not give a stronger proof of the utter disregard of purely Irish affairs which pervades, and naturally pervades, society in Eng land. This is a subject exclusively Irish, and therefore public opinion is either diverted into a wrong channel or rendered powerless of protection to the unfortunate Irish people. " My determination, therefore, is to redouble my agitation on this subject. The less assistance I get from others, the more am I bound to exert myself to supply the deficiency. " I am thoroughly convinced that if this Bill passes, or any Poor-law Bill which does not put the rates on the rents and absentees, and not on the occupiers, new agrarian distur bances will disfigure and disgrace the country, and prevent our advances towards Justice from England,' or justice for ourselves. " Fellow-countrymen, I call for your aid • assist me to get ricrof the obnoxious clauses in this Bill. I respectfully en treat the Clergy of every persuasion will be pleased to ex plain the fatal effects likely to be produced by this Bill, and then I implore the people to assist me by petitions and remon strances to prevent its enactment. " I have the honour to be, Fellow-countrymen, " Your faithful servant, " DANIEL O'CONNELL." THE TRITE SUN. LONDON SATURDAY EVENING DECEMBER 23, 1837. This evening is the last on which the daily True Sun will appear. We have now for eighteen months devoted to it every energy of our minds, far more intent upon national improvement than on success in a mere commercial undertaking. We have fearlessly advo cated the interests of the whole community, as distin- guished from those of narrow sections. We have bearded the oligarchy In its strongholds, and exposed alike the open profligacy of the Tory, and the tortuous duplicity of the Whig factions. We do not affect to be insensible to the strong ap probation of our views which has been expressed by some of the highest minds of our time. We are deeply grateful to that part of the public press which has awarded to us its honest praise, and we shall re member with pride, that amongst the public and the press, it is from the intelligent we have received the most hearty support. We have neither spared our time nor our capital in the effort we have Made to establish a Daily Journal unshackled by party ties, untrammelled by the neces sity of advocating class intgests, and have made consi derable sacrifices in so doing. But we do not see a reasonable prospect of a remunerative return within such a definite period as would justify a perseverance on the part of private individuals, who value their pecuniary independence as the foundation of their political usefulness. But let it not be said we have suddenly abandoned our efforts. We have, for several months, laid before the more opulent of the Liberal party the actual posi tion of the paper. We have informed them that, after the present period, the distributive efforts of the Liberal party must be taxed to carry out to ultimate success the national object we had commenced with much pro mise, and continued so long as individual pructimee ould permit. With some generous exceptions, this met with no efficient response. We trust that the Liberal cause will not suffer from the want of a daily organ. We do not attribute our commercial failure to apathy on the part of the people. There isb scarcely a mechanics' institute, or a place where industrious and intelligent tradesmen and work ing men assemble, that the daily True Sun has vot been found. We have had perhaps a greater number of readers than any other Newspaper, hut the indus trious many who have most sympathised with us have been so borne down by low profits and scanty wages, consequences of aristocratic rule, that a daily paper is an intellectual necessity they have not the means to attain. Under these circumstances the daily True Sun has been disposed of to the proprietor of The Sun, and will henceforward be merged in that journal. And we wish and hope that the new vigout which our own circulation will infuse into our contemporary may enable him to take that independent political position which we have ourselves occupied. Let the people remember that upon the support they afford him will depend the degree of his independence. Let them remember that the labourer is worthy of his hire ; and that if they would maintain an iadepenTent press they must make strenuous efforts in aid of the journal which dares to be independent. Beyond our sincere desire that The Sun may deserve and command success, we have not the slightest interest in that journal. From some remarks which appear in anotbr part of the paper it will be seen that the True Sun Weekly Paper will still remain in our hands. tr-07- On Monday, and following days, during the week, The Sun Evening Paper will be published at our Office, as a substitute for the True Sun. The following military appointments are now va elm : A Colonelcy in the Artillery, by the death of Coloed Colby ; the post of Captain in the Royal Hospital, Dublin, by the death of Major Dawson ; and the Quartermastership of the 37th Regiment, by the death of Quartermaster Hayes. GRAVESEND, DEC. 25.—A very distressing fire broke out yesterday morning on the farm of Mr. Skinner, an eminent agriculturist at West Thurroek, in Essex, about four miles from Tilbury Fort—and nearly the whole of the home stead, including the barns and outhouses, seven large stacks of hay and corn, three calves, several pigs, &c., fell a prey to the conflagration. The horses were saved by great exertion of the farm servants ; both men and horses much scorched. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The fire was discovered about two o'clock, e.m.,_and was blazing when the steam-boats passed yesterday at mid-day. TFIE HAWICK RIOTERS.-The sentence on the • Hawick rioters is the subject of general remark by the Press of Scotland, most of whose members state their opinion that the sentence is of a severity disproportioned to the offence of which they were found guilty. The Kelso Chronicle says— " The speech of the Lord President indicates anything but an impartial spirit ; and when it is considered that the prisoners were found guilty only by a majority of tne jury, the sentences appear to us unnecessarily severe. We trust that the,steps will be immediately taken, by representations addressed to the proper quarters, for the rescinding or mitigating of the sen tences of men who were misled by outraged feelings, and how ever blameably they acted, did not do so from malice. We quite agree with Lord Cockburn in his zeal for freedom of election ; but does Isis Lordship think that freedom of election will be best obtained by the settling of 57 fictitious voters upon a small property called Dalgleish in Selkirkshire, and of 41 on Redford-green, in the same county? Are these deeds not pro vocative of indignation more than the outrages committed at Hawick, much as these 'outrages may be lamented by every lover of liberty. But, perhaps, his Lordship's views of freedom of election may not go beyond those of a Whig of 1689. NOVEL SPECIES OF INTIMIDATION.—A clergy man who happened to be a passenger in one of our mails re corded the other day the following anecdote :—A person re siding in the parish of having fallen under the ban of the Kirk Session, was duly cited before the proper tribunal, and, after admission or proof, sentenced to stand a public rebuke. The offender was a soldier, and, often as he had done parade duty in a different arena, the idea of exhibiting himself before the assembled congregation was so appalling that he secretly determined to get out of the scrape with the best grace possible. With this view he went early to church, dressed in regimentals, and carried his gun along with him, which, from the by-paths he took and the hour of the morning, he managed to secrete without observation. In due time the worshippers assembled, and after the services of the day had been ended, the soldier was called on to stand up. This summons he instantly obeyed, and by way of suiting the ac tion to the word, presented his musket at the head of the clergyman. An exhibition so novel and unexpected asto nished and petrified every spectator; the minister himself looked unutterable things, and after pausing and changing colour he timidly inquired—." What, Sir, do you mean by that ?" " Only," said the other coolly, "to show you I'm a disciplinarian as wall as yourself." This was too much ; most people thought the man mad, and as there is no saying what a madman will do, no one seemed willing to incur the responsibility of securinr , and disarming so desperate a character. In this feeling the minister sympathized, and after a little time cowered down in the pulpit, so as to be out of the reach of a weapon, which, for aught lee knew, might be charged with ball or deadly slug. The belligerent doggedly main tained his ground, and, without relaxing a muscle, kept pointing at the pulpit as unerringly as the needle points to the pole. For the space of ten minutes or so the coagregation was paralyzed ; after which the clergyman called out from the place where he had ensconced himself, " Is the fellow away ae tki " No," said the Precentor, ""he's still standing in the JAI'. t, with the gun in his hand ready to fire." Then tell 7 1 7, c ,••••'''ft!ltio* me to take himself off, and I'll forgive him this time ;" cement which elicited a general titter, during which 444::: : :e-1, -2r iii4rtpttia4at retired as proud, as he said himself, as " his ain wah when he captured the standard at Waterloo.— .40,,....' 4 V.'reDfiritiria !Courier. r ~,- ~.r: / ~ PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 26, 1837 The President of the United States' Message to Congress, delivered on the sth inst., will be found in our columns of this day. Though superabounding in words, and in details too trivial for the occasion, it is simple, explicit, straight-forward, and consistent ; and so far alike worthy of the Government and people of the United States. But unfortunately President VAN BuREN's opinions upon the currency question remain unehangcd. His hostility to National Banks is unabated, notwithstanding the fatal experience America has had of the folly of trying to establish a metallic currency. His grand scheme is " to separate the fiscal concerns of the Government from those of individuals and corporations" —the meaning of which is, that he wants to abstract the taxes from forming and• part of the productive capital of the people. He would have the taxes paid in precious metals, to be carefully locked up in the Go vernment vaults, till required to defray the charges of the Executive. Like President JACKSON, he is haunted with a dread of Bank influence, which his fears assure him must prove fatal to the hide pendeace of the Republic. This influence he ima gines kill be neutralized, if not destroyed, by keeping about forty millions of dollars of the current money of the States out of circulation He is not, however so strongly wedded to his pet plan as his dis• tinguished predecessor. He does not threaten the exercise of the Veto ; but, on the contrary, promises a qualified submission to the will of the national repre sentatives. The following extract from the Message, which embraces all that is important on the currency question, will be read with interest : I have found no reason to change my own opinion as to the expediency adopting the system proposed, being perfectly satisfied that there will be neither stability or safety, either in the fiscal affairs of the Government, or in the pecuniary trans actions of individuals and Corporations, so long as a connec tion exists between them, which, like the past, offers such strong inducements to make them the subjects of political agi tation. Indeed, I am more than ever convinced of the dan gers to which the free and unbiassed exercise of political opi nion—the only sure foundation and safeguard of Republican Government—would be exposed by any further increase of the already overgrown influence of corporate authorities. I cannot, therefore, consistently with my views of duty, advise a renewal of a connection which circumstances have dissolved. The discontinuance of the use of State Banks for fiscal pur poses ought not to be regarded as a measure of hostility towards those institutions. Banks properly established and conducted are highly useful to the business of the country, and will doubtless continue to exist in the States so long as they conform to their laws, and are found to be safe and beneficial. How they should be created, what privileges they should en joy, under what responsibility they should act, and to what restrictions they should be subject, are questions which, as I observed on a previous occasion, belong to the States to de cide. Upon their rights, or the exercise of them, the General Government can have no motive to encroach. Its duty to wards them is well performed, when it refrains from legislating for their special benefit, because such legislation would vio late the spirit of the Constitution, and be unjust to other inte rests ; when it takes no steps to impair their usefulness, but to manage its own affairs as to make it the interest of those institutions to strengthen and improve their condition for the security and welfare of the community at large. They have no right to insist on a connection with the Federal Government, nor on the use of the public money for their own benefit. The object of the measure under consideration is, to avoid for tile future a compulsory connection of this kind. It proposes to place the General Government, in regard to the essential points of the collection, safe-keeping, and transfer of the public money, in a situation which shall relieve from all dependence on the will of irresponsible individuals or corporations, to withdraw those monies from the uses of private trade, and confide them to agents constitutionally selected and controlled by law ; to abstain from improper interference with the in dustry of the people, and withhold inducements to improvi dent dealings on the part of individuals ; to give stability to the concerns of the Treasury, to preserve the measures of the Government from the unavoidable reproaches that flow from such a connection, and the banks themselves from the inju rious effects of a supposed participation in the political con flicts of the day, from which they will find it otherwise diffi cult to escape. These are my views upon this important subject—formed after caraful reflection, and with no desire but to arrive at what is most likely to promote the public interest. They are now, as they were before, submitted with unfeigned deference for the opinions of others. It is hardly to be hoped that changes so important on a subject so interesting could be made without producing a serious diversity of opinion; but so long as those conflicting views are kept above the influence of indi vidual or local interests, so long as they pursue only the ge neral good, and are discussed with moderation and candour, such diversity is a benefit, not an injury. If a majority of Congress see the public welfare in a different light, and more especially if they should be satisfied that the measure proposed would be acceptable to the people, I shall look to their wis dom to substitute such as may be more conducive to the one, and more satisfactory to the other. In any even.. they may con fidently rely on my hearty co-operation to the fullest extent, which my views of the Constitution and my sense of duty will permit. The substance of all this is, that N. VAN BUREN HE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1837. hates and fears Banks, but that he will be guided in his conduct towards them by the decision of Congress. This is the wisest course he could adopt, short of de claring himself convinced of their necessity. Most of the other subjects adverted to in the Message are of no European interest. That the Federal Government ' is at peace with all the world—that the settlement of the boundary line between the Republic and the Bri tish possessions in America is in a course of amicable adjustment—and that the cholera has long since dis appeared, are facts upon which we may well be excused writing a commentary. ante of the prelate. The Papal allocation has been received at Paris. A detailed statement of the troops of Don Carlos, is pub lished by the Ga2ette de France, which makes the effective force of his army amount to 46,432 infantry, and 2,819 • Mr. SPRING RICE'S speech at the Reform dinner given to him a day or two since at Cambridge, is to all appearance frank, off-handed, and Liberal ; but o❑ looking closely into it, we find that it is chiefly re markable for the tact and adroitness with which it evades the expression of anything definite or positive respecting the Ministerial course of policy. It luxuriates in generalities throughout. When we heard that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had quitted the snuggery of Downing-street in order to visit his con stituents at Cambridge, we confidently expected that he would have addressed them on that subject cavalry. Besides these were, according to another Journal, 15,000 foot, and 960 horse in Valencia, and 11,000 in Arragon, so making the whole regular army of Don Carlos amount to 92,145 foot, and 5,156 horse, which are able to combat with great superiority to the Queen's troops. The regular Royalist troops not of the moveable column arc not counted. which is now engrossing the attention of all Reformers —namely, Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S late declarations in Parliament ; that he would have put them out of sus pense, and set their minds at ease on this momentous theme ;—in a word, that he would have frankly and boldly told them how far himself and his colleagues did, or did not, coincide in the spirit of Lord JOHN Rus- SELL'S disheartening confession of political faith. But on this point the Right Hon. Gentleman preserves a studied silence. He is wondrously eloquent and com- municative on matters which we do not care to know nothing can exceed the vigour and explicitness of his lan guage, when he assures us that Ministers go mucl further than the Tories, and not so far as the Radi cals ; but suddenly, just at the moment when the mention of the word " Radical" would lead us to in fer that he was going to tell us something worth knowing respecting the Ballot and Extended Suf frage—he shifts his sails, puts the helm about, and is off on a fresh tack ! Now, is this manly— is this plain-dealing----is this what we have a right to expect from a MELBOURNE Administra tion ? We think not. It is a matter of vital impor tance to the people to know betimes whether the Minis ters of their own choice intend directly and decidedly to oppose their demand for the Ballot ; whether they are averse to meet their views on the question of an Extended Suffrage; whether,'.in short, they intend to creep, or to move vigorously, along the broad high way of Reform. The people, we say, have a right to know explicitly from themselves how far they may with security rely upon Ministers—no matter how inexpe dient and embarrassing such frankness may appear to the well-conditioned tenants of Downing-street. See the position we arc in as regards the Ballot ! At this present moment we know not whether Government is hostile or friendly to that measure—or whether they have any decided opinions at all on the sub ject. We may conjecture, indeed, that they disapprove of secret voting, but we can affirm nothing with cer tainty. Now is it not a discouraging circumstance that we should be left in this state of doubt and per plexity—nay, of utter ignorance—five years after the Reform Bill—on which, by the bye, it was originally proposed to engraft the Ballot—has passed into law ? However, be this as it may, the course which we ought to pursue, is an obvious and a direct one. We should lose not a moment in agitating the ques tions of the Ballot and an Extended Suffrage— the former especially—so that when Mr. GROTE next brings forward the measure, he may be furnished with such practical arguments as may enable him to make on an irresistible case• If the people do not stir, and stir promptly too, on these matters, they may rely on it they will lose their only remaining chance of suc cess ; for we foresee that this ticklish and complicated question of Canada will furnish -Ministers with an excuse—of which they will be sure to avail themselves —of giving the go-b)e for many a long day to all questions of inferior moment I Let Ireland look well to this, for it deeply concerns her interests. A Cana dian revolt is a capital excuse for deferring the settle 'nein of the Irish Tithe System and of Municipal .tc form. By the arrival of the larkpendent at Liverpool from New York, we have received news from Canada of the 2d instant. All sorts of rumours were in circula tion, but nothing is vet known of the state of the contest, beyond that the mal-contents have been driven out of St. Charles, and St. Denis, by Colonel \VETE! ERA LL ; and that large bodies of volun teers have addressed Sir JOHN COLBORNE, offer ing to conduct the war to a successful conclusion, without the aid of any additional troops from this country. In Montreal 2,500 volunteers are under arms ; in Quebec the volunteer force exceeds 1,000 ; while in most of the other towns in the Lower Province, the proportion of those who have de clared themselves ready to shed their blood to main tain the British connection is, numerically speaking, still greater. The extracts from the New York and Canadian journals, which will be found in another column, are interesting and important. Canada was discovered in 1496 by Join , ' CABOT, a citizen of Bristol, and colonized by the French in 1608, during the reign of HENRY IV., of France, and of JAMES 1., of England. The French held possession of the country till 1626, when it was con quered by the English, but restored about six years afterwards. Quebec, the capital, was taken by the English in 1759, after a battle memorable for the deaths of WOL FE and of MONTCALM, the Generals of the respective armies ; and the entire country was ceded to the English, and confirmed to them by the peace of 1763. In 1791, during the commotions caused by the French Revolution, it received a Con stitution, and was divided into two provinces, which contained, some years ago, a population of 529,000. The population now probably amounts to a million. The French Papers of Sunday have been received. They report that at a solemn consistory, held at Rome, on the 4th inst., at which the most distinguished Members of the Sacred College attended, the POPE pronounced an approval of the conduct of the Arch bishop of COLOGNE, in refusing to obey the injunc tions of the King of PRUSSIA. Letters from Logrono, of the 17th, state that Es pARTERo has reinforced the line of the Ebro. Don CARLOS continued, apparently inactive, at A murrio. A heavy cannonade' was heard in the direction of Pennacerrada, from which it was conjectured that BUERENS had attacked the Carlists in the vicinity of that town. Christinos and Carlists were suffering from want of necessaries. Letters from Toulon of the 18th of this month says, that orders have been given to bring back to France part of the troops belonging to the expedition against Constantine_ The naval department has received orders to offer all the means of conveyance which it has at its disposal. Several vessels arc already destined for this service. The amount of the effective force of the troops that are to occupy Algiers has just been fixed at 38,000 men of all arms. In lieu of the troops that are coming back to France, the 3d battalion of the last four regiments that left France are to be sent to Africa; they arc to be at their destinations by the Ist of April next. We stated this morning, after the Diario di Roma, that in a secret consistory held on the 10th, the Pope had delivered an allocation relative to the arrest of the Archbishop of Co logne. The Gazette de France says this evening that his Holiness gives his full and entire approbation to the resist- GREECE. It appears by reports of travellers lately arrived from Greece that the recefit publication, entitled " Wan derings in Greece," has made the author, Mr. George Cochrane, very popular all over Greece ; so much so, that it is about being more widely diffused among them, for it is to be published in Greek at Athens. This information confirms the judgment we had formed of the work, that the author knows perfectly well the Greek people and the Greek nation, and that what he had said of them was a correct delineation of their character. The author has shewn us a most flattering letter he ha's recently received from the King of Greece, addressing him in the most flattering and con descending manner, and highly honourable to his talents as an author. We have also seen another from General GORDON (the Commander-in- Chief of the forces in the Morea), assuring the author that it is the best work that has ever been written upon the state of the Greek peasantry. We shall not, however, in recurring to this work, again advert to the hundred and one, not Arabian, but Grecian tales, that our author has related in his amusing volumes ; we shall refer to the solid and sensible part of it, and which is quite feasible, namely, " the colonization of Greece." Mr. COCHRANE'S plan is to place the frontiers of Greece in the possession of English and French troops, thereby giving confidence to emigrators, who would thereupon be induced to proceed to that country, and colonize it. Our author is sanguine enough to say that Greece would possess, from its contiguity to the mope populous states of Europe, five millions of inhabitants in twenty-five years, which would thereby make it a respectable power in the East, and ready at all times to assist Turkey, in case the latter country should be invaded by Russia. Our author recommends that the Colonists should be governed by the laws of Greece, which are very equitable, and that the towns or villages which they built should be governed by Officers elected from themselves, but subject to the ratification of the King of Greece. By these means the laws of this country would be quietly submitted to by settlers ; for being administered by a person speaking their own language, they would not be misinterpreted. We recommend these volumes strongly to our readers ;rr► particularly to the enterprizing emigrator and traveller ; to the lady in her boudoir ; and to the statesman in his Cabinet ; for each may derive much amusement and, certainly, valuable information from tem. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. By accounts received this morning from Paris, we learn that the firm of Messrs.

FitATRICIDE.—An inquest was held on the Bth inst. at Houghton, near Preston, before R. Palmer, Esq., on view of the body of George Knowles, who met his death from a blow on the head, inflicted by his brother. The de ceased was a weaver, about 20 years of age. The first witness examined was Barbara Knowles, who stated that she lived in a house about twenty yards from that occupied by deceased and his brother. On the previous Monday morning, about half-past six o'clock, witness being in bed at the time, she beard a loud noise of quarrelling in Knowles' house, imme diately after which all was comparatively quiet, and she heard a piece of iron fall on the floor. One of Knowles' brothers then shouted " Catherine, (which is the name of witness' mother) you must come in ; our Will has killed our George with the poker." Believed it was James Knowles who called so. The testimony of this witness was corroborated by that of two other persons, to one of whom the deceased mother said, " It was a weary thing—our William has made a great hole in George's head with a poker." James Knowles, a brother of the deceased, stated that on the morning in question, his brothers Henry and William were "picking" each other about. George (the deceased) and witness endeavoured to pacify them. William gave George a bit of a" pick" (slight push), which caused George to fall on the floor, and when he got up, witness saw blood running from his head. After George had got up from the floor, witness saw an iron pan with some water in it near to where he had fallen ; he had seen a small poker reared against the pan before George fell, but after he got up witness saw that it had been knocked aside. William never got hold of the poker with his hands. Jle died about half-past twelve o'clock on Wednesday night ; would swear that he had never told any person that William had struck George with the poker ; would also swear that he had not called out to that effect on the morning of the affray. Other corrobora tive evidence, the hearing of which occupied ten hours, was adduced ; the Jury then returned a verdict of Manslaughter. At nine o'clock yesterday morning a number of poor inhabitants belonging to the parish of St. Mary, Pad dington, received from the churchwardens and overseers a loaf of bred and half a pound of cheese, according to the terms of a charter by which some valuable property belong ing to the parish is held. According to the charter the bread and cheese should be thrown among the poor from off the roof of the church, but, from the great confusion and riot which it created, that custom is now dispensed with, and the charity delivered to them at the church-doors. We learn from Jassy that the well-known Member of the opposition, Jorga Ghika Deliana, brother of the gene rally- esteemed Aleku Ghika, has entered the ministry and taken the department of Finances. The world has thus a new proof how little the men of the earlier opposition de served the abuse which has been publicly lavished on them in many letters.—German Paper.

About a fortnight since Mr. S., of this neighbour hood, overtook a person on the road between \Vantage and Hendred, attired in man's apparel, with a quantity waistcoat pieces and . other articles, who importuned him to purchase at such a price that he suspected all " was not right," and there fore declined. In a short time afterwards the same person offered the same articles, together with a watch and several books, for sale at a beer-shop at Hendred, but at so low a price that the suspicions of the persons there being also awakened, they were induced to examine the watch and books, in which they discovered the name of a person resident at \Vantage, and not having received satisfactory replies to the questions put to the seeming man of commerce, a constable was sent for, who conveyed his charge to Wantage, that the matter might undeago a further examination, when lo ! it was discovered that the individual in question was no other than the daughter of the person whose name appeared in the watch and books, and who dutifully purloined them from her father to gratify her penchant for a roving life. She was therefore conveyed to her injured parent.—Berkskire Chron. LLOYD'S SHI PPING.-(THIS DAY.): DEAL, DEC. 24.—Wind S. W. and 25, Wind moderate. I —Arrived the Sir Henry Parnell, Limerick.

(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKETS. There are scarcely any parties that do business in these markets in town to-day. The holidays are kept up, and there will be no public sales until Thursday, and then but two, and those insignificant, they being small parcels of mahogany, hemp, and flax. The chief commodity now advertised for public sale is indigo, but these sales do not commence until this day week. The recent news from Calcutta, which states that the crop will be much larger than previouly given out; has necessarily had the effect of depressing the market, anal these approaching sales must feel it. The British plantation Sugar Market is closed till this day week.• Under the circumstances we have now stated, there is no variation in prices of Colonial produce. There are reasons for expecting a very good business will be done in Colonial produce at the beginning of the new Year. PROVISION MARKET. . There is scarcely anything doing in this market, and prices are generally much as they were last week. The stocks are not heavy, except those of Bacon and Butter. COAL MARKET. _ _ _ This is the day for reporting the Coal Market, but owing to yesterday being Christmas day there was no Market. TALLOW MARKET. P. Y. C. to-day is quoted the same as it was on Saturday, viz.-455. to 45.;. 3d. BILLINGSGATE MARKET. Fish to dry of all kinds was in short supply—this, added to the festivities of the season, made prices high. There were some fine turbot as high as 30s. each, and some very large cod as high as 20s. each; soles 9d. to 2s. per pair; lobsters 9d. Is. 6d. to 2s. each ; no haddock worth notice. HUNGERFORD MARKET. There is nothing to-day worth reporting in any department of this market. Prices generally are high, as they are every where at this season for everything, and much as they were for fish, flesh, game, and vegetables ; but very little business doing. We understand Lord John Russell has directed circulars to be transmitted to the different Clerks of the Peace, with instructions from his Lordship that in future they shall not, by themselves or partners, act as political agent: ; placing them in this respect on the same footing as Sheriff Clerks and Procurators Fiscal.-- Caledonian Mercury.
