SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. An evening Tory Contemporary utters a pathetic wail over the hopeless state of the Irish Election Pe tition Fund. The lament is prefaced with an affecta tion of triumph that only the more clearly exhibits the grief and desperation of the writer. After a vain boast that all Britain is stirring in this holy cause, ensues a plaintive appeal to almost all the important places in the country, thus showing and acknow ledging that the better part of Britain has had the honesty and the good sense to treat the subscription and its advocates with the contempt due to a pro ject so impertinent, mixed with the reprobation pro perly excited by the infamous arts employed to fur ther it. " 'What are the Conservatives of Exeter doing, and of Devonshire generally ? What is Suffolk about, and the zealous Protestants in Ips wich ? Why is Gloucester backward, or Worcester, and, especially, why Southampton ? Canterbury, and Dover, Portsmouth, Ramsgate, and Hastings, all lie open to the same question." Such is the lamenta tion of the Standard, in an article designed to inspire its readers with the liveliest hopes for the success of the " sacred fund." 6. Oh, how near allied to sorrow Are our transports most sincere Even delight is forced to borrow F'eeling's rich expressive tear." Now, we shall briefly inform our Contemporary why there prevails amongst the inhabitants of all these, and a hundred more places of the first consequence in Eng land and Scotland, such extreme indisposition to con tribute their hard-earned money to the fund that has been set on foot to oust the Irish Liberal Members from their lawful seats in Parliament. It is because a more transparentlyflagitious scheme was never broached even by the Conservative party ; and because, so far from having made out a case to justify a proceeding so palpably unconstitutional, the advocates of it have been clearly and fully convicted of having resorted to the vilest arts of calumny and ,falsehood to induce the credulous and giddy portion of the public to give it their support. The inhabitants of Ipswich, Gloucester, Worcester, Southampton, Dover, Can terbury, Portsmouth, and the rest of the long list of places where the whining of the Standard announces the failure of the subscription, were told that a set of needy, profligate, despe rate. and even sanguinary adventurers had, by in timidation the most systematic and ruthless, and by every foul and nefarious means, thrust themselves into the House of Commons against the laws of the land, and against the real sense of the constituency ; and now the people of these same places, as well as the people of the empire generally, have learned that the very genius of falsehood could not have forged a statement more diametric-ally at variance with the truth —it having been shown in this journal, by a plain ana lysis of the list of twenty-one Members petitioned against, that seventeen of the number are Protestants, and that every single individual in the list is a man of ren‘Aerable fertnne. and moving in the highest station of society. The Tory jeurnals have over-rated consi rably the folly and immorality of their party. They letve reckoned unduly upon the extent to which indif feience to truth and recklessness of decency have taken pcssession of the minds of their readers. Whatever readiness there might have been to adopt a step, in it se!f indefensible, for the purpose of purging the House of Commons of a gang of beggars and traitors, there could exist no such disposition to eject hum Parliament a ,te of men equal in birth, raiik, wealth, end all that eenstitutes real or imaginary respectability, to any equal number of the English or Scotch Members. For these reasons the Petition Fund has not answered the hopes of its daring ateliers. Whatever chance the project might have had, if any measures had been kept truth, common sense, and decency in first recom 'meldina it to the public, its advocates destroyed alto gether by the monstrous fictions and calumnies with which they endeavoured to sustain it. To catch the subscriptions .of a few bed-ridden old women, they amazed the nation with fabrications which would have damasked the cheek of Pinto or Munchausen. The boldest writer of romances never ventured so far into the regions of pure imagination as did the Standard in its advocacy of this nefarious proposal. While the Times contented itself with a dashing picture of the Irish Liberal majority, as " the refuse" of their coun try, and " journeymen agitators of Mr. O'Connell," the Standard displayed more creative powers, and out of the urn of its rich fancy drew forth treasons, plots, stratagems, and massacres, with all the phantas magoria of a visionary rebellion, exceeding all pre ceding civil horrors in atrocity. The giant in Rabe lais, whose daily food was windmills, could alone have gorged so vast a fabric as our Contemporary's Ribbon conspiracy. Lest, however, there might have been some Wide -nostrils in England to swallow the inven tion, we thought it right to expose its utter groundless ness by laying before the public the true character and social position of the noblemen and gentlemen who figured as Cades and Tylers in the Standard's co lumns: We flatter ourselves that the trouble which we took has not been fruitless. The peopl e o f Hast ings, Port smou th, Gloucester, Ipswich, Dover, Wor• cester, Ramsgate, and Canterbury, who are deaf to the voice of the charmer, have been probably not a little influenced by the simple tale which this and other matter-of-fact journals have told them. We shall continue to turn the poetic bursts of our Contempo raries into humble prose, for we find that their fanciful flights are apt to have all the effect of wilful false hoods.—Morning Chronicle. To analyse and expose the polluted mass of false hood presented by the Tory organs, is like dissecting a subject in a state of putrefaction—the task is loath some, but it is one essential to the ends of justice and the good of society ; and as such we must brace our selves for the unflinching discharge of the duty which necessity, not choice, imposes on us. In justice to the • Tories, we must admit that, in the unbashed and un restrained recklessness with which they exhibit their designs, they afford us great facility in laying bare their malevolence and depravity ; nay, in some in stances, their deformity stands self-revealed, without the necessity of further demonstration ; and in almost all cases, it is so superficial, that a slight effort only is necessary to denude its hideousness. Ever since the passing of the Reform Act, the Tories have found it expedient, while straining every nerve to defeat the in tention of that measure, to profess the most cordial and sincere desire to carry out its provisions. This dupli city, however, imposed upon no one—the deception was manifest to the most obtuse vision ; and the public, while they contemned the attempted fraud, laughed at its impudence. The Tories, however, are not to beso easily shamed from their purpose. Like knaves baffled in the per petration of their schemes,they assume an air of the utmost indignation at the integrity of their intentions being even suspected, and their leading journal declares that it is a " broad, gross, and shameful falsehood" to assert that they have any desire " to prevent the fur. ther progress of Reform," or " to repeal or neutralise" any of the liberal measures passed from the Catholic Emancipation Act to the present time. Here is im pudence unparalleled. Every act of the Tory faction from the time mentioned has been directed to prevent the progress of Reform, and neutralise every measure intended for the redress of public grievances. Is there a single instance of their policy evincing any other tendency ? Not one. Their exertions have been systematically and uniformly directed to resist the progress of popular rights, and retard or prevent the re moval of abuses from our institutions. Yet in the face of this damning evidence of their implacable hos tility to Reform, the Times does not shrink from as serting that " Sir Robert Peel and the great Con servative body pledged themselves by declarations, distinct and voluntary, to give th e fullest possible effect to every l aw which, however originally at valiance with their judgment, had even in spite of them become the law of England." How has this pledge been redeemed? The history of the two last Ses sions will furnish the reply. But we are spared the necessity of referring to the past, th e b ane i s accompa nied by its antidote—the falsehood by its refutation— and in the same article the opposition to Reform, which is in the first instance denied, is subsequently avowed and advocated, and rather than consent to the measures proposed to give practical effect to the Reform and Ca tholic Relief Acts, it is declared that " all English po :4ll,:,),vltticians, who deserve the name of statesmen, would i?et t elskiiell/ prefer the revival of the old penal laws. 11, 4 4; we ask, do " Sir Robert Peel and the 7:5:41 ` ,7J 1~ THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1837 rule, either in the one part of the kingdom or the other. Against the attainment of such an object every one's attention should be directed. We do not wish to see the Protestants of Ireland possessing any other ascen dancy than the rights and immunities which belong to them as members of the established religion of the state. Every further attempt to rob them of these must be strenuously resisted.—Morning Herald. PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES,&c. &c. &c. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 13.

NIL W. pd PA 4,310 great Conservatives" who pledged themselves to give " the fullest possible effect " to the laws " passed in spite of them" deserve the name of statesmen ? In reconciling these contradictions and absurdities, how the writer must exult in his own ingenuity--he may exclaim with Franklin, that " it is a most convenient thing to be a rational being, and be able to find a pre text for any thing one may have an inclination to do." In themselves the Reform and Catholic Emancipation Acts were comparatively of little value—it was in the principles they admitted, and the consequences which in their fair operation might be expected to flow from them, that their great worth consisted. They were merely the title deeds of civil and religious liberty ; but if possession follow not their reluctant conces sion, they are nothing better than waste paper. In terror of an indignant people the Tories executed the consignment of the deeds, but now refuse to surrender the occupation of the premises. What signifies the extension of the franchise if there be no protection for its unbiassed exercise—if electors be coerced or bribed to vote contrary to their convictions, and if even the majority of their representatives be rendered impotent by oligarchic domination ? What signifies Catholic emancipation if, in defiance of the Act, the Irish people are to be excluded from participating in their own government to the same extent as the people of Great Britain, solely on account of their re ligion ? Every practical reform is denounced as revolution—every concession to Ireland as a step towards Popish ascendancy, and in inveterate re ' sistance to these " Sir Robert Peel and the great Conservative body" keep their pledge to give " the fullest possible effect" to those laws which were " ori ginally at variance with their judgment." Oh no, the Tories have no desire to oppose Reform—in the lan guage of the Times it is " the Roinan Catholic dis turbers of the peace and safety of the realm who force us to arm ourselves for our own security, and to strip them of their implements of treachery and mischief.' How these disturbers are to be stripped of their imple ments of treachery and mischief, and at the same time the fullest possible effect to be given to the principles of civil and religious liberty, we are at a loss to con jecture. To consider the whole assertions as a com pound of fraud and duplicity, they are easily under stood ; but their meaning, if viewed in any other light, would certainly throw us, as the Times boasts of doing, " into no small perplexity."—Morning Advertiser. The Conservative manifestations to which we this day devote so large a portion of our paper are of pe culiar interest. The dinner of the loyal and consti tutional electors of the southern division of Lincoln shire was attended by a greater number of persons (the company, we believe, exceeded a thousand) than were ever before assembled at any festive board in that county. The circumstances which called together so large a proportion of the constituency of this division of Lincolnshire were calculated to elicit a fervent ex pression of Conservative zeal. This meeting, from certain local circumstances, was regarded throughout the county as a kind of test by which it was to he de termined whether the present Members for the divi sion in which it took place should be permitted, at the next election, to resune their seats in the House of Commons without opposition. The Conserva tives of South Lincolnshire were considerably disap• pointed at the late election that none of the gentle men of the county, of politics congenial with their own, came forward to accept their ready suffrages. They were as fully prepared as their fellow-country men of the Northern Division of the county, who it will be recollected returned two Conservative Mem bers, to achieve a triumph in the good cause. But, owing, in pelt to some feelings of mistaken delicacy, and in part to the respect generally and justly enter tained towards the present Members, who, in every relation of life, with the exception of that which con nects them politically with the country, are entitled to all respect, they were deprived of the opportunity of manifesting their zealous devotion to the cause of the Constitution. The electors were sufficiently eager, but the candidates whom they anxiously solicited held back. They were put off,' much against their will, to another opportunity. II ever there was a sponta neous ebullition of popular feeling, it was at the Lincolnshire meeting on Thursday. The idea of this meeting, emanated from the middle class of so ciety. It was encouraged by the middle class of society exclusively. It was intended from the first, and has so been understood throughout the county, to convey an express and unequivocal intimation on the part of the middle class to the gentry of their own political opinions —that, although they consented at the last election to permit the unopposed return of two Members of whose political opinions and conduct they do not approve, they will - not be equally passive at the next opportunity for exertion which may be presented to them—that, in a word, they will have Conservative candidates, and will elect them, whencesoever they may come ; from among their neighbours, if possible, but Conservative candidates whencesoever. We have reason to believe that the -case of South Lincolnshire is not peculiar, and that there are other constituencies in Great Britain placed in similar circumstances, and actuated by similar feelings;. The time is evidently not distant when the county- representation of England will be exclusively Conservative.—Morning Post. Among the tricks of am expert London thief are these—that he will either -turn round upon his accuser and declare him to be the man, or else will join lustily in the hue and cry raised against himself ; and in either case, the crowd who are oftener wrong than right, will, perhaps, join with the culprit, and, in addition to his loss, consign his accuse ar to the horse-pond. Some thing like this, in more the n one of its features, is the attempt making by some o f the Whig-Radical organs to make the world believe - that the Roman Catholics of Ireland are at this moment a persecuted race, and that the Protestants are their of/ pressors. Such is evidently part of the Agitator's game s and, therefore, part of the dirty work of those who I iwe their political fate and existence to his fiat, wb o are bound, of course, to keep up and maintain th is or any other delusion however gross and palpai ble it may be. That this is not only a gross delusion , but the very reverse of the truth, cannot admit of a in, omont's doubt in the mind of any impartial looker-c ,n. What may have been heretofore the case we n either wish to deny or to palliate. We have agahn and again admitted that it is to past misrule that many of the present evils of Ire land may be traced ; but a. century at least has elapsed since anything like persiee ution of the Catholics has existed ; and for at least or ie half that period, strenu ous efforts have been made to heal the wounds which past mismanagement may have inflicted. Another thing, however, is uni br tunately not less obvious, which is this, that every• :recent effort to tranquiMse Ireland has been repaid b y s iolence and insubordination, and that whatever its for Ire er ills may have been, the Irish people were much in tot T quiescent under them than they have been since the e Ali ve branch of civil and religi ous freedom has been unl me sitatingly held out to them. But what in the mean time , t Ind up to the present moment, has been and is the case wi it; h the Protestants of Ireland ? Have they been allowed to I enjoy tranquillity and peace? Against them have not t torch and pike of persecu tion been raised in consta at warfare ? And, are there not at this moment whol e districts in Ireland where it is scarcely safe for a Prof tee stant, known as such, to set his foot ? Let the judicial!: innals of Ireland be perused both from the period of th..e Union and that of Catho lic Emancipation, and the 'y will be found to present one uninterrupted series of i aggression towards those who have been endeavourin g to hold out the hand of fellowship to those who ore in return taught and com pelled to look upon them a s outlaws, and persons with whom no faith is to be I :cl it. Is not IVIrE O'Connell, have l o t first the alluded to ? are not his slaves in the Vtie .istry, and their s u b or di nates of the press, practising 01 l e of the tricks N V Iris the Prote st ant who is e persecuted, Catholic ; ag a i n st the f o IT ter perjury, fraud, burning, and murder are exercised with all the impunity that an implied sanction of aGo remount, bound to the Chariot wheels of the wrong doe vs, can give, while the perpe trators of this sanitrinar r warfare are the mere tools of him who profits by their . - 4k:xcesses, and who, in return fur the profits of their a, .tation, bestows upon them his pity and plenary in ti Agence. Thus persecuted, wronged, and abused, it :s the Protestants of Ireland wh o have a right to look to 3 the legislature for protec tion. If history has no t; taught us, what is passing before our own eyes well lorry, what the Protestants in England as well as heir cd have to expect, should a Catholic ascendancy ev obtain the acknowledged BLACK MONDAY. Pettelin—This is the third time I'm put upon this bench. To think that I can't correct myself—that it should be too much for me : come, there must be an end put to this. President—You are accused of theft and assault. No wonder, Sir, no wonder at all. If you were to say to me, " Pettelin, you've murdered father, mother, sister, and brother, and thrown your aunt and cousin out of the window," I could believe you. I'm capable of anything. I know I am a thorough scamp. You seem to be a sad fellow, indeed, according to your own account. Not when I'm sober ; oh, no ; then I'm as fair a lad as any going ; not susceptible of stealing a hair from the cat's whiskers. But when I drink, oh, then it's all up with me ; then I'm as arrant a blackguard as ever was whipped. But, my good man, if you are so well aware of the danger of intemperance, how come you ever to give way to it? It's a weakness of mine. You see, the fact is, on a Monday one goes to the barriere, one meets a friend, and one must drink. Now drinking makes a man thirsty, and then he must quench his thirst. The next thing is, he gets walla and then he's done for. I've been done twice before in the same way. This is my third offence. Don't spare me. Inflict some serious punishment, and perhaps I may correct myself. Lay it on well, that I mayn't forget it in a hurry. The first time you were cond !mned to three months' im prisonment, for a violtnt assault on the agents of fie public force ? I dare say it was so ; it was on a Monday, I know. murdc'red a poor gendarme. I'm sure, I wonder he did, die of it. Another time you were fifteen days in prison for having danced in an indecent manner at a public ball ? Monday again ! I want a warning —pray let me have one. To-day you are accused of stealing a cap from a drunken man, who was lying by the 10 :chide ? It was a Monday ; oh ! that day's the ruin of me. Will you oblige ma by letting my witnesses be examined. Here's an officer who saw me commit the crime. He'll say enough to entitle me to my condemnation. Officer, come forward, and tell the truth, and the whole truth. Municipal Officer—l profess to do so on oath. I was passing about widni ; ht, on Monday last, through the rue d'Enter, when two steps before me I saw a man in the gutter, snoring like a bassoon. Well, I went up to him, intending to transfer bier to thu guardhouse, when I saw another man coming along—Pcttelin, whom you see before you. Pettel:n—Aye, that's right. Municipal Officer—He stooped, took up the rnan's cap, and ran off with it. Pettelin—Bravo! Municipal Officer—l arrested the criminal, and the co, pus delicti was found in his hand. Pettalin—Capitai Didn t I tell you so ? Municipal Officer—To tell the truth, liovver, the this was almost as far gone as the other. Pettelin has beel denounced to me as an honest industrious workman. W all know that a man-is liable to forget himself when undo; a spiritual influence. A man but a man ; and when his hemi is plunged into those sort of things— Pottelin—Stop, stop! \Vhat are you at now ? Presi dent, I hope you have heard enough. I'm an honest man now, hut I shall become a rogue if I go on as I have done. So say the word, and don't spare the road and spoil the child. President—lf you are sincere in your determination to correct yourself you will have abundant time for reflection. The tribunal sentences you to six months' imprisonment. Pettelin—ls that all ? I shall be brought to the scaf fold at last. Let it be a year, Sir ; pray do. President—The tribunal cannot alter its decision. Petelin—Then I shall appeal against you—me if I don' THE YEAR 1837.

LONG NOSES.—Napoleon used to say, " Strange [ as it may appear, when I want any good head work done, I choose a man, provided his education has been suitable, with a long nose. His breathing is bold and free, and his brain, as well as his lungs and heart, cool and clear. In my observations of men, I have almost invariably found a long nose and a long head go together." GREENOCK.—The following case has excited con siderable interest in Falkirk :—An old man named Gil. christ, belonging to Kippen, arrived there on Saturday se'nnight, on his way to Edinburgh to make some arrange ments about some litigated process. He seemed very unwell, and was directed to a lodging-house in the west end of the town, and on Sabbath he died. His host applied to the Poors' Committee for a coffin, and lodged several papers, from which it appeared he was a man of some respectability, and he was furnished with a covered coffin, and on the Monday evening he was buried. The Procurator-Fiscal previously ordered a post mortens examination, from which it appeared his death was natural. Shortly after, the land lady's son, well known by the name of Queenie, called at the Bank of Scotland's Office, for change of a 201. note, and with another a short time after. The banker's suspicions were excited, as robberies of a very extensive nature were effected at last tryst, and intimation of the circumstance was given to the Fiscal, when the lodging-house was searched, and 35/. found in the drawers. Mr. Gilchrist's friends were written to, and his wife came on Thursday, when the body was exhumed, and identified by her as that of her late husband. Queenie is in prison, and the matter will undergo judicial investigation.—Advertiser. AN ODD .FISH.—A Cuttle-fish was caught in the Old Dock, on Thursday last. This singular creature, be lieved to be the first of its specie ever caught in the Clyde, has eight arms or claws furnished on the interior side with little round serrated caps, by the contraction of which the animal lays fast hold on anything that comes in its way. Besides these eight arms it has two tentacula, four times larger than the preceding, and also pendunculated. When, :be suckers adhere to anything it is very difficult to loosen their' hold. The mouth is situated in the centre, and is horny, a.nd hooked like the bill of a parrot. It is so strong that the arimal can break to pieces the shells of lampets and other marine testacea, on which it feeds. The eyes are surrounded with silvery rings, and are very large. The body is enveloped in a cartilaginous substance, resem bling in shape the sheath used by butchers to hold their knives. This creature has a power of squirting out a black liquor, by which the water becomes as black as ink, and thus baffles the pursuit of its enemies ; the liquid is used by the Chinese in the composition of their ink. In hot climates this fish is found of an enormous size. When the Indians navigate their little canoes they go in dread of them, and lest these animals should fling their arms over them, and draw them under the water, they never fail to have an axe to cut them off.—Greenock Advertiser. SHAKSPEARE, GARRICK, AND JOHNSON.—One of the most savage things ever uttered .by Johnson, was to his old pupil and friend, Garrick. " Now I have quitted the theatre," said the latter, " I will sit down and review Sbakspeare. " 'Tis time you should," exclaimed Johnson, " for I much doubt if you ever examined one of his plays, from the first scene to the last." Between six and seven o'clock on Wednesday even ing, as a gentleman named Baker, residing at Dalston, was driving a lady and her child in a pony-phaeton down Dal ston-lane, he perceived a gentleman on horseback, who was evidently much intoxicateO, riding towards him, at a most furious rate, from the opposite direction. Before ho had time to tura aside, the horse completely rode down the phaeton, and the whole party were thrown into the road. The lady was dreadfully bruised, and one of her eyes was nearly cut out, but Mr. Baker and the child almost miracu lously escaped uninjured. Singularly enough, the son of the injured lady (Mr. Coster, a stockbroker) had only a few minutes before helped to re-mount the tipsy gentleman on his horse, from which he had been thrown, after unsuc cessfully trying to persuade him to put it up at an adjoin ing, stable. Proceedings are about to be taken against the party, whose name and addresp were taken. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, OCT. 11, 1837.

The average price of Muscovado Sugar, from the returns made in the week ending the 10th of Oct., 1837, is 355. 3d. per Cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable ea thelmporta tion thereof into Great Britain. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the New London Price Current of last Evening.) &GAIL —The prices of British Plantation have advanced fully Is. per cwt. since our last, and there has been a very good business transacted ; the demand has been principally for the scale ; the refiners, owing to but few of them being at work, and the competition they still meet with from the Dutch for the manufactured article, have purchased rather sparingky of the raw material ; at auction 121 hhds. Barbadoes went at a similar improvement in prices as noticed above, fine grocery selling at 655. a 665., mid. and good 625. 6d. to 645. 6d. ; at the present rates some of the importers are not inclined to sell, and when it is considered that by the last returns the stock is 12,174 hhds., 865 trs., and 1,353 brls. less than it was last year at this period, and that at the princi pal outports a further falling off of above 8,000 hhds. is known to exist, it is natural that many of the holders should be very confident, in the expectation of this difference show ing itself very much by the end of the year, and that they continue consequently sanguine in the opinion that a further advance in prices will take place, particularly if the compa rative delivery should progress on the same scale as of late; last week above 500 Mids. more were delivered, than in the same space of time a twelvemonth before. Were it not for the discouraging prices which the refiners are still obliged to accept for their manufactured goods, there is every probability the raw article would, by this time, have been more like what it was in value last year. Another of the Ja maica vessels taken notice of in our last report as being missing is said to be lost ; one has arrived in a shattered condition at an outport, and two or three are still unaccounted for. The arrivals since this day week amount to 4,422 hhds. 290 trs. and barrels, which is about 2, 100 hhds. more than last year. This afternoon there was a very brisk demand from both the grocers and refiners, and previous rates were fully main tained, and in some instances the importers demanded rather higher prices ; the purchases for the week amount to 3,600 hhds. and trs. In the Refined market there has been more animation this week than has been the case for some time past, and the sup. ply of goods continuing very short, improved prices have been obtained ; the grocers have purchased freely of all descrip tions at an advance on previous rates of Is. ; Lumps rather under the standard selling at 745., and those entitled to the double bounty at 755. ; for shipping there has been a very good business done, and double Crushed has been selling at Is. advance, sales made at 545., and there being only a limited quantity ready for immediate delivery difficulty is now expe rienced in purchasing under 345. 6d. Pieces and Bastards have been in brisk demand at fully previous rates for the former, and at 2s. advance for ord. descriptions of the latter. Treacle has been taken readily, particularly ord. and mid. qualities, for which rather higher prices have been obtained. Dutch Crushed Sugar continues in request, and 200 hhds. have been sold at 31s. per cwt., but 325. is now demanded ; 31s. 6d. has been offered and refused. MAURITIUS.-The importers continue to require very stiff prices, but there has been only a moderate demand, and a part only of 1,719 bags offered at public sale, principally a very ord. parcel, found buyers, low mid. grey at 545. 6d. to 555., fair and fine brown 525. to 555. 6d., ord. yellow 565. to 575. 6d., good i9s to 60s. ; several piles of mid. quality were bought in at full ls. advance; the stock in first hands is now nearly all held by ono firm; the only arrival has been 2,187 bags. This afternoon, at public sale, 6,173 bags were all disposed of readily, the lots which went under 58s. were fully former rates, but those above that price went 6d. to Is. dearer, low to good middling 575. to 605., very good 635. per cwt. EAST INDIA.-For Manilla there has been a brisk request, and the private purchases amount to 6,600 bags' at fully pre vious rates, the principal part taken for Antwerp at 18s. for mid. and 16s. for low brown; Siam much enquired after at former prices, hut there is no supply at Market; Bengal has again been taken steadily for home consumption at the rates of this day week, 365 bags duty paid at auction %sent at 67 5 , 6d., to 68s. for fine, and 665. to 665. 6d. for good mid. white ; for exportation business has been prevented by the scanty supply of those subject to the 365. duty. FottaroN.-For yellow Havannah there has been an active demand at fully previous rates, and the purchases privately amount to 2,000 chests, at 275. 6d. to 28s. for fair and good mid. quality ; white has been taken sparingly at former pikes, and the transactions have been confined to 150 chests by pi. vac contract at 365. to 425. for low and good ; the scarcity of Brazils prevents business ; all descriptions are much wanted, at fully the prices quoted ; there ha ve b een no pu b lic sales of any description, and nothing is advertised.

[The Market Intelligence will b e g i ven every Tue sda i and Friday, in the S econ d Edi t i on o f The Sun , for the future.] The great speed at which the steamers navigate` the river, to the :serious injury of the smaller c raft, Is comparatively of very recent origin. On the first irnr°l . duction of s t eam - vesse l s as a conveyance between L onde ; and Gravesend, th e average rate o f sa ili ng wa s about 0 miles an hour ; now it is more than double. Seven howl were then considered a very fair time in which to comp lete the distance. Now a double voyage from Gravesend to London and back is frequently performed in three hou rs and a half. Within the memory of many persons the tilti boats from Gravesend and London, in shape and s P ee r greatly resembling th e present b a ll ast- li g h ters , took four 0 five tides for the comp l et i on o f th i s voyage. Between 6 ' l use of these and the introduction of steam-vessels the Mi n i dee boats were in requisition, and these generally complete the distance in about six hours.

B s bb age th e i r wishes an t question Since th e commencemen t o f the original ma; chine Mr. Bsbbage has projected another, and far Ivo r , power ful engine ; the former c ould e mploy about 1 20 filM.teh in its calculatio n s, th e l a tt er i s i n t en d e d to compute' wi about 4,000.
