. to 31. per tun, the former at 44/., and the latter at 45/. per tun. TURPONTINIL —There is still very little request for rough, but the market looks rather firmer, in consequence of about 2,500 barrels having been destroyed by the fire above alluded to ; no sales have however been made at any advance. Spirits continue dull of sale, but they are held with more firmness. TALLOW.—There has not been much business done in this market since our last, but as the stock is small the holders aro firmer, and prices may be quoted 3d. to 6d. per cwt. higher, ruling from 455. 6d. to 465. per cwt.

An Order in Council in last night's Gazette ap points Wednesday, the 31st of January, as the day on which the Lords of the Privy Council shall take into consideration the petition of the inhabitant householders of Chatham that a Charter of Incorporation be granted to that borough. The Gazette of last night contains an Order in Council, dated the 11th instant, that from and after that date (in consequence of the equalisation, by the King of the Ne therlands, of the duties and drawbacks on cargoes, whether in Dutch or British vessels), " Dutch vessels entering or de parting from the ports of the United Kingdom of Great Bri tain and Ireland, together with the cargoes on board the same (such cargoes consisting of articles which may be legally imported or exported) shall not *be subject to any other or, higher duties or charges whatever than are or shall be levied on British vessels entering or departing from such ports, or on similar articles when imported into, or exported from, such ports in British ♦essels ; and also that such articles, when ex• ported from the said ports in Dutch vessels, shall be entitled to the same bounties, drawbacks, and allowances that are granted on similar articles when exported in British vessels." We learn that the Treaty of Commerce and Amity between Great Britain and the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, lately sent over to this country, for the ratification of Govern ment, has been returned to Lima, duly signed and sealed, by her Majesty's frigate President, Capt. Ross, which sailed from Falmouth for the Pacific two or three days since.

HOPS.—WORCIiSTER, DEC. 27.—The business done in our market on Saturday is scarcely worth quoting, only 45 pockets of new Hops, and 10 of old, having passed the scalps. During the week, new 8, old 2. The prices ob tained fully realised our last quotations, namely, n ew Worcester, 565. to 765. ; ditto very fine, 80s. to 86s. ; year lings, 455. to 635. ; 1834-1835'5, 365. to 565. It is anticipated as Christmas is turned, that business will be more brisk, and higher prices obtained. Number of pockets of Hops weighed in the Worcester Hop Market, from Dec. 25, 1836, to Dec. 25, 1837: new, 25,845 ; old, 3,583. SINS OF IGNORANCE.-11l the course of the So licitor- General's pleading on Wednesnay in the Auchterarder case, he cited a case raised between Lord Dundas and the Presbytery of Shetland, in consequence of the latter having exercised tho right intrusted to them, jure devoluto, in a parish where, owing to the imperfect communication between the islands and the mainland, Lord Dundas, the patron, had allowed six months to elapse without filling up the vacancy. The Lord President remarked on th's, that the Presbytery should have been more tender to Lord Dundas in point of time, as the Presbytery of Shetland were most loyally praying for King James six months after the Revolution,--Scottish Pilot. firmer, but the business is confined within a small compass, at much about the prices quoted last week. PROVISIONS.—We have still to report an excessively dull market for almost all articles under this denomination, and even at lower rates it is difficult to effect sales. The arrivals of Foreign Butter have again been large, but they comprise only a small quantity of fine qualities, which sell at much the same prices as those current last week, and sales are very slow; other sorts are very dull, and barely realize so good prices as before. The demand for Irish Butter continues very limited, indeed barely sufficient to meet the wants of the trade, and in many cases lower prices have again been accepted, mostly for the inferior descriptions ; in feet, the market is in tihat depressed and unsettled state at the present time that prices cannot be quoted accurately. For Scotch Butter there is still very little request, and prices remain almost nominal. In Lard the transactions arc insignificant, at former rates. There is still no disposition evinced to purchase Bacon for forward delivery, and for parcels landed there con tinues very little request, for the inferior kinds a slight decline in prices has been taken ; really prime quality brings our top quotation, but the sales are very trifling. There is a moderate business doing in Scotch Pork, fine quality is selling at 48s. to 503., and stout and second quality at 365. to 38s. per cwt. The stocks of English Cheese are very large, which oppress the market very much, but no further decline in prices has taken place. In Foreign Cheese there is no alteration to notice. Eggs are in steady demand at the quotations. Irish Beef and Pork are in steady demand, but prices are rather lower. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR DECEMBER. The field-labours of this monthconsist of fallow-plough. ing such lands as have been, since its commencement cleared of thei r t urni p s , m ange l- wurzel, or other beet or , succulent bulbous roots ; giving tl.e seed furrow for early beans, carting out manure, both t o t h e lands destined to be sown with these and also oats, i n J anuary ; draining of lands, filling and planting decidu ous t i m b er trees and coppices ; planting hedgerows, carting h ome fi re-50ot or fuel ; mgndin g th a t c h and fen ces , l oo ki ng to early lambing ewes, mixing composts, going to market to sell produce, to cattle shows for experience, &c. The pastur es and other grass lands, both seed and natural, together with the sheep downs, are still, generally speaking, !oath% fresh, and tole. rably well covered with herbage, and the stock depa,tured on thee" doing well, with the aid of very little, if any, d ry or succulent fodder, whilst that at the home-stall, and live farm stock in general, is in a satisfactory healthy state ; and the yeaning of those ewes which bear lambs to be fat tened for spring consumption have proceeded hitherto under favourable auspices. There is, too, a good crop of turnips, mange] wurzel, and other beets ; and a good ono of potatoes was secur e d in the la s t an d ear l y part o f t h e present mon th ; whilst th e autumnal sown wheat plants are, on most soils that ought to be sown with wheat, planting well, strong, and healthy, and, notwithstanding the mildness of the season, tolerably free from insect. Indeed, so mild has been the atmosphere nearly the whole of the month, th4,t there has not been one instance, in any o f our sout h ern, W estern , or midland dis. tricts, of a frost productive of ice thicker than the pap er on which this is printed ; whilst there have been no more than two windy, as many rainy, and as many densely foggy days or nights ! Christmas-day resembled a fine Easte r Monday. In brief, there has been nothing except the nudity of th e d ec id uous s h ru b s and trees to di s ti n guish it from the gene ality of Septembers. As relates to the month's prices of farm produce, these have been in everything drooping, which is very unusual on the approach of Christmas. Say those of fat stock at from 4d. to Bd. per 81bs. ; of each kind of grain, from Is. to 4s. per quarter ; horses from 31. to 5/. ; mulch cows 1/. to 2/. ; suckling calves and store pigs, 2s. to 3s. per head ; hay and straw 3s. to ss. per load ; wool lid. to 2d. per lb. ; hops 2s. to 3s. per cwt. ; and game and poultry and dairy produce about 10 per cent. The depression in the fat stock in Smithfield being attributed to its club cattle show commencing so early id the month as t h e Bth, causing the great Christmas supply to come into the market before man y b utc h ers were f urn i she d w ith the means of buying th e i r Ch r i stmas stoc k , an d most others who were n o t liki ng t o d o so on account of the aston,sli ing rapidity w ith w hi c h i t f a ll s away, consequent ly le!" weight both in carcass and internal fat, both by travelling or being for a f ew d a y s t a k en f rom i ts fatten i ng di e t. It is well known to experienced graziers, butchers, and sales men, that highly-fed beasts, when taken from their wonted fond, if even fed on plenty of good hay, and having' plenty of water, will, both from travelling, and being shut up in a bullock pound, fall away from five to six of every 100 stones of Blbs. in carcass, and 2lbs. of every 81bs. of its loose or interior fat, in four or five days. Hence, we con ceive, that the middle of the month —say from the 15th to the 17th—would b e qu it e ear l y enough for the conc l u sion of the Club's show, and holding the great Christmas market. The official account of the imports, exports, and sales of foreign grain, for the month ending on the 9th, not having yet transpired, we can only say that both this month and last these have been but inconsiderable ; and that in part of this report which relates to the field, we have, we pete . lve, omitted to assert that these, in no part of the en 1 P 1 ") have exp er i ence d scarce l y a d ay ' s atmospherc obstruction, consequently, all may be considered as snugly in places. Th e p reva ili ng op i n i on o f those interested i n t h e corn trade seem s t o b e , t h at pr i ces, though there shoul d b e for some w ee k s a f rozen nav i gat i on, w i ll not be much hig h er than at pr esen t ; an d we must say t h at we consider tne character of th e w h ea t offered for sal e , an d so ld at Mark lane, as i n some i ns t ances muc h a b used. their MINN NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 2G.—The Inconstant, 36, Captain Pring, is under orders for the north of Spain, whither she will proceed as soon as the present hazy weather clears away. She has embarked one thousand stand of arms, and accoutrements, &c., which has led to a rumour that the Marine battalion at Passages will remove in her to Halifax, to assist in the suppression of the rebellion in Upper Canada. Lieutenant -Colon e l Aslett, R.M., takes passage in the Inconstant, to hold command under Lieute nant-Colonel Parke. Captain Hyde Parker, C. 8., at present in command of the Rodney, 92, in the Mediterranean, is to have the superintendency of the dock-yard at Pembroke, vice Cutnby, deceased. officer stands high in the naval service. The Brisk, 8, is commissioned by Lieut. Arthur Kellett (1825), for service on the west coast of Africa. She will soon bo ready, being completed by the dock-yard. The customary advance of wages has been paid to the crew of the Melville, 78, Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundss. Rear-Admiral Elliot will proceed in her to the Cape of Good Hope the moment a slant of wind occurs, to relieve Vice-Admiral Sir Patrick Campbell, K.C.8., who will re turn to England in the Thalia frigate. The Tyne, 28, Captain John Townsliend, and Wasp, 16, Commander the Hon. Dudley Pelham, are nearly ready for sea. Their destination is the Mediterranean, whither it is expected they will proceed in about three weeks. The Seaflower cutter, with her tender, Cracked, under the orders of Lieut. Joseph Roche, has arrived from Jersey, the oyster fishery season there having terminated. ---- - At a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the eastern townships (Lower Canada), held at Sherbrooke, the following, among other resolutions, was passed:—." That a representation of our readiness to receive the commands of the Executive, and to render all assistance that it may be in our power to afford her Majesty's Government, be immediately forwarded to his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief, with an expression of our desire that the necessary appointment of officers for some troops of Light Dragoons and companies of Rifles be early made —and a request that his!Excellency will direct the issue from the ordnance stores of arms and accoutre ments for the necessary number of men for the two corps." TRIFLES TO SMILII AT.--A deceased, upright, and able chief-justice of one of the courts was once obliged thus to address a southern jury :—Gentlemen of the jury, in this case the counsel on both sides are unintelligible ; the wit nesses on both sides are incredible ; and the plaintiff and de fendant are both such bad characters, that to me it is indiffer ent which way you give your verdict." Some catalogues and printed particulars given by autioneers are truly curious. Placards headed " sa l e of a nobleman, " may lead many per sons to suppose that the sale of a nobleman's person is to take place in the most public markets of the metropolis. In a catalogue, a " great man's coat," and an " elegant lady's shawl," may seem to show that the pressure of the times affects all ranks till it is explained that, by incorrectly placing the adjectives, two common articles of dress are only meant. " A mahogany child's chair" has certainly a dubious meaning ; " moveable fixtures" is declared to be correct, because techni cal—but in a sale of linen-drapery, " a matchless piece of Irish," with twelve successive lots of "ditto," is certainly an unequalled specimen of Hibernianism. A jury in one of the Cinque Ports, being charged with an old woman accused of stealing a pair of boots, moved probably by the infirmities and miserable appearance of the prisoner, returned the following verdict :—" we find her not guilty, and hope she will never do so any more." On a grave-stone in the cemetery of Pere-la- Chaise, is the following singularly prudent inscription, which, in its praise of the dead, does not lose sight of the living : " Here lies N—, the best of fathers, the most tender of hus bands, His inconsolable widow still keeps the fancy shop, Rue Richelieu, No. ** The NEW FLAT GOLD WATCHES.
