SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The rage of the Tories at the result of the Irish elections is not provoked by the decisive majority which is now secured in favour of - the Queen's Go vernment. It is by the character and quality of the additions to the representation of Ireland that the fer ment :of rancour and despair has been raised, which for some days has been boiling over in the Tory press of London. It was said of Cobbett that much of his power as a writer arose from his determined and perse vering repetition of the same dogmas, stated over and over again with a pertinacity and bold defiance of refu tation that impressed upon the reader a notion of the writer's conviction, and tempted him to receive as tru isms what were unfolded with an earnestness appear ing to warrant sincerity. The whole efficacy of the Tory press seems to consist in that part of their tac tics in which they copy Cobbett. They ring changes upon the same bells, until the ear, at first stunned by the recurrence of unvirying sounds, becomes at last so full of then as to retain a sense of the noise with out needing new impressions. From the accession of the present Ministry the scribes of their enemies hare plied the same topic with a perseverance which, while it sick ened some, made others so habituated to the daily fiction as almost to believe as true what was said so often and so boldly. O'Connell has been the ogre, and Ireland the enchanted castle ; and the Ministry are ever the spell-bound victims of the arch-enchanter. They found that this game was, to a certain extent, successful in a certain quarter, during the late reign. They are playing the same game with hopes of a similar result in the present. But they forget, not only that they have, thank heaven ! far different mate rials to work on now, but that the late Irish elections have utterly extinguished even the appearances from which these audacious libels drew their daily food. They know full well that the character of the new portion of the Irish representation, once ascertained and understood, must put to flight for ever all their splendid theories about the sinister influence of O'Con nell, and the conspiracy of priests and demagogues against the institutions of the British empire. They dare not analyze that representation. They fear to gaze upon it ; they shrink from speaking of it in detail. And they resort to the old system of plain, point blank, unblushing, unreasoning, unmeasured false hood—yes, falsehood, repeated, reiterated—now in the form of simple statement, now in that of sly inuendo—anon in some valorous assump tion (as if of something too clear for the proof of which it is not susceptible), and then again in the empty thunders of rapid declamation ; falsehood in every shape, from the lightest sarcasm to the most ponderous and lumb , ling invective, composes still the materiel of Tory warfare. Accordingly, they go the whole bog ; they describe the entire majority of Irish representatives as the nominees of Mr. O'Con nell. We beg pardon ; there is now a new element of mischief. The present Irish representation (such of it as is not Tory) is the work of some wide-stretched conspiracy spread throlL,ll the whole island, and corn posed of a set of Lisp rapparees, called " Ribbon men This is the last ne,v discovery of the Tories, as a hypothesis for accounting f'or their utter disconi liture in Irelaerd. Lord Brallilzou is returned to Par liament as the tool of O'Connell and the Ribbonmen in the metropolitan connty, under the nose of Lord `,lnlL!rave, Sir Edward Biakenev, and Colonel Shaw Kennedy, Ivith some 30,000 men under their orders. Mr. O'Calla! , lian, the son of one of the largest resident landed proprietors in Ireland (Lord Lis more), procures at Dungarvon, a thriving town in the county of Waterford, a singular combi na:ion of the Rihbonmen, the Duke of Devon shire, and Mr. O'C.).inell, to return a scion of tire Irish aristocracy to tire British. Senate. Mr. 11,,samish, in the great and populous city of Cork, is unable to prevent a similar atrocious conspiracy of the merchants, traders, and householders, leagued with a gang of Rilobontnen, or rather twiner themselves hurmei:.of the most occult and dangerous kind—from forein! , him into the House of Commons. As for Lord Belfast and Mr. Gibson, the prevalence of Rib bonism in pushing these obscure and unknown men into Parliament—and this, too, working so baleful a result in the Protestant capital of the Protestant north of Ireland—is one of the worst features in the present condition of that unhappy island. And as for the two Messrs. White, it is quite clear that their return must have been the result of a most ferocious outbreak of Ribbonism ; for how else could two brothers—and -such brothers--have been selected to represent the county of Longford ? One of the most glaring in stances of this pestilence, has been the return of Mr. Fitzpatrick in the Queen's County. It is quite impossible that anything less potently diabolical than this treasonable conspiracy, could have achieved such a result—and even that would not have been successful if the traitors had not initiated into their infernal mysteries some of the chief pro prietors of land in that fertile and flourishing country --the Ladies Fitzpatrick, whose sex, Sir Henry Par nell, whose absence, and the Marquis of Lansdowne, whose high station in the councils of his Sovereign, have not made them proof against the seductive blan dishments of this rabble association. Some people may be surprised that Mr. Curry, the highly respected and able Barrister, the nephew of Mr. Leonard Dob bin (a cautious and wealthy man), and who is himself reputed to be a person of considerable property and some knowledge of life, should have entered into a league with a gang of traitors, who, though unheard, unseen, and unknown, have parcelled out among their favourites the Irish representation. But so it is. Under the very gates of the archiepiscopal Palace of the Primate of all Ireland, at Armagh, the Ribbonmen held their dreadful orgies ; and, drinking a bowl of human gore, registered a vow, which they subsequently fulfilled with " desperate fidelity," to make (portentous selection !) a Presbyterian Queen's Counsel Member for that fallen borough! 'With respect to Sir W. Somerville, he should be at once attainted, and his fifteen thousand a-year should be forfeited to form a fund for the extinc tion of Ribbonism ; for he is shrewdly suspected of having become a member of the confederacy on the ex press condition that he should without a contest be re turned member for Drogheda. Mr. Ashton Yates, and Mr. Maule, the eminent English barrister (one a Member for the county, the other the Member for the borough of Carlow), are understood to have given in their adhesion to Ribbonism upon the extraordinary terms of remaining Englishmen, Protestants, and Unionists, until the expiration or dissolution of the present Parliament, and of being then at liberty (if they can effect such a transformation) to become, not only Papists and Repealers, but also Irishmen, and to remain so for the remainder of their lives. But the most puzzling, and at the same time the most masterly exploit of the Ribbonmen, has been accomplished in the ease of Mr. Howard, now Member for Youghal. Not only did they persuade that young gentleman to join them, but they actually succeeded in enlist ing into their ranks his youthful bride, and her near relative, Colonel Cavendish, a Member of the Household of our gracious Sovereign ; and having taken off the bride and the bridegroom, and con fined them together (the wretches were merciful enough not to separate the wedded pair in their happy honey moon) for three long weeks in the custody of Colonel Curry, auditor of the Duke of Devonshire, in his Grace's Castle of Lismore, they effected a truce with so large a number of the Protestant Corporators of Youghal, that Mr. Howard is now the representative of that loyal borough. Astonishing and appalling achievement ! Daring and too successful a union of force and diplomacy ! Considering that Mr. Howard is a near relative of Lord Morpeth, no one can be sur prised at the very general sanction which the public have given to the project, recently promulgated, of a Parliamentary impeachment of his Lordship, in the first week of the ensuing session. Singular it is, and one of the most remarkable events of the times, that all these men, thus selected by a horde of ruffians, whose aim is first to pull down the Church, then to repeal the Union, and, lastly, to level all property, should b_e Pro testants, enjoying or inheriting, collectively, vast wealth, and should also be known supporters of the Union. There are but two modes of accounting is this ap parent anomaly. The Ribbonmen, it s true, are aware that there is a probability of a long Parliament. But then, either they haVe made sincere converts of these men, or else they artfully cloake their nefarious designs by doing the very opposite of that which, in THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1837 foisted into the representative trust. For two Sessions have measures most essential to the national welfare been defeated by faction and intrigue—and when an opportunity offered to give effective expression to the indignation naturally excited by such outrage against the general sentiment, public opinion has been to a great extent suppressed by practices the most disgrace ful that ever flung infamy on the records of a general election. Will the Tories dare to repeat the outrage which the people in the forbearance incidental to the consciousness of superior power have twice suffered to pass with impunity ? With all their vauntings and all the grandiloquent threats of resisting Reform, or " dying in the last ditch of the Constitution," so copiously poured forth with the after-dinner libations during the heat of the debates in the last Session, we believe the Tories to possess more of that better part of valour called discre tion, than to persist in such attempt when they find a serious and determined manifestation to coerce their compliance. The Duke of Wellington, on the eve of the last dissolution of Parliament, expressed his anxiety to see the disputed questions set at rest, and avowed his willingness to assist in the establishment of Municipal Reform in Ireland on the elective principle. The Noble Duke is not a man to give way while there remains a fair chance of successful resistance. We may, therefore, consider this avowal as a pro tanto con cession to the claims of the " aliens.' The Tories are, in fact, like persons in a besieged town, who, finding surrender inevitable, make a great display of strength in which they have themselves no confidence, merely to exact the most favourable terms from their conquerors; but the Reformers are in a position to dictate their own terms, and the nation will accept of no undue compromise. It is, therefore, the best po licy of Ministers—as we are assured it is their incli nation—to advance once more to the breach with the just claims of an oppressed people in one hand, the po pular power in the other s and insist upon an uncondi tional surrender.—Motizing Advertiser. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has availed him self of an opportunity afforded by some remarks of a Dublin paper, the Evening Post, upon the late Kerry election, to explain how much he is the friend of free dotn of election. The following is the letter of the Right Hon. Gentleman to the editor of the paper •we have mentioned : " London, August 17. " Sir—ln an extract of a private letter inserted in your paper of the 15th I find the following statement What think you of the voters on the estate of the Chancellor of the Exchequer having, almost to a man, polled for the Tory ?' And again :—"l'hus Spring Rice's estate has bean made ancillary to a Tory triumph.' . . " In order to remove any misconception which this com munication might produce, it is due to myself to state that whilst I have not felt myself precluded from informing those who were connectettwith.me as tenants what were my o.vn political feelings and wishes, I have, at the same time, most strictly and scrupulously abstained from any attempt . controul or authoritative interference to fetter their free will in the exercise of their franchise. With what consistency could any person contend for the principle of freedom of el:ctioo, and yet endeavour to coerce the votes of those who might he considered as &pendent upon him ? The letter which I wrote to my agent on the 23d of July was to the following effect I wish you would be so good as to ex plain to my tenants that whilst I should be far from em plo)ing any the very least authority, my strongest wishes are in favour of the lute sitting Membors, end I shall feel gratified if any one connected with my estate will give them support.' In repexing this communication on the 29th, I again added—' In giving this opinion to my tenants I never will use any control over the votes of those who may be de pendent on me.' " I have given this explanation lest it should be inferred that I could be indifferent to the success of candidates who stand upon principles avowedly Liberal. But, however false and unjust such a supposition would be, I should in finitely prof::- it to the more serious charge of having, in any instance, endeavoured to interfere with the free exer cise of an elector's vote, and of having thus acted on a principle myself which I have complained of and condemned when adopted by my political opponents. " I ani, Sir, your very faithful, &e. T. SPRING RICE." All that c?.n be collected from the above letter is what we knew perfectly well already, viz., that the present Chancellor of the Exchequer is a marvellously civil spoken person, something of a Jesuit withal, and quite as fond as other people of exercising all the authority that his possessions place in his hands. The Irish landlord who writes .to the agent on his estate, request ing him to inform the tenantry " that his (the land lord's) strongest wishes are in favour of the late sitting Members, and that he will feel gratified if any one con nected with his estate will give them support ;" and n ho, not content with one communication of this na ture, shows his zeal in the cause of " the late sitting Members" by repeating the same intimation to his agent, after an interval of only six clays, is not very consistent, and he can hardly expect to be deemed very sincere when he adds, " In giving this opinion to my tenants I never will use any controul over the votes of those who may be dependent on me." We confess, however, that as a matter of taste, we like Mr. Spring Rice's mode of coercion better than the rougher and more direct methods resorted to unsparingly by such of his colleagues and political friends as possess landed estates in Ireland. It is more decorous andgentleman like to administer a hint than to fulminate a menace ; and as; in the case of Mr. Spring Rice's tenants, the former style of canvassing was sure to be equally effica cious with the latter, nothing could have been more in judicious than for the Right Hon. Gentleman to throw away so advantageous an opportunity of being genteel, considerate, kind, liberal, and all that sort of thing. The Dublin Evening Post had, it seems, asserted, on the authority of a private letter, and Mr. Spring Rice, in the communication to that paper, in . which he extols his own magnanimity as a landlord, does not contradict the statement, that the voters on the estate of the Chancellor of the Exchequer had almost to a man voted for the " Tory." Whether the assertion of the Dublin Evening Post's cor respondent be true or false, is a question i❑ which we feel but little interest. If false, it only shows that Mr. Spring Rice is not regarded in Ireland as a man upon whom any party can depend ; and if true, it is conclusive evidence, _when taken in conjunction with that Right Hon. Gentleman's antecedent expression of his " strongest wishes in favour of the late sitting Members," that his tenantry are wiser and better men than himself, and that they are not conscious of any debt of gratitude or affection to their landlord, which ought in the slightest degree to interfere with the free exercise at an election of their private judgment with respect to the pretensions of the rival candidates. Upon the whole, we are not of opinion that Mr. Spring Rice has gained anything by this correspondence with the Dublin Paper, although his letter is drawn up with considerable dexterity, and is full of the stuff best calculated to procure the instant applause of the news papers in the interest of his faction.----Morning Post. The following gratifying and singular incident took place on Monday in the Strand. A poor woman, once in better circumstances, named Althorpe, who had long endea voured to earn a miserable subsistence by selling fruit in the streets, and whom time and age had rendered blind, was accosted by a genteel-looking young man, with a request for some fruit. The little girl who officiated at the stall, in consequence of the old woman's malady, gave him the quantity he desired, when the woman, appar en tl y recog nising the tones of his voice, desired him to approach. She inquired after his mother ; was she living ? He did not know, having been in Spain for many years in the army, but when he had called at . her former ap ar t ments he ha d learned that she had ex'perie9eed a series of vicissitudes, and was very poor. He had since understo o d th at s h e was wandering about the streets in a state of utter destitution. " Do you wish to see her ?" exclaimed the woman almost breathless with anxiety. An affirmative was given, and the anxious patent, for so indeed she turned out to be, hastily threw her arms round her son's neck, her hands swiftly passed over his features to establish his identity, an d th e crowd, who had witnessed the transaction with feelings of the utmost interest and commiseration, giving way to the unexpected relations, they entered a hackn e y coac h an d drove off, over fl ow i ng with tears of joy and gratitude. On Wednesday last, Thomas Penny, of Wrineton, for a bet of half a sovereign, undertook to reap one acre . of wheat and to bind the sheaves in the space of 15 hours, to commence at half-past five A.m., and to finish at half-past eight P. M. Between four and five in the afternoon he was retarde 1 in the operation of his arduous task by a heavy shower of rain, the proprietor of the wheat being unwilling to have the sheav( s tied in the wet. After a delay of two hours he strenuously resumed, and at five minutes within the limited time he had completed the reaping and binding, one acre and three perches, thus having won the bet in 12 hours and 55 minutes.—Bath Herald. any ordinary estimate of human motives, they could be supposed likely to do. They fill the House of Com mons with men who have been ever the determined enemies of their supposed projects—with men prompted by every motive of honour, of consistency, of duty, of habit, and of interest to oppose such projects and put down their promoters ; and they do all this in the hope that Ribbonism, thriving without advocates and against enemies multiplied by the efforts of its own Members, may husband its fuel for the flames of ge nerations yet unborn. Philanthropic conspirators ! generous, self-devoted enthusiasts !—you little know what is in store for you I You shall be caught in your own toils. The. very fact of having returned a majority of men of rank, and wealth, and intelligence, and station—firm Protestants, sincere Unionists—to Parliament, shall be made the foundation of a Parlia mentary impeachment against Lord Mulgrave, Lord Morpeth, and Mr. Drummond, and upon the inquiry consequent on that impeachment, we shall have dis closed such scenes as no one ever dreamed of until now i Does the reader think that we arc laughing at him ? No, no. Let him but spell the Standard of the last week, and he will find—not evidence of any writer's credulity—but proof that scribes are to be found in this country who pretend to believe in the existence of credulity so capacious in their readers, that no food is of a quality and magnitude too gross for them to swallow.—Morning Chronicle. When general assertions are made on one side of a question, and contradictions as general opposed on the ether, those disputants who trust not in the trial by wager are wont to propose the more logical test of a specific instance. Wherefore, though not unamused by the vague and droll gravity with which the friends of the Government assure us that the recent elections have not only made no abatement in its strength, hut have actually left it even stronger than before, we will take the liberty of putting the case, that a couple of divisions be taken in the approaching Ses sion upon two principal questions of the Ministerial policy, one Irish and one English—the Tithe Appro priation and the Church-rate Abolition. In the last division upon Irish Tithe (which was on the 4th of July in last year) the Ministers mustered 318, and the Conservatives 292, so that Ministers had a majority of 26. By the recent e'ectious (after deducting from the Conservative gain of 24 in Great Britain, the nine scats which in Ireland have been transferred to the Destruc tives) we shall find the total gain of the Conservatives to be 15 seats. Now, how is this to work in the next division ? Why, it takes 15 votes from the majority of 318, which will then sink to 303 ; it adds 15 votes to the minority of 292, which will then rise to 307 ; and the whole division is reversed, the 'Ministers being thus no lon s er in a majority of 26, hut the Conservatives in a majority of 4. And this is the question, be it remembered, on which these Ministers came into office; their unalterable opinion having been recorded, that without an appropriation of tithe to national education, no finial and eatisfectory adjustment for Irland can be effected, and that without such final and satisfactory adjustintnt for Ireland, no Ministry ought to be tole rated in -office. Now, then, will they bring on this issue in the approaching session ? If they do not, there is an end of the sole pretext on which they were admitted to office. If they do, they are beaten on their own ground, and have no longer even the name of a majority in the House of Commons. Again, in the late division on their plan for the abolition of ' Church-rates (23:1 and 24th of May last) the Minis ters mustered 287, and the Conservatives 282 ; so that Ministers had a majority of five. In the next di vision the effect of the votes for the 15 seats trans ferred by the last elections to the Conservatives, will be to reduce the 287 of the Ministers to 272, and to raise the 282 of their opponents to 297, giving to the Conservatives a majority on the Church-rate question of 25 votes. Such are the circumstances under whichovith a grave generality, time friends of the Government assure us that the elections have left it stronger than ever. From the bass of their braggadocio, however, the Ministerialists break, ever and anon, into the treble of lamentation and fear. That they should have lost, on the whole election, fifteen seats, making the difference of thirty votes against them, where they were so sure of winning twenty-five, which would have made a dif ference of fifty in their favour i Hard fate i Harsh disappointment ! Heavy reverse ! Was it for this that in the newness of his nobility a grateful partisan subscribed his dozen of thousands for Norwich, and his handful of thousands for Norfolk—all to be beaten ? Was it for this that the officers of the Government, in so many various departments, exposed themselves, by ;heir spirited alternation of promises and threats, to be shown up, if not actually prose cuted, by the busy, impertinent Tories ? Was it for this that, neglecting those real and useful reforms by which some permanent credit might haply have been secured, they employed so many anxious even ings in working out an English Municipal Corpo ration Bill, that was to gain them fifty-seven seats, over and above that other gain which (when enacted) the Municipal Bill for Ireland was sure to yield ? Was it for this that the Bobadils of Brookes's took • the trouble to change their tone a dozen tunes in every Session—now blandly returning the Radical pat-on the-back, now gathering up the dignity of their ancestors and acres in a manifesto upon moderation, and then I once again,in the terror and frenzy of threatened expul sion, throwing temperance to the winds, and launching the desperate (the ducal ?) war cry—" Anarchy ra ther than Peel ?" Was it for this that, abandoning the principles of their better days, and deceiving and at length deceived by the open-mouthed many, they for feited the respect and alienated the support of the no bility, the clergy, the gentry, the professions and the property of the country, and left themselves at once dis4 - monoured and unpitied ? These are bitter reflec tions for a losing party ; and, as we can see no conso lation for them, we disdain to aggravate their misfor tune by pretending to suggest any. Instead of ascrib ing their defeat to a hundred causes that have nothing to do with the matter, we think it a more merciful way of dealing to be plain and tell them the truth—that they are defeated because the country is tired of them. " The fact is," said one of their confidential subalterns the other day, " the fact is, there was no subject we could raise an excitement about." There was much good sense in the reason he gave : it may be another question whether there was much good sense in his giving it. Long may his friends look in vain for such a subject of excitement. Long may Great Britain, as now, aloof from all the madness that incitement in duces, continue, by the wholesome, resolute exercise of her constitutional franchise, tranquilly and steadily to exterminate her mischiefs : and first and worst—be cause prolific of so many more—the mischief of a Whig Administration.—Times. For the next two months public interest must ne cessarily concentrate itself on the prospects of the ap proaching Session of Parliament. That Ministers will adhere to the policy to which they are indebted for the investiture of office, no doubt is to be entertained. The great question is, whether they shall be able to carry that policy into practical effect, or—as in the two previous sessions—be foiled of their liberal and patrio tic purpose by a factious and corrupt minority of the Commons, assisted by a still more factious and corrupt majority in the Lords. This is the problem which ab sorbs the interest of all minor topics of public discus sion. On one hand there is a profligate and despotic aristocracy, opposed to every improvement in our insti tutions, as an infringement on their long -enjoyed pri vileges of oppression and plunder, and supported in this opposition by the hereditary branch of the Senate, and all the natural or hireling instruments of faction, which by fair or foul, legitimate or illegitimate means, they have been able to force into the seats of popular repre sentation. On the other, is the people ; comprising the wealthy—for labour is wealth—the industrial, in telligent, and honest class of the community, with a Government formed in direct opposition to the wishes and intriaues of the former Court, but now approved and sanctioned by a Sovereign desirous of co-operating in the great and glorious work of national regeneration. These are the opposing powers, and looking dispassion ately at their relative strength, we see no cause of ap prehension as to the result. The wishes of a Sove reign, a Liberal Ministry, a majority of the House of Commons, and the great body of the people, are not to be defeated by the machinations of some two or three hundred Peers, and the minority of false and spurious representatives whom they have most unfairly PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES,&c. &c. &e. . .

( Front the London New Price Current of Tuesday.) SUGAIL-There has b:en less business doing in the British Plantation Raw Market since Tuesday last ; still there has been a steady demand, and the grocers have been the principal buyers ; the importers continue firm in their demand, and the business done has been fully at previous rates. This afternoon there was little business doing, both grocers and refiners pur chasing sparingly; the importers continue firm in their de mands, and fully Friday's prices were obtained for the 500 hhds. and trs. which were sold. There was no public sale of Barbadoes. Of refined goods the grocers have been ready buyers at fully previous rates, Lumps rather under the stan dard selling at 723. to 735., those passing at 735. 6d. to 745., fine Tittlers 81s. This afternoon there was a good disposition evinced by the grocers to purchase at fully previous prices, but there are scarcely any goods in the Market ; for shipping there are few buyers ; double Crushed is with difficulty obtained at 325. MAURITIUS.—There has been an active demand privately from both grocers and refiners, and former rates hav e been fully maintained for all descriptions._ This afternoon the de mand continued very good, and 1,614 bags at auction went readily at former prices. EAST INDIA. Bengal admissible for consumption at the low rate of duty has been in good demand by the grocers, and an •advance of 6d. to Is. has been obtained for all descriptions. FOREIGN.—The yellow descriptions of Havannah have been much inquired after, and fully former rates would have been readily paid, and in some instances rather higher prices, but owing to the holders refusing to sell excepting at is. to ls. 6d. advance has much checked the demand, and the private purchases have been only 250 boxes at 245. Gd. to 275. for low mid to good ; a bites are held for their former value, but there has been very little disposition to purchase. COFFEE.—There continues to be a good demand for the clean descriptions of British Plantation; former prices have been fully maintained, and in some instances a slight advance has been paid. Prices of Mocha continuo firm, the supply being short, and the demand for home consumption steady ; 167 bales are announced for auction on Thursday, and 300 bales for Friday ; there has been no demand for Ceylon, Su matra, and Semarang, and prices remain the same as last quoted. In Foreign there has been little done privately, but at a public sale of 4,480 bags Rio former prices were obtained, although there was considerable heaviness throughout and only about half disposed of, at very irregular prices. This after noon there were no public sales, and privately there was little doing ; prices unvaried. The accounts from the Continental Markets are still flat, the buyers waiting for the public sales declared by the Netherlands Trading Company. The total deliveries of Coffee from the warehouses for home consump tion for the week ending August 19 are 135,5851b5. of East India, and 159,6701b5. of West India. Rllll, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS.—There has been a very brisk demand for both Jamaica and Leeward Island Rum, and former rates have been readily obtained; in some cases rather stiffer prices have been paid for good strong descriptions ; the purchases have been extensive, amounting to 750 puns. The prices of Brandy continue firm, but the demand has been mo derate. For Geneva there has been a steady request at pre vious rates. Tia.—Public sales of Free Trade to the extent of 67,000 packages are announced for the 12th of next month. Therd continues to be a brisk demand for all descriptions, and profits on the last public sale of id. to Id. per lb. paid. The total deliveries of Tea from the warehouses for home consumption on which duty has been paid for the week ending August 19 are 422,782 lbs. TALLOW.—There has been a good business doing on the spot, and prices continue firm at 39e. 6d. for P. Y. Candle; for delivery several contracts have been been made at the prices quoted. The accounts from St. Petersburgh are more favourable, the sales were extensive, amounting to 6,00 0 casks, at 101 to 105 roubles; the shipments have. been 73,000 casks against 55,500 casks last year. UNCLE HORACE.—The public have been for some time impatiently expecting the appearance of this new novel from the pen of Mrs. S. C. Hall, the well-known authoress of " Sketches of Irish Character," " The Buccaneer," &°' It will certainly appear in a few days. The story is purely English, showing the great evils attending a false positioa in society. Several of the characters, we are informed, are taken from life, though all unkind constructions have beet' avoided. A young and beautiful limonadiere, of one of the most sp!endid cafes in the Rue Vivienne, committed sui cide two days ago, by throwing herself from the window of a fifth story in the house of an individual by whom she had been seduced, and almost immediately abandoned. The an fortunate victim was conveyed to the Hospital B ea ujoa , where she expired in less than four hours. STO,KESETILL PLACE; OR, THE MAN 01 BUS" NESS.—Spealcing of this admirable new novel of real life, by Mrs. Gore, a weekly critic observes that " Whatever ro mance Mrs. Gore has felt necessary to employ, she bas thrown around Barnsley's daughter, who is the heroine, and a more exquisitely drawn character could not be conceived. All that we can imagine as essential to female excellence - ' dutifulness, affection, amiability of disposition, generoao friendship, lofty principle, and devoted love—are concen trated in the person of this innocent, though deeply suffer ing, girl. Had the authoress no other claim to our & claw ration, the portraiture of this single character would cow mand it. We shall only say that we have read every page of Stokeshill Place,' with intense interest."—Sunday 71: 1 .;;; - - SECOND-HAND SILVER WATCHES' A variety of some dozens may be selected from, price Two Guinea' each ; some rather more modern, Two and a Half Guineas ea, f c b , ; and an assort men t qu it e equa l to new, Th ree G u i neas eac h . whole have been carefully examined, and are warranted.
