SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Tories seem about to change their tone ; they have bawled themselves hoarse with ridiculous accusa tions against Ministers for submitting to the authority of Mr. O'Connell ; they have shouted till they could shout no longer on the subject of what they called " the Lichfield-house conspiracy," and " the Lich field-house compact," and finding at last that they were only heard and not heeded, it now looks as if • they were going to take up the matter in a different way. Hear the Morning Post of yesterday :—" Mr- O'Connell, acting by the advice of her Majesty's Ministers, tre., has made a show of dissolving the rebel ?Association in Dublin." What I " Mr. O'Connell acting by the advice of her 'Majesty's Mi nisters"? Has he condescended to take " advice" from the Queen's Government ? We thought, until now, according to the Tories, that the Queen's Go vernment had acted, not, indeed, by his advice—that would be too moderate an exptession—but by his dic tation and command. Is, then, the position or dispo sition of the respective parties so completely altered, that he, who less than a week ago imposed his own terms, who settled everything, by his " absolute shall," and ruled in Dublin Castle with a rod of iron now submits to take advice from the vety persons who formerly trembled at his nod ? This is strange, but if we may trust our fashionable contem porary, not so strange as true ; for " Mr. O'Connell, acting by the advice of her Majesty's Ministers, or in fluenced, we ought rather to say, by the more valuable considerations which it is in their power to supply, has made a show of dissolving the rebel Association in Dublin." In this sentence we find to be sure, an al ternative, but it is much like the alternative known by the proverbial phrase " Hobson's choice," a sort of Irish alternative with but one side to it ; if Mr. O'Connell were not in a situation to be longer able to resist " the advice of her Majesty's Ministers," he was most 'probably influenced by considerations which '' they had it in their power to supply," and which con siderations were indeed" valuable," if they had the ef fect of reduclog such an unruly monster not only to tractableness, but to absolute onedicnce and submis s:on. Henry VIII. said that as all Ireland could not rule the Earl of Kildare, the Earl of Kildare should rile all Ireland, and therefore made him Lord De puty- ; but if vt e may believe such great authorities as the Post, Times, and Standard, Mr. O'Connell has Lithelto ruled all Ireland, not because all Ireland merely could not rule him, but because be was not to he ruled all England, Scotland, and Ireland put toether. We are heartily rejoiced, therefore, to hear of,the weal chatwe that has taken place, and we eon ,erattdate the Queen's Govern:rent, and the Queen's Lord-Lieutenant in particular, upon their liberation from the intolerable bondage under which they have for some time been suffering. The Morning Post speaks the voice of the Tories, though not quite in so loud and imposinli a key as some others, and from it we learn that Air. O'C:nicil has acted '' by the advice of her Majesty's Nroi,t?rs. - The fact, however, is, that the Tories and their or, ails are utterly' reckless as to the assertio ns th e y tn:&, provided they answer the temporary purpoe. To-day it is " advice," because it suits the present argument—and to it may be " dictation" again, if any thing is to he gained by it. How true, how ever, either the one cr the other is, we rtt!ter think we may safely leave to the judgment of our re, , tkrs. liet:oiletling that the :ilor:?ig Post is an Odposition Journal, and is iikely so to continue, it is astonishing to observe how much it knows of the in nermost secrets of the Cabinet. Wc learn upon this indisputable evidence sev;r:ll facts of which ‘re had he fore no knowledge, and ,we are parenthetically as surcd t..viec over that they are not for a moment to be doubted. Thus, "Elie Lichfield-house compact" is at an end, althongh we, poOr ignorant: never knew that it had a be;zinning " a new compact diff,ring essentially from that of Lichfield-house" has been agreed to, and the whole policy of Ministers with re gard to Ireland is to be turned topsy-turvy : " of this fact there is no doubt whatever," quoth the Morning Post ; and in the same strain it preeeeds with oracular dogmatism, which we cannot pretend to resist, to point out other " facts" of equal importance, and no doubt of (-qua! certainty. It affects to draw inf,rences from the re cent " dissolution of the rebel Parliament in Dublin ;" hilt it is quite evident that the Post is in the councils of the Queen's Government, and, as it seems to us, rather Prematurely makes its dis c l osures . W e own t h at we 'fell rather sore upon the subject ; for having all along supported Ministers in their measures for the improve ment of our national institutions, and for the ameliora tion of the condition of the people, we think it a little hard that the Morning Post should have been sud denly taken into their confidence, while we are left to pick up and circulate intelligence at second-hand. One thing is quite evident—that our Tory contemporaries are, and will be, vastly under obligation to Mr. O'Con nell for this act of dissolution, as well as for the speech by which it was accompanied. It affords them a theme which will probably last until the meeting of Parliament. It will be almost as great a god-send to them in general as the article in the Quarterly Review has been to the Times in particular. The Morning Post of yesterday calculated that we had devoted three feet and some inches of our columns to Mr. Lechmere Charlton : we should like to know how many yards of the Times have been lately tilled by quotations from the remarks of the Quarterly upon the speech of Lord Juhn Russell at Stroud. Day after day the Times has been stuffed with praises of that " masterly, wonderful, brilliant, convincing, unanswerable, &c., production," and to these have regularly succeeded columns upon columns of extracts. The Times has not yet informed us how it happens that, from the time when Lord J. Russell delivered his speech, up to the date of the publication of the Quarterly, it was so dull, so blind, and so blunt as not to have been able itself to discover, ad vance, or enforce a single point made by the reviewer. If every thing said in the Quarterly be so excellent end so true, how can our Contemporary account for having been so long dumb upon those various topics ? The better the Review is, the worse the Times has been ; and the more shame it ought to take to itself for its neglect or incompetence.—Morning Chronicle. A night or two ago our esteemed Contemporary the Standard, when noticing the speculations of a weekly Radical respecting the anticipated tactics of the Con servatives in the beginning of the new Parliament, advanced a variety of views which, if we could be sure that. they will be read with as nice a discrimina tion as they are penned with, might safely be left to work out their useful purpose without any interference of ours. Viewed in the abstract, the article we allude to is in all respects unexceptionable. The Standard's vindication of the constitutional party from every im putation of factiousness in motive or in movement is both seasonable and complete. The defensive and temperate policy which it confidently ascribes to the Conservatives is every way worthy of our Contempo rary's sagacity. But in as far as the notion that no serious collision of parties is likely to occur in the com mencement of the Session may possibly be miscon strued, so as to occasion a thin and tardy attendance of Conservative Members, we feel assured that our able coadjutor (though his observations, we admit, are sufficiently guarded), will concur with us in endea vouring to avert a conting ency the calamitous conse quences o f w hi c h it migt be difficult, if not imprac , ticable, to repair. That some Hon. Gentlemen, find ing it inconvenient to conic to town before Christmas, may be too easily imposed upon by a plausible plea for absenting themselves, is, we fear, just as certain as that a loose and curso r y p erusa l of our Contemporary's remarks, joined with a deserved deference to hie autho rity, may be the means o f generating such a pl ea , even in grafters where a sense of public duty is para mount. We therefore feel hound to show by a few plain reasons, that a prompt and punctual attendance on the first (lay qf the Session is imperative upo n every Conservetlve Member. First of all, w e h ave a Ministry nominal!) , ill power, on the fairness or straia b ldfor.vardness of a hoee inev , anents, as sub ject to Papist' dictation, no reliance can Lc placed. tie hat revolutionary orders Mr. O'Connell and Lord Concurry may cmicoct for them at the Dublin meeting, " between the of October and the 6 th or November ;" or by what sudden surprise an attempt may he made to send these orders op to the Queen, with the apparent weight of Parliamentary sanction, it is beyoLd the reach of ordinary foresight MOI row THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1837. that the cases of usurpation which have happened un der the Grenville Act, should be remedied by that Act, and by no other. All criminal Acts should be tried by the laws in existence at the time they are com mitted. To try them by laws subsequently made, is to violate one of the first principles of justice. The object of the Ministerial Journals, in raising an out cry against the Grenville Act, at this particular junc ture, is obvious. They know well that extraordinary difficulties exist as to the substituting of any satisfac tory jurisdiction over election petitions, in place of that appointed by the Act in question. They think that if they can stave off, by a simulated zeal for a better system of Parliamentary judicature, the trial of the Irish election petitions in their regular course, the Ministry will have all the benefit of the unmutilated tail upon whatever divisions may take place, until the establishment of a new system, which may, possibly, not take place during the whole of the ensuing session, or even during the existence of the present Parlia ment. O'Connell's empty and absurd threats touching the alleged illegality of the Irish petition fund , an d ' the consequent prosecution of the parties subscribing by the Queen's Attorney-General, on the part of the House of Commons, we have already placed in their proper light. We have shown them to be tlie, and frantic outpouring of the agony of conscious delinque n cy desperate alarm. But these truculent threats did good service to the subscription. lii the furious attempt to fetter the expression of public feeling in this country, Englishmen recognised the domineering insolence o f . a tyrannical disposition, and a dread 9f inquiry WAWA 1 I usually accompanies a consciousness of acts that cannot bear the light. The ferocious menaces launched by the subscription-promoting agitator at the authors of the Irish election And, gave a new stimulus to that sub scription, as it might naturally be expected to do in a country the great majority of whose people have not lost their hereditary love of real liberty and respect for justice. 'What, then, was to be done by the Ministerial and O'Connellite faction to prevent the dispensation of reit justice to Ireland by such a docking of the Agi tator's " tail" as would reduce him to a situation not less ridiculous than that which, in Athenian story, has given a burlesque celebrity to the dog of _Alcibiades ? The thunder and smoke of furious intimidation not only failed to 'produce the anticipated effect, but ex cited the very opposite feeling to that which was ex pectcd. It became necessary to change the O'Con nellite tactics, and a ruse has been attempted, which, we trust, will not be more successful than the awful denunciations with which it had been preceded. To tie up the Grenville Act, to stop the whole course of justice in Parliamentary *Committees for an indefinite time, and to let loose the immutilated " tar upon the country, is the great object of the Ministerial journalr, in proposing that the jurisdiction under which election petitions are now cognizable shall be altered previously to the Irish election .cases being tried. But we trust the stratagem will not be more successful than the in timidation which so signally failed.—Morn. Among the on-English and ungentlemanlike atroci ties committed by the managers of tire civic enterta:n ment to the Queen, that of the exclusion of ladies is unquestionably the most revolting of all. When we say the exclusion cf ladies, we beg the portly dames and gentle daughters of the Common Council not to take orreocc. That they are ladies, is a thing not to be doubted for a moment. But their presence at the civic banquet to the Queen, is merely cfficial and formal. Perfectly qualified, as no doubt they are, without a single exception, to take a share in the fes tival given in honour of the Queen's accession, it is clear that they would not be there were they not wives and daughters of tocir6ers of that Common Council which has the prii ilege of disposing of the City funds. It would be an intolerable outrage to sug gest the idea of excluding them. The visit of the Qieen of England should, as no doubt it will, have the effect of gathering them together in more than ordinary force ; not a single one of them will be, or ought to be, absent upon so attractive an occa sion. It is by tilt m that the whole city contribution to the grace and splendour of the festivity will unques tionably be supplied. We could not have found in our hearts to say that a single one of the city ladies who will he present at the festival on Lord Mayor's Day, could have been absent without dimming the lustre of the entertainment. But they might havepeen present, and ladies of birth and rank, in addition to the State attendants of the Queen, have been present too. The general character of the assembly would have been improved by the combination: The occasion is one in which it would have been right on all sides to overlook the distinctions of rank. The presence of the Queen of England might have been sufficient to obliterate for a day those distinctions, and to reduce all the female sub jects of her Majesty on this one occasion to the same level ; and it is in this point of view that anybody, but a Select Committee of the Common Council of the City of London, would have regarded the subject. It is not in this point of view, however, that they have regarded it. They have determined that the seats which are usually allotted to them, and to their wives and daughters, on Lord Mayors' feasts, should be re served to them on the present occasion. The effect of this determination Is, as we have already intimated, to exclude from the festival all ladies of rank, whether British or foreign, hut that comparatively small num ber who are to accompany officially the Queen and the other female branches of the Royal Family. It is certainly a singular illustration of the judgment and taste of the wise men of the East, that all the invitations issued by them, on the occasion of a first visit to the City of London by a youthful Queen, should have been addressed to gentlemen. The occasion was one upon which it might have been thought reasonable and courteous, and probably would have been thought so by any person not. being a Member of the Common Council of the City of London, to collect around the board at which the youthful Queen was to be entertained the most dis tinguished women of England.. The propriety and good sense of this course could not have failed to take possession of every mind but such as are peculiarly qualified to shine in the Common Council. But the scats of the Members of the Common Council,. as well as those of their wives and daughters, must be secured; and hence it is that the Queen of England is to take her place at a board from which the female nobility of England are excluded. It would have been in excellent taste that at this city banquet to the Queen there should have been present, in addition to the wives and daughters of the Common Council, a tolerable sprinkling of the female nobility of England, together with the more distinguished foreign ladies now resident in this country. There might, and, upon this particular oc casion, there ought to have been, exhibited a scene of Fairy Land—a living picture of the creations of Commonromance. () B o nt : t h h o e a n n IV. F i i sr Deputy os ,ios instea d Wiggins, a do f and Mr. reposing upon their chains, and enjoying the good things of the world, must have been content to walk about the ave nues formed by the tables, with a wand in his hand, to see that every thing went right, and that the guests were well attended to. This would not do for the gentlemen of the Comm on Council. 'they f understand too well the sub s t ant i a l realities of life to give up their seats at a dinner. Very loyal no doubt they are, for have they not invited her Majesty to a banquet ? But when it is suggested th at t h ey should have given up their scats, in order that her Ma jesty should be surrounded by at least a few ladies of suitable birth and breeding, in addition to th a o g s o e o i d n im mediate attendance upon her person, th e i r l oya l ty takes fiight ; it cannot sustain competition w i th din ner, and every Common Councilman excla e n i n i s e r ve t , h f a o t r , however good a thing loyalty may be, a good dinner is a better. It wou ld have been impossible, we believe, any other public body than the Common Council of the on o C u i r ty o ' o r f London t c o t o t r l i e a t , e s r min accession, e h tat, at the a femalebanquet ino bilityn of Great Britain must be excluded, to make room for themselves, their wives, and their daughters. We • are happy to avail ourselves of the excellent observa tions made by a Morning Contemporary upon this sub ject. It contains a clear and candid exposition of its Morning Her a ld says-_.- preparing for true! believe N m ve erits The La t the entertainment n hz, the Queen will, in splendour, riebnesF, and artful worthy of the occasion. We allude to the male,' let of the entertainment, the supply and disposition of which is in the best possible hands, but the pei•sonne/ is quite another thing, and requires to be mere particularly noticed. Th e public have already been made aware that the l a di es o f various distinguished persons, noblemen and statesmen, l to predict. That the Conservative leaders are alike indifferent to office for its own sake, and incapable of seeking for factious opportunities to obtain it, is an opinion of the Standard's in which we fully coincide. Nay, for the present at least, it may be highly desir able, that instead of assuming the reins of Govern ment, the Conservatives should continue to act simply on the defensive, until the Whigs are made to feel that their official turpitude and self-contempt are as insup portable themselves as they are execrable and odious in the eyes of the country. But, on the other hand, as the past unscrupulousness of Lord Melbourne's Ministry affords a strong presumption, that in the absence of a sufficient Parliamentary check they will persist in pros tituting their Cabinet influence to pamper their Popish and democratic accomplices, as well as to practise upon the artless and confiding temper of her Majesty ; so it is quite clear, that if one and another of the Con servative Members remain out of town till after the holidays, their efficiency, even in a defensive point of view, will be much on a par with that of the troops who abandon the very garrison they are appointed to protect. In such circumstances, an unseasonable sus pension of party hostilities may possibly be equivalent to an irretrievable sacrifice of the national interests. Wherefore, if the Conservatives wish to prevent the enemy from stealing a march, it is their duty, not only to be upon the field, but to he always under arms and ready for battle at a moment's warning. In the second place, it ought to be steadily kept in view, that the absence of Conservative Members at the opening of the Session may produce a deceptive impression upon her Majcsy's mind, highly prejudicial to the principles of sound government. Within a day or two after the meeting cf Parliament the Address will come under discussion. That debatable matter, necessarily infer ' ing a division, especially in reference to Irish tranquil lity, will be introduced into that document, is in the highest degree probable. Suppose, then, that in conse quence of a thin attendance on the Constitutional benches, Ministers are enabled to carry their point with a large majwity, what can her Majesty conclude hut that her advisers are strong in public confidence, or else that, on Irish questions at least, the Conserva tive party have sunk to such a lukewartnness as indi cates a virtual acquiescence in Lord Melbourne's policy ? Now, an impression so conveyed to the Royal mind may, by possibility, be productive of incalculable mischief. By what particular inadvertency her Majesty, under bad advice, might show that confidence in the Whigs which would thus be generated by Conservative supineness, it is not for us to say. But that great practical obstacles would thereby be interposed to the formation and :uccess of a constitutional Governni:eit, when subsequently rendered indispensable, is what every shrewd observer can readily anticipate. - And this will appear stil more distinctly, by considering, in the th:rd place, the probable effect of a thin Con servative attendance on the relative strength of par ties in the new Parliament. We have a strong con viction, foueded upon tolerably good data, that the number of zeaveretei on both :ides will likely be greater just now tluin on any previom occasion. The politics of these men are wa tine, to be determined by a divi sional dmiorstration. On their first vote will probably depend the entire complexion of their future procedure ; and as that rot will, almost ctr.ainly, be withheld from the pal) , who , e apparent wealmess may afford the slendere'st poinise of official He, no man can doubt that a miserable muster of the Conservatives may oc casion as many &:,;;:rLions among their understood ad herents as it may prevcnt accessions from the nominal ranks of their opponents. A dilatory attendance may, therefore, neutraliz., or forfeit all the numerical ad vantages which - we gained at the lite elections. On these, 2.;.d v,:licins other grounds that might be ad duced; we do, therefore, most earnestly deprecate any. Conservative absenting h f imselfrom Parliament Gil after the holiday , . This is not a time when a friend of Liib country can JF.rd to act, or rather to sleep, upon a mere fancied security. The crisis demands every man to be at his post ; and according, we fervently trust that when the drum is beat not a single de faulter w.ll be found.—Times. Amongst the numerous Reform demonstrations re cently made in different parts of the country, the pro ceedinri,s at the dinncr mven at Bodmin to Sir W. Tre lawny and. Sir W. Molesworth, by the Reformers of Cornwall, afford most cheering evidence of the country being ready to respond to any appeal which may be made to it in reference to those great questions of improvement so essential to its prosperity and peace. The speeches made on the occasion were of the most energetic and exciting character, well calculated to arouse the Reformers to that active and organized exertion which the necessities of the times require from them. One fact stated by Sir W. Molesworth, though already more than once before our readers, in dicates so strongly the dangrrs to which the country is exposed, that it cannot be too often reiterated in the ears of Reformers ; it is—that in the last elections, of twenty-five English counties, wherein a contest took place, the Liberals lost twenty-three : an evidence in disputable that with a little more activity in the Regis tration Courts, and a little more intimidation and bribery in the Polling-booths, the counties of England will become as pliable in the hands of a tyrant Tory Aristocracy as were ever the worst of the rotten boroughs. This is a fact in itself sufficient to excite the serious apprehension of Reformers, and to stimu late all genuine friends of representative Government t ) rescue the representation from the unholy grasp which has been laid upon it. Tyranny is never more dreadful alid dangerous than when it clothes itself in the guise of popular authority ; and such is the thraldom which at present enslaves the greater part of the electors in the • English counties. Under such cir cumstances, with the so-called representation so fla grantly at variance with the sentiments of those said to be represented, to congratulate, as the Tories deligli tto do, the county electors on their independence, is merely to insult and mock them in their degradation. The majo rity of county Representatives are chosen by the Aris tocracy, not by the electors. Give the electors a fair op portunity of voting according to their individual inclina fion—give them the protection of the Ballot—and the fraud and imposture of the present state of the repre sentation will be speedily exposed. Two points on which hinge the stability of the Ministry and the success of the approaching session were impressively dwelt upon by dEerent speakers. They consisted briefly of advice to the Government and to the people ; the one was urged to pursue a decisive and bold po licy, without stopping to conciliate or soothe Tory prejudices ; the other were appealed to, by their hopes of effecting the intentions of a free and repre sentative Government, to combine and exert them selves for the promotion and protection of their own interests. However ingenious the speculations which may be formed on the , probable course of events in tbe coming session, it is in these two points will be found the clue to their solution. On the decision and bold ness of the Government depends the stability Of Mi nisters—on the exertions of the people the success of Reform.— Morning Advertiser. Ever since the friends and supporters of " freedom of election" in England had resolved that a fund should be established for the purpose of procuring " justice to Ireland," in reference to the late elections in that country, which exhibited more glaring viola tions of electoral rights than, perhaps, had ever before been witnessed, the Ministerial Journals, fearing the result of a searching judicial inquiry, have been ex ceedingly anxious to persuade the public that. Election Committees are not proper and efficient tribunals for adjudicating on such questions. Undoubtedly, the de cisions of such Committees as those that whitewashed the " Carlow job," and refused to bear evidence of general bribery and corruption in the case of Falmouth and Pcnrhyn, were not calculated to rai:,e the character of the tribunals which, under the existing law, are ap pointed to try the merit,: of election petitions. But as the establishing a purer and better system of judica ture, if at all practicable, must be a work of time arid difficulty, the British public must not allow their at tention to he diverted iron) the outrageous violations of law and justice connnived at a large proportion of the elections, by an attempt to run down the Grenville Act at the moment when the usurpation practised at those elections must be re tilled by its means, or not et all. We were never friendly t o the principle of ex post facto le7islation, and we are mot disposed to advocate it now. ‘ - liatever mode of vii tlicating electoral rights and correcting returns unduly obtained by means of force or fraud may be hereafto; adopted, it is quite certain who arc to be guests at this regal-civic banquet have not been invited. It is asked why this apparent want of gal lantry in the civic body ; and, indeed, of that proper manly feeling which is inseparable from a due respect for the fair sex ? The reason given is, that there is not room to ac commodate them. We are told, indeed, that the ladies of the Aldermen and Common Councilmen will, according to a custom never departed from, take their seats in the Hall. The same authority states, We believe, too, that a few other ladies will be among the guests, although it is perfectly true that no invitations have been sent to the ladies of Foreign Ambassadors, or of the Noblemen who are to have the honour of being present at the en tertainment.' When we read such a statement as this, put forth by an avowed apologist for the Cor poration, we blush for the politeness and chivalry of the citizens of London in the nineteenth century. What ! shall it be said in foreign countries that the ladies of Ambassadors and other distinguished personages were excluded from a festive scene which their presence would have so highly graced and ornamented, on the alleged plea of want of room, while the members of the Common Council take their seats at the tables, and generously bestow their hospitality on themselves ? Would it, we ask, be deroga tory to them to be present as stewards, instead of occupy ing seats at the tables, to the exclusion of the ladies of their distinguished guests? On the contrary, it would be :creditable to them, in more than one respect, to attend in • the capacity of stewards upon their illustrious visitors, thus making room for a number of ladies—some of them strangers in England—all of them such as would heighten the attractions of a banquet given in honour of a maiden Queen. By acting the part which we suggest the Common Councilmen would remove the objection as to *ant of room, and evince their politeness and gallantry in a way that would be creditable to the national character. We con fess we arc anxious that our character as Englishmen should not suffer at this banquet by any exhibition of that gross selfishness which would mak e th e mem b ers o f th e civic body study their own personal gratification to the ex clusion of the greatest charm of the hospitable board—the fair sex."—Morniny Post.

The average price of AluseovadJ Sucrar from the returns. made in the week ending, the 31st of Oct., 11337, is 375. 4d. per Cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable on the Importa tion thereof into Great Britain. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the New London Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR.—In the early part of the week the increased defi ciency in the comparative stocks of British Plantation caused the buyers to come forward and purchase very freely, particu larly the grocers, and the private purchases on Tuesday amounted to fully 1,100 hhds. and trs., at 6d. a Is. advance on previous rates, besides 120 hhds. Barbadoes at auction, which sold with much spirit at the improvement ; fine yellow at 665. a 675. 6d. ; good, 645. 6d. a 655. ; middling, 625. 6d. a 635. Gd. ; since then there has bee❑ rather less business doing, owing to the importers demanding a further udvance ; still there has been a very fair demand for both refining and grocery descriptions, and the advance established on the rates of this day week is fully is. per cwt. Dry brown is not to be purchased now under 575. a 585., low and middling yellow 595. a 635., good 645. a 655., and fine G6s. a 695., even at which rates several of the holders are unwilling sellers ; and when it is considered that the stock is 14,100 hhds. and trs. less than on the 31st October, 1836, and nearly to the same extent when compared to the year before, and that the impor tation to the same period differs from last year by 8,100 casks, but from the year 1835 to a much larger amount, and that the consumption this year has exceeded that of last by 14,400 casks (to this added the considerable deficiency which is known to exist in the stocks at the outports), it cannot be matter of surprise that our market is still in a buoyant state. Sincathis day week only 371 hhds. have arrived. This afternoon there was more disposition evinced to pur chase than on the previous day, but the increasing demands of the importers still check business ; however, there was an improved request, and a very good business done in grocery and refining descriptions, and rather higher prices were ob tained, making the advance on the rates of this day week Is. 6d. per cwt., sales of strong brown St. Vinccnts at 60s. The purchases for the week have been 2,900 hhds. and trs. 120 hhds. Barbadoes are advertized for auction next Tuesday. In the Refined Sugar Market much activity has prevailed this week, and prices of all descriptions have improved Is. per cwt. ; goods continue exceedingly scarce, particularly those passing the standard ; the grocers have purchased with much eagerness of both ord arid good descriptions, paying 765. for Lumps passing, and 775. for those rather under the standard; from the shippers the enquiries have been considerable, but the scanty supply of goods ready for immediate delivery has much checked the demand ; sales of double Crushed made at 365., at which it is now difficult to purchase, 365. 64. being gene rally demanded. Treacle continues to sell readily at fully previous rates. Bastards and Pieces have been in active de mand at fully former prices. For Dutch Crushed Sugar a further advance is required, and 335. 6d. must now be paid to purchase. • MArlamus.—There has been a considerable improvement in the demand, and the transactions have been very extensive, particularly in the good grocery descriptions; the buyers have purchased freely by private contract, paying an advance on the rates established at the last public sale of Is. to Is. 6d., and at which rise 8,557 bags at auction, imported in May last year, and chiefly of good bright qualities suitable for the scale, were all disposed of with much avidity, low brown at 525., good brown 575. 63., fine 60s. 6J., mid. yellow 61s. 63., good mid. 625. 6d. to 635., good to fine 645. 6d. to 655. 6d , very fine 675. to 685., and superior white 695. 6d., good grey 645. ; the stock is now 16,700 bags greater than it was last year; the im portation this season has exceeded that of 1836 by 24,000 bags ; no arrivals since last week. EAST INDIA.—For Bengal an advance of Is has been ob tained, and privately there has been a good demand for linnic consumption, but for shipping there are still no orders : 01 bags at public sale duty paid went at 63a. for low white, 665. to 675. 6d. for mid., and 70s. for fine with strength ; the im portatiosn this year exceeds that of last by 25,800 bags, but there is a deficiency in the stock, when compared with that of 1830, of 6,700 bags ; in Manilla there has been nothing doing, the present small stock being held above its value; and for Siam rather higher prices being demanded, business has been prevented. This afternoon 517 bags Manilla and 180 casks Siam were offered at auction, which went at very stiff prices, the former fine brown at I9s. Gd., and the latter at 12s. 6d. to Isi. for very ord. soft dabs. FoaEloN.—There are very few orders, the transactions are only 200 boxes yellow Havannah at 275. a 28s. for good and line, and a floating cargo of 670 boxes good for. Antwerp at 235. ; for white there is no demand for Russia, the shipping season being at end, but the stock here being small, fully framer rates are demanded ; Brazil of all kinds being scarce ai.e held firmly for tha rates previously establithed ; 100 chests and 500 barrels are announced for auction on Tuesday next ; the stock of all descriptions under this denomination is greatly under that of last year; from the Brazils a half less has been received this year than last, but of Havannah the imports ex ceed those of last season by 3,000 boxes. This afternoon at auction 376 boxes white, and 43 boxes yellow Havannah, all damaged, were offered, and went at full prices, the former at 325. to 365. for low and good, and the latter at 255. to 265. for good quality. MOLASSES.—AII that have been offered for sale of West India, amounting to 300 puns. Demerara and 100 puns. St. Kitt's, have been eagerly taken at fully previous rates, the torrner at 345. 63. a 355. for fine, the latter at 345. for good quality ; there are further buyers at these prices, but at pre sent there is none on the market ; some. arrivals are shortly expected. _ _ _ Rugg.-Of Jamaica the sales are only one hundred pun cheons at unvaried prices; thirty per cent. over proof at 4s. to 4s. 2d., 31 to 35 over 41. 3d. to 4s. sd. and in Leewards the transactions have been only 150 puns. at fully previous prices, 5 to 7 pe" cent. over p. oof at 2s. 64.:0 2s. 7d.., 8 to 10 over 23. 8.. t. to 2s. 9d., 30 to 34 over 3s. Bd. to 3s. 10c1., and 100 puns. Bahia 19 under proof at Is. 9d. COFFEE.-The demand for British Plantation has much increased, particularly for the ord. descriptions, the stocks in second hands being light having compelled the town grocers to come forward and purchase freely ; the orders from the country have also been pretty numerous, and an advance on last week's prices of 3s. to 4s. has been established for ord., and Is. Gd. to 2s. for good qualities, at which improvement the pub lic sales, consisting of 218 casks 15 bris., were all disposed of with much avidity ; Jamaica fine mid. at 1195., good mid. 1 1 ls. to Ills. 6d., low mid. and mid. 995. to 1045., (rood to fine fine ord. 755. to 96.3. ; B2rbice low mid. 965. to 985., fine ord. 80s. to 85s. ; for auction on Wednesday next 113 casks 11 brls. are adver tised ; the stock is now nearly on a par with that of last year ; the arrivals have been 300 barrels and bags less, and the de liveries for consumption are much tho same as in 1836 to this period. The East India descriptions with certificate have participated in the briskness with British Plantation, and the demand from the grocers privately for Ceylon has been ex tensive, chiefly for the low ord. descriptions, and an advance on previous prices of Bs. to 4s. has been readily obtained ; 68s. has been paid for qualities which were worth 645. only a fort night back, and 675. has been refused for a pile which on the 24th ult. was disposed of at 635. Gd ; sales of fair and good ordinary have been made at 70s. to 725. ; there have been no public sales, and only one h un d re d an d fifty-three bags are advertised ; 1,9C0 bags have arrived this week ; the importation this year has exceeded that of last by 16,500 bags; for home consumption 12,000 bags more have been taken than in 1836, but there is a falling off in the delivery for export of 6,200 bags, and the stock is 6,800 bags greater than it was at the corresponding period of 1836 ; the ord. descriptions of Mocha have been in improved demand for home consumption, and 2,046 small baskets at auction went with spirit full 4s. to ss. above the recent transactions for similar quality, ord. poddy ungarbled selling at 60s. 6d. to 655. ; the import and stock are one half less than they were last year at this period, but the deliveries are 5,400 bales less than in 1836 • the enquiry for export has been confined to Sumatra, of which there is none at market ; Ceylon and Semarang are held for fully previous rates; the stock is very light, and the impor tation falls far short of that of last year. The demand for the ord. qualities of Foreign has again been very mo derate, but there is no disposition evinced on the part of holders to submit to lower prices ; the coloury qualities of St. Domingo and Brazil have been much inquired after, but the supply being very moderate, transactions to any extent have been prevented, and only a few small parcels of the former have been disposed of at 41s. to 41s. 61 for good ord. coloury ; the importation this year is 560 bags, &c. under that of last, and the stock is rather less than it was at this period in 1836 ; the deliveries have fallen off 14,500 bags. This afternoon there were no public sales of any kind; pri vately there was a very steady business doing in British Plan tation and Ceylon at fully the rates previously established, at which in some instances there are no sellers. Cocoa.-There has been an increased disposition evinced to purchase British Plantation, and a very good business has been transacted at a further improvement in prices of 35. to 4s. ; 252 bags Trinidad at auction sold with much animation, fair and good grey at 45s to 503. 6d. ; for public sale on Wed nesday 190 barrels are advertised. Of Foreign there is still no supply. COTTON. -The market for East India has again been very inactive, both shippers and the home consumers continuing to purchase with much reluctance, but under last week's prices there are not sellers, and in some instances stiffer rates are de. manded ; the accounts from Liverpool being of a very favour able character causes holders here to have more confidence in the article : the purchases since last Friday have been only 900 bales Surat aid. a 4d., 220 Madras 4id. Ott.s.-The market for the common descriptions of Fish Oils has been very uninteresting Cod and Pale Seal at 49/. to 501., and Southern at 38/. to 41/. as to quality.

The Prince expressed no small surprise at this, and signified his wish that the Priest could poia duce a proof of it. The Priest undertook the affair, a u r wrote to Lady Traquair, a R oman C at h o li c P e eress c t , Scotland, requesting her to apply to Mr. Anstruther , Spcncerfi,•ld, (now the Commissary) to make diligent search t in the Herald's or Lyon's Office of Scotl an d, for a proof 01 a marriage between the Godovs and a female of the Buch up , family.
